A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 272 Arriving Home

Because of this little incident, they hurried as fast as they could but still failed to reach Tanzhou City. This was the first time they had to sleep in the wilderness in so many days.

After Chu Er had dealt with everything, he quickly caught up with them. The group lit a fire in the woods in the suburbs and ate some dry food.

During the journey, Xiao Yun was always worried about letting Yangyang down, and he kept slowing down his pace, fearing that he would not be able to bear it if he drove too fast. But after so many days of continuous driving, the child did not show any sign of fatigue at all, as if he was just enjoying the journey as if he were traveling.

Xiao Yun was not wrong. For Yang Yang, this journey was like a self-driving tour in later generations, except that the means of transportation was replaced by a horse-drawn carriage.

To Yangyang, tonight's camping in the wilderness was like camping in the future. He had no problem adapting to it and was even a little excited. He had always wanted to go camping, but his mother was always busy with work and never had the chance to take him.

After spending a night in the woods, they set out for Tanzhou City early the next morning.

We found an inn, had breakfast, and replenished some dry food for the journey, then set off again.

Yangyang was still thinking about exchanging silver bills, so he urged Chu Shisan to help him exchange the silver bills. He himself took some scattered copper coins and silver coins and went with Chu Er to buy food.

Because his uncle just told him that they would be able to go home today, and he wanted to buy gifts for his parents and friends.

Because Yangyang suddenly felt like going shopping for gifts, he took a break from traveling. He was already at the doorstep of his home, so an hour or two wouldn't matter. At the latest, he could reach Shangtang Village by this evening.

The so-called gifts bought by the little guy, besides some dolls that good children like, were all kinds of cakes, snacks and nibbles, all of which he had never seen in the county.

He bought a lot of things, big and small, all with the copper coins and small change in his purse. He would get angry with anyone who dared to pay.

After buying the things, Yangyang returned to the inn with satisfaction. After a simple packing, the group got on the carriage and started their journey.

Chu Shisan handed the silver he had exchanged at the money shop to Yangyang. The little guy folded it with a smile and put it in his purse, looking like a real money-grubber.

The last leg of the journey could not be considered a hurried one. Estimating the time, it would definitely take time to reach Pingyang County by noon. It would be better to slow down and get back to Shangtang Village before dusk.

We had lunch at a roadside stall beside the official road. After a short rest, we continued our journey.

Originally, according to Zhou Ting's estimation, Xiao Yun and others would be able to arrive at Shangtang Village in the afternoon. Therefore, Zhou and his son had already arrived at the Hang family at noon and were waiting with Hang Shuheng and his wife.

But they didn't know that a small accident with the bandits on the road prevented them from entering the city last night. After entering the city this morning, they were delayed in buying food and Yangyang suddenly wanted to go shopping for gifts, which took some time.

Song Ning waited from noon until mid-afternoon. He didn't know how many times he had gone out to look in the direction of the village entrance, but still no one came back.

Seeing how anxious she was, Hang Shuheng found something for her to do. "A Ning, don't worry. Maybe something delayed you on the way. Go and prepare dinner first. Make the meal ready so that your son can have food to eat when he gets home."

"Yes! You're right. I'll go cook now." Song Ning nodded seriously, turned into the yard, and started to prepare dinner.

When Zhou Huan and Zhou Ting, father and son, saw Song Ning busying around, they couldn't help but admire Hang Shuheng.

"Shuheng, you still have a solution!"

Their persuasion and comforting failed to calm her down, but made her even more anxious. Hang Shuheng used only a few words to divert her attention and keep her busy, so that she could temporarily forget her anxiety.

Hang Shuheng looked at Song Ning's busy figure, then glanced outside the gate, and silently said to himself, I hope I won't be delayed too long by anything.

Song Ning was busy for an entire afternoon and prepared a sumptuous dinner. It was almost evening, but the people who were supposed to return had not yet returned. Now that she had some free time, she began to get anxious again.

"Why haven't they arrived yet? Could something have happened on the way?" She went from looking forward to her children's return home to worrying about their safety.

Zhou Huan advised, "Shuheng's wife, don't let your imagination run wild. The master would not go out without preparation. Don't worry, nothing will happen. At most, he will be delayed by something."

Song Ning really wanted to refute. Wasn't there any preparation when that person went out last time? Didn't he end up half dead just the same way? If he hadn't been lucky enough to die and had been found and rescued by them, the grass on his grave would probably be very tall by now.

But she couldn't say such unlucky and unfriendly words. After all, this time, Yangyang was with that person!

"But it's getting dark and the food is getting cold. It's really frustrating."

Song Ning was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the yard, and from time to time he walked out of the gate to look towards the village entrance. The sky was gradually getting dark.

Hang Shuheng sighed when he saw this, not knowing how to comfort her, "Aning, don't scare yourself, nothing will happen."

"I don't want to be like this, but I can't control my anxiety!"

As the sky gradually darkened, Song Ning's already restless heart became even more anxious.

Suddenly, Zhou Ting stood up abruptly and said, "It seems like there is the sound of horse hooves." He knows martial arts and his hearing is sharper than theirs.

Uncle Chai Wu, who was sitting under the eaves, also stood up and said, "It's the sound of horse hooves."

Upon hearing this, Song Ning ran out the door, and Hang Shuheng also chased after him. This impetuous daughter-in-law really made him worry.

It was too dark to see far away, so they ran towards the village entrance. After running for about a few dozen steps, they could clearly hear the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels.

In the distance, in the gray sky, there was a vague moving shadow coming towards them, getting closer and closer, until the outline of the carriage gradually became clear in their eyes.

Chu Shisan, who was driving the carriage in the front, had already seen the couple who were looking forward to seeing each other. He turned around and said to the carriage, "Yangyang, your parents are here to pick you up."

When Yangyang heard the words "Daddy and Mommy", he could no longer sit still. He nimbly lifted the curtain and leaned out, shouting to his parents who were waiting eagerly: "Daddy, Mommy."

Chu Shisan was afraid that he would lose his balance, so he protected him with one hand and pulled the reins with the other to slowly stop the carriage.

Xiao Yun then came out of the carriage, carried Yang Yang down, and then put him down.

As soon as Yangyang's feet touched the ground, he ran towards his father and mother. At the same time, when Song Ning saw that little figure, she could no longer control the tears in her eyes and let them burst out.
