Chapter 13, Third Update
When Luo Yin heard what her second brother said, her eyes lit up as she looked at that Abaga.
But she didn't rush forward, since the adults were talking.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ren grinned slyly.
Then he pulled her aside, saying, "Little sister, let's go for a walk over there, this place is so boring."
Luo Yin was worried about her father, "Second brother, do you want to get beaten by father again?"
Mu Ren subconsciously touched his buttocks. "I wouldn't dare. I'll just watch from the side. It'll be fine!" he said, but his eyes were glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Luo Yin saw through his outward bravado but inner weakness, and smiled slyly.
"hey-hey!"
"Let's hurry up and get out of here."
The two of them found it difficult to move around, so they searched and found the stall with the most people nearby.
Looking up, I could see that my view was almost entirely blocked by tall, strong men; I could only glimpse something through the gaps between their legs.
"Second brother, look at all those things on the ground!"
Luo Yin pointed curiously to the ground, where exquisite patterns were faintly visible through the cracks.
Mu Ren is tall, so naturally he can't see anything from his line of sight.
Seeing his confused expression, Luo Yin tugged at him, signaling him to look down.
Sure enough, he saw it, but he said in a flat tone, "Oh, that's all? It's nothing."
He felt that these were no different from the wooden bowls, basins, and plates he used at home.
The two little ones had unknowingly been swept up in the crowd, but because they were small and unfamiliar faces, no one paid them any attention. However, because they were surrounded by people, their conversation was heard by others.
Upon hearing such ignorant words, someone burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, whose silly boy is this?"
Then came even louder laughter than before.
"Such a big mouth, yet it's about the same as what you use at home. Let me see just how good your stuff really is!" she said, wanting to see how well-dressed he was.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him began to swarm.
Many people cast curious and scrutinizing glances at them, especially at the tall Mu Ren.
Seeing his blank expression and noticing his unusually youthful appearance, many people lost interest.
The person who had spoken mockingly earlier also arrived, and upon seeing Mu Ren's expression...
He wanted to say something sarcastic, but after a dozen seconds of silence, he finally said, "Just as I expected!"
Luo Yin felt something was off and looked at her second brother.
Both of them were taken aback, not understanding why they had received so much attention after saying just a few words.
Mu Ren sensed the most dislike, or rather, disgust and mockery.
Mu Ren had never felt this way before.
He saw the people around him pushing forward, and people bumping into them every now and then.
"Hey, kids, don't push your way in! Move to the back!"
The person simply ignored him!
The brother and sister couldn't stand steadily like adults; they were even pushed back several steps by those in front and behind.
Once the two regained their footing, the familiar faces were no longer in sight.
Enraged, Mu Ren desperately wanted to rush in.
He clenched his fist, trying to push through the crowd and find out what was going on.
Luo Yin, who was standing next to her, also felt embarrassed. Having already started school, she knew quite a bit.
Just now, she and her second brother were looked down upon by these adults.
She was just as furious!
Judging from his second brother's posture, he was about to make a move in a moment of anger, so I quickly pulled him back.
By this time, Bart had already come looking for them. Hearing his father's call, the two quickly turned back.
Bart's expression turned serious upon seeing the two of them.
The brother and sister quickly went up to him, afraid that he would lose his temper.
But Burigude, who was standing next to them, looked back in the direction of their gaze.
When he saw the large group of people behind him, a deep meaning flashed in his usually calm eyes.
"Where did you go? Don't wander off!"
The two nodded hurriedly and followed him.
Bart didn't know what to say, and as he turned around, he suddenly saw those people.
I couldn't help but ask my friend, "What's going on over there? Why are there so many people?" But judging from the situation, I wasn't planning on going over.
After thinking for a moment, Bu Rigude spoke, but his gaze fell on the two children out of the corner of his eye.
"I'm not sure either, but it should be something like fur."
As soon as he finished speaking, a number of people squeezed out from the crowd.
Sure enough, they were holding rolled-up furs or something similar in their hands.
Bart didn't take it to heart, and the group went back to their place.
Luo Yin then realized why her father hadn't been in a hurry before.
