"It's been two months already? Time flies!"
Old Huang suddenly felt a bit dazed. He hadn't expected time to pass so quickly; two months had gone by in the blink of an eye.
He still felt like he hadn't had enough!
Seeing the obvious struggle on Old Huang's face, Zhiyin raised an eyebrow and teased, "What's wrong? Grandpa Huang, you're reluctant to leave?"
"Don't you want to draw?"
Upon hearing this, Old Huang's expression of inner conflict deepened, but he still nodded without hesitation, "Of course I miss her! I wonder if my granddaughter, who paints, has been bullied in the past two months?"
"Have you been reviewing your lessons properly? Have you been practicing martial arts, including horse stance, every day?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but cough twice, his eyes flickering, "Ahem... when are we going back?"
"How about we wait until tomorrow to finish listening to Journey to the West before we leave?"
Upon hearing this, Ziyou looked at Zhiyin expectantly, seeking her opinion.
"Oh, so Grandpa Huang also wants to listen to a novel!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin immediately drew out his words, looking at Old Huang with a half-smile, as if he couldn't do anything about it. Old Huang couldn't help but awkwardly touch his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as well.
But soon, as if realizing something, he proudly puffed out his chest and glared at Zhiyin with a righteous air, "What's wrong? Grandpa just likes this kind of thing."
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Seeing him puffing out his beard and glaring, Zhiyin couldn't help but laugh again. "Oh dear, look at you two, so full of yourself. We'll set off tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you along the way, okay?"
"So you don't get addicted to it later..."
"Hehe, that's great, let's pack up and go home now."
When Huang Lao and Ziyou learned that their confidant would tell them, their eyes lit up instantly. They were overjoyed and couldn't wait to buy local specialties from the provincial capital to take back with them.
Watching the two figures walk away without any regard for their image, Zhiyin chuckled and shook her head, then began to arrange matters related to her departure.
I also handed over the Journey to the West novel that I had been writing through the night to Grandma Lin, and the opening theme song, Yun Gong Xun Yin singing style, and the intro were given to the sisters in the theater.
I also made an agreement with them that I would publish a novel about once a month.
When they learned that Zhiyin was about to leave, Qiu Mama and the other sisters in the theater were filled with reluctance.
Grandma Lin also came specially to give Zhiyin a knee pad that she had sewn herself.
The shopkeepers of the other shops also felt melancholy, looking at their confidant with reluctance.
"Boss, you absolutely have to come see us next time!!!"
"Why are you leaving so suddenly? Why didn't you stay a few more days?"
"Yes, yes, boss, are you sure you won't stay here all the time? We feel really uncomfortable without you. We're afraid we won't be able to capture the essence of the performance, and we're also worried that the costumes won't be suitable later."
This is what the theater sisters said: they have always had a confidant guiding them in everything they do, following their every step.
Now that they no longer have a confidant, they are truly afraid of something going wrong.
Zhiyin simply smiled faintly, reassuring them, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, just go for it. And I will send you detailed instructions on clothing and various tools every month."
"A rough similarity is fine; it doesn't necessarily need to be 100% accurate."
"All right…"
…
Knowing that her confidante was leaving, she had a joyful dinner with the shopkeepers and staff that very night, as a kind of family gathering.
After several rounds of drinks, everyone finally parted ways.
The next day, after Zhiyin and Old Huang woke up naturally, they got into a carriage and headed towards Xinghe County.
"I wonder if the blacksmith will think I'm cheating, but I've already asked another shopkeeper to help me get it, so it should be fine."
Zhiyin thought of the return furnace that the blacksmith had made for her before she left Xinghe County, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, my dear granddaughter, hurry, hurry and take this opportunity to tell us what the story of Journey to the West is!"
Just then, Old Huang and Ziyou rubbed their hands together and came over, their eyes sparkling as they urged him on.
Seeing how eager the two of them were, Zhiyin couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, alright, tell me, tell me now!!"
"Before I begin, I'd like to give you some background information. This is a world where humans and transvestites coexist..."
Old Huang and Ziyou obediently pricked up their ears, looking like they were listening attentively.
Zhiyin smiled and continued, "Legend has it that long, long ago, in the sea of Aolai Kingdom, there was a mountain called Flower Fruit Mountain. At the top of Flower Fruit Mountain was a celestial stone that, over hundreds of years, absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and gave birth to a stone monkey..."
Her voice was full of emotion and very engaging. Before long, the initially indifferent Mr. Huang and Ziyou were drawn in, their eyes shining with longing.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, as if their souls had wandered to another world.
On the other side, the teahouse was in a similar situation.
I knew today was the release of a new novel, but since I knew it was about a monkey, a pig, a horse, and two other people, many people weren't very interested.
I think it's probably not very interesting; everyone's just here to join in the fun, hoping to find like-minded book lovers in the teahouse to discuss the Seven Fairies together.
I was always multitasking, listening intently to Grandma Lin's storytelling on stage while quietly complaining, eating, and drinking milk tea.
However, gradually, without realizing it, their eyes widened, the potato chips in their mouths no longer tasted good, and they quietly put down their milk tea without even realizing it.
