Luo Feng glanced at the two people sliding down the cliff, then reached out to take the official docunts from Niu Yong’s hand. After taking the docunts, he first looked at the large red seal, ensured it was correct, and then read the content on them.
After reading, he put them away directly and started chatting with Niu Yong. However, Niu Yong, being a soldier, was not very good at socializing, and the people sent by the governnt were still on the cliff, not yet down.
So, after exchanging a few words, they stopped talking and looked up at the high cliff, waiting for the two people to co down.
They waited for more than half an hour. Only then did the two co down, and by the ti they landed, their legs were weak. If Niu Yong and the others hadn’t stepped forward to support them, they might have sat down on the ground imdiately.
After resting for a while, they felt a bit better and, under Niu Yong’s introduction, greeted Village Chief Luo.
Seeing that the two were still a bit pale, Luo Feng asked Niu Yong, "Mr. Niu, do you have anyone else coming down? If not, let’s head back to the village first."
"Not at the mont!"
"Alright, let’s go then."
Luo Feng led Niu Yong and the others back to the village, with Luo Lan and the others following behind. Back at the village, the governnt officials discussed relocation matters with Luo Feng, and since Niu Yong and the others had nothing else to do, they toured the village with Luo Lan leading the way.
En route, they couldn’t help but ask about Mu Qiancheng’s rescue. Upon learning that it was Luo Lan who saved Mu Qiancheng, they were deeply grateful to her.
The village was neither too big nor too small, but they finished walking around in half an hour. Niu Yong returned to Luo Feng’s house, where the governnt people had already finished talking with Luo Feng and were set up for rest.
Though Niu Yong and his group weren’t tired, they followed the hosts’ lead and went to rest as well.
Once Niu Yong and his team left, Luo Lan, full of curiosity, clung to Luo Feng and asked, "Dad, what did they say?"
"You’re just a little kid, why do you care about so much?"
"Dad, I’m not a kid anymore, I’m almost at my coming-of-age ceremony."
"Yes, not that young anymore." Luo Feng smiled, ruffled his daughter’s hair, and said, "Go play!"
"Dad!" Luo Lan shouted angrily. She had told him she wasn’t a little kid anymore, yet he still told her to go play. Really, if he didn’t want to talk to her, just don’t.
Luo Lan knew Luo Feng wouldn’t tell her, so she didn’t press further. She turned and went back to her room to work with her herbs. If her dad’s talks were successful, they’d soon be leaving.
So, she figured it was better to prepare more herbs, in case they left and soone got a headache or fever without any dicine to use.
Niu Yong and the others stayed at the bottom of the cliff for two days, and then the matters were settled. Luo Lan and her group were to leave first, while the older folks stayed behind.
As the village chief, Luo Feng also left first with Luo Lan’s group.
Finally able to leave, Luo Lan was quite happy and started packing her treasures as soon as she heard the news. She brought everything she could use, and it added up to several large bundles.
When she appeared with her bundles in front of Niu Yong and the others, they were stunned. After a long while, Niu Yong regained his senses and asked, "Miss Luo, are you taking all these things with you?"
"Yes, these are all things I need. Why, is there a problem?" Luo Lan frowned and asked. She was used to using these things.
"Miss Luo, do you know how we’re leaving?"
"Yes, climbing the cliff."
"But with all this stuff...?"
