Chapter 83 Where We Belong

Inside the room, Xue Horan sat at the table, staring at the burning candles, and waited for Yongzheng to return. Yongzheng left earlier that day to talk to Dong Shun and Rao Zhengsheng. It was late at night when Yongzheng finally return. Yongzheng closed the door and sat opposite Xue Horan. He reached into his inner robe and handed a letter to Xue Horan.

Xue Horan asked, "What is this?"

Yongzheng said, "It's from Rao Zhengsheng."

Xue Horan opened the letter, with only one sentence on it, asking Xue Horan to meet Rao Zhengsheng in Rao Zhengsheng's room at one in the morning. He looked at Yongzheng and said, "It said to meet da shixiong in his room at one in the morning."

Yongzheng looked at Xue Horan and said, "You can go meet him."

Xue Horan knew that Yongzheng was the type of jealous person who would not express his jealousy publicly. The quieter he is, the more jealous he is. Xue Horan stood up and walked past Yongzheng. He noticed that Yongzheng's brows tightened. He smiled and walked behind Yongzheng. He put his arms around Yongzheng and rested his head on Yongzheng's left shoulder.

Xue Horan said, "If you don't want me to go, you can express it freely."

Yongzheng said, "He is your da shixiong, maybe you have something to talk to him."

Xue Horan kissed his dear Yongzheng on the neck and said, "Yongzheng, let's go home."

Bazar Batu entered the room, opened the door, and Kuo Lok stood naked in front of the bed. Seeing Kuo Lok's muscular body, Bazar Batu opened his mouth wide, and the bowl of medicine fell on the ground.

Kuo Lok said, "Closed the door."

Bazar Batu turned and closed the door. Kuo Lok stretched his hand around Bazar Batu's waist and kissed Bazar Batu's forehead.

Bazar Batu said, "Lok gege, you didn't ask."

Kuo Lok picked Bazar Batu up and said, "Does a husband need permission to made love with his wife?" He lowered his head and kissed Bazar Batu's lips. He carried Bazar Batu to bed. He pulled down the rope, the bed drapes fell, while he still kissing Bazar Batu.

Walking slowly down the gloomy mountain road, Zhu Mingyang held Gu Yingjie's hand tightly.

Gu Yingjie said, "Mingyang, if Zhanjin knows that we left without saying goodbye, he will be mad."

Zhu Mingyang smiled and said, "I don't like saying goodbye. What about chief Gu?"

Gu Yingjie said, "He wants me to meet him this evening, I declined."

Zhu Mingyang asked, "Why?"

Gu Yingjing said, "I know what he wants to say to me. Since I don't agree to return to the Gu Household, there is no reason to see him."

Zhu Mingyang said, "Let's go home." Zhu Mingyang stopped and stared at the two people in front of him.

Yongzheng asked, "How was it?"

Xue Horan said, "Yongzheng, I feel that my sprained ankle is recurring, and it hurts as soon as I press it down."

Yongzheng stood in front of Xue Horan and said, "I will carry you back to the dock."

Gu Yingjie walked to Yongzheng and Xue Horan. He said, "What are you two doing here?"

Yongzheng looked at Gu Yingjie and Zhu Mingyang, and said, "The same reason as you two."

Zhu Mingyang asked, "Where are you two going?

Yongzheng, "We are going home. How about you two?"

Zhu Mingyang said, "We are also going home."

The four of them walked down the mountain road and merged into the main road. Zhu Mingyang said, "We are heading this way." He pointed to his right.

Yongzheng smiled and said, "We are heading that way." He pointed to his left. "Take care."

Zhu Mingyang and Gu Yingjie, "Safe journey back home."

The four heroes parted ways on the night of the full moon and went back to their own homes.

Yong Taihua knocked on the door, walked into the room, and sat at the table opposite Mu Dishi. He looked at Mu Dishi and said, "Shizun, I will get marry in three days."

Mu Dishi said, "I know. Chief Tang told me."

Yan Zhanjin walked in, put the medicine on the table, and pushed it to Mu Dishi. He said, "This will help with your blood circulation. Although you lies to us, since Ma Jingguo decides to help us, then I forgive you."

Mu Dishi took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and pushed it to Yan Zhanjin. Mu Dishi said, "For you."

Yan Zhanjin picked up the box and said, "I would rather you give me gold than this old wooden box."

After drinking the bowl of medicine, Mu Dishi put the empty bowl down on the table. He said, "It may be an ordinary old wooden box, but the contents in it are not ordinary."

Yan Zhanjin turned the box around, "What's in the box?" He opened the box, but it was empty. "Why give me an empty box."

Mu Dishi said, "The treasure that everyone is looking for in Mu Treasure Cave is that box, but not inside the box, it's under the box."

Yan Zhanjin put the box on the table. He frowned, "It just an ordinary box. What is in there anyway?"

Mu Dishi said, "The Mu acupuncture needles technique and the process of how to make the corpse preservation powder."

Yan Zhanjin's lips trembled in excitement, "What..." He quickly picked up the box and carefully checked the bottom.

After a closer look, Yan Zhanjin found a small hole at the bottom. He took out a silver needle, inserted it into the hole, and pressed it, and the bottom of the box fell off. Hidden inside are three neatly handwritten thin sheepskins. He picked up the three thin brown sheets and hugged them happily.

Yan Zhanjin smiled happily, "Aw…Mu Dishi…"

Mu Dishi said, "I have nothing to give you, but there is a small box of money in the bamboo hut under the bed. When you get home, go take it as your wedding gift."

Yong Taihua smiled and said, "Thank You."

Mu Dishi looked at the two of them, "Anything else?"

They shook their head.

Mu Dishi said coldly, "Then you two can leave."

The two chuckled lightly and were about to leave when they heard three knocks outside the door. Mu Dishi raised his head and said, "Cao gongzi."

Yong Taihua said, "We will take our leave now." He grabbed Yan Zhanjin's arm, and the two left the room.

Cao Wenyan said, "Mu gongzi, are you going to stay here?"

Mu Dishi said, "No... I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Cao Wenyan asked, "With Ma Jingguo?"

Mu Dishi nodded.

Cao Wenyan said, "I'm here to say goodbye. After the wedding, I will return to Beixing Sector."

Mu Dishi said, "That's good."

When Ma Jingguo came back, it was already midnight. Ma Jingguo slowly climbed into bed as quietly as possible.

Mu Dishi suddenly said, "You are back."

Ma Jingguo hugged Mu Dishi and said, "Did I wake you up?"

Mu Dishi replied, "No." He stopped. "Are you planning to stay?"

Ma Jingguo kissed Mu Dishi's temple and said, "I have prepared the horse. We will leave tomorrow."

Mu Dishi scoffed quietly, "Good."

Ma Jingguo asked, "Where shall we go?"

Mu Dishi said, "Let's go see my parents, and then we can go north to Tianshan."

Ma Jingguo said, "Aren't we going home?"

Mu Dishi said, "You once told me that Tianshan is also our home. Moreover, we have to bring money to the caretaker."

Ma Jingguo kissed Mu Dishi, "You are right. Tomorrow we are going to Mu Village, after that we will go to Tianshan." He kissed Mu Dishi again. "After that, we can decide where to go next."

Mu Dishi said, "I don't care where we go, your embrace is always my safest home."

Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "The place that have you is the place I call home." He kissed Mu Dishi's forehead. "Goodnight, xiao shushu."
