Chapter 067 The Indifferent Lu Xuan
"You want me to accompany you down the mountain to look for your relatives?" Lu Xuan looked at the person in front of him in surprise, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his lips.
The audience in the live broadcast room, busy eating, paused. Huh? Is the host going down the mountain?
The thin, weathered middle-aged man nodded and said, "As you know, several families in this village have daughters who married into other villages. Life in the village has settled down now, but we still don't know whether our daughter is alive or dead. We want to go look for her, and I hope you can come with us."
"Ah Xuan isn't going!" Lu Qing, who was busy steaming buns, immediately became anxious when she heard this. She pulled Lu Xuan behind her and said with a vigilant expression, "We don't need anyone at home, why should he go?"
Lei Yan, who was helping out on the other side, also rushed over and said, "Lu Xuan has a lot of other things to do, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
The tall, sturdy villager next to the thin one said, "Of course we can't help. Lu Xuan is very capable, and if you go with us, our chances of finding him will be much higher. When we find him, our families will be grateful to you forever. If you want a reward, just let us know."
Lu Xuan calmly wrung another box of soybeans, "I don't need anything."
The middle-aged man was speechless, "Then..."
"Sun Dahai, He Laoer! What are you doing?" Li Tie, who received the news, hurried over and interrupted them with a grim face.
The two of them looked embarrassed and said, "Village Chief."
"We think that one more person means more strength."
They understood the village chief's concerns, but after all, it was just the village chief's own thoughts. What if Lu Xuan himself was willing?
Lu Xuan has helped them so much before, I think he will not stand by and watch them die this time.
Li Tie has known these two guys for many years, so it's no wonder he can't guess what they are thinking.
He was angry at their disregard for the overall situation, but also worried that Lu Xuan would be persuaded by them. So, without bothering to scold them, he turned around and advised Lu Xuan, "Ah Xuan, please don't be impulsive."
At this time, there were several different opinions on the barrage.
[After all, she's his biological daughter, and with the anchor as a ready-made candidate, it's only natural to want to maximize the chances of finding someone.]
[Normal bullshit, isn't this moral kidnapping? I hate people like this the most!]
[You didn't lose your daughter, so of course you think they're using moral blackmail. Put yourself in their shoes and you'll understand.]
[How funny! Why should I consider things from the perspective of someone who wants to morally blackmail me? Am I being a jerk?]
[They say that if we go together, we'll be grateful for life. But if we go and don't find the person, will we hate the anchor forever?]
However, having said that, because of the many ways Lu Xuan had helped the villagers before, most people still thought that he would most likely agree.
He said he had everything he needed, but he didn't refuse at all, right?
So after criticizing Sun and He, the unhappy audience began to console themselves, saying, "Let's go down the mountain. It's a good opportunity to see what the other disaster victims of this era are doing now."
When the other audience members saw this, their eyes lit up. Are they going to change the map?
Lu Xuan glanced at the comments and said, "Who said I was going down the mountain?" Then, under the surprised gazes of the audience and villagers, he said to Sun He and the others, "You two are going to look for your daughter. What does that have to do with me?"
Li Tie, who was still thinking about how to persuade him, was stunned.
Sun Dahai and the other two were even more stunned. "What did you say?"
Lu Xuan's brows were cold, and his tone was indescribably cold: "I said, if you want to go, go by yourselves, don't drag me into this."
Sun Dahai: "But..."
"No buts." At this moment, Lu Xuan showed his cold side for the first time. "There's no need for me to abandon my family and waste my time and energy for a few people who might have died in the earthquake."
Sun and He's expressions changed immediately, and they said excitedly: "Who did you say died? Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Xuan spoke bluntly without giving them any face, "It wasn't just Yunlu Village that experienced the ground cracking and the earth turning upside down during the earthquake. The surrounding villages were also affected. Even if there's a one in ten million chance of survivors, it's rare. Even if you don't want to admit it, the possibility of people being dead is much higher than being alive."
The two people's faces turned pale in an instant.
When Li Tie thought of Li Yue, his face instantly darkened.
“Dang—”
Lu Qing heard the noise and turned around, just in time to see Aunt Jinfeng drop the spatula in her hand with a sad face.
Lu Qing felt a little bit sorry for her brother and looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Even if it's true, don't say it so bluntly.
Lu Xuan didn't care about that. He said indifferently, "I have already reminded you of everything I should have done. I have done my best. I have no obligation to continue to accompany you. You are not a little kid anymore. Since you decided to leave, you must take responsibility for your choice."
Life or death is their own choice.
It’s not that Sun Dahai and the other two don’t understand these principles, but... as people who have lost their loved ones, generally speaking, shouldn’t they be more cautious with them and consider their feelings more?
