“Mother, what should we do in the future? Where is our home?
Er Bao’s mood seemed to have eased up a lot. This time, the question he raised was very realistic.
Home was the place they would eventually belong to, but it would not be this ‘other room’.
“This natural disaster affected a wide area. When we left, we used three days and three nights to run at full speed. Although we came back to save people, we were delayed for almost a month. But you can also think about how far we had gone.”
“Post-disaster reconstruction is not something that can be done in a day or two, and it’s not something that we should be thinking about. So, after we leave this place, I will still take you back to the north.”
MO Ruyue was a very realistic person, and she considered the most realistic things.
The natural disasters were indeed tragic, but the lives of the living still had to continue.
So what school should her babies go to next so that they could continue to receive a good education? This was the question that she had to consider first.
“We’re still going north. Does that mean our home will be in the north in the future?
San Bao’s nerves were obviously thicker. Although his home had been destroyed, and he was really sad to be forced to leave his home, the thought of being able to start a new life made him feel a little excited and expectant.
“I had originally planned to bring you to the capital in the future, but that was a plan for a few years later. I didn’t expect that a natural disaster would push this plan forward so much.”
“After Mother’s matters here are settled, we’ll return the way we came. This time, we’ll go straight to the capital.”
Mo Ruyue had originally wanted to walk steadily. She wanted to go from Qin Village to the county town first and make a temporary transition. Then, she would go to Ping City and slowly walk further.
However, the bridge was gone and Ping City was not in her path. Hence, she did not take a detour. It must be a post-disaster city waiting to be rebuilt.
Even if she had the intention to help rebuild some places, it would be under the condition that the babies were settled in and would not be affected by their normal lives and studies.
Her family’s situation had not been settled yet, and she did not have the mood to help others rebuild it.
They entered the capital.
These two words made the babies feel dizzy.
The furthest they had been to was the county, but now they were going to the capital. This was something they didn’t even dare to dream of, which somewhat diluted some of the sadness at this time.
“Alright, I’m going out now. Uncle Gu Ying is still waiting for me outside.”
Although MO Ruyue had only spoken a few words to the babies, it had already swept away all the guilt and avoidance that had been pent up in her heart these
What she needed to do now was to return to the outside world and finish what she had not been able to finish in time.
“Mother, when you return to the Qin Village, can you let us go out and take a look? Perhaps after leaving this time, I will never have the chance to come back.”
San Bao quickly made a request when he saw that she was about to leave.
“Don’t worry, I’ll first make sure there’s no danger outside before I bring you guys out.”
MO Ruyue readily agreed.
That was her original plan, but she would have to wait until she went to the Treasure Valley and was ready to leave. Then, she would let her babies take a last look.
After getting permission, the boys heaved a sigh of relief and were no longer as nervous as before. Only Tang Tang was still clinging to MO Ruyue and refused to get off.
“Mother, you really won’t be gone for another ten days before you return, Although she was with her brothers, Grandfather Liu, and Grandmother Liu, she still missed the days when her mother was by her side.
It would’ve been great if she had a little sister.
Tang Tang secretly thought to herself. She didn’t dare to let MO Ruyue find out what she was thinking.
Her father was no longer around, and her mother could not conjure up a little sister on her own, so she had better think about it secretly and forget it. She did not want to say it out loud to make her mother sad.
“Tang Tang, Mother will pick you up soon. Be good and wait for Mother at home, okay?”
MO Ruyue sighed. She had made Tang Tang sad and scared this time. She didn’t know how long it would take to comfort her.
However, this was also her fault in the first place. She should just communicate with the babies properly. Why did she have to hide?
After a long period of comfort, Tang Tang was finally put down. She waved at MO Ruyue and sent her out of the space.
“Bing ‘Er, you’ve come out.”
Gu Ying had already returned to the place where they parted. After seeing the message MO Ruyue had left, he waited at the same place and saw her come out not long after.
“Yes, when I was on my way back, I was ambushed by the babies. I don’t know how long they’ve been waiting for me. I’ve finally met them today.”
MO Ruyue explained what had just happened in detail in a reproachful tone, but one could not see how much affection she had in her eyes.
Gu Ying listened to her quietly. His eyes were like water, and there was a gentle smile on his face.
“What are you smiling at me for?”
MO Ruyue raised her head and saw his gaze. She couldn’t help but punch his chest lightly.
Only the heavens knew why she had so many of these little girl-like actions now. In the past, she was a pure iron-blooded woman.
“I’m happy to hear you so happy.”
Gu Ying laughed and reached out to tuck her loose hair behind her ear, then gently touched her cheek with his fingers.
Every action of his was telling her how precious she was to him.
“Ying, let’s go. The carriage can’t go on the next road, and it’s dangerous to ride a horse as well. It’s safer for us to walk.”
MO Ruyue couldn’t help but look away.
His gaze was gentle and warm, and she really couldn’t resist it.
The two people’s speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered dozens of miles.
“As expected…”
MO Ruyue stopped in her tracks.
The original location of the Qin Village had already become a deep pit. Only the house closest to the village entrance still had half a wall left, showing that someone had once lived there.
There were several cracks on the road leading to the back of the mountain, which should be the traces left by the tail of the meteorite when it fell.
The fire on the mountain had long been extinguished, leaving only charred trees, some lying down, some standing up.
After seeing the tragic state of the county, MO Ruyue didn’t have any illusions about the survivors of the Qin Village. Thus, she wasn’t particularly shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.
However, when she thought about how all the poultry and livestock at home had been reduced to nothing, and how the babies would feel terrible when they saw this, she also felt a little disappointed.
Although she lived in the Qin Village when she first came to this world, if her babies weren’t here, she wouldn’t have any sense of belonging to this place or even this world.
Therefore, even if the Qin Village and the county were destroyed by natural disasters, it was no different from seeing other places being destroyed.
“Let’s go around this pit and enter the mountain. The terrain has changed. It will take some time to find the Treasure Valley.”
Gu Ying didn’t have any feelings toward the Qin Village. He was more focused on observing the path on the back mountain. However, those huge cracks almost tore the back mountain apart. One could imagine how dangerous it would be to go up the mountain.
“I just took a preliminary look. The rocks on the mountain have been burned to crisp. We have to be extra careful when we step on them. We have to be fast so that we won’t cause landslides or falling rocks.”
Gu Ying squatted down, picked up a tree branch, and began to draw a sketch on the ground.
He was drawing the route to the Treasure Valley based on his memory, and it was a new topographic map derived from the current terrain.
This required a very strong sense of three-dimensional space as well as the ability to calculate, which happened to be one of the strengths of Gu Ying..
