Chapter 98: Returning to the Village

Not long after Han Li left Star Fall Mountain, Sect Master Wang announced that he had taken Li Li Feiyu as his closing disciple and promoted him to the position of Hall Master of the Outer Blade Hall, from then on favoring him greatly. Moreover, several years later, when Han Li's third uncle accidentally committed a major mistake and violated the gang rules, which should have cost him his life, Sect Master Wang disregarded the objections of others and protected him.

As for Sect Master Wang, in later gang struggles, because he encountered formidable enemies, he was several times severely injured and on the verge of death. Whenever everyone thought he would not last long, he relied on a medicinal pill from a jade bottle to miraculously survive, quickly becoming lively again. This matter aroused the envy of others, who asked him about the name and origin of this medicine, but Wang Wang Juechu was always evasive and refused to say clearly. Of course, those who wanted to beg for this medicinal pill naturally returned empty-handed.

It was not until many years later, when Wang Wang Juechu passed away, that he left behind the name of the medicinal pill—"Essence-Nurturing Pill." At that time, only three pills remained in the jade bottle. But these three pills still caused a bloody storm and brought quite a bit of trouble to Wang Wang Juechu's descendants! However, that is a matter for the future; let's not mention it for now.

As for Li Li Feiyu, he was currently staring blankly at several small bottles and a note. When he returned from Zhang Zhang Xiuer's place that morning, these things had appeared in the room.

The note was left by Han Li. It was written very simply, just telling Li Li Feiyu that he had already left the Seven Mysteries Sect and might never return. The medicine in these bottles had been carefully prepared and should be able to extend Li Li Feiyu's lifespan; he hoped Li Li Feiyu would not refuse.

Finally, at the signature, a smiling face of Han Li was drawn. Next to the smiling face, a sentence was added wishing Li Li Feiyu and Zhang Zhang Xiuer an early marriage and many children.

After Li Li Feiyu was dazed for a while, he suddenly ran out of the room and rushed to the peak of the small mountain closest to him.

On the peak, Li Li Feiyu looked eagerly toward the direction of the Seven Mysteries Sect's main gate, but all he saw was lush greenery; where could he still see any trace of a person? After standing motionless for a long time, Li Li Feiyu sighed and finally said in a low voice with a lonely expression: "I hope you take care! Have a safe journey!"

Then Li Li Feiyu slowly descended the mountain, his slowly walking back appearing very lonely and melancholy!

At this time, a carriage was traveling on an ancient road, heading east.

Han Li and Qu Hun were sitting in this carriage. Although the space inside this four-wheeled canopy carriage was not small, only the two of them were sitting there now. Because Han Li had spent three taels of broken silver to temporarily rent the entire carriage.

This wooden carriage looked a bit tattered on the outside and appeared very old, but it was quite clean inside, and the two horses pulling the carriage were in their prime, running very vigorously and pulling the carriage very fast.

Han Li had taken a fancy to these two points, which was why he was willing to spend three taels of broken silver to charter this carriage. You must know, usually, such a carriage could only earn a little over one tael of silver after being busy for several days.

The coachman was a very ordinary, dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man who was not good at talking. Unless Han Li took the initiative to ask, he would not open his mouth to speak. This point also satisfied Han Li.

You must know, the Qu Hun he brought with him had an unusually tall stature and wore a hood to cover his face, looking very mysterious. If it were someone talkative who asked, dealing with it would be quite troublesome.

On Han Li's shoulder stood that yellow-feathered "Cloud-Winged Bird." This little thing, full of spirituality, had its eyelids half-closed, appearing to be resting.

Qu Hun, sitting at the other end of the carriage, carried a large bundle on his shoulder. Inside, besides some clothes for changing, it was all items of considerable weight like gold, silver, bottles, and jars.

As for the small items like magic tools, letters, and books obtained from Doctor Mo, because they were of great importance, Han Li was afraid of losing them, so he carried them on his person.

Now Han Li sat quietly in the carriage, listening to the "creak, creak" sound made by the wooden wheels, his expression calm and waveless, not feeling any sadness because of leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect.

If there was anything that made Han Li feel slightly reluctant, it was only his close friend Li Li Feiyu. But presumably, the other party should have received his message and seen the secret medicine he had prepared for him. He hoped these medicines would be effective and allow his friend to enjoy a good life for a while longer.

Thinking of this, Han Li stretched his body, leaned his back against the carriage wall, and began to doze off. He had already instructed the coachman on the destination of this carriage: it was the small village by the mountain where he was born.

Although he knew it was impossible, he still hoped that as soon as he opened his eyes, he could see the faces of his parents and siblings.

He had been away from his parents for so many years! Even their faces were a bit blurry in his memory. Therefore, before traveling far away, he must see his parents with his own eyes; otherwise, he would never be able to leave with peace of mind.

"I wonder how my little sister is doing. She should be ten now! When I received a letter from home last time, it seemed to mention that she had been betrothed and had received the betrothal gifts." Before Han Li fell into a hazy sleep, a short and thin figure appeared in his mind. The owner of this figure had always followed behind him, calling "Fourth Brother," "Fourth Brother" incessantly in a baby voice.

"Time really passes quickly!"

Han Li finally fell into a deep sleep in a warm atmosphere. He slept very peacefully and soundly this time, just like when he was a child with his parents guarding him and driving away mosquitoes, sleeping so sweetly.

Five days later, Han Li followed the yellow dirt road and finally saw the familiar little village from afar.

The low mud walls, rows of straw stacks, and the bumpy little path—all of this had made Han Li dream of it so much, and now it all appeared realistically before his eyes.

Han Li suppressed the excitement in his heart. He let the coachman stop the carriage far outside the village, and Qu Hun was also left in the carriage and not allowed to come down. He himself walked quickly toward the entrance of the village. The closer he got to the village, the more violently his heart beat.

This kind of uncontrollable feeling was something Han Li hadn't felt for a long time!
