Chapter 27 Arriving Home
"Hey! How far do we have to go?"

Xiao Wu felt like she had been walking for a long time, but the two people in front of her never stopped. They passed by several villages, and every time she thought they were the ones, they turned out not to be.

"Look, I didn't lie to you. I told you our village is far away."

Lu Nan looked back at Xiao Wu and chuckled.

"Humph!" Xiao Wu believed it in her heart, but she had been walking for so long, she couldn't give up, right? And with her physical strength, she didn't feel very tired, she just kept walking and walking, it was boring.

"If I remember correctly, we are almost there. Our village is at the foot of the mountain not far away."

Because Lu Nan kept saying that their village was far away, and it felt like it took a long time to get back to the village this time, Tang San became a little uncertain.

"where?"

When Xiao Wu heard what Tang San said, the expression on her face suddenly became excited. She rushed in front of Tang San and the others in a few steps, looking curiously into the distance.

"Don't get your hopes up too much, maybe Xiaosan remembered it wrong."

"Humph! I won't do that."

Xiao Wu immediately refuted Lu Nan's words. She realized that Lu Nan did it on purpose, so she believed Tang San's words more.

When the three of them walked outside the Holy Soul Village, Xiao Wu looked at the three big words "Holy Soul Village" written next to it, and her mood suddenly improved. They finally arrived.

Tang San's house is on the west side of the village, at the entrance of the village, and Lu Nan's house is in the middle of the village, on the east side.

"Goodbye, my home is over there." Unlike Tang San's home which was close to the village entrance, Lu Nan still had to walk a little further inside.

Lu Nan had not walked far when he felt someone following him. Turning back, he saw Xiao Wu looking a little embarrassed.

"Xiao San said in the academy that his father has a bad temper, so..." Xiao Wu was discovered by Lu Nan and her expression was a little unnatural, but she still explained it embarrassedly.

"So you're scared?"

"Why would I be afraid? I'm so cute, his father will definitely like me."

“What did you say just now?” Lu Nan said with an expression of obvious disbelief.

"It's just that Xiao San hasn't seen his father for so long, I just don't want to disturb their reunion."

When Xiao Wu heard Tang San say in the academy that his father had a bad temper, although she said she was not afraid, she was still a little nervous in her heart.

And she heard Tang San say that Lu Nan was the only one at home, so after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to go to Lu Nan's house.

"So in order not to disturb Tang San and his reunion, you decided to disturb me?"

"." Xiao Wu did not answer, but lowered her head and muttered softly, "What? You live alone anyway, so what does it matter if I'm here?"

When Xiao Wu looked up, she saw Lu Nan had turned around and left, so she hurriedly followed him.

Lu Nan's house is built of wood, not an adobe house like Tang San's. I haven't been back for a year and I feel like there are a lot more mushrooms outside the wall of the house.

When he opened the door, a musty smell immediately came out from inside, so Lu Nan held his breath, went in as quickly as possible, opened all the windows, and then came out again.

"You can't go in for the time being." Lu Nan came out and said to Xiao Wu. "Oh!" Xiao Wu didn't complain. The house had been uninhabited for a long time.

Then the two of them ate something at the wooden table and chairs in the yard.

"What kind of person is Tang San's father?" Xiao Wu was very curious about this question, because Tang San said that his father had a bad temper, but she felt that Tang San had a very good temper. Since they are father and son, the gap between them should not be that big, right?
".He is very taciturn, and has a bitter and hateful expression all day long. He is never happy with anyone." Lu Nan was silent for a while, and recalled the appearance of Tang Hao in his memory.

"This..." Xiao Wu felt somewhat relieved. Just by listening to Lu Nan's introduction, she felt that Tang San's father was a very difficult person to get along with. Fortunately, she didn't go to Tang San's house, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"Okay, I'm going to go back to the house and clean up." After the two of them finished eating, the odor in the house should have dissipated a lot.

"I'll help too." Xiao Wu also stood up and said. After all, she was the one who forced to move in, so she felt embarrassed not to help.

When the two of them had almost finished cleaning the house, the village elder Jack walked in from outside.

"I heard from Xiao San that you're back, Xiao Lu, so I came to see how you've been doing in the academy this year."

Old Jack said as he entered the house. After he finished speaking, he saw that there was another person inside. "Who is this?"

"Grandpa Jack, this is my classmate Xiao Wu."

"Hello Grandpa Jack, my name is Xiao Wu!"

After the introduction, Old Jack asked some questions about Lu Nan and Tang San's life in the academy. When he learned that they were doing well in the academy, he left. Before leaving, he invited Lu Nan and Xiao Wu to his house for dinner, but Lu Nan declined.

"Which room should I stay in tonight?"

After Old Jack left, Xiao Wu asked Lu Nan, when they were cleaning the house, they only cleaned the living room and two of the rooms, and Lu Nan did not touch the remaining rooms. She thought that one of the two rooms she cleaned should be hers.

"The one at the innermost." Lu Nan pointed to the room on the innermost left side and said, the two rooms on the left and right near the door were where he and his father used to live.

"Then what should we do now?" After getting the answer, Xiao Wu asked again. The sun hasn't set yet and there's still time, but she doesn't know where Lu Nan will take her to play?

"Of course I went to bed!"

"Ah?" Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Nan's words, and then her face suddenly turned red. Did she hear it wrong?

But then Lu Nan used his actual actions to prove that he was not wrong.

Xiao Wu saw Lu Nan return to his room and close the door.

Suddenly Xiao Wu was the only one left in the living room. "What?"

After Xiao Wu realized what was happening, she was a little angry. How could she just leave the guests alone and go back to her room to sleep? Besides, the sun hadn't even set yet. How could she sleep in bed so early?
Helplessly, Xiao Wu could only return to her room. Although it was still early and she didn't want to go to bed so early, she had nothing to do at the moment and there was no one to chat with.

Tang San was not there, Lu Nan ran back to his room to sleep, and Xiao Wu could only lie on the bed.

Maybe it was because she had been traveling for half a day today, Xiao Wu felt extremely sleepy as soon as she lay down on the bed.

The same thing happened to Lu Nan in the other room. He practiced every day in the academy and had traveled such a long way today. After returning home, he naturally had a good rest and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
