The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2250: Chapter 2250: Baimu County (Part 4)

Without Gu Qingheng, Yang Ruxin felt uninspired. Even though she claimed she wasn’t worried, how could she not be worried? Fortunately, he took Xiaohei and Heihei with him. Having them accompany him made her feel a bit more at ease. What reassured her even more was that Ming Guang went along as well. After all, the inner strength continually surging from within him could only be absorbed and utilized by Gu Qingheng. Staying by his side was the only way to prevent himself from being driven crazy by the inner strength.

However, worry and yearning are two different things.

She needed to return home, to see her family, to ease the bone-deep longing. So she entrusted the sect’s affairs entirely to Yong You and immediately departed Yunmen Mountain without any delay.

Initially, Dao Xuzi wanted to stay for a few more days but seeing Yang Ruxin was determined to return, opted not to stay behind and followed along.

The people of Yunmen Mountain were already accustomed to their sect leader’s long absences, so it didn’t cause much of a stir.

When they first set out, it was a grand group, but during the return journey, there were only three people left, which made Yang Ruxin feel the disparity. Luckily, Dao Xuzi, the old man, was quite quirky, constantly asking her for food and drink, making the journey not too lonely.

”Hey girl,” Dao Xuzi complained after three continuous days of traveling tirelessly. ”Even if we’re eager to return, we can’t keep running like this. My old bones are about to fall apart.”

Yang Ruxin frowned, had it been three days?

”We must rest tonight and have a good meal,” Dao Xuzi, seeing Yang Ruxin silent, decided to act stubborn. ”Otherwise, I can’t continue running.”

”Maybe...”

”Look, Chai Qin’s face is turning pale,” Dao Xuzi pointed at Chai Qin before Yang Ruxin could speak. ”We’ve been traveling day and night, eating and sleeping in the open for three days. Not everyone has your physical prowess. Besides, the mounts need rest too. If they tire out halfway, it would be even more troublesome. Sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the chopping of firewood.”

It was only then that Yang Ruxin noticed Chai Qin’s indeed pale complexion and nodded: ”Alright, we’ll have a good rest tonight.” In any case, they had already entered Linjiang Prefecture, and unless there’s an accident, they could have dinner together with the family tomorrow night.

With Yang Ruxin’s word, Chai Qin and Dao Xuzi were delighted and quickened their pace. Ten miles ahead was a county town.

When they arrived at the city gate, Yang Ruxin realized it was Baimu County. This Baimu County was adjacent to Baihua County, yet due to the vast region, the proximity wasn’t too close.

Yang Ruxin remembered Baimu County vividly because her sworn brother Fang Tianze’s betrothal was with the Dai Family from Baimu County. Currently, Dai Zhigao is the county magistrate here.

Back then, Dai Zhigao and Fang Dehua were classmates, and Fang Dehua even helped him out once. The two ended up as county magistrates in Linjiang Prefecture and arranged a childhood betrothal for their children. However, Dai Xiyan disliked Fang Tianze for being sickly and rejected him. But later, when Fang Tianze recovered, they brought their niece over, trying to reestablish the match.

The behavior was truly despicable.

Hence, Yang Ruxin had no favorable impression of the Dai Family.

However, there was one thing to thank Dai Xiyan for: had it not been for her rejection, Qingge wouldn’t have found such a good husband.
