MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

 So the fourth aunt was very grateful to her daughter-in-law, whom she met for the first time.

So he walked over and bowed solemnly, clasping his fists and bowing. The frightened woman quickly came to help him.

"You saved my son's life, and you have taken care of him for so many years. You did not dislike him for being disabled, but you even had children with him and gave him a family. So I remember your friendship. Come on, let’s live a good life in the future, you are my best daughter-in-law, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will pluck out their tongue and serve it with wine and food!”

 The fourth aunt is getting older, but her temper is not very gentle.

  Probably because he saw his son, he was even more happy, so he spoke as arrogantly as before.

Zheng Deli and Ni Yang looked at each other. They had seen the abilities of the fourth old lady in her prime, so they had no doubts at all.

Luo Yi looked at her fourth aunt in confusion, and then she understood when Gu Jiulang signed for her.

So he smiled very sincerely and said something.

The fourth aunt looked at Gu Jiulang inexplicably and asked curiously.

"what did she say?"

Gu Jiulang smiled, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: Thank you, mother.

The word "mother" made the fourth aunt couldn't help but blush. Then she quickly wiped her tears and changed the subject.

“Let’s go, it’s getting dark, let’s get out of here first.”

 Everyone was eager to return home, so they never thought of staying here for one night. Luo Yi and the two children grew up in the mountains, so they were not afraid to follow them into the woods.

Just before leaving, Luo Yi anxiously signed a series of signs to Gu Jiulang, and then, fearing that everyone would not understand, he immediately pointed to the house outside.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't even need to look at Gu Jiulang's writing to understand what she wanted to express.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know about Ninth Brother's situation at that time, so I **** the people in your village. Someday I will have someone send some salt and iron in to express our apology and the care they have taken for Ninth Brother over the years. "

He had followed Luo Yi, mother and daughter all the way into the village before, and had seen her greeting the neighbors, so he naturally knew that their relationship was not bad.

Seeing this, Gu Jiulang quickly informed Luo Yi in sign language.

Everything can be found in the village, but salt and iron are scarce, so when he heard that Gu Shaoyu wanted to bring something in, Luo Yi was happy and bowed quickly.

 For them, this is the most useful thing.

Gu Shaoyu gave these as gifts, which were much more valuable than the brocade clothes and jade utensils.

Gu Jiulang's wheelchair was not easy to use on the road, so Ni Yang made a sling out of bedcloth and tied him directly to his back.

Although Gu Jiulang is an adult man, he has become light and airy after recuperating over the years, so he is not a burden to everyone. He can carry him alone for two hours, and there are hundreds of them, so they naturally take him away quickly. here.

 When I came, it was extremely time-consuming because I had no goal.

But it was different when walking. I only had one direction in mind: Cezhou. I crossed the stream, drilled into the cave, and then followed the traces they had left before and walked out of the forest.

 In five days, they returned to their previous camping location.

There were still about ten people left here, all young soldiers. When they saw Gu Shaoyu and others appearing, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's been almost a month since the general left, and he's finally back. My wife sent me a message the day before yesterday asking when we will return?"     Yes, when he left, he went directly from the end of June to the end of July, and he didn't even notice it. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated in a few days, so he looked at Gu Jiulang with a smile and said with a bit of joy.

“Go and tell Madam that we will return after a few days of rest. In addition, inform them that Jiulang has been found.”

 “Yes, General.”

These young soldiers have never seen Gu Jiulang, so when they saw him, they only respected him, but they were not as excited as Ni Yang and others.

Gu Jiulang raised his head and looked at the sky. It was obviously the same as what he saw in the village, but to him, it seemed as if he had regained his freedom!

 Then he patted the shoulder of Zheng Deli, who was carrying him, and motioned for him to put him down.

"Major General, wait a moment. Old Zheng will carry you to the tent to rest. It will be more comfortable."

However, Gu Jiulang shook his head and pointed to the stone beside him. The meaning was very clear that he wanted to lie down here.

Zheng Deli felt it was not appropriate. He was about to give some advice when his fourth aunt stopped him.

"If he wants to go, let him go. The stone is hot in the sun, but I want to see if he can jump?"

I have to say that the fourth aunt was in pain everywhere. She knew that her son's leg was disabled, but she worshiped him as a Bodhisattva at all, but she still acted like before.

So Zheng Deli didn't care, stepped forward and put him on the stone.

As expected, the places where his palms touched were very hot, but his legs felt nothing.

When Gu Shaoyu saw this, his eyes darkened. He didn't respond to the heat. It can be said that there was no hope of curing this leg.

 But he couldn't say that, so he explained the situation in the letter, and then sent someone to Cezhou.

Although they gained a lot from their trip into the mountains, everyone kept running in exhaustion and never stopped. Therefore, most of them fell asleep not long after returning to the camping place.

Zheng Deli's snoring was louder than anything else, but it was such a sound that felt very reassuring to Gu Jiulang's ears.

Gu Shaoyu came over and handed him a pancake and water bag. Then he also sat on the stone, but he put a straw mat on it, which made it less hot.

 Then he also got one for Gu Jiulang. When he stood up, he specifically looked at the bottom of his legs. They were all red, so the heartache and helplessness came over him again.

"Don't torment yourself like this. Even if you can't feel your legs anymore, your skin and flesh are still yours. Although the fourth aunt said that deliberately, she feels very sorry for you."

Gu Jiulang smiled silently, and then nodded.

 Eating the pancake in big mouthfuls, I drank some water when I felt choked.

After he calmed down, he took out a pen and paper and asked again.

 “Is everything okay at home?”

"Okay, it's just that the first ten years before my grandfather and the others left, the house was always lifeless. Later, after I defeated Dajin in Cezhou, returned to Sui'an City, and took your sister-in-law south to review our family and worship our ancestors, the house became lively. Get up."

"Then you are lucky. I thought no one would marry a murderer like you!"

 Gu Jiulang wrote the words they used to joke about. Gu Shaoyu squinted his eyes and punched them lightly, and then said in a feigned manner.
