Only bandits would hide and ambush them.
Of course, there was also another method, which was to ambush and kill the killers.
After such an arduous journey, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't wish to be the second type at all.
"About bandits." Lin Mo looked in the direction Chen Ergou pointed out, and only after a long while did he say, "However, we are not the ambushers."
After a pause, he said, "Of course, if we want to go over, we also have our share."
Nonsense, who would try to get involved in this sort of thing? It's not like he was full.
"Then should we inform the ambushed people?" Madam Li asked.
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on Madam Li. Once again, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu felt that the heart of the Madam Li's Holy Mother made her feel terrible.
He was determined to take into account the affairs of others, regardless of whether he could take it or not.
They had so many people on their side. Originally, the bandits did not intend to ambush them, but now that the Madam Li was making a ruckus, they guessed that they would become the target of someone else.
"Mom, let's take care of ourselves first." Lu Jinfeng could not bear to watch any longer, and reminded himself of this.
"That's right, we didn't even take care of ourselves. If we attract the attention of those bandits, we would be in trouble." Chen Ergou also agreed.
"However, as a person, you can't live life without conscience." The Madam Li sighed, "It's fine if we don't meet, but since we do, how can we just stand by and do nothing? If we leave like this, we will never be at ease for the rest of our lives. "
"Then if someone died because of meddling in other people's business, Aunt, are you at ease?" However, Xiao Mao was able to calmly say the words that were known as children's words and not adults' words.
Madam Li choked and said hesitantly: "It's not that they don't want to die, we're just giving them a reminder."
"Breaking off one's path of wealth and harming others' businesses naturally means that one will be met with retaliation. If we help others block this calamity, then the rest of the calamity will be ours." Lin Mo was a little dissatisfied, "Madam Li, haven't we been living a peaceful life recently?"
Madam Li pursed his lips: "I didn't mean it that way, but since we have met, we should leave just like that.
Could it be that in the Madam Li's heart, a stranger's life was higher than theirs?
It's not impossible to meddle in other people's business, but it depends on the timing and your ability.
If someone fell into the water, then even if he didn't fall into the water, the result would be both of them dying.
However, although everyone understood this logic, they could not convince the Madam Li.
Lu Jinfeng's face darkened: "Mother, we have already provoked enough trouble, so we should keep a low profile."
"No, we can't just sit back and do nothing." In the end, the Madam Li still succeeded in interpreting how the word 'white lotus' was written. She got off the carriage and said, "If you guys are not willing to help, then I'll go over myself."
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to look at Lu Jinfeng.
It was their son's responsibility to have a mother that they could not understand. They could not control Madam Li, and could only watch as Lu Jinfeng exhorted them.
Lu Jinfeng frowned: "Mother, are you only happy when we're all dead?"
"I'll go over myself. Just be careful, it won't implicate you." Madam Li seemed to be in a bad mood as he said, "You guys are afraid, but I'm not."
Damn, there was actually such a stubborn white lotus!
Chen Mu's lungs were about to burst from rage as he turned his head away, his eyes not seeing anything.
Some people wanted to court death, but she couldn't stop them. She couldn't care less and couldn't be bothered to interfere either.
"Mother!" Lu Jinfeng felt a headache and said, "You weren't so stubborn in the past."
Their safety could not compare to that of strangers!
Although he was selfish, not many people would give up their lives to serve a tiger.
"That was before." Madam Li sighed deeply, "You guys have changed. If you saw someone injured in the past, you would have stepped forward to help him. But now, when you saw someone robbed or even killed, you all remained indifferent. With so many of us, are we really afraid of those bandits? "
Chen Mu Mu could not bear to watch as he walked behind Lin Mo. Suddenly, he felt that even Lin Mo, this hateful person, seemed to be cuter than the Madam Li.
When Lin Mo saw Chen Mu Mu's actions, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his eyes went deep for a second.
Madam Li was still pretending, but the women started to cause trouble, so how could a man be her opponent?
As a result, Madam Li broke free from Lu Jinfeng's control and walked towards the mountain range.
"Mother!" Lu Jinfeng was furious, but he could not just watch as his mother took the risk. He had no choice but to chase after her, planning to use force to capture Madam Li.
Regardless of whether it was the Madam Li or who they were, he did not want to lose a single one of them.
"Let her go!" Lin Mo suddenly opened his mouth and stopped Lu Jinfeng in his tracks.
"Master?" Lu Jinfeng looked at Lin Mo in disbelief, "She's my mother."
How could he watch Madam Li take the risk? Or, let her destroy them all?
"If she is allowed to go, there will always be some people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. They should be taught a lesson." Lin Mo said. Looking at Madam Li's figure that did not turn around, he said in a silent voice, "All of you wait here. I'll go take a look."
"I'll go." Ning Yuan said, "My qinggong is better, it's easier to escape, you guys stay here and guard."
"Your martial arts are not as good as mine." Lin Mo insisted, "Madam Li is probably not something you can persuade."
"Let Master Lin go." Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes narrowed as he said with a smile that was not a smile, "I believe with Master Lin's abilities, he will definitely be able to bring Mother back safely."
