Chapter 404: 403, ng Family Village Chapter 404: 403, ng Family Village Zhang Qi and the others left the guesthouse, waiting at the bus stop for Luo Shu and Wang Fei to arrive.
“Why aren’t they here yet? Nothing bad happened, right?” Chen Xiaong checked the ti and expressed her concern.
“Of course not, don’t worry about it,” Xiao Yan was also a bit anxious inside. After all, the journey from Jinchen to Northern Xiang was not close, and both Luo Shu and Wang Fei were young girls, so it was only natural to be worried.
“I haven’t seen Luo Shu for so long, I really miss her!” Liu ngyao exclaid.
“That girl disappeared for so long, I heard she went traveling with her Guard mber brother. She really is a forgetful friend; not even letting us know before leaving, had us worried for nothing for half a year,” Zhang Qi complained. She had spoken to Wang Fei over the phone yesterday when she set off and had found out about Luo Shu’s situation from her.
“When we see her, we must thoroughly interrogate her. Do you think she might have… eh?” Chen Xiaong said with a mischievous smile, making a ‘together’ gesture with her fingers.
“It’s very possible, oh! Alone together, dry wood and a fierce fire, it’s hard to avoid a spark flying,” Zhang Qi chuckled wickedly.
“Are you guys talking behind my back?” Luo Shu’s voice ca from nearby, tinged with a hint of amusent.
“Luo Shu, I’ve missed you so much!” Chen Xiaong hurried over to Luo Shu at a quick pace, embracing her. She pretended she hadn’t just been the one speaking ill.
Luo Shu patted Chen Xiaong with a smile and looked at everyone, “Sorry! I made you worry!”
“Where have you been fooling around with your Guard mber brother this half a year? Spill the beans!”
“Confess and you will be shown leniency; resist and it will be strict.”
“Are you sure you want to talk about it here?” Luo Shu swept her gaze over the crowd of onlookers with a smile.
“We’ll let you off for now, but you must give us a full account when we get to Yujuan’s ho, otherwise, we will extract a confession by force.”
“You went out and enjoyed yourself while we worried for so long.”
“Isn’t my apology enough? I hereby ask for forgiveness from all my little masters,” Luo Shu said playfully, bowing her hands in front of everyone.
“That’s more like it!”
“I’ll forgive you this ti, being the magnanimous person that I am.”
“Let this not happen again!”
“The bus is coming, let’s get on,” Wang Fei said with a smile, seeing the bus with ‘Route 29’ approaching from afar.
Everyone quickly picked up their luggage, waiting for the bus to co to a stop.
The speed of the bus slowed down and it stopped at the bus platform.
Luo Shu and the others waited until the bus doors opened and they walked on, one after another.
There weren’t many people on the bus, and just as they settled into their seats, the ticket collector ca over, “One di for Dragon Pond Town, fifteen cents for Ma Family Village, twenty cents for ng Family Village.”
Zhang Qi took out a yuan and handed it to the ticket collector, “We’re going to ng Family Village.”
The ticket collector took the money, tore off six bus tickets, and handed them to Zhang Qi, then moved on to sell tickets to other places.
The ride started off smooth, but when they entered Ma Family Village, the road beca bumpy, jolting the passengers, giving them the sensation of riding in a palanquin.
“I can’t take it anymore; I feel like throwing up!” Chen Xiaong covered her mouth with a pale complexion.
“ too,” Zhang Qi’s face also turned unpleasant.
The other girls were likewise struggling to keep silent, all holding back. They were city girls from well-off families, unaccustod to this kind of discomfort.
Luo Shu took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and handed it to Wang Fei beside her. After Wang Fei took one pill, Luo Shu passed it to the others. She had forgotten that they were not like her; otherwise, she would have given them a pill at the start.
“You really do live up to the na of a divine doctor; I don’t feel anything anymore.”
“Instantly feels so much lighter!”
“How did I forget I had a divine doctor like you? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to suffer this long.” After taking the dicine, everyone started to feel better, the feeling of upheaval and nausea completely disappeared.
“I forgot to ask you too.” Luo Shu chuckled and put the porcelain bottle that everyone handed back into her pocket.
As the road got worse, the bus jostled more and more, but not only did everyone no longer feel like vomiting, they actually found fun in it.
After more than two hours, the bus finally ca to a stop.
Everyone got off the bus with their luggage in tow. Although they no longer felt sick and nauseous, they were still completely unfamiliar with the place, and as soon as they disembarked, they began to feel dizzy.
“We can’t even see a village here—where should we go?”
“Didn’t Yujuan say she would co to pick us up? How co we don’t see her?”
“We should wait a while; it would be troubleso if we took the wrong way.”
Luo Shu drew back her gaze and said to the others, “Follow , I know where to go.” She had already used her Divine Sense to locate ng Yujuan, who was hurrying over here. If they didn’t go to et her, they would have to wait at least half an hour.
The others nodded, although sowhat surprised that Luo Shu knew where to go, they also knew she was not the type to joke about such things.
Luo Shu led the group forward, and after about fifteen minutes, they saw ng Yujuan hurrying towards them.
“Sorry! Sothing held up. How did you know to walk in the direction of my ho?” ng Yujuan looked at them in surprise. The ng Family Village wasn’t large, but the roads were nurous; without knowing the place well, it was virtually impossible to find the right direction.
“Luo Shu said so, she said she knows your ho.” Zhang Qi said.
ng Yujuan looked at Luo Shu in amazent, while Luo Shu smiled and said, “I’ve been here once.”
“No wonder!” the others suddenly exclaid.
Following ng Yujuan’s lead, they headed toward the ng Family Village, and after walking for a good half hour, they finally saw the village.
“Yujuan, your ho is so far away!”
“Do you have to walk this long every ti you co back?”
ng Yujuan nodded with a smile, “I’m used to it.” She went to school in town and always walked there, taking an hour and a half each ti to reach school.
“I suddenly feel so fortunate,” Chen Xiaong said with deep emotion. She had never walked such a distance her entire life; today was a truly unprecedented first for her.
The others nodded in agreent. They only walked long distances when they went shopping.
“It’s a good thing we have the bracelets Luo Shu gave us; otherwise, I would have suffered from heatstroke along the way.”
“Even without motion sickness, this heat would have done in.”
As they talked, they had already walked into the village.
Many villagers stood at their doorways, pointing and gesturing at them, as if they were seeing sothing novel.
“Yujuan, these are your classmates, right? They’re all so pretty.”
“Are they all engaged? Want auntie to set you up? The young n in our village are pretty good.”
“Sister-in-law Li Er, they are all college students; why would they fancy our village lads?”
“Right you are! Look at Yujuan now, she’s made sothing of herself, even her beau is from the city. Just think about how Yujuan used to look, tsk tsk tsk!”