It turns out this Abaga is a collector of goods from the grasslands. Didn't you see my father give him everything without even negotiating the price? Judging from their familiarity, they must have done this many times before.
When Bu Rigude saw so many goods, he smiled so broadly that his eyes almost disappeared.
"Haha, Bart really is my good brother!"
He opened his arms and hugged him, saying, "I'll bring you the money after I've sold everything."
Bart patted him on the shoulder, as if to say he had agreed.
At lunchtime, he specially invited the Bart family to eat. They found a stall and ordered four servings of mutton soup to eat with pastries.
The two children ate without even looking up, completely satisfied.
Bart ate absentmindedly. He'd been acting strangely ever since he left.
However, only Bu Rigude could have noticed this situation.
After eating and resting for a short while, Bart took the children and said goodbye.
Mu Ren and Luo Yin wanted to play a little longer and had even found a place to go boating, but their father stopped them with his words.
Having no other choice, he could only ride his pony home.
There was no way we could not run; I don't know what my father was thinking, he insisted on having a toilet race with them.
They even said that if you come in last place, you won't get any food.
After saying that, he tightened the reins and rushed off!
Mu Ren and Luo Yin couldn't just stand by and watch, so they adjusted their movements and rushed forward.
Hold the reins tight, straighten your back, look into the distance, and charge!
"Da da da da da!"
The sound of rapid and fierce galloping hooves came from the road.
Then came clouds of dust and sand.
After the three rushed into the vast grassland, several heads popped up next to the market entrance behind them.
The short, thin man's expression changed instantly when he saw the bearded man on horseback.
Quickly take a detour along the side path, avoid the crowd, and head towards the wooden house deep inside.
"Oh no, have we been discovered?"
He was deeply shaken and quickly reported the matter.
Upon hearing the news, Uncle Wu, who was inside the wooden house, immediately changed his expression.
A murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed, "Did you see clearly?"
"Are you sure it's just him, and that no one else is lying in ambush nearby?"
The skinny man thought for a moment, "I saw it clearly. I recognize the man's face, and I know the horse too. But he must have come alone. When he left, I saw two teenagers following him. I didn't see anyone else."
As he said this, he discreetly observed the expressions on everyone's faces.
Inside the wooden house were indeed the people who were with Uncle Wu.
Upon hearing his words, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems they didn't come with us; it was just a coincidence."
"Indeed, we were so careful, we shouldn't have been discovered."
They've had quite a few dealings with people from the grasslands lately, and some of their faces are already familiar to them.
At first glance, they thought they had already planned how to escape when the militia leader appeared outside, but upon closer listening, things seemed to be different.
Old Wu, who was in the center, took a deep drag on his cigarette.
Listening to the discussions around me, I fell into thought.
Once everyone realized he hadn't yet offered his opinion, they all instinctively looked at him, and the atmosphere gradually quieted down.
"Uncle Wu, what do you think?" Is this business still worth doing?
When Wu Hao heard someone ask a question, he looked out through the light shining through the crack and could faintly hear the noise outside.
It was the noisy sound of the herders exchanging goods that they had seen when they came before.
Yes, the sound is still there!
It was probably a false alarm!
With that thought in mind, he quickly made a decision.
"Go back and keep an eye on things. Come back immediately if anything seems amiss."
"Yes, Uncle Wu!"
After the man left, Wu Hao called over a few more people and whispered some instructions to them.
He then led his men to guard the small house, and several dark-colored bags were placed on the ground in the very center of the house.
Judging from its appearance, there are quite a few things inside.
Old Wu kept glancing at it, thinking he had to sell it as soon as possible.
Once we've moved everything over there, we won't be making any more moves this year!
His eyelids were twitching a lot; he had a feeling something was going to happen.
Thinking of this, he instructed the young men to move quietly, but to keep their eyes open so that the people in front wouldn't notice anything amiss.
People were probably scared by what that kid said.
They kept watch early in the evening, not even daring to light a fire, and ate cold bread with cold water.
Bart was naturally unaware of these matters, and the group sped home.
As expected, the last place went to Luo Yin.
