BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1197: Set Off
Xue Dafu and the others didn’t care about it at all. They even said a lot of comforting words to let Village Chief Zhu not feel embarrassed. When they told him their plans back then that it was supposed to be like this, Village Chief Zhu felt much better.
Originally, Xue Dafu wanted Xue Yifu to hitch a carriage and send Village Chief Zhu back. However, Village Chief Zhu said that an ox cart from their village had followed them and was waiting at the village entrance. He did not need a ride back. Xue Dafu and the others nodded their heads and said their goodbyes.
In reality, Village Chief Zhu had walked over. There was no ox cart waiting for him at all. It was just that the farmers were simple and honest and did not want to trouble Xue Dafu and the others.
Village Chief Zhu did not expect to meet Jiang Yue and the others not long after leaving Locust Village.
The moment Jiang Yue and the others saw Village Chief Zhu, they knew that Village Chief Zhu was reluctant to spend money to take an ox cart. He planned to walk back, but accidentally saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan quickly get down from the carriage. Xue Sifu, who was riding a horse, also quickly got down. Xue Erfu, who was driving the carriage, had already stopped the carriage. The four of them insisted that Village Chief Zhu get on the carriage. Then, Xue Erfu drove the carriage back to Zhu Family Village.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walked home.
The two children were walking, so Xue Sifu did not ride his horse either. He led his horse by its rein and walked together.
When he returned home, Xue Sifu lied to his family as he had promised.
The three smartest people in the family were going to travel far away to see if there were any suitable shops to buy.
Because no one in their family had ever traveled far away, they would go together instead of going alone.
They could reach their destination by riding a horse for half a day. In fact, it was not as far as they thought. When Xue Dafu and the others heard this, they all felt a little worried.
However, considering that the three of them were the smartest ones in the family, they felt more at ease if they went there to buy a shop together. They felt that there would not be any mistakes and there would be a lower risk of buying the shop for nothing. Moreover, the weather was starting to cool down. The two children had never traveled to far places. It was good to take this opportunity to experience new things and have some fun. Moreover, the two children would not be going alone. They would be setting off with Sifu. Xue Sifu had always been reliable and had always done a great job at taking care of the two children. Therefore, Xue Dafu and the others had no objections and agreed.
…
The next day, Xue Sifu drove the carriage, setting off on their journey. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were sitting in the carriage. Under the gaze of Xue Dafu and the other family members, they excitedly waved as they got further and further away from Locust Village.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were set to go to Changyu. They were afraid that something would happen to their family, so they asked Shao Zhongxi to continue living in the old house in the village to prevent any accidents. Therefore, Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin did not go to Changyu with them.
Xue Dafu and the others only turned around and returned home from the village entrance when the carriage was out of sight.
It was also at this moment that Xue Sifu stopped the carriage when he saw that his family could no longer see them and that there were no villagers or passersby around.
The secret guards who were hiding behind the trees quickly brought out three horses.
Xue Sifu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue rode a horse.
Ever since Xue Yan started practicing martial arts with Shao Zhongxi, he would pretend to learn how to ride a horse from time to time. His family had long known that he knew how to ride a horse. Therefore, Xue Sifu was not surprised that they knew how to ride a horse.
Xue Sifu also knew that this Jiang Yue was not the Jiang Yue from the past. She had changed. Since Jiang Yue comfortably got on the horse and started riding it, he did not think much of it.
However, the saddle was too big for Jiang Yue. It was difficult for her to exert strength on the horse because she was too small.
