Chapter 414: Hometown Gathering
The moment they reached home, she immediately darted towards the thatched houses where the old grandpas and grandmas at the cowshed lived at. She brought her small sling bag which contained her herbs and medicines as well.
With this bag, it would be more convenient to take things out of her interspace.
She only saw Zhou Bingsheng and Ke Min who were at the cowshed, cutting the grass. The remaining old grandpas and grandmas were not present.
At the corner was Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin who were laying down with a tattered cotton blanket covered over them. Their breaths were rather weak.
“Yao Yao! You’re back!”
Zhou Bingsheng was stunned to see his little disciple here!
Then, Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin spotted Gu Qingyao and were alarmed. “Yao Yao, why… why are you here? Hurry, leave. Quickly! Don’t let people know that you’re related to us. Run away quickly!”
If people knew that Yao Yao was related to them, maybe she would be caught too!
It would be troublesome then!
Gu Qingyao rushed over. “Teacher, teacher. I’m alright. This is my house. I’m just coming home. Everything is alright already!”
Er…
Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin were dumbfounded!
The couple did not know where Gu Qingyao’s hometown was as they only focused on studying medicine when they were together and never asked much details about her. Afterward, both of them were caught and although Mo Beihan had been helping them, he had never seen them in person before.
Thus, Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin were unaware that the place they were at was Gu Qingyao’s hometown and all the more did not know that they could come here all because of this little disciple!
Gu Qingyao elaborated, “Teacher, I went to your place the other day and saw that the house was in a wreck, so I knew that something had happened. I asked my friends to look into it. Brother Beihan and my third uncle tried to find ways to send you all here, as rescuing you all directly was too risky. We happened to know that both of you may be sent to the countryside so they thought of ways to send you to the Qing River Brigade.
“My family lives here and this is my hometown. The people who treated you two yesterday are my grandfather and father. I will take care of you two in the future. The people here are very nice and so is the brigade leader. You can put your mind at ease and stay here peacefully.”
After explaining, Gu Qingyao checked Jiang Yiru’s injuries and talked to Zhou Bingsheng.
“Teacher, this is also my teacher. I’m learning medicine from her and I got to know her from the provincial capital.”
She then introduced Zhou Bingsheng to Jiang Yiru. “This is also my teacher who became my teacher when I was very young. I’m learning calligraphy and painting from him.
“There’s more! There are many grandpas and grandmas here! Most of them are very knowledgeable and I’ve learned from them since young. Apart from Teacher Zhou, I’ve not officially become the apprentice of the others, but I learned a lot of skills like embroidery, foreign language and even etiquette from them! Many textbooks taught me many things too. I grew up around them since young.”
Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin exchanged a look and then looked at Zhou Bingsheng and Ke Min. They really did not expect this.
Zhou Bingsheng chuckled after hearing it. “So that’s the case! It seems that you’re one of us.”
Ke Min also welcomed them with a smile while cutting the grass. “You two can live here without worries. Just like what I said previously, the people here are relatively nice and the brigade leader is a very good person, too. He scolds us sometimes, but it’s just an act for outsiders to see. He never stirs trouble for us without reason.
“You believe my words now that Yao Yao is back, right? Recuperate well because you will have to labour to earn work points at the start of spring next year.”