Luo Yin knew she was young and her chances of winning were extremely slim.
Bart immediately canceled the punishment, saying that she had already done a great job.
Luo Yin smiled broadly after being praised by her father, and accepted his compliment, saying that she would definitely become even better.
Meanwhile, the family had already prepared a meal.
During the meal, Urina mentioned the good news about her eldest son.
My older brother hasn't come back since he graduated from junior high school at the end of June.
They said they would keep working until they found a job in town.
With a junior high school diploma and a good physique, finding a stable job isn't actually that difficult.
The situation in Xilingol League is different from other places. Due to the province's vast territory, sparse population, and abundant resources, the demand for workers is gradually increasing every year.
There is an even greater need for workers with a certain level of education.
Hada is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a tall and robust build.
Although he doesn't have the broad shoulders and thick waist of Bart, he inherited his physique and has a very solid muscular body, which looks like he can do a lot of things.
In addition, he had delicate features and good grades, which made him a favorite of his homeroom teacher.
I didn't expect that right after graduation, I would be recommended by my teacher to do an internship at a primary school in town.
They said that if things go well, a decision can be made before the end of the year.
After speaking happily, Urina looked at her family with great joy.
"Once the eldest son settles down, and then finds a wife, their family will be stable!"
Ani was also very happy that his grandson could earn his own living through his own abilities. He was pleased that future generations wouldn't have to waste their lives on the grasslands.
Bart, upon hearing the news, immediately drank a few drinks with Ani.
He even praised the kid several times, saying he did a good job.
Mu Ren was stunned!
After all, among the three children in the family, only the youngest sister was ever praised by her father.
Now that his older brother is being praised by their father, he honestly wants to ask his brother how he learned, and whether he will also receive praise from their father after he graduates.
As he was thinking, a large hand slapped him hard on the head.
"Muren, remember to learn from your older brother, get good grades in a couple of years, and find a good job!"
His family members immediately turned to look at him, making his face flush.
"I...I understand!"
"Stop stuttering! Speak properly!" Bart yelled at the top of his lungs.
"I see!"
"Yes, that's more like it. Set a good example for Hua Hua."
Everyone slept soundly that night, filled with joy because of their eldest brother's good news.
Even long afterward, when Luo Yin recalled that day, her eyes would involuntarily redden!
That father, waving to me, riding a horse with such a majestic air!
The father who promised to take her to the city to see her older brother next time he came back!
That father who was serious all day, but whose laughter was hearty and cheerful towards her!
He disappeared after that day...
In mid-November, unusual weather began to appear on the grasslands.
The continuous drop in temperature over the past few days has prompted herders on the grasslands to bundle up their blankets early and huddle in the warmth of their yurts.
The livestock inside the wooden enclosure huddled together for warmth.
The sky turned gloomy, and a cold wind blew from time to time, making people shiver.
An unknown cold front crossed the mountains and ridges, passing through the Jinlianchuan Grassland. It met with the gathered moisture and began to hail.
Then came localized light rain, followed by a heavy snowfall!
Today's patrol team is Bart's team.
There were four of them, including him, who needed to patrol the route from the camp to the Jinlianchuan Grassland.
Despite their considerable preparations for the heavy snowfall.
But when they were actually riding horses on the grassland, the riders were so cold that they could barely hold onto the reins.
The horse beneath them was also shivering from the cold, but it was in a better condition than they were.
Bart affectionately stroked the horse, feeling both sorry for it and saddened that it had to endure such weather.
But orders are like mountains, and they have no choice but to obey!
"Be careful, keep a close watch on the road. Once you've checked and everything's in order, you can head back."
He encouraged his three teammates.
Chagan exhaled a puff of white breath and smiled in agreement. "It's alright. It's cold here, so those people should have hidden themselves away by now."
"Hahaha, then we can rest easy here!" Bai Yin, who was on the far side, laughed heartily.
Bart laughed and said, "Alright, let's not worry about what others do, let's just do our own thing."
"Baiyin, you go down to the second team later, we'll take care of blocking the wind."
