Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 957 - 959: Leaving Anyi Village

Hearing her father agreed, An’an was overjoyed, "Thank you, Dad. Rest assured, I won’t be a bother to my sister."

Though An’an is only thirteen, she’s someone who values emotion and righteousness. Xiaoxiao and the others saved her from those people, and she’s been grateful ever since, wanting to repay them. As she thought about it, she felt that by following them, she’d have a chance to do so.

"Hurry and pack your things, follow them," Old An commanded.

"Alright, I will go now." An’an responded, quickly running to her room to pack.

Bouncing off like a child, she was indeed just a child.

During the wait, An’an’s mother repeatedly told Xiaoxiao that An’an was still young and asked them to forgive her if she did anything inappropriate on the journey.

Xiaoxiao agreed to each point, but the child seemed more sensible than her. It was likely An’an would be the one taking care of her along the way.

A moment later, An’an came into the room with a small bag. She didn’t bring much as she didn’t have many clothes. "Sis, I’m ready, we can leave now."

"Alright, let’s go then."

Xiaoxiao agreed, and the group headed out.

Once everything was arranged, they got onto the carriage.

The An Family was reluctant and concerned about An’an’s departure, as she had never left her family before. They kept giving advice and instructions.

After everyone had said their goodbyes, Old An said, "An’an, if you really meet Xue Zhiyi, tell him we don’t blame him anymore. Your sister’s death wasn’t his fault."

"Okay, I understand, Dad. I’ll definitely let him know when I meet him." An’an nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, hurry up and get going, or it’ll be dark soon."

"Then we’ll be off, Uncle An." Yang Ming untied the carriage reins, jumped onto the carriage, and the group began their journey.

The An Family remained standing at the door, watching the carriage until it disappeared from sight, then reluctantly returned inside.

Thus, Xiaoxiao and the others didn’t stay in Anyi Village for long before leaving.

Xiaoxiao opened a small window and asked Yang Ming, "Husband, where are we headed this time?"

"To Yangling County."

"Where is that?"

"Sister, do you see that mountain ahead? Go around it, and we’ll reach Yangling County territory. But it’s not a town, just a village like ours."

Xiaoxiao looked out the window, and it seemed quite close. This place was right at the boundary of two counties.

She found the geographical structure here curious, like Lin County and Shanshi County; the two county towns were very close, and a day’s carriage ride was enough to get there. But the counties were considered large, with land extending outward, yet the towns were adjacent.

The county where Anyi Village was located was similar, with the county town on the edge, closer to Beijing.

Xiaoxiao found it odd; shouldn’t county towns, these bustling places, be surrounded by countryside?

"Is this mountain where Divine Doctor Xue met your sister?"

Xiaoxiao looked, and this mountain was closest to Anyi Village, as they had just left the village.

"Yes, it’s this mountain. Our village used to go to this mountain for firewood and food, but not so much now because recently there’s been talk of bandits, and the villagers are afraid. We should be careful when passing this area."
