Chapter 197 Return to Dahe Village
Chapter 197 Return to Dahe Village
Early the next morning.
Su Tang released Qi Lingheng from the space early on.
After Qi Lingheng sneaked out of Su Tang's house, he went to his own carriage.
Several guards who were guarding the carriage outside the village chief's yard saw Qi Lingheng who had not returned all night. They just looked at each other and no one spoke. They continued to be on guard around.
These people are guards brought by the Qi family, and they are not curious about the whereabouts of their master.
Not long after Qi Lingheng was released, Su Tang also walked out of the house.
After breakfast today, they are about to set off.
Before leaving, Qi Feng and his friends bought some live poultry from the villagers and took them with them on the road, in order to prepare them for food during the day when camping outside.
After walking for several more days, Su Tang and his party finally arrived at Dahe Village.
Su Tang became excited when she saw Huangyan Mountain where Dahe Village was located from afar.
"Bring me a horse." Since the road was not far, Su Tang planned to ride back first.
"Okay." Qi Lingheng waved his hand, and someone from behind led a horse to Su Tang's side.
"I'll go back with you." Qi Lingheng looked at Su Tang and said.
"Yeah." Su Tang responded, turned over and got on the horse swiftly.
The horse under his belly carried Su Tang to Dahe Village. Behind her, Qi Lingheng, Qi Feng and others also followed closely on horseback.
The horses galloped and the sound of their hooves echoed beside the quiet mountain village.
The farmers working in the fields looked up towards the direction of the sound.
"Are those nobles over there heading to our Dahe Village?"
"Yes, this road here can only lead to our village. What important person is coming?"
The villagers in the fields stood up one after another. Some of them rubbed the mud off their hands and picked up the hoe beside them, saying, "I'll go back and take a look."
"I'll go and see what's going on." Another villager patted the dirt on his hands and rushed to the village with the tools beside him.
Soon, the villagers who were farming in the fields around Dahe Village put down their farm work and rushed to the village.
But they all run on their own two legs, so they are definitely not as fast as horses.
Su Tang and his group soon arrived at the Su family's old house in Dahe Village.
Qi Feng dismounted from his horse and went to knock on the gate of the Su family's courtyard.
Soon an old woman came out. It was Aunt Guan whom Su Tang had bought home before.
"Who is this distinguished person looking for?" Aunt Guan looked at Qi Feng and asked.
"Auntie Guan." Before Qi Feng could answer, Su Tang's voice sounded behind Qi Feng.
Qi Feng moved sideways to make way for Su Tang behind him.
"Miss Su!" Aunt Guan looked at Su Tang for a long time before she recognized her.
Su Tang has changed so much now that her noble attire makes ordinary people dare not look directly at her.
If Su Tang hadn't called Aunt Guan's name, Aunt Guan wouldn't have dared to look at Su Tang closely.
"Aunt Guan, are my father and the others okay?"
Before Su Tang left, Old Man Su and his family had already moved into the valley, and the old house at the foot of the mountain was given to Zhao Shan and his family to live in.
"Okay, the master and his family are all doing well now." Aunt Guan made way at the door to let Su Tang and others enter the yard.
"Hello, son-in-law." Aunt Guan greeted Qi Lingheng. As for Qi Feng and the other two, she just nodded to them. She didn't even remember their names.
"The master and his family are all in the valley now. They rarely go down the mountain on weekdays... Zhao Shan and the others go to the mountains to work during the day." Aunt Guan chattered to Su Tang about family matters.
"Then I'll go to the valley now." Su Tang said after hearing this.
"Oh, good. The master will be very happy to see the young lady. A few days ago, the master said that the food at home is not as delicious as when you were here."
"By the way, Aunt Guan, there will be people coming over here soon. When they arrive, please lead them directly into the mountains." Su Tang thought of the people and the carriages behind and instructed Aunt Guan.
"Yes, okay." Aunt Guan replied.
"Auntie Guan, are there any relatives coming to your house?"
Just as Su Tang was about to leave through the back door with Qi Lingheng and the others, a woman's voice questioning was heard from the front yard.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, my young lady and husband are back." Aunt Guan glanced towards the gate of the courtyard and said to the fat woman outside.