“That’s right. You don’t have to work during the Spring Festival this year, so you can go back to see the kids earlier. I remember your little one is not even two years old yet, and he probably doesn’t even recognize his mother anymore.”
Baiyin, like everyone else, was wrapped in a thick coat, with only a thick braid on her shoulder. It was clear she was a very capable and spirited woman.
"Thank you, Vice Captain, but I'm not cold. You don't need to go easy on me. But I have to go home for the New Year, otherwise my kid might not recognize me."
"Hahahaha, my husband doesn't recognize people either."
The group chatted and laughed, then changed into two couples, walking side by side, heading towards the desolate and white expanse in the distance.
Inside the warm yurt, Luo Yin listened to Ani singing a distant and mysterious tune.
I hummed along with him and found it extremely fun.
Urina leaned against the side, mending clothes.
The second brother was brewing hot milk tea on the stove, adding some to their bowls every now and then.
Apart from the eldest brother in town and the busy father, everyone else in the family is hibernating in this cold winter.
Speaking of hibernation, there's another stretch of Gobi Desert near the Jinlianchuan Grassland.
Yang Ming, the top leader under Lao Wu, led five or six men, carrying things on their backs, and walked forward with difficulty.
This group of people, braving the frost, were determined to head out of the grassland.
Yang Ming and his group were wearing a lot of clothes, and the things they were carrying were also quite heavy.
If they hadn't been offered such a high price this time, they certainly wouldn't have worked so hard.
Braving the wind and snow, stepping on the soft, barren, and freezing Gobi Desert, every gust of cold wind seemed to peel a layer off their faces.
One of his subordinates had already caught a cold, and after looking around, he couldn't help but feel wronged and started to cry.
"Waaaaah, Brother Yang, can we still make it? I think I'm freezing to death!"
"It's so cold! We don't even have any tools, are we just going to walk out like this?"
Yang Ming was also in a difficult position, and seeing what he said, he was so angry that he slapped him.
"Smack!"
You bastard!
"Shut up, if you keep crying, your tears will freeze."
Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly wiped his eyes.
Sure enough, I touched some ice shards. "Wow, it really is."
"Alright, everyone, grit your teeth and get out of here, or we'll all be dead."
Although Yang Ming wasn't very bright, he still held some weight in everyone's hearts.
After hearing what he said, what else could everyone do but follow along?
The howling wind whipped up countless grains of sand!
Amid the steady clatter of hooves, Barth and his party found nothing amiss.
As they approached the western side of Jinlianchuan, Chagan discovered many messy footprints on the ground.
"Vice Captain, there's a situation here!"
When the group gathered together, they indeed found traces.
At this moment, the grassland is covered in a blanket of silver! Anything that passes by will leave its mark.
Upon seeing the incredibly clear footprints, Bart dismounted to examine them.
"Judging from the situation, there aren't many people, at least seven or eight. Judging from the depth of the footprints, they must be carrying heavy loads."
"It must be those people!" After all, who else would be running around like that at this time besides the patrol officers?
Chagan clapped his hands. "Why are you out again? This weather just won't calm down."
"Vice Captain, what do we do?"
Baiyin and the others all looked at Bart.
Bart clenched his fist, pondered for a moment, and said.
"One of you go back and report, the rest of you come with me." They planned to find out their location.
He had intended to send Bai Yin back to report the news, but Bai Yin interrupted him.
"Vice Captain, I brought a bow and arrow; my aim is better." Because of this, the young man had no choice but to run back to the base to call for help, feeling wronged.
Then, Bart, Chagan, and Baiyin, having gathered their gear, headed towards the footprints.
Walking is nowhere near as fast as a white horse, so none of them dared to actually run.
I saw a group of people not far away.
Bat was overjoyed, as were Chagan and Baiyin.
They finally found the person!
Over the past year, they have had a terrible headache because this group of people always come and go without a trace.
We know there's such a group of people, but we just can't catch them.
But this time it's different!
They counted the number of people: eight!
Each of them carried a piece of luggage on their shoulder, which looked quite heavy. They waited for ten minutes after they caught up with them and found that there was no one there.
