Chapter 838: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 838: Arriving at Dong'an Prefecture
On the way back, the Lu family was more relaxed than when they came. They sat in the mule cart and road slowly, but still faster than before.
This time, they didn't need to rush to stay at the post stations. Sometimes, when they had time, they would stop halfway to rest, admire the scenery, or gather herbs on the mountainside.
It was rare for the whole family to go on such a trip together, treating it as an outing to broaden their horizons.
After traveling for a while, some of the food they had prepared in advance was consumed. Shu Yu noticed that there was space in the carriage, so she bought two potted plants and planted sunflower seeds during the journey.
Now was the perfect season for sowing.
The sunflower she had planted in Zhengdao Village had already grown quite tall. However, perhaps because she had planted it in winter, it looked a bit lackluster. But at least it survived.
She couldn't take it with her, so before leaving, she transplanted the sunflower to the Zhuangzi and entrusted the people there to take care of it. When the seeds matured, they could be eaten.
Sunflowers didn't require much care, so letting them grow wild on their own was fine.
Although the Lu family is not fast, they were still riding in carts.
After more than twenty days of leisurely travel, the three carts finally arrived at the entrance of Dong'an Prefecture.
Originally, the Lu family didn't plan to enter the city, but Shu Yu wanted to visit Dongqing Temple, so they decided to stay in the city for one night.
Except for Lu Erbai and Shu Yu, it was the first time for the rest of the Lu family to see the bustling streets of Dong'an Prefecture. During their previous trip to the southwest, they hurriedly passed by the city gate without entering.
Now, as they looked at the bustling and prosperous city in front of them, they couldn't help but feel excited.
They stopped at an inn not far from the city gate and asked the innkeeper for four rooms.
It was still early, so after settling their luggage in the rooms, Shu Yu prepared to go to Dongqing Temple.
The old lady had also wanted to go. At her age, she particularly liked seeking blessings from deities and Buddhas, praying for the safety of her family.
However, Dongqing Temple was located on the mountain, and the old lady had already traveled a long way. Climbing the mountain would be a bit too much for her.
Shu Yu didn't let them go, not even Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi could show themselves.
Meng Yunzheng had been to Dongqing Temple several times and was quite familiar with Dong'an Prefecture. However, it was not yet the time to openly reveal their identities.
In the end, the only one who went with Shu Yu to the temple was Lu Erbai.
Lu Erbai had first met Shu Yu at the back of the temple, and he had also stayed at Dongqing Temple for a while. If it weren't for Dongqing Temple and the temple master, their family would never have been able to reunite with Ah Yu.
Now that they were revisiting the place, it was only appropriate to pay a visit, burn three sticks of incense, and donate some money.
Father and daughter tidied themselves up and changed their clothes before leaving the inn. They drove the cart and headed out of the city.
Shu Yu was very familiar with Dongqing Temple. After they arrived, they first burned three sticks of incense and then went to find the Daoist nun in the temple.
Seeing Shu Yu, the Daoist nun was somewhat surprised. "Why has the young lady come?"
"Has the master returned recently?" Shu Yu asked her.
Since hearing the news about the temple master on New Year's Eve, she hadn't heard anything about her whereabouts.
She had also been paying attention to news about the temple master, but it was as if the person had disappeared completely, leaving no trace.
It had been three or four months since then, and she didn't know if the master had returned.
Unfortunately, the Daoist nun shook her head. "Since the departure of the temple master last year, she hasn't returned."
