Chapter 301: The Reunion
🕑 Added 2024-10-07 06:57:39 +0000 UTCAfter all, the Mo family had plenty of servants, and there was no need for a nearly starved little beggar to do any work.
So, during the first few days after Baojian entered the Mo residence, although he didn’t starve to death, life wasn’t particularly good either.
Of course, this was from Mo Yuanjiao's perspective.
For Baojian, who had experienced extreme hunger, having something to eat was already the greatest happiness.
As for being bullied, isolated, or used as a punching bag by those servants, none of that mattered to him.
Naturally, where there were bullies among the servants, there were also those who were kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to watch. However, they were helpless as well because those bullies were the children of the more influential servants in the residence, and no one dared to provoke them.
What those bullies didn’t expect was that a few days later, Mo Yuanjiao still remembered the little beggar he had brought back and suddenly came to the servants' quarters to see if he had recovered a bit.
It was then that he discovered the person he had brought back had been bullied to such an extent.
Mo Yuanjiao was furious and almost tore down the entire servants' quarters of the Mo residence.
Fortunately, Madam Mo intervened and decisively punished those bullying servants severely, using this incident to make an example out of them for the other long-serving servants in the residence, thus putting an end to the matter.
At that time, Mo Yuanjiao appeared to Baojian like a god.
From that moment on, he swore to be completely devoted to his young master.
His young master was the best young master in the world.
With the spirit boat and the continuous supply of spirit stones, the Mo family quickly reached Songyang County.
Since Tong Jialiang was there, Mo Yuanjiao wanted the cousins to meet as soon as possible and also planned to bring him to Xiushui Village to see if there was a good method to heal him sooner.
With Mo Yuanjiao controlling the speed of the spirit boat, they arrived in Songyang County in the morning, just past breakfast time, making it a good time to avoid disturbing others.
After landing outside the city, Mo Yuanjiao put away the spirit boat, and the group walked into Songyang County.
Fortunately, anticipating the trip, Madam Mo and the old Madam both wore thick-soled shoes; otherwise, just the walk into Songyang County alone would have deformed their feet, accustomed as they were to wearing embroidered shoes at home.
Recently, Qin Mu and Tietou's mother had already explored every corner of Songyang County. Going out had become a routine, and they were no longer as enthusiastic about it.
After breakfast today, they didn’t rush out but took a stroll in the backyard and then went to chat with Han Weishu, talking quite a bit beside Tong Jialiang to let him hear some voices.
These two didn’t seem much older than their own children, and encountering such a situation made them feel quite sorry for them.
Moreover, these children didn’t have much money. When they first came to the escort agency, they were dressed in rags and still wore the same clothes after many days without changing.
As mothers, they usually took good care of them, often buying something for them whenever they saw something on the street.
And upon hearing that these two children were related to the Mo family, they naturally took even more care of them.
At this time, as they were chatting with Han Weishu, a servant came to inform them that a family with the surname Mo had come to visit.
Tietou's mother clapped her hands together in surprise and exclaimed, "Could it be Yuanjiao? He’s been gone for a long time. Let’s go, let’s go and see."
When Mo Yuanjiao was in Lingxian Sect, his sweet-talking nature and lively personality made him well-liked by the elders. Despite being a young master from a prestigious family, he had no airs or bad temper, earning him a lot of goodwill. Saying this, she pulled Qin Mu along and then asked Han Weishu, "Han girl, the master of Tong's family has arrived. Do you want to come along and meet them?"
Having lived together for so many days, seeing each other all the time, and with both Qin Mu and Tietou's mother being cultivators, Han Weishu couldn’t hide her gender from them, and she didn’t intend to. Now, all the disciples from Lingxian Sect living in the rear courtyard of the escort agency knew her true identity.
Upon hearing this, Han Weishu hesitated and glanced at Tong Jialiang, worried. "I... Could you please greet them on our behalf? I’m worried about leaving him alone."
When they found Tong Jialiang in the mine, his hopeless gaze was terrifying. Han Weishu had always feared that leaving him alone would lead to some mishap, so she never left his side.
Tietou's mother, understanding Tong Jialiang’s condition, nodded and said, "You're right. You stay here, and we'll go ahead and greet them."
With that, she and Qin Mu hurriedly went to the front of the escort agency.
Because there were quite a few people, it wasn’t appropriate for everyone to crowd into the escort agency at once. Thus, only Mo Yuanjiao, Madam Mo, the old Madam, and Baojian entered.
The remaining servants and guards waited outside the escort agency.
Qin Mu and Tietou's mother, seeing the familiar Mo Yuanjiao, were overjoyed and led the group to the rear courtyard.
After formally meeting with the old Madam and Madam Mo, and confirming that they were staying at the escort agency, they cheerfully arranged accommodations for them.
Mo Yuanjiao then instructed Baojian to go out and arrange for the waiting servants and guards to stay at a nearby inn before returning.
After everyone had settled down, and Baojian had arranged for the others to stay at the inn, Tietou's mother led Mo Yuanjiao and Baojian to see Tong Jialiang and Han Weishu.
Originally thinking that Tong Jialiang’s lack of response and trance-like state were not too serious, Baojian was suddenly struck by a pang of sadness when he saw the hollow-eyed, emaciated figure with sunken eyes that Tong Jialiang had become.
He glanced at Mo Yuanjiao and, receiving a nod of approval, approached Tong Jialiang, squatting in front of him at the bedside.
“Jialiang, Jialiang?”
Seeing that he didn’t respond to his call at all, Baojian felt a sting in his heart.
He gently squeezed the bony hand of Tong Jialiang and, with a hoarse voice, said to Han Weishu beside him, “Thank you, Miss, for taking care of my cousin…”
Mo Yuanjiao then spoke up, “I plan to take him back to Xiushui Village afterward to see if any of my senior brothers there can help with his treatment.”
He paused and looked at Han Weishu, clearly seeking her opinion.
After all, the young lady had taken care of Tong Jialiang alone for so long; it wouldn’t be right to take him away for treatment without consulting her.
Catching the look in Mo Yuanjiao's eyes, Han Weishu frowned and asked, “Are you sure that this Xiushui Village of yours has a way?”
Since all the people in the escort agency from Lingxian Sect wore peach-leaf tokens, she hadn’t noticed that there were cultivators in the escort agency. Moreover, when Han Weishu ran away from home, she didn’t even know about the existence of Lingxian Sect.
