Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 360 Survivors

It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and there was still a lot of things to do at home, so Qu Shaoyang and his wife were anxious to go home.

So on the second day after Qu Shaoyang rushed back to Kuandian, the couple took their children and led a group of followers and set off back.

Before leaving, Doctor Chen and Mrs. Li packed a lot of things.

Basically, it is like the carriage pulls the goods back in the same way it pulled them in, except that the load is different.

The return journey took seven or eight days, and on the afternoon of the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, we finally arrived back at Maoer Mountain.

The trip took almost a month, including the trip there and back.

When they got home, Qujiang's wife had already finished her confinement.

Qu Laokouer and Chen Shi haven't seen their two grandsons for such a long time, and they miss them very much.

The same goes for Shuanzhu and Xiaofeng. Ever since Gensuo left home, the two kids go to the west yard to look for their nephew every day.

Seeing their son, daughter-in-law and grandson come back, the old couple were extremely happy. One hugged Gensuo and the other hugged Genyou, cherishing their precious children like their dearest ones.

Old Qu hugged his grandson and had to ask his son about the Chen family's wedding.

Qu Shaoyang told his old father about the scene of his two uncles getting married. After hearing it, Qu Laokouer was also deeply moved.

Back in my hometown, no matter how rich you are, you wouldn't dare to hold a wedding like this. How can you live like this?
Of course, Qu Laokouer could only ponder these words in his heart but did not dare to say them out loud.

I am not in my hometown now, so I cannot use the standards of my hometown to judge things.

It is very tiring to go out in the winter. Both adults and children are exhausted. Qu Shaoyang wants to lie down on the kang and rest immediately.

But there were a lot of things going on at home, and Jiang Chunfu and Xingjia were both anxious to report.

There was no other way, so Qu Shaoyang told Chen Xiuyun to have a good rest while he went to the front hall to handle things.

"Sir, a few days ago, a few people came to our house, saying that they came from Shuangdianzi and came to look for Meng Lanjun."

After Jiang Chunfu and Xingjia reported recent events at home, Xingjia suddenly remembered this matter and quickly told Qu Shaoyang.

Qu Shaoyang was stunned when he heard this. The people who were looking for Meng Lanjun should be from Sandaimiaoling.

If that's the case, there really are survivors in Sandaomialing Village besides Meng Lanxin.

"Where is the person? Where is he? He hasn't left, right?" Qu Shaoyang asked hurriedly.

"No, the master is not at home, I dare not make the decision on my own, and I dare not let Miss Meng from the East Courtyard know.

I have settled them in the inn and told them that you will be back in a few days, so we can talk about it when you come back."

The Xing family has been acting more and more prudently in recent years, and has really become like the chief steward.

Those people came to find Meng Lanjun, but there was no Meng Lanjun in the Qu family, only Meng Lanxin.

Meng Lanxin is about to become Qu Shaoyang's second wife. At this time, who would dare to let Meng Lanxin meet those people without knowing it?
What if Meng Lanxin sees an old acquaintance and doesn’t want to stay in Qu Mansion anymore, and wants to follow that person?

Qu Shaoyang is not at home, and the Xing family dare not take the risk.

So they settled those people in the inn, provided for them well, and asked them to wait for a few more days until Qu Shaoyang came back before taking any action.

"Xingjia, please send someone to the inn to find those people so I can see who they are."

Qu Shaoyang also wanted to know how many people in Sandaimiaoling escaped the disaster, so he immediately arranged for people to go to the inn.

Xingjia responded and sent everyone in the mansion to the inn.

After a while, five or six young men were seen following Xingjia into the front hall.

"Tiezhu, Tieniu, Junshan, oh, it's great that you are all okay."

When Qu Shaoyang saw the other person, he was indeed from Sandaimiaoling, and he immediately said happily.

"Shaoyang, it's really you. Oh, we saw the notice and found the big house at Tanghekou. The owner told us to go to Maoershan to look for someone.

We guessed at the time that it was you who saved Lan Jun, and it turned out to be true."

Zheng Tieniu, this idiot, shouted in surprise after seeing Qu Shaoyang.

"Tie Niu, you should call him Sir Qu, you can't call him by random names."

Zheng Tiezhu was a little slow and failed to stop his brother, so he quickly pulled him and reminded him.

They had been in Maoer Mountain for a few days. While staying at the inn, Zheng Tiezhu asked people about many things.

It was also at that time that they found out that the man who went up the mountain with them to chase deer last year was actually the Yalu River Inspector, and this year he was promoted to the General Manager of Wood Tax, an eighth-rank official.

Zheng Tiezhu was not as reckless as his brother. After pulling Zheng Tieniu to his side, he hurriedly led everyone to pay their respects. "I greet Lord Qu."

"Hey, Brother Tiezhu, look at what you are doing?
We are old acquaintances, and I didn't mean to lie to you. After all, that place is not under my jurisdiction, so there is no need to do that."

Qu Shaoyang took two steps forward and held Zheng Tiezhu to prevent him from performing the salute.

"Brother Tiezhu, Tieniu, Brother Junshan, Lan Jun is here with me now.

I think you have heard something. It was me who led the men to defeat the Zhan Dongshan gang. At least it was revenge for the people in our village.

Lan Jun was thinking about the people who escaped at that time, so she posted a notice on Dianzi Street, hoping that you would come to find her if you saw it. "

As Qu Shaoyang spoke, he asked someone to go to the East Courtyard and invite Meng Lanxin over.

Here, Qu Shaoyang invited Zheng Tiezhu and others to sit down, ordered people to bring tea and snacks, and talked with Zheng Tiezhu and others.

Not long after, Meng Lan came in anxiously from outside.

"Shaoyang, I heard someone is coming to Sandaomiaoling."

Meng Lan was anxious. She just stepped into the front hall and asked loudly before she saw who was sitting in the room.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zheng Tiezhu and others who were sitting in the room all turned their heads to look at the door.

But they did not see Meng Lanjun, but only saw a tall girl wearing a lake blue satin cloak coming in from outside.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, the voice sounded very much like Meng Lanjun's, but how come it was a girl who came in?

"Lan Xin, come quickly. Brother Tie Zhu, Tie Niu, and Jun Shan are all fine. They are here to see you."

Qu Shaoyang waved towards Meng Lanxin and said with a smile.

At this time, Meng Lanxin also saw clearly the person sitting in the room.

"Brother Tiezhu, Tieniu, Junshan, Brother Dafu, Brother Chunsheng, Brother Qingming, are you all alive?

Oh, that's great, I thought you were all in trouble." Meng Lanxin was so excited that she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zheng Tiezhu and others didn't quite understand the situation. They stared at the girl in front of them with wide eyes and open mouths.

Lan Xin? Who is Lan Xin? What is her relationship with Lan Jun? Why do they look so similar?

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, um, Lan Xin is Lan Jun.

Grandpa Meng raised her as a boy, but you didn't see it."

When Qu Shaoyang saw the situation, he roughly guessed what was going on and hurriedly explained it to Meng Lanxin.

"What? Lan Jun is a girl? Is that true? It can't be true?

We have been hunting together and going into the mountains together for so many years, how come I didn't notice it at all?"

Zheng Tieniu shouted with a look of disbelief on his face.
