Chapter 189 White Lotus
Ding Gui felt that the other party was not joking. Although he had fought and quarreled with Ding Rong before, and the original owner had been beaten by him many times when he was in the village, after all, several lives were involved.
If we turn back to Aozigou at this time, let alone how we will live after arriving in Aozigou, it is very likely that our safety along the way cannot be guaranteed.
If those desert soldiers retreat, where will they retreat to?
Going west, you will reach Wo County.
If it's heading north, isn't that exactly the direction they came from?
"Brother, think about this carefully. Don't worry. Tomorrow morning, I'll go with you to find Master Lu. He's traveled a lot and has a lot of experience. Let's go and get his advice, okay?"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him at all, Ding Gui had to use Master Lu to stop him.
Ding Rong did not agree, he had his own ideas.
In fact, his mind had changed since he abandoned the old woman that night.
He abandoned his mother in order to put the blame on his own brother, but when they suddenly stopped moving at the city gate for two hours, Ding Rong vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen something different.
It was not his eyes that saw it, but his heart. Combining all the things that had happened during this period of time, he told himself sincerely that it was true that there was a god above our heads.
God sees everything you do.
Everything is in the cycle of cause and effect, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
For example, his family and the third brother's family. When everything was going well for his family, Ding Rong never treated the third brother as a human being. Who would have thought that everything would suddenly turn around now, and the third brother's family would become more and more prosperous, but what about his family?
Little Ding Hao is stupid, Ding Xue is not appreciated by the eldest son of the Lu family, and his son Ding Shan is a dull person who can't do anything well.
And Ding Rong also wilted!
Isn’t this retribution?
Especially during those two hours when they couldn't move, Ding Rong kept wondering what kind of power made the three of them unable to move. It must be a god, yes, it must be.
This matter has always been buried in his heart. He dared not tell anyone and was only afraid and in awe.
So he finally made up his mind to return to Aozigou. He wanted to go back to guard his ancestral grave and atone for his sins.
“Brother…”
"Third brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I came to you today just to tell you that from now on, Mom will rely on you two. Second brother... is unreliable."
Ding Rong interrupted Ding Gui before he could say anything else, then stood up and walked out.
He is very firm in his ideas and no one can shake them.
No one expected that at this moment the old woman would suddenly say, "Boss, don't you want your mother anymore?"
Everyone: “…”
The old woman had been confused for quite some time, and at this moment she suddenly blurted out such a sentence, which made everyone a little confused.
Ding Rong's steps were stopped, and he turned around in surprise: "Mom?"
"Big brother, you can't leave. You're the eldest brother of the Ding family. You can't just hand me over to the third brother and be done with it. You have to take care of me, okay?" The old woman stood up and walked over to Ding Rong, tightly grasping his hand. "Don't ever talk about leaving again, or I won't forgive you."
Ding Rong was stunned: "..."
He couldn't help but look at Ding Gui, but even Ding Gui himself was confused. The fact that the old woman could say this showed that she was not confused!
But just when everyone was about to ask her if she remembered what happened before, the old woman turned around and went to coax her gray rabbit.
Ding Rong's expression returned to its dull state and he turned and left.
Seeing that no amount of persuasion was of any use, Ding Gui and his wife did not chase after him anymore, but just looked at each other.
Ding Xiaodie, who was also in shock, tilted her head and observed the old woman carefully: "Grandma, are you real or fake?"
If she was pretending to be confused, that would be troublesome. During this period of time, she took out some food from time to time. Not to mention other snacks, the rice she cooked in the past few days was a bit unreasonable. If the old woman was pretending, then she herself would be confused about where the rice came from, right?
Ding Gui and his wife also thought of this, but after careful observation, they couldn't tell that it was fake.
The old woman even asked, "What's real and what's fake?"
The three members of the Ding family: "..."
…
The fact that Ding Rong was leaving the team was like dropping a bomb. Although they hadn't left yet, it was still weighing on their minds.
The next day, Ding Gui found an opportunity and told the village chief Lai Fu about this matter.
Of course, they talked about this kind of thing in secret and couldn't let anyone know. The team had just finally settled down, and if others knew about it, it would cause chaos in the army.
The two stood at one end of the cool valley, looking at the field where there were no vegetables anymore. The women drove all the live animals there to gnaw on the dry grass. The days ahead seemed as hopeful as they were in the village, and the voices of the women's laughter could be heard faintly.
"Look at us now, it's so good, we have food and shelter, and Master Lu is reassuring us. I think Boss Ding is just bored and is deliberately causing trouble for us."
Village chief Lai Fu was chewing a branch in his mouth. They had been fleeing famine for too long, and the men had long since finished smoking all the dry tobacco they had on them, but they always felt something was missing without something in their mouths.
Ding Gui sighed, "My eldest brother doesn't seem to be joking. He's been looking very worried lately. Maybe he's figured something out. Anyway, please keep an eye on him. If you see him or his family trying to leave, be sure to stop them."
Lai Fu said, "Boss Ding is also a tough guy. How can we stop him if he really wants to leave?"
Ding Gui looked back at the row houses and said, "Find a few reliable people in the village. We have to stop him even if we have to tie him up."
“…”
Fortunately, because the team has not started to advance yet, Ding Rong's side also remains on hold for the time being.
Ding Guichou had no choice but to go on with his life as usual.
But Ding Xiaodie wasn't so lucky. On her way to find Dabao, she was stopped by Ding Xue: "Why did my father go to your house when it was dark yesterday?"
Ding Xiaodie was stunned.
It seems that Ding Rong's idea of moving his family back to Aozigou was just his own, and Ding Xue and the others were not aware of it?
If that's the case, then this matter shouldn't come out of her mouth.
If she knew how Yu Dingxue behaved, she would definitely make a fuss, and then everyone in the village would know about it.
So Ding Xiaodie could only ignore her; "Get out of the way and ask your father."
"You... Ding Xiaodie."
Ding Xue gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. She had been very busy these days, observing the interactions between Ding Xiaodie and Lu Chenhe. Yesterday, she even saw the two young masters of the Lu family go to Ding Xiaodie's house, which made her so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.
At this time, Ding Xiaodie had no time to pay attention to her and just wanted to leave quickly.
But she had taken a few steps when she heard Ding Xue cry out from behind her, and then she said delicately, "Master, Xiaodie pushed me."
