Chapter 663 - 326: Sow Good Causes, Reap Good Fruits_3
Because it was still snowing lightly, there were no stars in the sky, and Wu Ming lit a torch to illuminate the path down the mountain. It’s easier to ascend than descend, and at every steep stretch, Liang Jinzhao would guide Qian Yixiu through. In this way, they safely made their way down the mountain.
After descending Dashan, they walked for another three quarters of an hour before arriving at Xishi Mountain behind Guiyuan. Red lanterns hung everywhere in front of Guiyuan and on the wilderness in front, even more abundant than during the New Year’s celebrations. The red lanterns, glowing amidst the snow and wind, lit up the area around Guiyuan brightly. One could even see people moving among the lanterns, shaking off the snowflakes that had settled on them.
It must have been Grandfather Sangui who had ordered the lanterns to be hung, not only to light the way home for Qian Yixiu, but also to tell her that her family was eagerly waiting for her at home.
A warm current surged in Qian Yixiu’s heart, bringing tears to her eyes, which she quickly wiped away with her sleeve.
Before they had even descended Xishi Mountain, they heard a cacophony of barking from the direction of Luan Shi Beach—it was Dashan and Tiaotiao. Shan Dian and Yin Feng, upon hearing this, bolted in that direction.
It turned out that the Dashan family had been waiting there all along.
Seeing them, everyone was overjoyed. Apart from Gougou’s White Wolf, Dashan and Tiaotiao both ran up and stood on their hind legs to embrace Qian Yixiu, eliciting giggles from her.
As they reached the area behind Guiyuan, Monkey Brother and several dogs ran and barked along the way. Qian Sangui and Lady Wu, upon hearing the noise, came to the front gate to greet them.
Her mother had not stepped outside, but stood in the courtyard, wiping away tears of emotion.
