The carriage headed towards Zhong Family Village, and its location was quite favorable, not very far from the prefecture.
It took just about half an hour after leaving the city, without any winding roads.
Even their carriage could directly enter the village, and the road wasn’t bumpy.
Obviously, this village seed quite affluent; otherwise, they wouldn’t have maintained the roads so smooth and wide.
ng Yunzheng inquired about the location of the Zhong Family Village chief, and quickly found a large blue brick house in the center of the village following the directions.
However, at this ti, the entrance of the village chief’s house was already crowded, layer upon layer of people, villagers were noisily chattering, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
With ng Yunzheng’s support, Shu Yu disembarked from the carriage, peeking ahead curiously.
"How is it? Can you walk?" ng Yunzheng asked in a low voice, with an expression as if to say ’if you can’t walk, I’ll carry you over’.
Shu Yu cleared her throat lightly, "I can walk."
Having rested the entire day and applying the dicine Zhao Xi gave, she felt much better, with no major issues in walking by herself.
ng Yunzheng left Xia Yan and Ying Xi by the carriage, and led Shu Yu forward.
However, there were too many people, crowding the front, not allowing anyone from the back to enter.
ng Yunzheng slightly furrowed his brow, looking up at the tall enclosing wall.
Shu Yu suddenly grabbed his hand, "No, if we climb the wall, we’ll definitely be taken as thieves. With so many villagers here, they’ll all co after us at that ti. And we don’t even know if Master accomplished what he ca for; let’s observe the situation first."
ng Yunzheng had to abandon the idea of climbing the wall and glanced back at Xia Yan by the carriage.
The latter imdiately ran forward, "Sir."
ng Yunzheng, "Make way ahead."
It was fine before, but now Shu Yu is injured; these people are all tall and strong, and even the won are fierce. It wouldn’t be good if she got hurt again.
Xia Yan responded and charged forward.
His skills were good, quick and strong, and he soon forcefully cleared a path in front.
ng Yunzheng protected Shu Yu and stood directly at the front, ignoring the curses from the other villagers, shalessly standing by the courtyard door.
The courtyard was lively as well, but not crowded, mostly family mbers of the house, it seed.
Shu Yu scanned around and then saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair under the porch, eyes closed in ditation.
"It’s the Dongqing Temple master," ng Yunzheng whispered.
"Finally, there they are, at least they haven’t left yet." Shu Yu exhaled a long breath.
The Dongqing Temple master hadn’t changed much compared to two years ago, easily recognizable at a glance.
"What is Master doing there?"
ng Yunzheng looked at the scene in the courtyard, sowhat uncertain, "Seems like they are waiting for sothing."
What are they waiting for?
All the others in the courtyard tried to remain calm, either sitting or standing, occasionally glancing towards the entrance and then at the closed-eyed Dongqing Temple master, wanting to inquire but hesitant to disturb, only rubbing hands or furrowing brows.
ng Yunzheng and Shu Yu tried to glean so information from the villagers’ conversation, but they were similarly puzzled.
Shu Yu hesitated on whether to go in.
It was then that the Dongqing Temple master opened her eyes, and without hesitation, she looked directly at Shu Yu with a very direct and swift gaze, as if she knew exactly where she was.
Shu Yu’s expression brightened, and she raised her hand to wave, "Mas..."
