Xu Yanzhu wanted to speak again after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, but Dong Shu opened her mouth first: ”Yanzhu, if we continue to stay here, Mother will also worry.”

”He is about the same height as the Third Uncle, wearing a green robe and a square scarf. He looks like a scholar, but from the looks of it, he should be practicing martial arts.” Xu Yanzhu said as she recalled the figure she saw earlier.

For some reason, when she saw his profile, she felt that he looked familiar, but when she thought about it carefully, what she was most familiar with were his eyes. The way he looked at her was what she was most familiar with.

Xu Yanzhu tried hard to recall where she had seen this expression before, but she was unable to do so even after thinking for a long time.

After hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, many people here wanted to dress up like this, but looking at the stubborn look in Yanzhu's eyes, he could only sigh, and then arrange for everyone to split up and search for him. No matter if they could find him or not, they would have to meet up at the place where their Mule Cart stopped in half an hour.

Although Xu Yanzhu still wanted to look for a while longer, she understood that it was not easy for the Third Uncle to make concessions.

She only hoped to find that person within half an hour.

However, the result was destined to disappoint her.

Xu Yanzhu was dragged by Dong Shu to the side of the Mule Cart, because she was unwilling to get on the Mule Cart and leave.

She looked at the gradually dispersing streets, and choked with emotions as she said to Dong Shu: ”Third Aunt, I have a feeling that if I don't find that person today, he'll leave just like that. I'll regret it for the rest of my life.”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu also had an extremely bad feeling in her heart.

”But we have really searched for Yanzhu. Maybe she has already left, don't be too sad.” After Dong Shu finished speaking, he sighed and said, ”Unfortunately, you still haven't recalled who that person was.”

If she could think of who that person was, Dong Shu believed that her husband would definitely help Xu Yanzhu find him.

After hearing what Dong Shu said, Xu Yanzhu did not say anything, she only looked at the street where the lanterns were gradually being taken, laughed desolately, and then went into the Mule Cart s without looking back.

After Xu Yanzhu entered the Mule Cart s, Xu Shiqiu supported Dong Shu to another Mule Cart and sat down.

Just as Xu Shiqiu followed Dong Shu and was about to get into the Mule Cart s, he suddenly felt a line of sight land on him.

After sensing the gaze, he subconsciously looked over.

But as he had expected, when he looked there was no one there.

With regards to this matter, Xu Shiqiu did not tell anyone. After he sat on the Mule Cart, he started to think about who this person was.

That look just now didn't have any killing intent or any aggression, it was only the gaze that sized him up.

But it was this gaze that made him think that Xu Yanzhu might have really seen someone she knew.

However, he also didn't understand. If he was really an old friend of Xu Family, why wouldn't he want to see them?

Because of the matter of the Heaven s Lamp, Xu Yanzhu had been listless for the past few days after returning home.

Old Madame Xu did not know about all these, she only thought that Xu Yanzhu was unhappy that she was about to leave home and go to the capital.

Xu Yanzhu also knew that she couldn't tell her grandmother about this, so when Old Madame Xu guessed that she was not happy to leave, she didn't refute her.

”Yanzhu, don't be sad, I have already written a letter to your aunt. When you arrive at the capital, your aunt will take care of you.”

Old Madame Xu was worried about Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang, so she had already written a letter to Xu Nuanwen.

After Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she kept the previous expression on his face and looked at her: ”Grandmother, Yanzhu has troubled you again.”

”Sigh, don't say such words. Grandmother is willing to worry about you.” Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Yanzhu, she touched her head and continued: ”Yanzhu, Grandmother cannot watch you on the road ahead, you must take this path yourself. If you meet a tiger blocking the road or a thorn on the way, don't be afraid. Just swing your blade and if something happens, you will have your grandma protecting you. ”

It wasn't the first time Xu Yanzhu had heard the Old Madame Xu say such words, but today, when she heard those words, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

”Grandmother, Yanzhu is not by your side. You must take care of your body and wait for Yanzhu to come back and see you.”

”Good, good, good. Grandmother will wait for Yanzhu to come back and see me.” Old Madame Xu said happily after hearing what Xu Yanzhu had said.

However, she knew in her heart that a married woman was like water poured over them. Unless she returned to the capital, it would be extremely difficult to meet Yanzhu in the future.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she also knew that his grandmother knew that it would be extremely difficult for her to come back after this trip.

However, in her heart, she still hoped that one day, she would be able to return to her grandmother's side.

Xu Yanzhu left the Xiahe Village on the 20th of August.

The day was bright and sunny, and the autumn sun was not as hot as it was in summer. It was warm and comfortable as it shone on one's body.

Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu and her family and Xu Feng's eldest son along with him as they left the place.

Xu Yanzhu did not cry, she only had a smile on her face after the convoy left the Xiahe Village, and then she turned to Cui Hua and asked: ”Cui Hua, do you think we will one day return?”

”Of course!”

Hearing Cui Hua's words, Xu Yanzhu did not speak, she only smiled at her.

”If one day I don't exist, you must bring me back, Cui Hua!”
