When Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing arrived at the village entrance, panting, Li Shiyue's team had already gone far away, leaving only fine dust raised on the official road.
After all, no matter how fast a person's legs are, how can they run as fast as a horse?
Wang Xiangxing, holding her waist and panting heavily, stomped her foot in frustration: "I still didn't make it!"
It's all your fault, you dawdled!
Li Wangjin, who had been scolded by Wang Xiangxing, scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "Damn it, I was just thinking that they couldn't leave so early in October."
Who knew they'd leave so hastily in October, barely after sunrise?
"Mom, what should we do?"
"Sister October and the others have all left."
Hu Zi, who had grown taller than Wang Xiangxing, looked at the carriages and horses that had already turned onto the official road in the distance, and turned back to Wang Xiangxing with a dejected expression, saying this.
Wang Cuihua and Zhao Sanhe, who were standing next to the family of three, also caught up with them. When they saw that the people had already gone far away, Wang Cuihua's eyes reddened and she almost burst into tears on the spot.
"What are we going to do? We haven't even had a chance to say a word to October!"
Zhao Sanhe stretched out his large palm and patted his chest. Running all this way had really taken his life.
Before he could catch his breath, he sighed again and patted his wife's shoulder. "Don't worry, Li Shiliang is still alive, isn't he?" Zhao Sanhe pointed to a group of tall men not far ahead.
Let's go ask and see if October left any message.
Zhao Sanhe's words jolted the group awake. Without even catching their breath, they rushed forward, trying to grab Li Shiliang and interrogate him.
When Li Shiliang heard someone calling him from behind, he turned around and saw Wang Cuihua and the others looking like this, and immediately understood what was going on.
He took Zhao Sanhe's arm and led him back to his home.
Upon seeing this, Li Wangjin, Wang Xiangxing, and Hu Zi immediately followed.
Wang Cuihua, Zhao Sanhe, Zhao Xier, and two other women from Zhao Youjia quickly followed.
When they arrived at Li Shiliang's house, Li Shiliang was not the type to lie to people.
He said directly to the people sitting on the kang and on the ground, "I said in October that they will send someone to pick up Aunt Zheng next year."
If you still want to go to Jian'an later, we can go together.
"real?"
Wang Cuihua's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to grab Zhao Min's hand. "Sister-in-law Min, did the general really say that?"
Zhao Min smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
In October, she said that she left for Jian'an in a hurry this time, and it was cold on the way, so it would be inconvenient for her to take us with her.
"Once she's settled over there next year, she'll send someone to pick us up again."
The others all beamed with joy upon hearing Zhao Min's words.
However, after listening to what Li Shiliang and Zhao Min said, Li Wangjin asked the question: "October... Is what they said true?"
Brother Li, is she really not coming back after October? Never going back to Lijiatun again?
They went to Jian'an and will never come back?
"Really... never coming back?"
Li Shiliang looked at Li Wangjin, who had just buried his own father (his eighth great-uncle) two days ago. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he swallowed and closed his mouth.
Regardless of what Li Shiliang was thinking at that moment, Zhao Sanhe, listening from the side, was quite engrossed.
Zhao Sanhe rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Then we'd better make some good preparations, save up some money, and hurry up and find people to sell what we need."
"Dad, as for the things in our yard that we can't take with us, we should sell them as soon as possible."
The general is a very capable person. Once she arrives in Jian'an, she will surely establish herself quickly.
"What if the general sends someone to pick us up when we haven't even prepared anything yet?"
Ever since Zhao Xier was rescued by Li Shiyue from the bandit stronghold, her attitude towards Li Shiyue has been no different from that towards a god.
In the eyes of Zhao Xier and her family of three, there was nothing that Li Shiyue couldn't do!
"Yes! Xi'er is right!"
I heard that Jian'an is also near the sea, so there must be a lot of mountains there!
"Once we get there, we can learn to fish, and we can also clear land and farm. We might even live better than we do in Andong!"
The Zhao family of three, including Zhao Sanhe, Wang Cuihua, and Zhao Xier, became more and more excited as they talked, and their initial frustration at not catching up with Li Shiyue was completely swept away.
Wang Cuihua held Zhao Min's hand and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Min, when it's time to leave, please remember to call our family! Don't leave us behind!"
Zhao Sanhe and his family left Li Shiliang's house with smiles on their faces, but Li Wangjin and his family of three did not leave with smiles on their faces.
Standing at the gate of his own yard, Li Shiliang watched the cheerful figures of Zhao Sanhe's family and couldn't help but shake his head. He said to Zhao Min, "Your sister-in-law's family was frowning just now, but now they're acting like they've found a treasure."
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him: "Aren't you the same? Just now at Shiyue's place, you couldn't even speak properly."
Now you're laughing at others?
Li Shiliang was speechless after his wife's words. He awkwardly touched his nose and didn't dare to say another word.
After a short pause, Li Shiliang continued, "But on our Li family's side..."
Zhao Min knew that Li Shiliang was referring to the disappointment on Li Wangjin's face earlier, as well as the attitude of the other villagers from Lijiatun who also shared the surname Li when they saw Li Shiyue off at the village entrance.
Zhao Min stepped forward and patted Li Shiliang's arm, comforting him, "Alright, it's other people's business, we can't interfere."
Zheben had originally planned to quietly tell Shiyue that our whole family was going to go with her.
Who knew that there were quite a few other people around here who shared the same idea as us.
There's no way to hide it anymore. After this morning, or even now, the whole village probably knows about it.
Li Shiliang thought of Li Wangjin's family and those members of the Li clan, and he shook his head.
He turned around, grabbed Zhao Min's arm, and headed back home.
"She never intended to keep this a secret in October."
She told me at the time that if anyone asked, I should just tell the truth.
She must know what's going on in October; we just need to mind our own business.
As for what others do, it's just as you described; we can't control that.
As the sun set, Lijiatun gradually quieted down.
Each family in Lijiatun had their own little schemes, and Li Shiyue, whom everyone in Lijiatun was talking about, finally returned to the village in Sanshan County before dark.
However, before they even stepped into the village gate, Li Shiyue spotted a familiar face standing at the entrance waiting for her.
