Chapter 2001: The Thoughts of the Three Boys

Dabao also squeezed his head out. The car window was just that big, and his face was still chubby. When he squeezed over, it almost distorted Shurui and Erniu’s faces.

The two of them looked pained, while Dabao, oblivious, excitedly exclaimed, "We’re going to Tianning County to see the place where Brother Meng used to live. Ying Dong told us that Brother Meng lived there until he was ten. It’s a rare trip, and it would be such a pity not to take a look. Don’t you agree?"

He wanted to turn his face, and in the gap when he turned his head, Shurui and Erniu finally managed to pull their heads back and started to breathe heavily.

Shu Yu almost couldn’t stop laughing, "Alright, let’s go to Tianning County. It’s just the right time for Ying Dong and Ying Xi to go back and offer incense to their parents."

Ying Xi had gone to worship before, but Ying Dong had never had the opportunity.

Now listening to Shu Yu, the siblings suddenly became excited, "Thank you, Miss."

"When we get to Tianning County, we’ll stay for a few more days, and you’ll be free to move around and can meet up with old friends."

Actually, Shu Yu’s main reason for going to Tianning County was to see Meng Pei.

Last time she set out with the old lady, the purpose was the Xuanyuan Sword in the Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County. Uncle Meng said he wanted to dig up the sword and give it away directly to avoid others targeting their family again.

Several months passed, but Meng Pei hadn’t returned yet, and she didn’t know how things had turned out.

Anyway, she didn’t need to discuss it with a few others, three youngsters got what they wanted and immediately cheered up excitedly.

They were not traveling quickly along the way; Shu Yu was always rushing in the past, but it’s rare to stop and enjoy roadside scenery. Now, with three young travelers exploring, she took her time, strolling and stopping, occasionally staying in a place for a day or two.

The three youngsters were satisfied, but seeing the increasing pile of stuff in the carriage, Shu Yu was notably troubled.

Fortunately, as the weather warmed up, the group finally arrived at Huajiang Prefecture.

Huajiang Prefecture was as bustling as ever, and hearing there was the largest dock on this route here, Shu Rui and the others couldn’t wait to see it.

Seeing them so energetic, Shu Yu let them be, only instructing, "We’ll stay overnight in the prefecture today and head to Tianning County tomorrow. Come back early after you’ve finished at the dock, don’t tire yourselves out too much, be careful not to wake up tomorrow."

"Got it, Second Sister."

After moving the luggage and belongings to the inn room, the three enthusiastically ran out.

Shu Yu shook her head, seeing it was still early, she asked Ying Dong and Ying Xi if they wanted to go out on their own.

Ying Xi didn’t go, but Ying Dong thought of a friend in the prefecture. Previously, Ying Xi mentioned that after their mother and stepfather passed away and were uncertain about their remains, Ying Xi found the jailer Tan Ping in the prefecture to know who took care of their bodies.

Ying Dong was friends with Tan Ping, and since he was here, he wanted to visit him and thank him for his care back then.

Shu Yu let him be busy, and she stayed in the inn to rest with Ying Xi.

That evening, the three youths returned, all very excited. They had never been on a ship before, and seeing the several stories high ships at the dock, they found it quite spectacular.

Except for Dabao, the other two immediately wrote an article on the spot, proclaiming to show it to Master Wen upon their return.

Shu Yu smiled and urged them to go to sleep early.

The next day, they all got up early, eager to head to Tianning County by carriage.

However, just as they reached the city gate, Shu Yu suddenly called to stop the carriage, "Wait."
