Xue Dafu and the others didn't care about it at all. They even said a lot of comforting words to let Village Chief Zhu not feel embarrassed. When they told him their plans back then that it was supposed to be like this, Village Chief Zhu felt much better.
Originally, Xue Dafu wanted Xue Yifu to hitch a carriage and send Village Chief Zhu back. However, Village Chief Zhu said that an ox cart from their village had followed them and was waiting at the village entrance. He did not need a ride back. Xue Dafu and the others nodded their heads and said their goodbyes.
In reality, Village Chief Zhu had walked over. There was no ox cart waiting for him at all. It was just that the farmers were simple and honest and did not want to trouble Xue Dafu and the others.
Village Chief Zhu did not expect to meet Jiang Yue and the others not long after leaving Locust Village.