They hid to the side and discussed leaving the person behind.
After a brief discussion, the group quickly made a decision.
Although they belonged to the Baima Company and were all grassland militia, they generally did not carry weapons when they went out.
You can bring homemade bows and arrows and whips; under special circumstances, you may also bring weapons.
This time, they planned to use bows and arrows to wound a few people from a distance, and then wait for the people from the base to capture them alive.
At Bart's command, the two men who were ready fired their arrows.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Several gusts of wind passed through and entered his body.
Then three cries of pain rang out, followed by three people falling to the ground.
"ah!"
"Ouch~"
Yang Ming, who was leading the way, was startled and turned around abruptly.
Three of his men were shot and fell to the ground, blood gushing from their shoulders, legs, and arms.
The rest of the group was instantly terrified and screamed.
"Huh? What happened?"
"It's the people behind us. What are they going to do?"
Someone spotted Bart and his group, and saw three people riding white horses behind them, drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
Yang Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and his hand reached for his waist.
Seeing this, the other two henchmen also reached into their pockets.
"It's those militiamen! We've been discovered! What should we do, Brother Yang?"
Amidst the wails of those on the ground, some had already cried out to Yang Ming for help.
Bart and his two companions slowly approached them, but they dared not relax their movements in the slightest.
As he approached and heard them talking, Bart called out to them.
"Put down your weapons and put your hands behind your head!"
Chagan repeated, "Hands behind your heads, everyone squat down!"
Baiyin's breathing was even, and she focused intently on the person in front of her without blinking.
Seeing their reaction, Yang Ming gritted his teeth and gestured for the two terrified men to do as he was told, while giving a wink to the two men beside him.
The three of them were among the first to hang out together, and they could understand each other with just a glance.
So he pushed the things off his shoulder and squatted down.
Of the eight people, three were lying on the ground, and the other five also put down their things and squatted down.
Chagan smiled at his teammates and took the lead.
Just as he was about to check what they had put in the sack, he suddenly saw one of the men looking at him.
It seemed... Chagan was taken aback, and then a dark hole was pointed at him.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three shots were fired at him in quick succession, and Chagan dodged instantly after noticing them.
But it was obviously too late. Two shots hit him squarely in the chest, and he immediately began to vomit blood from the pain.
One shot, and it missed!
Barth's eyes widened in fury, and his battle cries echoed through the air, carried by the arrows.
Bai Yin's arrow, faster than his, had already been fired, "whoosh!" hitting the person who fired the shot.
"Aaaaaaah~"
The man who had just been covering his head screamed in terror, watching helplessly as the arrow flew towards his head.
Seeing his brother pinned to the ground, Yang Ming rolled over to dodge.
Unable to dodge Bart's arrow, he was wounded and disheveled, hiding behind a sack.
At the same time, he shouted something to the brother next to him.
Chagan's blood was almost flowing down his clothes, turning the white horse beneath him completely red!
The sounds startled the horses of the three men, causing them to thrash about and pacing back and forth, clearly taken aback!
"Check it out."
"I'll fight you to the death." Bai Yin's eyes were red as she watched Chagan sway, unable to stay steady.
Bart called out to her, signaling Baiyin to be on guard, while he rushed to Chagan's side.
But Chagan clearly couldn't control the horse and in a moment of confusion, he fell off its back.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ming, who had been secretly observing, shouted and aimed at Bart.
"Bang!"
Another shot, and it hit.
"Whoosh!"
Baiyin's two arrows struck simultaneously, controlling both arms.
Baiyin retrieved the Arrow Rain again and aimed once more.
Chagan landed heavily with a thud, accompanied by a muffled groan from Bart, who had been struck in the back.
At this moment, pain accompanied by drops of blood fell onto the snow.
It's glaring and eye-catching!
"Hahaha, there's one more, there's one more."
Bai Yin was filled with hatred and anger because both the deputy captain and Chagan had been shot, but the person in question had not shown up.
So she called out and asked them how they were.
Bart dragged the man back a bit and whistled, making the two horses back.
He didn't want them to get caught in the crossfire!
