At this mont, the sky has already lightened with the first sign of dawn, and the night just passed like that.
Yang Ming asked, "Village Chief, now that the truth is clear, can we leave Anding Village?"
The Village Chief, feeling very embarrassed, said, "Yes, yes, you can; it’s just that the carriage was driven away by the villagers. If you want to leave now, I’m afraid..."
"Forget about the carriage, just let us leave safely."
The more Yang Ming said this, the more guilt the Village Chief felt, as that carriage was quite valuable. Yet, they said they didn’t want it. "Yes, yes, you can leave at any ti."
The Village Chief turned and instructed the villagers, "Everyone disperse, and don’t stop them from leaving."
The villagers listened to the Village Chief’s instructions, agreed one by one, and returned to their own hos.
"Gentlen, there’s still business in Anding Village, so we won’t accompany you. Please feel free to do as you wish." The Village Chief left with the dimwit, probably going back to think about how to handle this matter.
Thus, only the few people escaping were left on the road again.
Seeing everyone had left, Shitou’s mother, with tears in her eyes, said excitedly, "Big brother, thank you so much."
Yang Ming understood what Shitou’s mother was thanking for, "Sister-in-law, no need to thank . I was just telling the truth. This is good; now you can openly co back to pay respects and visit family."
Shitou’s mother was deeply moved, as he even considered this for them, further solidifying their decision to follow them.
"Oh wow, girl, now we’re free, there’s no rush to leave, right? This night was exhausting and starving us to death; let’s go back and have a al first."
"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless; this person indeed thought of nothing but food.
However, he was right. Now they were truly free, so there was no need to abandon so much. They could just get a carriage when they reached the town or county.
"Husband, let’s go back first and look for the little lamb."
Yang Ming understood his wife’s intention. He also didn’t want the blind and small ones to follow him all the way to the town.
The main thing was not to tire his wife. After settling his wife and them at Little Shitou’s house first, he would go to town alone to get a carriage.
"Okay, let’s head back first."
So, the group walked back, all in very good spirits.
On the way, Xiaoxiao praised Yang Ming a lot, "Husband, you’re amazing, it’s all thanks to you that we managed to turn danger into safety this ti."
Yang Ming smiled with lips pressed, "Just luck."
"No, no, you’re amazing, so smart to co up with the idea of making the dimwit eat those leftover dishes."
"That’s why I said it was luck!"
"Hmm?"
Seeing his wife look puzzled, Yang Ming continued, "Actually, I was just betting on that person’s courage; those leftovers weren’t from the Fat Girl’s house."
"..." Huh?
With a playful smile, Yang Ming said, "After a whole day and night, the food at Fat Girl’s house had long been finished by that family. How would it get to him?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao broke into a cold sweat. This move was way too risky, but thankfully, thankfully...
But one can’t deny Yang Ming’s extraordinary courage. If that person had stubbornly eaten and not confessed, who knows what their fate would have been!
On the way back, the little lamb was surprisingly still in the sa spot. How much must it love that patch of grass!
But it looked satisfied with food, and Yang Ming just had to tug it, and it followed them back.
