Looking at the young girl who was elegant and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, Mr. Luo's eyes shone with admiration.
"Sit, sit, sit." Mr. Luo's serious expression changed into a kind smile, and then he looked at Butler Luo beside him.
"Hurry and prepare food. Take out some of the glutinous rice cakes and jujube mud cakes made by Aunt Luo. This child must be hungry after traveling a long way." Mr. Luo looked at the water drops on the clothes outside the flower brocade. Said distressedly.
It's unbearable for a grown man to be walking around outside, let alone such an exquisite and lovely girl.
"Eh," the old housekeeper hurried to make arrangements, and Luo Lai also hurriedly followed.
"Son, it must be a hard journey!"
Hua Jin smiled and shook her head, "Fortunately, it's not as hard as I thought."
The old man with a kind face opposite looked older than his grandfather, about fifty or sixty years old, and his gray hair was particularly obvious, but he gave people a good feeling.
"Why don't you work hard? Song'er will give it to you soon..."
"My grandfather's Hua family's sister's name is taboo..."
"Grandpa Luo just call me Jin'er."
"Okay, but don't call me Grandpa of the Luo family. Just call me Grandpa Luo. Why don't Song'er hurry up and give Jin'er more sugar water?" The old man looked at his grandson with a look of disgust.
Isn't he usually a very clever child? Why does he look so dull now?
"No, no, I just drank a big bowl. Thank you, Grandpa Luo."
"Thank you." The more Mr. Luo looked at the little girl in front of him, the happier he became.
Mr. Luo's gaze was so focused that the smiling Hua Jin smile on his face almost failed.
"Grandpa, drink some water too." As if aware of Hua Jin's discomfort, Luo Song walked up to his grandfather and poured a bowl of sugar water, blocking his gaze.
"I'm not thirsty." Mr. Luo glared at his grandson unhappily.
Hua Jin also took the opportunity to cough, attracting the attention of the two, and then spoke out the purpose of coming here.
Thinking that there was still some time, Luo Song gave the order and it would not be too late to set off in the daytime tomorrow.
"Grandpa Luo, Brother Luo Song is a bit reckless this time, but time is pressing. I..."
"..."
"So you came here specifically to deliver a letter to us. It's really hard on you, kid."
"It's not hard." Hua Jin pursed her lips and smiled before saying seriously: "If possible, I hope we can start tomorrow and maybe we can keep up with the pace of our village."
"Song'er" Mr. Luo also looked at Luo Song.
"It's not a problem to set off tomorrow. I can't give the order right now." Luo Song also said seriously.
Just then Butler Luo and Luo Lai came in with food.
"Sister Jin'er, thank you for your hard work. Let's have something to eat. I have to excuse you and go make arrangements first."
"Brother Luo Song, go ahead and take care of yourself, I won't be polite." Hua Jin smiled back with a crooked eyebrow, and in the next moment he focused his attention on the food.
I was on my way, and I was already hungry after not eating for a few hours.
Mr. Luo also waved his hand in disgust and told his grandson to go quickly, while he greeted Hua Jin to eat.
It was more than an hour after Luo Song had arranged everything. When he came back, Hua Jin had fallen asleep in the newly set up tent under the old man's arrangement.
However, for the sake of her reputation, Butler Luo asked an aunt to accompany her. After all, she lived in the cave of her grandfather and grandson. Although they were all members of the Luo family, they were still intimidating and had to be careful.
Luo Song stood outside the little girl's tent for a moment, watching the old man fall asleep, and then returned to his tent to rest.
The next day everyone got up early, especially the women, to cook porridge, pancake makers to make pancakes, and barbecue barbecues. In short, everyone had to bring enough food for seven days.
By the time it was almost dawn, everything was ready. Even the horses, mules and oxen were piled with supplies and tied tightly with ropes.
Not only that, each man carried nearly a hundred kilograms of stuff on his back, and even the women carried a large basket. Except for the guards and left-behind personnel responsible for protecting everyone, no one could carry anything empty.
Hua Jin had a rather delicious meal with Mr. Luo Song in the cave, and then watched the family members clear away everything in the cave. When the sun rose, the team set off with Luo Song's order.
Such a big movement in the Luo family has also attracted the attention of several surrounding families. Although the current head of the Luo family is young, he is indeed a visionary. It can be seen from the fact that they have followed them all the way here. Otherwise, they would still be wandering in the city even if they have no food. No matter how abundant it is, I am afraid that I will freeze to death in the water.
The Luo family suddenly made such a big move, which forced them to think more, so whether it was the Li family, the Sun family, the Wang family, or the Qin and Zheng families, they almost all sent people to investigate.
But they were all discovered by the Luo family guards, and they didn't dare to follow them for the sake of their own lives. Moreover, as they went further and further away, they were not prepared enough and had no way to follow them.
It took two days to walk like this. Fortunately, it was not as slow as Hua Jin expected, and he had already walked half of the distance.
Mainly because Luo Song was well prepared, but after all, there were old, weak, women and children in the team, so it was impossible to say it was fast.
As for the old, weak, women and children, they would rest in caves or under mountain walls with rocks as shelters at night, while the men would live in tents, with charcoal burned inside and a few grown men cuddling together for warmth.
It was also very peaceful along the way. Except for the occasional hare and pheasant that came out to look for food and flew by, I didn't see any large wild animals. It was just right for the flowers, and the calm speed could be faster.
Just like this, another two days have passed, and Hua Jin has already seen the mountains where Huajia Village is located. At this point, Hua Jin can't contain his excitement.
It had taken five days to bring it back. She didn't know if her parents had already set off, so Hua Jin couldn't hold back her mood.
"Sister Jin'er, why don't you go back and take a look first? It's not far away. I'll be there soon with my people."
Hua Jin's gaze was so intense that it was difficult for Luo Song to pretend not to see it, and he immediately said.
"Can you do that?" Hua Jin still had to be polite.
"Of course, don't worry, it won't take long. You go back and see if Grandpa Hua and the others are gone. We can save ourselves from taking more unnecessary steps and change the route directly."
"Brother Luo Song is right, then I will take the first step, you be careful!" He said hello to Mr. Luo in the sedan: "Grandpa Luo, I will go back and take a look first, and I will pick you up when I come back."
When Mr. Luo agreed and opened the wooden door, he only saw the afterimages of one, two and three people leaving the mountain where they were.
All of a sudden, all the things that I couldn't understand before became clear.
He was still wondering. From what his grandson said, the Hua family's family loved her dearly. Although they were from a farm family, they had been pampered since childhood. How could they let a girl deliver the message alone?
It's no wonder with this kid's skill and speed.
At the same time, I am also more curious about the Hua family mentioned by my grandson.
What kind of family could raise such a powerful little girl?
He is also well-informed. Regardless of his skills, at this speed, the most powerful guard of the Luo family cannot keep up with him.
