Chapter 24: The He family's protection of their shortcomings. Ye Lu talked to the Helan leader about this...
Ye Lu told the Helan chief about this matter, mainly talking about the special reaction of the Xi Ming man. Ye Lu did not tell his instinctive premonition that this was not a good thing, and he did not want to let others know that there were two people in their family with such special talents.
The Helan leader had a serious expression on his face and asked, "Are you saying that something is chasing us?"
There were many people in the carriage. When Ye Lu came to knock on the door this morning, everyone was gathered together, including Master He, Fourth Uncle He, Village Chief Qian, and two guards who looked familiar to Ye Lu. When Ye Lu heard the voice and lifted the curtain, he happened to meet everyone's gaze.
Qian Bacun looked panicked and asked, "Could it be a drought? Could there be something in the drought?"
There was complete silence in the carriage.
This kind of speculation is very likely to be true.
Before the crowd could even feel lucky that they had listened to Ah Xiwawa's premonition and fled without hesitation, otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen to them now.
"Let's go!" Helan said without hesitation.
As soon as these words were spoken, the escort team sped up its operations.
Ye Lu returned to the carriage.
When the fleeing team really picked up speed, Ye Lu and the other two saw how fast the people in this world were. In less than half an incense stick of time, the team that was originally setting up camp had quickly organized and caught up with the ox cart in front, moving forward slowly.
"Hurry up, keep up with the convoy in front, and don't worry about what's happening outside. Goddess Bronze Mirror will protect us." Below the convoy, the guards were shouting loudly all around, urging the drivers to speed up. Under their feet, the black dogs were also a little restless, and they kept looking around, as if they were alert to something.
Perhaps it was the urging of the guards.
Perhaps it was the oppressive feeling of impending storm in the team, the villagers in the entire fleeing team had no objection and obediently sped up. From time to time, there were sounds of whispers coming from the carriages.
Qian Bacun had been staying in the leading carriage. He didn't even go back home. He was always looking ahead. The driver was still He Si. He Si's talent was in combat, not auxiliary. However, He Si was experienced, and sometimes he could avoid many dangers by relying on his experience.
Qian Bacun lifted the curtain and looked at the dim sky in front of him. He didn't know if he was wrong from time to time, but he always felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The dim sky was like heavy clouds, as if it would fall from the horizon at any moment, which made people feel uneasy.
Qian Bacun lowered the curtain, not daring to continue looking. He tugged at his robe and said, "Captain Lan, why didn't you let me keep Lu Wazi? It's so urgent now. If Lu Wazi uses his talent, we don't know how much danger we will be in!"
"Nonsense!" Before Helan could even open his mouth, He Shushi interrupted Qianbacun with a serious face.
"Where is Lu Wazi's talent? Can he use it at will?" Master He looked serious, staring straight at Qian Bacun, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Before Helan could say anything, He Shushi had already said Qian Bacun, but that didn't mean she was willing to let Qian Bacun, the fool, go. She rolled her eyes and said, "You say move, and it moves? Didn't you see that last time after showing us the way, Lu Wazi collapsed on the ground and slept for a long time."
"This kind of thing? You let him do this. What do you want to do? Do you want him to overdraw his talent? Not only is he from He Village, he is also a child of our He family. Let me tell you, Mr. Qian, look, do you think you can bully Lu because he has no parents? We, his aunts and uncles, are still here!" The Helan leader said in an unhappy tone.
When Qian Bacun heard this, he knew he was wrong, and quickly raised his hand to admit his mistake, saying, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Lu Wazi is still a child from He Village. I brought this child back to Xiaoye Village with you. How could I bully him?"
"That's not necessarily true." The Helan leader sneered and said, "What if Lu Wazi's parents were still in our He Village? Especially if Lu Wazi's mother was still here, would you still dare to say this?"
"Isn't it that your kid doesn't feel bad?"
Although Ye Lu's mother has no talent, her strength is pretty good. She is born with great strength. Also, she is the youngest of this generation in the He family. She is lively and cheerful. She calls her older brothers and sisters "brothers and sisters" and has a sweet mouth. She has been spoiled since she was a child, especially He Si, He Qi and He Lan. These three are spoiled very much.
It is true that in this world, both men and women are rushing towards being tough and fearless. If they meet a sweet girl, everyone will like her. Otherwise, it would be impossible that when Qian Bacun just said that Ye Lu should use his talent, every one of the people with the surname He in the carriage disagreed, especially He Lan, who had a bad temper and simply started asking back, "Do you really want to bully her child?"
Ye Lu's mother's personality also became a little bit arrogant because of this, and she also passed on the tradition of the He family. What is the tradition of the He family? Protecting the shortcomings!
Especially protecting one's shortcomings!
You, Qian Bacun, now dare to say that she let her baby overdraw her talent. The next moment, if she didn't slap you in the face, it would be because the carriage was too big and she got lost.
"No, no, no, sister, don't talk nonsense, I just didn't think so much!" Qian Bacun couldn't help shuddering when he thought of Ye Lu's mother. Then he heard the accusations Helan pressed on him, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying with a bitter face: "I didn't dare to bully Lu kid!"
