"Water..." Lu Changgong pursed his lips and murmured unconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, something warm touched his lips.
Then, the sweet liquid slid into his mouth, moistening his dry throat.
Lu Changgong drank instinctively.
At this time, I heard someone say in a low voice:
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Lu has woken up. I'll go tell Madam Lu."
Another person urged excitedly,
"Go quickly and make Madam Lu happy."
If Su Sijin knew that Lu Changgong had woken up, she would definitely be very happy.
You know, Lu Changgong has been in a coma for quite a long time.
At this time, Lu Changgong slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was a young man about twenty years old.
Lu Changgong stood up without hesitation. He anxiously grabbed the young man's arm and asked in disbelief, "Xu Kai? Are you okay?"
Xu Kai is the second son of Cheng Zhonglang Xu Yongsi.
Xu Yongsi was once Lu Zhan's loyal subordinate.
Lu Zhan promoted Xu Yongsi many times.
After Lu Zhan got into trouble, Xu Yongsi repeatedly argued with others without fear of rumors or the end of his career.
Not only did he argue with reason, he also asked people everywhere to defend Lu Zhan and clear his name.
Lu Changgong was grateful for Xu Yongsi's sincerity. He secretly took care of Xu Yongsi and secretly planned a future for his children.
He remembered that Xu Kai served as a captain in the army.
After he got into trouble, Xu Yongsi still lobbied and negotiated for him. This time he was exiled because of Lu Changgong.
He is not...
The people on the wooden boat were not...
Lu Changgong lifted the quilt. He had to go and take a look. Maybe the scene he saw before was just a dream.
It must be a dream. Isn't Xu Kai standing right in front of him?
"Young Master, you...you just woke up, don't act rashly." Xu Kai stamped his feet anxiously.
If he hadn't stopped Lu Changgong, how would he explain to Madam Lu if something happened to him?
The reason he can still stand here now is that he was saved by Madam Lu.
It can be said that his life was given by Madam Lu Shao. Without her, he would have frozen to death long ago.
Su Sijin hurried in and shouted, "Husband, no."
She understood Lu Changgong's feelings best.
Su Sijin's words successfully stopped Lu Changgong.
Seeing that he looked fine, Su Sijin nodded to Xu Kai and said, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your help. I'll be here. You can go have lunch!"
Xu Kai nodded. With Su Sijin here, he felt completely at ease.
As soon as Xu Kai left, Lu Changgong couldn't wait to ask, "Ajin, what's going on? Where's mother? Where are Changji, Changming, and Xiao Qiuling?"
Su Sijin led the people to sit down, "What happened that day was not a dream. As for mother and siblings, they are missing. You have been unconscious for five days, and we have been chasing you for three days."
"What? Missing?" Lu Changgong's face, which had just turned a little rosy, turned pale in an instant.
"Chasing? Chasing for what?" Lu Changgong stared at Su Sijin expectantly, hoping that the answer was what he expected, that his mother and siblings were just missing.
What Su Sijin meant by chasing was chasing her mother and younger siblings.
Su Sijin nodded seriously as he wished.
She told the story from what happened after they were trapped at the bottom of the river, to their discovery of the bodies of Jiang Guan and others frozen in ice and snow, to why Xu Kai was there.
Su Sijin described each one in detail.
It turned out that after Lu Changgong fell into a coma, just when Su Sijin was at a loss as to what to do with the bodies of Jiang Guan and others, she faintly heard a subtle sound.
The sound came from the wooden boat next to them. Su Sijin was excited and went to find out what was going on.
When the boat door was opened, she was caught off guard and attacked by Xu Kai with an axe.
When both sides saw each other clearly, Xu Kai hugged his mother Wu and burst into tears.
There was actually a charcoal fire in the cabin, as well as some dried meat, wild vegetables and other food. However, there was not much charcoal left, and it could only last for two more days at most.
It turned out that Jiang Guan left the last bit of charcoal and food to Xu Kai and the others.
Almost all the people in the cabin were young men and women under the age of twenty, more than a hundred in total.
Among those who were left behind, Jiang Guan picked the most outstanding boys and girls under the age of 20, as well as outstanding women, to take care of them and guide them.
Make sure, or hope for the best and leave some bloodline for each family.
It also talked about how Zheng Jie and others followed Huang Zichu and Xuan Yi away.
It tells how Lu Changming blamed himself for their disappearance and jumped into the water to save them, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Finally, it tells how Zheng Jie tried to commit suicide after being devastated.
An hour later, Su Sijin finally finished speaking.
Lu Changgong lowered his head and clenched his fists. His originally pale face now looked even paler and more terrifying.
Su Sijin touched his hand and comforted him stiffly, "Don't worry, you know what Huang Zichu and Xuan Yi are capable of. Besides, Yunyu is with mother, so mother and the others will be fine."
"Besides, we have been chasing them for three days. I feel we will find them soon."
The hundred of them were still crowded on a wooden boat. After she melted the ice on the roller skates on the boat, Xu Kai, as the helmsman, sailed away from that place full of love and sadness.
"I cremated Uncle Jiang and the others. Their ashes are in this urn. Once we get out and find a place to settle down, we'll bury them properly."
That place is the sea. When the ice melts, the wooden boat and the remains will all fall into the sea and eventually become the target of competition among fish.
In the end, he was torn to pieces and not a single body was left.
Jiang Guan and others were so righteous that they left them the hope of life twice in a row. Su Sijin couldn't bear to see these people who were willing to sacrifice their own lives and be so righteous that their bodies would be destroyed and no one would worship them.
So she took it upon herself to cremate them.
In Dai Viet, cremating a body can result in jail time.
The ancients believed that the body and hair were given by parents and should not be damaged or destroyed. Su Sijin's action was tantamount to challenging their inherent rules.
"You won't blame me for acting on my own!"
Even if you feel resentment, you should endure it. Rather than being torn into pieces by sea creatures, cremation is the best option.
Lu Changgong pressed the back of Su Sijin's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Ajin, there is no better choice. Even I would do the same."
Lu Changgong stared blankly at the jar, "Jiang Bo is righteous, I..."
Su Sijin pointed her finger at Lu Changgong's lips to stop him from complaining about himself.
"Uncle Jiang, as well as the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who sacrificed themselves for the greater good, will live forever in our hearts."
"They deserve respect and care. We must not let Uncle Jiang down. We must live well for them."
"Protect the descendants they have protected with their lives, and raise them to be upright and capable children, so that they can shine in their respective fields. If so, Jiang Bo and the others will surely smile in their graves."
Su Sijin, Lu Changgong and Huang Zichu made the same promise.
