Chapter 131 Reunion
Daya, Xiaoyue, Hong Pijing, and Mei Yanyan explored step by step along the winding road.
The night, like a profound painting, gradually unfolded around them.
They followed the signs until they arrived near a quiet and quaint town.
The town seemed to have been forgotten by time, lying quietly in the embrace of the night, exuding a faint sense of peace and tranquility.
On the edge of the town, an old tree stands alone, like a silent guardian, witnessing countless passersby.
Moonlight filtered through the sparse branches and leaves, dappling the tree trunk and draping the old tree in a silvery veil.
Daya discovered that there were two coded messages carved on the tree—two images of bonfires.
"Xiaoyue, come and see." Daya excitedly pointed to the coded message on the tree and said to Xiaoyue, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue immediately leaned closer to examine it closely, a hint of surprise and determination flashing in her eyes.
"They should be in this town. There are two campfires on this tree, so it's probably true."
Her voice was soft, yet full of strength and determination.
Hong Pijing followed beside him, secretly admiring him.
Along the way that day, he witnessed too many miracles, especially the little girl he had never met before. Her wisdom and courage filled him with deep admiration.
This girl, whom only spoke of from Xiaoyue and the others, not only taught them how to find a way out of difficulties.
They also created a unique set of martial arts that enabled them to protect themselves in dangerous environments.
Such a child is bound to become an extraordinary person in the future.
Mei Yanyan stood to the side, watching the two of them intently.
Her eyes held both worry and determination. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, the four of them would face them and overcome them together.
The four of them walked along the town's roads, step by step, into the town.
The town was exceptionally quiet at night, with few people on the roads. Only the occasional sound of the night watchman striking the gong broke the tranquility.
Following the coded clues, they carefully searched every corner.
Whether it's a hidden spot on the wall, a secluded corner of a shop, or even a crack in the roadside stones, they leave no stone unturned.
Their eyes are sharp as eagles, not missing a single detail.
After a difficult search, they finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous little courtyard.
On the wall of the small courtyard, two small fire patterns were carefully drawn with charcoal, echoing the coded message on the tree, as if telling them some kind of secret.
A surge of indescribable excitement welled up in Daya's heart. She gently patted Xiaoyue's shoulder, indicating that she had found it.
"This is it, let's go knock on the door."
Her voice trembled slightly, a result of a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Xiaoyue nodded, her eyes shining with determination.
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the gate of the small courtyard, preparing to knock on the door leading to the unknown.
Hong Pijing and Mei Yanyan followed closely behind the two of them.
The two took a deep breath, trying to calm their slightly disordered breathing caused by the long journey and their anxiety.
With slightly trembling but trying to remain calm, they gently knocked on the somewhat old wooden door of the courtyard.
The surface of the wooden door is mottled, and the marks of time are clearly visible.
It seems to be telling the story of the village's antiquity and tranquility.
A moment later, you could hear a series of light footsteps coming quietly from behind the door.
With a slight metallic clanging sound, it was clear that the person behind the door was cautiously on guard.
"Who is it?" A slightly wary male voice came through the crack in the door.
His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it also revealed a sense of simplicity and sincerity.
"Excuse me, do people from Sujia Village live here?"
Daya stood beside Xiaoyue and asked, afraid that her voice would frighten the person behind the door.
Although her voice trembled slightly, it was filled with determination and anticipation.
The door creaked open slowly, and a middle-aged man appeared before them.
His face was etched with the marks of time, his skin rough and dark, but his eyes shone with an indescribable warmth and resilience.
When the man saw the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but that surprise was quickly replaced by an overwhelming joy.
He smiled and said, "Da Ya, Xiao Yue, it's you! That's great! Come in quickly, we've all been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Daya and Xiaoyue were overjoyed, as if all their fatigue and worries had vanished in an instant.
"Uncle, we're back."
Then they quickly followed the man into the courtyard.