Su Tang looked in the direction of the sight. She also recognized the fat woman. She had gone up the mountain with Su Tang to pick wild vegetables when Su Tang had just come here.
This fat woman is a very nice person. At that time, when some people in the village said sarcastic things about Su Tang, this fat woman would help Su Tang to reply to those people.
"Aunt Zhang." Su Tang greeted the woman.
"Su, Sutang?"
"Yes, it's me." Su Tang smiled at Zhan Yan.
"This, I didn't realize it. After you went out, your whole spirit and spirit are different. The clothes you are wearing also make you look very wealthy." Aunt Zhang is just an ordinary peasant woman. She has no education and can only say this.
She stared at Su Tang in disbelief. The dress Su Tang was wearing was much more beautiful than those worn by the ladies and young ladies in the city.
"I just came back and went to see my dad first. We'll talk when we're free." Su Tang and Aunt Zhang said.
"Oh, okay, you go ahead and do your work." Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand and said.
Seeing this, Su Tang took the reins from Qi Feng and led the horse to the backyard.
Walking all the way into the valley, the road up the mountain was much wider than when she left.
Even if the carriage behind went up the mountain, it had no effect.
When Su Tang left, he left a lot of Qi's soldiers in the valley.
Su Tang and his companions rode their horses up the mountain and soon arrived outside the high wall at the entrance of the valley.
"The master is back!" A man's excited shout came from the high wall.
The gate of the valley was quickly opened, and seven or eight men in shorts ran out.
"Master." Several people half-knelt down in front of Su Tang and Qi Lingheng.
"Get up." Su Tang raised her hand and asked those people to stand up.
"Yes." Everyone was very excited, and someone immediately came forward to help Su Tang and the others lead the horses.
"King Qi." Those people greeted Qi Lingheng.
"Yeah." It can be seen from the way they address each other that these people have really regarded Su Tang as their master. Qi Lingheng is very happy that Su Tang can really conquer these tough guys.
Su Tang and Qi Lingheng handed the horses in their hands to the people coming out of the valley, and the two of them entered the valley first.
The people behind them who had just come out to greet Su Tang and Qi Lingheng had not seen Qi Feng and the others for a long time. They chatted animatedly as they walked into the valley.
"You guys have gained a lot of weight. Is it because you haven't exercised enough?" Qi Yan walked up to a man, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"How is that possible? In addition to our daily exercise, we also have to return to the valley to repair and plant medicinal fields. We have gained weight, but that's just because the food in the valley is much better than before." A man said to Qi Yan.
"Oh, you've made me want to stay in the valley for a while. Tell me, what should we eat for lunch today..." Qi Yan hooked his arm around the man's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Today, it seems to be stewed pheasant..."
Su Tang and Qi Lingheng walked side by side into the valley.
The shouting of the man at the entrance of the valley just now has already spread into the valley.
At this time, not all the people who were busy in the distance rushed to the entrance of the valley. After all, they all had work to do today.
This is the difference between well-trained people and ordinary people.
However, after hearing the news that Su Tang had returned, those people stopped where they were. Until they saw Su Tang and Qi Lingheng, they all stood where they were and half-knelt to salute Su Tang.
Su Tang also waved to everyone in response.
Someone who was working at home heard the news from the entrance of the valley and ran to inform Old Man Su and others.
After all, Old Man Su and the others didn't have time, and they were staying inside the house, so they couldn't hear the messages coming from outside.
Upon receiving the news, Old Man Su and his family had already run out of the house.
"Tangtang!" Old Man Su murmured as he looked at Su Tang who was walking slowly towards him.
Looking at the figure approaching from afar, Old Man Su finally realized something after seeing Su Tang's luxurious clothes.
Su Tang and Emperor Jing finally recognized each other.
When Su Tang walked in front of Father Su, she lifted up her skirt and trotted forward, "Dad! I'm back."
"It's good that you're back." Old Man Su murmured. He did not respond to Su Tang's call of "Dad" as he did in the past.
Su Tang seemed to have noticed something. She grabbed Old Man Su's hand and looked into his eyes seriously. "You raised me. No matter what, you will always be my father."
Father Su smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves and said with a smile, "Let's go back to the house first. We've been traveling for several days, and we must be very tired."
