Chapter 217 Interesting Stories of the Return Journey
In the direction from Nanshan Town to Huanling City.
Several people were hurrying along on horseback on a main road.
The scorching sun beat down relentlessly on them.
Their clothes were soaked with sweat and clung tightly to their backs.
Two horse-drawn carriages followed behind them.
The wheels rolled with difficulty on the bumpy road.
It makes a creaking sound.
It seemed to be telling the story of the hardships of the journey.
"Hey Shanzi, why did your wife come along too?"
"If they keep going at this speed, we won't be able to catch up with them."
A little girl said to a man next to her.
The little girl's face was flushed red from the sun, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness in the face of the hot weather.
Upon hearing this, Shanzi gave a helpless, bitter smile.
These past two days, whenever Shui'er sees Cai Yao'er, she chatters away, calling her "sister-in-law."
But he and Yao'er are not married yet.
Every time I hear Shui'er call out like that.
He felt extremely embarrassed.
What frustrated him even more was...
Yao'er heard Shui'er call out like that.
He even looked delighted.
There was absolutely no intention to correct it.
This made Shanzi feel both sweet and somewhat at a loss.
"Shui'er, how many times have I told you?"
"Yao'er and I aren't married yet, so please don't keep calling her that."
Shanzi explained patiently, a slight blush rising on her face.
At this moment, Afu chimed in.
"Hey, it was bound to happen sooner or later."
Shanzi, don't be shy.
You and Yao'er are a perfect match.
A match made in heaven.
Getting married is just a matter of time.
As Afu spoke, a sly smile appeared on his face, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.
Shanzi shook his head helplessly, before he could even respond.
Afu continued, "When we return to Phantom Spirit City this time..."
We'll have the village elders propose marriage to Uncle Cai on your behalf, and then we'll get the wedding done as soon as possible.
At that time.
We need to have a good time and drink to our hearts' content.
After saying that, Afu burst into laughter.
The hearty laughter echoed in the air, infecting the companions beside him.
Everyone laughed along.
In a tense atmosphere of rushing to get somewhere.
It added a touch of ease and joy.
Inside the carriage behind them.
Li Ling'er held young Li Honglin in her arms.
My ears listened curiously to the laughter outside.
The carriage was relatively cool.
But a stuffy, oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.
Li Ling'er's cheeks were rosy.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Sister Yao'er, I heard Brother Afu and the others talking about it yesterday."
It seems like when I go back this time, I'll be proposing marriage to Uncle Cai.
Li Ling'er leaned closer to Cai Yao'er and whispered.
His eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yao'er's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
It looked as if it could drip blood.
She gently tapped Li Ling'er's head.
He pretended to be angry and said, "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"
You can't just say things like that; it would be so embarrassing if someone heard it.
Although Cai Yao'er said that.
But her heart was pounding like a little rabbit's, filled with both shyness and anticipation.
When Li Honglin heard the word "marriage," his eyes lit up, and his mind was filled with images of delicious food.
He asked in a childish voice, "Sister Yao'er, are you married?"
Does this mean I can eat candy now?
Little Honglin's face was beaming with an innocent smile, and a trace of drool clung to the corner of his mouth.
It's so funny it makes you want to laugh.
Upon hearing Xiao Honglin's words, Cai Yao'er lost her earlier shyness.
She answered Xiao Honglin's question with a smile.
"When you get married, of course there will be delicious food."
Not only are there candies, but also lots and lots of other things you like to eat.
Cai Yao'er patted Xiao Honglin's head.
His eyes were full of tenderness and doting affection.
Li Ling'er, meanwhile, pretended to be serious and lectured Li Honglin.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat all day long."
Doesn't Big Head Brother usually give you candy?
All you ever think about is food; you never help your sister with anything.
As Li Ling'er spoke, she gently flicked Li Honglin's nose.
But his face held an undisguised smile.
The carriage was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
This created an interesting contrast with the tense atmosphere of people rushing around outside.
Sunlight streamed into the car through the gaps in the windows.
They formed beams of golden light.
Dust particles danced in the beam of light.
It was as if they were also sharing in this warm and joyful moment.
The group continued their journey towards the City of Illusions along this long road.
