The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"What about two?"

"Secondly, we should try to get closer to them and see what they are carrying on their carts. They always push a flatbed cart covered with a tarpaulin, so we can't see anything. It can't be an empty cart, can it?"

Du Mingxian also had many questions: "The vehicles they bring out are always the same as the ones they bring back, and the tarpaulin is never removed. Is it just so they can go out for a stroll?"

"Let's try to get closer and take a look."

"it is good."

After discussing it, Du Mingxian did their makeup and changed their clothes. If the two hadn't been standing outside the whole time, they probably wouldn't have recognized each other.

"Your technique of turning people into living beings into real ones is excellent."

Du Mingxian wouldn't tell him that in her past life, when she was an assassin, she changed clothes even more often, so this was a required course for being an assassin.

"Some talents are innate; you can't envy them," she said with a laugh.

He smiled but said nothing.

After they were ready, they left the space and an elderly couple appeared out of nowhere, supporting each other as they walked forward.

Because they had calculated that those people would be preparing to set off before it got completely dark, they estimated that they would arrive at this time. They were panting heavily, carrying a small bundle on their backs. Just as they approached those people, Ling Silang stepped forward to ask them a question.

"Young man, which direction do you go to Wencheng?"

The person being questioned lowered their guard upon seeing that it was an elderly man. "Wencheng? Is it the Wencheng in Linzhou Prefecture?"

"Yes, Wenzhou."

Linzhou Prefecture is connected to Ningcheng Prefecture, which is under the control of the Ming King. Wencheng, a city in Linzhou Prefecture, was right next to Ningcheng Prefecture.

“Go along this road for about two hundred li, then head east. Ask around and see if you can find out more. It’s not a short journey.”

Ling Silang and Du Mingxian naturally showed anxious and worried expressions.

"It's not close, but we have to go."

The young man hadn't intended to ask, but Ling Silang looked quite pitiful, and thinking of his parents at home, he asked again, "Uncle, why do you have to go there? Are you from there?"

“No, we are from Ningcheng Prefecture. This…this is not the child. The child said that a friend in Wencheng made a fortune in business and wanted to go and do business with him. He took all the family’s savings, but it wasn’t enough, so he borrowed a lot of money from relatives and neighbors before leaving.”

"But who would have thought that after leaving, we wouldn't hear from them for several months. We couldn't stay at home, so we wanted to go look for them."

"I'm afraid they've been scammed..." The young man was about to finish speaking when suddenly the words caught in his throat. If the situation was dire, the two elderly people probably wouldn't be able to bear it. "They've been gone for so long without sending any news home. They've probably been busy the whole time."

“Sigh… We thought we might be busy, but we were more worried that something might have happened to him, so we had to go and see, even if… even if all we found in the end was the child’s body, we still had to bring the child home, right?” Du Mingxian said sincerely.

The young man was stunned by what the two said. He thought about how he often went out and sometimes wouldn't go back for days. He figured his parents must be worried about him too.

"You should rent a car; it'll make the journey easier." The young man had barely finished speaking when a man leading the group approached, his tone somewhat menacing. "Cheng Hu, what are you doing?"

This kid and those two old geezers have been talking for way too long.

When Cheng Hu saw that it was their boss, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Boss, this uncle and aunt are going to Wencheng in Linzhou Prefecture to find their son and asked me for directions."

When Du Mingxian and Ling Silang saw people approaching, their hearts shone with a light, the light of seeing prey. However... to outsiders, it seemed like a light of worship and excitement.

The eldest brother wasn't happy at first, but when he met their eyes, his heart softened. After all, everyone has parents, and everyone has elderly parents. If something happened to him outside, his two elderly parents would probably suffer the same fate as these two.

He is now making a good connection, hoping that if his family members encounter any problems in the future, someone will be able to help them.

"How many miles can you walk in a day if you keep going like this?"

Ling Silang swallowed hard. "My wife and I are not in good health. We can only walk about 15 or 16 miles a day, which is already a lot. We will walk slowly and we will get there eventually."

The eldest brother thought to himself, it's hard to say whether he'll make it, but there's a high chance he'll die on the way, after all, he's too old.

"Why don't you stay here and wait for us? We should be here by this time tomorrow. Then you can come with us into the city. We'll go to Ningcheng in Ningcheng Prefecture first, and then I'll find someone to take you to Wencheng."

Ling Silang looked excited, but also apologetic. "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you? We need you to lead the way and arrange people. We... we really don't have much money."

Seeing how excited Ling Silang and his wife were, the eldest brother felt an indescribable joy. "Consider it a good deed I did today. Don't worry too much."

“Well… young man, I see you’re pushing something, you must be busy. We can’t be a burden to you.”

"It's alright, we'll be finishing our job soon, you can just wait."

Under the persuasion of the leader and several underlings, Ling Silang and Du Mingxian were extremely grateful, praising them nonstop, which made the group very happy.

So Du Mingxian and Ling Silang waited there while the group left.

After the person left, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang didn't dare to enter the space, but instead chatted leisurely outside.

“Those young men are so kind. They were willing to help us when they saw us. It’s clear they are all kind and good people. Their parents are so lucky to have raised such good children. I wonder how our Da Niu is doing. I have a bad feeling about him.”

Ling Silang nodded slightly, "Don't overthink it. Let's go and see. If... something really happens to Da Niu, even if it's just a corpse, we have to take it back to the child and bury it in our own land."

"Yes, we don't know what's gotten into this kid. He insists on going into business with someone. It's such a long distance. We two old folks don't even know where he is. Going there like this is just a matter of luck."

Ling Silang reached out and gently patted Du Mingxian's hand, continuing to comfort her, "Don't worry, although Da Niu has never been very obedient since he was little, he is a filial son. He would never do anything to make us worry. I feel that he has not contacted us for so long, there must be something that has delayed him."

Du Mingxian took out two black cornbread buns that she had prepared in her spatial storage from the bundle on Ling Silang's back. "Have one. We've met some good people today."
