Chapter 149: Chapter 0149: Successfully Brought Back 1_1

Hearing Guan Cheng assert that he didn’t have any relatives left in such a resolute tone, Zhang Erya was momentarily taken aback. She looked at Guan Cheng, then at Feng Qingxue, her face full of confusion. Who is this supposed relative? Do they exist or not?

However, Feng Qingxue just smiled and said, "I’m not a Guan, my surname is Feng."

"Feng? Although I was quite young when my father died, I can remember that our family had no relatives with the surname Feng." As Guan Cheng was speaking, he moved over to his younger brother and knelt down beside him, cautiously touching his forehead. Once he realized that the fever was gone, he finally showed a slight smile. His attitude towards Feng Qingxue wasn’t as blunt as before.

"Doesn’t your family have relatives with the surname Lu?"

Upon hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Guan Cheng blurted out, "Auntie?"

Shortly after, he shook his head, "No, that’s not right, my aunt’s family suffered mishaps not long after ours. I heard that my aunt had passed away not long after my father." At that time, his mother had not remarried yet, so he would occasionally hear tidbits about his aunt’s family.

He had seen the conditions of these years with his own eyes.

The Guan family ended up in such a state, with the fate of their family being just as lamentable as the Lu family who were considered large landlords.

But Feng Qingxue just chuckled, "You’re quite a smart lad, Guan Cheng. Truly, you’re really tough and capable. At such a young age, you are taking care of your brother, and your memory is certainly beyond people’s imagination. To be honest with you, Tianjun and Tianzhi are your aunt’s two sons, they’ve been longing for a reunion with you!"

"I know Tianjun, he’s my cousin who’s a few months younger than me. Is Tianzhi the little cousin that my aunt gave birth to in the year of the incident?" Guan Cheng gave a measure of trust because the topic was not about the people of the Lu family, thus, not mentioning the names Lu Tianjun or Lu Tianzhi.

"Correct, that child’s name is Tianzhi, he’s very cute and pretty. Rumor has it that he looks just like your aunt. If your brother was taken care of properly, he could become very handsome too."

Guan Cheng shook his head and replied, "Our predicament doesn’t even allow us to have proper meals, how are we supposed to thrive? It’s already good enough to be alive."

Feng Qingxue was still holding Guan Yu in one hand and stretched the other towards him, "Come with me, Guan Cheng. Although we adults can’t provide you with a luxurious life, it’s certainly better than you two children wandering around without food or clothing."

"You haven’t answered me yet, who are you? What relation do you have to my aunt’s family?"

"Tianjun and Tianzhi’s uncle is my fiancé, we’re already engaged and are waiting for him to come back before getting married. Tianjun’s grandfather has been sending people out to search for you two, it was only recently that they found news about you. He’s in a difficult situation and isn’t convenient to be here in person, so I am the one looking for you. Tell me, do I count as your relative?"

While Feng Qingxue was talking, she took out a small gourd from her bag.

The little gourd was a greyish brown, with a dried gourd vine attached to the top, and a protruding character for ’Fortune’ on the belly of the gourd. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was shaped this way by attaching a mold to the gourd while it was growing.

Guan Cheng grabbed the gourd, gently caressing it for a moment.

"This is a gourd I made with Tianjun when we were younger. We had four molds, each with the characters for fortune, prosperity, longevity, and happiness. The characters were written by my father, and the mold was made by my grandfather. Only the ’Fortune’ and ’Longevity’ gourds sprouted in the end. I got the longevity gourd, Tianjun got the fortune gourd. We were five years old that year. Turns out, he kept it all along."

Feng Qingxue nodded, "Too many things happened at that time. This gourd is worthless, so it was preserved."