Among the onlookers, a young woman stood up and blamed Lu Xuan, saying, "Even if that's the case, there's no need to be so extreme. Isn't it said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda? If we can find more living people, there will be strength in numbers, and we can look after each other if we run into trouble in the future."
Lu Qing was furious and wanted to stand up and scold them, but she didn't expect Su Ying to appear out of nowhere and said to the young woman with a smile, "Sister Yuan'er, seeing Uncle Sun and the others wanting to look for their daughter, and thinking of your own parents and brothers, are you tempted too?"
Su Ying gently curled the hair by her ear with her slender hand and looked at Li Yuaner meaningfully.
"I remember your mother's family is from Xiaofu Village, right? Before the disaster, you were always trying to help her family. Your parents are so lucky to have such a filial daughter like you."
Su Ying glanced inadvertently at Zhang Gui and the old couple of the Zhang family beside Li Yuaner. Sure enough, the faces of the three of them were not very good. Li Yuaner's mother-in-law even glared at her confused daughter-in-law.
Zhang Gui pulled Li Yuan'er back, his face unhappy: "Why are you meddling in this?"
Mother Zhang lowered her voice and warned through gritted teeth, "It's not like our family didn't inform our in-laws back then. It was your parents who laughed at us for being deceived and refusing to listen. Now you regret it, but Lu Xuan doesn't owe you anything!"
Didn’t you hear that Lu Xuan had already rejected her? What good would it do for her and her family if she showed up and offended Lu Xuan at this time?
Don’t expect your daughter-in-law to make any contribution to her husband’s family, but at least don’t be a drag!
Li Yuaner said with red eyes: "After all, they are my parents and brothers."
Mother Zhang was speechless. It’s not that I don’t want you to care about your relatives, it’s your score!
Li Yuaner was quickly pushed back by the Zhang family, but there were more than one family in the village who married wives from other villages. After being reminded by Li Yuaner, those female relatives couldn't help but feel restless.
One of the men was easily persuaded by his wife's wink and couldn't help but persuade her: "Lu Xuan, just tell me what you want in exchange for helping me. Everyone is desperate to find someone, so don't be so arrogant. As long as you can find my wife's relatives, just ask for whatever you want."
Lu Xuan: “?”
Live broadcast audience: ???
[If you don't understand, just ask: Who gave them the confidence to think they could negotiate with the anchor? Baby confused jpg.]
They were able to survive the earthquake and find a new place to live thanks to the anchor. What benefits do they think the anchor, who has enough power and a live broadcast system, can get from them?
[He's still talking, what a big mouth! What the anchor wants most is a spaceship. Can he afford it?]
【These days, there are always some people who are apparently ordinary but inexplicably full of confidence.】
Lu Xuan sneered. Did these people have a very good life these days? They were all trembling in front of him.
"That's your Yue family, not mine. If you're worried, go find them yourself."
The man said without hesitation: "But you are more capable than me."
Chen Rong, who had been watching the excitement in the crowd for a while, couldn't help but sneer, "This is the first time in my life that I've seen someone so confident in their incompetence."
"Let's say Lu Xuan really agrees to go with you. If something happens here as soon as you leave, can you afford the compensation?
Chen Rong said in a sly tone, "Don't even mention the idea of paying with your lives. Even if you give us your lives, can the people who got hurt come back to life? It's just empty talk that sounds convincing. Your lives are very important to you, but they are not worth mentioning to others.
Don't even mention giving anything in return. Lu Xuan has so many supplies in his hands that he can't even count them. He's been favored by the gods, so what good things has he not seen? He doesn't even look down on what you give him. The effort and reward are simply not aligned from the beginning."
Lu Xuan glanced at Chen Rong in surprise, and the latter chuckled, "Am I wrong? You must find them annoying too."
Lu Xuan gave him a rare look of appreciation, "Well said."
Chen Rong immediately became proud.
On the other hand, the henpecked man looked unhappy. "Chen Rong, what does this have to do with you? It's your turn to interrupt."
Chen Rong, who had just received Lu Xuan's approval, was also very tough, "What do these things of yours have to do with Lu Xuan?"
It’s not even his turn to interrupt. Does he think he is some big shot? Bah!
Sun Dahai and He Laoer were accidentally marginalized because of repeated interruptions, but looking at their unwavering expressions, it was clear that they still had not given up trying to get Lu Xuan to go on the road with them.
Lu Xuan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. He moved his fingers and more than a dozen giant blood-sucking vines suddenly jumped out from behind him without warning, waving wildly in the air.
"ah--!"
“Oh my God!”
"Help! There's a monster!"
Many villagers in the village had only heard of the story of the fairy vine from other people. When they suddenly saw these living things, their legs went weak on the spot.
