When the old woman saw that he finally stopped, she turned her head and didn't look at him.
Village head Zhang is also embarrassed by his mother-in-law. The visitors are guests. There's no reason why the guests can't eat enough. He quickly beckons Lu Beiyou to eat more.
As soon as the old woman heard it, the eyes that could kill people fell on Lu Beiyou again. He just felt that his cold sweat was coming out. "No, thank you, Mr. Zhang. I'm full."
"Hum, if you don't have enough, you'll go to the pigsty to find food for you." The old woman secretly scolded him for eating like a pig. Lu Beiyou was also a young man. He was extremely thin skinned and flushed.
Zhang village head a see, feel from the man's dignity was provoked, sternly told her to shut up.
Lu Beiyou is about to start a family war because of him. He quickly gets up and goes back to his room.
He thought, before leaving tomorrow, give back the silver of the potatoes and sweet potatoes he ate tonight to village head Zhang.
Having enough to eat and drink, Lu Beiyou also has warm bedclothes and goes to bed quickly.
Lu Beiyou fell asleep, but the two old people in the living room couldn't sleep. As soon as Lu Beiyou left, several old people came to the village head Zhang's house, bowed their heads and said something in his ear. After hearing this, village head Zhang's face changed.
"Nonsense, it's simple nonsense." Village head Zhang was very angry.
The old woman didn't dare to say anything, but she was also ambivalent.
"But village head, we don't want to do this either. You see, it rains year after year, and we have no harvest. If it goes on like this, we will starve to death." Old man song, with a little black hair in his white hair, said that his eyes would be red. "We have to wait for the children to come home."
At the mention of the children, the old people's eyes changed and their faces were full of grief and indignation. For a long time, no one spoke.
"Alas." Village head Zhang sighed again. "Then do it, but don't hurt others. We are all good children." If there had been no accident, his son would have been older than Lu Beiyou.
"Well, we know." With the consent of village head Zhang, the old man also left.
"Old man, I know you don't want to, but we have no way. We have no way." The old woman comforted. Their last food is the sweet potatoes that Lu Beiyou just ate.
They have been raining here for years, but they have no harvest. The imperial court has no help. They are starving to death in the village. Unexpectedly, they have sent Lu Beiyou to their home.
As soon as they saw Lu Beiyou, they knew that he was a young master who was rich but expensive. Even Gu Man'er had a Kyoto accent. Village head Zhang had been to Kyoto when he was young, so they knew that Gu Man'er was not a simple life experience.
But they have no choice.
Maybe the bed is too comfortable, maybe the food is too satisfied, Lu Beiyou sleeps a little deeply. When he is sober, he hears Gu Man'er's call and pulls him out of his dream.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a room full of old people with white hair. He was so scared that he subconsciously covered the quilt tightly, and his consciousness was gradually awake. When he saw the old man Li Abe who was scared by him and Gu Man'er last night, he saw guilt and apology in Li Abe's eyes.
What's going on?
Several old people saw that he was sober and put him up without ambiguity. Lu Beiyou couldn't figure out what they meant, but when he saw the rope, he was really shocked.
"Why, what are you doing?" He resisted, but in the face of a group of helpless old people, Lu Beiyou didn't dare to work too hard. How could he see the apology in the eyes of these old people.
After a while, Gu Man'er was sent to Lu Beiyou's bed with his hands tied. They looked at each other and said nothing.
What's the situation! Lu Beiyou's eyes moved.
Gu Man'er shakes her head, and she doesn't know. But they didn't mean anything. It was true. They didn't hurt her when they tied her. The rope was loose.
In order to find out what happened, Gu Man'er chose to be tied up temporarily.
People have been tied up, a group of old people, you look at me, I look at you, as if I don't know what to do, finally pushed village head Zhang out of the back of the house to preside over.
Village head Zhang was pushed out. In front of him were two innocent children who were tied up. They looked at him with clear eyes and full of hope. Behind them were a group of villagers who had no way out in the face of despair. They were also innocent.
Village head Zhang only hates his incompetence and can't give the villagers a good life. He wants them to be old and lose face.
If they don't, they will starve to death. He can only be sorry for the two children.
"We won't hurt you. We just want something valuable on you."
Lu Beiyou is a little confused. Have they been robbed by a group of old people? He got the truth from Gu Man'er's eyes. Yes, they were tied up and robbed by the old people who were polite last night.
"We are helpless, too." Village head Zhang was in tears. "We are all old, but if we don't rob you, we will starve to death!" They are all old and should have enjoyed their old age, but they have to do this shameful and unconscionable collusion. Several old people present feel miserable and their eyes are going to cry.no Lu Beiyou was a little confused. The people who robbed them didn't feel miserable yet, but the people who robbed them started to cry.
Village head Zhang explained to him that because they had no grain for a whole year, the big guy's family had almost eaten up all the food, but they didn't wait for the relief from the imperial court, but the county didn't care much about them. They had to wait here to die.
Fortunately, the arrival of Lu Beiyou gave them hope. They just wanted to exchange valuable things for food to tide over the difficulties.
Lu Beiyou also understood that they had no choice but to kidnap and rob. He was not a ruthless person.
I saw his hands move, a loud noise, adult arm thick rope should be broken, scared a group of still feel miserable for their own old people.
Village head Zhang was frightened and his eyes were wide open. In his panic eyes, Lu Beiyou reached out and took out a silver note from his arms. It was given to him by mu Qiuqiu before he started. He handed one or two silver notes to village head Zhang.
"It's not easy for you. Take these to buy food. It's our accommodation here and the food we ate last night." Lu Beiyou is very generous. Seeing that village head Zhang is dull, he doesn't accept the bank note. He puts the bank note into his arms.
They are all kind-hearted old people. Although kidnapping and robbing are bad behaviors, they don't mean to hurt them from the beginning to the end. They are all polite.
Lu Beiyou thinks that his action of giving the bank note is really handsome. Then he looks back at Gu Man'er and wants to see the worship in her eyes. But Gu Man'er's eyes are calm and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
