Chapter 502: Chapter 329: The Angered Ginseng, Changes in the Deep Mountains

Jiuli Village entrance, bustling with activity.

All the villagers who had heard of Lu Qing and his group’s return scrambled out from inside the village.

“Truly, it’s Ah Qing and the others returning!”

“It’s been several months, and Ah Qing seems a bit different.”

“Little Yan has changed as well; she’s grown some.”

“What kind of horses are those two, and why do they have horns on their heads?”

“Who is that girl, so strikingly beautiful?”

“In this and the neighboring eight villages, we’ve never seen such a gorgeous girl!”

…

The villagers were abuzz, some gauging the changes in Lu Qing and his group, others curious about the two Dragon Blood Steeds.

Some were even amazed by Hu Zezhi’s appearance.

Amidst the discussion, Lu Qing approached Grandpa Zhang.

“Grandpa Zhang, I’m back.”

“It’s good you’re back safely, good you’re back safely.”

Grandpa Zhang’s eyes were slightly moist, his body shaking with excitement.

“Didn’t you encounter any danger on your trip?”

“There was none. We were very safe, with Master watching over us, and we didn’t stir up trouble,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

On the side, the elder doctor:…

However, Grandpa Zhang took it seriously and promptly bowed to the elder doctor, saying,

“Thank you, elder doctor, for looking after Ah Qing and Little Yan. Otherwise, with Ah Qing’s youthful vigor, who knows what trouble he might have caused.”

The elder doctor hesitated slightly but then smiled, “Old Master Zhang jests. Along the way, it was Ah Qing and Little Yan who took care of my daily needs. This old man didn’t do much.”

“That’s what Ah Qing should do as a disciple, should do.”

“Grandpa Zhang, let’s go inside the village.”

Seeing Grandpa Zhang seemed inclined to continue expressing his gratitude, Lu Qing hurriedly spoke.

“Right, look at this old muddlehead! You’ve traveled such a long way; you must be tired. Go back to the village to rest,”

Grandpa Zhang smacked his head and said.

“I’ll go and take down the Red Rope.”

Lu Qing walked to the letter tree where, at the start of the journey, he had tied three Red Ropes and now gently took them down. Although months of exposure to wind and rain had faded the red ropes slightly, Lu Qing still carefully placed them under a stone slab.

Seeing this, the villagers all smiled.

Back at home, Lu Qing found the weeds in the courtyard had been thoroughly cleared.

Inside the house was spotless, and it didn’t look like it had been uninhabited for several months.

The house was even cleaner than when Lu Qing and Little Yan had left.

Lu Qing knew that surely Grandpa Zhang and the others had come to clean every day to keep the house dust-free.

“Ah Qing, you’ve just returned; I presume you haven’t had a chance to prepare any food yet, so I’ll have Uncle Zhang and others come over,”

Grandpa Zhang looked around and said.

Lu Qing was about to speak when suddenly, a loud noise came from outside.

A voice shouted, “Young Master Lu, in the name of Master Ma, I’ve brought you some items.”

“Brother Tian?”

Lu Qing stepped out and saw Xiao Tian, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, standing at the courtyard gate with several people, all of them carrying loads on their shoulders.

“Brother Tian, did you come from the big market?”

“Yes, I just received Master Ma’s pigeon delivery and learned that you had returned, Young Master.

Master Ma asked me to bring some daily necessities for you and Old Doctor Chen,”

Xiao Tian said respectfully.

“It’s always Master Ma thinking ahead; please bring the things inside.”

Xiao Tian and his men brought in the loads.

There were all kinds of items, from rice and meat, vegetables and fruits, even to daily toiletries, all prepared.

“Young Master Lu, see if there’s anything else you need, and I will immediately have it sent over.”

“There’s no need; it looks quite complete here, thank you, Brother Tian.”

After inspecting the items and finding nothing amiss, Lu Qing nodded his thanks.

“In that case, I won’t disturb Young Master Lu further.”

With those words, Xiao Tian respectfully bowed and then left with his men.

Lu Qing watched them go, shaking his head,

Xiao Tian seemed much more reserved this return.

Who knows what Master Ma had said to him in the letter.

“Grandpa Zhang, look, I’m not short of food here; you needn’t trouble yourself.”

Lu Qing turned around and said with a smile.

Grandpa Zhang looked at the items on the ground and also smiled, “It really is Ah Qing who has the influence; gifts arrive as soon as you return.”

That person Xiao Tian, Grandpa Zhang had seen quite a few times over the past two years.

Periodically, he would personally deliver some daily necessities to Lu Qing’s place.

But he hadn’t expected him to have such swift news.

Lu Qing had just returned, and Xiao Tian was already there.

“Right, Grandpa Zhang, I just returned today and haven’t prepared anything. I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting. Let’s wait a day or two, then I’ll arrange a dozen banquet tables to really celebrate with everyone.”

“Alright, today you have guests, and I won’t bother you further; you go ahead and attend to your guests.”

Grandpa Zhang did not insist. He knew that such expenses were nothing to Lu Qing.

After all the villagers had left, Lu Qing then said to Hu Zezhi and his daughter, “The villagers care about me and Little Yan, so they were a bit noisy; my apologies if it caused you discomfit.”

“Not at all; it’s rare to see such simple and genuine villagers. It’s our fortune to be able to stay here,”

Uncle Hu quickly said.

“By the way, before coming back, I had already spoken to Senior Wei. Uncle Hu, you and your daughter can temporarily stay at Wei Family’s annex.
