In the end, Gu Nian still taught Gu Xin how to make simple rice balls, and told Gu Xin to get up early the next day to make them. She told Gu Xin to put them in an insulated food container that her family had made last year, and to add some water so that the rice balls would be hot.
Gu Xin wrote everything down and got up before dawn the next day to prepare.
Gu Shouxin saw all of this but did not stop her from doing anything.
He didn't need to rely on Gu Xin's lucky koi fish words to speculate whether there would be a war between Da Zhou and Chu Yun; he already knew about the Peng family army's deployment.
Since arriving in Kuncheng, Lu Zheng has spent most of his time deploying troops in the Kingdom of Chuyun, except for a trip to the Kingdom of Goddess. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war in the Southern Frontier last year, Lu Zheng would probably have already led his men to fight against the Kingdom of Chuyun.
Let these two children have a final get-together before they part ways!
He was also at ease, as both of them knew proper etiquette and were aware of what they should and shouldn't do.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head, and in Kuncheng, the excitement of this day is no less than that of the Lantern Festival.
Gu Xin and the others did not play in the city, but went outside the city.
Gu Si, Zheng Ling, and Meng Yan sat in the carriage, while Lu Zheng and Gu Xin drove the carriage.
Gu Xin has a good memory. She remembered that last year when it snowed, she and her siblings went to play in the snow with their uncle. She pointed out the way and wanted to go with Lu Zheng, even though it was already springtime and there was no more snow.
"Brother Yuanyuan, let me tell you something. There's a cave over there. I still can't figure out whether what I saw that day was a person or an animal. Shall we go to that cave and take a look?" Gu Xin told Lu Zheng about the cave.
She still doesn't know whether it was a person or an animal. After that, she asked Bai Er to send people to check. People from the past said it was a cave and it should be an animal, but Gu Xin felt in her heart that what she saw that day was a person.
"Okay, let's go take a look in a bit!" Lu Zheng readily agreed to her request.
“Brother Yuanyuan, if, and I mean if, what if I had seen a person last year? What kind of person would it have been? There are no villages around, so what kind of person would go to that cave? Could there be wild men in the mountains?” Gu Xin asked again.
“I’ve heard Bai Er and the others mention that place you’re talking about. I’ll be passing through there on my way to Izumo. I’ve never seen a cave there before, let alone any savages, so I can’t answer your question,” Lu Zheng said truthfully.
He even wanted to crack open the little girl's head to see what she was thinking all day. Where did this savage come from? Kunzhou is such a big place, even if there really were savages, they would gradually become normal people.
Is it that there isn't enough land, or that there isn't enough prey in the mountains? Should I become a savage?
“Brother Yuanyuan, can I take you tomorrow? Sigh, actually I'd rather go with you! But, Mom and Dad definitely won't agree, and Grandpa and Grandma won't agree either. My uncle said before that we sisters must never follow in our eldest sister's footsteps and find someone who leads troops into battle, and we are absolutely not allowed to join the women's camp. It's enough for our eldest sister to go alone! Sigh!” Gu Xin sighed.
"Silly girl!" Lu Zheng rubbed her head. "Grandpa, Grandma, and your second uncle and aunt are right not to let you go. I won't agree to let you go either. It's fine in the army camp normally, but once there's a war, swords don't have eyes, and there's no certainty on the battlefield. Who would want you to suffer?"
