Chapter 42
VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 42: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS MY FIRST VISIT TO THE THATCHED COTTAGE (1) Liu Bei POV Today was the same as always, clear as ever. This was the perfect weather to leave the city on a short expedition. Un… Let me see, food for the journey, my twin swords… Ah, and my feather fan. I was currently packing in my room and was feeling a little excited. Hu… After fitting in everything I could think of, I gave a long sigh and put my hand to my chest where I could feel my heart thumping. As I left the house, the intense sunlight made it difficult for me to open my eyes and I squinted for a while as I got accustomed to the light as I stretched my back.
Un~~~ Ah… So this day is finally here huh? I thought as I took out the feather fan that has been with me for close to year now. The words on the paper inside the fan have already been eroded but I still remember the words ‘Return to Owner’. I can finally return this feather fan and get some answers to the questions I have had. “Ah, is Xuan De leaving now?” “Un?” I turned around to see Gan Qing walking over and replied, “Ah yes. We will be going on a longer trip today so we’ll be back rather late.” “Late huh? What about dinner?” Gan Qing asked as she came up to me and patted the dust off me and tidied my clothing. The scene right now was something that you would expect from a married couple but Gan Qing always does this sort of thing with me and I have gotten used to it by now. “It depends. If we’re too late, go ahead and eat first.” “Un, alright. *Pa* *Pa* *Pa*” Gan Qing said as she proceeded to pat down the hem of my robes below my waist. “Ah, there’s no need for that, Gan Qing. It’ll get dirty when I ride later anyway.” I take back what I said. I am getting a little embarra.s.sed at what she is doing right now. “You can’t have that kind of thinking, you know?” Gan Qing replied seriously, “If you think that there’s no need to be clean if you’ll be dirty anyway then you will become a dirty fellow.” Wu. That does make sense. “But why is Xuan De waiting here? Are you still going?” “Ah, I’m waiting for someone. Yi De will be going out with me today.” I said as I looked towards Yi De’s room. “Ah yes, Gan Qing,” I decided to ask her something that has been on my mind since I had time now, “I’ve been rather busy of late and haven’t had any time to go and check with you. How is it with Liu Feng, is she getting along with Mi Zhen?” “Ah, Liu Feng huh?” Gan Qing smiled when she heard what I asked, “She’s a very nice girl and often tries to help me out. Thanks to her, Mi Zhen has become easier to handle.” “Really?” “Yes,” Gan Qing nodded, “She’s more obedient now that she has a playmate.” Ah~ I can picture it very clearly. Liu Feng is more introverted after all and will try to stop Mi Zhen from getting into trouble. At the same time, Mi Zhen will be more protective of Liu Feng so Mi Zhen is more obedient now. Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing to bring Liu Feng back. “But Liu Feng isn’t in very good shape as she doesn’t eat much.” Gan Qing said with worry, “I heard her family was killed?” “… Un.” I was not too willing to speak about this but I nodded, “I found her in the ruins of her home.” “Un… From how things look, she’ll probably need some time for her mental state to recover fully.” Recover fully huh… After being dealt with such a strong shock, can she really recover? Can her emotional and mental wounds heal? *Giiyaa* “Ah, she’s here.” Gan Qing said and when I looked over, I saw Yi De gingerly closing her door. She looked at me and seemed a little surprised but quickly waved. As I looked at Yi De, I began to feel that her situation was a little like Liu Feng’s. Yet I have never given up on Yi De nor have I given up on regaining her memories. If so, then what reason is there for me to give up on Liu Feng? “Gan Qing, please give Liu Feng special treatment when you can. She needs more love and care now.” I said as I turned back and patted Gan Qing’s shoulders, “I’ll be very busy for the time being so I’ll be counting on you.” When I am done with this, I will find the time to visit Liu Feng. “Un, I understand. Go and deal with your stuff, Xuan De.” Gan Qing nodded and smiled, “Leave the 2 children to me.” “Un, thanks for your hard work.” I nodded and bit my lips, feeling guilty, and turned to Yi De, “Yi De, let’s go.” “Ah, un.” Yi De said as she came over. “Have a safe trip, Xuan De.” “Un, see you tonight.” I said goodbye to Gan Qing as I went ahead with Yi De behind me. “I was packing just now, apologies for the delay.” “It’s fine, we have a lot of time.” I smiled as I looked at the sky, “Though you were later than I was, I was actually really early.” It’s actually an hour before the time Yi De and I agreed to meet after all. “Ah, un.” Yi De nodded and sank into silence for a moment before speaking up again, “But may I ask what is it?” “What is what?” “The business we will be attending to today and the reason why you will be bringing me along.” “Ah… That huh…” Of course I have to bring you. After thinking back and doing my best to recall what was supposed to happen, I recalled that Zhang Fei was supposed to be with me there. — I would very much like to say this to her but the last part will only trouble Yi De so I decided against it. “Un… See, everyone has been very busy of late.” “Eh?” Wu! No! How could I say such a thing?! It sounds as if Yi De has nothing to do. “No no no, don’t misunderstand me, Yi De. What I meant is I need you now.” “Need me?” Yi De asked as she tilted her head. “Un.” I nodded, “I can’t say it very clearly but to put it simply, I hope that you can come along with me for this.” When I finished, I looked at her with sincere eyes. Yi De met my gaze but very soon looked away frantically as she nodded, “A-alright, I got it.” Alright, Yi De seems to understand it, or rather she let it go. Good, the less she asks the better for me. “Then what do I need to do later?” “Eh?” “Yes, since you are bringing me along, is there any task you need me to do?” “Task huh…” s.h.i.+t. I never considered this. It’s not just her, I do not even know what I am supposed to do. I do not remember how the meetings with Zhuge Liang is supposed to go but it’s definitely not going to be a nice happy, heartwarming discussion after knocking on her doors. “Ah… We will discuss that later.” “Ah… Oh.” I decided to buy some time for now and do my best to think about what I needed to do. Good thing Yi De went along with it. But why did Liu Bei bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to see Zhuge Liang? It does not seem like they did anything of note… “My lord, Lord Zhang Fei, I’ve brought your horses.” Liao Hua said as she came over. Naturally, I was not going to ride Dilu. “Ah, oh. Thanks for your hard work.” I nodded as I took the reins from Liao Hua. “Here, Lord Zhang Fei.” “Oh, thanks.” Yi De nodded. “Will you be leaving now, my lord?” Liao Hua asked. “Yes, I’ll be trying to invite that saint out.” I said as I mounted my horse, “I didn’t think that it would be Liao Hua who would be bringing my horse though.” “I didn’t know that my lord was leaving.” “Eh?” “Lord Chen Gong told me about it and I happened to have something to bring as well so I brought the horses over for you.”
