"You brat!" Gu Shouxin kicked him. "You are the eldest grandson of the Gu family. In the future, you will have to choose between the honor of the Gu family and your family. What will you choose?"
Gu En was taken aback.
Gu Shouxin looked at him with a calm and composed expression.
"Father, Mother sent me to call you over there. There's water there!" Gu Nian called out from outside.
"Okay, coming right away!" Gu Shouxin replied, then said to Gu En, "I'll give you a year to think about this. I want an answer by the end of this year."
"Okay, Second Uncle!" Gu En breathed a sigh of relief.
He really hadn't thought about that question.
The uncle and nephew got out of the car, and outside General Peng Si greeted Gu Shouxin with a smile: "Second Brother Gu, it's been half a month since we found water, it's really not easy! Come on, let's go and see if the water in this desert is the same as the water back home."
Gu Shouxin smiled and went with General Peng Si.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites had been there for half a month, and all they saw every day was yellow sand. So the sudden appearance of a water source was truly a surprise to everyone.
Moreover, the water carried by the camels has run out, and everyone has not drunk any water for a day. Now they must go and drink their fill.
Although Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian came from the modern world, neither of them had ever traveled to the desert before, so this trip allowed them to experience it for themselves.
The attendants in charge of the meals had already moved the pots and pans to the water source and started cooking right there.
After everyone had drunk their fill of water, they chatted about the road ahead while cooking.
The route map showed that they would need another half month to get out of the desert, and then a few more days to enter the Kingdom of Goz.
If they want to get to the Kingdom of Quicksand, it will take them until early March.
After Gu Nian looked at the itinerary with Huo Yanyu and Gu Si, they gathered together to chat.
"Third Sister doesn't know we went along too. Second Sister, Hanhan, do you think Third Sister will cry when she sees us?" Gu Si asked with a smile, resting her chin on her hands.
“She’s definitely going to cry, and cry her eyes out!” Gu Nian said.
"Let's change into Western attire, put on big beards and hats, and dress up as men to tease her! Let's see if she'll hit us!" Huo Yanyu suggested.
"Great! I heard that Third Sister is very powerful now. Let's all team up and see if she can beat us!" Gu Si nodded repeatedly.
"Forget it! Xin Xin is very popular now. All the people of Liusha Kingdom know her. If we bully her, she won't even have to lift a finger. We'll be surrounded by the people of Liusha Kingdom!" Gu Nian shook her head. It wouldn't be good to cause public anger.
"It's alright, we'll hide when we're almost there and not let her see us. She'll probably think it's just Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Brother Enzi who went. We'll tease her again once we're inside the Flowing Sand Palace!" Huo Yanyu added.
“Oh right, we can also ask Yi Yi and Xue Er to help us. Let’s give Third Sister a big surprise,” Gu Si added.
"Alright! It's been a long time since I've seen the little girl cry and laugh, be fierce and cute at the same time!" Gu Nian agreed. She remembered when she first transmigrated, she forced the little girl to loudly tell others, "I am the prettiest little girl in our village."
She still remembers that little face.
It's been over a year since I last saw her. I wonder what Xin Xin looks like now, whether she's grown taller, lost weight, or has become the stunningly beautiful woman described in Gu Ren's book.
When their little Xin Xin grew up, none of her family members were by her side.
