Chapter 20 No One Wants to Save People
Liang Jiamin looked at them and said, "No, even if all three of you go, you're all old, weak, sick, and disabled. It won't be easy for others to find you, and it will only cause more trouble."
While avoiding the wolf attack, Lu Zhixi fell to the ground and now walks with a limp. It will be difficult for him to travel tomorrow, let alone go to the bottom of the cliff in the rain and dark to find someone.
Lu Shili was injured while fighting the wolves. Although the bleeding had stopped after being bandaged, it was obviously not suitable for him to go looking for help.
Su was not injured, but she was a weak woman.
She looked at the men from the second and third branches of the Lu family for help, "Second uncle, third uncle, could you please come with me to look for Shi Yan?"
Without a second thought, Lu Yingxun shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, that cliff is so high, how could anyone survive if they fell down? Several lives have already been lost, and you still want us to die. How can you be so vicious?"
Chen also pouted and said, "That's right. When you had benefits, you forgot us elders and disregarded family ties. You separated us and your family hid away to eat the good food. Now that you need us, you come to recognize us as your relatives. How shameless."
Su was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "Even though we separated before, Yan'er didn't ignore you when we encountered the wolves just now. If he hadn't protected you, would you still be here?"
"Second aunt, if it wasn't for my eldest brother helping you, you would have been torn to pieces by that wild wolf just like the eldest son of the Fang family. How could you be like this?"
Lu Zhixi sniffed and said, "And Uncle, how did Brother get the wound? Wasn't he bitten by a wolf when he was saving you? How could you do this?"
Lu Yingxun and Chen were both furious when Lu Zhixi tore off their veils.
Lu Yingxun stiffened his neck and said, "Did I call for help? Did they know I couldn't escape?"
Chen pointed at the wound on her face and said, "I could have easily avoided that wolf, but he was too nosy and insisted on helping me, causing me to fall to the ground and leaving such a big cut on my face. I'm lucky I didn't ask him for revenge, but you're still asking for a favor in front of me. I've never met such shameless people like you."
Su was deeply disheartened by the cold and shameless behavior of the second wife and her husband. She stopped Lu Zhixi, who was about to argue with them, and turned to look at the male heir of the third wife and said, "Third uncle, can your family send a few people to come with us to look for her? His third aunt also fell down. You won't just leave her there, will you?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bowen said angrily: "It's better for that shameless bitch to die."
As he spoke, he looked at Su angrily and said, "Don't think that I don't know about your son's affair with her all day long. They are an adulterous couple and a disgrace to our Lu family."
“You…you…”
Su pointed at Lu Bowen and shouted angrily, "If you don't want to help, then don't go! But why are you slandering my son like this? My son is an upright person and would never do something that would bring disgrace to our family."
Not to mention that Su and others were angry, even the officials present could not stand it and felt that the other two branches of the Lu family were too cold-hearted and shameless.
No wonder Jiang Tangtang excluded the two families from cooking before. She must have known their character well in advance.
At this moment, Madam Lu's cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the room, "Su, has Cheng'er come out to look for you? Have you seen Cheng'er? Cheng'er is gone!"
The children were all caught in the rain and frightened. After arriving at the post station, they all fell ill one after another.
Su came to Liang Jiamin and begged him to let them go find someone. Old Madam Lu was taking care of the children in the room, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Lu Jingcheng disappeared.
When she heard the child was missing, Su Shi didn't bother to argue with the people from the third house. She stood up in shock and cried, "Cheng'er, where have you been? Please don't get hurt! If anything happens to you, I will kill you!"
"Let's find the child first! We can talk about finding Lu Dalang and the others after tomorrow morning." Liang Jiamin said, and ordered several officers to go out.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the child would never run away secretly.
It’s too chaotic today.
Although they arrived at the post station in the dark, many officials were injured and several prisoners were dead. After arriving at the post station, the officials were busy bandaging the wounds, counting the dead prisoners, and making records to facilitate reporting to their superiors.
Among the prisoners, there are even more who are injured and sick.
Although we arrived at the post station, there was still a lack of medical care and medicine.
I was so busy that I didn't have time to take care of it.
Fortunately, Lu Jingcheng was young. Although he wanted to go back to find his father, his short legs made him walk slowly and he was sick. After a while, the police found him on the official road.
Seeing the officer coming back with the child, Su burst into tears.
Mrs. Lu hurried over to take the child and thanked the officials.
Looking at the miserable state of the Lu family's eldest wife, the officials present couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Finally, Liang Jiamin said, "Take good care of the child! Don't worry about finding him. We'll send someone to check at the bottom of the cliff tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, sir!"
The official had already spoken, and no matter how worried Su was about her son, there was nothing she could do. Furthermore, her grandchildren were all ill, so she could only suppress her worry and thank the official.
Madam Lu held Lu Jingcheng in her arms, touched his burning forehead, and angrily slapped the child on the buttocks twice, "Who told you to run around? You're not a good boy, running around even when you're sick."
"I want to go find my dad!" Lu Jingcheng held back his tears, stubbornly refusing to let them fall.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Lu was deeply saddened and burst into tears. She choked and said, "Your father will come back on his own. You don't have to look for him. He will be fine!"
It was more like comforting herself than comforting the child.
"Yes! Your father was always able to turn danger into safety on the battlefield. This is just a small cliff. He will be fine."
Su wiped away her tears and said to her eldest grandson, "You must be well and get better soon. Don't let your father worry when he comes back."
Lu Jingcheng looked at the two of them, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Great-grandmother, grandmother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have secretly gone out to look for father. I made you worry."
Seeing her eldest grandson's expression when he spoke was the same as her son's, and his face was exactly the same as her son's when he was a child, Su almost couldn't help crying again.
Madam Lu said, "Go find the clothes and dry them first, then change the child. I'll go give the child his medicine! Don't worry, don't worry about it, and get enough rest."
Su held back her tears and nodded heavily.
That night, almost everyone in the Lu family's main house did not sleep, anxiously waiting for dawn.
