Even after many days, this news still shocked people.
Many days have passed, but when people talk about it, they are still excited and still cry tears of joy.
Mu Shaohua and his group have been notified that they are free to leave.
I had been looking forward to it for a long time, but when it finally came, it felt a little unreal.
Mu Shaohua gripped Zhong Hu's arm tightly. "Is this real? Can we really leave?" How could he not believe it?
"Get away from me." Zhong Hu painfully shook off Mu Shaohua. "Of course it's true, you broke my arm."
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Mu Shaohua and went inside to pack his luggage.
He knew perfectly well that this time he could really leave.
Although life here is peaceful and comfortable, he still wants to go back, back to the place where he can shine and contribute.
"Hey, where are you going?" Mu Shaohua shouted from behind.
Zhong Hu ignored Mu Shaohua's shouts. He took out his few clothes, grabbed a small bundle, stuffed the money into his pocket, and went out.
"You're all packed up already?" The group looked at Zhong Hu in disbelief; he was incredibly fast.
"Of course," Zhong Hu said curtly, and then left the courtyard where he had lived for several years.
I probably won't come here again.
He turned around, took one last look at the willing man, and left without a trace of regret.
"Hey, wait for us! Let's go together!" Mu Shaohua shouted angrily.
They clearly came together, so why did Zhong Hu leave first?
But Zhong Hu completely ignored it, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Huang Zhen and Lin Mu quickly packed their luggage, leaving Mu Shaohua alone in the courtyard with a furious expression.
"Don't you think Zhong Huqi is being a bit unfair? We... hey, where are you guys?"
Mu Shaohua originally wanted to criticize Zhong Hu and then get the other two to join forces in attacking him.
But when I turned around, there was no one there.
"A bunch of guys who don't get along."
Although he was cursing, a smile always remained on his lips.
Song Lili suddenly remembered something: Mu Shaohua had something else with her.
"Qinghua, come with me up the mountain. I need to get something from a cave."
The jade pendant that Mu Shaohua hastily gave her back then is still in the cave.
Now that Mu Shaohua is leaving, it's time to return the item to its rightful owner.
Zhang Qinghua quickly understood what Song Lili was going to do, nodded, picked up a basket, and went out with her.
“I estimate they will be leaving in the next few days. I will take it out and give it to Grandpa Mu. It must be something important to him.”
Back then, they probably had no other choice but to give it away.
Now that it's all over, of course we should take it back.
The cave is still the same as before.
Inside, the two of them have changed it so much that it's no longer the same as it used to be.
Half of the room was filled with their own books, as well as books they had salvaged from recycling stations.
The other half contained a bunch of miscellaneous things.
There are old pottery items, and some things that look quite old.
It's strange, it takes up half of the cave.
However, she kept Mu Shaohua's things separately, just in case she suddenly couldn't find them later.
After carefully placing the dragon-shaped jade pendant close to his body, he said to Zhang Qinghua, "It seems there are still some of Grandma Zhao's and the others' things here."
"But they've already left, so there's no way to return it to them."
Fortunately, all they had left here were books.
The two took their things and tied a bundle of firewood on the way home before leisurely making their way back.
As soon as I got home, I saw Zhong Hu sitting in the main room.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Song Lili asked in surprise.
Zhong Hu has a bad temper; the description "stinky and stubborn" is absolutely accurate.
He rarely goes out and doesn't interact with many people; he's usually practically invisible.
How could Song Lili not be surprised to see him at home?
"I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving here." Zhong Hu's voice was still stiff.
"That's a good thing, I should congratulate you."
"Well, now that you know, I'm leaving." Zhong Hu stood up, looking like he was about to leave immediately.
Song Lili quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute. I've prepared some things for you, take them."
She had already prepared it when she heard the news, and now she can take it right away.
"No need." Zhong Hu was reluctant to bring it, nor did he want to accept it.
"It's just some dried vegetables, which I made myself. I don't have anything fancy at home, so please consider it a farewell gift from me."
Song Lili hurried to get it, afraid that Zhong Hu would turn around and leave without taking the things.
"Alright." Song Lili had already placed the item in her hand, and Zhong Hu reluctantly accepted it.
When he reached the door of the main room, he turned around and said, "I'll go to the capital later." Then he strode away.
"This grandpa is really unconventional." In modern terms, that's called having a unique personality.
"Lili, where's Zhong Hu?" Mu Shaohua's voice came through even before he arrived.
“He’s already gone.” Song Lili pointed to the door as she watched Mu Shaohua run in.
"What? They're gone? I rushed as fast as I could and still missed them?" Mu Shaohua could hardly believe his ears.
Is Zhong Hu running so fast? Does he have wheels of fire under his feet?
"That's too much! They didn't even wait for me. Lili, I'm telling you, I'm leaving. I'm going."
Mu Shaohua didn't see Zhong Hu turn around to chase after him, but Song Lili grabbed his arm, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
"Lili, let me go right now, or I won't be able to catch up with Zhong Hu!" Mu Shaohua was extremely anxious.
"Please wait a moment, I've prepared something for you."
After saying that, he didn't waste any time and quickly went to get it, afraid that the person might run away.
When giving her the things, she also gave him the jade pendant, saying, "Here, take this back. She's kept it long enough."
"This...this..." Mu Shaohua paused, staring at the jade pendant, and remained silent for a long time.
He never expected to see it again.
"Since I've already given it to you, it's yours now. There's no reason for me to take it back."
Although he was tempted, he also came to terms with it.
He gave this away to protect himself, and he won't take it back.
"No, I can't take it. This must be quite important to you. I don't want to take it. You should keep it yourself."
Song Lili quickly stuffed the jade pendant into Mu Shaohua's hand.
How could this be? Shouldn't you be excited to see this and snatch it away? Why don't you want it anymore?
This doesn't fit the plot.
This is something that could be passed down as a family heirloom, and you just give it up so easily? You just throw it away like that? How can you be so capricious?
At this moment, Song Lili finally understood why Mu Shaohua and Zhong Hu were friends—they were equally willful.
