My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st
Chapter 142 The ancient roadside is worthwhile.
"Teacher, please take care of yourself as well," Gu Xixi returned the greeting.
After speaking, Chen Yanxu turned and left the supermarket, heading to the carriage in the procession.
Deputy General Ma directed the soldiers to load the goods onto the trucks, and they were almost done. Gu Xixi looked at Shen Qingyan, but Shen Qingyan did not make any move.
He stood there, seemingly stiff, his throat feeling as if it weighed a ton. After a long hesitation, he finally managed to squeeze out two words, "Xi Xi..."
“Let’s go, for your grand ambition, for all the people of the world… Even if I leave, our previous trading channels will still be valid, and you will still be able to see me. This is not a farewell to death, and I’m most afraid of getting sentimental, so please hold back.”
Gu Xixi patted his arm casually.
"We each have our own paths to take, but... alas, even a thousand-mile journey must come to an end. I'll stand here and see you off. Go, Shen Qingyan, and I hope to hear good news from you when we meet again."
"Take care, Miss." Shen Qingyan nodded with a smile, his bow was very hasty. He turned around quickly, and his green robe flashed before Gu Xixi's eyes before disappearing into the distance.
Hastily mustered up her courage and came out, glanced at Shen Qingyan's back and then at Gu Xixi, and began to hum an unknown ballad.
Shen Qingyan boarded the carriage. Deputy General Ma was still directing everyone to securely tie the grain to the carriage, but it was already nearing completion, and leaving would be just around the corner.
“Sister Gu, sing with me. This is what my mother taught me. She said that when saying goodbye, we sing this song, and the person leaving will hear the song and have their wishes fulfilled.” Cao Cao’s voice was young, but full of conviction.
Gu Xixi couldn't learn it right away; she was tone-deaf. So she shook her head and said, "Then I'll teach you a new farewell song. You can learn it with me."
Deputy General Ma had already mounted his horse and bowed to Gu Xixi in farewell.
Cao Cao nodded immediately, excited. The fairy sister was going to teach her to sing. "Okay, okay!"
“We should learn from her, Miss Gu. We can’t favor Cao Cao over her.”
"That's right, we should learn from him too. We also want to see Lord Shen off; he's a good official."
……
The people behind gathered around, full of anticipation.
Deputy General Ma spurred his horse, and the procession slowly began to move. Gu Xixi opened her mouth and sang the first line, "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon... At the ends of the earth, at the corners of the world, my friends are scattered... Life is short, and parting is all too common."
She sang softly in front of them, her voice delicate, gentle, and tender, with a touch of sorrow and melancholy lingering in the air.
The people behind Gu Xixi followed her example perfectly, and many soldiers turned around to look, their expressions moved.
After the song ended, the procession had already gone far away, and inside the carriage...
Chen Yanxu was still savoring the lyrics, "Miss Xixi always produces the best things, even this farewell song is no exception. I'm sure it won't be long before this little tune spreads throughout the Great Huang Dynasty."
"Muzhi, actually it will take another ten days to transport all the grain. You can..."
How could he not have thought of that? Just now, when he heard Gu Xixi chanting… Shen Qingyan shook his head, “Teacher, my aspirations have never changed. We’ve made so many efforts, and there are others who have sacrificed themselves on this path…”
He recalled the people of Xilan County who had seen him off, the scholar with a bright future who was killed because of him, and Niu Niu, who was to become the first female general of the dynasty…
From the very beginning, he had no way out and no other options.
"Teacher, this carriage curtain is too heavy." He still couldn't lift it. Shen Qingyan casually picked up a book that Gu Xixi had given him and started reading. He could almost hear the singing in his ears.
……
"Sister Gu, this song is so beautiful, what's it called?" She hastily sang it once, still immersed in the melodious tune.
"Yes, it sounds so beautiful. I can hardly believe that it came from the mouth of this country woman. Miss Gu, Lord Shen has left. Will you be leaving soon too?"
"Ah, we're so reluctant to part with you, Miss Gu. I'd love to buy all the goods you have here for the rest of my life."
……
Gu Xixi just smiled and said, "I probably won't leave so soon. I'll leave when Cao Cao is old enough to go to private school and is qualified to take the imperial examination."
"This song is called 'Farewell.' Let me teach you a few more times. You can learn it by following along, and then teach it to others. That way, when you get old and can't sing it anymore, you can still listen to it, okay?"
Cao Cao excitedly nodded again. She would listen to the fairy sister and spread this song throughout the entire Great Huang Dynasty. She also wanted to study and, like the fairy sister, know everything.
So Gu Xixi went back to the supermarket and went to the checkout counter to find the supermarket's background music player, which should have been available.
She had completely forgotten about it... but it really exists... so Gu Xixi set the song to loop five times.
Five repetitions should be enough for Cao Cao to learn it by now.
The printer suddenly started beeping, and several sheets of paper came out. Gu Xixi looked at them and saw that they were lyrics to the Da Huang Dynasty version of "Farewell".
【Brother Tongzi, you really are…】Gu Xixi distributed the lyrics, and with the lead singer, they might be able to learn these words too.
Cao Cao and a group of villagers were studying at the supermarket entrance. Other villagers who had sold their herbs were not in a hurry to leave, waiting for their children, constantly looking around to find the source of the singing.
Gu Xixi recounted her mission completion to Chu Feng and reported back on the rewards she received. She couldn't figure out where to use the upgrade for everything, so she let her team figure it out.
Perhaps the country has a better idea; she can't afford to ignore such a precious opportunity.
Not far away, a group of people walking very slowly approached. Gu Xixi took out her binoculars to look: most of them were young men in their teens, with a few women scattered around, but they were dressed in men's clothing.
The most valuable thing in their group was a fat donkey.
The youngest child in the group was on the donkey's back. In front of the donkey, someone was carrying a tree branch with a carrot hanging from it. The donkey would bite the carrot and follow along.
They looked tired, but their eyes were resolute. They were probably exhausted. When they saw her shop, the three or four young men at the head of the group went straight to the shop together.
Within minutes they arrived at the Fortune Supermarket. The young man in the lead, dressed in a long robe and with delicate features, ignored the music playing in the air and asked with a mixture of timidity and excitement, "Are you Gu Xixi, young lady?"
"You know me?" Gu Xixi asked curiously, not expecting it to be a one-sided acquaintance.
The young man excitedly pulled out the wooden doll that Gu Xixi knew all too well from his pocket. "Miss Gu, we've finally found you! We are all students from Xilan County, entrusted by all the people of Xilan County to find you. Please go and save Lord Shen."
Miss Gu is a descendant of a reclusive family. She must have extraordinary abilities to produce so much grain in such a short time. She will surely be able to save Lord Shen.
Such a magical shop, with so many people learning to sing along, and the singing is so loud and heavenly that you can't see the singer—it must be the legendary Miss Gu.
They were actually students from Xilan County... A group of young men and women, not yet of age, were aimlessly searching for her to save Shen Qingyan?
Gu Xixi was deeply shocked... The people of Xilan County truly deserve to be saved.
