Chapter 455 Peace Talisman Keeps You Safe
After the team became completely quiet, everyone looked towards the people next to them who were still asking around to buy water.
Those people walked around the entire camp two or three times, and in the end only two families were able to buy water.
Aunt Zhang hurried over only after those who were buying water stopped.
"Daya, I was stuck at home just now and didn't have time to come over to persuade you.
Fortunately, you reacted promptly and did not admit that there was water.
Everyone was watching what happened just now.
If you really sell it, and someone runs out of water in a day or two, you'll definitely be targeted!"
Lu Qingqing was also a little scared. She really didn't expect that Lu Lao San would do such a thing.
Fortunately, Lu Tianming reacted in time and the crisis was temporarily avoided.
However, we still need to be vigilant these days to prevent anyone from having bad intentions.
Of course, if we can find a 'reasonable water source', the problem can be solved from the root.
Before Lu Qingqing could think about it, Aunt Zhang took out a small cloth bag from her arms and stuffed it directly into her hand.
"Daya, thanks to you for reminding me earlier, otherwise my family would have been out of water by now.
This is the amulet I asked for when I went to Baohua Temple to pray.
This talisman is very effective. Even Mrs. Sun went to ask for it at that time.
Wear it on your body to keep you safe."
When Lu Qingqing opened it, she saw that it was an exquisite little sachet, which should contain a lucky charm.
Before she traveled through time, she was a staunch atheist.
If someone had told her at that time that a talisman could bring safety, she would probably have scoffed.
But after experiencing time travel and space exploration herself, she began to believe in these things more than she believed.
After Lu Qingqing carefully put away the sachet, she thanked Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang was very happy that her kindness was taken seriously, and the more she looked at Lu Qingqing, the more she liked her.
In her heart, Daya and Dazhuang are both good kids.
Of course, it would be better if these two children were our own.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang inevitably thought of her son.
I excitedly took back the amulet that I had begged for with great effort and kowtowed three times and nine times, and wanted to put it on my son, but he avoided me with disgust.
Looking at Daya's actions now, the gap in his heart is even more obvious.
Coupled with her son's attempt to sell water secretly just now, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look worried.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Qingqing asked with concern:
"Aunt Zhang, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Aunt Zhang was thinking about this matter, and when she heard her ask about it, she couldn't help but complain:
"Daya, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me.
Just now, the head of the family and I worked together to control that useless guy in my family.
He actually thought of secretly selling the little water that his family had saved with great difficulty.
If he really sold us out, our family might die of thirst!
I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid now, he’s like he’s possessed by a demon.
I remember that when he was a child, he was as well-behaved as Dazhuang.
I don't know when it started to become like this.
This is also my fault. When he grew up a little, he followed the young master to study with him, and I was idle at home.
At that time, my husband and I wanted to earn more money to buy some belongings for our children so that we could live a happier life in the future.
Who knew that the child would become like this.
Blame it on me. It was because I didn't teach him in time that a good kid became like this!"
Lu Qingqing didn't know much about Aunt Zhang's only son, Li Chengye.
But after only seeing them twice, the child didn't take them seriously.
However, she was already on good terms with Aunt Zhang and her husband, and since she didn't get along with their son, she kept her distance from him.
Hearing Aunt Zhang complaining about her like this, she wanted to give her some advice, but after all, they were mother and son, and she really didn't know how to persuade them.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang just complained a few words and didn't really want any advice.
She looked back at her home and said to Lu Qingqing:
"Daya, I have to go back and look after Chengye with the head of the family, so I won't say much to you.
Here are two cakes. When you have time, give them to Da Zhuang secretly. Don’t let his father snatch them away.”
Aunt Zhang said this and left in a hurry.
Seeing the man leave, Lu Qingqing looked in the direction of Dazhuang.
At this time, Da Zhuang had already fallen asleep next to Boss Lu, so he planned to wait until dark to send him some more things.
She looked around again and saw that most people had gone to bed.
The people on duty in the team were still on guard and lay down to rest with their eyes closed.
When the team set out again, the sun was still high in the sky.
Due to water shortage recently, everyone is controlling their water intake.
People rarely drink water, so naturally the horses in each family are also short of water.
When the whole team had been setting off for more than half an hour, suddenly a horse fell down.
No matter how hard the owner whipped the horse, it just lay on the ground and twitched.
The man saw that the Sun family team in front was still moving forward, and the carriages on the side were overtaking them one after another.
He suddenly became anxious and started buying horses everywhere.
When he saw that there were extra horses in Lu Qingqing's team, he hurriedly shouted that he wanted to buy a horse.
Lu Tianming agreed with this idea. Leaving the extra horses in their team would only consume more water.
Seeing that the line was very long, he hurriedly called the man to come over to choose a horse.
The man did not dare to delay at this time. He picked among the extra horses in the team and finally chose the one that Li Rui had been serving.
Although the horse seldom drank water recently, Li Rui felt sorry for it and fed it some water from time to time.
Therefore, the horse's mental state seemed to be much better than that of other horses.
After the man chose the horse, Li Rui was still reluctant to let it go, fearing that the horse would fall down like the man's horse.
The man seemed to realize something and promised to save some water for it every day.
In the end, the horse was successfully bought by that person.
Before the team set off again, Lu Qingqing looked back.
I saw the horse lying on the ground, its neck had been cut.
At this moment, the family was quickly cutting up the horse meat.
She heard from afar the child shouting, "Dad, chop off my thigh! I want to eat horse meat!"
Lu Qingqing didn't look at it any more and turned back to continue driving.
When the team set out again, two families approached Lu Qingqing's team intentionally or unintentionally.
When the road conditions were good, they took the opportunity to contact Lu Laosan who was in the back half of the team.
However, before they could say anything, they were interrupted by the people in the carriages in front and behind Lu Laosan.
I don't want them to come into contact, for fear that Lu Lao San will cause trouble again.
Lu Laosan was also very scared at this time and did not dare to argue with those two families.
Seeing this, the two families had to give up temporarily.
Everyone traveled for the entire afternoon but couldn't find any water.
The team Lu Qingqing was in remained on alert until dark.
This time, Lu Tianming deliberately chose a place far away from other teams to rest.
After the team stopped, they were no longer like before. Because there were many guards from the Sun family on duty, only two people were left to keep watch.
Instead, according to the level of vigilance during the previous escape, four people were directly arranged to be on guard, with a replacement every hour and a half.
In this way, the people on duty can sleep for a few hours and avoid feeling uncomfortable during the day.
After the team stopped, Lu Qingqing looked around as usual.
It was already dark when she came back. She came back from the northwest of the camp and greeted Lu Shufu who was on duty in that direction.
Just as I was about to go back to my car, I heard a woman's very low voice in the woods next to the camp.
Her hearing is more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and she can hear that the person talking over there is not from the team.
She was a little surprised that when people from other teams came over, Lu Shufu didn't seem to be anxious.
Just when I was wondering, I heard Lu Shufu explain awkwardly:
"It's my mother and Little Stone's grandmother there. They are talking to a lady they met before."
