Since he had given the sword away to someone trustworthy, he could finally be at ease.
When he dies and meets the Defender General, he will be able to give the perfect reason as to why the sword was given away.
He did not expect Jiang Yue to give the sword away to Xue Yan. He thought Jiang Yue was not satisfied enough with the badly made swords and wanted to choose a sword for herself.
He had been mistaken. He did not expect this kid to protect his nephew to the point of even choosing the perfect equipment for him to protect himself! When Xue Yan finally couldn’t take it anymore, he stood back up.
Coincidentally, it was time for dinner.
He informed his family that they did not have to call him and Jiang Yue back for dinner every day. Instead, they would go back once it was time.
Xue Yan slowed down before opening the courtyard door of the old house. He held Jiang Yue’s hand in one hand and held the sword that was now his in the other. He was happy to go home and have a hearty meal.
However, before he came out of the old house, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
To his surprise, the sound of horse hooves came from saw Sifu, and he was talking to the villagers.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, then quickened their pace and quickly walked out of the old house to meet Sifu.
Sifu didn’t come back in a carriage but on a horse.
“Sifu, you’re here!”
They only shouted when they came close enough for him to hear.
Xue Sifu had just finished talking to the villagers he met when he turned around and saw the two children. His face brightened and he quickly clamped the horse’s stomach to make it gallop.
Then, he quickly got down from his horse when he was close enough to the two children.
“Did you guess that 1 was coming back and came here earlier to pick me up?” Xue Sifu held the reins of the horse with one hand as he squatted in front of the two children and smiled.
The two children had their energy raised the moment they met him. They were wearing silver-white clothes suitable for martial arts and had belts around their waists. Sifu looked at Xue Yan and saw that he was holding a sword in his hand.
“Xue Yan just finished practicing martial arts at the old house and so we’re going back for lunch.” Jiang Yue said. She was trying to tell him they didn’t mean to see him on the way back.
Xue Sifu suddenly clutched his chest and said with an exaggerated expression, “Jiang Yue, I’m hurt to hear you say that to me.” However, he couldn’t stop laughing. He was obviously teasing the two children.
Without waiting for the two children to react, he rubbed their heads and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t tease you guys anymore. Practicing martial arts sounds like a good thing to me. It hasn’t been that long since I last saw you two, and you guys look much st.u.r.dier. You guys look stronger, like a small tiny plant. Keep at it. Come on then, let’s go home. I came back today to tell the rest that 1 bought that small shop in the county. I’ve already started on the design and need some help with the layout inside. That small shop seems decent enough and doesn’t need any other repairs. It should be open in two days if everything goes well.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed Sifu home while listening to him talk about his future plans.
“We have so many people working with us now.” Xue Sifu smiled at the two children as he led the horse.
“Finally, we’ll have more than enough dried rice noodles to sell to our customers. Last year, especially during the Chinese New Year, I had to control my sales.
“Otherwise, we would have overworked ourselves. I feel more at ease knowing we have more people to help around now. Even if the weather is only good for two or three days, we’ll be able to produce more batches compared to last time.”
When they arrived at the door of the new house, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to go in. Instead, they accompanied Sifu to the stable first and gave the horse some hay before leaving.
Xue Sifu saw that there was not much water in the manger, so he went to the river to get a bucket of water so that his horse could stay hydrated.
Just as he was pouring water into the manger, Xue Sifu remembered something. “Oh right, when I was preparing to sell buns in the shop this morning, I met people from Daxi’s village again..”
