Chapter 278: Crying with Joy at the News
"Su Lang, Su Lang, where is my sister Guang? Did you lose her?"

"I'm sorry, Meixue, I..."

"What? You are not my Su Lang, not my husband, you are hateful! She is the only relative from my mother's side, why did you abandon her alone? If it weren't for you, how could my child have traveled thousands of miles to find you? With such good intentions, she ended up with nothing left, buried in the belly of a fish. This is all your fault, it's all your fault! Cheng Su, give me my relative back!"

"No, Meixue, please listen to my explanation..."

The man lying on the bed had his eyes closed, his eyeballs rolling around. As his mumbling became louder, he didn't know what happened in his dream. He suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up in bed.

The dazzling sunlight shone into the house through the window frame. The dust floated under the light and shadow. Everything seemed so real. Cheng Su gradually saw everything clearly in front of him and suddenly realized that it was just a nightmare.

It's terrible!

Subconsciously, Cheng Su raised his hand and wiped his forehead gently. As he was wiping, Cheng Su's expression changed and his hand movements suddenly stopped.

"No!" He clearly remembered that he led Desheng to the north bank of Zhuohe River to look for Sister Guang. How could he suddenly sleep in this strange house that seemed to be peaceful and tranquil?
Also, clearly before he fell, there were fireworks of a different kind exploding in the sky, and then Yingyi's face suddenly changed...

Yes, yes! That’s it. What happened? Where is this? Is there still victory?
Cheng Su was anxious. He threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed, shouting in panic, "Victory, victory..."

Desheng, who had long since regained his freedom and had been guarding Cheng Su's door diligently, moved immediately upon hearing the sound. With a roar, he turned around, opened the door, and ran into the house without caring about the negotiation between Yingyi and him before leaving.

The soldier who had just come in from the moon-shaped door with a tray in his hand shouted anxiously, "Desheng, I told you not to disturb your master's rest. Why did you go in again?"

As the voice fell, Cheng Su first saw De Sheng rushing in unharmed, followed by a stranger running hurriedly.

Cheng Su narrowed his eyes. Even though the other party was wearing a Dajing military uniform, his eyes were still defensive. "Who are you?"

The other party stepped into the room and saw Cheng Su awake. He was delighted and said, "Oh, brother, you are finally awake! I will report this good news to the general. Hahahaha..."

"General?" Shen Yue?
Seeing the visitor leaving with a shout, Cheng Su was puzzled. The man who had already stepped out of the door saw the tray still in his hand, and then he realized what he was doing there, and slapped himself on the head.

"Oh, look at my stupid brain. I forgot in the excitement." The man turned back quickly and put a big bowl of porridge on the tray in his hand into Cheng Su's hand. Before Cheng Su could refuse, the man spoke first.

"Come, come, big brother, this is good stuff. Our general specially asked us to prepare this ginseng chicken soup for you. It is very good for replenishing qi and blood. You don't know that the doctor said that your body is very weak, so you need to replenish it."

The man stuffed his food with chicken soup and porridge and turned around. He was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Cheng Su could only watch the visitor go away in anxiety and anger, then silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Desheng, who was squatting beside him with his eyes fixed on the big bowl in his hand and drooling, and gave a bitter smile.

He rubbed Desheng, who had been accompanying him in searching for people and enduring hardships, and couldn't help but think of Black Whirlwind, who had tried to protect him and whose life or death was still unknown. Cheng Su's heart was instantly filled with guilt. When he thought of the dream just now and his niece whose whereabouts were still unknown, he felt like dying.

Even with deep breaths, he couldn't calm the pain in his heart. Cheng Su rubbed Desheng's wolf head woodenly, handed the bowl in his hand to him without hesitation and placed it on the ground, "Come on, Desheng, you eat."

"Uncle Cheng, this is a nourishing meal specially prepared for you. How about giving it to Desheng?"

Hearing the familiar voice following the hurried footsteps, Cheng Su looked up. Who else could it be but Shen Yue? Cheng Su glanced at the person indifferently, not caring about when he changed from Brother Cheng to Uncle Cheng. He did not reply, but just withdrew his gaze indifferently, patted Desheng's wolf head, and signaled Desheng to go eat.

Shen Yue saw all these reactions. The man who used to be open-minded and cheerful, although not high-spirited, was energetic and gentle, and had the demeanor of a gentleman.

Ever since Yaoguang and Black Whirlwind disappeared one after another, we have been searching for them until now. It seems that the gentleman has lost his former spirit and energy, and he has become very thin. Now he looks like he has given up on himself and is dying, which is very distressing to watch.

How could Shen Yue not feel guilty when the other party became like this? Not guilty? Moreover, this was the closest relative she cared about, what else could he do?
Shen Yue sighed, "Alright, alright, Uncle Cheng, you can feed me if you want. As long as you are happy, I will ask the kitchen to send you another portion later. You must eat well and take care of yourself. Otherwise, Yaoguang will blame me when she comes back."

Cheng Su glanced at Shen Yue who was approaching, and remained silent.

Shen Yue... "Uncle Cheng, if you always act like this, I can't show you Yaoguang's message."

At first, Cheng Su didn't care at all. What was that? Eat well, take care of yourself. How could he eat when his child's life or death was uncertain? Not to mention nourishing food, he didn't even want to touch delicacies from land and sea, dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

He lost his loved one. Not to mention he couldn't explain to his wife, such a good child was like his own daughter. If he couldn't find such a good child, how could he live in this life!
It was just this feeling of despair that when he heard Shen Yue talking about the letter from the child, Cheng Su, who had been searching for people in the wind and rain for days and looked completely different from before and had become dark and skinny, suddenly had a light in his eyes.

Without even bothering to put on his shoes, Cheng Su slid off the bed and pounced towards Shen Yue, grabbing Shen Yue's collar. No matter who the other party was, he spoke in an urgent tone.

"What did you say? What did you say just now? Where is the letter from my sister Guang? Where is the letter? Is my son safe? Tell me quickly."

It turns out that this skinny guy is so strong that even his own internal strength was shaken and he was pushed back. I never realized this before!
But think about it, when it comes to your closest relatives, caring too much about them will cause confusion.

Seeing Cheng Su like this, Shen Yue hurriedly took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, this is for you."

Cheng Su snatched it away and opened it quickly, while at the same time Shen Yue's explanation rang in his ears.

"This is a letter sent by carrier pigeon to the manager of Qiji Hall in Pengcheng a few days ago. As soon as I received the letter, I sent someone to find you quickly. Uncle Cheng, I don't know the Yaoguang Notes, so please identify it."

Cheng Su listened to Shen Yue's words while his eyes quickly scanned the contents on the small piece of letter. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

"It's her, it's her! This handwriting belongs to my sister Guang, yes, it's her!"

Looking at the content again, the child said that she was fine. She was protected by the five ghosts and was not injured when she fell into the water after falling from the city. Now she is together with Ji Mo's child. Even Black Whirlwind is with them. Thinking of Ji Mo's ability, Cheng Su's dead heart slowly started beating again. There was a light in his wooden eyes, and slowly, the corners of his tightly pursed lips also curled up.

"Hahaha, well done to Black Whirlwind! Hahaha, I told you, my sister Guang is so smart and capable, she will be fine, hahaha! I've long said that they are blessed by heaven, hahaha..."

Thinking of the trouble this person caused after the incident, Shen Yue said: It’s hindsight!

I told you a long time ago that she would be fine, but you just didn't believe me!