Safe and sound? Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Girl, aren't you afraid that I'll fall for it if you put on such a tall hat for me?"
"Are you going or not?" Not wasting any time with him, Chen Mu Mu asked.
"Let's go." Lin Mo looked at her angrily, then chased after Madam Li.
"I'll go help." Lu Jinfeng was a little worried and wanted to follow along, but was stopped by Chen Mu, "You stay."
"Lin Mo alone is enough." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "He is a cunning person, he wouldn't let himself suffer such a miserable fate. If he dares to go, he will definitely dare to return."
Lu Jinfeng was surprised: "Why are you so sure?"
"Because the person who went up the tree just now was him." Chen Mu laughed and said, "Standing at the top of the mountain and looking further ahead, Lin Mo is clearer than all of us on the situation of those so called bandits."
"Even so, I'm still uneasy." Lu Jinfeng said, "Something is very wrong with mother today."
"It's more than that, she's been acting weird the entire way." Chen Mu Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng with a deeper meaning, "Your mother has more secrets than all of us."
"My mother is just an ordinary village woman, what secrets could she possibly have?" Lu Jinfeng looked away.
"All you know is that you don't want to admit it." Chen Mu laughed, "When something abnormal happens, there must be a demon, waiting to see a show. When Lin Mo comes back, he will give us an explanation."
A thought flashed across Lu Jinfeng's mind, he looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu in shock: "You're saying?"
"Maybe your mother purposely avoided us." Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
Being with the Madam Li for so long, she at least knew what kind of person the Madam Li was. Although she was a special type of teammate and was timid, she would never take risks when it came to matters concerning her own life and Lu Jinfeng's.
But today, Lu Jinfeng had said that if she were to do that, it might cause their entire group to die.
Madam Li must have had her own plans. Just now, she was so angry at Madam Li that she didn't even think about it, and felt that something was wrong when she saw Lin Mo's reaction.
"She's my mother." Lu Jinfeng looked at her, his eyes surging with emotions. "But it seems that even I don't understand her now."
He had thought that she was just a very ordinary village woman. He had thought that she was the most pure and good-natured of them all. He had thought that she was the only one who would not make him worry.
But from the looks of it now, it might not be so.
Even he could not understand the current Madam Li.
"You're not her, after all." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "You still won't understand what she wants. But I don't think that under any circumstances, she will ever hurt you." Chen Mu Mu raised his head and looked at the boundless sky and the mottled sunlight shining down from the leaves in the forest. "There's no need for a person to know everything. It's enough to know that she won't harm you."
"She's my mother." Lu Jinfeng sighed as he slowly closed his eyes.
As a mother and son, yet they were estranged to this extent. Was he still a close relative?
Chen Mu Mu didn't try to console him. Instead, he closed his eyes and waited patiently for the time to pass.
Ning Yuan and Chen Ergou looked at each other and leaned against the big tree as they sat down.
Xiao Mao was a sensitive child. Although he was young, his brain worked very quickly. Seeing that no one spoke, he also stayed beside Chen Mu Mu and did not speak.
Time flew by silently. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Chen Ergou could not hold back his loneliness as he climbed up the tree top to look into the distance. "Strange, there was a crowd of people moving just now, why is there not even a shadow of them now?"
Chen Mu Mu opened his eyes, a strange look flashing past his eyes, "Lu Jinfeng, did your mother elope with your master?"
"What's there to elope for?" Knowing that she was spiteful, Lu Jinfeng did not answer her, but only said, "My master and mother, one not married, the other widowed. If the two of them are interested, I will raise my hands and feet in approval for them to be together.
Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere was different. Opening his eyes, he just so happened to see Lin Mo holding onto Madam Li and walking over to him with a limp.
Four eyes met, the Madam Li was anxious and angry, he scolded with a flushed face: "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Master Lin is an honest man, how would you have a relationship with me? Don't talk nonsense, it makes everyone uncomfortable."
It was fine if the Madam Li was not so anxious, but if he was, it would make people feel that the place was completely empty, as if the two of them were having an affair.
Auntie, you're blushing." Little Mao was even more adept at discrediting others, jeering blindly.
Madam Li's face was originally slightly flushed, but after hearing Xiao Mao's words, her face turned completely red. She quickly struggled free from Lin Mo's support and said: "Master Lin, I can walk by myself."
Since Madam Li wanted to avoid suspicion, as a man, Lin Mo didn't hesitate and let her go on the spot.
Madam Li was already unsteady from the start, so the moment Lin Mo let go of her hand, she would fall to the ground silently.
"Sigh." There were so many stones on the ground that Madam Li almost cried in pain.
"Sorry, big sis, you told me to let go." Lin Mo's face was full of self-blame, and he hurriedly helped Madam Li up.
The crowd found it funny when they saw the two of them like this. However, before they could finish laughing, they were stunned by the person behind the two of them.
They should be a mother and daughter, the older one in his thirties, the younger one not more than nine or ten years old.
The elderly woman wore gorgeous and elegant clothing. Although she was old, one could still see the beauty of her youth.
The little girl was carved from jade, and at first glance, she looked like an exquisite doll.
Where did these two nobles come from in this wilderness?
