After so much trouble, the night is almost over.
In another hour or so, they would be able to leave the mountain as soon as it was light. Taking advantage of this moment, Song Yuehua leaned against the basket and closed her eyes to rest.
"I can't beat you, are you happy?" Gongsun Yan, who was sitting next to them, suddenly said.
Song Yuehua didn't want to pay attention, so she turned her head to the side and pretended not to hear.
"Although I can't beat you, Xie Feng, I won't give up."
Gongsun Yan was afraid that she couldn't hear it, so she moved closer to Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua, "..."
"I finally met a man I like so much. I will never let go no matter what. I..."
Gongsun Yan started to cry as she spoke, "I just wanted to go around the periphery, but I didn't expect... Xiao Wuzi followed me for three years..."
It was impossible to rest. Song Yuehua opened her eyes and looked up at the dark night sky. In her ears, she heard Gongsun Yan's sobbing voice, all of which was about Xiao Wuzi.
She didn't know Xiao Wuzi, and the first time she saw him, he was a corpse. What could she say to him!
"Did you hear that?"
Gongsun Yan came over with a pale face and asked loudly, pulling Song Yuehua back from her thoughts.
"Xiao Wuzi is dead because of your willful behavior. I guess he would be laughed at by the ghosts below even if he becomes a ghost." Song Yuehua said coldly.
Gongsun Yan wilted instantly, staring blankly at the fire, unable to utter a word.
It was getting light.
Song Yuehua stood up, stretched her body, turned off the engine, packed up her things and prepared to leave.
Zhang Si also woke up. After he got up, he felt sore all over. He looked at Song Yuehua with a complicated expression.
"Are we still going to move Xiao Wuzi's body?" Song Yuehua asked.
Gongsun Yan nodded.
Zhang Si came over and said, "I'll carry it."
The three men walked in a miserable state from dawn to dawn, and finally got out of the Mountain of No Return.
Gongsun Yanlai gave 5 taels of silver to Zhou Dafu and asked him to buy a coffin for Xiao Wuzi and give him a proper burial.
Then he gave Song Yuehua another 60 taels of silver.
"Wait a minute." Song Yuehua stopped the man and said, "Let's be honest. I won't charge you a penny more."
When he took out the IOU, he also returned 8 taels of silver.
It's worth earning 52 taels on this trip, which is enough to buy 52 piglets.
"You are very good at archery." Gongsun Yan asked.
Song Yuehua smiled, "Stop talking nonsense. How can you hunt if you are not good at archery?"
Gongsun Yan threw the handkerchief into the wash basin, looked at Song Yuehua with concern, and asked, "You are a capable person. Come with me to join the army. I will guarantee you a prosperous life. How about it?"
"No need," Song Yuehua said, "I have parents and children at home, vegetables in the fields, and pigs in the house. I can't do without you."
Gongsun Yan: "..."
There was the sound of the courtyard door opening outside. Song Yuehua went over to take a look and saw that it was Xiaoyu who came back.
"Sister Song!"
Song Yuehua said, "Aren't you in class right now? Why did you come back?"
Xie Yu glanced at Gongsun Yan and said, "You didn't come back yesterday. I was worried all night. Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. It's not like I haven't been to the mountains before. There's nothing to worry about."
Song Yuehua smiled and pinched her face.
Gongsun Yan frowned.
Xie Yu said, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I killed a chicken and stewed it this morning. It's now warming on the stove, and it's perfect for drinking now."
Song Yuehua: "..." Killing a chicken in the middle of the night, how creepy.
Before drinking the chicken soup, Song Yuehua felt a little uneasy and went to the chicken coop to take a look first.
What’s missing is the yellow hen that just started laying eggs recently!
Song Yuehua felt a little sad. The big yellow chicken was at the prime of life, but it was gone just like that...
The aroma of chicken soup wafted through the kitchen, and Xie Yu filled a bowl for each of them.
"Xiaoyu, now that you're back, have a bowl for yourself. You didn't sleep well last night, so don't go to class in the afternoon." Song Yuehua took the chicken soup and said.
Xie Yu shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm not sleepy yet. Since Sister Song is fine, I'll go back to class first. I won't delay the students too much."
Before Xie Yu left, he glanced at Gongsun Yan again.
Gongsun Yan: "..."
"Is the school also yours?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"Haven't you found out about such a big thing?" Song Yuehua asked with a smile.
It's not that she didn't find out, but it sounded like a fantasy to her at the time and she didn't believe it.
Gongsun Yan blew on the soup and took a sip. "It's delicious."
"Of course it tastes good. These are the laying hens that I raised with great care." Song Yuehua said.
Her heartache was beyond words. Gongsun Yan chuckled and felt the soup in the bowl taste even better.
The two were drinking chicken soup when there was another knock on the door. Song Yuehua went to open the door and it turned out to be Liu Xue.
"Master, are you okay?" Liu Xue asked after looking him up and down.
Song Yuehua called her in, "I'm fine, come in and have a bowl of chicken soup."
"I really don't understand you. It's not like I haven't been to the mountains before. Why should I be so nervous?" Song Yuehua said.
Liu Xue said, "The last time I went into the mountains was several years ago, and you are getting old..."
Song Yuehua couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm 17 this year, and I'll be 18 next year. This is the time when my physical strength and energy are at their strongest."
Liu Xue entered the kitchen and noticed Gongsun Yan. She couldn't help but frown and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't she left yet?"
Gongsun Yan suddenly said, "Your village is quite xenophobic."
Liu Xue brought the chicken soup over, pulled out the two chicken thighs from the pot, and put them both in Song Yuehua's bowl.
"You misunderstood."
