Chapter 104 They Have No Other Relatives

Chapter 104 They Have No Other Relatives

He continued, "Maybe I'll be back in three to five months. When I become a general, we'll go to my parents' graves to pay our respects and make them happy!" Han Xier cried even harder after hearing this. She didn't care about bringing honor to her family, she just hoped that the brother and sister could be safe and sound. They had no other relatives in this world.

At this time, Xu Luo looked at Princess Changle next to him and said, "Le'er, after I leave, you have to come and accompany Xi'er more often." Princess Changle nodded with tears in her eyes. She had already cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears, and she felt lost because Xu Luo's departure made her feel empty.

"Master, you left before I could learn your skills. I don't know when I can see you again..." Princess Changle said with sobs. Thinking of what Emperor Li II said yesterday, Xu Luo was going to join the army and she didn't know when he would come back, her heart felt hollow.

Looking at Han Xier and Princess Changle, Xu Luo felt bad. Han Xier's tearful eyes were like petals wet by dew in the morning, which made people feel pity; and Princess Changle's trembling lips and pale face made him want to comfort her. However, as a man, he had his own mission and responsibility, so he could only bury this tenderness deep in his heart.

Princess Changle felt a sharp pain in her heart, a pain she had never felt before. Now that she heard that Master Xu Luo was about to leave, she felt as if something was tugging at her heart. "Master, I am following you to learn more than just fortune-telling, right?" Xu Luo shook his head with a smile in his eyes, "Your father, Lord Li, didn't give you to me for this. He just hoped that by following me, you could broaden your horizons and see the colorful world."

"You just need to memorize the Three Character Classic and the Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child. When I come back, if you can recite them to me word for word, it will prove that my teaching you was not in vain." Xu Luo's words made Princess Changle nod her head repeatedly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, get ready. We're moving to our new home today!" Xu Luo patted Changle and Han Xier's shoulders gently and said with a smile. The two girls responded and turned back to the house.

Not long after, people from the village came in twos and threes, including Niu Dahu. They smiled and said, "Brother Han, we heard that you are moving today, so we came to help!" "Han boy, you have made a name for yourself now. You are leaving Matou Village, don't forget to come back and visit us!" "Brother Han, if you have any heavy work, leave it to me!"

Xu Luo turned around and looked at these familiar faces, feeling warm in his heart. In the crowd, Han Xier was tidying her hair gently, her eyes flickering, inadvertently revealing her charming neck and looming collarbone, which made the people around her feel excited. Princess Changle looked at these enthusiastic villagers with gratitude, her chest heaving slightly, as if she felt the deep affection.

"Then thank you all for your help!" Xu Luo said with a smile, the atmosphere was warm and lively.

Xu Luo was strong and powerful, and he led a group of people into the fenced yard. His brute force seemed to overturn the whole house and throw everything he could onto the carriage. The people around him were in a hurry to move these antiques onto the carriage. To be honest, Xu Luo had not planned to take these junk away, but his sister refused, saying that these were left by his parents, and it would be a pity to throw them away, and he would have to spend money to buy new ones, which would be a big loss.

Xu Luo knew that his sister just wanted to save some money. He was rich now, so he didn't care about such a small amount of money. But his sister was used to saving money, and it was not easy to change. So he could only let her do what she wanted.

"Han boy, now that you have grown up, take your sister and move to the city. If your parents were still alive, they would be so happy to see you like this!" The old people in the village gathered around Xu Luo, chattering and giving him advice.

"Yeah, you two were only this tall back then, but now you've grown up."

"When you go to the city, talk less and do more, and don't cause trouble. Come back to visit us old guys when you have time."

At this time, Xu Luo's sister's eyes were slightly red, her nose wrinkled slightly, and her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back tears. Her watery eyes flashed with a determined light, making people want to hug her tightly and promise to take good care of her. "Brother, I know you don't care about these, but I just can't bear to let go. These are our memories." She said softly, her lips trembling slightly, looking very touching.

Xu Luo patted his sister's shoulder gently, said nothing, and just nodded. He knew that these old items were not only memories for his sister, but also a longing for their parents.

Xu Luo felt warm in his heart, as if he was surrounded by the care of his elders. There seemed to be soft water waves in front of his eyes, blurring his vision. He nodded frequently, repeatedly exhorted, and then led Han Xier and Princess Changle to board Niu Dahu's shaky carriage, and left the familiar Matou Village, looking back every few steps.

"Brother, can we come back?" Han Xier's voice was tearful, her eyes were red like ripe cherries, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Xu Luo showed a warm smile and patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, you can come back anytime you want. Let Brother Dahu know, and he will drive the carriage to pick you up right away."

"That's right, sister Han, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, Brother Niu will be there at your call!" Niu Dahu was driving in front and turned around to respond generously.

After hearing this, Han Xier's tearful face finally revealed a smile of expectation.

Just as the carriage was bumping on the bumpy path and the high walls of Chang'an City were faintly visible, Niu Dahu suddenly pulled the reins and the carriage suddenly stopped. "Whoa!" He shouted and stopped by the roadside.

Xu Luo was about to ask, but when he looked out, he saw several strangers standing in front of him, blocking his way. Before he could say anything, one of them said with a smile: "Mr. Han, you don't even invite us to celebrate your housewarming. Isn't that a bit stingy?"

Hearing this, Xu Luo couldn't help but laugh, and that smile was filled with longing for the future.

Chang'an City, his new residence, is waiting for the arrival of its new owner.

Although Xu Luo's new house is not very grand, it is decent. The yard of several hundred square meters is considered a luxury house in the eyes of ordinary people. As a commoner, he naturally dared not break the rules. The size of the house strictly abides by the limit of four entrances. However, before moving in, Xu Luo took great pains to make some changes to the Feng Shui layout in the hope of bringing good luck.

Just look, His Majesty Li II came with a group of court ministers, such as Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, etc., to congratulate. As soon as they met, they joked: "Haha, Mr. Han is really generous. If he buys this house, I'm afraid it will be worth a mountain of gold and silver!" Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng also followed suit. There was no need to say what these people were thinking.
