After that, five days had passed since the banquet. Chu Heng also attended the Xie family’s wedding banquet.
Soon, it was the end of September, and the weather slowly cooled down.
Ye Muyu was wearing an ordinary light green brocade robe, and the two children were also wearing ordinary clothes. They were not outstanding, nor were they too bad. They were clothes that others would not notice or think were bad.
Ziluo still tied her hair into two buns.
Chu Jin was wearing a small leather jacket and a pair of sheepskin boots.
The climate on the mountain of Black Water Village was humid. Cloth shoes would get wet immediately if they were worn. There might even be ants in the shoes. Sheep leather boots were suitable.
After packing up, the family only brought Zhang Shu and Han Zhuang. The two of them were responsible for driving the carriage. After Ye Muyu got on the carriage, the carriage slowly moved.
The carriage went all the way out of the village. After walking for about an incense stick’s time in the direction of the main road in the county, they met the Du family’s carriage.
Du Heng’s coachman knew Zhang Shu.
After the two carriages met, they slowly came to a stop.
“Brother Heng, I’m not late, am I?” Du Heng lifted the curtain and smiled at Chu Heng.
“No, let’s go. Follow my carriage,” Chu Heng said.
Du Heng nodded and instructed the coachman.
The two carriages headed towards Black Water Village.
Because the carriage was much faster than the ox cart, there was no delay on the road. It only took more than an hour to arrive outside Black Water Village.
Beside the main road outside Black Water Village was a river. The river was not shallow, and there were willow trees and all kinds of water plants beside it.
Once they entered the village, there was no main road, only a very narrow dirt road. On both sides of the dirt road were fields.
There was still water in the field, and there was straw on it, which was very moist.
Suddenly, two carriages entered the village. The villagers who were still working in the fields looked over curiously.
“Who are you? What are you doing in our village?”
The carriage moved very slowly, so it did not take long before a man with a hoe stopped in front of the carriage.
Zhang Shu hurriedly explained, “Sir, don’t misunderstand. Our Master is here to visit a relative.”
“Do you know the Xiang family? Our Master’s Eldest Aunt is the Xiang Family’s Old Madam, Chu Xingjun.”
“Xiang family?” When the surrounding commoners heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Some of them even started discussing in low voices.
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Shu was a little uneasy.
“Follow this road to the middle and then go west. You will see the Xiang family’s house.” The man saw that the other party was here to see relatives, so he did not stop him. However, Zhang Shu was curious about the Xiang family, so he did not say a word. He turned around and left with his hoe.
“Zhang Shu, let’s find the Xiang Family first.” Ye Muyu heard the discussions from the villagers in the carriage. She was worried.
“Yes, Madam.” Zhang Shu hurriedly drove the car forward.
Chu Heng reached out and held her hand tightly. Ye Muyu’s worried heart was temporarily put down. She held his hand back and smiled lightly.
“Don’t worry, Eldest Aunt is a determined person. Even if something really happens, there are still other members of the Xiang family. It’s only been a few days, nothing big will happen.”
“Yes.” Ye Muyu thought about it and agreed, so she waited quietly.
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin, on the other hand, looked out curiously at the carriage curtains. The two children were whispering to each other.
Soon, the carriage moved forward and arrived at a corner.
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from afar.
A group of celebratory people walked over. In front of them were gongs and drums, and behind them was a palanquin. There were not many people, about seven or eight people, but they were all strong men.
