Chapter 116 Everyone is Important
"Ziyuan, you're welcome. Your second brother and I were brothers who went through thick and thin together. Now that your second brother is gone, I will do my best to take good care of you."
Xiao Ji patted his chest and promised that he had been an upright person since he was a child. He could sacrifice his life for justice and would also stand by his friends.
Besides, he only used the power in his hands to restrain his subordinates from doing dirty things with Ziyuan's wife. It was really a trivial matter.
But a general's recognition is the greatest favor to the exiled criminal, and it also makes him more confident.
"With Brother Xiao taking care of my mother, sister-in-law and nephew, Ziyuan will die without regrets." Huo Ziyuan said with a smile.
"Ziyuan, don't talk about life and death, you will get better." He really didn't expect that a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun would have this side of him.
Song Zhu returned to the Huo family's temporary cabin in a rage, and saw Xiao Ji gently patting Huo Ziyuan's shoulder with a sincere smile.
The winter sun shone on him, as if giving him a layer of golden glow, and her cheap husband was also smiling.
Her mood also improved a lot after her verbal battle with Zuo Kexin just now.
Her mood became particularly gloomy, like the sky covered by dark clouds.
It was obvious that when they were in Mojia Village, they shared the same hatred and fought against Lu Zhitao together. They were as close as sisters.
Now that Lu Zhitao is no longer by their side, their friendship could easily fall apart!
Before meeting General Xiao Ji, Zuo Kexin actually wanted to snatch her lame husband from her.
After meeting Xiao Ji, Song Zhuxin planned to use her husband's money to pursue Xiao Ji, but she didn't know that the village girl also set her sights on Xiao Ji!
His words were full of sarcasm and provocation, saying that she was a married woman. So what if she was a married woman? In modern times, there are many women who have been divorced several times.
The fierce quarrel between them made the surrounding soldiers look sideways.
Song Zhuxin's unhappiness surged like a tide, impacting her rationality, and she wanted to slap the other person a few times.
Unfortunately, Zuo Kexin was good at martial arts, so she didn't dare to fight with her, which made Song Zhuxin's pent-up anger more and more intense.
Finally she was so angry that she turned around and left, but when she came back she saw Xiao Ji smiling very handsomely.
"My husband and General Xiao are still talking. I'll go get you a glass of water." Song Zhuxin said in a coquettish voice.
Seeing her come back, Huo Ziyuan couldn't help but stop smiling, as if a blooming flower was hit by a sudden cold wind and instantly lost its color.
The anger in Huo Ziyuan's heart was like surging waves, piling up layer upon layer, almost drowning him.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Xin'er, I'm not thirsty, you go into the house first!"
"Husband~ You're not thirsty, it's General Xiao who is thirsty. You two continue chatting while I go get some water."
"Thank you, Madam Huo San. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he had already walked a long way away.
In Mojia Village, the elders and everyone already knew that the village chief was going to pick someone out of the village to lure away the spies at the village entrance.
Their small village hidden deep in the mountains is surrounded by steep cliffs and tall trees.
In addition to the Mohist mechanical techniques, no one in Nanzhao can break them for the time being, but there are always exceptions, so the elders dare not gamble.
They discussed for several days about whether to stay or go. They never dreamed that the village chief would let all the old people stay.
"Among you young people, only Le Qing has ever gone out, and now you don't allow us old guys to follow you. How can I feel at ease?"
"Yes, Brother Ning is right. Besides, Le Qing is seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet."
"Did it happen that we argued so much that the young master got angry and gave up on us?"
"My uncles, you're overthinking it. I've been planning to venture out and explore the world for a long time, but now the time is right."
"Young Master..."
"Uncle Zuo, don't worry about me. Tao'er is by my side, so you can rest assured. I think I will protect her well."
"Village Chief, it's been half a month since you got married. Your wife might be pregnant..."
"..." Lu Zhitao, who was pulled in to listen in, they just slept together last night!
She was about to say something when she heard Mo Lengzhou say, "So I plan to take Yuan Zhen with me."
"Leng Zhou, let's take Yuan Zhen away. If Uncle Ning and the others are not well..."
"Ma'am, please rest assured. We will take good care of ourselves and will never let ourselves get sick."
"Yes, yes. Besides, Yumei has studied with Yuanzhen for many years. Although her medical skills are not as high as his, she still knows some basic medical skills. Yuanzhen will go with you!"
The elders were originally protesting against the young master not taking them with him, but now that the topic came up with the safety of the young master, they ignored everything.
Seeing this, Lu Zhitao didn't intend to clarify. "It's not easy for outsiders to enter the village. We plan to leave the village in a few days."
"Tao'er is right. If we go out and lead the people outside away, the village will be safe, so you don't have to worry.
All the brothers who have wives and children should stay in the village and grow crops well. You are our strong support.
If one day we don’t make it out there, we can still have food to eat when we come back, so those who stay are more important.”
Mo Lengzhou said slowly that the words he said at this moment were all secretly taught to him by Lu Zhitao. With his personality, he really didn't want to be so sentimental.
Mo Lengzhou's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then several elders straightened their hunched backs, and instantly felt that they were also very important.
Zuo Yuyi, who has a wife and children, also felt a complicated emotion in his heart. It turned out that Leng Zhou did not want to give up on him.
He was his master, and he had known it since he was old enough to understand, because his father would tell him dozens of times a day.
Later he married the most outstanding girl in the village, and she was recognized as the young lady. Although it was not their fault, he still felt a little guilty.
"Master, you can go ahead and explore without worry. Yumei and I will definitely protect our home for you."
"Well, Yuyi, I have always been optimistic about you. I will give you the position of the village chief of Mojia."
"Master, don't worry, Brother Gongxi, I will definitely take good care of everyone. Yumei has learned some basic medical skills from Doctor Yuan."
"Whether we are the ones who leave or the ones who stay, we are all part of each other's lives and the pillars that we rely on."
A warm feeling surged in everyone's heart. Mo Lengzhou's words were like a ray of sunshine, warming the uneasiness deep in their hearts.
The Ning clan elder said firmly, "No matter how difficult life may be in the future, we will live to see the young master forge a bright future."
"Yes, we have food and water here. Young master, feel free to go out and explore. Don't worry about us."
"Don't worry, we will definitely take care of all those guarding outside, and we won't let you be harassed by any criminals no matter what."
Mo Lengzhou's voice was firm, and he tightened his grip on Lu Zhitao's hand slightly, as if he was taking an oath.
