Chapter 343: Chapter 343: A Narrow Escape Leads to an Unplanned Mother-Son Reunion (5)_1

Zhenzhen nodded gravely, deciding that before going to sleep that night, she would thoroughly contemplate the words her eldest sister had said.

At this time, Yun Zhao stepped down from the table, performed a respectful bow towards Mo Yan, and finally, with affection, patted his younger sister on the head. He said nothing, but the gloom in his eyes seemed to dissipate somewhat.

Mo Yan was startled and hadn’t expected that a bunch of random banter could yield such a result, which pleasantly surprised her.

This time, everyone was stuffed and didn’t dare to walk around in the courtyard to digest the food, fearing it would cool their stomachs and lead to indigestion. Instead, they paced several rounds inside the house until they felt less bloated, and only then did they soak their feet in hot water and retire to their own rooms for the night.

Only when they were back in the small courtyard with one person, three beasts, and a bird did Maomao remember its mission. It called out to Mo Yan, extending its paw to reveal the message cylinder tied to its leg.

Mo Yan scratched her head, having completely overlooked that she had yet to reply, when yet another letter from Xiao Ruiyuan had arrived. Upon opening the cylinder and unfolding the letter, she saw the same seven words repeated eighty-one times and was deeply moved to tears!

Even if he had nothing to say to her, at least he could have written about the scenery along the way, she thought. She couldn’t believe he didn’t have the time or energy! No time, yet he managed to write the same seven words eighty-one times? No energy, yet he was obsessed with the issue of not writing or replying to her letters?

Mo Yan brooded for a while and eventually opened the drawer, retrieving the reply she had written the previous night. Considering that person’s unusual persistence and thought processes, she added one final sentence explaining why she hadn’t replied: "The letter wasn’t done when Maomao flew off."

Outside, unaware of being blamed, Maomao engaged in a skirmish with the three beasts, and by the time it rushed into its master’s embrace, dusty and exhausted from flying over four hundred miles overnight, it paid a painful price with chunks of its own fur!

The next day, Mo Yan and Lixiu hauled the items they had prepared the day before onto the carriage. There was so much stuff that the originally spacious carriage became somewhat cramped. When she went to the animal pen to lead Little Black out, she then remembered that Little Black had been taken away early in the morning by Wang Pangtou.

Looking at Da HongZao, who had recovered quite well, Mo Yan shook her head and resolutely went to lead Little Yellow, who was strong, sturdy, and not nursing.

However, Da HongZao approached her with the reins in his mouth, nuzzled Mo Yan with his big head, his human-like eyes brimming with expectation. His meaning was clear: he wanted to pull the carriage.

Mo Yan touched his head, feeling conflicted. With Da HongZao’s physical condition, he might not be able to withstand the eighty-mile round trip.

As if seeing her hesitation, Da HongZao untied the reins from the post with his mouth and walked over to the carriage, neighing at Mo Yan.

With Da HongZao going to such lengths, what could Mo Yan say? She had no choice but to harness him to the carriage.

Da HongZao had never pulled a carriage before, and he would need direction while on the road, so Mo Yan had the two youngsters sit inside while she took the driver’s seat.

The stretch of road from Liu Yang Village to the North gate wasn’t very busy, so Mo Yan just needed to keep to the right path. Da HongZao wasn’t moving quickly, but she didn’t rush him, feeling relieved to see that he seemed comfortable and wasn’t breathing heavily.

Once in the city, she directed Da HongZao to stay towards the middle of the road to avoid bumping into pedestrians. The streets were busy in the early morning, and Da HongZao appeared somewhat nervous, treading even more carefully now.

The journey was smooth, and upon entering the Eastern Market, the streets bustled with even more horse-drawn carriages. Right when there was a tight turn ahead and the road was not very spacious, Mo Yan warned Da HongZao to slow down, fearing a carriage might come around the corner from the opposite side.

But as they say, what one fears may come to pass. Just as Da HongZao rounded the corner with half the carriage turned, a fast-moving carriage shot out from the opposite direction. The approaching horse was moving quickly and, even upon seeing Da HongZao, it would be difficult to come to a halt immediately. As the two horses were about to collide, Mo Yan’s heart raced with anxiety.
