Chapter 471 Paradise
Lu Chuan rarely spoke such a long speech at once, and he almost never talked about these things to the two children. Xu Han still agreed with what he said today.
This is how society is. People who sell themselves into slavery really have no say at all. Their life or death depends entirely on the words of their master.
But even though they are servants, they still have to be given the dignity they deserve. Xu Han doesn't want the two children to grow up in a wrong way and think that servants can be bullied at will.
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Mu'er nodded seriously and said, "I'll remember what Daddy said."
Lu Chuan reached out and touched Ze'er's head, praising him, "Good boy, Daddy and Mommy will always support you."
The family of four laughed and played together for a while, and then Lu Chuan took the two children to a side hall to sleep.
It was the first time for the two children to sleep outside. At first Xu Han was afraid that they would not be used to it and would not be able to sleep. But after they returned home, they fell asleep immediately without any feeling of discomfort.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan chatted for a while about tomorrow's arrangements, and then went to bed.
The next day, when it was just daybreak, the yard became bustling with people. The servants were packing the luggage and the things Xu Han had bought yesterday.
When Xu Han got up, they were almost ready. Seeing Mrs. Li, she asked, "Are you all ready? Don't forget to take your bedding. There are no extra ones at home. If you don't take them, you will have nowhere to sleep at night."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything is ready. The iron pots and pans you bought yesterday are all packed away."
"That's fine. Once everything is packed up, have everyone come to the front yard! We'll be leaving in a moment."
Xu Han walked forward after she finished speaking. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Don't forget to close the doors and windows. Also, make sure the fire in the fire pit is completely extinguished."
"Yes ma'am, I'll go check it again right away."
After saying that, Mrs. Li went to get busy. By the time Xu Han had finished cleaning everything, the front yard was already full of people.
"Is everyone here? Is there anything you haven't taken yet? Don't forget it."
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, "Madam, everything is ready. We can go now."
"Okay, let's get going. It's quite far from here in the deep mountains. You've all worked hard carrying your luggage. If anyone feels tired along the way, remember to call us so we can stop and rest."
Li Si was carrying his own quilt and clothes, as well as a large iron pot behind him, and said with a smile, "Hehehe, Madam, we are not tired. We are all used to doing hard work. This little weight is like playing for us. It's not tiring at all."
Xu Han looked at everyone. Except for herself and her two children, everyone had something on their backs or in their hands. Even the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were carrying bags, which should be yesterday's spare clothes.
Xu Han touched her nose embarrassedly, took out her bag from Lu Chuan's backpack, and said, "That's fine, let's go, let's set off early."
After saying that, she walked out first. After she had taken only two steps, Lu Chuan took the bag from Xu Han's hand. Xu Han couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, thinking, this man is really enthusiastic.
But there were many people here, and she couldn't argue with Lu Chuan, so she just took it. It wasn't heavy anyway. She had put all the heavy things in the space.
There was a huge group of people, and everyone had luggage on their backs. They attracted a lot of attention as they walked on the road.
Fortunately, they set out early. If they had set out a little later, the streets would be crowded and it would have been even more embarrassing.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the city gate. The soldiers stationed on both sides of the city gate couldn't help but check them more carefully when they saw the group's attire.
After a delay, they were allowed to pass as they saw there was indeed no problem.
As the journey got longer, we were getting farther and farther away from the county town.
Lu Chuan still had some grudges against these people. After taking them around in the mountains for a long time, they finally came to the big boat of his family.
Although there are many large ships, there are too many people here and a lot of luggage, so you definitely can't take them all in one trip.
So Lu Chuan, Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao set out first with the children and some servants. After arriving at the place, Lu Chuan returned to pick up the others.
On the boat, Xu Han said, "Why don't we wait for you at the dock in a while? We can sit down and rest for a while. When you are all here, we will set off together to go home."
Lu Chuan thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's fine. Those who stay behind are all strong men, and the Taoist priest will definitely lead them all the way up along the river. It won't take me long to pick them up and go back. You can take them to a shady place and wait. When we get there, we can go together."
Because they had to hurry, the first group of people on the boat were women, the elderly, and the weak, as well as some large luggage. This way, the Taoist priest could lead the rest of the people on the journey faster.
After the two of them had discussed it, they quickly arrived at the place. Everyone helped to unload the things on the boat, and Lu Chuan turned the boat around to pick up the Taoist priest and the others.
By the time a large group of people reunited, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. The main reason was that the round-trip boat ride took some time, otherwise everyone would have returned home by now.
After everyone arrived, the Taoist priest took them home first. Xu Han and Lu Chuan took advantage of the fact that no one was around to store the boat in the space.
The world is not particularly peaceful now. After all, the battlefield is not far from here, so it is better to be cautious in everything.
After putting it away, the two of them quickly caught up with them and they all went home together.
The servants had been looking around the surroundings ever since they entered the mountains, and they were quite shocked when they arrived near their home.
Who could have thought that there were people living in this deep mountain? From a distance, there were four large blue brick and tile houses. The yard was also very large, and it looked like it was not small. Indistinctly, it seemed that there were other small yards inside the yard.
Moreover, the land around the house has been reclaimed and crops have been planted. The crops are now growing well and are about to mature.
If you listen carefully, you can seem to hear a lot of chickens and ducks, and even dogs barking.
The further they walked in, the happier everyone became. The environment here was so great, with mountains, water, and fruit trees.
This place is simply a paradise in this chaotic world. You can be completely self-sufficient here. No wonder the owner can easily come up with such a large sum of money to buy a yard in this chaotic world.
However, although everyone thought so, no one dared to show it on their face. As servants, they should not ask too much about the master's affairs.
