"Something's happened in the prefectural city, I need to go back right away," An Yunzhou said, putting the letter away.
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately became anxious: "Master, what about your injuries now?"
"It's alright, my injuries have almost healed." An Yunzhou stood up and stretched his limbs. "The matters in the prefectural city are more important, I can't stay here any longer."
With that, he instructed his subordinate, "Go and prepare for me now, I'll be leaving right away."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate quickly said, "Master, it's getting late, and the mountain path is difficult to traverse. Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to continue?"
An Yunzhou frowned slightly. He knew all too well that it was getting late and the mountain path was difficult to traverse.
But the matter in the prefectural city really can't be delayed any longer.
However, if something happens at night, then it would be a loss.
"Alright, let's leave tomorrow morning."
His subordinates immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was truly afraid that An Yunzhou would disregard everything and rush back to the prefectural city overnight.
Keep in mind that An Yunzhou's injuries haven't fully healed yet.
If anything unexpected happens again, it will be a real problem.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, before dawn, when Lin Cuiying got up, An Yunzhou was already dressed.
What's going on here?
Lin Cuiying looked at An Yunzhou with a puzzled expression on her face.
An Yunzhou looked at Lin Cuiying and smiled slightly: "My benefactor, I'm leaving now."
"Go? Where are you going?" Lin Cuiying was taken aback and asked.
"Something happened in the prefectural city, I need to go back and take a look," An Yunzhou said.
Lin Cuiying nodded. "I see. Then you should go quickly."
An Yunzhou looked at Lin Cuiying and suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.
Although he hadn't known Lin Cuiying for long, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity about her that made him want to get closer to her.
"My benefactor, will we ever meet again?" An Yunzhou asked Lin Cuiying.
Lin Cuiying was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's meet again if there's a chance in the future."
An Yunzhou nodded. "Okay, benefactor, take care."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As Lin Cuiying watched An Yunzhou's retreating figure, she suddenly felt a sense of loss.
She didn't know why, but she always felt empty inside, as if something was missing.
An Yunzhou had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned back, quickly walked to Lin Cuiying's side, and whispered, "My benefactor, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Lin Cuiying snapped out of her daze and looked at An Yunzhou: "What is it?"
An Yunzhou looked around and whispered, "My benefactor, I have something to tell you. There are treasures on the mountain. You can go and look for them."
Lin Cuiying was stunned for a moment.
"You...you're telling the truth?" she asked, somewhat incredulously.
“I’m not sure.” An Yunzhou thought for a moment, then added, “You can go look for it with Tian Dong when the time comes.”
Lin Cuiying's initial excitement subsided.
However, if there really are treasures on the mountain, why aren't they shown on the map provided by the system?
Could the baby be somewhere else?
Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying asked again, "Do you know where the treasure is?"
“Near the cave.” An Yunzhou wasn’t sure either. Thinking about where those men in black had appeared, it should be nearby, so he pointed with his finger, “It’s the cave we stayed in last time.”
Following the direction An Yunzhou pointed, Lin Cuiying realized the location of the cave.
"I understand, I'll go look for it."
"However, you should also be careful, there are other people looking for the treasure as well."
"who?"
"Those men in black from last time."
"You mean those men in black were there looking for treasure?"
An Yunzhou nodded after hearing Lin Cuiying's words, and then glanced at the sky.
"My benefactor, I'm off now."
Take care.
As An Yunzhou's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, a strange emotion suddenly welled up in Lin Cuiying's heart.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. Was it because An Yunzhou was leaving and she felt a little reluctant to part with him?
Lin Cuiying shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and turned to go back into the house.
At this moment, the other members of the Lin family also got up.
When they learned that An Yunzhou had left, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Over time, they developed feelings for An Yunzhou.
It's really hard to get used to his sudden departure.
"Mother, why did Uncle An leave so suddenly?" Lin Yuelan asked, looking at Lin Cuiying.
"He has something to do and needs to return to the prefectural city."
Lin Yuelan's face showed a hint of reluctance: "Uncle An is a good person, I really will miss him."
"Are you reluctant to part with the person, or with the story he told?" Lin Cuiying asked her with a smile.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yuelan said shyly, "Of course I can't bear to part with the stories he told, and Uncle An even taught my sister and me to read!"
"All you ever do is listen to stories," Lin Cuiying laughed, reaching out to tap Lin Yuelan's forehead. "How many words do you know?"
"I've learned so many words," Lin Yuelan said shyly, touching her forehead. "Mom, Uncle An's stories were really good!"
Lin Yueju, who was standing next to her, chimed in, "That's right, I can write my own name now."
"Alright, alright, when he comes again, I'll have him tell you a few more stories," Lin Cuiying said with a smile.
"Really? That's great!" Lin Yuelan exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.
The family finished breakfast chatting and laughing.
After the meal, Lin Cuiying called Lin Tiandong over and said, "Tiandong, come up the mountain with me."
"Okay." Lin Tiandong immediately stood up.
Seeing this, the two little girls wanted to go with them, but Lin Cuiying refused: "You stay at home, your uncle and I have things to do."
After saying that, she led Lin Tiandong up the mountain.
The two little girls, Lin Yueju and Lin Yuelan, watched Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong's retreating figures as they went up the mountain, their faces filled with curiosity.
"Sister, what are Mother and Uncle doing up the mountain?" Lin Yueju asked, looking at Lin Yuelan.
"I don't know either." Lin Yuelan shook her head. "Could it be that they went to pick wild fruit?"
"No way, autumn is almost over, and there are no wild fruits to pick on the mountain." Lin Yueju shook her head immediately.
"What are they doing up the mountain?" Lin Yuelan couldn't help but ask, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"I don't know either." Lin Yueju shook her head again. "Never mind them, let's go out and have some fun."
"good."
The two little girls quickly forgot about it and went out to play hand in hand.
Meanwhile, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong had already climbed halfway up the mountain.
As Lin Cuiying climbed the mountain, she summoned the system and asked An Yunzhou about the treasure he had mentioned.
