Chapter 364: You Must Leave Here Quickly; Do Not Let Anyone See You

Liu's father and mother also stated at the same time that they would not keep any of these things; they would bring them all over during the wedding, and they would additionally provide Chuxue with two hundred yuan as dowry.

This was something the Fu couple had not expected, but since their son had previously mentioned that Chuxue had made a contribution and received a reward from above, they now understood.

Once they had settled things on their end, Kong Yizhang also found the people: "Uncle Kang, are you all right?"

Kang Yongsheng did not expect to see Kong Yizhang at all: "Why are you here?"

Kong Yizhang's eyes turned red: "I only recently heard word that you were here. Truly unexpected; you were right under my nose, yet I searched for so long."

Kang Yongsheng, looking tense, said: "You must leave here quickly; do not let anyone see you."

Kong Yizhang glanced to his left: "It's fine; no one will come this way at this hour."

Seeing that he would not obey, Kang Yongsheng could only let him into the house first: "How is your father?"

Kong Yizhang helped the old man into the house: "He has been worried about you all this time. He entrusted many people, but someone kept interfering, so we only just found you now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person lying on the kang bed inside, let go of Old Kang's hand, and stepped forward a few paces: "What has happened to Yuanwei?"

Seeing the gaunt cheeks of his former friend, he felt even greater loathing toward those people.

Kang Yuanwei opened his eyes upon hearing the voice: "Yizhang, why are you here?"

Remembering something, he propped himself up and sat upright: "You must leave quickly; this is not a place you should come to."

Seeing him in such a state, Kong Yizhang's voice carried self-reproach: "I am sorry; I could not protect you."

Kang Yuanwei reached out and slapped Kong Yizhang's arm: "What are you saying? Those people were deliberately looking for trouble. It is a good thing you were not drawn into it; otherwise, even with Uncle Kong's help, it would have been hard to escape unscathed."

Kong Yizhang saw that apart from his despondency, there was no major problem, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he saw the child sleeping on the inner side of the kang: "What is wrong with Xiaoze?"

Old Kang sighed: "Ever since the incident at home, the child was badly frightened. A few days ago, he caught a chill and developed a fever; he almost burned himself into delirium."

Kong Yizhang, somewhat anxious, climbed onto the head of the kang and reached out to touch the child's forehead.

Just then, Old Kang said: "That day, with no other choice, I tried to ask the household that had recently moved in not far away for help. Fortunately, that Miss was kind-hearted; she not only gave me medicine to reduce the fever but also brought food after dark."

Hearing about the household that had recently moved in not far away, Kong Yizhang asked: "Is it the one with the retaining wall built in front of the gate?"

Old Kang nodded: "Yes, that is the one. I wonder if there will ever be a chance to repay that Miss."

As he spoke, he lowered his head in despondency.

Kong Yizhang clapped his hand onto Old Kang's shoulder: "We have been thinking of ways; there will surely come a day when we can leave here."

Kang Yuanwei shifted backward and leaned against the wall: "I will not speak words of gratitude. Just remember to take care of yourself first; do not let my family's troubles drag you in as well."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and continued: "I have also come to my senses; I will not remain despondent like this. I have not yet avenged Nanyue; I must watch those people go to hell with my own eyes."

Hearing him say this, Kong Yizhang finally set his worried heart at ease: "It is good that you have come to your senses."

After speaking, he said quietly: "I brought some things; I will go fetch them."

Fearing something might go wrong, after finding them, he had first hidden the items not far away.

Very soon, he returned carrying the items: "Uncle Kang, there is not much; use it for now. I will come again in a few days."
