Chapter 152 Goods Delivered
Mrs. Lu fell asleep soon after she lay down. Her personal maid Qiuju sat beside her, using a branch to help her gently drive away the tiny mosquitoes in the woods.
Qiuju was also very tired, and while rushing around, she fell asleep on the side.
When the porridge was ready, the other maids came in to wake her up, wanting to ask Madam Lu to get up and drink some porridge, but Madam Lu's diet has always been very regular, and she would never eat in the middle of the night, so they could only ask the master!
Master Lu leaned against the dry leaves in the open air and slept for a while. He was now full of energy. He said, "No need to wake her up. Let her sleep. I will do it again for her tomorrow morning."
Right now, the Lu family doesn't eat together with the people in Aozi Village, so there is no need to worry about food.
Qiuju naturally listened to the master and did not dare to disturb the lady. She waited until the food for the master and the two young masters was prepared before the servants started to eat.
While eating, the little girls sat behind a dead tree and wiped their tears.
"What if the desert soldiers attack? I was sold to the Lu family, but it's not a life contract. If I follow the contract, I can go home in two years!"
"Me too. I wonder what's happening with my parents at home."
"Woo woo, stop talking. The more you talk, the more scared I get."
"I never thought the Lu family would fall into such a state. If I had known this, I would have been better off..."
"Not as good as what?"
Qiuju heard it carefully. These little girls used to serve the lady closely. She never expected that they would say such words. It is true that people's hearts are hidden. Until they are in trouble, they really can't tell whether the people around them are human or ghosts.
Qiu Ju stood out angrily, glaring at them and scolding them harshly, "Don't mention your indentures. Don't you know why Madam bought you? Do you really think the Lu family is short of maids? That was to help your parents out of an urgent need. In order to keep you two, Madam even sent the best maid back. She didn't want to leave. She only asked them to leave because the family conditions were better and they could survive.
"Now that disaster is imminent, you are still talking cheaply like this. You are such heartless bastards. I will tell my wife that it is useless to keep you here. Your hearts are not here, so I will let you go. Aren't you worried about being killed by the desert soldiers? Aren't you worried about your parents at home? Then run for your lives, and then go back home to see if your parents are still waiting for you."
The little maids looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected the eldest maid Qiuju to suddenly appear. When they heard that she was going to tell the mistress, they were so frightened that they could only shake their hands: "Sister Qiuju, we were wrong. That's not what we meant."
"What does that mean?"
Qiuju stopped and looked at them seriously.
In fact, she didn't want to tell her wife, because she didn't want to upset her at this time. Besides, if these girls really left, then they would really have no way to survive.
They are so naive that they still worry about their parents at home, but no one knows where their parents have gone to now.
Moreover, if these girls leave, it will definitely shake the morale of the army, so we cannot let go.
But it's always a scare.
As expected, the little girls were so frightened that they dropped to their knees. "Sister Qiuju, we are just afraid to speak. We all know how Madam treats us. At this critical juncture for the Lu family, we will never leave."
"Hmph, you still have some conscience. You know Madam treats you well. Let's forget about this matter today. If I hear something like this again, I will definitely not stay. Think about it carefully. If you leave the Lu family now, can you still survive? There are desert soldiers ahead, and endless mountains behind. If you can make it out, I, Qiuju, would rather die in front of you."
The little girls were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly: "We won't dare anymore, we really won't dare anymore!"
This time I am not saying anything against my will, I really don’t dare to do it anymore.
That's one thing to say, but when you really think about where to go after leaving, everyone naturally feels panicked.
Qiu Ju snorted coldly: "Then from today on, I will serve the Madam, the Master, and the two Young Masters wholeheartedly."
"yes."
This scene happened to be seen by Lu Xingluo and Lu Chenhe who were on night patrol.
Lu Xingluo's face was filled with worry: "Brother, it seems that we can't keep people's hearts!"
Lu Chenhe, on the other hand, was completely composed: "It doesn't matter if you don't want the people who need to stay. Xingluo, remember, if anyone else asks to leave in the future, let them go."
"I understand, bro."
The two brothers walked forward with heavy hearts.
They patrolled not only the Lu family area, but also the Aozi Village area.
Although the two teams were grouped together into one, for convenience, they each occupied half of the mountainside.
They also went to Aozi Village to take a look and reassure the people.
Because they had a water source, the people in Aozi Village had cooked porridge not long ago. As the two walked forward, they both thought of Ding Xiaodie's little face and wondered if she had eaten enough.
There is a steamed bun hidden in Lu Xingluo's sleeve!
There was an apple in Lu Chenhe's sleeve. He felt that Xiaodie liked apples more. That day at Lu's house, Xiaodie smiled with satisfaction after eating the ice apple, which he would never forget.
"Ouch!"
Lu Xingluo, who was walking in front, accidentally tripped over something and was not paying attention for a moment, and fell flat on his face.
It hurts. What did your foot hit?
"Starfall."
Because the light from the tinderbox in his hand was not very bright, it could only illuminate a small area. Lu Chenhe hurried to help Lu Xingluo: "Where did you fall?"
Although this kid is usually a bit clumsy, he still knows a few martial arts moves. His hands and feet are naturally agile and nimble, so he won't fall easily.
"I don't know either!"
Lu Xingluo was rubbing his feet. The two of them looked over and saw that he had tripped over a wooden stick. No, a closer look revealed that it was not an ordinary wooden stick. It looked like it had been polished, and there were not just one stick, but two, side by side.
What is this?
The two brothers were wondering in their hearts, and they raised the tinder to shine upwards, and found that it was actually a wheelbarrow.
Uh, no, no!
"elder brother……"
Lu Xingluo stammered excitedly: "Unicycles, so... so many."
"I saw it!" Lu Chenhe opened his mouth slightly in surprise. It was indeed a unicycle, and there were more than one. They were neatly arranged in a row. After counting, there were actually ten of them.
Looking at these brand new unicycles, the two brothers were stunned for a long time.
This is in the mountains where there is no village or shop nearby. Who would hide ten wheelbarrows here?
At the same time, Ding Xiaodie, who was lying in the small shack bored after drinking porridge and looking at the stars through the gaps in the trees, accidentally glanced at the space and saw a string of red words flashing on the screen: The goods have been delivered, please check.
What goods?
Ding Xiaodie was startled and sat up, lifting the branches to look outside.
Yarn, nothing!
