Chapter 664: 664 Depart
The speed of Wei Guangxiang and the others was quite fast. By the time it got dark, and they couldn’t see anymore, they had already brought back several loads of firewood. By tomorrow morning, they should be able to bring all of it back.
At night, the two girls lay on the bed, "Yuanyuan, is there something important you’re going to the Capital for?"
"Mm, my former leader has some trouble, so I’m going over to take a look."
"Hehe, Su Yuanyuan, I really feel so lucky to have met you in this lifetime."
Why has this girl brought up this topic again?
"Being your friend is lucky too. You’re willing to do things you don’t like for a former leader.
So if any other friend were in danger or had difficulties, you’d definitely help too, which is why I say I’m lucky to have you."
"I’m not omnipotent either." This is speechless, as if saying I’m like an Immortal. It sounds like I’m capable of anything.
"I know, it’s a matter of the heart, alright?
Yuanyuan, when you get to the Capital, if you need anything from my brother and me, just say it. We all consider you a friend. We hope you consider us friends too.
If we’re friends, there’s no need for formality."
"Alright, I got it. I definitely will. I have a house in the Capital, you can just stay at my place."
"That’s for sure, I wouldn’t be polite with you anyway."
"Alright, let’s rest. We still have to continue making pancakes tomorrow. Take more, so it won’t be too uncomfortable on the road."
The next day, the task of cooking was left to Zeng Hongling and Wan Zhongming. Su Yuanyuan needed to see if the ewe was suitable for life in the mountains.
So she climbed the mountain again, loudly calling for the leopard.
Wei Guangxiang and Zeng Yixin, who were tidying up the firewood on the mountain, exchanged a glance. Although they didn’t say anything, they were both thinking about Su Yuanyuan’s affinity with animals.
This is absolutely illogical; an animal is just an animal. This can only indicate that Su Yuanyuan possesses a certain affinity for animals.
Su Yuanyuan sat on the same rock as yesterday. Today, she waited longer than yesterday, about half an hour, before a leopard and a ewe came over.
The ewe rushed directly into Su Yuanyuan’s arms upon seeing her. This place was truly terrifying. The leopard also lay down beside Su Yuanyuan.
Seeing this situation, what is there to not understand?
Su Yuanyuan patted the leopard’s head, "Thank you. My friend probably isn’t suited for mountain living, right? Let’s do this, I’ll take it to live at the Daoist Temple.
I don’t want to trouble you too much. Thank you for taking care of it yesterday."
She took out a cup of water to give to the leopard. Only then did she take the ewe down the mountain.
All the way down, the ewe stuck closely by Su Yuanyuan’s side.
"You’ll live at the Daoist Temple. There’s someone there. You must wait patiently for me to come see you. I can’t take you with me from now on, but if possible, I’ll come stay for a while.
Don’t be sad, I hope you can live freely outside."
The ewe let out a bleat. It couldn’t understand why it couldn’t go together.
They met the two people carrying firewood halfway.
The three people and one sheep went down the mountain together. At the Daoist Temple, Zhan Yunzhao circled around the ewe.
"Young friend, this sheep has a spiritual energy. I’ll definitely instruct my junior brother to take good care of it."
"Thank you, Daoist Zhan." She patted the sheep’s head, and the ewe obediently laid down by the wall.
By around ten o’clock, Wei Guangxiang and the others had already brought all the firewood back. After lunch, they each rested, and in the afternoon, the two of them helped Wan Zhongming build the sheep pen.
Everyone’s luggage was ready. By around four in the afternoon, they finished dinner, and the group of five went down the mountain.
Zhan Yunzhao was somewhat excited. He had never left the town before when descending the mountain; this time, he was directly taking a train to the Capital.
After descending the mountain, he turned back and looked in the direction of the Daoist Temple for quite a while.
The other four didn’t disturb him and just waited on the side.
"Everyone, let’s go."
"Daoist Zhan, you’ll definitely be able to return in the future," Zeng Hongling said softly.
"Yes, I know. I will definitely come back. This is my first time traveling far in my life."
The five arrived at the train station a little after seven. The waiting hall was very rudimentary. Moreover, there weren’t many people traveling at night.
The five didn’t bring much luggage, but they had a bag full of food. After all, the five of them would be on the train for nearly a month.
The wait was long. None of the five wanted to talk outside; mainly, they all felt the atmosphere was very tense. In just a short while, two groups of people had come by.
Their four introduction letters had no issues, and Zhan Yunzhao’s was arranged by a leader he had helped before, which Wei Guangxiang retrieved yesterday.
There wasn’t an issue, but every time there was a check, it was extremely annoying.
They had already agreed that Wei Guangxiang would go to another carriage by himself.
This was a necessary measure because Zhan Yunzhao was entering the world, fearing he might get deceived by others, so Wei Guangxiang had to go out.
Once on the train, there were indeed few people, especially in the sleeper carriage, so it wasn’t particularly inconvenient.
All five took their dry food to the dining car, buying porridge and vegetables.
Su Yuanyuan was actually quite anxious, not knowing how Zeng Zhenqing was doing. But it’s not something that can be rushed.
No matter what, there shouldn’t be any life-threatening situation.
Last time, the person responsible for the major leader’s rescue was Zeng Zhenqing, and Su Yuanyuan felt someone must be setting it up.
She didn’t know what she could do once back, but she definitely needed to meet the major leader.
Just not sure if she should meet Zhang Chunsheng first. He should know a lot more.
The thing Su Yuanyuan dislikes the most is this. She’s quite a direct person and really can’t handle scheming things. However, the caught assistant she definitely needs to see, as only she could figure out who is behind all this trying to harm people.
The train days were very monotonous, but in the daytime, Zeng Yixin and Zhan Yunzhao would go visit Wei Guangxiang because he was the only one there.
The two learned divination from Zhan Yunzhao; they had also studied the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams since they were young, so it wasn’t hard to learn.
"Yuanyuan, do you think they might become fortune tellers in the future?"
"Is that how you see Daoist Zhan?" Su Yuanyuan asked the girl with a smile.
Mainly because she knew she was very excited to stay with Zhan Yunzhao, but when he wasn’t around, she’d say something like this.
"Yeah, but what’s wrong with being a fortune teller? I don’t think there’s anything wrong. But I’m just thinking, if two young people tell fortunes, people might not believe them, right?"
"Do you think they would make a living by fortune telling?" Su Yuanyuan asked Zeng Hongling in return.
