Chapter 178 Mo Kang's Footprints



Mo Ping'an sleeps with the booklet in his arms at night.

That night, she seemed to dream:

One spring, when the weather had just turned warmer and the ice and snow had melted, Mo Kang, wearing a cloak and riding a horse, passed by the stream.

Guan Jie was not a prefect at that time, but just a small legal advisor.

Guan Jie and the prefect at that time received Mo Kang together.

Mo Kang greeted the prefect, who was a little impatient at the time because he felt that Mo Kang was looking for trouble with him. He found several excuses to refuse and refused to go to work with him. Instead, he pushed Guan Jie, who had little real power at the time, out and asked Guan Jie to help look for the person on his behalf.

Guan Jing is very kind-hearted. He takes Mo Kang wherever he wants to go.

The two men searched Duhei Mountain for three months, covered in dust and dirt, and finally found it in a valley between two mountains.

The two people cried with joy and hugged each other.

As soon as the mine was found, the prefect came and said flatteringly, "Oh, thanks to Lord Mo, we were able to find the existence of the mineral vein. It is also because of Lord Mo's efforts that we can report to the emperor."

Mo Kang looked at him coldly. For the past three months, not only had the prefect not participated in the search, but he had also been corrupt in his handling of the case. However, Mo Kang still smiled and said, "It was thanks to your cooperation that we were able to find the location so smoothly!"

The prefect smiled from ear to ear and said, "I wonder if you could say a few good words for me in front of the emperor?" The prefect wanted to go to Kyoto to be an official and didn't want to stay in this cold place.

Mo Kang smiled and said, "That's natural, that's natural."

As a result, Mo Kang turned around and filed a memorial to the emperor, accusing him of neglecting his duties, not participating in the case, and committing favoritism and fraud, resulting in many unjust, false and wrong cases.

When the emperor found out, he was instantly furious and took off the prefect's official hat.

The emperor was very pleased to know that a position had been found. He made an exception and promoted Guan Jing, who had been following Mo Kang in searching for mineral veins, to be the prefect.

Guan Jing can be said to have finally reaped the rewards of his hard work.

In the dream, Mo Kang seemed to be guiding Mo Ping'an to find the location of the mine.

First we passed through a birch forest. There was a triangular shape drawn on the forest, which was the trace left by Mo Kang.

Following the direction guided by the tip of the triangle, Mo Ping'an was still in a dark and gray place in his dream. Mo Kang's face was blurry, but Mo Kang didn't speak.

He just kept walking, walked through the birch forest, saw a huge rock, climbed over the rock, passed through a narrow cave, and saw light in front of him. After Mo Ping'an came out, he no longer saw Mo Kang.

Mo Pingan tried to shout, "Dad! Where are you?"

"Kids, remember this road. It's the only way for you to find the mine." Mo Kang's voice rang out.

Mo Ping'an heard it and tried hard to remember it.

"Dad, I miss you so much. Are you and mom okay?" Mo Ping'an shouted.

"Okay, everything is okay. We are together. Nothing can separate us this time. We have been watching you and paying attention to you, Xiao Ping'an. Don't feel inferior because your parents died early. The love your mother and I have for you is no less than that of any other parents. It's just that we are separated by heaven and earth and can't be together. But it doesn't matter. When your life is over, we will come to pick you up, and then our family of three will be reunited." After Mo Kang finished speaking, he disappeared, and the sky was bright.

Mo Ping'an opened his eyes, and the scenes in his dream seemed still vivid in his mind. Afraid that he would forget them, he quickly wrote down the route.

Yi Xiaomai came to have breakfast with Mo Pingan.

Seeing Mo Ping'an drawing something, I walked over curiously.

"What are you drawing?" Yi Xiaomai asked curiously.

"This is the only route my father told me to find the mine in his dream." Mo Ping'an answered him with a smile.

"Did your father tell you in a dream?" Yi Xiaomai felt magical.

"Yes, he said it himself." Mo Pingan said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaomai bowed three times towards the map and said, "If this is true, then thank you, Master Mo Kang, for helping us!"

Yi Xiaomai first asked Mo Ping'an to put the map away.

After they had eaten the breakfast prepared by Zhang Xuemei, they asked Guan Jing, "Master Guan, why haven't you been promoted to another position in these eleven years?"

"It's not that I don't want to be promoted, but I have feelings for this place. I don't want to leave. Moreover, this place has the shadow of me and Lord Mo Kangmo fighting together. If I leave, there will be no one to guard this place well. If there are thieves who want to make trouble at that time, it will be out of reach." Guan Jing explained helplessly.

"Yes, my husband is good in every way, except that he is a little stubborn and sticks to his own ideas. For so many years, I have told him that people need to move around to survive. He can't just live in this snowy place. If he can be promoted, it would be better to move to a warmer place." Zhang Xuemei agreed.

"Stop talking. What do you, a woman, know about official affairs?" Guan Jing stopped Zhang Xuemei from talking.

Zhang Xuemei insisted, "If you hadn't let me tell you, who would have known that you've been looking for Mo Kang's notes every year to remember him?"

Yi Xiaomai pricked up his ears when he heard that.

When he looked at Mo Ping'an, Mo Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Sir Guan, you should have a good relationship with my father, right?" Mo Ping'an asked tentatively.

"Mo Kang is your father? Yeah, your last name is Mo too. What a coincidence! I didn't expect Mo Kang to have descendants!" Guan Jing realized that he was a little too excited, and the next second he spoke softly, "I'm sorry, I scared you. I just suddenly saw the shadow of an old friend in you, and I lost my composure for a moment. Please forgive me!"
