Chapter 150: After the Heavy Rain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Little Leaf Village.

The young lady who said that she wanted to be Chu Qingzhi’s servant girl reached out her small hands to hold the falling rainwater. Her voice was crisp. “Grandpa, it’s raining heavily.”

The old man’s eyes were red as he reached out shakily. The rain fell on his hand, splashing. “Yes, it’s finally raining.”

The seeds that he had planted previously had already germinated. With this heavy rain, they would definitely grow better.

The little girl’s bright eyes were filled with anticipation as she asked, “Grandpa, do you think Sister Qingzhi will send someone to look for me and take me back to be her servant girl?”

The old man waved his hand. “She won’t.”

The little girl was a little anxious. “Why?”

The old man smiled. “I don’t know why either, but I don’t think she will.” His granddaughter was so young. Even if Qingzhi wanted a servant girl, it wouldn’t be her turn.

The little girl did not give up. “Grandpa, can I go to the capital to look for her when I grow up?”

Hearing the laughter around him, the old man patted the back of the little girl’s head and said amiably, “Sure, Grandpa will support you.”

From then on, the hope of going to the capital to find Chu Qingzhi had been planted in the young girl’s heart.

In front of the straw hut, the man put one hand on the woman’s shoulder and reached out to catch the rain with the other. There was a smile on his face. “Jinniang, it’s finally raining.”

The woman smiled gently. “I almost couldn’t see this scene.”

The man’s fingers suddenly tightened. “I won’t let anyone harm you again.”

The woman suddenly turned around and looked at the man with a gentle smile.

“Husband, I have good news for you.”

The man took the opportunity to kiss the woman. “What good news?”

The woman gently touched her stomach. There was a glow on her face. “We have a child.”

The man was stunned, then ecstatic. He hugged the woman and smiled like a child. “Jinniang, that’s great, that’s great!”

The woman smiled. “Husband, 1 have an idea.”

The man answered without hesitation. “Jinniang, tell me. I’ll agree to anything.”

The woman gently leaned against the man’s chest and looked at the vast land. “If it’s a girl, I want to name her Qingzhi. It’s after the name of my savior.”

The man nodded. “Sure, sure. Let’s do this.”

The woman thought to herself. She would remember for the rest of her life that there was a woman called Qingzhi who saved her from death’s door. She was so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy. The woman hoped that her child would be like Qingzhi!

Outside Xu City.

In the heavy rain, beside the camphor tree, Li Zhangjie looked at his parents and siblings who were endlessly happy. He suddenly said, “I want to go and find Sister Qingzhi.”

The others turned to look at him.

Mr. Li patted Li Zhangjie’s thin shoulder. “Zhangjie, I understand what you’re thinking. If you want to go, go. I support you.”

Li Zhangjie looked determined. “Father, Mother, sisters, brothers, when I make a name for myself, I’ll come back and pick you up. Can you wait for me in the original village?”

Mr. Li smiled at Li Zhangjie and encouraged him, “Okay, we’ll wait for you to make a name for yourself and come back to pick us up.”

Mrs. Li felt a lump in her throat. “Zhangjie, no matter how well you do, come back in three years.”

Li Zhangjie hugged Mrs. Li. “Father, Mother, take care. I’ll leave now.”

He had already asked about Chu Qingzhi’s address when she was still here. He remembered it deeply in his mind. He desperately wanted to see Chu Qingzhi and follow her.

The Li family members looked at Li Zhangjie, who quickly disappeared into the rain. Their eyes were filled with reluctance. When they could not see his figure, they all cried.

Mr. Li looked at Mrs. Li. “Our son is leaving to strive for a brighter future. Why are you crying?”

Mrs. Li said, “It’s tears of joy.”

Mr. Li wiped the rain off his face and smiled. “I’m happy too. Since the rain has stopped, we should go back. We have to farm well and wait for our son to come back.”

Mrs. Li smiled. “Okay.”

Along the way, countless people were saved by Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. Everyone missed the two of them deeply. Some remembered them in their hearts, while others acted to express their gratitude.

In the Chu Village.

Li Qingyu looked at the rain in front of her and said with some worry and longing, “Chu Rong, Qingzhi has been gone for a month. When will she come back?”

Chu Rong stood beside Li Qingyu. “Didn’t Qingzhi send a letter saying that she would be back in a few days? Didn’t she tell you?”

Li Qingyu glanced at the man who was always calm. “1 know, but I’m anxious. I don’t know where Qingzhi and Jinghong went. What if something happens?”

Chu Rong quickly said, “Can you hope for the best? Jinghong is a reliable man. What can happen?”

Chu Xuhua, who had grown much taller and handsome, walked over. “Father, Mother, Fifth Sister’s ability is obvious to all. You don’t have to worry so much.”

Li Qingyu looked at the two of them. “Get lost. I don’t want to see you. You’re stopping me from missing my daughter.”

Chu Rong and Chu Xuhua looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They walked away silently.

Granny Chu walked out of the house. “Qingyu, I miss Qingzhi too.”

“Mother.” When Li Qingyu heard this, she burst out crying without warning. This made Granny Chu cry too. Hence, the two female elders at home stood at the door and cried together.

The Chu family was speechless.

In the courtyard.

Wen Shaoyuan packed up the food and came to the courtyard. He stood at the door and knocked. “General, it’s time to eat.”

He was Tang Jinghong’s trusted aide and secret guard. Other than Tang Jinghong, no one knew of his existence.

Tang Jinghong had been guarding the bed for three days and three nights. Unless necessary, he would not leave. Hearing this, he said, “Bring it in.”

Only then did Wen Shaoyuan push the door open and enter. After entering, he very obediently looked straight ahead and placed the food box on the table. “General, do you have any other instructions?”

Tang Jinghong did not want anyone to disturb Qingzhi’s rest. “No. Go out.”

Wen Shaoyuan immediately turned around and left. Just as he reached out to open the door, he suddenly heard, “Is there any news recently?”

Wen Shaoyuan turned around and returned. He said respectfully, “It has been raining for two days and two nights. It has already stopped. The Emperor has pardoned the people of the north from all taxes. This decision was opposed by some old ministers, but the Emperor did not listen to any of them and insisted on issuing the decree.”

“The rumor of the Heavenly Punishment has already disappeared. Instead, people praised the Emperor for being virtuous so that the heavens sent the rain down.”

“Because of the trip to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Emperor’s reputation among the people has reached a peak.”

Tang Jinghong had already expected this and was not surprised. He was silent for a moment before asking, “Is there any news from the Northern Border?”

“Yes, our people have already found the nest where Wan Zhilin trains assassins and are preparing to destroy it. However, the person who improved the crossbow is hidden by the Lord of the Northern Border. We haven’t found him yet.”

Tang Jinghong emphasized, “Continue searching. Find this person no matter what.”

“Yes, General.”

“How’s it going with the refugees?”

“A few deputy generals are escorting the people back to the north. Everything is going as you instructed.”

“You may leave.”

“Yes..”
