Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 247 Delivering Love Letters

The evil bandits in Longgou Village had long been wiped out by the government troops and no one mentioned them anymore. In addition, the town was remote and information was cut off. Mayor Yang's move was not only to repay Xiao Zhixue's kindness, but also to let everyone remember this heroine forever.

Xiao Zhixue knew this very well, but she did not blame Mayor Yang. After all, she was about to leave, time would dilute everything, and her name would slowly be forgotten by people.

At lunch and dinner time, the chef specially prepared tables of exquisite and delicious dishes for everyone.

Xiao Zhixue took a bite and found that compared with the casual dishes before, today's dishes were obviously made with more effort. They were rich and delicious, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

Looking at the satisfied expressions of everyone while enjoying the food, a long-lost smile of satisfaction finally broke out on the chef's face.

Xiao Zhixue specially called the chef over and praised him highly.

The chef was flattered and almost jumped for joy, his cheeks flushed all the way to his ears.

The next morning, the chef got up early and made pies and buns by himself, and brought them to Xiao Zhixue. "I prepared this especially for you. Take it with you on the road. Don't go hungry."

Xiao Zhixue was very pleased with the chef's attentiveness. She took out twenty copper coins from her space ring and handed them to him, "We can't eat your food for free. Take this money."

Seeing this, the chef waved his hands and refused, "How can this be? This is what I should do, and it is also to make up for my previous recklessness. If you give me money, it will make me embarrassed."

Seeing the chef's determined face and an unquestionable light in his eyes, Xiao Zhixue smiled helplessly but warmly, and gently put the coins in her hand back into her sleeve. There was a bit of delicate consideration in that action.

After breakfast, golden sunlight shone through the window lattices onto the quaint wooden table. In the warm atmosphere, everyone began to pack their bags and prepare to embark on a new journey.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation for the unknown road ahead and a hint of subtle nervousness. Backpacks were carefully checked again and again to ensure that nothing necessary was left out.

Outside the door, three simply decorated carriages had parked steadily under the guidance of the waiter. Morning dew was still hanging on the wheels, reflecting the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming journey.

After a night of silence, the luggage in the car still remains in the same state as it was placed last night, as if quietly waiting for the journey to begin.

Inside and outside the inn, the innkeeper and the waiters all stopped what they were doing and gathered at the door, smiling with sincere blessings in their eyes.

Such a scene makes people feel warm in their hearts, as if telling those who are leaving: no matter where you go, this is your warm harbor.

Following a clear shout, everyone boarded the carriage in order, the wheels started slowly, and it drove slowly out of Nanping Town.

The townspeople seemed to have received some invisible call and spontaneously walked out of their homes, automatically lined up on both sides of the road, and quietly watched these passers-by leave.

There was envy and blessing in their eyes, but more importantly, they were silent prayers for a safe journey.

The carriage went farther and farther away. Xiao Zhixue tightly grasped the yellowed map in her hand, her eyes following the winding lines, firmly pointing in the direction of Nanchong City.

Although the journey was long and unknown, fortunately they did not encounter any inspections by government troops along the way, so they no longer had to worry about various disguises and cover-ups, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and relief.

She leaned lightly against the slightly bumpy wall of the carriage, closed her tired eyes, and tried to find a moment of peace in her troubled mind.

However, when she closed her eyes, what emerged in her mind was Fan Yanmu's resolute face and the war on the border. Worry surged like a tide, and she couldn't help but pray silently, hoping that he would be safe and sound in that turbulent place.

As for the episode of Jiuer delivering the message, she had already told Fang Weiyi frankly, and that conversation still left her with mixed feelings.

Fang Weiyi listened to Xiao Zhixue's story, and the complexity in his heart was beyond words.

Jiuer, the bird that he had carefully nurtured and regarded as his best friend, has now become a messenger of love letters, and the recipient is actually his secret rival in love.

He originally wanted to use Jiuer as a medium to quietly narrow the distance between him and Xiao Zhixue, but he never thought that not only did the distance not get narrowed, but it was widened in a way he had never expected.

A feeling of unwillingness and anger surged in his heart, but he forced himself to hold it back and not show any of it in front of Xiao Zhixue. He just angrily transferred his anger to the innocent horse and whipped it, leaving several bright red marks.

The horse felt pain and rushed forward with all four hooves flying, carrying the whole carriage of people like an arrow, breaking the tranquility in the morning light.

Soon, the carriage driven by Lu Li was ahead. He whipped the horse to urge it on. The carriage rumbled and raised dust.

The others followed closely behind, and the team formed a unique landscape in the morning light, heading towards the distance, without looking back.

On the other side of the sky, Jiuer was flying day and night with its indomitable will. It used the information communicated with other birds to get closer and closer to the distant southwestern border military camp.

When it finally approached its destination, the scene before it made its heart skip a beat.

There, it is no longer the tranquility imagined, but a storm of war, with flames and smoke intertwined, heralding endless turmoil.

The interior of the military camp was even more desolate, almost a deserted city, with only a few wounded soldiers barely surviving in the tents.

Jiuer was extremely anxious and shuttled back and forth among the numerous tents, hoping to find that familiar figure. However, Fan Yanmu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and was nowhere to be found.

If this letter, which carries Xiao Zhixue's deep concern, cannot be delivered to him personally, Xiao Zhixue's worries will turn into endless concerns.

Thinking of this, Jiuer became more and more anxious. It resolutely decided that it must find a way to enter the city ahead, even though it was shrouded in war.

Amidst the chaos and smoke, Jiuer went through many hardships and finally found Fan Yanmu fighting a desperate battle with the enemy outside the city gate.

At that moment, it swooped down without hesitation, completely disregarding its own safety.

Fan Yanmu saw a dark shadow passing by, and instinctively drew his sword, ready to meet possible attacks.

Only after he saw clearly that it was Jiuer did he sheath his sword. The tension between his brows gradually relaxed, replaced by a hint of surprise and joy.

"Why is it you?" Fan Yanmu's voice was filled with doubt and a hint of imperceptible tenderness. He reached out to catch Jiuer, letting the little messenger fall safely into his palm.

Jiuer's unexpected visit was like a warm breeze that instantly blew away the haze in Fan Yanmu's heart. All kinds of speculations and hopes caused ripples in his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder, is Xiao Zhixue really here?

Or maybe, because she missed him too much, she let Jiuer take on such a dangerous task alone?

These days, Fan Yanmu has been a fearless warrior on the battlefield. Whenever facing the enemy, his swordsmanship is sharp and he is fearless.
