While Lord Gu was anxiously arranging people to look for his younger brother, other relatives of the Gu family came to visit. Not only did they come, they also brought their own children, all of whom were under ten years old. Bringing children to visit at this critical juncture, their intentions were clear to everyone.

Naturally, Lord Gu, who was in a rage, did not meet any of them and asked his butler to send them all away. However, a few uncles and aunts relied on their seniority and refused to leave, insisting that Lord Gu accept a child.

"We don't know whether Gu Fengyue can come back or not. How can such a big marquisate be without a successor!" One of the older uncles looked heartbroken, as if he was really thinking about Marquis Gu, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell what he was planning.

Another person echoed him: "That's right, the Marquis is weak and hasn't been able to start a family yet. The second son is young and his whereabouts are unknown. This Marquis's Mansion still needs an heir."

The butler glanced at the man but did not respond. Several people talked a lot to themselves, and when they found that there was no one around, they looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing that they had all stopped, the housekeeper politely ordered them to leave. Seeing that they did not get any benefit, the few people tried their best to get the children they brought to stay.

"You just stay and serve the Marquis well." The oldest man pointed to a few children and ordered them in an unquestionable voice.

"Go prepare a few guest rooms for them. They should be closer to the Marquis. I think Taosheng Courtyard is a good choice. Let's arrange them there."

The housekeeper sneered upon hearing this, thinking that Taosheng Courtyard was specially arranged by the old marquis for the two young masters. It not only has the largest study in the mansion, but also the only martial arts training ground and armory in the mansion. The two young masters have never lived there for a single day, and these children from the side branches want to live in Taosheng Courtyard as soon as they arrive. They are really shameless.

The butler was about to laugh at their shamelessness and was about to say a few words in reply when Lord Gu arrived. As soon as he heard the unreasonable demands made by these uncles from the side branches, he became even angrier than the butler.

"I'm not even dead yet, but there are already some random people rushing to give orders to my mansion. What? Do you think my mansion is some kind of rural temple? You dare to put any random people in front of me. What about Taosheng Courtyard? Go to my father's tablet and ask if he is willing to let random people live in Taosheng Courtyard."

"My Lord, is this how you treat your elders?" The uncles and uncles in the lead slammed the table hard, their faces flushed red, all of which were due to their guilty conscience.

Lord Gu was not afraid of these bluffs. He just raised his hand and called for the guards.

"Come here, I think you uncles really drank too much tea and are choking. Take it back quickly and don't dirty the ground of my mansion."

Marquis Gu had a sharp tongue and was about to curse at a few people, but the guards of the Marquis' Mansion rushed forward and carried the people out directly, and also took the children away.

After clearing away the annoying people, the butler calmed down the Lord Gu who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Don't bother with those people. Your health is more important."

Lord Gu was still trembling with anger. "Look at those kids, they are already seven or eight years old. They can already remember things. Even if I raise them, can they kiss me? Do you really think I am still a child who can be fooled? I can't believe that the whole family can't even find a newborn baby."

"I'm afraid you'll develop feelings for the child. Calm down. It's not worth it for these people."

Lord Gu leaned back in his chair and gasped for breath. After a long time, he didn't feel any better, so he took another pill. The butler saw that he took the pills like candy beans and was hesitant to speak.

Lord Gu didn't care about all this. His body was already at the end of its strength and he just hoped that his brother would be lucky enough to come back before he died.

Gu Fengyue, who was still recuperating on Mount Langya, seemed to have realized something. He moved his fingers and found that his right hand had recovered, but he still had some strength, but it was indeed not painful at all.

He tried to move his left hand again, and the broken bone still hurt a little, but it was much better than the initial situation. Gu Fengyue even made plans to become a disabled person in the future.

Fortunately, God did not let him become disabled, and he still has hope of recovery.

But there was something covering his eyes. Gu Fengyue reached out and touched it, and found that he seemed to be wearing an eye mask on his face. The texture of the eye mask was very silky and felt like satin.

His fingers lingered on the smooth eye mask, as if hesitating whether to take it off. In the end, he did not take it off. Since the other party saved him, he could respect the savior's thoughts. It was just that he could not see, which was no big deal.

Gu Fengyue put down his hands. He didn't know what he would miss because of this action. If he took off the blindfold, he would definitely be able to see that the modern tent was completely different from ordinary tents. Not far away were camping chairs and tables. Everything on the table was beyond his cognition.

Fortunately, he did not take off his blindfold. He had no idea that Song Chunlin was standing not far away, staring at Gu Fengyue's every move. If he dared to take it off, he would kill him.

He came from the end of the world. Even though he had lived with the Song family for so long, he was unable to change the indifferent nature he had developed in the end of the world. In the end of the world, humans can betray each other. Song Chunlin would not feel guilty for killing a possible threat. On the contrary, he would feel relieved.

Gu Fengyue had another close call with death. When Song Chunlin saw that he was no longer moving, he returned to his normal self, jumping back with a bag of cherries in his hand. They were produced in the space, big and sweet. He particularly liked eating them recently.

At dusk, the Song family members came back from nearby one after another. They had been exploring the nearby terrain in order to find a route to the south of the Yangtze River.

Song Dazhuang's injury has healed and he can walk. All that's left is to take good care of himself. Grandpa Song's condition is similar. The worst case is Gu Fengyue. The bones in his left foot are broken into two pieces. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, that leg would have been lost. In modern times, he would probably have to have his leg amputated.

Everyone had already discussed it, and the family would travel light, with each person carrying an empty backpack with some dry food in it for show. The important supplies would be placed in Song Chunlin's space, so there would be no fear of theft or loss. As for Gu Fengyue, Song Dazhuang wanted to make another simple wheelbarrow specifically for pushing Gu Fengyue and Song Xiaobao. The two children together weighed only a little over 100 pounds, which was nothing for a farmer who was used to doing farm work, and they usually pushed the cart with this weight.
