Chapter 646: Chapter 646: The Breath of Death Chapter 646: Chapter 646: The Breath of Death Because a death had occurred in the village, the excitement of the villagers who had been feasting lively at the long-table banquet decreased significantly.
Especially when they thought of Erlaizi’s pile of bloody bones, their hearts would tremble in fear, and the scent of death suddenly shrouded over their hearts, making them uneasy and anxious.
When the village head relayed Xuexue’s words to everyone, asking them all to go to the mountains to dig vines and plant them at the edge, it was as if they saw hope. They were invigorated in an instant, enthusiastically went home to get their farming tools, and followed the village head into the mountains to dig vines.
Indeed, not to mention that their own safety was secured and could defend against wild beasts, it was also a deed for the benefit of future generations. After all, the villagers had lived here for generations, and who didn’t want their descendants to live peaceful lives and have restful sleeps themselves.
Several days later, the villagers finally planted vines throughout the entire mountain edge. To comfort everyone for their hard work, Xuexue threw an additional two-day long-table banquet.
The villagers were very grateful for Xuexue’s actions.
On this day, the day came for General Situ and Xuexue’s family to return to the Capital, and the entire village came out to the village entrance to send them off.
Aunt Li, in particular, found it hard to let go of Madam Xie’s family because she was a loner and only got along with the Xie family in the village.
“Xuexue, when you have time, bring your mother back to visit Aunt Li,” Aunt Li’s eyes were moist. She had gotten used to being all alone, not feeling much about it, but ever since she had the company of Madam Xie’s family, she had been much happier. Now that they were leaving, she felt a great sense of loss.
Xuexue: “Aunt Li, don’t be sad. Mom and I will come back soon. Please help us with the care of the house along with the village head.”
“Rest assured, Aunt Li has plenty of free time and will often go over to clean up,” Aunt Li wiped away her tears.
The village head hastily added, “Yes! Don’t forget, Mo Family Village is your second hometown. You must remember to bring your mother and Chuner back for a visit.”
Xuexue nodded and said, “I will.”
Chuner was saying goodbye to Xiao Gougou, both little rascals crying miserably, a truly heartbreaking scene.
“Chuner, you’re a liar,” Xiao Gougou said with a tear-stained face and a red, runny nose.
Chuner, sniffling and sobbing: “I’m leaving now, and you’re still saying I tricked you. Can’t you leave me with a good impression?”
“It’s true, you promised to study with me at the Private School, but now you’re leaving. You can’t say you’re not tricking me.”
“My sister has found her biological father and we’re going back to the Capital. There’s nothing I can do about it; our family can’t be separated.”
“I know you can’t help it, Chuner. Just don’t forget Xiao Gougou in the future.”
“Mhm!” Chuner nodded vigorously.
After a moment of thought, Xiao Gougou solemnly said, “In the future, I will work hard in my studies. When I become the top scholar, I can go to the Capital and be with Chuner.”
Chuner, upon hearing this, broke into a smile: “Xiao Gougou, remember to study hard and then come to the Capital to find Chuner. You can’t lie, okay?”
The two Little Kids, innocent and honest, were exchanging their heartfelt words.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiaoqiang, knowing that Madam Xie and her daughter were leaving for the Capital today, finally mustered up his courage, ignoring the imposing and fierce guards, squeezed his way to Madam Xie, and pulled her aside to whisper.
“Wife, such a big event like going to the Capital, how could you not discuss it with me?” Mo Xiaoqiang asked anxiously, still harboring fantasies about reconciling with Madam Xie. But now that she was leaving, what would he do in the future?
Madam Xie also felt a bit sentimental. Going to the Capital with her family, she did not know when they would be able to return: “I wanted to tell you, but during these days, you haven’t visited us at all. How could I talk to you?”