As time went by, the sun gradually slanted westward, and a magnificent sunset appeared on the horizon.
King Ling's army took a short rest on an open grassland.
Everyone dismounted and stretched their tired bodies.
King Ling stood on a high ground, gazing at the distant horizon, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
This time, we returned to the City of Illusions.
It was more than just a simple trip.
They also shoulder significant responsibilities and missions.
He learned about it from Daya and Xiaoyue.
It is already known that General Yue's lifespan has truly come to an end.
I just don't know if I can hold out until they return.
Meanwhile, Shanzi and his group were in Nanshan Town.
They stopped under the shade of a tree.
They took out some dry food and water and ate a simple meal.
Shanzi looked at Cai Yao'er, his heart filled with tenderness and concern.
Sunlight filters through the dappled leaves, casting patches of golden light.
The maid, Xiaodie, moved with light, graceful steps.
She came to Shanzi and the others carrying a plate of pastries.
She placed the snacks on the grass.
"Brother Shanzi, come and have some pastries. You must be tired from your journey."
The sound was like a nightingale singing in a valley, clear and melodious.
At this moment, Cai Yao'er led Li Ling'er and the others slowly over.
Cai Yao'er looked at Shui'er, Xiao He, and A Fu, who had just traveled all day and seemed extremely tired.
She asked with concern, "Afu, Shui'er, Xiaohe, are you all exhausted from traveling so far?"
Shui'er perked up immediately upon hearing Cai Yao'er's voice.
He skipped and hopped to her side like a happy little deer and hugged Cai Yao'er affectionately.
He nuzzled his head against her body, rubbing it against her affectionately.
"Sister-in-law, you smell so good."
Cai Yao'er was originally a wealthy young lady.
He was pampered from a young age and is well-educated and reasonable.
She naturally exudes a faint, elegant body fragrance.
Hearing Shui'er's straightforward praise...
A blush immediately spread across her fair cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Xiao He smiled and chimed in.
"Of course, my sister-in-law is a rich girl from a wealthy family."
Unlike us, who all grew up in the countryside.
My sister-in-law is definitely prettier and more beautiful than us.
Cai Yao'er gently tapped Xiao He's forehead.
She scolded playfully, "Alright, alright, you two just know how to make fun of me."
Shui'er quickly raised her head and said earnestly, "We don't have any."
My sister-in-law is naturally beautiful.
She's just as good as Sister Yan Yan!
Upon hearing Shui'er's words, a hint of curiosity flashed in Cai Yao'er's eyes.
She asked, "Oh, Shui'er, who is this Sister Yan Yan you're talking about?"
Ah Fu explained with a smile.
"Yan Yan is a girl we met on the road."
She is lively and active, and also innocent and cute.
Like a child who hasn't grown up.
Hearing Afu praising another woman like that, Li Ling'er, who was standing nearby, immediately became interested.
she thought to herself.
There's actually someone whose beauty can rival that of Sister Yao'er.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Brother Afu, do you like that Miss Yanyan?"
Upon hearing this, Afu quickly waved his hand.
"Little Ling'er, don't talk nonsense. I think Yan Yan probably has someone she likes."
Li Ling'er opened her eyes wide and asked, "Oh, this Sister Yan Yan actually has someone she likes? Who is it?"
Brother Afu is so handsome.
Does she not even like you?
Shanzi watched this amusing scene unfold.
They then laughed as they recounted their encounter with Mei Yanyan.
He told Cai Yao'er and the others everything in detail.
After listening, Cai Yao'er suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."
So, it seems Yan Yan has fallen for Xiao Lie.
Shanzi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I'm not quite sure, but judging from Yan Yan's attitude towards Xiao Lie, it seems to be somewhat special."
Shui'er's eyes were bright and sparkling.
"Brother Shanzi, how could such a thing happen to you?"
If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known you were on your way to Sichao with King Ling.
There are so many exciting and interesting things to do!
Tell us more about what other fun things happened!
Shanzi looked at Shui'er's face, which was full of curiosity, as if she wanted to get to the bottom of things.
I couldn't help but gently tap Shui'er's head.
He feigned anger and said, "Why are you so curious?"
We're not here for sightseeing; we need to hurry on our way.
You still have the leisure to say these things now.
