Chapter 844: Chapter 843: Setting Out Together
After finishing the al, the dining table was cleared away, a maid served tea, and the few people each held a cup, sitting by the table and talking.
“This place is only five days’ journey from Changan City. After going through two major incidents in a row, we also need to regroup a bit. Besides, everyone is exhausted. I was thinking of resting for two days before setting off again.” Ah Jiu looked at Jin Yu and said, “What do you think?”
“I don’t really mind, but my younger sister is currently bedridden with illness, and her body probably can’t endure the bumps for a while. To avoid delaying your journey, why don’t you go ahead? I’ll leave once my sister is a bit better.” Jin Yu had already considered this issue.
Having gone through so much, he already understood very well that he and his sister were a burden. How could he bear to beco a burden to others again? He didn’t have the face to ask others to wait.
This ti out, most of his people were gone. Now, the only ones left by his side were Uncle Wang and a servant, while all of his sister’s people were gone.
Ah Jiu furrowed her brow.
“Let
say sothing.” Wufu said, “Jin Yu, I think it would be better for you to travel with us.”
Jin Yu looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
“You and your sister, one is injured and the other is ill. Your injury is not too bad. Xiao Bai’s dicine is excellent, and after stitching, it will heal quickly. But as for Jin Lan’s illness, she was sick once before and didn’t fully recuperate before going out to sea. She suffered a great ordeal at sea, which hard her both physically and ntally. Let
be frank: she won’t recover anyti soon.”
Jin Yu’s face turned sowhat grim upon hearing this.
“Physical recovery might take ti, but the psychological aspects are harder to heal. Waiting for her to fully recover, who knows when that will be. You can’t just wait indefinitely. Moreover, this is just a small county; without friends or relations, how would you care for each other? Not to ntion, there’s a stepmother eyeing you covetously behind you.” Wufu continued, “I suppose your stepmother already knows that you siblings escaped from Gobi Beach, and since this plot failed, might she have another one?”
Hearing this, Jin Yu’s expression turned ashen.
“I’m not being suspicious, but if it were , I would certainly take advantage of your illness to take your life, especially if I knew you were here, it would be easier to make a move.” Wufu said, “So, I think it’s better for you to travel with us, at least there’s soone to look out for each other, right?”
“I’m just afraid of delaying you all…”
“We’re not pressed for ti.” Wufu interrupted him and said, “Besides, traveling with us, having Bai Xiaobai around, ans you and Jin Lan won’t be without a doctor. Once you reach Changan, you can visit your aunt, having relatives around will be comforting for Jin Lan and beneficial for her recovery. After all, having family around is better than being alone with no support, right? Moreover, you are a man, which cos with many inconveniences. Your aunt, on the other hand, would be different. If there are cousins, it would be even better.”
Jin Yu remained silent, pondered for a mont, and knew Wufu’s words made sense.
He looked at Ah Jiu, who nodded and said, “I agree with Wufu. It’s better to travel together.”
“Exactly. With more people, are you still worried no one will take good care of your sister along the way? At worst, the carriage can go a little slower.” Yan Er also said.
At this point, if Jin Yu refused again, it would be ungrateful.
“In that case, I’ll trouble you, Ninth Master!” Jin Yu stood up and bowed.
