Chapter 202: We Must Die Together

"Mom, I'm fine."

Ding Xiaodie looked at her mother tenderly. Although she was not the same as in her previous life, the maternal love in her eyes was unreserved. She suddenly felt very guilty.

In my previous life, I lived a carefree life. Later, after I started working, I often didn't go home and had little communication with my mother, so sometimes we had some minor bumps and bruises.

Now she is going to save her father, and her life or death is uncertain. Maybe this separation... will be forever.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiu noticed that her daughter looked at her differently than usual and asked with concern, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Ding Xiaodie's breathing was already choking. She turned her head and quickly calmed down, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Mother, the second young master just went ahead to explore the road. There is a village ten kilometers away. The eldest young master said that our next stop is that village."

"That's a good thing. Stop and wait for your father and the others. It's a good thing." Zhang Xiu's voice lowered a few degrees.

She was always thinking about the man, but she had to hold it in because she was afraid of affecting other people's emotions.

Ding Xiaodie felt a pain in her heart.

When it comes to awareness, my mother and the women in the village whose husbands followed Master Lu out all have a high level of awareness. The men did not come back at the agreed time, but everyone endured it silently, and did not make a fuss even if they secretly wiped away their tears.

In this regard, Zhang Xiu played a very important role.

The villagers saw that Mrs. Lu was neither anxious nor irritable, and that Zhang Xiu was neither crying nor making a fuss.

Well, these two men in the family are the leaders. If they are fine, then they should be fine too.

So Zhang Xiu did a great job in providing reassurance.

After combing her hair, Ding Xiaodie told her mother, "When the team sets out later, you take care of grandma. Master Yunliu and I will stay at the back of the team."

Although there are so many people in the village, there are very few who are smart, can take care of things, and can leave their families alone. Zhang Xiu understands that her daughter is contributing to the village. As long as there are no desert soldiers coming, she can take good care of the old woman.

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Ding Rong's family came in front of them with their entire family.

"Auntie, I'll push grandma's wheelbarrow later." Ding Shan said in a low voice, but he was dull and introverted, and he didn't even look at people when he spoke.

Ding Rong and Zhu were a little restrained. The two families had such a fierce quarrel in the past. This time, Ding Xiaodie did not fear danger to find them, which really brought about a big change in her heart.

Ding Rong, in particular, was too embarrassed to look at his sister-in-law Zhang Xiu, and he dared not look at his own mother.

Only Zhu smiled awkwardly: "Look, Ah Xiu, after all, we are a family. It is only natural for us to help each other along the way. Just let Ding Shan do the pushing!"

Zhang Xiu was a little confused. Did he change his personality after running away?

Ding Xiaodie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She signaled to her mother with her eyes to believe them for once.

Now that she is leaving, her mother and grandmother really need help.

So Zhang Xiu also smiled: "Sister-in-law is right, we are a family, let the past be the past, and from now on, let's get along well."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu felt mixed emotions.

Ding Xue, who was standing nearby, didn't express her opinion, but she quietly grabbed Ding Xiaodie's sleeve and pulled her a few steps closer before saying, "Xiaodie, let's not talk about the past anymore, but I have something to ask of you."

"What?"

"You and the two young masters of the Lu family are friends. I see that you get along so well. Could you please give the eldest young master a hint on my behalf and tell him that I... I have feelings for him."

“…”

Ding Xiaodie was very upset.

Isn't her usual "hints" enough? But Lu Chenhe never even looked at her. This is not just because of her appearance, but also because of a person's cultivation and knowledge.

Although Ding Xue is not an ugly person, she is illiterate and has a very rustic demeanor in her every move. How could a young master like Lu Chenhe be interested in her?

But she... just wouldn't give up.

But now Ding Xiaodie was too lazy to argue with her about this, and she also had her own selfish thoughts. Who wouldn't love a man like Lu Chenhe? Wasn't she also attracted to him? So how could she possibly help Ding Xue spread such words?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ding Xue said anxiously: "Our two families have reconciled, and you still won't help me?"

Ding Xiaodie was speechless. Before she could finish her words, she heard Ding Xue say, "I met two servants of the Lu family whispering to each other earlier. I overheard them and learned that Young Master Yunliu has already proposed to Madam Lu about you. So even if you like the eldest young master, there's absolutely no way you two can be together. Humph!"

What?

Ding Xiaodie was dumbfounded!

She didn't expect Yun Liu to dare to make such a big joke. She thought he was just talking, but he actually went to tell Mrs. Lu.

In a hurry, he asked: "Do they know what Madam Lu said?"

Ding Xueling looked at her coldly: "I didn't hear it."

I thought to myself, why are you pretending? Although Young Master Yunliu was adopted by the Lu family, he is still a young master after all. He is really taking advantage of others.

Ding Xiaodie was too lazy to talk to her. She just said, "Take good care of my mother," and hurried to find Lu Chenhe.

…

Ding Xiaodie was not originally in Lu Chenhe's plan. He planned to set off with Yun Liu and two bodyguards.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaodie came up to me before I left.

The two of them didn't know what to say for a moment. Ding Xiaodie saw that he had his sword and the dry food was ready, and suddenly realized that he didn't want her to go.

Lu Chenhe saw the surprise in her eyes, so he took the initiative to say: "Xiaodie, this trip is too dangerous. You stay and help Xingluo, and wait for us to come back."

"No, I must go with you."

Although she looked thin, she believed that she could be of use based on her experience as a criminal police in her previous life, especially the space she carried, which could at least save their lives in terms of food.

So she had to go.

"Xiaodie, be obedient." Lu Chenhe helped her remove a fallen leaf from her head, his eyes doting: "Trust me, we will definitely come back safely."

Seeing his elder brother's action, Yun Liu, who was standing in the distance, turned his face to the side to look elsewhere, and even rolled his eyes, indicating that he didn't see anything.

Ding Xiaodie reached out and grabbed Lu Chenhe's sleeve: "I have to go."

"Be obedient." Lu Chenhe's eyes showed a firm look, but suddenly softened, tears welling up in his eyes. "I just hope you're alive and well, understand? If anything happens to you following him, then I... I won't be able to explain myself."

...What kind of words are these? They really break people's defenses. Ding Xiaodie was stunned...

At this moment, she let her emotions flow out completely. What with the restrictions of the times and the idea of ​​men and women not being able to touch each other, fuck it!

She rushed forward and threw herself into Lu Chenhe's arms, tears streaming down her face. "That's why I want to go with you. If we're going to die, let's die together!"

Lu Chenhe's handsome face was moved: "..."

Yun Liu: “…”

o(╥﹏╥)o I really wish I were deaf or blind!
