Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Brother, I’ll Take You Home 12_1

The group finally split up at the airport, with Bono and his team returning to their home country on a mission, while He Zhilan, on the other hand, embarked on the journey home with He Da.

On the plane, He Da had already undergone a complete change. Once he was discharged, He Zhilan took him to get a haircut, bought him several sets of new clothes, and even trimmed his nails. Though he still looked emaciated, his overall spirit seemed much better than when they first started out.

"Elder brother, after the plane lands, a little train ride will get us home." He Zhilan quietly said, glancing at He Da, who was eagerly looking out of the plane window.

He Da nodded, pulling back his gaze, "Who would have thought I, He Da, would live to see the day where I would return home by plane and reunite with my family! But really Zhilan, you shouldn’t have bought new clothes for me, it’s a waste of money! Old clothes would have sufficed, anyhow, I only have one leg left, so no clothes will look good.

"Who says? In the past, plenty of village girls were charmed by He Da of the He family. If you keep talking like this, I will break down in tears! When we get home, you better not belittle yourself like that. Can you imagine how it will hurt Dad if he hears that?" Zhilan feigned crying, instantly rendering He Da speechless and forcing him to scratch his head in surrender.

Traveling might not have been exhaustive for Zhilan, but it was torment for He Da, who had lost a leg. Especially getting on and off steps, taking the train and plane, all these activities posed a challenge to his physical condition.

Fortunately, once their train arrived, he followed close behind Zhilan and found himself in their familiar, old county town. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

After leaving home for more than eight years and losing contact with his family for more than six years, the county town still looked familiar in He Da’s eyes.

"Besides a few more shopping malls, the county has barely changed, looking as if it was waiting for you to find your way back home." He Zhilan giggled softly while supporting He Da, patiently taking small steps towards the exit of the train station.

Because they were in a hurry, Zhilan was unable to confirm the exact time of train they could catch and hence, did not inform their dad to meet them at the station.

Once they left the train station, He Zhilan called home from a newsstand, letting them know that they were on their way back from the county town.

The moment he answered the call, their father immediately rushed home to alert He Dongxue and just-returned He Teng. Regardless of the time, the trio sprinted towards the village entrance, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The sight of several shuttle buses passing by without stopping at the village entry brought waves of disappointment, only for their hope to be rekindled again.

Finally, as dusk fell, a bus halted at the entry of the village. He Zhilan was the first to get off, followed by He Da whom she helped off the bus. At the sight of this, their faces were filled with tears.

"Dad, big brother, Dongxue, I am home." choked out He Da at the brink of breaking into tears, a frame supported halfway by Zhilan. As he peered through his tear-filled eyes at the faces of his family — faces he hadn’t seen for six long years — his emotions surged. He gently pushed Zhilan away, indicating to her to let go of him, before dropping onto his knees.

"Dad, I have been unfilial all these years, making you worry about me."
