Chapter 936: Tour
“We now have an important position on our shoulders. We can’t tour the great rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty while guarding a city, but when we resign and return to our hometown, we should also go and see these great rivers and mountains so that our lives won’t be in vain.”
Su Hua was very supportive. He felt that Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao should go and take a look.
“Brother Hua makes sense. Father, Mother, go with Xiaolu. Have fun. If you wait a few more years, you really won’t be able to walk. When the time comes, you won’t be able to go even if you want to.”
Su Chong felt that it made sense, so he immediately expressed his support.
Lin Yaoyao and Sun Baoqian did not object, and they had never thought of objecting.
When their children were very young, Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang did their best and helped them a lot. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao never provoked anything. How could they be disrespectful to such good in-laws?
“Grandpa, Grandma, just go with Aunt. You can still walk now. If you don’t go now, you’ll definitely regret it in the future.”
Su Huaian also interrupted. He was the youngest grandson in the family and was in his early twenties. He was at his prime and always wanted to travel around, so he supported Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to see the rivers and mountains.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at each other and were tempted.
They were getting old. As they aged, divine medicine was useless. They knew the changes in their bodies the best. They knew that they would not live as long as immortals. They had already lived a long life. How many more years did they have?
They could still walk now, but in a few years, their bodies would deteriorate year by year. In a few years, they wouldn’t be able to walk even if they wanted to.
The couple had known each other for many years. With a look, they knew what the other party was thinking. They both wanted to go, but they did not know martial arts or any mystic techniques. In the current world, they were worried that they would cause trouble for Su Xiaolu and that she would have a hard time. After all, they were old. If they followed, they would be a burden and a weakness.
“Father, mother, it’s decided. I’ll prepare the carriage tomorrow.”
Su Xiaolu did not give them a chance to hesitate. She went forward and held Madam Zhao’s wrist. Before she could speak, she said, “When I came, my sister specially prepared a lot of dry food for us to eat on the way. There’s a lot of it. It’s enough for us to eat for a year and a half. We’ll rest when we’re tired. When we see a lake, I’ll catch fish for Father and Mother to roast. In the forest, I’ll catch hares, pheasants, and so on to roast.”
“If we’re tired of roasting it, we’ll stew it in a clay pot. We’ll eat all the way from south to north, north to west, then west to east. Finally, we’ll come back.”
Su Xiaolu leaned against Madam Zhao affectionately. She wanted to bring her parents around the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Madam Zhao’s eyes were slightly red, and Su Sanlang was also very moved. Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand tightly and said seriously, “Alright, let’s go with Xiaolu.”
Su Yang and the others began to clap.
It took a lot of courage for Su Sanlang to make this decision.
Su Xiaolu smiled. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao felt warm in their hearts.
“Father, Mother, Xiaolu, don’t worry. Brother Hua and I will prepare the carriage.”
Su Chong patted his chest.
Su Xiaolu agreed readily. “Okay, thank you, Big Brother and Second Brother.” This trip was decided.
At night, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao fell asleep. Neither of them could fall asleep for a long time. “Darling, what are you thinking about?”
Su Sanlang asked gently.
Madam Zhao replied, “I thought about it a lot, but I didn’t think it was important.”
Su Sanlang smiled. “Me too. I was thinking that if we were in danger, Xiaolu definitely wouldn’t be in danger without us. She’s so powerful.”
“If we really get into danger, then I’ll go first. If possible, you must be safe.”
This was his answer after thinking about it seriously. If there was a chance, he still hoped that Madam Zhao could live.
Madam Zhao was caught between laughter and tears. “Sanlang, I’ve lived enough in this life. Chong and Hua are all capable, and our families are happy. It’s the same for our daughter. We don’t have any regrets, so if there’s really any danger, let’s not leave each other behind, okay?”
Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand tightly and nodded calmly. “Okay.”
They had accompanied each other for their entire lives and they did not want to be separated. If that day really comes, they leave together.
Su Sanlang gently hugged Madam Zhao. They were old and did not sleep much.
Now that they were free, no one urged them to sleep early. They did not speak. The two of them were quiet, and only the sound of even breathing could be heard in the night.
Three days later, Su Chong and Su Hua prepared the carriage.
The carriage was covered with mats and a wool carpet. It was very soft and comfortable. It was comfortable to sit and sleep on it.
Some bedding and clothes could also be kept inside.
Su Xiaolu put more things into the meson space.
Su Xiaolu was naturally the coachman.
They set off.
The entire family sent them to the entrance of Wuzhou.
Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang were not calm. They looked back through the small window of the carriage. When they could no longer see, the two of them sat back in the carriage. They could not calm down for a long time.
Su Xiaolu slowly drove the carriage and looked at the scenery by the roadside. Her mood was getting different.
As she spoke to Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s moods quickly improved.
A few hours later, Su Xiaolu found a place near the official road to rest.
There was no lake, but there was a small stream. It was not bad to find some mountain crabs
They had crab soup for dinner.
It was not cold, and they could rest on the grass at night.
The stars twinkled in the sky. It was so enjoyable to lie down and look at the stars.
Every time they arrived at a new place, they went to eat its specialties and see the local scenery.
As they walked, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were completely immersed in this long trip.
It was a waterfall that fell from the cliff. Half of the fog merged into the clouds in the sky. It was really shocking.
Under the waterfall were all kinds of fruit trees. There were a few straw huts in this wild mountain, and no one lived there anymore.
Su Xiaolu had stayed here with Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao for a few days. They had been out for a month by now.
At this moment, the fruit was ripe. It was just right to eat them with some meat soup.
Su Xiaolu realized that this place was a monk’s house. It was empty because he was away for training.
Madam Zhao cleaned up the straw hut, and Su Xiaolu left some divine medicine as payment.
After staying here for five days, they set off again.
During this long journey, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao became happier and happier. They did not encounter anything they were worried about, so they devoted themselves to traveling and looked forward to where they would go next.
In order to let them have the best experience, anyone who targeted them was stopped three miles away. Su Xiaolu was already at the late-stage Golden Core realm and her cultivation and strength could not be underestimated. Whoever dared to come would have a death wish..
