Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 259. Delivering a Letter

After dinner, Hua Chengtian found his daughter. Though reluctant, he knew that what she said was true; she indeed was the most suitable person.

Knowing that his daughter, who possessed the blessed land space, wouldn’t be in danger, he also felt reassured that even if she was careless, she could protect herself.

His expression said it all, and Hua Jin knew her father agreed.

"Dad, I’ll set off at the crack of dawn tomorrow."

"Hmm, take White Tail and Lightning with you."

"Yeah, they can’t be left out."

"Once you find Luo Song, set out as soon as possible. I’ll leave marks here, so you can follow them to the valley."

"Don’t worry, Dad."

"Come on, let’s figure out what kind of signals to use."

They decided to mark each mountain peak with a lime arrow on the tallest tree as a signal after crossing it.

Still a bit uneasy, Hua Chengtian simply drew a map of the valley route, sketching out all the surrounding mountains from memory to mark the route to the valley. There might be slight deviations, but if you look, you should be able to find it.

With this map, Hua Jin felt truly confident. Although a bit abstract, it had all the necessary markers and wasn’t too hard to understand.

"Dad, you have such a talent for drawing. Just a casual sketch and the characteristics of the surrounding mountains are vividly on paper. Now I know where my painting talent comes from; it’s from you, Dad."

All this praise loosened Hua Chengtian’s furrowed brows, and he couldn’t help but grin wider and wider.

"You’re stating the obvious. If your father had had the conditions when he was young, who knows, he might have even changed the family’s fate," Hua Chengtian bragged shamelessly, and after speaking, he couldn’t help but laugh, and Hua Jin laughed as well.

"You’re right, Dad."

"Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. Rest well."

"Yeah." Hua Jin saw her father out of her tent.

After returning to his tent, Hua Chengtian told his wife about the child’s departure early in the morning, then got quite a few bruises from her scolding.

Through much coaxing and persuasion, Mrs. Qi had to reluctantly agree because she knew her daughter and husband were right, and the child was indeed the best candidate for this task.

Early the next day, Mrs. Qi got up to prepare food for the child, even though the child’s space wasn’t lacking, as a mother, she always wanted to give her child the best.

Thus, amid the family’s reluctance and instructions, at the first light of dawn, Hua Jin was already weaving through the mountains with the two great beasts.

After Hua Jin left, the old Hua gathered the entire village for a brief meeting, after which everyone started packing up, ready to leave at any time.

On the Dushui River side, Luo Song had already instructed people to pack everything that could be packed at home, all ready for when the weather warmed up to take his grandfather to meet up at Hua Village.

In order to get his grandfather out sooner, Luo Song put a lot of thought into making a compact sedan chair that allowed him to lay down comfortably. They planned to put blankets and a heated brick inside, so his grandfather wouldn’t suffer too much on the way.

Now, they were just waiting for the temperature to warm up a bit more, so they could start the journey.

Knowing that Hua’s family had been found, Luo Song finally felt at ease and stopped going out, much to the delight of old Mr. Luo, whose heart would always be on edge whenever his grandson went out frequently.

Especially recently when his grandson had been gone the longest, causing him great worry. Luckily, the child was safe and sound, albeit traveled far, but had found the Hua family they always longed for. Old Mr. Luo was quite pleased, especially eager to meet Hua, the life-saving uncle, and the wise old Hua.

Being able to leave here, old Mr. Luo was very happy. People, after all, cannot do without social interaction, especially as they age, they long for company. Hua Village is a large village, with many people, and he wouldn’t have to worry about having no one to talk to in the future.

Although there were quite a few people around to take care of him, there were few with whom he could genuinely converse. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

"Grandfather."

"Back already." Seeing his grandson, old Mr. Luo couldn’t help but smile.

Luo Song placed a small blanket on his grandfather’s lap and nagged, "Grandfather, you mustn’t be careless."

"It’s alright, I’m sitting by the charcoal burner, not cold. How’s everything on your side, all prepared?"

"Almost. If nothing unexpected happens, we should set off the day after tomorrow."

"Is everything arranged for the elderly?" These were the elders who followed him, so old Mr. Luo wasn’t completely at ease.

"Don’t worry, Grandfather, we’ve prepared several sedan chairs. By then, Grandfather and they can sit in them, and with many of us taking turns carrying, it won’t be too exhausting."

"Good, good. It’s taxing on the road, make sure the food isn’t too stingy, prepare more jerky and steamed buns, let everyone carry some with them."

"Yes," Luo Song nodded.

"Has the outside temperature risen somewhat?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow should be even warmer, so it won’t be as tough then."

"Grandfather, what you need to do now is rest well, so you’re ready for the journey ahead."

Looking at his gray-haired grandfather, Luo Song still felt a bit worried, but the temperature had started rising; if they waited until it warmed completely, the ice and snow would melt, causing floods between the mountains, and it’d be impossible to leave then.

Undoubtedly, with old Hua’s wisdom, they would leave before the ice and snow melted; trying to find them afterward would be even more difficult.

"Grandfather understands, it’s hard on you," old Mr. Luo said, looking at his grandson with heartache.

Luo Song picked up some hot tea from the charcoal basin and poured a cup for his grandfather. "Have some tea. Your grandson is strong, it’s not hard."

After staying with his grandfather in the cave for a while, Luo Song left and went to the cave where the livestock was being kept. They would be the main labor force in carrying grain and other materials.

Even so, with all the supplies he had and the hundreds of people under him, it would take several trips to move everything completely.

Luo Song was busy working diligently, while on Hua Jin’s side, she was making rapid progress. When tired, she and the two great beasts would return to the space to rest and eat a little. More often, she simply left them in the space.

Hua Jin moved so quickly that by the time the small animals in the mountains realized it, she had already run far away. After a moment of daze, they continued looking for food.

The entire process was very smooth. What was expected to take two days only took one; by nightfall, Hua Jin had reached the mountain range where Luo Song was located, feeling naturally satisfied.

But it was quite late by then. She released the two great beasts, lit a torch, and moved forward.

Looking for the landmark Luo Song had mentioned, a sturdy pine tree at the mountain’s summit.

Actually, there was no real need for torches. Although the twilight was thick, her spiritual power allowed her to see even an insect clearly within a certain range. It didn’t take much effort to find the pine tree Luo Song had mentioned, as well as the cave where they lived and the people, even perceiving their breathing; most had already rested, apart from a few.

The torch was merely to allow those standing guard and on patrol outside to discover her sooner.

Then, with a call to the two great beasts, she sped up as they leaped up the mountain.
