Pig Killer

Chapter 331

"Alas..." Huang Zhongchang sighed, "If it wasn't for seeing his son, it would have been so painful to hold on until now!" He said admiringly, "What a man."

Shen Hui'e glanced at him beside her and said, "What a pity."

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang's dark eyes flashed with a faint light when he heard this, "The older you are, the wiser you are!"

The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Let's go! Let's continue weeding." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes.

Shen Hui'e and the others were weeding! Yu Luo, who came in person, told them that they would leave tomorrow.

"Okay! We will pack up at night and will definitely not delay the army's departure." Huang Zhongchang responded readily.

"Is there enough time?" Yu Luo asked with concern.

"We don't have much stuff, so we can pack up quickly," Huang Zhongchang said quickly.

"What are you doing?" Yu Luo looked at the soldiers pulling weeds in the fields.

"Oh! We are all from farming families. We feel uncomfortable when we see weeds growing in the fields." Huang Zhongchang said with a grin.

"This land is now ownerless." Yu Luo said to him with red and swollen eyes.

"It doesn't matter whether it's ownerless or not. After weeding, the land will grow well and the crops will be given to the right people." Huang Zhongchang said naively, "The land can't be left idle. I'll feel bad if it's left idle. In the countryside, if someone's land is left idle, they will be struck by lightning."

What else could Yu Luo say? He bowed and said, "Mr. Huang has a kind heart."

"I'm not kind at all! I just can't stand it. It's not pleasant to be hungry." Huang Zhongchang touched his stomach and said, "Oh, right! We haven't finished eating the food and grass yet! You can arrange the people, but we can't transport them."

"Leave it to us." Yu Luo nodded in response, and then said, "If everything is fine, I'll leave."

"Goodbye!" Huang Zhongchang waved at him, watched Yu Luo leave, and slowly put down his hand.

"Dad, you're leaving so soon!" said the big tiger, looking up at him with his innocent little face.

"You still want to use the sky as your blanket and the ground as your bed!" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him tenderly with his head down.

"No, no." The tiger shook his head like a rattle and asked curiously, "Where are we going then?"

"The Yu family has to handle the funeral first! We have to bury the general as soon as possible." Huang Zhongchang said to his son with gentle eyes.

"We have to go to Xuecheng!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes flickering, "Xuecheng should be the base of the Yu family army."

"We're not going to Pengyi!" Da Chong said to them with his innocent eyes.

"How can you go to Pengyi without the king's summons? You are trying to disobey the king's order!" Shen Hui'e snapped her fingers at her brother and said.

"How many days will this funeral last?" Da Chong asked curiously.

"The weather is getting hotter, we can't keep the funeral for too long!" Huang Zhongchang pondered after hearing this.

"The general's funeral cannot be the same as the country folks'." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Each place has its own customs. Let's see how they do it!"

"You have to ask Mr. Zhang about this. We really don't know." Huang Zhongchang's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and pull out the weeds."

"Father, we can never pull all of these out!" said the tiger, looking at the endless fields of crops.

"We'll pull out as much as we can. After dark, we'll go back and pack up." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at them with his clear black and white eyes.

Shen Hui'e and her colleagues pulled weeds under the scorching sun for a whole day. After dark, they went back to pack up their things and eat something before going to bed.

When Yu Luo returned to report, he informed his own major general of what he had seen.

General Yu's eyes widened instantly. He looked at him in disbelief and said, "Weeding? Weeding the field."

"I am not mistaken." Yu Luo bowed.

"You really come from a peasant family." Young General Yu shook his head slightly and said in a hoarse voice. It was hard to tell what emotion he was expressing in his tone.

"After we set off tomorrow, tell me in detail about what happened to Mr. Huang and the others." Young General Yu said slowly while kneeling on his calves.

"Yes!" Yu Luo kowtowed in response.

"Go and get busy!" General Yu waved his hand and told him to leave. Looking at his father's body, he said to himself, "This Mr. Huang is really as good as you said! He is so highly praised. Let me see what kind of person he is."

The next day, at daybreak, after breakfast, Shen Hui'e and the others packed up and prepared to set off.

Yu Luo came over in a carriage, strode up to Huang Zhongchang and the others, bowed and said, "Is Mr. Huang ready?"

"Okay!" Huang Zhongchang patted the bag behind him and said.

"Is that all you have?" Yu Luo looked them up and down and asked. It was too shabby!

How can you be the lord? Don't you even have a carriage?

At least there should be a few horses to support the scene!

"These are enough." Huang Zhongchang said with great satisfaction, "When are we leaving? Just let me know." Looking at the horse behind him, "What are you doing?"

"The carriage is prepared for Mr. Huang." Yu Luo bowed and said, "These horses are prepared for the soldiers to travel."

"Oh! How can I feel so embarrassed!" Huang Zhongchang said embarrassedly with his eyes shining.

"Just keep it. I can't neglect you." Yu Luo looked at him with his bright eyes.

"Okay then! Thank you very much." Huang Zhongchang clasped his fists and bowed.

"Pack up your things, we'll set off soon." Yu Luo instructed them.

"Oh! Got it." Huang Zhongchang replied with a smile.

"I'm leaving." Yu Luo bowed and turned to leave.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Huang Zhongchang watched him leave, then waved his hand and said, "Quick, bring the horse and carriage over."

The soldiers happily stepped forward to take back the horses and carriages.

There weren't too many horses, and it wouldn't be suitable for anyone to ride them, so they might as well let the horses carry their luggage.

After everything was ready, Huang Zhongchang drove a carriage carrying his wife and son and set off behind Yu Jiajun.

Because of General Yu’s coffin, the entire army was in mourning!

"How many troops did General Yu bring with him?" Huang Zhongchang asked curiously, "I can't even see the end."

"There are tens of thousands of people coming to rescue us. Don't sacrifice yourself if you have fewer people." Shen Hui'e said as she sat cross-legged on the car and looked at the troops marching in front of her. Seeing the haggard appearance of the Yu family soldiers, "It seems that General Yu holds a very important position in their hearts."

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded slightly, "Not only that, it seems that General Yu treats the soldiers well on weekdays."

"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e sighed, "Now that we have lost our pillar, I wonder if this young general can stabilize the situation."
