Chapter 51: Farewell

After a while, the village chief’s family drove over with two mule carts.

Zhang Laoda also arrived with his carriage.

The entrance to the village was crowded with carts and people.

Not only those people who wanted to leave but even those who were not leaving were present to watch the fun.

Most people were anxious.

Seeing that these families were leaving with their whole families, they suddenly felt that they had done something wrong by not leaving, and whether they should leave with them.

Huzi was being pulled by several friends. One of his friends asked: “Huzi, when will you come back after you leave?”

Huzi shook his head: “Dad didn’t tell me, I don’t know.”

A little boy cried and hugged Huzi tightly: “I won’t let you go. If you leave, no one will play with me.”

Huzi also cried, “Wuwuwu. I don’t want to leave either, but my dad is leaving.”

Mrs. Qian was also holding her two daughters and crying. Her daughters, Tao’er and Li’er were already married. They wanted to go with their parents, but their parents-in-law refused to leave. What could they do? They could only come here early to see them off.

While everyone was crying, Gu Qing and Gu Erlang came over carrying the old lady.

The old lady struggled and shouted: “I won’t leave, I won’t leave, even if I die. Where are you going to carry me!”

She was being carried. One person held her arms while the other held her legs. The two of them walked to the carriage and asked Gu Zhang: “Dad, where should we put grandmother?”

Gu Fei quickly got up and opened the curtain.

Gu Qing and Gu Erlang threw the old lady into the carriage with all their strength.

Gu Zhang shouted at this time: “Let’s go!”

Mrs. Chen was still standing on the roadside saying goodbye to several of her best friends in the village. As soon as she heard “Let’s go!” she burst into tears. She held her friend’s hands and said: “If it doesn’t rain the next spring, you should hurry up and come to the south. Don’t delay any longer.”

Mrs. Li pulled Huzi away from his friends and said: “Let’s go, don’t cry. When you grow up, you can come back to see them.”

Li Chunhua was still crying while hugging her mother. Her mother pushed her and said: “You go and live a good life with Dalang. After you settle down, you can send us a message.”

Everyone turned around, wiped away their tears, and left the entrance of the village.

They need to go to the city first to meet up with Gu Sanlang, the Eldest Sister of the Gu Family, and Uncle Ma, and then go out of the east city gate and go to Shangguan Road.

From the village to the city, it usually takes half an hour in a carriage and more than an hour by walking.

The mule carts were full of things, and the people could only walk with their two legs.

Gu Fei pulled Lanzhi. This was the first time Lanzhi to walked such a long way. Gu Fei walked so much in her previous life, but her current body was weak. After being raised in the Marquis Mansion for eight years, she had injuries on her back, and they were not fully healed yet.

Before they could travel several steps, Mrs. Chen came over and said: “Xiao Fei, don’t walk. Get in the car quickly.”

Gu Fei shook her head and said: “Mom, I’m fine. Ask your eldest brother to put Xiao Cao in the carriage.”

Her walking was now a little unstable, but she knew that she had to walk. They have to travel thousands of miles away. This was just the beginning, and she had to adapt as soon as possible.

The mule carriage cannot carry many people. At best, they could take turns to go up and rest.

Lanzhi was even worse than Gu Fei.

The tender-skinned young lady from the Hou family usually only wanders around in the garden. After walking such a long distance, under the weather in mid-September, she was covered with sweat all over her body.

She staggered a few steps before she could ask Gu Fei: “How much longer until we get to the city?”

Gu Fei always said: “Soon, very soon, hold on a little longer.”

After walking for almost an hour, they finally entered the city.

Except for Gu Fei and Lanzhi, the others didn’t feel tired at all. For country people, walking for an hour was nothing.

At the east city gate, Gu Sanlang was driving a mule carriage, and Gu Fei’s uncle was driving another one.

The two sons of her uncle’s family were driving two mule carts.

Gu Qing stepped forward and replaced his eldest uncle.

Uncle Ma, carrying a package on his back, was also standing by the city gate, glancing towards Gu Fei without leaving a trace.
