CHAPTER 776: 776 RETURN TRIP

"Mom, go to sleep, go to sleep."

Although it didn’t express it clearly, Yuanyuan understood its meaning and went directly to the land where the Spirit Plant was planted, planting the grass.

"Mom, sleep, time to sleep."

Yuanyuan summoned a cup of Spiritual Spring Water and poured it over the plant.

She heard a comfortable moan, and that was it.

Yuanyuan stood up, smiled, shook her head, and then left the space. It’s better to wait for them outside now, it’s already past three, and dawn is approaching.

It was dawn. Yuanyuan used her Divine Sense to scan the area and found Zhang Chunsheng, along with the very disheveled Chengzi and Da Linzi.

Now she could relax. As long as they were alive, it was fine.

Zhang Chunsheng was actually quite disheveled too. When he realized it was dawn, he immediately rushed in the direction of the markers and saw Yuanyuan standing there, which finally reassured him. He sped up.

"Yuanyuan, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, how about you? Why didn’t you come back last night?"

"I don’t know either. Suddenly it got dark, and I couldn’t see anything, even with a flashlight."

"Hmm, we’ll talk about it later. Let’s see if we can find Chengzi and the others."

Zhang Chunsheng couldn’t care about anything else now. The two of them split up to search.

Zhang Chunsheng’s direction was exactly where Chengzi and Da Linzi were.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan. Chengzi and the others are here."

Yuanyuan ran over too. Chengzi and Da Linzi were still conscious. Upon seeing Zhang Chunsheng, they thought it was an illusion. But when they heard Yuanyuan’s name and saw her coming over, they realized they had been rescued?

Zhang Chunsheng squatted down to give them water. They had run out of the water and food they had brought, leading to their current situation.

After drinking the water, the two of them felt much more energized.

Zhang Chunsheng wanted to help them up, but they refused.

"Leader, we’re fine.

Sister-in-law, we thought we were dreaming just now."

Yuanyuan smiled, "It’s alright, let’s go, I brought some rice, I’ll make some porridge for you, and we’ll leave tomorrow."

Chengzi shook his head. "No need, sister-in-law, we can just eat whatever we have, let’s quickly leave this place, it’s really too strange."

"Are you sure?"

Both nodded.

Zhang Chunsheng took out some pancakes and handed them to the two, watching them devour the food, Yuanyuan felt a pang in her stomach.

After eating and resting for half an hour, Yuanyuan gave each of them two candies to hold in their mouths. This should help replenish some energy quickly, right?

The four of them walked out along the markers.

Chengzi and Da Linzi were in good physical condition, and they recovered quickly, so their pace was quite fast.

When night fell, none of them dared to continue. They were terrified.

They lit a fire to rest. There wasn’t much pancake left. Each of them ate a piece of pastry.

Two days later, they finally emerged from the primeval forest.

Zhang Chunsheng drove them to the nearest county by night.

Only then did the four rest, Chengzi and Da Linzi truly felt like they had survived a calamity.

It was always darkness, nothing could be seen, really, even the flashlight was useless. They held hands tightly, fearing they would get separated.

Now they were saved and still alive.

The two of them had even thought about leaving instructions inside.

The next day, they set off. Zhang Chunsheng decided to go back with them.

This little getaway was enough, and most importantly, Yuanyuan had forgiven him. Besides, seeing his brothers like this, he couldn’t let go. So it’s best to return. Since he couldn’t let go, he should get to work.

On the way, the three of them shared the experiences they had inside, all of them were the same.

"What about you, sister-in-law?"

"I never left the spot you marked, I could still see the stars in the sky."

The three of them were thinking, is this preferential treatment? But it’s also good, leaving a woman in the dark, she’d probably be terrified.

Three days later, they arrived at the Zeng Family.

Zeng Hongling was so happy to see Yuanyuan return that tears of joy fell.

"It’s alright, didn’t I come back? How’s everything?"

"I’ve been worried about you all along. Yang Liulang said you definitely wouldn’t be in trouble."

Yuanyuan nodded, "Right, I definitely wouldn’t be in trouble."

"You all rest. I’ll make dinner."

Zeng Yixin went to boil water. They had dinner after the four washed up.

The journey was indeed quite exhausting, and now at a safe place, Yuanyuan especially felt tired.

She slept through till the next day.

After breakfast, "Yuanyuan, the three of us are heading back. They need to submit the task, and I can’t stop worrying, I want to go back.

If you need anything here, just call me. Or go directly to the police station."

"Alright, you three go back."

The Zeng Family tried to keep them but were refused; everyone had a lot of work to do.

Zhang Chunsheng even gave Zeng Hongling a gift of twenty dollars, although he initially planned to attend their wedding, now he couldn’t.

After they left, Yuanyuan returned to her room. Her physical fatigue disappeared, but she was mentally tired.

The grass in the space had no reaction, it seemed to really be sleeping as it said.

At noon, Yang Liulang came by, seeing Zeng Hongling’s happy face, "Yuanyuan’s back?"

"Yes, she came back yesterday."

"I told you, nothing would happen to her. Now you’re at ease?"

"Yes, relieved. The guy from the Capital went back with his friend."

Neither of them realized how well they were getting along now, though it wasn’t the sweet intimacy of lovers, it was much better than the polite and reserved interactions they used to have.

The next day, Yuanyuan accompanied Zeng Hongling to buy groceries outside, and they ran into Tian Susu again.

Seeing them, she avoided them but stood in a corner staring fiercely at Zeng Hongling.

Previously, they said the woman from out of town was liked by Yang Liulang, but to her embarrassment, it turned out to be the contemptible woman from the Zeng Family who was marrying Sixth Brother.

She was mentally twisted. She could get married, but seeing Yang Liulang marry she’d just fall apart.

However, she dared not act now, if Li Er found out, it wouldn’t end well, right?

Both saw Tian Susu. Yuanyuan chuckled, this woman was truly amusing, but as long as she didn’t stir up trouble, they wouldn’t bother with her.

Zeng Hongling wrinkled her nose, "That woman has issues, doesn’t she?"

"Alright, just ignore her. Don’t let it spoil your mood."

Today, they bought quite a bit of meat, mainly because Zeng Hongling wanted to make sausages.

"When we get back, you just talk and I’ll do it."

"We can make more, it’s not much different from your smoked meat here."
