Chapter 39 40. Crisis

The brothers of the Gu family were not stupid. They observed carefully and soon realized that something was wrong.

"Second brother, go and tell your third uncle what you have discovered," Li Cuicui said as she held on to the carrying pole. "As for the others, find something to protect yourselves and protect the children in the middle. If things really get chaotic, we'll just take care of ourselves first."

Gu Dashi, "How can we do this? They are all brothers and nephews of the clan. We should help them if we can. I will call them all together. I don't believe that with so many of us, others will dare to come and provoke us."

Li Cuicui didn't bother to care about the old man's naivety. She called the other young grandchildren to the middle and repeatedly told them, "Wait a minute, don't cry or make a fuss, just follow your dad closely, do you hear me?"

Several half-grown children nodded ignorantly. Grandma was the boss of the family, so no one could disobey her.

Gu Yuanlei ran away quickly, which was the direction where the Lan family was resting.

"This youngest guy, he's just causing trouble." Gu Yuanhuo called out a few times, but failed to call him back, so he could only curse him angrily.

"This girl from the Lan family is really amazing. Look how much she has charmed the youngest son." Li Xiaohua glanced at her father-in-law. At this critical moment, a woman is much more important than a biological father.

"Yingying, come with me quickly." As soon as Gu Yuanlei arrived in front of Lan Ying, he immediately started to help her carry her luggage, leaving the Lan family members puzzled.

"Yuan Lei, what's going on? Is the flood going to happen?" Lan Tian came over quickly.

Gu Yuanlei, "Aunt Lan, we found something wrong and wanted you to stay with us so that we can take care of each other."

"How do you know something is wrong again? Could it be a mistake?" Lan Yun's face stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Gu Yuanlei didn't know how to explain, so he could only say dryly, "There are too many people gathered here, it's safer to stay together.

We have a big family, so if there is anything we can help out.”

"Brother Yuan Lei, we are doing well here. Look, we are in this corner and won't bother anyone else." Lan Ying pointed to the triangular crevice where they were. Although it was not a cave, it would attract other people's attention if they were in the corner.

"Why don't you move in with us? It's safer here."

Lantian secretly twisted her daughter's arm with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Gu Yuanlei was overjoyed and didn't notice the other party's little action at all. He looked at Lan Ying with tender eyes, "No, your place is not spacious enough. I just think that if you guys stay here,..."

Lan Yun took two steps forward to block his view, "Brother Gu, have you found a water source?"

When Gu Yuanlei heard about water, he couldn't help but lick his dry lips, "Not yet, but it should be soon. I'll send it to you when I find it."

After saying this, he tiptoed with joy and looked at Lan Ying through Lan Yun's ear. As long as he could collect some water, he could bring Yingying back.

Lantian walked behind her son and said, "Then you should go back first, otherwise the urinary incontinence may not be able to find you. Yingying is under our care and we will not treat her badly."

It is still unclear which side is more dangerous now. This silly boy is really stupid. Fortunately, I will never see him again after today. Otherwise, if my daughter really marries such a person, it will be enough to make her feel sick.

After a few words from them, Gu Yuanlei picked up the empty bamboo tube provided by the other party and returned to his team, looking back every few steps.

Li Chuntong and his men noticed the changes here immediately. They stopped looking around and all drew their weapons and surrounded the enemy.

Although the entire Baini'ao was alerted in advance, it still lacked the ruthlessness compared to these desperate criminals.

The gap between the two sides widened rapidly, many villagers were injured, and the cries of children and women could be heard from far away.

Gu Yuanjin and his brothers were protecting the family members in the middle. They were already bloodthirsty and would attack anyone who came close to them with the knives and axes in their hands.

Gu Yuanlei kicked away the short man who was attacking him, and distractedly looked at the Lan family not far away. He found that the family was huddled together, trembling as they looked in their direction.

He no longer cared about anything and rushed out waving the kitchen knife in his hand.

But in this way, the middle family member who had been tightly protected was left with a gap. Gu Dashi, who had just been standing behind him, had not yet reacted when he was hit on the arm by the oncoming machete. He let out a cry of pain, which made the other Gu brothers panic.

This person is prone to making mistakes when he is not focused. Gradually, the Gu brothers were all injured. The women and children who were originally protected in the middle also picked up sticks in their hands and fought these inhumane robbers in a disorderly manner.

Just when they thought they were going to die this time, some refugees moved.

"These bastards only know how to bully others in their own territory. They dared to rob others this time, so won't they dare to kill us next time?" Someone shouted, and many people stood up suddenly.

"Anyway, it's already like this. Even if I lose my life here today, I want to vent my anger. Why? Just because you have a knife in your hand, you can trample on others at will?

I can't bear it any longer. If I don't let it out, I'll be suffocated to death."

“Look at those beasts, they don’t even spare women and children. If they treat others like this this time, they might swing their knives at us next time.

Don't forget, it's broad daylight now, do you want to be kept awake all night? "

As soon as one person came, another one followed. One after another, people joined in. The refugees in Baini'ao were finally able to take a breather and were no longer being chased and attacked by the other side.

Gu Wenheng carefully helped Jin Qianqian back the same way. When they were halfway there, they looked at each other seriously, and then started running forward.

"Senior, take this thing," Jin Qianqian quickly took out the wooden warehouse that she had managed to get in the United States before. Based on what the senior had said before, one could guess that he must have touched this thing.

Gu Wenheng quickly took it and put it on his waist, pointing at the bushes in front of him, "Don't follow me, hide there and wait for me to come and pick you up."

Jin Qianqian shook her head. "No, one more person means more strength. I can protect myself."

"Then don't stay too far away from me. Now is not the time to be a hero," Gu Wenheng came back to his senses at this time. If Jin Qianqian left his sight, he would be worried.

As for this, it would be better if the two of them were tied together. He said with a double meaning, "If your life is really in danger, don't worry about me, just hide when you need to."
