Chapter 667 - 328 Search_1
As Venus still twinkled on the horizon, Qian Yixiu and the others, along with all the animals of the House of Animals except for Tiaotiao and Xiao Xiao who were about to give birth, had mounted the carriages in the outer courtyard.
After they got on the carriages, they waved goodbye to Qian Sangui, Lady Wu, and Pan Yue who had come to see them off. Even under the faint light of the lamp, one could see that all three of them were in tears.
Qian Yixiu lifted the curtain and whispered consolingly, "Don’t worry, we may see each other again very soon."
Could they really meet again soon? She wasn’t sure herself. Without the internet or mobile phones, she had no idea what the situation was like in the Capital City right now.
The carriage headed for Huaxi Jetty, gradually leaving behind Huaxi Village, Guiyuan, Moonlit Lotus Pond, and the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.
The Little Monk was already waiting for them at the jetty, and everyone boarded the boat in silence.
This boat belonged to the Qian family. After hearing from the Old Monk that they might advance their journey to the capital, Qian Sangui instructed the boatmen to moor the boat at the jetty, ready to set sail at any time.
Sitting by the window of the cabin, gazing at the dawn-lit villages and the overlapping hillocks, Qian Yixiu felt a lingering fear.
She had thought that this trip back home was merely to accompany her mother in search of her memories and to witness the rekindled romance between Father Jiang and her mother. She never expected to go through so many heart-stopping experiences.
