Chapter 138 Return home
After a two-and-a-half-hour car ride, Cheng Feng finally saw the familiar road.
Once you get here, you only need to walk along a mountain path to reach Foping County.
After getting off the bus at the station, Cheng Feng walked leisurely towards the mountain road leading to Foping County.
When he arrived at the place where he met with the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, the familiar donkey was grazing by the roadside.
"Chief, you're back!"
"Hmm, nothing much has gone wrong these past two days, right?"
Cheng Feng could guess that this brother had probably been waiting here ever since the day Hei Xiazi and the others returned.
He was deeply moved. Having such subordinates gave Cheng Feng the confidence to travel around freely.
"Everything is normal. Hei Ye and his brothers have been guarding this place these past few days."
During this time, Madam sent someone to deliver a message, but Master Hei said he would wait for you to return and handle it personally.
As they spoke, Cheng Feng and the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect arrived at the donkey cart.
After boarding this old-fashioned mode of transportation, Cheng Feng said:
"Let's go. They've been cooped up in this village for so long, they're probably getting restless."
Then, a disciple of the Unloading Ridge Sect cracked his whip, and the donkey began to pull the cart.
It was only on the slow-moving donkey cart that Cheng Feng truly relaxed.
Lying on the wooden cart.
Along the way, I could hear the birds chirping in the woods on both sides, and the copper bell ringing with every step the donkey took.
Even though the early spring breeze was still a bit chilly, Cheng Feng slept very comfortably.
"Xu~"
As the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stopped the donkey cart, Cheng Feng also regained consciousness.
After getting out of the car, Cheng Feng stretched. With this, the operation could be considered a successful conclusion.
Not only did he take the burial treasures of the Ku Kingdom, he even moved the bronze sacred tree away.
Cheng Feng has no intention of taking the divine tree carved from the meteorite again, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
After obtaining this divine tree, Cheng Feng couldn't help but think of the other pieces of meteorite copper.
Take them all away when you have the chance; leaving these things out here is just asking for trouble.
Perhaps hearing the noise outside, some disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect opened the door and came out.
Upon seeing Cheng Feng, he excitedly said, "Boss...you're back."
There are eavesdroppers in the village, so the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect are always very careful when they speak. This time, they were simply too excited.
They almost exposed Cheng Feng's identity.
The voices of the Xieling disciples startled the people inside the house, and soon Hei Xiazi, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, came out.
"Don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk."
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he walked into the courtyard surrounded by the crowd.
The remaining disciples helped drive the donkey cart into the courtyard, then closed the gate and walked towards the house.
Sitting on the warm earthen bed in the countryside, Cheng Feng listened as Hei Xiazi recounted the events of the past few days.
Besides Chen Wenjin's letter inquiring about the situation, the most important thing is dealing with the aftermath for Old Man Jin.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect gave Old Man Jin's family an additional three times the amount in compensation.
This can be considered as fulfilling Cheng Feng's promise from back then.
With this large sum of money, Old Man Jin's entire family moved to the provincial capital to settle down, which made some people in the village extremely envious.
"What about the three women from the Huo family?"
In response to Cheng Feng's question, Hei Xiazi explained:
“They live in Old Man Jin’s house, and someone is watching them 24 hours a day.”
"Alright, now that we've taken care of the mess here, let the brothers get ready. We'll head home tomorrow."
After Cheng Feng made the decision, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect went to prepare for their departure.
The truck arrives empty, but on its return trip, it will carry some cargo as a cover.
For example, local handicrafts, which can also be considered as finding a source of goods for the shop.
Early the next morning.
Cheng Feng and the others boarded a truck heading back to Qinghai.
After a three-day, one-night journey, we finally returned to Golmud on the morning of the fifth day.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect drove the car to a shop next to the station.
Before Cheng Feng even got out of the car, he saw Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling waiting on the side.
After getting out of the car, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling came to greet them.
"Is everything going well?"
Cheng Feng nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course it went smoothly, and besides the local specialties, I also had some unexpected gains this time."
As Cheng Feng spoke, three listless women got out of the back of the car.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both turned to look at the three women.
"Who are they?"
Soon, two pairs of questioning eyes stared at Cheng Feng and asked in unison.
Cheng Feng pulled the two women aside and then whispered:
"Xiaoling, take a closer look. Are you sure you haven't seen these three women before?"
Huo Ling frowned slightly after hearing this, and then looked at it carefully again.
Finally, he shook his head and said:
"I have no recollection of them. Could they be related to me?"
Cheng Feng nodded.
"There is indeed a connection. We'll discuss the details when we get back; this isn't the place to chat."
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling didn't press the matter further; after agreeing, they began to help register the goods.
After finishing his work at the shop, Hei Xiazi said goodbye and slipped away.
Cheng Feng, however, took three women from the Huo family and went home first.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling still had some trivial matters to handle, so they would be leaving later.
Pushing open the front door, Xiao Hua, whom he hadn't seen for several days, rushed towards Cheng Feng like a madwoman.
After being picked up in one scoop, the big tiger head nestled in Cheng Feng's arms.
"Boss, what exactly do you plan to do with us?"
Throughout the journey, Huo Xin and the other two women were extremely anxious, and no one gave them a clear answer.
And so, I was brought to this remote city in a daze.
"Don't rush, go to the living room and rest for a while. We'll talk about your business when the person in charge comes back."
After calming the enthusiastic little flower down, Cheng Feng placed it on the ground and led the way to the living room.
The three Huo sisters had no choice but to resign themselves to following Cheng Feng, even if Cheng Feng was the only one there.
They couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance; the image of Cheng Feng riding away on a dragon in the Qinling Mountains was still vivid in their minds.
"Please sit down. There's no use being nervous now that you're here. You might as well be more open and relaxed."
The three women thought it made perfect sense. They couldn't rely on Hei Xiazi, and their lives were in his hands, so they might as well relax.
At least their death would appear more tragic.
Perhaps wary of the three women, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling returned not long afterward.
Upon arriving in the living room, the two women sat down on either side of Cheng Feng without saying a word.
"Now you can tell me, how are these three related to me?"
Huo Ling was impatient and asked the question as soon as she sat down.
"Take off your mask before you speak."
Cheng Feng tapped his cheek, indicating that the two women didn't need to hide their true faces from them.
Although the two women were puzzled, they still raised their hands and removed the masks from their faces.
The next second, the three Huo family women suddenly stood up and looked at the two women who had taken off their masks in shock.
"Miss Huo Ling!"
Huo Ling was not surprised when her name was called out. Cheng Feng had reminded her before that these three women were related to her.
"Are you from the Huo family?"
Chen Wenjin asked.
Huo Xin quickly responded, "We grew up in the Huo family, but we rarely appear at home due to special reasons."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin looked at Huo Ling, thinking that it was time for the eldest daughter of the Huo family to play her role.
Huo Ling understood what the two meant and immediately asked them in detail.
The three Huo sisters answered fluently, and Huo Ling confirmed that the three sisters were indeed from the Huo family, and that Huo Ling knew all of their elders.
"Xiaoling, since they are your family members, they are your responsibility."
Cheng Feng chose to be a hands-off manager, and even if he wanted to take responsibility, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling probably wouldn't allow it.
