For two days, little Lingling lived a very comfortable life. She slept until she woke up naturally every day, and then went out to visit friends with her grandmother.
In the evening, just like when I was a child, the women in the village would go to sit under the big tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air and chat about family matters.
However, they had been out for too long, and Xiao Lingling also planned to go back.
She hadn't heard from her master for so long, and she didn't know what he was researching. She was somewhat curious and wanted to go back to check. If there was nothing wrong, she would go home.
After all, the news brought back by the people sent to find Uncle Wang and the carrier pigeons were not good, and she was really getting restless.
So, that night, Zhao said goodbye to everyone with Xiao Lingling and prepared to leave early the next morning.
The grandparents and grandchildren had anticipated everyone's reluctance to part, and they were just as reluctant, but all good things must come to an end, and separation was only a matter of time.
That night, Zhao seemed to be unable to sleep. While tapping the small bell, she was absent-mindedly talking about what happened since she married into this village at the age of sixteen.
She spoke seriously and little bell listened attentively, and before they knew it, the night had passed.
If the sunlight had not filtered through the window and blinded Zhao's eyes, she would have continued to speak.
"Hiss~~ It's so bright! Oh my god, how come it's already dawn?"
Zhao looked down in panic and saw that Xiao Lingling was so sleepy that her eyelids were almost drooping.
But she was holding on to a string, and when she realized the sound had stopped, she still tried to open her eyelids a little bit in confusion.
"And then? Grandma, what happened back there..."
The sound of the little bell became smaller and smaller, but it still did not forget to continue asking, which made Zhao laugh.
"And now you're sleepy and need to go to sleep. Come on, grandma, pat you to sleep."
As Zhao spoke, he patted her back lightly with his big hands.
Little Bell seemed to have heard what she wanted to hear, and her head tilted, and then she started snoring.
Zhao just thought it was funny, but she didn't want to disturb her, so she got up quietly and as soon as she went out, she saw Deng Zhuo and Liu Pozi packing up their things in the yard.
"Be gentle with your hands and feet. Little Bell hasn't slept all night and just fell asleep. Don't wake her up."
Deng Zhuo was a little surprised, "Ah? Master is asleep? Then these things..."
Although I've only been there for a few days, there are still quite a lot of things, including a pile of scattered tables, chairs and benches.
These were all old items that had been used before. Zhao looked at them with some nostalgia, but she only glanced at them.
"Put the light luggage in the carriage, and leave the large items like tables, chairs, and benches here. They belong here in the first place."
Seeing her say that, Deng Zhuo and the others had no choice but to do as she said.
Everyone was quick and efficient, and breakfast was simple. After they finished cleaning up, Zhao got into the carriage holding Little Bell.
I gently placed her on the seat, fearing she would fall, and even used something to block her. Although it was a bit crowded, it was not a problem for only one little bell to sleep there.
Zhao locked the door again and looked at the familiar door, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
She didn't think much about it, got on the carriage and let Deng Zhuo drive, while she leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
After just a few steps, the carriage suddenly paused and then stopped.
Before she could ask, the noise outside gave her the answer.
"Big sister! This is the pickled vegetable I made last month. It's just right for my son right now, so I brought it to you."
"Aunt Zhao, these are the pickled vegetables I've been busy making these past two days. They're freshly made and will take a month to mature. You can take them back so your two sisters-in-law can have a taste of home."
"That's right, and here are my dried mushrooms. They're well preserved and haven't gone bad at all. The mushrooms here are delicious. They're all here."
......
Zhao's eyes widened when she heard this. She opened the window and looked out, and saw the villagers waiting there, each carrying a basket or holding a jar.
As soon as they saw her, they smiled happily and squeezed forward, wanting to hand her the things in their hands.
"Fellow villagers, I appreciate your kindness, but please take your things back. This car really can't hold them all."
What Zhao said was the truth, but everyone was too enthusiastic. They gathered around the back and stuffed the carriage full without leaving any space.
Even so, not everything was packed in, but most of it was packed in, which made Zhao laugh.
"Aunt Zhao, please don't refuse. These things are not worth much. If we want to eat them, we can just make them ourselves. It doesn't take much effort.
This time you came back and helped us all so much, it is no exaggeration to say that you saved our lives.
There's nothing we can do, that's all we can do. If you continue to refuse, we'll only feel more uneasy, so please just accept it.
I'll definitely come back when I have time! And thank you, little bell, for the things you gave us. We will definitely learn how to grow them well.
The journey is long, I hope you all have a safe journey! Come back often if you have the chance! "
"Yes, yes, no matter where you settle down, this is home. We are all waiting for you to come back!"
......
Everyone's sincere farewells rang in her ears, and Zhao couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just waved her hand and said take care.
As the carriage went farther and farther away, the figures of the villagers became smaller and smaller until they were no longer visible.
Zhao knew that she might not have the chance to come back in this life, so she moved the corners of her lips and said a silent goodbye.
When she came to her senses, little Lingling was still sleeping beside her.
Looking at my granddaughter's round little face, I feel extremely satisfied.
This is also good. At least the family is safe and sound and the children are working hard to grow up. That's enough.
In order to let Little Bell sleep a little longer, the carriage was not traveling very fast and even deliberately avoided those rugged sections of the road.
As a result, when Xiao Lingling woke up, the carriage was still swaying on the road.
Although she had put a cushion under her bed, Xiao Lingling still felt sore from sleeping. She rubbed her eyes and found herself in a carriage when she opened them.
Zhao noticed her movements and rubbed her head, "Oh, are you awake?"
Little Lingling called out "Grandma" softly, then slowly got up.
"Grandma, have we already set off? Where are we going?"
Zhao lifted the curtain and took a look. "Mobei Town should be ahead. After passing here, we will reach the main camp. It should take about an hour."
Little Bell stretched and said, "Shouldn't it be here soon? That's great, I can get there in one nap."
"Gurgle~~~~~"
