Long Yang did not object.
His trip out of the capital was sudden and he did not bring any money with him.
They could not return via the cliff and had to take the longer route. Long Yang had no idea how far the journey back to the imperial capital would be; it might take a few days on the road.
He paused, then said, “If both of you are willing to come with me, I will make sure to arrange good accommodation for both of you. If you have other plans, feel free to let me know. I will do everything I can to help you get what you want.”
The hunter and his wife could tell that he would be true to his word.
However…
The hunter held his wife’s hand and said to Long Yang, “We are used to living here and we don’t wish to leave. However, I will lead you to town and help you hire a horse carriage.”
“Thank you.” Long Yang was silent for a long while before thanking them sincerely.
“You’re welcome. It’s probably fate that we are able to meet,” the hunter said warmly.
The hunter’s wife could not bear to separate from Ji’er. She had wanted to adopt Ji’er as their daughter, but Ji’er’s real father had come searching, so she had to give up on the idea.
However, this did not stop her from loving and caring for this baby girl.
Chu Qi did not object to leaving the hunter’s house.
The hunter’s wife put together a huge package for them the next day.
The package mostly included Ji’er’s clothes, diapers, and other essentials.
These were all bought piece by piece by the hunter and his wife during this period with Ji’er. Some were personally sewn by the hunter’s wife.
When she saw the look of surprise on Long Yang’s face when she passed the package to him, she immediately realized that a man like him might not be able to use them.
At the thought of this, the hunter’s wife grabbed right on the package hurriedly. Another thought crossed her mind and she released the package once more and said awkwardly, “I suppose you won’t be using these things once you return to the imperial capital. I think it’s best for me to just pick out a handful of items for Ji’er to wear on the journey.”
Long Yang turned and looked at the baby in Chu Qi’s arms. He began thinking about how it would be good to have one more person who loved her. With that in mind, he said, “I’ve been thinking about how both of you are getting old and do not have any children. You’ll be quite elderly in a few years and things might become inconvenient as you live here with no one to take care of you. I can tell that both of you like Ji’er a lot. If you’re willing to come with me to take care of her, Ji’er will be able to return the favor when you’re old. Feel free to consider this option.”
The hunter and his wife had helped Ji’er despite the difficulties. In addition to that, they liked Ji’er a lot. Since they asked for nothing in return, he could at least arrange for them to be by Ji’er’s side.
It was not a bad thing to have one more person to love and care for Ji’er.
Moreover, he could tell that the hunter and his wife were benevolent and kind people.
The hunter and his wife were both quite tempted by Long Yang’s suggestion.
He was right. They were still spry and healthy now. They led a carefree life living here, but they would be old after a few more years and if they suffered from any illness, there was no one to take care of them and they would be helpless.
If one of them passed away before the other, leaving their partner alone, it would be depressing at night.
Of course, they also sincerely loved Ji’er.
Even if they could not adopt her as their daughter, they were content to stay by her side and take care of her.
The hunter decided to place his wife’s opinion before his and would follow whatever she wished.
The hunter’s wife did not take a long time to make the decision. Soon, she nodded in agreement and said determinedly, “Alright. We’re willing to go with you and take care of Ji’er as long as you don’t find us a burden!”