Although the courtyard is small, it is arranged in an orderly manner, clean and tidy, exuding a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
Inside the house, Shui'er, Xiao He, and the other people from Sujia Village were sitting around a round table.
The table was laden with steaming hot food, its aroma filling the air; clearly, they were preparing to eat.
As soon as Daya and Xiaoyue walked in, Shui'er and the other children spotted them immediately. They excitedly stood up from their chairs and rushed into Xiaoyue's arms.
It was as if all the longing and joy were being poured into this warm embrace.
"Big Sister Ya, Little Sister Yue, you're finally back."
Shui'er's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
Daya and Xiaoyue hugged them tightly, tears welling up in their eyes, but they held them back from falling.
Their voices were choked with sobs: "We've finally found you. We're so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright."
The uncles and aunts in the village were overjoyed to see Daya and Xiaoyue arrive.
They all gathered around, holding Daya and Xiaoyue's hands, their faces beaming with genuine smiles.
"Da Ya, Xiao Yue, you're finally back! We were so worried about you these past few days."
The aunts' voices carried a hint of reproach and concern, clearly showing how worried they were about Daya and the others' safety.
"Yes, Xiaoyue. How come you've lost so much weight? And your hair... Have you been suffering outside?"
The uncles inquired about Xiaoyue's health with concern.
"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, Xiaoyue is fine, Xiaoyue is doing well."
Hong Pijing and Mei Yanyan stood aside, quietly watching them express their joy at the reunion.
At this moment, Grandma Su, the only remaining elderly person in Sujia Village, slowly walked over.
Although her steps were somewhat unsteady, her eyes revealed an indescribable firmness and compassion.
She looked at Daya and Xiaoyue, her eyes filled with tears, and reached out to gently stroke their cheeks, as if she wanted to turn all her longing and worry into this gentle caress.
“My children, you’ve been gone for more than half a year. Your grandmother was worried about you for a long time.”
Grandma Su's voice trembled and choked with sobs, clearly showing her deep concern for Daya and Xiaoyue's safety.
"Grandma is relieved to see that you have returned safely."
Grandma Su's voice was choked with emotion, but mostly filled with relief and joy.
Daya and Xiaoyue held Grandma Su's hands tightly, their eyes glistening with tears: "Grandma, we've made you worry."
Grandma Su looked at the two of them, but didn't see Shanzi and the others.
She asked with concern, "By the way, didn't you and Shanzi go to the neighboring country with King Ling?"
Why are only the two of you back? Where are Shanzi, Xiaolie, and Afu?
Hearing Grandma Su's question, Daya patiently explained.
"Grandma, don't worry. Half a month ago, the Spirit King heard about the matter of Illusionary Spirit City and returned before us."
We saw many refugees fleeing along the way and learned that the Qin state had sent troops to attack the border of the Ling state.
Shanzi and his group were worried about the safety of the Ling Kingdom's border, so they decided to go there to provide support.
Grandma Su was even more startled when she heard Daya say that.
Her face turned pale instantly: "How can they go to war? People die in war."
"If anything happens to them, how can I, an old woman, face the ancestors of the Su family?"
Seeing this, Xiaoyue quickly stepped forward to comfort Grandma Su: "Grandma, it's alright."
Shanzi and his group are very skilled in martial arts, so you don't need to worry about them.
They will definitely come back safely; we must believe in them.
The villagers of Sujia Village also comforted Grandma Su, saying, "Yes, Auntie."
Shanzi and the others are the pride of our Sujia Village; they will definitely return safely.
"Auntie, don't worry. Let's eat first. Daya and Xiaoyue must be starving after the journey."
The aunts talked as they pulled Grandma Su toward the round table.
As Grandma Su listened to everyone's words of comfort, although she was still worried, a relieved smile gradually appeared on her face.
She knew that no matter what happened, the people of Sujia Village would unite as one and face difficulties together. And Shanzi and the others would definitely return safely.
