When Mrs. Lu saw this, her heart was frightened. Her eyes were round and her mouth was moving desperately, trying to stop drinking but unable to do so. She watched helplessly as Aunt Lu smashed her bully husband to a bloody head.

tick-

Hot and moist liquid dripped on Mrs. Lu's cheek, and the hand holding her neck was released. She was free again but still couldn't speak and coughed several times.

Accompanied by Mrs. Lu's coughing and the heart-stopping sound of banging, banging, banging, Aunt Lu crazily hit her eldest brother who bullied Mrs. Lu. She had no concept of good and evil and only knew how to protect those who were good to her.

In the darkness, the children were frightened and huddled together, no one said a word.

Lu Changle and his party were racing against death. Lu Changping had never felt that the road to Pinglehou Mansion was so far and long. He begged all the gods and Buddhas - please let my grandfather live!

The farther Lu Changle ran out, the more rain poured down on her, and the clearer her mind became.

She shouted loudly: "Brother, I can run fast. I will go to Pinglehou Mansion for help first!"

"Changle, I'll go with you!" Lu Changping said immediately.

"No, eldest brother, grandpa..."

Before Lu Changle could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Changping: "Run! Dad and third uncle will deliver grandpa safely."

Second Uncle Lu and Third Uncle Lu replied in unison: "Yes! We will definitely send your grandpa safely to Pinglehou Mansion!"

Lu Changping pulled Lu Changle and ran as fast as he could. He ran faster than ever before. He was so fast that Lu Changle couldn't catch him. He panted and said, "Brother, it turns out you run so fast!"

Lu Changping: "Changle, don't waste your energy by talking, we will run to Pinglehou Mansion in one go!"

"it is good!"

After that, Lu Changle stopped talking and was distracted, but silently gathered strength, and ran to the Pinglehou Mansion at a speed that surpassed his own. He knocked on the door and asked for help: "Master Hou, Mrs. Hou, help me! Please save me. Lord!"

The secret guards such as Jia Da and Jia Er were alerted. After making inquiries, they found that there were only the Lu brothers and sisters, and no one else. Jia Da told Jia Er: "The Marquis has just returned home, so it is not appropriate to alarm. You ask the medical girl to invite Mrs. Hou."

The doctor girl quickly invited Xu Ning out.

When Xu Ning saw the two Lu brothers and sisters who were soaked all over, they couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why are you here?"

Lu Changle knelt down, grabbed Xu Ning's clothes, sobbed and begged: "Mrs. Hou, please save my grandpa! My grandpa is suddenly seriously ill, please!"

Xu Ning made a gesture of silence: "I will let the doctor girl save your grandpa. Don't make any noise. The marquis just came back from outside and just fell asleep."

Lu Changle covered his mouth with one hand and kowtowed three times.

The same goes for Lu Changping on the side. They actually don't have much hope. After all, they are not related to Pinglehou's family, but they really have no choice but to take the risk and beg.

Xu Ning asked the doctor to take action: "Doctor, please go there."

Lu Changle lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Hou, my grandfather is already on his way to the Hou Mansion and will be there soon."

Xu Ning immediately ordered: "Jia Da Jia Er, please drive a carriage to meet us."

Jia Da and Jia Er took the order and drove a carriage to pick up Grandpa Lu.

The medical woman brought her medical kit, sat in the carriage, and carried out rescue operations as quickly as possible.

Lu Changle put her feet on her feet and looked at the way she came. After an unknown amount of time, a cup of steaming tea appeared in front of her: "Changle, take a sip of hot tea to warm yourself up. Your auspicious person has his own destiny, and he will be determined. Will be fine.”

"Thank you, Mrs. Hou!"

Lu Changle wanted to kneel down to express his thanks again, but Xu Ning held him down with two fingers: "The weather is cold and the tea will cool down quickly. Drink it quickly."

After drinking the hot tea, Lu Changle's body recovered its heat. Her mind was much clearer and she had extra energy to care about other things: "Mrs. Hou, is it because of the flood that Mr. Hou returned home so late?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yes, it rained heavily for five days in a row. No, it's the sixth day including today. It rained so much all of a sudden that the low-lying villages have been flooded. The terrain in your refugee area is high, There’s no need to worry.”

Lu Changle asked again: "Mrs. Hou, can our newly built river embankment withstand this flood?"

Xu Ning: "Our newly built river embankment can withstand it. You also personally participated in the river embankment project. The materials used are strong, durable and resistant. We are not afraid of a once-in-a-century flood. In addition to us rushing The river embankment that was built in the past few years is not of good quality and may be choked."

Lu Changle listened with worry: "I heard from my grandpa that the reason why he fled the famine and came here is precisely because the river embankment in his hometown burst, and all the good fields were washed away. My grandpa just wanted to get a chance to survive. To eat, I had no choice but to beg and wander here with my family. In the end, my grandfather was the only one left."

Xu Ning was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I heard from Lord Marquis that we might have to blow up the river embankment to release the flood."

Lu Changle blurted out in surprise and fear: "Ah? Then, what about the people in the flood discharge area? Are they just letting it go?"

Xu Ning shook his head and said: "Master Hou was so busy that he couldn't return home for three days just to persuade the people in the flood discharge area to move. I heard from Master Hou that all the people in the flood discharge area were safely moved, and those who did not cooperate were also beaten. Take it away in a coma. No matter how important your family wealth is, no matter how precious your treasure is, it is not as important as your life. If we don’t blow up the embankment to release the flood, even we will be affected by the flood. The Marquis and the Minister of Industry have no choice but to do it."

Just listening to this description, Lu Changle burst into tears: "Why is God so cruel? We ordinary people have such a difficult life, why do they torture us like this?"

She thought about her grandpa, whose life or death was uncertain, and the people in the flood discharge area. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, but she was unable to change the situation, so she covered her mouth and cried.

Xu Ning held Lu Changle's shoulders and comforted him softly: "Changle, the Marquis said that people are still here. As long as people are alive, their wealth will still be there."

Lu Changle not only did not stop crying, but cried even more sadly, just because she thought of Grandpa Lu who suddenly fell ill: if Grandpa died, she would never have an Grandpa from now on, and no amount of money could get him back. Grandpa!

Xu Ning realized that she had said something wrong, and she wanted to make amends but didn't know what to say. All the articles and poems she had read and learned were gone, and she couldn't think of a single useful word of comfort.

Seriously, you will regret less when you use the book.

Lu Changle felt extremely sad and didn't want to embarrass Xu Ning, so she turned her back and wiped her tears.

While Xu Ning was still searching for words to comfort Lu Changle, the sound of horse hooves came. Lu Changping jumped out of the carriage, knelt down and thanked Xu Ning: "Thank you, Mrs. Hou, for saving me, grandpa! Your great lord Your kindness will never be forgotten!"

After saying that, Lu Changping kowtowed several times, and tears of gratitude quickly left deep tear marks on his face.
