Chapter 280 See you later
The next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Yun and others were ready to set off.
Although they were reluctant, they had to go. This time they would be secretly away from the capital for a long time. As long as he did not return to the capital, his identity as "Prince Rui" in the palace would be at greater risk of being exposed.
Hang Shuheng and others sent them to the gate. Yangyang knew they were leaving and was reluctant to let them go. "Uncle, are you going home?"
Xiao Yun looked down at the little guy, then suddenly bent over and picked him up, "Yes, uncle is going home."
Yangyang put his arm around his neck, looked him straight in the eye, and asked seriously, "Will uncle come again in the future?"
Xiao Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "From now on, it's Yangyang's turn to go to uncle's house to play, okay?"
"Is it okay? Where is uncle's home?" Yangyang asked, then turned to look at his father and mother.
Song Ning walked up to him and took him over. "Okay Yangyang, this short separation is for a better meeting in the future. When we have the chance, we will go to uncle's house."
Hearing this, his serious little face suddenly showed an innocent smile. He turned to look at Xiao Yun, "Uncle, I will miss you."
Chu Fang, who was watching from the side with his hands itching, became jealous and reached out to rub the little guy's head, "Little guy, don't you miss me? Huh?"
Yangyang looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded his head.
Chu Fang was pleased. He laughed loudly, pulled out a jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into the little guy's hand.
Upon seeing this, Song Ning quickly declined, "Oh, no, it's too valuable." It was obvious at a glance that the jade pendant was of great value.
"Nothing, this is my gift to the child." Chu Fang nodded to her, and then said to Yang Yang: "Little guy, when we go to the capital, uncle will take you to the horse farm to ride horses."
Yangyang was playing with the jade pendant in his hand, struggling to get off the ground, and Song Ning quickly put him down. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he ran home, and no one knew what he was going to do.
Soon, the little guy ran out holding a square bamboo basket, which was woven by Shuisheng with bamboo silk and specially used to hold some toy puppets for him.
There wasn't too much stuff in it for the time being, so it was very light, and he, a small man, could run very fast holding the basket.
"Uncle, this is for you."
Xiao Yun lowered his head and saw a doll carved into the shape of a gourd and painted red, being held high by the little guy.
"What is this? Calabash Brothers?" Xiao Yun took it and subconsciously remembered the story Yang Yang had told him, "Is this the big brother with infinite strength?"
"Yeah!" A while ago, when Shuisheng had nothing to do, he carved the seven gourd babies, and Yangyang painted each of them with the corresponding color.
Chu Shisan noticed that there were other colored ones in the small basket, so he picked up the yellow one and asked, "Yangyang, this is the invulnerable Sanwa, right? Can you give it to me?"
Yangyang hesitated for a moment, but still gave it to him.
"What is Calabash Brothers?" Chu Fang and Chu Er were confused.
"Hahaha! I won't tell you." Chu Shisan got a Calabash Brothers and was proud for a while.
Since they were all going to be given away, we couldn’t favor one over the other. Chu Fang and Chu Er were also lucky enough to get one.
The group said goodbye for a long time outside the gate of the Hang family before going to get the horses. Song Ning hurriedly handed over two jars of sealed meat sauce, along with a recipe that she had written down last night.
She gave the recipe to Chu Fang and said, "If the old man likes it, just ask the chef in the mansion to make it according to the recipe."
"Okay, I'll take it then."
Chu Fang put the recipe in his arms, turned around, picked up Yangyang, got on the horse, and galloped away.
Song Ning felt panicky for a moment, but soon calmed down. She saw the horse run for a distance, turn around, run back, and stop in front of her.
The horse stopped, but the little guy's innocent laughter never stopped, and Song Ning quickly took him over.
Xiao Yun led the horse over, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he left a message, "If you have any problems, you can always go to Zhou Huan."
Hang Shuheng didn't comment, just looked at him and said, "Take care on your journey."
Xiao Yun nodded, his eyes swept across the faces of the three of them, then turned around and got on the horse, "I'll wait for you in the capital, I believe that day won't be too far away."
After saying this, he flicked his whip and rode away.
"See you later." Chu Fang followed closely.
Chu Er and Chu Shisan also bowed to them and said goodbye, "Mr. Hang, Madam Hang, see you later."
Watching their receding backs, Song Ning felt a little reluctant. It was obviously only the second time they met and they were not very familiar with each other, but she always felt that they were like relatives who had not seen each other for a long time.
At the city gate, Zhou Huan and others had been waiting there for a long time.
When Xiao Yun and his companions arrived at the county town, they did not stay for long. They only told Zhou Huan, "Send someone to the prison to deal with the eldest young master of the Wan family."
That kind of person would be a disaster if he was kept around.
Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement and sent them all the way out of the city before returning.
That night, a dark shadow, like a nighthawk, flew across the night sky of the county town and sneaked into the county jail silently.
The next day, when the jailer was delivering food to the prisoners, he discovered that someone had died. He was so scared that he crawled to the yamen to report to the county magistrate.
In Shangtang Village, Song Ning took Yangyang to visit relatives and brought all the little dolls and snacks he had brought back.
He first went to Shuisheng's house and stayed there for a while, gave him some dolls and snacks, and then took Chen Xiaobao with him to Sun's house.
Ever since Sun family's little Shitou had chickenpox last time, the scabs have all fallen off, but there are still some small scars on his face.
The child has been isolated by his friends whenever he goes out to play recently, so much so that he doesn't like to go out anymore.
First, the Sun family was in trouble because of Xiao Shitou's illness, and then Sun Baomei's engagement was rejected. People felt that the Sun family was in trouble. When other children went out to play, they were always told by their own parents not to go to the Sun family, let alone play with Xiao Shitou, because it would bring bad luck.
How could children judge right from wrong? They would just do whatever the adults told them to do and would gather together to isolate the small stone.
"Shi Tou, I brought you something delicious."
As soon as he entered the Sun family's gate, before he saw anyone, Yangyang started shouting at the top of his voice.
When Little Shitou heard the noise, he ran out of the house in surprise, "Yangyang, are you here to play with me?" He only realized now that he hadn't seen Yangyang for a long time.
In the past, he would have rushed over eagerly, but he didn't do that at the moment. These days, he felt rejected and avoided by other friends, which made him extremely sensitive.
He longed to play with his friends, but was afraid of seeing their disdain for him, so he hesitated to move forward.
Yangyang had no idea that there were so many twists and turns in his mind. He held Chen Xiaobao in one hand and grabbed a small puppet in the other and ran over.
"I brought a new friend to play with you. He is Brother Xiaobao."
Chen Xiaobao would come to the village with his parents every morning, and would return to the county town after finishing work in the evening. For so many days, he had been staying at Shuisheng's house and playing with Mudun, not daring to run around. Today was the first time he came out to play with others, and the young master brought him along.
