Chapter 305 [Continued] Returning to the Village
Aunt Lu refused, and stood at the gate of Jishi Hall with Lu Yuan and his wife, watching them get into the carriage, and then drove all the way along the long street to the gate of Hangzhou City.

Lu Fucheng told Chu Yingying that starting from Hangzhou City, he had to go through Shezhou, Xuancheng, Anqing and finally reach Tongling, which would take at least two months.

He thought for a while, and then said: "But this time, I heard that the road has been built. We don't have to detour from Shezhou, we can directly pass through Xuancheng, and the time is much shorter."

Chu Yingying nodded, she was sitting in the carriage, turned her head to look out, and saw that there were fields on both sides of the official road, and the shepherd's wheat was green.

Farmers are busy cultivating it, and it looks like tiny ants from a distance, which is quite interesting.

She hadn't traveled far for a long time. Back then, she arrived in Hangzhou in a carriage with Cui Yunhao, and she never left again.

Now, Cui Yunhao has gone to Jindu, and she is the only one left.

Thinking of this, Chu Yingying couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

Cui Yunhao has grown up, like a young eagle's wings have finally grown and flew to the sky, and his life is about to embark on a new journey.

And she, maybe in the city of Hangzhou, in this misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, will slowly finish this long life.

Chu Yingying never thought about wanting the Golden Capital in the past, and when those two words were mentioned, she would feel a wave of palpitations, followed by a huge panic.

The nightmare about that massacre and Prince Duan Geng has been haunting her for nearly ten years, and until now, she still doesn't have the courage to face it squarely.

Maybe one day, Duan Geng will die...

But when will that day come?

Chu Yingying thought endlessly, she was very distracted along the way, in Lu Fucheng's eyes, it was a sign of her homesickness.

In order to relieve her emotions, Lu Fucheng took the initiative to talk to her about the things when he was traveling far away. Gradually, Chu Yingying didn't have time to think about those things.

The carriage traveled along the way for more than ten days, and it was very smooth. Even the gods were very generous, and there was not a single drop of rain. The weather was very clear for several days, just right for the journey.

Lu Fucheng covered the bright sunlight with his hands, looked into the distance, and suddenly said: "Ying'er, Xuancheng is here."

Hearing this, Chu Yingying immediately looked out, and saw a large piece of green farmland in front of her, with towering green hills on both sides.

Over the past ten days or so, I have been rushing here, and everything I see is dark or light green, which makes people numb.

Therefore, Chu Yingying stared at the front for a long time, but didn't see anything, probably because she had been away for too long.

After entering Xuancheng, Lu Fucheng asked the people he met for directions. After walking for another three days, a small town appeared in front of him. Chu Yingying finally saw a place she thought was familiar, which was Jixi County.

On the west side of Jixi River, there is a huge old locust tree. Because it is too tall, it was struck by lightning before. People in the county thought it was going to die, but they didn't expect it to come back to life the next year.

Everyone said that the old locust tree was blessed, so no one moved it anymore, and let it grow crookedly for many years.

Now Chu Yingying can't remember who told her this, because it was too far away for her, maybe it was her father, or maybe it was her brother.

In short, when she saw the old pagoda tree with a crooked neck, its story came to mind.

Chu Yingying said, "Uncle Lu, Jixi County is ahead."

After hearing this, Lu Fucheng let out an ah, and said, "Are you here?"

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "Yes."

Lu Fucheng looked at the small town ahead, and said, "Does your family live in this town?"

"No," Chu Yingying explained, "It takes another ten miles to reach our village."

Lu Fucheng agreed, and said, "Then go to your village."

Chu Yingying shook her head and refused, "No need, Uncle Lu, I can go by myself. There are all small roads over there, and horse-drawn carriages cannot pass. You go to Tongling first, and then I can go back to Hangzhou by myself."

After hearing this, Lu Fucheng subconsciously refused: "How can this be done? Since I brought you out, I have to take you back. Besides, as a girl, how dangerous is it to go on the road alone?"

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, don't underestimate me."

Lu Fucheng still refused, Chu Yingying said again: "Uncle Lu, please rest assured, I have lived in Jixi since I was a child, and nothing will happen to me. Besides, when I return to my hometown, I have to sweep the graves of my parents and repair the house. No matter what, it will take a long time, Uncle Lu still has important things to do, how can I delay things because of me?"

Hearing this, Lu Fucheng hesitated for a moment, Chu Yingying persuaded: "This is the place where I grew up, and there are old relatives I know, Uncle Lu is at ease."

Lu Fucheng thought for a while, sighed, and said: "When I came out, your aunt told me that you have the right idea, and I can't easily persuade you. I don't believe it, but now it seems that your aunt understands you. "

Chu Yingying smiled, blinked and said, "Auntie loves me."

Lu Fucheng also shook his head with a smile, took out another small package, and said: "There are some silver coins in here, you just take it, don't reveal it, let others see it, be careful in everything. When I come back from Tongling, I will Come pick you up."

Chu Yingying thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Uncle Lu doesn't need to come. He returned to Hangzhou from Tongling and didn't pass through Xuancheng on the way. If I don't come with you this time, I'm afraid you won't make a detour to Xuancheng. Five June is the rainy season, the weather is humid, and the medicinal materials are not easy to preserve, you should go back to Hangzhou directly, don't delay on the way."

Hearing this, Lu Fucheng was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled helplessly: "You child...you can guess everything."

He looked at Chu Yingying and said, "Since Cui Yunhao came to Beijing to rush for the exam, your aunt and I have had this idea. You have something on your mind, and we don't know how to persuade you. Cui Yunhao is not here, so we came up with this idea. It’s good to let you go back to your hometown to relax.”

Chu Yingying smiled and blinked again, and said, "Uncle Lu loves me, so I naturally have to accept this kindness, and I can't let it go in vain."

While the two were talking, the carriage had already slowly entered Jixi. There were many people on both sides of the county streets who were talking or busy doing things. When they saw someone new coming, they couldn't help but feel as if they had seen something strange. He glanced over here, as if wondering what they were doing in this little Jixi.

Chu Yingying said goodbye to Lu Fucheng, then picked up her luggage, jumped out of the car, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, be careful on the road."

Lu Fucheng poked his head out, and said carefully: "You also have to be more careful, take care of everything, and remember to write back to Hangzhou if you have something to do."

Chu Yingying agreed, waved her hand, and said, "Uncle Lu is going well."

Lu Fucheng looked at her, nodded, put down the curtain, and the carriage rattled towards the end of the long street, and soon disappeared around the corner without a trace.

Chu Yingying stood for a while, looked up at the sky, it was in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly, at this moment, someone boldly came up and asked, "Where did this little brother come from?"

Because Chu Yingying was wearing men's clothes, that person didn't recognize her either.

She smiled and said, "I'm from the Chu family village. I just came back from visiting relatives in the next county."

Hearing this, the man felt that there was nothing new to inquire about, and was a little disappointed. He just casually exchanged greetings with Chu Yingying, then turned and walked away.
