Chapter 346 Going to the Snow Mountain
When Liu Zhentao was carried out by the guards, his eyes were somewhat gloomy, and he looked at Wuzhu as if he were looking at something extremely disgusting.
Wu Zhu's voice was hoarse; she could only lift one arm, the other still unable to. Her large eyes were fixed on Liu Zhentao, as if trying to bore a hole through him.
"Liu Zhentao, are you really this heartless...?"
Before she could finish speaking, a somewhat authoritative voice interrupted her accusations.
"Liu Qianrou, since your brother needs to recuperate, it would be better if he returned to the capital as soon as possible. There's a merchant caravan returning to the capital today, so you can go back with them and look after each other on the way."
Yuan Hongqu walked over from a nearby tent and stood beside Daiyu.
The Liu family affair had already wasted a lot of her time and made Daiyu feel terrible, so she changed her schedule overnight.
With so many people, the itinerary will need to be changed in many ways. Last night, Daiyu and several group leaders also discussed the new itinerary arrangements.
Liu Qianrou didn't detect Yuan Hongqu's disgust for the matter at all, and only thought that she was genuinely thinking of her brother, which was why she wanted them to return to the capital first.
“Mr. Yuan, it’s alright. My brother will stay here to recover from his injuries and we’ll go back together after the study tour. I’ll have someone keep an eye on this woman and make sure she doesn’t bother my brother again.”
Liu Qianrou was stunned. She was still planning to go on the study tour together, and she planned to leave the academy after the study tour ended.
Students like them, who are auditing classes, can leave the academy at any time.
Seeing that Liu Qianrou remained persistent, Yuan Hongqu felt a headache coming on and simply said,
"Your brother's injuries require a specific medicine from the Jia family's pharmacy after we return to the capital to fully recover. You must return to the capital as soon as possible to find Master Lian of the Jia family, as only he has this medicine."
The Jia family's pharmacy does indeed have a unique medicine that calms the nerves and aids sleep without harming the body. It is particularly effective for people like Liu Zhentao who are depressed.
“You can come to the grasslands anytime, but your brother’s illness cannot be delayed. Your family must have received the news, and they will probably send someone over soon. If you set off now, you might even meet them on the way.”
“Sister Liu, I think what Granny said makes a lot of sense. The grassland is right here, it’s not going to grow legs and run away. I heard that the grassland is much better in autumn, with fat cattle and sheep than in this season. You can come back then.”
Daiyu's eyes sparkled, as if she longed for the autumn grasslands.
However, she won't have time to come over in the fall, so there's no need to worry about Liu Qianrou actually coming and dragging her along.
Liu Qianrou was deeply moved by Daiyu's words.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance. Liu Zhentao didn't want to delay his sister's study tour because of him, but Liu Qianrou felt that Mr. Yuan and Sister Lin were absolutely right. They could go out to play anytime, but if her brother's injury got worse, it would be a lifelong matter.
Moreover, this season is not the most beautiful season on the grassland. We can come back in the fall and have a great time. We won't have to follow the study tour group with so many rules!
"Brother, let's go back now." Liu Qianrou finally made up her mind.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hongqu felt a weight lifted from her heart.
Fan Huaiqing, who suddenly arrived last night, was assigned to another post by Yuan Hongqu as soon as he got to the grassland.
Fan Huaiqing originally wanted to make some big deals on the grassland, but now he had no choice but to follow Yuan Hongqu's advice and return to the capital.
Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Yuan didn't seem to be particularly surprised by the big gift he sent last night.
His trip here was almost entirely in vain.
They were sent back just like that, and were even given the job of escorting the Liu family to the capital!
The Liu family went to pack their luggage, while Daiyu had already led Yuan Hongqu back to the yurt.
When Daiyu saw Yuan Hongqu, she noticed that Yuan's eyes were slightly dark, and knew that Yuan's old nanny must not have slept well.
Last night was already exhausting enough with all the running around, and then the Liu family pulls this stunt so early in the morning.
Daiyu held Yuan Hongqu's hand tenderly and whispered,
"Granny, let's set off a little later today, so you can rest a bit more."
Yuan Hongqu chuckled and shook her head. "Today we'll ride in a carriage."
The implication is that she went to the space to catch up on sleep, and Daiyu could cover for her.
As for Wuzhu, she was temporarily handed over to Yinduo.
Early this morning, Wu Zhu tore open a hole in Liu Zhentao's tent and sneaked inside, where she spoke to him with feigned deep affection.
She begged Liu Zhentao to stay on the grassland. If he stayed, she would marry him immediately. She was willing to live a life of herding horses and sheep with him on the grassland, like a pair of celestial lovers.
This was originally a scene that Liu Zhentao had imagined countless times when he first came to the grasslands, but after so many years, that scene has long been shattered beyond recognition.
Especially after he finally regained consciousness, he felt that he must have been possessed by a ghost in the past few years and had done something wrong that made Liu Zhentao hate him so much.
Liu Zhentao did not intend to take her to the capital, but since he knew she was afraid of going to the capital, he had no choice but to use this as leverage to threaten Wuzhu.
If Wuzhu fails to find Chen's remains before the study tour group leaves, she will have to go to the capital and become Liu Zhentao's slave.
If she finds Chen's remains when the group leaves, Liu Zhentao, out of respect for Yin Duo, will allow Wu Zhu to stay on the grassland and raise horses for the Liu family.
The Liu family hadn't even finished packing their things when the students on their study tour had already set off.
Each family left only a small number of people in the camp to guard and clean, while the rest went to the snow mountain.
After a journey of more than an hour, Yuan Hongqu originally planned to catch up on sleep in the space, but after entering, she found that she was not sleepy at all.
But since we're already here, let's do something.
I was thinking that it would be cooler at night once we got to the snow mountain.
It was already quite hot in the capital, but on the grasslands it was cool in the mornings and evenings and hot during the day, which Daiyu's body could still handle.
Today we're going to the snow mountain. Daiyu is suddenly exposed to such cold weather; I'm afraid her body won't be able to adapt.
After thinking about it, Yuan Hongqu simply made a batch of medicinal candies to prevent sudden colds and flu caused by the body's inability to adapt to the fluctuating temperatures.
The concentrated essence of pure Chinese medicine is mixed with a large amount of syrup and various fruit concentrates, and after cooling, it becomes medicinal candies of various colors.
These hard candies are shaped like fruits and are crunchy and satisfying to chew.
Seeing that there was still time, Yuan Hongqu made another batch of lollipop-shaped medicinal candies.
After finishing all the medicinal candies, Yuan Hongqu glanced at the time. They were almost at the snow mountain. She took the finished candies and left the space.
"Granny, what is this?" Daiyu looked at the box containing various colored candies without any packaging, and found it quite intriguing.
The old woman is never so careless; why isn't there even a wrapping paper?
Yuan Hongqu took an orange-yellow, citrus-flavored medicinal candy, put it in her mouth and let it slowly melt. The citrus flavor was strong, and she could hardly taste any bitterness.
"This is a medicinal candy to prevent colds and flu. You can also suck on one if you have a sore throat. Try it."
