Chapter 51: Farewell

After a while, the village head drove two mule carts over.

Zhang Lao Da also arrived with a horse carriage.

The entrance of the village was crowded with cars and people.

Not only those who were leaving were here, but even those who were not leaving were crowded here to watch the excitement.

Most people were full of panic.

Seeing these families dragging their families and emptying their assets to leave, they suddenly felt that it was wrong for their families not to leave, and whether they should leave with them.

Hu Zi was being pulled by a few friends, and the friends asked, "Hu Zi, when will you come back after you leave?"

Hu Zi shook his head, "Dad didn't say, I don't know."

A little boy cried and hugged Hu Zi tightly, "I won't let you go. If you leave, no one will play with me."

Hu Zi also cried, "Wow, it's my dad who wants to leave, and I don't want to leave either."

Qian was also crying while holding her two daughters. Tao Er and Li Er in her family had already married off, and they also wanted to follow their natal family, but their in-laws refused to leave. What could they do? They came here early today to see them off.

Everyone was crying loudly when Gu Qing and Gu Erlang came over carrying the old lady.

The old lady struggled and shouted, "I won't leave, I won't leave even if I die, where are you going to carry me to!"

They really carried her, one holding her arms and the other holding her legs, and they walked to the car and asked Gu Zhang, "Dad, where is the milk?"

Gu Fei quickly got out of the car and stood by the car to open the curtain.

Gu Qing and Gu Erlang threw the old lady into the car with all their strength.

Gu Zhang shouted, "Let's go!"

Chen was still standing by the roadside saying goodbye to several friends in the village. When she heard "Let's go!", she burst into tears and held their hands, "If it doesn't rain next spring, you should hurry to the south, don't delay any longer."

Li pulled Hu Zi away from his friends, "Let's go, don't cry, wait until you grow up, come back to see them."

Li Chunhua was still crying while hugging her mother, and her mother pushed her, "Let's go, live a good life with Dalang, settle down, and bring back a message."

Everyone looked back every few steps and left the village, wiping their tears.

They had to go into the city first to meet up with Gu Sanlang, Gu's eldest sister, and Uncle Ma, and then go out of the east city gate and go up the official road.

It usually takes half an hour to get from the village to the city by horse carriage, but it takes more than that on foot.

The mule carts were full of things, so people could only rely on their two legs.

Gu Fei pulled Lanzhi. It was the first time for Lanzhi to walk such a long distance. Gu Fei had walked this way in her previous life, but her body had become weak after eight years of living in the Marquis' Mansion, and the wound on her back had not healed completely.

Before they were halfway there, Chen came over and said, "Xiao Fei, don't go. Hurry up and get in the car."

Gu Fei shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Ask my brother to put Xiaocao in the car."

Her legs were a little weak now, but she knew that she had to walk. It was thousands of miles, and this was just the beginning. She had to adapt as soon as possible.

The mule cart could not carry many people. At most, everyone took turns to rest.

Lanzhi was even worse than Gu Fei.

The delicate-skinned young lady of the Marquis' Mansion usually strolled in the garden at most. How could she walk such a long distance? In the weather in mid-September, she was sweating profusely.

After walking a few steps, she would ask Gu Fei, "How long will it take to get to the city?"

Gu Fei always said, "It's almost there, it's almost there, just hold on a little longer."

After walking for almost an hour, they finally entered the city.

Except for Gu Fei and Lan Zhi, the others didn't feel tired at all. For the country people, walking for an hour was really nothing.

When they reached the east city gate, Gu Sanlang drove a mule cart, and Gu Fei's uncle drove another one.

The two sons of the aunt's family also drove two mule carts.

Gu Qing stepped forward to replace the uncle.

Uncle Ma, carrying a package on his back, also stood by the city gate, his eyes slipping towards Gu Fei without leaving a trace.
