"Dad, I am an unfilial daughter. How have you and mom been these years?" Sang Shui did not throw herself into Father Sang's arms and cry, but kowtowed to her old father.
"Hurry up, child! Your mother and I are fine. Ever since we fled the famine, we've been hoping to see you again. This is all thanks to our little lucky star." Father Sang spoke the truth he hadn't said for a long time. He turned to look at Sang Jin again. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved.
“…”
Old Man Sang and Old Lady Zhuang were talking to the Sang Shui family.
"Xiao Jin!" Sang Mu heard a familiar voice outside the carriage. He knew that his daughter, whom he had always cared about, had returned.
"Dad, I'm here. Where's Mom?" Sang Jin asked casually when she came back and didn't see her mother.
"Your mother had just given birth to my little brother. She ate and went to bed. Do you know how dangerous it was for you to go rescue people alone? When I left the city and learned you weren't there, I was so worried. If your mother hadn't gone into labor so suddenly, I would have gone to look for you." Sang Mu still felt a little guilty. He wasn't a good father. He hadn't been able to find his daughter right away.
"Dad, I'm really fine now. My aunt's family is safe and sound. A family should be together. Look how happy grandpa and grandma are." Sang Jin said, not forgetting to glance at Father Sang.
"Besides, Xiao Jin is not alone. Li Jingyu is with me." Sang Jin comforted Sang Mu in turn.
"I'm glad you're okay. It's so late. Go to the cart and have some rest. I brought out a new quilt." Sang Mu urged Sang Jin to go to bed.
"Yeah." Sang Jin was also tired today. She soon fell asleep next to Sang Yu on the wooden cart.
The next day, when I woke up, I discovered that Zhou Peng's wife had also given birth. It was a little girl. The midwife said she would stay here for two days until the mother was completely fine, and then she would return to the city. This meant that the Zhou Ercun team would be delayed for two more days.
The people of Zhouda Village pooled their money, and Tuosangmu went into town to help buy rice, flour, and some daily necessities. Since the people of the two villages had met, it would be safer to go together since there were more people.
Sang Mu went to town early in the morning. Old Mrs. Zhuang reminded him to buy more eggs and brown sugar. Sang Jin, with nothing else to do, used her free time to cultivate. Li Jingyu went to town to help her pick up the clothes she had made for Xiao Jin from her shop. Sang Jin also asked him to buy a few sets of clothes for Sang Shui's family. She also needed to buy a brand new quilt.
Li Jingyu arrived in the city. For future convenience, he bought five sets of clothes for everyone in the Sang family. Of course, the newly arrived Sang Shui family also got some. He also bought ten quilts. He also bought some shoes.
He couldn't let these little things waste his time; he needed to spend more time with Xiao Jin in his training. Xiao Jin gave him a manual for cultivating thunder magic. It was called "The Art of Crossing the Sky Thunder Dragon." It was a Saint-level manual that could be cultivated all the way to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
After shopping, Li Jingyu found Sang Mu and left the city with him. Before Xiao Jin went into seclusion, she asked him to take care of Uncle Sang.
Two days later, Sang Jin emerged from her retreat. She had already reached the third level of Qi Refining. Her ice-based technique, "Ice Over the World," had also reached the third level. It was truly wonderful; her cultivation was slowly improving.
After the Sang family's luggage was packed, Sang Mu put it all into the space ring. Li Jingyu also gave her all the things he bought for Sang Jin.
After confirming that Zi Shufen and Lin Niang were fine, the midwife explained some precautions and prepared to return to the city.
"Wait, Village Chief Sang." Zhou Dahe trotted over.
"What's the matter, Village Chief Zhou? We are getting ready to set off. If you want to come with us, go and pack up quickly." said Old Man Sang.
"No, we have packed everything. I just want you to be the village chief of our Zhouda Village. You see, originally both of our villages have the surname Zhou. There are not many people left on my side. Let's just merge them into one village. I will help you like Zhou Fugui. What do you think?" Zhou Dahe said with a grin.
Zhou Fugui was truly a shrewd man, having handed the village over to the Sang family long ago. It was said that the Sang family had a little lucky star. The Sang family became rich overnight because the little lucky star had found a powerful master. It was said that he was an immortal.
She also had an immortal by her side, constantly protecting her. No one in Zhou Er Village dared to touch the Sang family. Now, everyone followed the Sang family's lead. There weren't many people left in Zhou Da Village. Finding a big tree for shade, he naturally didn't want to fall behind and lose to Zhou Er Village.
It doesn't matter whether he becomes the village chief or not. In the current situation, being able to survive is good enough. Even if we change our surname, it's fine to call it Sangjia Village in the future.
"this……"
"Village Chief Sang, please don't refuse. After we merge, we will be called Zhoujia Village. There will be at most 1,400 people in total. There are less than 200 households. You decide on the major issues. I will take care of the minor matters. How about it?" Zhou Dahe tried his best to persuade Old Man Sang.
"Alright then. I'll take charge. But let's make this clear: I'll just be the village chief. Big things come to me. You can handle anything else on your side." Old Man Sang was ecstatic. The two villages had been battling for decades, and in the end, it was me, Old Man Sang, who was the village chief.
"Then it's settled." Zhou Dahe was overjoyed. He had finally gotten close to the Sang family.
Old Man Sang knew Zhou Dahe's plan, just like Zhou Fugui's before. They both had the same idea. Let them do what they want. Their little lucky star had said that a village like this could support several more. Just look at how capable his granddaughter is.
The Sang family walked in front. Zhou Fugui and a few others walked in front to explore the way. Zhou Dahe and a small group walked at the end of the village.
Sang Mu pulled the carriage very slowly, fearing that it would damage his wife's wound. Although Zi Shufen sat in the carriage and did not come out, she could still feel a dull pain in her lower body from the bumpy ride.
Looking back, it was better than Lin Niang's wooden carriage. Her carriage was draft-proof, and for Zi Shufen, who was confined to her mother's home while fleeing famine, this was the best possible condition.
Sang Jin wanted to take her mother into the secret realm to nurture the fetus, but her cultivation was too low. Currently, she couldn't even enter physically... only her spirit could.
"Mom, I found a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills in the ring left by my master. It can replenish Qi and blood. It's just right for you." Sang Jin took out a small white porcelain bottle and gave it to Zi Shufen.
She had secretly refined this last night. It was afternoon, and the villagers were tired from walking. They stopped to rest. She had come to give the pill to her mother. This was a second-grade pill. She could refine ten pills in one furnace. It was just the right amount to replenish her mother's qi and blood.
The main thing was that she couldn't release chickens from the secret realm every day during this trip. If she did, the secret realm's affairs would be hidden. However, it would be okay to have her father hunt one or two chickens every once in a while.