Qian Bacun was also wronged. He really didn't see how exhausted Lu Wazi was at that time.
When the refugees arrived at the new place, as the village chief, didn't he have to make arrangements? Who? Where did they live? If there was a conflict between one family and another, they couldn't live together. And who should carry water first and who should carry water later? Qian Bacun was so busy that he almost collapsed. How could he have the energy to pay attention to this?
"You'd better not have!" Helan snorted coldly. He believed Qian Bacun's words and did not pursue him relentlessly. Thinking about Qian Bacun's affairs, he probably did not notice Lu Wazi.
But you can’t blame the He family for reacting so strongly.
When Ye Lu showed his talent, He Si saw it all. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and went home without hesitation to tell his uncle He San. That night, uncle He San gathered all the He family members who had a say in the village, gathered in his carriage, and started talking.
There is only one thing, we cannot continue to let Lu Wazi use his talent like this.
"The little kid doesn't know how precious his talent is. If he uses it carelessly, what if he overdraws it? And there are the people in the village. In the eyes of some people, Lu Wazi has no parents, so he can be compromised. What's wrong with you giving in? What if Lu Wazi refuses? Even if they don't say anything, they will be worried in their hearts."
"So we, the He family, must show our attitude."
This is what led to the current attitude of the He family. The talent of their child cannot be overdrawn at will. Qian Bacun was just unlucky and walked into the trap.
The He family was right to worry. At least if Ye Lu's biological parents were there, Qian Bacun probably wouldn't even dare to say such words. He simply didn't think so much. But Ye Lu's mother was in the carriage, and even if Qian Bacun didn't think so much, he still had to think more about how to start the conversation.
Helan was not going to keep hanging on to Qian Bacun to embarrass him. She just wanted to show her attitude to the villagers. Although Lu Wazi's parents were gone, his uncle's family were still alive.
When Qian Bacun heard Helan's cold snort, the bitterness on his face became even more intense. He hated himself for speaking too quickly. He was also glad that He Si was driving in front and had no time to come over, otherwise he wouldn't be able to just hang around for a while.
"I'll go and see the road ahead." Qian Bacun didn't want to continue staying in the carriage. Mainly because after what Helan and the others said, he remembered the appearance of Lu Wazi when he first entered Xiaoye Village. He was a small ball, and he was terrified when he saw something weird. He felt bad to let such a child face danger.
Qian Bacun sighed in his heart, should he go out and see for himself? It’s dangerous.
What kind of world is this?
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw He Si next to the driver. He Si had a blank expression on his face and didn't say anything, but Qian Bacun saw that the latter's jaw was tense and he could tell he was in a bad mood. He must have heard the conversation in the car but was unable to speak because he was driving.
"..." Qian Bacun didn't dare to continue talking to He Si. He was afraid of making He Si angry and kicking him out of the car. He Si was really capable of doing this. Anyway, Qian Bacun had awakened his talent, so he wouldn't die for a while if he was kicked out.
Qian Bacun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't say anything and turned to look from the front of the car to the back. Lu Wazi just said that A Xi Wawa dreamed that something was chasing him.
Qian Bacun suspected that it was something strange that came from the drought-stricken area, but he didn't know what it was. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any result, so he couldn't help but look back. Qian Bacun still believed in Ah Xiwawa's talent.
Qian Bacun squinted his eyes and looked at the sky behind the convoy.
The sky was dim. After fleeing from famine for so long, he had become accustomed to this color, the heat, the dryness, the sour feeling of sweat slowly flowing down and finally drying on his clothes. The only possibility was that the sky seemed a little yellower than he usually saw.
A very dull dark yellow, like dried soil?
Qian Bacun couldn't help but look at it several times.
The five senses of awakened people are much sharper than those of ordinary people. Qian Bacun noticed something was wrong when he saw the dark yellow sky for a while. He couldn't help but straighten his upper body and looked towards the horizon with squinting eyes. He seemed to have seen a few black spots just now.
"Helan, come out quickly, is there something moving over there?" Qian Bacun shouted hurriedly.
"Where?" Helan's voice came from inside the carriage. She simply looked out from the back door of the carriage.
Sure enough, the deep yellow color of the sky seemed to become deeper, and a few faint black spots appeared in the distant sky, moving rapidly.
Then it stopped for a while, and seemed to see something behind it, so it sped up and rushed towards this side.
"Qian Bacun, you idiot, that's a human being?!" Helan's eyesight was much better than Qian Bacun's. After all, she was the captain of the guard. She immediately saw the identity of the black spots. They were a group of ragged and miserable refugees.
Helan couldn't help but curse Qian Bacun for his bad mouth.
Because she saw more than just this group of refugees.
Helan also saw huge waves and winds chasing closely behind the group of refugees. A few strange figures were vaguely visible in the deep yellow winds.
It has a snake body, a human head, a strange appearance, thin limbs, a hunched upper body, and a fierce look in its eyes.
Snake man? A monster.
What made Helan even more frightened was that these snake people and monsters seemed to have seen the fleeing team from afar, and without hesitation changed their targets, and were already riding the strong wind towards this side.
The next moment.
The crisp sound of bronze mirrors echoed throughout the team.
Weird sneak attack!