"Chagan, hang in there, I'll get you treated right now." After checking his injuries, Bart quickly stopped the bleeding and then immediately called the horse over to tie him up; this injury couldn't be delayed.
Just as they were about to make a move, they heard Baiyin shout from behind.
"careful!"
Bart looked back and saw that the man who had fired the shot earlier was now holding the gun in his hand again and had quietly gotten up.
The three of them were stunned.
Yang Ming and the others, who were looking forward to the sound ringing out again, had expressions of both pain and smugness on their faces.
"Ha ha ha ha."
However, no "bang bang" sound was heard.
A loud explosion rang out.
"Aaaaaah~" This was followed by the terrified neighing of horses and the cries of pain from several people.
"My arm! My arm is broken!"
It turned out that someone else quietly picked up the dropped pistol, but unexpectedly, the bullet exploded.
He, the two people lying on the ground, and Baiyin and Ma who rushed over and pushed him away were all severely injured.
However, the force of the explosion still injured people at the scene.
Neither of the two groups was able to move.
Baiyin and Ma were both covered in blood from the explosion, with several shards embedded in their bodies.
The horse cried out in pain.
Yang Ming's men fared even worse; some had already fainted from the pain.
Bart sensed that Chagan's breath was weak and that he was about to die.
But at this moment, he no longer had the strength to help him onto the horse.
He had barely moved a few times when he started spitting out blood.
Slightly regaining his senses, Chagan tugged at him and gently shook his head.
"Vice Captain, no need!"
"I, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he began vomiting blood continuously.
Bart, such a valiant man, now had bloodshot eyes as he looked at Bai Yin, who was lying motionless on the ground. When he looked back at him, tears welled up in his eyes.
"I'll take you to see a doctor. You have to hold on."
Chagan pulled his hand even tighter, "Vice Captain, I...I might not be able to wait any longer. The Eternal Heaven has come to take me away."
He had barely finished speaking when it started snowing again.
A white mist fell to the ground, landing on everyone's heads.
"Hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph~" Luo Yin hummed a song as she threw snowballs at her second brother.
The two chased each other, having a great time. They ignored their mother calling them from inside the house.
They are determined to settle the score today.
Bart didn't believe it, nor was he willing to abandon his brother.
He gritted his teeth, determined to help him onto the horse with his last breath, but Chagan pointed at Baiyin.
"Go check on her, I'm alright."
Somehow he regained consciousness and spoke to him.
Seeing this, Bart paused for a moment, then ran to Baiyin to check on her condition.
At that moment, an earthquake sound came from the ground.
As he approached, Bart's eyes instantly reddened.
"Your teammates are here! They're here! You're saved!"
Bart looked on with delight into the distance and, sure enough, saw the familiar white horse team galloping toward them.
Bart was both surprised and delighted, then everything went black and he fainted.
When Chao Lu arrived with his team, he saw the mess on the ground.
The patches of red on the snow were the blood of their brothers.
"Quickly, save them!"
At his roar, everyone immediately got to work.
After checking them one by one, everyone found that all three of them were seriously injured. Someone took out tools and began to perform emergency bandaging to stop the bleeding.
During the inspection, they found that he was wrapped up the most, but they could no longer feel his breath.
"Captain, Chagan, Chagan is dying."
"What?"
On that day, the Jinlianchuan Grassland almost turned into the Red Lotus Grassland, and Chaolu sent people to urgently send them to the town.
Upon seeing the extent of the injuries, the town hospital provided initial treatment and immediately transferred the patient to the county hospital.
The operating room lights at the county hospital stayed on all night.
The next day, when the doctor came out, he shook his head apologetically at Chao Lu.
"I'm sorry, that woman has lost too much blood and has died!"
Chao Lu swayed and almost fell, but luckily someone behind him caught him.
The teammates next to him all had bloodshot eyes from staying up late. "What about the vice-captain? How is he?"
"Yes, yes, what happened to the other guy?"
The doctor's expression was grave. "His condition isn't good either. We need to wait until he's fully awake before we can examine him further; even if he does wake up, he'll probably be bedridden for the rest of his life."
"What?"
