Because of this incident, neither the uncle nor the nephew slept much that night.
The next day, when Chi Yu woke up and came out, he saw that the uncle and nephew had dark circles under their eyes.
Seeing that they were listless, Chi Yu asked, "Brother, are you and A Kang going to the cave to rest for a while?"
Still preoccupied with finding the person and afraid that Qi Mingyu and his family of three would come looking for him again, Chi Dahu shook his head upon hearing this.
"No need! We'll go to the stream in the cave, wash up quickly, and then set off."
It's already dawn; if we don't go out, we might miss our sister-in-law and the others.
"I'm afraid we'll have to find our way to the county town and then go back."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu took the two into his spatial storage, then extinguished all the firewood and other debris before heading outside.
After they reached the main road leading to Chijia'ao, they cautiously looked around again.
Only after confirming that no one was around were the two people released.
When Chi Yu released the person, he took some flatbread and steamed buns, along with a small jar of meat sauce and a water bladder that had been filled earlier.
As Chi Kang took big bites of the steamed bun filled with meat sauce, he thought happily to himself, "It's definitely more comfortable to come out with my aunt."
You don't need to worry about food or drink at all.
Anyone who didn't know him would think he was out having fun!
Unlike Chi Yu and his family's relaxed atmosphere, Qi Mingyu and his family of three, after the fright they experienced last night, decided not to go to Chijia'ao.
They wanted to go home, so they had to go back the way they came.
Fortunately, the wind had died down, and although they were still slipping along the way, it wasn't as difficult as before.
Before they even reached the village where they had been attacked, they saw a long caravan of horses galloping toward them from afar.
Upon seeing this, the three members of the Qi family exchanged glances.
Qi Mingyu then said, "I heard before that the charcoal in the county town is all burned in Chijia'ao."
I also heard that Chijia'ao transported a lot of coal to the county town some time ago.
I estimate that these trucks are all going to Chijia'ao to transport coal.
"Father, Mother, how about we go to Chijia'ao instead?"
If they didn't have to walk and could follow the car, the elderly couple would still be willing to take another gamble.
With these outsiders transporting coal, the people of Chijia'ao wouldn't dare to go too far and certainly wouldn't resort to violence against them.
If their second son could reconcile with the Chi family before these coal carriers left, they could stay in Chijia'ao and live a life of luxury.
When the weather improves next year, the second son will go to the prefectural city to take the imperial examination. They won't have to worry about travel expenses, nor will they owe the Qi clan any favors.
If that doesn't work out, they can follow the car back to the county town.
However, this is a last resort!
Even so, they could still tell others that they were worried about their grandson in this weather, so they went to great lengths to visit him in Chijia'ao.
This way, it can also help the second son gain a good reputation.
To outsiders, he should portray himself as a loving and devoted father!
It has to be said that the Qi family's minds worked incredibly fast in that instant.
Without needing to discuss it, the three of them instantly aligned their goals.
Immediately, Qi Mingyu retreated to the side of the road, while Old Man Qi and Madam Shen stood in the middle of the narrow road.
They believed that the driver wouldn't disregard human life and just knock them down like that.
Just as they expected, even if the officials were in a hurry, they wouldn't just run into someone who was right in the middle of the road.
Once the first carriage slowed down, the carriages behind it naturally slowed down as well.
The convoy heading to Chijia'ao was led by Shen Kai.
He wasn't familiar with the Qi family, and since they were dressed thickly and his car was approaching from a distance, he couldn't see them clearly.
