Lu Zheng and Gu Xin felt much better after eating the pancakes and walked back with everyone.
When Cheng Huaijin found the two of them, he fired a signal flare to warn the others, so as not to waste Xue Qianyu and the others' time.
"With such a huge storm before, I'm afraid all the remaining people in Yunhai have already perished at sea!" Peng Silang mentioned the people of Yunhai.
“Even if they didn’t end up at sea, they won’t have an easy time. I saw a few ships floating on the sea earlier, but I don’t know where they’re going. If they don’t have a helmsman and can’t reach the shore, they’ll have no chance of survival but to starve to death on the ships,” Lu Zheng said.
"If we had known there would be such a big storm that night, we wouldn't have chased them. We could have let them face the storm on their own, and we wouldn't have suffered any casualties. Sigh, sometimes man proposes, God disposes!" Gu Xin sighed.
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
We all live inland and can't fathom the unpredictable conditions at sea; nobody knows when the storm will come.
"By the way, brother, you didn't tell Father that Yuanyuan and I disappeared, did you?" Suddenly, Gu Xin asked Cheng Huaijin about this matter again.
"No. General Xue said to search first, and if it's not found in three days, send a message back. It hasn't been three days yet, has it?" Cheng Huaijin replied.
"That's good! I was very worried when Father was kidnapped by King Yunhai's men. He'll definitely be worried if he finds out I'm missing, and so will Yiyi and Xue'er. By the way, brother, has Xue'er returned to the Flowing Sand Palace? Or is she still in Giant Stone City?" Gu Xin asked again.
"Sister Hui has had someone escort her back to the Flowing Sand Palace. Although Yunhai has forgotten, things have been a bit unsettled in Yunhai's territory lately, so it's safer in Flowing Sand. Judging by the time, they should have arrived in Flowing Sand by now," Cheng Huaijin replied.
...
Five days later, their group encountered Gu Hui and her group on the way.
After the war ended, Gu Xin seemed to have returned to the carefree days she had in Kuncheng, and she even started to act coquettishly when she saw Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe.
She hugged Gu Hui and said, "Big sister, when we get back, you must tell my parents how hard I've worked. Ask Dad to excuse me from my morning exercises and let Mom continue running the business. As for me, I'll just stay home every day, eat, sleep, and play with the kids. Okay?"
Seeing the lively and energetic Gu Xin, Gu Hui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Your second uncle and aunt won't make you do anything, even without me saying anything. Just stay home and have fun! Kuncheng is much more fun than before, with several new counties added and more people. You can do whatever you want!"
Princess Jinghe said, "Xinxin, when we go back, let's go to the Linzhou coast first and experience the life my father and his family lived. That's what life is all about! It's so much fun! But we'll get a tan."
Gu Xin waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, getting a tan is nothing, I'm already tanned. Big sister, Sister Zhen, Third Sister He, you have no idea, Yuan Yuan and I were blown far away, and we walked for a whole day and night. During the day, we looked at the things on the beach and knew they were edible, but we just didn't know how to cook them, it was so worrying. This time when we went back, Yuan Yuan said he wanted to learn how to cook seafood, perfect, we can go to Linzhou to learn!"
He Sanniang chimed in, "That's a great idea! Now that the war is over, our camp won't be as busy as before. We can go and have some fun for a month or two, how awesome would that be!"
