Chapter 78 Departure
The Gu family felt really sorry for Gu Jingcheng. They were afraid that he would not be able to have a good rest due to the bumpy road, so they spent money to rent a carriage.
And because they had to leave early in the morning, Gu Feng and Gu Hai would not go to the fields today. After breakfast, they were busy helping them carry their luggage to the carriage.
"Remember to write back if you have something to do. My mother told the village chief and asked him to go to the academy every two days to see if you have written back.
And Xiaomu, you have to take good care of yourself, be more careful with Jingcheng when you are out, and don’t dare to be deceived by others."
"I know mother."
Before Gu Jingcheng could reply, she looked at Mrs. Li with tears in her eyes, feeling aggrieved and said, "I will miss my mother and brothers and sisters-in-law."
After staying in this house for so long, when she heard that she was leaving and never coming back, she was quite uncomfortable with it.
Then she thought about how kind Li and the others were to her, and how she would never feel such warmth again when she went out. She couldn't hold back her tears, and pursed her lips and said to Li.
"Mom...I can't bear to leave you."
"You are such a big girl, how can you still be so helpless? If you miss your mother, just write a letter back. Don't cry."
Mrs. Li blamed Su Xiaomu, but she still wiped her clean with her hands and patted her back like a child.
"Okay, okay, I'll have a good rest with Jingcheng later on the road, but you two have a lot to do in Fucheng."
"Um……"
She agreed humbly.
Su Xiaomu turned around and got on the carriage. Before she could get on the carriage, the village chief led many villagers towards their home.
Before people even entered the yard, they heard his urgent voice: "Is Jingcheng leaving? If not, just wait for us!"
The village chief wiped his sweat while running, and the villagers following him wrapped a bag of silver. After they stopped, they gasped for air and said to Gu Jingcheng: "This is the travel expenses that the villagers collected for you. Although the money is not a lot, it is all
Everyone’s thoughts.”
"How can I accept this from the village chief?"
Gu Jingcheng waved his hands repeatedly. He never expected that the villagers would be so enthusiastic about him.
The usually cold face seemed to have cracks at this moment, revealing a hint of embarrassment: "The elders in the family have already prepared money for me, so I don't need to worry about it."
"Hey, Jingcheng, it doesn't make sense for you to talk like this. You are the most promising young man in our village.
Now that you are going to take the exam, how can we not help you a little more? It’s just some money, we can all just chip in."
The village chief took the money from the villager's hand and put it directly into his hand, with a look that left no room for doubt: "Hurry up and collect the money. If you don't take it, you will look down on me, the village chief!"
Having said that, Gu Jingcheng had to collect money even if he didn't want to.
He took the money bag from the village chief's hand, took two steps back and bowed to the village chief respectfully, then looked at the other villagers and said: "Jingcheng will definitely remember your great kindness. If you really have a great career in the future,
, I will never forget you all.”
"Okay! What Jingcheng said is right! People in our village must be of the same mind. No one who gets rich can forget everyone!"
The village chief was very satisfied with Gu Jingcheng's attitude in speaking. He patted him on the shoulder several times.
But for some reason, Su Xiaomu always felt that the last words spoken by the village chief were meaningful, and his eyes were a bit strange.
But she didn't pay much attention. After all, she found a very interesting person among the villagers who came to see Gu Jingcheng off.
Miss Zhao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, stood in the crowd and looked at Gu Jingcheng affectionately, her eyes so soft that they were almost soaked with water.
It's such a pity that this childhood sweetheart failed to achieve enlightenment, which makes people feel so sad.
Look, if you want to see your lover off, you can't come up and speak openly. You can only quietly perform a good show of flirting with the crowd alone.
She got into the carriage first.
Not long after, Gu Jingcheng also came up. Su Xiaomu felt that her breathing was a little tight when the two of them were in such a relatively closed space, so she opened the curtain and looked outside.
Just then, I saw several children looking at the car frame as they walked away, waving pitifully.
For a moment, her bowel movements resurfaced, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"There are only two of us here now, and they can't see your reaction. You don't have to look so reluctant anymore. I won't comfort you like my mother."
Gu Jingcheng stared at her red eyes, originally wanting to comfort her, but somehow he ended up saying this.
He was slightly startled at first, but when he realized what he was doing and wanted to make some amends, Su Xiaomu responded to him unceremoniously.
"Yes, I am acting like this for you. Anyway, we are a couple and you can't cry. You are cruel, so I can't help you fill in some human touch?"
You don’t want people to say you are unreasonable and a fool who only knows how to study!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "idiot". After saying that, she closed her eyes and leaned against the soft pillow without caring.
Seeing her like this, Gu Jingcheng suddenly felt as helpless as if his fist had hit cotton.
He gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't close his eyes and pretend to be dead like her, so he could only take the book next to him and read it to calm down his anger.
It takes three days to travel from their village to Fucheng. Although the carriage is wider than the ox-cart, it is far less comfortable than the ox-cart. After sitting down this day, Su Xiaomu was shaken so much that he almost fell apart.
However, Gu Jingcheng Niu didn't lean even a little bit along the way, and he was able to take out a pen and paper to write an article at noon.
While silently complaining about him, she quietly put her hands into her clothes and rubbed her fragile waist.
After finally staying up until night, she wanted to stay in a town she was passing by. She let out a long sigh and jumped out of the carriage eagerly.
Then she immediately straightened her waist and twisted with satisfaction: "If I sit down in this carriage again, I will die."
Su Xiaomu originally just wanted to complain to Gu Jingcheng, but she didn't know how arousing her actions at the moment were.
The soft and waxy voice had a hint of coquettishness at this time, and the pretty face was pink and pink after being sultry in the carriage for a long time, just like a peach in summer, which made Gu Jingcheng have the urge to take a bite.
After he realized what he was thinking, he pursed his lips in embarrassment and looked away.
Su Xiaomu didn't get a reply from him for a long time, and she puffed her cheeks at him dissatisfied: "What, you were also knocked unconscious and can't speak?"
"Not dizzy."
He said a few words and pulled the carriage forward: "Why are you still hanging around? Do you want to spend the night in the wilderness?"
Indifferent, desolate, and inhumane!
She followed him and cursed with her face!
This town is called Li Town. The reason why it takes its surname is because it was originally called Lijia Village.
Most of the people were surnamed Li. Later, when the court was building roads, it used this place as a stronghold. Over time, the place developed and expanded into a town.
Of course, these were all what Su Xiaomu heard from the inn boy who fed their horses.
