Chapter 45: Let's Run
"Little Four."
Lu Quan looked at Lu Shengge with some despair, his mouth moved for a long time, his throat rattled, and he didn't know what to say.
"Dad is fine."
Lu Sheige stood up and moved the low table in front of Lu Quan. He watched Lu Xiaoqing put two bowls of multi-grain rice on the low table before sitting down cross-legged. "Are you hungry, dad? If you are hungry, dad will eat. If not, just wait."
Eat again.”
Regardless of whether Lu Quan is hungry or not, she is hungry anyway.
At this moment, Lu Quan had no intention of eating. He only pricked up his ears and listened to the noise outside, his heart beating loudly and loudly.
It is self-evident who these people are looking for.
Lu Quan forced himself to pick up the bamboo chopsticks, but his hands kept shaking, so much that he couldn't even pick up the chopsticks.
"father?"
Lu Xiaoqing didn't know what Lu Quan was afraid of, but Lu Quan's emotions infected her. She yelled, and when Lu Quan ignored her, she could only sit aside with her lips pursed, looking at her father, then at Xiaosi, and then turned around.
He peeked out of the cabin.
She was not Lu Xiaoli. If she were Xiaoli, she would definitely have asked.
Lu Xiaoqing would not ask, just like more than a month ago, her father suddenly came back with a child named Xiaosi, saying that this was Xiaosi's eldest brother.
Lu Xiaoli may not remember it, and it is even less likely that Lu Xiaoyu will remember it.
But Lu Xiaoqing knew that Xiaosi was not her eldest brother.
That year, the eldest brother and the little fish were just born. The little fish was not very strong, and the eldest brother became more and more fragile. He couldn't even cry. Grandma Chen who delivered the baby held her and slapped the soles of his feet several times, and he could only do mosquitoes.
Humming normally.
He seemed to be unable to eat anything. Every day, his father used a spoon to scoop out a little bit of milk, and then used the end of the spoon to feed it into his mouth bit by bit.
As he watched, the little fish slowly changed its appearance and grew flesh visibly to the naked eye.
Only the eldest brother lay in his mother's arms day after day, even breathing seemed to be very laborious.
Dad asked a doctor, and Dr. Xie said that because the water vapor near the river was strong, the child should be raised far away from the water so that he could be raised well.
After Dr. Xie left, my mother took the initiative to discuss with my father and sent the eldest brother to his uncle's house to be raised. The uncle's house was in the town and the whole family worked for the escort agency. After the eldest brother was sent to be raised, he could learn a few kung fu from his uncle.
Physical fitness.
Lu Xiaoqing will always remember that that afternoon, her father didn’t even have lunch, so he held his eldest brother in his arms and said he would take him to his uncle’s house. She secretly followed behind and watched her father, alone, holding his infant eldest brother on the river embankment.
I staggered up and down, falling many times along the way.
But the eldest brother has always been held well in his arms and has never fallen out once.
She followed at a distance, watching her father walk for a long time, and finally stopped under a willow tree.
How long did dad stand under the willow tree that day?
Lu Xiaoqing forgot.
I only remember that the wind was very strong that day, mixed with the water vapor from the lake, and it hit people's faces painfully.
The setting sun was also very bright, reflecting half of the sky in red.
When his father walked back, his eldest brother was left under the old willow tree shrouded in the sunset.
At first, my mother would still ask, wondering how Xiaosi was doing at her uncle's house, whether she was crying or making trouble.
Later, my mother gradually stopped asking.
Until my fourth year, my mother never asked me about it.
When Xiaosi came, both his father and mother said that Xiaosi was the eldest brother and the fourth child of their Lu family.
Xiao Qing knew she was not, she was clearly a girl when she came. She saw with her own eyes that her mother washed Xiao Si's brocade-like dress and put it into a box and never took it out again.
But now, Lu Xiaoqing would rather believe that Xiaosi is her family's Xiaosi.
Regardless of whether she is a boy or a girl, she is Lu Xiaosi and no one else.
Lu Xiaoqing glanced at Lu Xiaosi, who was eating cereal rice with his head down, and remembered that when she first came here, although she was injured, she was well-raised, the kind that a family like theirs would never raise.
Now, she was sitting in this narrow cabin, eating a bowl of beans and rice very seriously.
The beans in the bean rice are all wild beans picked in autumn and winter and mixed with brown rice to make rice. There are all kinds of wild beans, red, green, white, flowery, long, round, flat...
Among these wild beans is a kind of red flower pot bean, which needs to be soaked in a pot for a long time before it can be boiled. The beans have a very strange beany smell.
Yes, it has a beany smell, Xiaosi said.
Xiaosi didn't like this kind of pinto beans very much. Every time he ate them, he frowned slightly and looked reluctant.
At this moment, he must have eaten flower pot beans, and Lu Xiaosi was chewing them with a frown on his face.
He looked at his father who looked nervous, at Xiaosi who was concentrating on eating beans and rice, and then at the noisy cabin.
Those people went into Grandma Chen's house and took a look around. They had already come out and were about to enter her boat.
Lu Xiaoqing's heart was twisted. These people weren't here to find Xiao Si, were they?
Will not.
Will not.
Xiao Si belongs to their family and is her eldest brother. These people must be looking for bad people.
"Xiao Si!"
Seeing the pavilion chief leading the two servants, talking to Uncle Lu, and walking towards her house, Lu Xiaoqing suddenly jumped up and shouted again as if he was out of control, "Xiaosi."
There was despair in her eyes, the kind of despair that threatened to lose control.
"You...just run."
After saying that, two lines of tears rushed out of my eyes.
Lu Xiaosi looked at Lu Xiaoqing in confusion and shouted in confusion: "Sister?"
Why did she want to run?
However, Lu Xiaoqing couldn't hold it back any longer. She cried loudly, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xiaosi, pushed the rice bowl in front of her carelessly, and dragged her to the stern of the boat.
Let’s go, it’s too late if you don’t go!
Lu Quan was still a little dazed at first, wondering if Doctor Xie would pick him up after he sent him to the Tutu Temple.
If Doctor Xie hadn't gone, would that person have died if he was just left in the Tutu Temple?
But what if Dr. Xie picks that man up and takes him back to the pharmacy, and is caught and accused of harboring the Hongying Army?
His mind was turned upside down. He had always been an honest and responsible person and had never done anything out of the ordinary.
Now, the pavilion chief took two policemen to Ye Pier to look for someone, and he felt uncontrollably afraid.
He was afraid that the man would die, he was also afraid that Dr. Xie would be implicated by him, and he was even more afraid that these people would know that he had saved this man.
Harboring the Hongying Army is much more serious than cooperating with bandits.
Following Lu Xiaoqing's cries, Lu Sheige was dragged to the ground by the eldest sister, and the rice bowl in front of him fell to the ground with a "snap", which shocked Lu Xiaowu into crying in his sleep.
Amidst Lu Xiaowu's cries, Lu Sheige was dragged to the ground by Lu Xiaoqing. Before she could get up, Lu Xiaoqing had already used the greatest strength in his life to drag her all the way to the stern of the ship.
The posture was like dragging her to the stern of the boat and throwing her into the water to drown her.
"Xiaoqing, are you crazy?"
Lu Quan didn't want to think too much at the moment, he rushed over, trying to pull Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Sheige away, but before he could do anything, the curtain of the cabin was lifted up.
Chapter completed!