"how so?"
"Waaaaah, how could this happen?"
Chao Lu and all his teammates present were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Doesn't that mean that even if the vice-captain wakes up, he'll be paralyzed?
Those present were all terrified. Apart from the messenger who went back to report, a small team had suffered two deaths and one serious injury.
Chao Lu wiped his face and dried his tears.
He instructed those around him to notify the family members before considering what to do next.
Baiyin and Chagan's bodies are still in the hospital. Thinking of this, Chaolu couldn't help but clench his fists.
If he weren't worried about what would happen later, he would have loved to beat those people to death with a few punches.
But after they entered the hospital, those people were taken away by the county government.
He can't manage anything right now.
But it was because of those people that he suffered such casualties among his men; how could he not resent them?
The operating room door opened again, and the nurses wheeled Bart out.
Chao Lu rushed forward and felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw him lying there with his eyes closed.
"I will definitely get justice and an explanation for you."
Bart's condition is exactly as the doctor predicted. If he wakes up, there's still a chance; if he doesn't, it's probably the end for him.
A week had passed between the completion of the surgery and his awakening.
The family also learned of this devastating news.
In particular, recalling that day, the comrade who contacted the team members' families and told each family member about the matter.
He almost cried as he walked up to the family.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of each family member who heard the news, tears streamed down her face.
He also lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.
How did it get like this?!
"Waaaaah, my child!"
"Oh, Eternal Heaven, how could you just take him away like this?"
"Bart, how did you get so badly injured?"
Urina's eyes were already red from crying, and Ani collapsed from the stress.
The eldest brother rushed to the hospital to be with their father, while the second brother and Luo Yin stayed at home to take care of Ani, and even secretly hid away to shed tears.
"Second brother, will Father be alright?"
"Waaaaah~"
Luo Yin held him and cried, and Mu Ren's eyes reddened.
With a nasal tone, she said, "It'll be alright, it'll be alright, right?"
He knew more than his younger sister; his father could no longer ride horses and hunt.
Being able to lie in bed is so uncomfortable.
One day at the end of November, Loin served Ani a bowl of cooked meat porridge.
Then they heard noises outside the yurt, as if someone was coming.
Mu Ren exclaimed in surprise, "Father, how are you?"
He walked closer and saw that his father was being carried in. Was the figure wrapped in thick blankets really his father?
Mu Ren was somewhat taken aback and stood there, not daring to step forward.
Luo Yin helped Ani rush out and saw her older brother and the others from afar.
"Father, Father!"
There was no response, no laughter!
Chao Lu looked at Bart, who had his eyes closed and was motionless, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
His men successfully carried him into the room.
Seeing a crowd gathered around him, he waved for them to leave first.
Urina came out in a daze, looked at the helpless children, covered her mouth and burst into tears again.
Ani clutched her chest, trying to go inside.
Urina stopped him, "Father, you should rest first, let Bart catch his breath too."
Ani stared at her, mouth agape, in astonishment.
After discovering that her daughter-in-law seemed to have lost all her vitality, and aged several years in an instant, she realized that her life force had been drained away.
He remained silent and let out a deep sigh.
"Well, it's good that you're alive!"
He said something quietly, then turned and slowly moved away.
Luo Yin looked at her mother, then at Ani, her eyes brimming with tears.
Hada came forward and first told his mother to rest aside, then instructed Muren to entertain the guests.
Once everyone was sitting together in silence, he noticed that his younger sister was still outside, squatting there with her head down.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about your father?"
Luo Yin pulled her older brother, "I want to go see Dad!"
A flicker of pain crossed Hada's clear eyes as she choked back tears and comforted her. "Okay, but we have to wait for Father to rest. Father is seriously injured and he doesn't have the energy to speak right now."
"I'll wait, I'll wait right here."
"Brother, I'll wait too," Mu Ren said, joining the conversation.
"good!"
The three siblings huddled together, looking expectantly toward their father.
Chao Lu stood there for a long time, but he didn't make any move.
He suppressed his rising emotions. "Bart, the living are not at fault. You are a good person."
A little over a week is enough time for them to understand the situation and clarify what happened.
