I slept until the evening, and when I woke up it was already past midnight and the sun had already set.

The sleep was so comfortable that when Huo woke up, he didn't know what day it was.

After a while, he came to his senses and realized that he had come to a place called Luofeng Village, and he was safe for the time being.

After waking up for a while, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. He had eaten a full meal at noon and he didn't feel hungry until now. He thought it would not be a problem to sleep until tomorrow and then get up to find food.

Ning Jian had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he lay in bed at home reading the county annals all afternoon. He was called out by Bai Lifen during dinner time.

After the food was served, Ning Yu sat down and said sourly, "Brother, the man you like might not have anything to eat tonight. Why don't you go and check on him?"

Ning Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you still want to eat? If not, I'll take your bowl away."

Ning Yu shut up immediately after hearing that. He was a cripple now, and if his brother took away his job, he wouldn't be able to take it back, so he had better fill his stomach first.

The Ning couple didn't care at all about their two sons' fight. After all, the younger one couldn't argue or beat the older one, so he could only be suppressed.

After washing up in the evening, Ning Yan sent Ning Yu back to the room. When he was about to leave, Ning Yu grabbed Ning Yan's hand and asked unwillingly:

"Brother, do you really like that man? If you marry him, will you leave home? Will you follow him to the north in the future?"

The man didn't tell me the exact location of their home, only that it was in the north. However, to get to the nearest provincial capital in the north, they had to pass through two provincial capitals, and the round trip by carriage would take one or two months.

Does that mean he won't be able to see his brother often in the future? If that's the case, he really feels a little reluctant.

Ning Yan sensed his inner uneasiness, so he patted his head and said, "We haven't even started yet, so there's no need to worry too much. Even if I, your brother, get married, you and your parents are still my closest relatives."

"Then when you get married in the future, you can't be too far away from me and my parents." Ning Yuti requested.

"If it's too far and you don't come to find us, I will bring my parents to find you and build a house near where you live." Ning Lu felt that he was very smart and said to Ning Yan with a proud smile.

"I understand. Go to sleep." Ning Yan said to him with a smile.

After watching Ning Lu lie down, he returned to his room.

The next morning, Huo woke up. He was woken by hunger. His stomach was rumbling, and he couldn't go back to sleep, so he got up and prepared to find something to eat.

It was just daybreak now, and he looked through the things he had bought at Wang Cun's house yesterday: half a bag of millet, a small jar of pickles, a few handfuls of greens, a small ceramic pot, and nothing else.

After taking a quick look, he prepared to fetch water from behind the thatched hut and cook some vegetable porridge with pickles.

The water behind the house is not well water, but water brought down from the mountain.

When he came here yesterday, he took a detour from the mountain on the side of Luofeng Village and did not pass through the town. After eating this meal in the morning, he still had to find a way to go to the town to buy some food and daily necessities.

He opened the door and was about to walk to the back of the house when he heard someone calling him.

Just as he was wondering who was calling him, the man ran up to him very quickly.
