The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 171 - 143

"Girl, keep an eye on the cart." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

At the station, Mo Yuanle got off the bullock cart, tied the grass rope to the nearby electric pole, and headed into the station.

"Uncle, where are you going?" Lan Tian, having alighted from the bullock cart, saw him walking towards the station and called out to him.

"I’m going to buy your ticket; you wait here, don’t wander around, and Chunhua, you keep an eye on her." Mo Yuanle walked a few paces, then turned back to instruct her.

Lan Tian laughed, her smile as radiant as the March sunshine, so dazzling. How long had it been, and her uncle still held a shadow in his heart.

"Uncle, don’t go. It’s very crowded inside, and there are many pickpockets. Be careful they don’t slit open your trousers. When coming back, I bought my own ticket. Didn’t I also buy my own ticket in Shanghai without any trouble? The ticket back to Shanghai was bought by the military in advance; it’s in my pocket. It’s very cold outside, you and Chunhua go back first. When I arrive in Shanghai, I will write back."

"Then I’ll see you into the station." Mo Yuanle insisted on watching Lan Tian enter the station even though no ticket was needed, and Lan Tian had no choice but to go in.

There was a long queue at the ticket check, and Lan Tian joined the line. There were at least several dozen people ahead of her, and Mo Yuanle wanted to wait with her, but was rejected by Lan Tian.

"Uncle, there are still dozens of people in front of me. It will be quick to get into the station. Please go back, I’m worried about Chunhua waiting outside by herself."

Mo Yuanle looked up ahead, and in the time it took for them to talk, six or seven people entered. The line was moving quite quickly; Lan Tian would reach the checkpoint in about fifteen minutes.

"Alright, then I’ll head back. Be careful on the way, and don’t talk to strangers," Mo Yuanle instructed.

"I know, uncle, you can go back!" Lan Tian nodded, slowly followed the crowd ahead, and Mo Yuanle, after watching for a while, turned and left. Lan Tian released a strand of Divine Sense to follow him, and once Mo Yuanle was gone, Lan Tian left the long-distance bus station and ran into the alley. When she saw no one was around, she activated her Wind Control Skill and swiftly headed to Shanghai.

When Lan Tian returned, she mentioned she would probably come back to Shanghai in the next few days.

On the ninth day, Granny Lin started looking out the door from the morning. As evening came and no one arrived, the outside grew dark and was about to turn to night. She murmured, "Didn’t Miss Lan Tian say she’d come back today? Why haven’t we seen her yet? Could something have happened?"

Eldest Daughter-in-law Lin also looked towards the door. "Mother, don’t worry. Miss Lan Tian is very clever, nothing will have happened to her."

Granny Lin knew this, but her heart was still anxious, and she couldn’t help but sigh. "I know, but I feel so empty inside. This girl has too much courage, coming back without letting anyone pick her up at the train station. It always makes me anxious. The station has been a mess these days, sigh!"

"If you’re really worried, I can tell Guo Fu to go pick her up," Eldest Daughter-in-law Lin suggested after thinking.

"Alright, call the third lad to go have a look."

Lin Guofu was reading in the upstairs teahouse when he heard his mother’s command. He hurriedly came down to drive to the train station to pick up Lan Tian. As soon as he exited the alley, he saw a figure across the street that looked very much like Lan Tian, who was looking around at the oncoming vehicles while walking towards this side.

Lin Guofu parked the car on the side and waited for the figure to approach. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lan Tian, the person he was meant to pick up.

Lan Tian also saw the parked car on the road. The license plate belonged to Great Grandpa Mo’s family, so she looked over and saw Lin Guofu waving at her from the car.

"Brother Lin, headed out?" Lan Tian hadn’t expected him to come pick her up and thought he was out on business. They just happened to meet, so she went over and greeted him.

"Going out? What for?" Lin Guofu smiled brightly. "I’m here to pick you up. Get in quickly, the family is waiting anxiously."

Hearing this, Lan Tian was startled, then curved her lips into a smile as she got into the car.

At around six or seven in the evening, it was just the time to prepare for dinner. Granny Lin and the others were cooking, including Lan Tian’s share. Granny Lin carried dishes inside the house and heard a car outside the yard. It sounded right at the front door, which was strange. She went to the hall door to look outside.

The third lad had just left; it shouldn’t be their family’s car, should it? Granny Lin wondered but stayed at the door, continuously looking out. She then saw the main gate open, and Lan Tian walked in.

Upon entering and seeing Granny Lin standing at the door, Lan Tian paused, her gaze flickering, and she hurried over, "Granny Lin, happy new year!"

"Happy new year! Happy new year!" Granny Lin came forward, pulling Lan Tian into the house, examining her from head to toe. "Come in, it’s windy outside, don’t catch a chill. Why have you come back so late? Did the train get delayed? Or were you held up on the road?"

Meanwhile, Lin Guofu, who had come in behind her, was completely forgotten by Granny Lin. He stood at the entrance and watched as Granny Lin busied herself. Seeing Lan Tian looking his way, he made a funny face, causing Lan Tian to almost laugh.
