After Xia Qingfeng and his party rested in Bingzhou for three days, they set off for Youzhou. Bingzhou is not far from Youzhou and can be reached in about five or six days by carriage.
Xia Qingfeng was very happy that she would be able to meet her adoptive parents soon. This should be the original owner’s last wish!
Ling Xiaoyu naturally had to escort him all the way.
Ling Xiaoyu also separated 20 people from the special operations team. Wu Er led the team and followed Xia Qingfeng to Youzhou. Xia Qingfeng left Li Nanxing, Li Peilan and Wang Chengwen in the medical team. The remaining personnel stayed in Bingzhou and obeyed Cheng Ye's dispatch.
Just like that, dozens of people set off together.
The further north they went, the colder the weather became. On the second day they set out, it snowed heavily. Fortunately, the wheels of the carriage were tied with anti-skid chains produced by Xu Xiaoxiao Space, and the guards on horseback were also fully armed: cotton coats. , cotton trousers, large cotton shoes, hat, gloves, and face mask. In short, everything except the eyes was covered. The journey was smooth, and there were no bandits or beasts. Hehehe, mainly because of this outfit and stance, no one dares to do it!
When Xia Qingfeng and the others were just halfway through their trip, Li Zhi leisurely opened his eyes in an ordinary house in Youzhou City.
What is this place? Li Zhi struggled to sit up. The house was small, dark, and cold. He opened his mouth and exhaled a white breath. Li Zhi couldn't help but shudder. He slowly stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a vast expanse of white outside.
At this time, a woman in her twenties came in from outside and said, "Hey, you finally woke up!" After saying that, she held Li Zhi's arm in a familiar manner.
This woman is tall, not much shorter than Li Zhi, and has three-dimensional facial features: a high nose, bright eyes, and a slender chin, giving her a wild beauty.
Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the woman with confusion on his face.
When the woman saw Li Zhi looking at her, she smiled coquettishly and said, "Master lets us live here. I heard that my husband is literate. How about being a teacher here?" She helped him into the back room and poured another glass. He handed over the hot tea, "Husband, just call me Li'er!"
Li Zhi took the tea and did not drink it. Instead, he looked straight at Li'er and asked, "I want to know who your master is." Seeing that Li'er didn't reply, he smiled bitterly and said, "I have to know. Who do you want to work for?"
But Li'er put away her smile and said, "You don't deserve to know who the master is, you just need to be obedient."
A few days later, Xia Qingfeng and his party finally arrived in Youzhou. To her surprise, she actually saw her adoptive parents at the city gate.
It was Cang Qiyuan who ordered people to notify Youzhou's subordinates in advance and prepare the house to welcome Xia Qingfeng.
Since the couple living in the house knew that their daughter and granddaughter were coming to Youzhou, they had been looking forward and waiting every day. They wanted to wait at the city gate, but they were afraid of causing trouble to the people who took care of them here.
They also knew that Da Sima sent people to pick them up from Heishui Village where they were assigned and let them live in Youzhou City. There were also dedicated people to protect their safety and take care of their food and daily life.
Their living conditions are many times better than those in Heishui Village, and even better than when they lived in the capital, but they are always trembling with fear. What kind of person is Da Sima? Below one person, above tens of thousands of people, he is the protector of the Kingdom of Yu.
Such a person would actually know a criminal who was sent to a remote area. They are thinking hard and don't know why. Therefore, even if they thought of waiting for their daughter and granddaughter at the city gate, they did not dare to bring it up.
The people who took care of them were carefully selected by shopkeeper Chen, and of course he saw what they were thinking. So they drove their carriage to the city gate every day and waited, rain or shine. Fortunately, they finally arrived.
Xia Qingfeng got off the carriage and saw the old couple walking towards her. She called out softly: "Father...Mother..." She walked a few steps quickly, threw herself into her mother's arms and let tears fall from her eyes.
She wanted to vent, she wanted to vent for the original owner. It has been almost a year since they crossed paths, and Xia Qingfeng's emotions seem to have merged with the original owner's. She will always think about the original owner's wishes, recall her childhood, and miss her parents. She seemed to be Xia Qingfeng, a stronger, braver and smarter Xia Qingfeng.
Xu Xiaoxiao also walked over and took her grandfather's hand very obediently.
Ling Xiaoyu did not get off the carriage. After all, Youzhou was close to the border, so he had better not disturb anyone.
Ling Xiaoyu didn't get off the carriage until he returned to the house arranged by Cang Qiyuan.
Xia Qingfeng's father, Xia Minzheng, was only a minor official in the capital's official department and had no chance to meet the emperor's grandson. When he heard that the person in front of him was His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, he was so shocked that he quickly knelt down, his voice trembling.
Ling Xiaoyu quickly helped the two elders up and said gently: "There is no need to be polite, old man. Xiaoxiao is my junior sister, and you are also my elders. We are all one family."
Xia Minzheng was shocked when he heard this and said, "I don't dare! I don't dare!" and wanted to kneel down again.
Ling Xiaoyu knew that they would be very restrained when he was here, so he pulled Xu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, how about walking around in the yard with senior brother?"
"Okay!" Xu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, and the two walked out hand in hand.
The second elder looked at the backs of the two people leaving, but he still didn't come back to his senses. It wasn't until the two people disappeared at the end of the corridor that they slowly turned their heads and looked at Xia Qingfeng with complicated expressions.
They knew their daughter best. She was gentle and quiet. She had been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She was not an independent or capable person. But now, the daughter standing in front of them gave them this feeling.
Seeing this, Xia Qingfeng pulled his father and mother to sit down together. Regarding their life experiences, the three people had discussed it on the carriage. The two elders cannot be allowed to know the truth that their daughter and granddaughter are gone, otherwise they will not be able to bear it.
Three years later, when I saw my adoptive parents again and compared the memory in the original owner's mind, they were much older. My father's hair was almost completely white, and my mother's face was covered with wrinkles. In fact, they were only in their 40s.
Therefore, they decided that their changes would be the same as mentioned before, that is, they were enlightened by the Buddha, had great opportunities, and had special abilities.
Fortunately, Master Yuanyin also came with him. With this master around, the adoptive parents would be more likely to believe him.
When they knew that their daughter was in a difficult situation in the Hou Mansion after they were sent away, they were angry and resentful. They were even more fortunate that Xia Qingfeng could run away with her daughter, escape to Chongfu Temple, and meet the enlightenment of the Buddha.
In fact, which parent doesn’t want their children to live well? Therefore, they are more willing to believe that their daughter has encountered a great opportunity and firmly believe in her words.
