Lu Erlang, Lu Sanlang, Lu Silang and their group did not leave either.
Seeing his two cousins still there, Lu Silang glanced in the direction of the mound and asked knowingly, "What delicious food did you make here? Can you share some with us?"
"No, this is ours! You didn't contribute, so I can't share it with you." Hu Zi was not afraid of Lu Erlang and Lu Sanlang at all, and he rejected Lu Silang's request out of the blue.
"Yes, this is ours, we can't share it with you."
The other children also refused the older children's request. Just because they were young didn't mean they were stupid. The food buried in the soil had taken them a whole morning to dig out, and only those who worked could get a share. Moreover, there wasn't much food in there to begin with. If they shared some with others, there wouldn't be anything left for them!
So all the children present refused to share their food with the older children.
There were brothers and cousins among the two groups of children, but even if their older brothers (cousins) threatened them, these younger children refused to share their food with their brothers.
The older children also knew that Hu Zi was the grandson of their village chief. They could bully their brothers and other children in the village at will, but they dared not bully the village chief's grandson. So when the older children saw that these children refused to share their food with them, although they were very angry, they could do nothing about it.
Seeing that they couldn't share the food with the children, the group of older children had to move to another place.
***
At this time, the Lu family's yard was filled with villagers watching the fun.
Lu Youtian, who had walked out that morning, was carried home. He lay on a wooden board, his clothes and hair disheveled, one leg dangling unnaturally, a bloody hole in his thigh, and he was unconscious. The pain knitted his brows together, and he let out a low moan from time to time.
Seeing her husband being carried back, Liu Sanniang was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. She knelt beside her husband, holding his hand tightly with trembling hands, and kept calling out: "Husband, husband..."
"Husband, wake up, don't scare me..." Tears as big as beans fell one by one. Looking at her husband like this, Liu Sanniang was full of fear.
"What the hell is going on? How come he's fine and comes back like this?" Old Man Lu was shocked to see his third son being carried back in this state. He looked at his other three sons standing there, then at the eldest son, and asked, "Big Boss, tell me, what's going on?"
Old Mrs. Lu glanced at her third son lying on the ground, and also looked at the other three sons who came back with him.
"Today, we went up the mountain to cut trees at the request of Manager Liu, and we encountered a wild boar... My third brother was hit by a wild boar." What Boss Lu didn't actually say was that if it weren't for his third brother, he would have been the one injured. But now, in front of so many people, he didn't have the courage to say this fact. If he did, if his younger brother were to suffer any misfortune, everyone would think he was the one who caused it.
Even if his younger brother survived, he would have a broken leg and no one knew if he had any other health problems. If he spent the rest of his life lying in bed, unable to work, wouldn't he, as the older brother, have to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother and nephew for the rest of his life? Regardless of the situation, Boss Lu didn't want to take on this responsibility.
The only thing Boss Lu felt fortunate about at the moment was that they were the only two brothers there when the accident happened, and no one else knew what was going on. He looked at his third brother lying on the ground, and a thought came to his mind: If this third brother died, would no one know about this?
All of her sons were her own children and had been raised by her own hands. As soon as Old Lady Lu saw her eldest son's expression, she knew he must be hiding something from them. Her gaze flickered between her two sons, and she guessed that what he was hiding was probably related to what had happened today.
However, in front of so many people in the village, she did not get to the bottom of this issue. She was thinking that she would ask her eldest son privately what was going on later.
"Move the third child into the house first." Old Mrs. Lu winked at her eldest son.
Hearing this, Boss Lu called his two younger brothers to help, and together they moved the third brother who was lying on the wooden board into the third room.
Liu Sanniang followed behind into the house with a dazed look on her face.
Standing outside the door, Old Lady Lu whispered something to her eldest daughter-in-law. Mrs. Sun nodded and went to talk to the neighbors standing in their yard watching the fun, saying, "It's not convenient to entertain you all today. Please go home first and come to our house another day."
When the villagers saw that Sun had come to invite them to leave, they couldn't shamelessly stay and watch the fun, so they had to leave.
When Lu Mingfei ran back to the door of his house, he saw a lot of people leaving. There happened to be a familiar aunt behind him. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the aunt's hand and asked, "Aunt Guihua, why did you leave?"
"Qilang is back! You should go home and see your father." The woman looked at the cute, smart and sensible little boy in front of her, and remembered that he had just come back from selling goods with his father yesterday and had greeted her on the way. She felt a little sorry for the child who was so young and had lost his father. So she lowered her voice and said to the child, "Your father doesn't look well. Qilang, you'd better go and ask a doctor to take a look at him."
Just now, she had seen the expressions of Old Wang and the rest of the Lu family. They didn't look like they were planning to call a doctor to treat their son's injuries. Everyone in the village was well aware of the situation within the Lu family. They knew how much the Lu elders favored the eldest son and his grandson. Now that the third son had gotten into this situation, she was worried that the Lu family would save money by not even hiring a doctor, and that he would die at home.
Liu had lived half her life and had seen many people and things. It wasn't that she thought people were bad, but some people were truly bad. Otherwise, when someone in the family was injured, instead of rushing to invite a doctor to treat them, they would hastily drive the neighbors and villagers away. Perhaps they were afraid that outsiders would see what happened next, so they hurriedly drove them away.
The adults' words made Lu Mingfei certain that something had really happened to his father and that his older cousins hadn't lied. After receiving this confirmation, he felt a surge of panic and fear.
"Auntie will go back first. Qilang, you should go find a doctor as soon as possible. It will be too late if you delay any longer." The woman left with these words and left in a hurry.
Watching the woman hurried away, Lu Mingfei glanced back and saw the door to the Lu family's courtyard being closed from the inside. He stood there, staring at the closed door with a heavy gaze. After thinking for three seconds, he turned around and ran in a different direction.
