Chapter 164 You are finally here
Shi Mo heard this and laughed at himself: "Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. Your elder brother and I believed in your information without a doubt and never had any doubts. It was because of this that they had the opportunity to take advantage of this loophole!"
"Brother Shimo, don't think too much. I will definitely rescue Senior Brother. I will ask Uncle Zhao to send you home first. I am going home too."
Jia Luo patted Shi Mo's shoulder gently and said comfortingly.
"Lolo, you go back first. I will go with you to rescue the minister in three days!" Shi Mo said weakly.
Jia Luo hugged him and said softly, "Brother Shimo, you have helped me a lot. This time, you should take good care of yourself and don't follow me!"
Shi Mo was still talking about something, but Jia Luo had already stood up and said to Wen Lingyue: "Dad, let's go home!"
Wen Lingyue nodded, held Jialuo in his arms, said hello to a few people and left.
Wan Yan stayed behind with Zhao Lin to send Shi Mo back to the Shi family, and then slowly walked towards the Wen family.
When he returned to the Wen family's old house, it was brightly lit and filled with laughter. It was obvious that the Wen brothers all knew that the little kid had returned, so they all came back to reunite.
Wan Yan walked into the yard and saw this warm scene, but he felt mixed emotions.
When Jia Luo saw Wan Yan coming in, his eyes lit up a little, and he said with a smile: "Fourth Brother, you're back. Is Brother Shi Mo okay?"
Wan Yan squatted down and rubbed his hair: "He's fine, he just needs to rest for a few days!"
"Brother Four, let's go eat. Grandma has made a lot of delicious food."
"Lolo, you..."
Wan Yan wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he just smiled helplessly and let Jia Luo pull him into the house.
At the dinner table, the whole family sat together, having a great time.
Grandma Wen kept picking up food for Jialuo, her eyes full of love: "Luluo, eat more, you've lost weight. Is it because your dad didn't feed you enough when you went out?"
"I'm full, I'm full. I eat a lot every day! Maybe it's because I've grown taller, so I look thinner! Hehe." Jia Luo replied with a smile.
After hearing what Jia Luo said, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more relaxed and cheerful.
While eating, Grandpa Wen asked, "Lolo, how long will you stay this time? You're almost four years old. Grandpa means that if you don't go out, you can go to kindergarten first to adapt. When the new year comes, we can go directly to school, okay?"
Jia Luo put down his chopsticks, looked at the people at the table, and bit his lip: "Grandpa, grandma, I will be leaving in three days, but don't worry, if this trip goes well, I will not go out in the future!"
The originally relaxed and cheerful atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly froze, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, and they fell into silence for a while.
Grandma Wen looked at Jialuo distressedly, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs: "Luluo, you just came back, why are you leaving again?"
Jia Luo's eyes were also moist. She stood up and walked to her grandmother's side, hugged her arm, and said softly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely come back early to accompany you, okay?"
Old Master Wen sighed lightly. Although he was reluctant, he also knew Jia Luo's character. Once he made a decision, nothing could change it.
He said slowly: "Luoluo, is this trip dangerous?"
Jia Luo nodded and whispered, "It's a little dangerous, but don't worry, I can handle it. And Da Hua is here. Da Hua is very powerful now. Oh, and Xiao Qilin is here. Xiao Qilin has almost recovered now!"
Wan Yan also spoke up at this time: "Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, don't worry. I will go with Jia Luo, and I will do my best to protect her and will not let her get hurt."
Wan Yan's words made the Wen family feel a little relieved, but their worries were still evident.
During these three days, Jialuo did not go anywhere and stayed at home with Grandpa and Mrs. Wen.
He followed them around every day, chattering incessantly, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the Wen family's old house from time to time.
Three days later.
The entrance of the Wen family’s old house.
Wen Lingyue looked at Jialuo in disbelief: "Luluo, why don't you let daddy follow you this time?"
"Dad, this trip is more dangerous, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you!"
Jia Luo lowered his head slightly, his voice carrying a hint of stubbornness and determination: "Dad, I have grown up, and there are some things I must face by myself. Besides, my fourth senior brother is accompanying me on this journey. He is very powerful and will protect me. You just wait for me at home."
Wen Lingyue's eyes were slightly red. He squatted down, held Jialuo's shoulders tightly with both hands, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Luluo, Dad knows you are very brave. But you have to know that you are Dad's favorite. If you don't let Dad go with you, Dad will be very worried. So, you let Dad go with you, and Dad will wait for you at the foot of the mountain. How about not going up the mountain?"
Jia Luo looked at the worry and expectation in his father's eyes, and his heart softened. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently: "Okay, Dad, then you must wait for me at the foot of the mountain, and don't run around."
Wen Lingyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly said, "Okay, Dad will listen to you. As long as I can be closer to you, Dad will feel more at ease."
Jia Luo turned around, hugged Mrs. Wen and Grandpa Wen, and said with sobs: "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, I will be back soon, and you should take good care of yourself at home."
Mrs. Wen wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Luo Luo, grandma is waiting for you to return safely, so you must be careful."
After everything was ready, Jialuo, Wan Yan and Wen Lingyue drove to the road to the top of the holy mountain.
"Fourth Brother, where is this holy mountain?" Jialuo asked in a baby voice.
Wan Yan looked at Jia Luo's cute appearance, but his expression was still solemn. He took out a map from his pocket, unfolded it, pointed to a mark on it and said, "Lolo, the holy mountain is here, located northwest of where we are now. It's quite far away, and the terrain in that area is steep and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel."
Jia Luo blinked, listened carefully, then nodded and said, "Oh, I don't understand!"
The two of them were amused by Jia Luo's sincere confusion.
While driving, Wen Lingyue looked at Jialuo in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "Luluo, when you come back this time, you should go to school, otherwise you will become illiterate in the future."
"Dad, I can understand what you are saying. Don't worry, I will not become illiterate. Big brother taught me a lot of words before, and I know them all. I am very educated!"
Jia Luo straightened his chest and a confident smile appeared on his face.
The car continued to move on the road, and the scenery outside the window kept changing, from the bustling town to the quiet countryside, and then to the mountainous suburbs.
As we got closer to the holy mountain, the atmosphere in the car became more solemn.
After some time, the car slowly stopped and finally arrived at the foot of the holy mountain.
Jia Luo was the first to open the car door, stepped out and stood still. Looking up, she saw that the entire holy mountain was tightly shrouded by a layer of inky black fog, which was slightly chilly.
Jia Luo couldn't help but frown slightly and said softly: "It seems that the remaining soul of the demon god has really escaped."
"Then you..." Wan Yan looked at Jia Luo with a worried look on his face, and was about to ask a question.
Just then, a voice interrupted him.
"You are finally here!"
