Zhao Lan shook her head: “I don’t know, she asked someone yesterday to buy her a large piece of beef. When she got the beef, she worked on it the whole night at the door. She was still busy when I came out, so I don’t know if she will come.”
But just when Hu Feng turned around, Bai Zhi shouted from the distance: “Wait a minute–”
Hu Feng quickly turned around and saw a familiar figure running towards him. His tight face finally relaxed a bit, and a smile appeared in his eyes. This girl finally came.
Bai Zhi rushed in front of Hu Feng. She was gasping for breath, her small face was full of sweat. She pushed the small bag she was holding to Hu Feng and said: “Here, this is the dry food I prepared for you. You eat it.”
Hu Feng took the small bag and asked while frowning: “Just this?” When Meng Nan left, she prepared a lot, so why he only got so little?
Bai Zhi released a sigh of relief and smiled: “This is beef jerky. I marinated it and let it dry overnight. This can be stored for a long time. It tastes much better than steamed buns, and also it won’t make you feel hungry easily. I’m afraid that you already arrived in the military camp, but you will not finish it yet.”
After hearing this, Hu Feng’s frowning eyebrows became flat: “I can see you have a conscience.”
“Alright, alright, don’t delay anymore, otherwise you will be late. Hurry up.”
Hu Feng clutched the baggage in his hand and said to Hu Changlin: “Father, wait for me to come back, I will definitely return.”
Hu Changlin nodded his head as his eyes reddened: “Good, good, father believes you. You must take care of yourself, don’t be stubborn all the time. Remember, no matter what happens, you must protect your life first. Also remember that me, your aunt, Zhi’er, we will all be waiting for you to come back.”
Tough as always, but at this time, after hearing this, Hu Feng’s eyes also reddened: “Father, I’ll remember!”
Hu Feng walked away and sat at the oxcart. When his figure completely disappeared, he secretly wiped away the tears on his face, and forced himself to reveal a smile: “Let’s go, everyone let’s go now.”

On the way home, they bumped with Bai Dazhu. Bai Dazhu rented an oxcart today with his son, took the dried wheat at home to sell it on the town.
When Bai Dazhu saw the depressed mood of the crowd, he sneered at them: “What’s wrong? Your amulet disappeared so you feel uncomfortable?”
Zhao Lan pulled Hu Changlin to take a detour: “Just ignore him.”
Bai Dazhu was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, so he immediately stopped the oxcart in front of Hu Changlin.
Hu Changlin asked angrily: “Bai Dazhu, what do you want?”
Bai Dazhu raised an eyebrow and sneered: “What do I want? Of course, to make you pay. Did you already forget how your son twisted my arms?”
Hu Changlin also sneered: “That’s what you deserve, isn’t it? But here you are looking for me as soon as Hu Feng is gone?”
Bai Dazhu propped his chest and stood tall in front of Hu Changlin. He had a deterrent look in his face: “You have two choices, you either pay me with my treatment and recovery for 5 silver coins or just let me break your arms, then we’re all clear.”
Awu stepped forward and stood in front of Hu Changlin. He looked at Bai Dazhu and coldly said: “Break my arms, I want to know how it feels.”
Bai Dazhu angrily said: “Zhou Awu, this is the grudge between me and Hu Changlin, it has nothing to do with you, you better mind your own business.” These days, he didn’t take revenge, because he knew he was not Hu Feng’s opponent, so he temporarily swallowed his anger. But now that Hu Feng was gone, he can take revenge, so why would he let go of this opportunity?
