Chapter 404: 403, Meng Family Village
Zhang Qi and the others left the guesthouse, waiting at the bus stop for Luo Shu and Wang Fei to arrive.
"Why aren’t they here yet? Nothing bad happened, right?" Chen Xiaomeng checked the time and expressed her concern.
"Of course not, don’t worry about it," Xiao Yan was also a bit anxious inside. After all, the journey from Jinchen to Northern Xiang was not close, and both Luo Shu and Wang Fei were young girls, so it was only natural to be worried.
"I haven’t seen Luo Shu for so long, I really miss her!" Liu Mengyao exclaimed.
"That girl disappeared for so long, I heard she went traveling with her Guard Member brother. She really is a forgetful friend; not even letting us know before leaving, had us worried for nothing for half a year," Zhang Qi complained. She had spoken to Wang Fei over the phone yesterday when she set off and had found out about Luo Shu’s situation from her.
"When we see her, we must thoroughly interrogate her. Do you think she might have... eh?" Chen Xiaomeng said with a mischievous smile, making a ’together’ gesture with her fingers.
"It’s very possible, oh! Alone together, dry wood and a fierce fire, it’s hard to avoid a spark flying," Zhang Qi chuckled wickedly.
"Are you guys talking behind my back?" Luo Shu’s voice came from nearby, tinged with a hint of amusement.
"Luo Shu, I’ve missed you so much!" Chen Xiaomeng hurried over to Luo Shu at a quick pace, embracing her. She pretended she hadn’t just been the one speaking ill.
Luo Shu patted Chen Xiaomeng with a smile and looked at everyone, "Sorry! I made you worry!"
"Where have you been fooling around with your Guard Member brother this half a year? Spill the beans!"
"Confess and you will be shown leniency; resist and it will be strict."
"Are you sure you want me to talk about it here?" Luo Shu swept her gaze over the crowd of onlookers with a smile.
"We’ll let you off for now, but you must give us a full account when we get to Yujuan’s home, otherwise, we will extract a confession by force."
"You went out and enjoyed yourself while we worried for so long."
"Isn’t my apology enough? I hereby ask for forgiveness from all my little masters," Luo Shu said playfully, bowing her hands in front of everyone.
"That’s more like it!"
"I’ll forgive you this time, being the magnanimous person that I am."
"Let this not happen again!"
"The bus is coming, let’s get on," Wang Fei said with a smile, seeing the bus with ’Route 29’ approaching from afar.
Everyone quickly picked up their luggage, waiting for the bus to come to a stop.
The speed of the bus slowed down and it stopped at the bus platform.
Luo Shu and the others waited until the bus doors opened and they walked on, one after another.
There weren’t many people on the bus, and just as they settled into their seats, the ticket collector came over, "One dime for Dragon Pond Town, fifteen cents for Ma Family Village, twenty cents for Meng Family Village."
Zhang Qi took out a yuan and handed it to the ticket collector, "We’re going to Meng Family Village."
The ticket collector took the money, tore off six bus tickets, and handed them to Zhang Qi, then moved on to sell tickets to other places.
The ride started off smooth, but when they entered Ma Family Village, the road became bumpy, jolting the passengers, giving them the sensation of riding in a palanquin.
"I can’t take it anymore; I feel like throwing up!" Chen Xiaomeng covered her mouth with a pale complexion.
"Me too," Zhang Qi’s face also turned unpleasant.
The other girls were likewise struggling to keep silent, all holding back. They were city girls from well-off families, unaccustomed to this kind of discomfort.
Luo Shu took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and handed it to Wang Fei beside her. After Wang Fei took one pill, Luo Shu passed it to the others. She had forgotten that they were not like her; otherwise, she would have given them a pill at the start.
"You really do live up to the name of a divine doctor; I don’t feel anything anymore."
"Instantly feels so much lighter!"
"How did I forget I had a divine doctor like you? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to suffer this long." After taking the medicine, everyone started to feel better, the feeling of upheaval and nausea completely disappeared.
"I forgot to ask you too." Luo Shu chuckled and put the porcelain bottle that everyone handed back into her pocket.
As the road got worse, the bus jostled more and more, but not only did everyone no longer feel like vomiting, they actually found fun in it.
After more than two hours, the bus finally came to a stop.
Everyone got off the bus with their luggage in tow. Although they no longer felt sick and nauseous, they were still completely unfamiliar with the place, and as soon as they disembarked, they began to feel dizzy.
"We can’t even see a village here—where should we go?"
"Didn’t Yujuan say she would come to pick us up? How come we don’t see her?"
"We should wait a while; it would be troublesome if we took the wrong way."
Luo Shu drew back her gaze and said to the others, "Follow me, I know where to go." She had already used her Divine Sense to locate Meng Yujuan, who was hurrying over here. If they didn’t go to meet her, they would have to wait at least half an hour.
The others nodded, although somewhat surprised that Luo Shu knew where to go, they also knew she was not the type to joke about such things.
Luo Shu led the group forward, and after about fifteen minutes, they saw Meng Yujuan hurrying towards them.
"Sorry! Something held me up. How did you know to walk in the direction of my home?" Meng Yujuan looked at them in surprise. The Meng Family Village wasn’t large, but the roads were numerous; without knowing the place well, it was virtually impossible to find the right direction.
"Luo Shu said so, she said she knows your home." Zhang Qi said.
Meng Yujuan looked at Luo Shu in amazement, while Luo Shu smiled and said, "I’ve been here once."
"No wonder!" the others suddenly exclaimed.
Following Meng Yujuan’s lead, they headed toward the Meng Family Village, and after walking for a good half hour, they finally saw the village.
"Yujuan, your home is so far away!"
"Do you have to walk this long every time you come back?"
Meng Yujuan nodded with a smile, "I’m used to it." She went to school in town and always walked there, taking an hour and a half each time to reach school.
"I suddenly feel so fortunate," Chen Xiaomeng said with deep emotion. She had never walked such a distance her entire life; today was a truly unprecedented first for her.
The others nodded in agreement. They only walked long distances when they went shopping.
"It’s a good thing we have the bracelets Luo Shu gave us; otherwise, I would have suffered from heatstroke along the way."
"Even without motion sickness, this heat would have done me in."
As they talked, they had already walked into the village.
Many villagers stood at their doorways, pointing and gesturing at them, as if they were seeing something novel.
"Yujuan, these are your classmates, right? They’re all so pretty."
"Are they all engaged? Want auntie to set you up? The young men in our village are pretty good."
"Sister-in-law Li Er, they are all college students; why would they fancy our village lads?"
"Right you are! Look at Yujuan now, she’s made something of herself, even her beau is from the city. Just think about how Yujuan used to look, tsk tsk tsk!"
