Chapter 401 I’m almost home
"Meet the Regent!"
When Lin Kang came out of the tent, he saw Jun Moxie who was ignored by the kids. He quickly walked up to him and bowed to him respectfully.
When the other kids heard Lin Kang's voice, they realized that General Cao had taught them that they should salute when they saw the Regent, so they all knelt on one knee towards Jun Moyue and saluted with their fists!
"Meet the Regent!"
The clear and uniform voices of the children startled the birds in the forest and made them fly up!
"No need to be polite, just get up!"
Jun Moxie waved towards the kids with a gentle look on his face.
He looked at Zhao Junle who had just come out of the tent following Lin Kang, his face regained its usual calmness, and said, "Deputy General Zhao, you are injured. I will give you two months to recuperate, and you can return to the capital in two months!"
"Yes, I thank the Regent!"
Zhao Junle was so happy that his face was dancing with joy, and he knelt down excitedly to kowtow to Jun Moye to express his gratitude.
"Get up!"
"Miss Lin, I'm going back now. Go to bed early!"
Jun Moxie's cold voice made Zhao Junle stand up, then he turned to Lin Xi and said goodbye to her gently.
"Okay, Jun Moxie, you should go back and rest as well. We will return to Linshan Village tomorrow and say goodbye to you in the morning!"
Lin Xi took the things from Jun Moyue and said, sticking out her tongue at him embarrassedly.
I forgot to take off the bag he was carrying.
Jun Moxie gave Lin Xi a warm smile and turned to leave.
Lin Kang led everyone to salute his back and said, "Goodbye, Prince Regent!"
After Jun Moyue's figure walked away, the children of Linshan Village excitedly gathered around Lin Xi again.
"Sister, you just said that we will go back to Linshan Village tomorrow, is that true?"
"Haha! Since the boss said so, it must be true!"
"Oh! That's great, I miss my parents so much!"
"Yeah! Home! Home!"
......
Lin Xi looked at his friends who were jumping up and down with joy and couldn't help laughing along with them. At this moment, they were just ordinary little kids missing home, completely different from the young soldiers who had been killing everyone on the battlefield a few days ago!
"Okay, everyone go back to the camp and rest, pack up your things, get up early tomorrow, dismantle these tents, tie them up, and return them to General Zhao and his men!"
Lin Xi shouted loudly to his friends who were still laughing and talking excitedly.
"Yes, boss!"
Everyone agreed in unison and quickly ran back to their tents.
Jun Moxie stood at the gate of the military camp, listening to the lively voices from Lin Xi's side, and couldn't help feeling lonely in his heart!
After the people on Lin Xi's side dispersed, he walked towards his tent with his hands behind his back. The bright moonlight stretched his shadow long. There was silence in the military camp, and only the chirping of katydids could be vaguely heard coming from the forest not far away!
"Xinghua, come here!"
After her friends left, Lin Xi saw Xinghua and several other girls standing not far away, looking at her with a confused look on their faces. She smiled and waved at them.
"Boss!"
Xinghua and the others came up to Lin Xi, called out to him, and then said nothing more, with a look on their faces as if they wanted to say something but stopped.
"Xinghua, I will send you back to the village tomorrow! When you go back, live a good life with your mother and grandmother. The regent will reward you when he returns to the capital! The regent said that he will arrange officials to help the people rebuild their hometown. Life will definitely get better in the future!"
Lin Xi looked at the girls in front of him and smiled gently.
She had thought about taking them back to Linshan Village before, but when she saw the struggle in their eyes just now, she instantly understood that no one would be willing to leave their hometown from the bottom of their heart, especially in this dynasty.
Although that small mountain village holds their painful memories, it is also where they grew up and has many good memories there!
"Why don't you say anything? What are you thinking?"
Seeing that no one responded, Lin Xi asked gently.
"Boss, I don't know what to say. I want to take my mother and grandmother away from the village. Whenever I see my house, I think of my grandfather, father, and brother. My heart aches. But when I think about leaving, I feel empty inside, as if I have lost something very important!"
Xinghua didn't know how to express her feelings. She looked at Lin Xi with a frown and said, her eyes were full of confusion at this moment.
"I understand. Go back. After everything is settled, if you miss us, you can go to Linshan Village, Linshan County, Guandong Prefecture to find us. We are always here!"
Lin Xi sighed. She understood Xinghua and the others' dilemma very well, so she simply made the decision for them.
"Okay, Boss, we'll listen to you!"
Xinghua and the others gritted their teeth and nodded towards Lin Xi.
"Go back and pack your things. Tomorrow we will send you back to the village first, and then go back to Guandong Prefecture!"
Lin Xi raised his hand and touched Xinghua's head, then gave them a warm smile.
"Okay, Boss, you should take a rest too!"
Xinghua and the others couldn't help but shed tears when they thought about their separation tomorrow, and came over to hug Lin Xi tightly.
Lin Xi let them hold him for a long time. Then Xinghua and the others wiped their eyes, forced a smile at Lin Xi, and ran back to their tent.
"Lin Xi girl, I can rest for two months. Haha, I can go back to Linshan Village with you guys!"
Zhao Junle, who was standing not far away waiting, waited until Xinghua and the other girls left, then ran to Lin Xi and said excitedly while winking at her.
"Okay, a warm welcome. My mother will definitely be happy to see you. By the way, aunt, these are the clothes and daily necessities I packed from your tent. Do you need to go back and pack your things? We will set off tomorrow morning!"
Lin Xi pointed to the bag in his hand and said to Zhao Junle.
At first, she didn't expect Zhao Junle to have such a long rest time, and naturally didn't expect that she would go back to Linshan Village with them, so she simply brought her some clothes and toiletries.
"Okay, I'll go back and pack now. By the way, Lin Xi, I won't be back tonight, so you should go back and get some rest. You can pick me up at the military camp tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Junle grinned at Lin Xi, then ran towards the military camp!
"Aunt, do you want me to help you clean up? You can't move your injured arm!"
Lin Xi asked loudly towards Zhao Junle's back.
"No need, there are so many brothers here, I'll just let them help me!"
Zhao Junle didn't even turn his head. He raised his intact arm and waved towards Lin Xi, then continued to rush towards the military camp!
Lin Xi looked at her quickly disappearing back, smiled and shook his head, then walked towards Chen Dawei's tent!
