Chapter 102 Meat Running on the Street
Lu Xingluo put away her smile at this moment. "We haven't received any letters in seven days. I guess they didn't encounter any post stations along the way. My mother and I are very worried, but there's no point in worrying. We can only keep it to ourselves. Uncle Jiu said that we'll send someone out of the city this afternoon to investigate, but in these chaotic times, sending anyone out would feel like sending them to their deaths!"
As he spoke, Lu Xingluo lowered his eyes.
He was such a warm-hearted person and certainly didn't want anyone to get hurt.
Ding Xiaodie blurted out subconsciously: "You must not go alone."
"How do you know? That's exactly what I was thinking." Lu Xingluo looked at her in surprise.
Sure enough, this silly kid really wanted to go out by himself. Ding Xiaodie felt a little scared. He was so naive!
As long as you leave the gate of Yangliu Town, people in the outside world will not care whether you are the second young master of the Lu family.
At this point, we can only find a way to stabilize him.
Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to lie with an innocent look on her face: "Second Young Master, to be honest, I have a weakness. I can predict some future events. For example, your secret trip seems to have happened to me in a dream, so I think it's best if you don't go out."
"really?"
Lu Xingluo widened her eyes, which were as clear as springs. She was surprised that this little guy in front of her had such ability.
Ding Xiaodie nodded: "But it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. You must not tell anyone else."
"Okay, it's a deal."
No matter what, the child was finally stabilized, and Ding Xiaodie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingluo asked her in a surprisingly clever way, "As far as I know, you were the one who discovered the well water in the town government office. Could this also be a dream you had?"
Ding Xiaodie: “…”
Could he not be so clever? If he keeps thinking about it, he will be exposed.
Fortunately, Wang Dafeng and Ding Gui came back happily at this time, and they had already received the food as a reward.
Zhang Xiu put the steamed buns in a bamboo basket, Ding Gui put the porridge in a small porcelain bowl, and four pieces of meat were in the small bowl in Wang Dafeng's hand. She looked so cautious, as if she was afraid that the bowl would fall accidentally.
"Second Young Master, come, let's eat together."
"That's right, come sit down, Second Young Master. It's rare for you to come to our house, let's eat together!"
The three people's eyes were so wide with smiles when they saw Lu Xingluo. Xiaodie had just brought the second young master back to his home, and so many people in the village were jealous of him!
Lu Xingluo felt a little embarrassed when she saw the food they were holding. "I gave you too little this time, Uncle, Aunt, Grandma, I'm so sorry."
"No way, your Lu family can't support so many people." Ding Gui quickly put down the porridge and said sincerely.
Wang Dafeng was thinking about whether she should try to build relationships secretly, such as asking for more meat or something, but that damn girl was desperately hinting at her with her eyes not to do anything rash.
This girl is so honest!
Ding Xiaodie winked and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, let's eat together!"
"No, I have to go back and talk to my mother about distributing the food. You guys eat. I'll come to see you another day." Lu Xingluo was too embarrassed to eat. With a slightly embarrassed look on his handsome face, he said this, clasped his fists, and hurried away.
Ding Xiaodie saw this and felt a little sorry for him. It was really difficult for him to have to endure something he shouldn't have to endure at such a young age.
After dinner, Ding Xiaodie quietly told her parents about the worries the Lu family was currently facing.
At this moment, she hated herself even more for being dressed like a little kid.
If she was an adult, at least she wouldn't be so weak physically and could be of some help.
Mr. and Mrs. Ding Gui certainly understood their daughter's worries, but they were the same and could do nothing but feel helpless.
"Or I can go out for a while. It will be more convenient for me to go alone. I can just walk quietly along the mountains and forests, and I can hide even if I encounter desert soldiers." After a moment of silence, Ding Gui spoke.
"That won't work. We don't even know which direction the eldest young master and Mr. Lu will return. We still have to think rationally." Ding Xiaodie dispelled her father's idea.
Now, anyone who leaves the city will face great risks, and she will definitely not let her father go.
Not to mention Zhang Xiu, she didn't say a word. If Ding Gui dared to go, she would pull him back even if she had to hold his thighs.
Ding Xiaodie said: "In short, for now we can only wait and see what happens. There is no other way."
…
Time flies and two days have passed.
There is still no news about the eldest young master and Mr. Lu.
At this critical juncture, the water in the yamen well had been distributed.
Ding Xiaodie entered the space these two days and stocked up some food and water, but because she had never helped others, the space did not give her much, but did give her a box of cold medicine.
That's good, medicine is the best self-defense at any time of the year.
What Ding Xiaodie is thinking about now is how to use the cuckoo machine to release water into the well again.
The midday sun was still scorching the earth. There were almost no people on the streets during the day. Everyone was so hot in their rooms that they had to fan themselves, let alone walk outside.
When the weather gets hot, everyone feels sleepy and lazy.
Even Ding Shun was too lazy to move despite suffering such a great humiliation.
Originally, he heard his wife Fang Cuihua say that Ding Rong touched her buttocks in the dark of night. If this happened in the village before, he would definitely go to Ding Rong's house and fight with him.
But now, he was too hot to move, and he might die at any time, so why should he care about his butt?
Besides, he's already touched her, so what's the big deal if you start a fight?
Fang Cuihua was choked by Ding Shun and almost vomited blood. She made a fuss for a whole day and night. In the end, she was exhausted and couldn't make any more noise. What was even more terrifying was that she actually thought in her mind, I've already touched him, so forget it.
How lazy and hot this is!
Even your thoughts will become confused.
Ding Xiaodie lay on the windowsill, looking at the empty street, listening to her mother talking in Wang Dafeng's room. The two of them were making straw sandals while gossiping about Ding Shun's family.
She looked lazy and yawned deeply. It was so hot and sleepy. It would be great if there was an air conditioner or a fan!
At this moment, two small black animals suddenly ran across the street.
Well!
Ding Xiaodie quickly sat up straight. They were indeed animals, but they moved very fast. By the time she wanted to see them clearly, they had already disappeared.
But Ding Xiaodie soon realized that they were two mice.
No way?
Are there still rats in this day and age?
On the way here, not only mice but even ants can be stuffed into the mouths of refugees.
The mouse is a big piece of meat!
Unexpectedly, just when Ding Xiaodie had not yet recovered, she suddenly saw three or four mice running towards the other side of the street at a very fast speed.
She was stunned.
At the same time, the originally silent street suddenly heard a series of banging sounds of doors opening. The doors of several houses opened, and the villagers rushed towards the rats desperately.
