Chapter 45 Hold me here
Live fearlessly and don’t fear death!
All the women straightened their chests and stared fearlessly at the people from Lujia Village.
Have backbone and integrity.
They are definitely not comparable to a group of timid village women.
At this moment, they were shocked.
It was as if I suddenly felt inferior.
It burst out from the bones, from the soul, from the flesh and blood.
The powerful sound continued.
"You said we are different. Yes, we are different!"
"Some people are upright in the world, preferring death to a life of mediocrity! Others are content to be termites, hiding in the cracks of dead wood!"
"You think you've found a peaceful place, but you don't know that you'll end up trapped and dying here."
For a long, long time, there was no sound.
The villagers of Lujia Village looked at Sang Ning with ignorant eyes.
Look, their grandparents were all glorious officials, but now, after only two generations, their descendants have degenerated into fools who know nothing.
What's more, there are really quite a few fools among them.
They spent a lot of time and effort to reclaim land and cultivate it, but the rocky land could never be turned into soil that could nourish crops.
They compete with wild beasts for territory and are in a state of danger and tension at all times.
So much so that they start to look old early.
There is no other goal in life except to continue the family line.
They are really trapping themselves.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! What do you know! As long as the emperor outside is named Yan, there will be no place for us!"
Lu Zhiming shouted a little too loudly, and his voice was shaking.
He shouted at Sang Ning, Feng Dali, and the younger villagers.
Because the younger generation has already shown signs of wanting to venture out and explore the world.
"You just want to leave the village, saying these things to deceive people and trick us into going out to die. I'm telling you, no way!"
"You have integrity, all right! No one is allowed to give them food! Let's see how tough the bones of the descendants of military families are!"
Amidst the roar of Deer Ming, half of the villagers followed suit and started cursing.
The other half remained silent.
The old lady, who had been listening behind her for an unknown amount of time, came forward.
After all, they are elders.
In everyone's mind, this is the heavyweight.
Everyone looked at her.
However, the first sentence the old lady said was to Sang Ning.
"Good boy, you are the pride of the Huo family." There were tears and gratitude in her eyes.
Sang Ning smiled slightly and supported her.
I feel ashamed.
The outstanding sons of the Huo family are their pride.
She was just maintaining this pride for the dead.
She is not as righteous as she said, and she will not die in such a heroic manner.
She has space.
"Old woman, what do you mean!?"
The old lady waved her hand, signaling Lu Zhiming to calm down.
"I heard everything. The kids were really a bit too tough. Listen to me."
"You are the village chief of Lujia Village. I wonder what your relationship is with Lu Boyuan?"
Lu Zhiming was a little surprised.
"He's my dad."
"So, it's Uncle Lu's son. Is he okay?"
"What do you mean? You know my dad?"
Haven’t you heard Dad talk about it?
The old lady smiled and said, "Of course I don't know him, but I have heard my father talk about him."
When Lu Zhiming thought about it, he knew that he had made a stupid mistake.
The old lady looked younger than him, and when he was born, his father had already been in this valley for several years. How could she know him!
"Your father, Lu Boyuan, and my father, Yang Lin, were classmates and friends. They passed the imperial examinations in the same year and entered the officialdom. Later, your father was involved in the Prime Minister's corruption case. My father ran around everywhere, but was whipped by the emperor.
Before being exiled, my father sent some silver and clothes, and then suddenly heard that you were encountered by bandits...
My father, now approaching his seventies, would often weep when he mentioned his childhood friend, blaming himself for not noticing earlier and dissuading your father from staying away from the Prime Minister..."
The old lady wiped her tears.
Lu Zhiming was stunned.
Is this related to a family?
"My father fell ill during his exile and has been dead for many years."
Besides, his father injured his throat and couldn't talk much, so he didn't talk about what happened in the past.
Lu Zhiming's expression became complicated.
Sang Ning's eyes turned and he said, "So the previous generation had this kind of relationship. We can now be considered family. I was too excited just now. I hope Uncle Lu will forgive me, young man."
The old lady didn't speak out earlier, causing her to yell for a long time.
Sore throat!
Deer Ming: "..."
"Village chief, even if there is some relationship, you should still get married. Everyone in our village is a relative by marriage." A villager said indifferently.
"Besides, those are all matters of the older generation. They are all gone, and we, the younger generation, have to carry on. We can't let the family line be cut off."
“Yes, yes…”
A group of people echoed.
Lu Zhiming also understood that the village was the most important thing now, so why should he care about those insignificant relationships!
But it's not as aggressive as before.
"Old lady, you guys just stay here. What good will a group of women get if they go to the place of exile? I'll carefully select someone and promise to treat you well, or you can choose one yourself."
This is quite benevolent!
"No, Village Chief Lu, you don't know that the emperor has left some leeway for our family. If we don't go to the place of exile, it might be detrimental to other relatives."
"Just make up a lie and say he was killed by gangsters!"
Lu Zhiming was a little impatient.
"It's settled! I'll give you three days to choose someone. If you don't choose, I'll make the decision!"
"I'm reminding you, don't even think about escaping. There are cliffs all over the place. You won't be able to find the way out of the village, and you might even fall into the animal trap!"
"Let's all go!"
That little bit of friendship was immediately forgotten by Lu Zhiming.
The Huo family is very popular.
Huo Jingya said angrily: "Mom, grandpa is thinking about his father for nothing, he is also a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"
The old lady was also disappointed, but not because of this.
"Who cares about him? Your grandfather has nothing to do with him. I just made that up! I just read this case file before."
In order to avoid being exposed, the Prime Minister once attempted to strangle the person who knew the truth, so she knew that Lu Boyuan had damaged his throat and had difficulty speaking.
ah?
Even Sang Ning was stunned.
Fake?
The old lady curled her lips at her: "That sounds like it, doesn't it?"
Just like what Sang Ning said about the Marquis' deeds at that time, she realized afterwards that it was all made up!
As long as what is said is true and justified, who can tell the truth?
However, the descendants of the Lu family are not grateful, so the effect is average.
“Similar, so similar!”
Sang Ning gave a thumbs up. She hadn't doubted it at all.
The old lady’s acting was excellent, and she even shed tears of sadness.
Although the result was not changed, Lu Zhiming's attitude was better.
There is still time to make plans.
Sang Ning couldn't hold on any longer and his vision went dark.
"Mom, you guys chat first, I'll be dizzy for a while."
After she finished speaking, she slid down, shocking the old lady.
This kid doesn't play by the rules?
Huo Jingya was quick to hug her.
"Xiaoya! Carry me over here!"
On the bed, the young man supported his upper body, his eyes full of anxiety.
