Chapter 14: Return to Toda
"Sir! Can you take me to Toda Village? After arranging everything, Miss Xiao Jiasan said very apologetically to me.
"Yes, Miss Xiao San. Just don't know that all of us here can leave now? "Hearing the words of the third lady of the Xiao family, I still cautiously asked the most important thing.
"How can you say that, sir? Can't you trust me? Please sir, you must believe me, the Xiao family will definitely give everyone here justice, what face does our Xiao family have to continue to trap everyone. Please sir take me to the village to see the damage! The third lady of the Xiao family said ashamedly.
"Then I thank Miss Xiao San, if it weren't for your deep understanding of righteousness today, we people would continue to live in this treacherous hell, I only hope that Miss Xiao San can redeem the people who were sold as soon as possible and release those children." Receiving the affirmative reply from Miss Xiao Jiasan, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and now I am waiting for Bao'er and them to return.
"Oh! By the way, Miss Xiao San, when they arrested me half a year ago, they intercepted one of my burdens, I don't know if I can take it now? "I suddenly remembered my backpack, which had some useful things in it and had to be brought back.
"Sir, you can look for it in the residential area, you don't have to ask me." Miss Xiao Jiasan replied to me.
I searched for a long time, and finally found my backpack in the warehouse where the armed men usually put their miscellaneous items, and the backpack was randomly thrown in a corner by them, I hurriedly picked it up and opened the backpack, and there was no shortage of things in it, but the food that was previously placed in it had rotted and dried up after half a year, and the water in the water bottle was not used; It seems that the group of big men never opened my backpack at all, so they probably disdained my backpack!
"Jingda, let's go and call everyone home!" , I found the backpack and returned to it, and said to Jingda beside me; Then he said to Miss Xiao Jiasan: "Please wait for a while, and we will take you to the village." ”
Jingda and I walked towards Uncle Mao and them, in this mine, a distance not far from them, not so close, but not as heavy as before, and the steps seemed to be lighter at this moment; Everyone has been looking at me and Jingda nervously, looking at the group of people in front of me, I suddenly feel more cordial, like a family cordial feeling, the haze of the past seems to be quietly dissipating, disappearing into countless corners of this endless world.
"Uncle Mao, let's all go home!" Jingda approached the crowd and said this.
"Home?" Everyone was obviously stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Yes, go home, go home to Toda Village, we are free! Everybody will come back, everybody will come back to Toda Village. "I seem to really think of myself as a member of Toda Village at the moment," I said loudly to the crowd.
"Free, we can really go home, we are free." Everyone began to cheer, and the sound of the cold mine reverberated all around.
The third lady of the Xiao family also followed at some point, and when I saw everyone cheering and beating in this mine, I saw tears flashing in her eyes again, but this time it was not because of the tears of pain, and a smile appeared shallowly on her prosperous face; When I looked at her casually, she also looked at me, and my heart felt a little painful, and I immediately turned my eyes.
"Uncle Mao, let's go, no one will stop us." I repeated to everyone, and then said to Miss Xiao Jiasan: "Miss Xiao San, please come with us, Toda Village is not too far from here, only more than seven miles away. ”
The group walked mightily towards the mouth of the mine, where the priceless ore was getting farther and farther away, and none of the workers who had been tortured there were willing to look back at it when they walked out of the mine.
"I don't know what to call him?" On the way back to Toda Village, Miss Xiao Jiasan suddenly asked me.
"Back to Miss Xiao San, the commoner's surname is Zu, and his name is Yunxuan, which disturbs Miss Xiao San's ears. I wonder why Miss Xiao San is suddenly interested in knowing the names of civilians? "Hearing that Miss Xiao Jiasan suddenly asked my name, although I was puzzled, I still replied honestly.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm back in the family, and the family will definitely know the details of the matter, and if I can know your name, sir, I'll just tell it!" Miss Xiao Jiasan explained. I was even more puzzled when I heard her say this, the matter of the mine would not have any impact on whether I knew my name or not, I wondered how the third lady of the Xiao family, who was from a big family like the Xiao family, would want to know the name of a commoner? Although I was still confused, I didn't dare to ask any more, looking at the old man Uncle Ji's various behaviors towards this woman when he was in the mine, it showed that the status of this third lady of the Xiao family in the Xiao family was extremely high, and if he angered the third miss of the Xiao family at this time, all the efforts made in front would be in vain.
"I see, Miss Xiao San is thoughtful." I complimented.
"Sir, you're not from the Guwu Empire, right? It's not even a Toda villager! After the third lady of the Xiao family asked my name, she suddenly came up with such a sentence that was "earth-shattering" for me; Although I was surprised by her question at first, I didn't feel surprised when I thought about it in a blink of an eye, I am afraid that this third lady of the Xiao family heard from my accent that my spoken language did not look like that of a person from the Guwu Empire. It's not surprising that although I've been learning the language of this world very quickly in the past six months, my awkward voice is really obvious compared to their pure language. And I was not the only one who was surprised to hear Miss Xiao Jiasan ask this, Jingda was by my side, and I obviously felt that he was also nervous.
"Civilians admire Miss Xiao San's ability to discern! It is true that I was not from Toda Village before, let alone from the Gumu Empire. As for why I'm here, even I don't know. I can only tell Miss Xiao San that my hometown is far, far away, in the world of Sumeru, it is so far away that I can't even find it in my dreams, and I also traveled and came to the Guwu Empire by chance, and then I can't find my way home. But now I am a native of Toda Village, I am now just an ordinary villager of Toda Village, no matter where I go in the future, whether I leave the Eastern Realm, my blood has flowed here, and it is already closely related to it and cannot be separated, no matter how far I go, in this world, Toda Village is my hometown; So I want all the people of Toda Village to live and live happily in peace and contentment, and I don't want to see the people of Toda Village displaced, and I don't want to see such a beautiful village destroyed! I replied. I really didn't lie to her in the literal sense of these words, I didn't lie, I did come from far, far away, far away from what a luxury it would be for me to go back, and I did regard Toda Village as my home in this dimensional world, as for how the third lady of the Xiao family would understand, it was up to her.
"I see! Thank you, sir, for your doubts. The people of Toda Village will live happily ever after! Miss Xiao Jiasan said.
"Then I can borrow Miss Xiao San's auspicious words." I replied.
