Chapter 229 The most impressive time
After Master Lu and his companions left, Guardian Geng slowly drew the knife from his waist. He hated such people who were treacherous and ungrateful.
"You've forgotten how Master Lu took us in. Over the years, we've been endlessly grateful to the Lu family. And what about you? I told you that if anything happened after we left, you would protect the Madam and the Young Master even at the cost of your own life. Who would have thought you would do such a despicable thing?"
The guard kneeling on the ground was shaking like a sieve, his neck half-curled with a chill, his face as pale as paper. "Brother, I swear I have no ill will towards the Lu family. It's...it's me who deserves to die. I touched Ah Mei, once, twice, and then there was no turning back. Ah Mei got pregnant, and I wanted to let her go, but..."
"Shut up, lots of excuses."
Guardian Geng held the knife to his neck and said, "Tell me, if you have anything else to say, please."
The wife and children of this security guard are all in the Lu family's team. His wife is the kind of person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. When she heard that her husband had done such a thing, she did not plead with Mrs. Lu.
Because I'm too embarrassed to ask.
Ah Mei was Madam Lu's personal maid whom she regarded as her own daughter, and the guard family was able to stay with her because of the Lu family's kindness.
So the woman said nothing, but packed up her things, took her two children and followed the Lu family team. As for the heartless man, she didn't even look back.
At this point, the guard could only cry and say, "Brother, please take into account our sworn brotherhood and take good care of my children and family. I made a mistake, but they are innocent."
"Don't worry about that. I know what's going on. Go away. You don't deserve to live in this world."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung the knife.
Without any hesitation.
Only when the head rolled into the pit, and then kicked the body into the pit and buried it under the soil, could it be considered that they had repaid the brotherhood they once had.
After doing all this, Guardian Geng caught up with the team with an expressionless face.
Mr. Lu didn't ask him how he solved the problem, but just asked him, "Is it done?"
Guardian Geng nodded: "It's done."
From then on, no one asked him about the security guard's final fate.
…
This time, everyone was much faster.
The idea that we must reach Wo County before General Minyuan withdraws his troops played a big role, as everyone wanted to save their own lives.
We have come this far, it’s not worth losing our lives.
So there was basically no time for chatting in the team, and every household was walking in silence.
Only Ding Mei was the most excited. She grinned, showing off her mouth with two missing teeth: "Dad, Mom, I really can talk now!"
Ding De hummed in agreement.
Sun felt as if she was not able to look at him from the side. It would be better if she could not speak. At least her mouth would not open so wide and the big hole on her tooth would not be exposed.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ding Mei shook her mother's arm and acted coquettishly. She had realized one thing clearly these days: since she couldn't speak, her parents had treated her younger sister Ding Xiang much better.
She thought to herself that her parents were trying to cultivate Dingxiang!
That wouldn't work. She couldn't give up the most favored position in the family.
So, as soon as he could speak, he started to use sweet words: "Mom, let me help you get more so that you won't be tired." "Mom, are your arms sore? Let me massage them for you."
Sun frowned and said, "When you meet people from now on, you have to smile with your lips pursed."
Ding Mei was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because you are missing two teeth. It's weird and ugly."
“…”
Ding Mei instinctively covered her mouth with her hand. "I've heard that dentures can be installed in the city. I wonder if there's such a doctor in Wo County."
After hearing this, Sun's eyes lit up: "It really is like this."
"Of course there are, and Wo County must be very big, even bigger than Yangliu Town. There must be a dentist there, so don't worry, mother!"
"That's great!" Sun couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, if she talks about the two daughters together, she still likes the eldest daughter Ding Mei. She is sweet-mouthed and good-looking, and most importantly, she seems to know how to deal with men by nature.
Such a girl is sensible and knows how to plan for her own future.
But Dingxiang is different. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a half-silly girl. She is always so ignorant and stupid, and she is still so young. When will the couple be able to enjoy the blessing of having a son-in-law?
Thinking of this, Sun began to like Ding Mei again.
…
It took about one-third of the distance from the Bingdong Basin to the nameless village, and then another twenty miles from the nameless village.
This was the fastest the entire team had ever walked.
Or how about sometimes it is more effective to let everyone see the facts clearly?
By the time I rested, it was already late at night and the morning star in the sky was already dimly visible.
Ding Xiaodie was so exhausted that she sat down on the ground. If she hadn't ridden a unicycle with her grandmother for a while, her thin legs wouldn't have been able to walk so far.
It's just hard for my parents. It's not easy for them to push forward this journey.
The other villagers had just received the call to rest on the spot, and they immediately threw away their belongings and lay on the ground. They were tired, their feet hurt, they were thirsty, and they were hungry. In short, they kept sighing.
Fortunately, Village Chief Lai Fu was able to hold on. He had only one wheelbarrow, and besides him, he had two sons. It was not difficult for him to push an old man and a child from the village. The difficult part was his wife, Yang. Even though she was a woman from a mountain village, it was really tiring for her feet to walk so much distance in a short time.
Lai Fu adjusted his breathing and announced, "We're still ten miles from Wo County. As long as we get into the city, our lives will be saved. Everyone, take a break and hold back the energy you just shouted out. Save your breath so you can walk."
Suddenly, the cries of pain quieted down.
The big guys were either lying or sitting, closing their eyes and waiting for the next order to set off.
It is impossible to set up the pot and cook at this time. We have to walk ten miles in one breath and cannot delay any longer.
Mr. Lu decided to distribute dried meat. After all, people would eat at least a little. Having some food in their stomach would help them lift their legs when walking.
But what about thirst?
The water source is getting less and less. When we left, we had scooped out all the water from the well of the Bangdong tribe, but there were so many people and so many mouths to feed, so now each family and each person can only get two sips of water.
How is the water divided?
Use a rolled-up leaf and fold it into the shape of a small spiral tube. Hold it gently with two fingers. Each person has one leaf, no more.
Some people started crying when they got the water, sobbing and not daring to make a sound.
This little bit of water can't quench your thirst, it's just enough to moisten your throat.
Not to mention that some adults were reluctant to drink the water they received and gave it all to the children. What should they do? They could just dip their fingers in it and wipe their lips. Anyway, they could live one day at a time!
