The situation in the compound changes every day. Old Ning and Old Fu have straightforward tempers and treat them as cannon fodder without any eyesight. Lu Bairen is out of reach. Even if they return to the emperor to seek revenge, the Ning and Fu families will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Teams three and four will be protecting the leader, so you can go to the farm with peace of mind." Lu Shiyi understood Lu Bairen's temper and was very enthusiastic towards comrades with whom he had a close relationship.
"Ayi, you must pay attention to the safety of the leader. He sent Guan Lao to the countryside for research, using his own life as bait." Lu Bairen knew his old friend too well. He would put everyone's safety first and leave the danger to himself.
Lu Shiyi nodded: "Grandpa, I will tell the people below and then follow."
While the Lu family's grandparents were discussing the next arrangements, Old Ning and Old Fu went to sit in the secret pavilion in the small garden. The two old men discussed how to send the guards away.
"There must be spies from the other side in logistics, and our reasons must be sufficient." Mr. Fu reminded Mr. Ning that the opponent has been keeping an eye on them.
"We are just the old couple at home, so we don't need so many guards." Elder Ning told Elder Fu his reasoning, "Those people from the other side are not relatives, they will definitely need guards."
Mr. Fu clapped his hands and said, "You old man, your brain works quite quickly. Let's go home immediately to deal with these people. After dinner, have someone prepare the belongings for departure."
"Before you leave, call the children. Both our homes' phones are monitored, so they won't be able to get the records." Elder Ning reminded Elder Fu, "It's not certain when we get to the farm. The phone numbers at Ayi and Su Jin's homes are for Su Jin to communicate with the higher-ups."
Mr. Fu nodded, put his hands behind his back and went home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw two new guards sitting in the corridor chatting, and not far away Jin Dashan was packing this month's supply of food.
"You two come here." Old Fu said to the two guards in the corridor.
The two looked at Mr. Fu in surprise. In the Fu family, Mr. Fu rarely hired new guards.
"Commander!" The two guards glanced at Jin Dashan and the others, "There's something we need to do."
"We are the only two old people at home. With so many staff members around, Dashan and Youlin will be fine. I will send you back to the guard squad," Mr. Fu told them directly. They wanted to plead with him, hoping that he would keep them. "You will have very little to do at the Fu family's. After you return to the guard squad, the squad leader will assign you to another family."
The two guards were the same. At the Fu family, Mr. Fu would never let them take care of the family closely. Compared with the guards in the same batch, they were not as good as the guards guarding the yard.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!" Mr. Fu sent the two back, giving them a chance to make a new choice.
"I'll sit here, you guys go pack your luggage first." Mr. Fu is not an old man who would withhold other people's things. The children in his family would give gifts to the staff, just hoping that they could take good care of the two elders.
The two of them hurried back to the room to pack their clothes, and Jin Dashan walked to Mr. Fu's side.
"Grandpa, have you sent the people back? Those people outside don't dare to say anything about you anymore?" Jin Dashan was worried that the old man would be upset by the gossip outside.
"Don't worry, pack your things tonight. We're going to live on a farm in the Northeast for a year." Mr. Fu prepared to take the two of them with him. "You and Youlin, take some heavy clothes with you. If you don't have enough, you can buy more locally."
"Then the two..." Jin Dashan instantly understood what Mr. Fu meant, "Would you like to go with Mr. Lu first?"
"Yes!" Mr. Fu nodded. "We can't let outsiders know for now. We'll leave in the early morning of four days, probably by car."
The two men looked at the luggage packed by the two guards and immediately interrupted the conversation.
Mr. Fu led the two of them out. When they reached the east gate, they saw Mr. Ning coming out of the guard squad with his hands behind his back.
"Old Fu, you are here too?" Old Ning greeted him cheerfully.
"All the children at home have been transferred out of the capital. I just wanted to send the guards here. I can't just stand around with all these people." Old Fu said with a wry smile.
While the two were talking, many people passed by and heard what Mr. Fu and Mr. Ning said, and they all comforted them with a few words.
Mr. Fu looked at the other party's gloating expression and took a deep breath.
"He's no longer in good health, so I'll send him back first. He might go to the sanatorium in Xishan." Old Fu remembered that the Xishan Sanatorium was controlled by the chief. "Old Ning, your child is also serving in another place. Can he come with me to the sanatorium?"
Ning Lao nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, then let's go together. Staying in the courtyard is not an option. Someone has to keep an eye on him all the time."
Some people who came from the senior activity center passed by and persuaded Mr. Ning and Mr. Fu to live in the courtyard so that the old guys could help each other.
"Goodbye, our two families will go to a nursing home. The family doctor there will be free to take care of you more." Old Ning echoed, "We can also eat nearby, and there will be two guards to take care of you."
They felt a little disheartened when they saw many of their old comrades breathing a sigh of relief. In the end, they had taken two different paths.
"Forget it, there's no point trying to persuade you." Seeing the two men were determined to leave, the old men stopped trying to persuade them. "Go to Xishan Sanatorium. If anything happens, call us."
"Okay!" Elder Ning and Elder Fu exchanged glances and immediately agreed. "Let's all go back and eat first. We'll be going to recuperate in the next few days!"
After saying goodbye to them, Mr. Ning and Mr. Fu went home and the other went to the guard squad.
The four old men couldn't help but feel a little sorry when they saw the two of them walking in different directions.
