Chapter 68 Empathy
Soon, Mr. Lu took Lu Chenhe on the road.
The ten guards of the Lu family walked on both sides of the team, and in the middle was a group of desert soldiers linked together with iron chains.
Every time they took a step, the iron chains on their feet made a clanging sound.
When the team walked to this street, the desert soldiers made all kinds of fierce expressions to the villagers who were watching the fun.
Some children were so scared that they cried!
The family members hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Master Lu wants to take them away and behead them. He's so cruel. Why is he so cruel?"
"Master Lu, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"Master Lu, you must tell the emperor that these desert people who invaded our country must not be allowed to stay. They must all be beheaded."
Lu Yan sat on a tall black horse with a serious expression. He clasped his fists towards the villagers and remained silent.
Lu Chenhe sat on a tall white horse with a slight smile on his lips, his hand on the sword at his waist, and he had already begun to show his handsome and heroic appearance.
His dark eyes caught sight of the little dot in the crowd, and he immediately smiled and waved at her.
Ding Xiaodie quickly raised her little arm and waved at him, with a sweet smile in her eyes, and silently said in her heart, "You must take care of yourself, young master."
"Master Lu!"
At this moment, the village chief Lai Fu rushed out from the crowd with a long shout.
He held two bowls filled with water in his hands and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Master Lu, you have great ambitions, serve the country and the people, and you are willing to give us food to save our lives. You are a hero in the hearts of the villagers of Aozi Village. Before you leave, please accept my greetings on behalf of the villagers."
Mr. Lu was slightly startled and quickly got off his horse.
Lu Chenhe followed closely behind.
The father and son helped Village Chief Lai Fu up and took the two bowls of water in a rather tragic manner.
Lai Fu said in a long voice, "Master Lu has done so much for us, yet the villagers of Aozi Village can only offer wine with water. We are truly ashamed. But please rest assured, Master Lu, while you and your son are performing such heroic deeds, all of us villagers of Aozi Village solemnly swear to do our utmost to protect the Lu family, young and old, in return for your kindness."
Lai Fu's words instantly touched the most fragile nerves in the villagers' hearts, and some women were already wiping away their tears silently.
Everyone knows how dangerous this journey is.
It is true that Mr. Lu gave everyone a mouthful of nourishment, but isn’t he the benefactor of the villagers of Aozi Village?
Seeing that the Lu father and son were also quite moved, Ding Xiaodie winked at her father and said, "Go, it's almost time."
So Ding Gui also rushed forward crying out in grief.
"We have an elderly mother and a frail little daughter. If it weren't for Mr. Lu's kindness, how could my mother and daughter survive? Mr. Lu, you are our family's great benefactor. I, Ding Gui, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Seeing that her father's performance got full marks, Ding Xiaodie supported her grandmother, with her mother Zhang Xiu beside her, and the whole family rushed out and knelt on the ground.
"Master Lu must return safely."
"Master Lu, you are our great benefactor."
Seeing the actions of this family, the people's empathy instantly reached its peak, and all the villagers knelt down. Although some people had ulterior motives, but...
Mr. Lu and Lu Chenhe were deeply moved by the scene before them.
The father and son looked at each other, raised their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
"I, Lu, swear hereby that after sending these thieves back, I will do my utmost to help the villagers of Aozigou find a way to have enough food and clothing. We will overcome natural disasters and man-made disasters together."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." The villagers kowtowed deeply.
Their hearts finally settled down, and they finally had hope for the future!
Lu Chenhe personally stepped forward to help Ding Xiaodie up, wiped her tears, and pinched her nose: "Don't cry, wait for me to bring you something delicious and fun."
"Uh-huh!"
Ding Xiaodie looked cute and nodded.
Watching the father and son leading the team away, Ding Xiaodie secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she looked back and could still see some women wiping their tears.
Time goes back to an hour ago.
When Lu Chenhe and his brother came to say goodbye to Ding Xiaodie, her heart was in her throat.
Just as she thought, what she could think of could also be thought of by others. In the end, Ding Xiaodie hurriedly called her parents into the house and brought up the matter: "Miao Daxing and his gang originally wanted to cause trouble, but they haven't dared to act yet. It's entirely because they are afraid of Master Lu. But Master Lu's farewell reminder today was obviously not enough. No one can predict what Miao Daxing will do after Master Lu and his gang leave. Now, in the eyes of those people, the Lu family is a huge piece of fat meat."
"That's for sure. It can be seen that Miao Daxing is just waiting for an opportunity." Ding Gui was also worried.
Now that most of the Lu family's guards have left, the only male members left in the family are the Second Young Master and Uncle Nine. What can they do? If Miao Daxing and the others force their way in, it will be the end of them.
This group of people have been driven crazy, and now Yangliu Town is in a state of no government. Even if they kill people, they can't do anything to him.
Although Zhang Xiu didn't say anything, he felt scared just thinking about it.
"How about we go and discuss it with Mr. Lu?" She clenched her fists nervously.
Ding Xiaodie shook her head. "I've thought about it. This won't work. If we go to Mr. Lu to discuss this, it will only disrupt his determination to go. Those desert soldiers must be sent out. Keeping them here is undoubtedly a time bomb."
"What should we do?" Ding Gui couldn't think of a good solution!
“Use empathy.”
"What?"
Ding Xiaodie looked at her parents seriously and told them her plan: "The only thing we need to do is to arouse everyone's empathy. That is, to let those people with bad intentions know that the Lu family is not to be trifled with, and to let Master Lu and his family go with peace of mind."
In order to influence everyone, you don’t need many people.
Based on the plot of the TV series, it is enough to have a few characters that can arouse everyone's empathy.
So the person Ding Xiaodie chose was the village chief Lai Fu, because he was the most reliable and he was also the one who was least willing to hurt the Lu family.
Then convince Wang Dafeng, and their family of three will be enough!
Of course, when talking to Wang Dafeng, he had to tell half the truth and half lies. Why did he go out to thank Mr. Lu? First, he really saved them; second, he wanted to let those ungrateful people in the village know that Mr. Lu was a life-saving benefactor and they should not eat for free.
After hearing this, Wang Dafeng agreed without objection, but she didn't think too much about it. She just thought that she must not let the villagers be ungrateful. It would be a dream if they wanted to eat for free.
Why?
Because she felt that the Lu family would become relatives of her family sooner or later, so she would definitely help to get back this great favor.
After having this idea, Wang Dafeng cried the most seriously and her performance was very good!