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he looked at Qi Lingheng behind Su Tang, nodded at Qi Lingheng, then turned and entered the wooden house behind him.
The other members of the Su family were also very excited when they saw Su Tang. If Su Tang hadn't built this valley, they would still be living together in the old house at the foot of the mountain.
The current house is not only much bigger than the previous one, but the things inside are also much better than before.
There is also a toilet designed by Su Tang and mountain spring water is supplied to the room, making life more convenient than before.
After a brief greeting, everyone followed Old Man Su back to the house.
After everyone returned to their rooms, Father Su took Su Tang to his room.
When everyone in the Su family saw this, they just thought that Old Man Su hadn't seen Su Tang for a long time, and wanted to talk to Su Tang alone if he had any words of longing.
Old Man Su closed the door, looked Su Tang up and down again, and then he knelt down in front of Su Tang.
"I, a humble commoner, kowtow to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Su Tang didn't expect that Old Man Su was going to kneel down in front of her, and she didn't have time to support him, but she quickly supported Old Man Su's arm and pulled him up, "Dad, didn't I just say that you will always be my dad."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Since the princess has recognized your majesty, I can no longer claim to be the princess's father. You can only have one father."
Su Tang understood what Old Man Su said. She was in Dahe Village now and everyone here belonged to her, so it was okay for them to still call each other father and daughter.
But since Su Tang has already recognized Emperor Jing, Su Tang's father can only be Emperor Jing.
If Old Man Su still regards himself as the princess's father at this time, he will be suspected of wanting to seize power and usurp the throne.
Su Tang no longer forced Su Laodi, but he still said to him: "In my heart, you will always be my father. The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to him. Don't worry, I now have enough ability to keep you and your brothers and sisters-in-law safe.
"I know that you are a princess now, but the relationships in the palace are complicated, so you'd better be cautious." Old Man Su didn't understand what Su Tang meant. He thought Su Tang was talking about her current identity as a princess.
"Dad, there's something I haven't told you." Su Tang pulled Old Man Su to the table and sat down.
"What's the matter?" asked Old Man Su in confusion.
"I'll take you somewhere." Su Tang said, pulling up Old Man Su's arm.
In a trance, the two entered Su Tang's space.
When Old Man Su noticed the changes around him, he looked at the surroundings in surprise.
"this......"
"I am no longer the previous Su Tang. The previous Su Tang should have died after falling into the water. The me now is from this world."
Su Tang took Su Lao Di into the place, which was the medical room in the space.
Afterwards, she explained her situation in detail to Old Man Su.
"No wonder, no wonder your temperament was so different after you woke up." Old Man Su looked at Su Tang without any strange look in his eyes.
He looked at Su Tang lovingly again, "I like you more now. Your personality is much better than your previous cautious and arrogant personality."
"But why don't you live in this world?" asked Old Man Su, looking at the surrounding environment.
In the minds of the ancients, unless there were special circumstances, they would only live in the place where they were born all their lives.
"The space we are in now is just my former workplace. It is just a small area. Besides me, there is no one from my previous world here."
"That's it."
"However, I brought some Qi's troops in. Please come with me to see them."
Su Tang said this and took Old Man Su to change the location again.
They went to the vegetable fields, farms, and training bases in the space.
When seeing those busy people, Old Man Su didn't expect that Su Tang had brought so many people to live in her world.
Finally, Su Tang took Old Man Su to see the weapons in the training base.
"I said that I can guarantee the safety of you and your brother, not because of my status as a princess, but because of the weapons in my hands."
After Su Tang finished speaking, she picked up the weapon in her hand and shot at the target in the distance.
Finally, when the shooting target was brought back, there were many bullet holes on it.
"This is the guarantee of my survival in this world. If anyone bullies us, I will shoot them." Su Tang said, holding the gun in his hand.
"This is amazing." Old Man Su said in surprise as he touched the bullet holes on the metal target.
"Yeah, now you can finally rest assured."
"Well, don't worry, don't worry." Tears welled up in Father Su's eyes again, this time they were tears of emotion. The little Su Tang he raised had finally grown up.
Even though he has changed his heart, her love for him has never changed.
