Chapter 839: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 839: Going to the Bookstore
Shu Yu frowned. Where could her master be? She had initially gone to the southwest to help her, but now that she had returned, her master shouldn't still be there, right?
Feeling disappointed for not getting the information she wanted, Shu Yu could only ask the Daoist nun, "When the master returns, please tell her that I'll be waiting for her in Jiangyuan County. There are some things I hope she can help me clarify."
"I will convey the message on behalf of the poor Daoist."
Shu Yu nodded and left with Lu Er Bai.
However, Lu Er Bai was muttering in the carriage on the way down the mountain. Shu Yu knew that even if the message was relayed by the Daoist nun, it would be useless. If her master didn't want to appear, she would never appear.
The relationship between master and disciple was truly... unpredictable.
Shu Yu felt a bit weary.
Lost in thought, the mule cart arrived at the entrance of Dong'an Prefecture.
Just as they entered the city, Lu Erbai suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Isn't that San Ya and Da Hu? And standing next to them... is that Zhao Xi or Yunzheng?"
Shu Yu followed his finger's direction and indeed saw three people standing near the city gate.
San Ya and Da Hu were eagerly craning their necks to look towards the city gate. When they spotted Lu Er Bai, they immediately waved vigorously.
Standing beside them was Meng Yunzheng, but he had a hat on.
That explained why Lu Erbai hadn't recognized him at first.
The cart followed the procession and headed towards the city wall. When they reached the foot of the city wall, Meng Yunzheng brought the two people towards them.
Shu Yu jumped off the cart and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
San Ya said, "We woke up and Mother said it was rare to visit the prefectural city, so she let us come out and take a look. And then we ended up here."
As she spoke, she looked towards Meng Yunzheng.
It was Big Brother Meng who brought them out. She didn't know why he had stopped at the city gate and didn't move.
Big Brother Meng said that Father and Second Sister had been gone for so long, they should be returning soon. They were waiting here, maybe they would wait for them.
Sure enough, they had really waited for Father and Second Sister.
Shu Yu couldn't help but look at Meng Yunzheng, and her lips twitched. Although their inn was not far from the city gate, shouldn't they have gone further into the city while shopping?
Meng Yunzheng cleared his throat, shifted his gaze away, and took the reins from Lu Er Bai's hand. He whispered, "Uncle Lu, did you see the temple master?"
Lu Erbai shook his head. "No, the temple master still hasn't returned."
As they spoke, the two walked towards the city.
Shu Yu also led her younger siblings to follow beside them. Seeing that it was still early, she whispered and asked if they had any place they wanted to go.
The two children were visiting Dong'an Prefecture for the first time and weren't familiar with the area, so they couldn't think of anywhere to go for a moment.
However, Meng Yunzheng suddenly said, "Let's go to the bookstore and buy some books for Da Hu."
Da Hu's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since the New Year, he had been reading books under Big Brother Meng's guidance.
Big Brother Meng was really amazing and knew everything. Whenever he didn't understand something, Big Brother Meng explained it, and he immediately understood.
Even during their journey, he didn't neglect his studies. Every night, he would read and learn. He had already finished reading the books Big Brother Meng had given him.
A couple of days ago, Big Brother Meng even said he could start studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
When he heard they were going to the bookstore, Da Hu was the first one to agree eagerly.
