With a few days of rest in between, Lin Fan and Ho Ming decided to go back to An Xiang Village for a visit.
Ho Ming was worried about the village with all the rebels and turmoil going on.
The journey wasn't too long, and they arrived within two days of travel.
There were wooden barricades at the entrance and villagers guarding it.
"Look, it's Lin Fan and Ho Ming!" When the villager guarding the entrance saw who it was, he shouted with joy.
It immediately felt safe to have them around.
Ho Fu quickly came out with his smoke pipe and greeted them.
"Lin Fan, I am glad to see you again. Times are getting bad, do come in for some tea," Ho Fu said, and when he noticed Ho Ming, he gave him a nod.
Ho Ming's face lit up when he saw that.
His father, for the first time, didn't nag at him when he saw him.
"Good to see you too, village head," Lin Fan replied.