If it weren't for those two weapons, their operation would have been perfect.
But there are no "what ifs" in life. Such a change can only be blamed on the cruelty of those people.
The local government has detained those people, and the consequences of the accident on the grassland have greatly amplified the seriousness of the matter.
Baiyin and Chagan were awarded the highest honor as "Heroes." They received full compensation for their families, and their children and family members can receive compensation annually based on this.
As for the Bart family, they did manage to secure appropriate compensation.
Knowing about the two people's situation, Chao Lu even secured two job openings for them.
But seeing Bart lying motionless beside him, he couldn't bring himself to voice any of his plans.
"In a few days, Baiyin and Chagan's family will be holding a sky burial. Are you going?"
After he said that, he kept staring at him.
Sure enough, I saw his eyelids tremble and his lips shake.
Seeing this, Chao Lu continued, "You'll definitely have to see them off on their final journey, won't you?"
Bart gave a low "hmm".
"I know you're upset, and everyone is upset about this, but you have to pull yourself together."
After a long while, a hoarse male voice came through.
"It's my fault, I'm the one who ruined them."
Tears welled up in Bart's tightly closed eyes.
He's the one who killed them!
Chao Lu rushed up and grabbed his hand. "It's not you, it's that group of people." He didn't even dare to tell him that the government had actually already found out quite a bit about the situation.
It was only because of orders that they were not arrested immediately, and instead they ran into them, leading to the current situation.
He could only advise, "We've looked for them so many times this past year. As long as they still have greed, we'll keep running into them. It's not your fault; it's their fault."
As he continued, Chao Lu's voice suddenly became louder.
Bart was consumed by grief, feeling that he had caused their downfall.
It has become like this, which is a sin!
"I will go to see them off on their final journey."
I will climb over there.
As he thought this, his taut muscles caused the wound to burst open, and fresh blood gushed out again.
"Bart, don't be impulsive."
Chao Lu suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood and quickly threw off the covers.
Sure enough, blood was seen seeping from the bandage on her waist.
He quickly re-bandaged him.
Seeing himself, who used to be so full of vigor, reduced to this state, he was filled with pain and regret, and he slapped himself.
"The main reason for this is me. I'm your captain. You're all like this because I gave the order," Chao Lu said dejectedly, running his hands through his hair.
From that day on, the Bart family changed completely.
Father was seriously injured and became depressed, refusing to eat or drink; no one in the family could persuade him, not even Annie could help.
Ani's health has been poor ever since she fell ill.
My older brother had no choice but to go back first because of school matters.
His family would visit him, and there was always someone there to keep him company and chat with him.
Even though their father didn't say anything, they still stayed by his side silently.
Until this day, her father unusually called Urina in and said something to her.
They found out when they had breakfast.
Dad wants to see his teammates off!
Hada, Luoyin, and Muren were all taken aback, then looked at Ani.
Bat was picked up directly by Hada and placed on the prepared cart.
Urina drove the carriage, while Loin and Muren rode alongside them on horseback, in case they needed to.
They traveled from dawn until around nine o'clock in the morning, arriving at the first grassland.
This is a wonderful place with lush grasslands and abundant water.
Luo Yin looked at the snow-covered ground and said softly.
Several carts and horses were parked nearby, and Chao Lu and all the team members looked in this direction.
Bart was helped up and put in the car, which headed towards Baiyin's house.
In the very center is an old grassland man, holding a child in his arms and crying, while an old woman next to him is also holding a child of a few years old and wiping away tears.
Their cries were not loud, but they were heartbreaking to behold.
Friends and family wiped their eyes, while many others bowed their heads in prayer.
He looked at her calmly yet expectantly.
Looking at Baiyin, who was lying flat on the cart covered with a white cloth.
Next to her were her most beloved bow and arrows and riding whip!
The approach of the Bart family attracted everyone's attention.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Bart, especially Baiyin's family.
When I saw the two children crying uncontrollably.
Bart gripped his boss's arm tightly, clinging to his last shred of dignity.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
Bart said in a hoarse voice, sounding guilty.
