Has Ba Abandoned Us?
*Two hours later*
"Look it's Bàba!" Da-Xia's spirited cry drew the attention of a worried looking Ruolan, she turned sharply to see the general and Yu Xiaoguang walking side by side towards the expectant procession.
The general was intercepted by Pangling and the village head, while Yu Xiaoguang went off to inspect his cart.
Walking towards it, Mei Deng noticed the stares directed at his cart, rather at the man sitting in his cart, changed and groomed. Draped in dark blue robes and black pants, Kuángrén had his hair trimmed and styled with a wooden hair pin. His unkept beard was shaved off, revealing a charming man underneath the shabby exterior of the mad healer immortal.
"Not too bad." Yu Xiaoguang noted stepping onto the cart drawing Kuángrén's attention. He picked up a rice hat from the floor and passed it to him, "Keep that on until we leave, so the villagers won't recognize you."
He nodded and did as instructed.
