Chapter 143 Departure
Wen Luozhi sat in the main room, listening to Helian Yue's incessant rambling, nodding repeatedly, "Mmm, I know."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Don't worry, it won't happen.
……
Helian Yue could tell from her shrewd and clever appearance that she must find him too long-winded.
It was getting late, so he decided not to say anything more. He left a few people in the shadows to protect him, so he could leave with a little peace of mind.
The carriage was packed full, and the three of them, dressed better than ordinary people, didn't stand out.
The group watched them board the carriage and saw them off until the carriage completely disappeared into the night.
Wolf Overlord howled twice, its tail drooping behind it, clearly indicating that it was in a bad mood.
Wen Luozhi patted its wolf head with a hint of disdain, "Don't pretend! He's gone, there's still A-Li."
"You're too fat, don't try to walk through the window. It'll embarrass me if your butt gets stuck outside."
Why jump out of the window when there's a door? Does it think it's still as small as it was when it was a puppy?!
When she heard a noise that night, she went out to take a look and found a big, hairy butt sticking out of the window. Mo Li must have had a lot of effort to pull it in.
Because it's so fat! Even when it sits on the ground, a pink little belly sags out!
"If you don't lose weight and keep sneaking bites of pork leg all the time, hmph!"
"Even if you turn into a human, you'll still be a fat ball of flesh!"
She crouched down, grabbed one of Wolf Overlord's ears, and whispered something in its ear.
Wolf Overlord's pupils, which had been lazily vertical, suddenly became round, looking utterly foolish.
"Ooooooo!"
He doesn't want to become a fat blob! He'd be as ugly as Qian Zhaodi from the old house!
Starting tomorrow, it will only eat five meals... oh no! It will only eat three meals a day and it will definitely lose weight!
Xie He heard his low sobs and sighed, "Look, Dou Dou doesn't want them to leave either."
Wen Luozhi didn't care; she couldn't bear to part with it.
Look at this guy, one second he was wailing and the next his eyes were squinting! So heartless!
Wen Zi'an was genuinely happy and had already moved closer to Wen Luozhi.
Hehe, it's been so long since I stood with my sister! Now that guy's gone, he can follow behind her again.
"Little sister, are you going to town tomorrow? To the academy or the dessert shop? Your fourth brother will go with you."
Wen Luozhi looked up at the sky, where a few scattered little stars were visible, suggesting that the weather should be nice tomorrow.
"Fourth brother, you don't need to stay with me tomorrow. We need to discuss the construction at home, and I want to stay home with Dad."
She walked over to Wen Muchuan, took his arm, and said, "I haven't been home with Dad for days, sigh!"
"She misses her dad terribly as soon as she leaves the house."
Wen Muchuan was completely smitten with Xiangxiang's daughter's charms, and he couldn't stop smiling after hearing her words.
He glared at Wen Zi'an and shouted, "Go wherever you want! Don't even think about taking my daughter with you!"
Hmph! My son is so annoying to look at. My sweet baby is so much better. His little mouth is like honey. As his father, he cherishes him dearly.
Wen Zi'an picked at his fingers, looking aggrieved. It wasn't that he wanted his sister to come with him! It was that he wanted to be with his sister…
Helian Yue closed his eyes to rest in the carriage, while Gu Yunqi kept clicking his tongue the whole time beside him.
"Sixth Brother, that was prepared for me by Sister Luo Zhi, you don't need to eat anymore."
Helian Zhiyan poked his arm and protested.
Her favorite dried meat is gone, and now he's eating her second favorite, snowflake crisp.
Gu Yunqi grabbed several more pieces before finally tying up the bundle containing the snacks, but he deliberately left a large hole in it.
This will make it easier to sneak a bite!
Helian Zhiyan felt a pang of heartache seeing him clutching several snowflake crisps in his hand, but then she saw him put down the bundle and let out a sigh of relief.
It's good to let it go, otherwise there might not be anything left tonight.
Just as he saw them off out of Shanquan Village, someone came to pick up Jun Qianzi. He dismounted, handed the whip to the man with the bulging mouth, and instructed him, "It's cool at night, remember to put on a coat."
He patted Gu Yunqi on the shoulder, still feeling a little worried. He was afraid that Gu Yunqi would be so preoccupied with food that he wouldn't even be able to see the road properly while driving the carriage.
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, afraid that if he did, he would have the urge to go to the Southern Wilderness with them.
The carriage clattered along the road, and Helian Yue was still thinking about what Wen Luozhi had told him when he returned in the afternoon.
There are no crops in the southern wilderness. The water source is okay, but the only food they eat is onions, which are expensive to send to the nearest place.
Let alone the criminals exiled there, even the guards probably weren't eating very well.
It's a typical place where you spend a lot of money but don't see much.
He looked at the large bag of various seeds in the box opposite him and gently tapped the small table. He wondered if growing things there would work, and he wanted to go and investigate.
Wen Luozhi was also thinking about this at the moment. Of the three basic necessities of life, she felt that food was the most important.
She had already asked the system; the land there was indeed somewhat barren, but it was still possible to grow some food.
Once we grow them, at least we won't have to worry about food. As for the rest, we can take it one step at a time.
She was stunned when she heard about the prices there. If she could do business there... wouldn't she be able to make a fortune?
[Don't even dream about it, host. Your current savings are barely enough to live comfortably over there; you're nowhere near enough to start a business.]
The system, seeing her wild idea, couldn't help but pour cold water on it, saying that there was only one small town in such a large place as the Southern Wilderness!
Although it's a fairly large place, the items inside are ridiculously expensive, making it extremely difficult to find a place to do business there.
The area is far from the emperor's reach, and the security situation is extremely poor; even business owners are afraid of being robbed.
Wen Luozhi snorted coldly. The more impossible something seemed, the more determined she was to do it! She was just so stubborn!
No money? Not a chance!
She's a wealthy woman who owns a mine filled with countless gems!
That would be enough to open up another small town in the Southern Wilderness!
However, only Wolf Overlord knows about what's happening at the mine right now, because when she and Helian Yue were talking under the tree, that guy was actually hiding behind the gate, secretly watching and listening!
Wolf Batian felt a chill on the back of its neck. When it looked up, it met Wen Luozhi's sinister gaze.
It tucked its tail between its legs, intending to jump out of the window, but then, fearing it might get its rear end stuck, it jumped up, opened the door, and ran out.
That look in their eyes, like they were about to kill a wolf to silence it!
He ran to Mo Li's door and scratched at it with his wolf paws.
Mo Li heard it scratching at the door, got up and opened it. Wolf Batian rushed into the room, jumped onto his bed, and lay down on its back, taking up more than half of the small bed.
It stretched and snored contentedly.
Mo Li tiptoed onto the bed, lay down next to it, and fell into a sweet sleep while holding it.
