Shi Kai brought Wang Erya into their team, but Shi Lin and Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything.
But after this incident, both of them felt a little heavy-hearted, thinking back to when the disaster struck, there was no help from each other.
Instead, they pushed and trampled on each other, and everyone was only concerned about escaping for their own lives, with no regard for the lives of others, including their closest relatives.
Both of them couldn't help but recall what Xiao Ling'er said when she left:
"It's fine if there's no interest involved, but if your presence affects their interests or threatens their lives, do you think they will still share life and death with you?"
"Human nature is really as Sister Ling said, it is the thing that cannot stand the test of time." Shi Kai suddenly said self-deprecatingly.
"Yes, haven't we seen through it a long time ago and experienced the taste of betrayal firsthand?" Lu Xingzhi also responded with self-deprecating smile.
"Let's go our separate ways tomorrow!" Shi Lin turned his head and looked at Lu Xingzhi firmly and said.
"It should have been done long ago!" Lu Xingzhi replied with a smile, and then added: "If we speed up, maybe we can catch up with Sister Ling and the others."
"Are you so sure that they are still safe?" Shi Lin asked.
"I'm sure they are safe and sound!" Lu Xingzhi answered affirmatively.
“…”
Xiao Ling'er and her son were indeed safe and sound, but they were also affected. Many roads were blocked and they had to take a detour.
Moreover, the aftershocks caused by the volcanic eruption occurred from time to time, which made the mother and her two children afraid to go into the mountains, and they could only rest on the roadside during the day.
Fortunately, there were not many refugees on the road, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the mother and her children to eat.
A few more difficult days passed like this, and after passing three forks in the road, the number of refugees on the road gradually increased.
That morning, a mother and her two children were forced to stop as the road ahead was blocked by a long line of people.
Three luxurious carriages were parked in the middle of the road, and outside the carriages stood several servants and maids in uniform.
There were two long teams lined up on both sides of the carriage. They were also wearing uniform clothes, and each of them had a long sword on his waist.
Judging from their demeanor and the way they were dressed, they should be fighters or bodyguards who know some Kung Fu.
In the middle, closely guarded by these guards, were twelve wooden carts, forming a long row that occupied almost the entire fifty-meter length of the road.
The carts were full of items. Three of them had a heavy wooden box on each, the other five were piled with bulging sacks, and the remaining four carts had a mixed bag of items, including daily necessities and some food.
After some observation, Xiao Ling'er guessed in her heart that if the TV drama was not deceiving, then the wooden boxes must contain either gold and silver or jewelry.
As for the sacks, anyone who is not a fool can tell at a glance that they are filled with food.
Xiao Linger admired this team very much. During the troubled times, they dared to display their equipment in the open while fleeing from famine. Weren't they afraid that bandits would rob them?
What gave them the confidence? Was it the over one hundred guards?
Could it be that they are highly skilled in martial arts and can defeat a hundred enemies at once like the Gu family army?
Otherwise, if the bandits come, these one hundred guards will not be enough.
Xiao Ling'er turned her gaze towards the carriages and found three carriages. Two of them had curtains tightly closed, and only the curtain of the last one was open.
Sitting in the carriage was a slightly plump woman who looked to be in her thirties, dressed in silk and satin and covered in jewels.
She was looking at a certain place with a smug look on her face. Xiao Ling'er followed her gaze and looked over there. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
