Chapter 5: Ten Years Ago (Part I)
"Mondstadt is such a beautiful place, brother."
Sitting in the carriage, the young Lu Qian looked out the window with blank eyes, looking at the dandelion that was gradually moving away from sight, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
"It's been a week in Mondstadt, haven't you seen enough?" A gentle-looking woman touched Qianshi's little head lovingly and asked with a smile.
"I haven't seen enough, I haven't seen enough." Lu Qianzhi got into the woman's arms and sprinkled coquettishly, and the mother and daughter suddenly frolicked.
Sitting opposite the mother and daughter was a middle-aged man who was not smiling, and when he saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, patted the shoulder of the boy on his right, and asked, "Shi Yuan, what do you think of this trip." ”
"It's just exotic, and that's it." Lu Shiyuan said calmly, "But the dandelion wine here ...... I think I can sell it to Liyue Harbor.
What do you think of the taste of dandelion wine, Dad, is it very much in line with the tastes of the people of Liyue? ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed, and his tone was full of approval: "The idea is very good, it is worthy of my son, Shi Yuan, although you have just turned eight years old now, my father thinks that it is time to take you to the family shop to practice." ”
Lu Qianjian poked his little head out of his mother's arms, looked at his brother curiously, then glanced at his mother, and whispered, "Brother is so powerful." ”
"yes." The gentle woman replied with a smile, "Your brother is the pride of our family. ”
"Thank you, Dad." Lu Shiyuan nodded slightly, still with a calm expression, and only showed a soft smile when he looked at Lu Qianzhi and the gentle woman.
The younger sister looked at her brother's warm smile, and somehow became a little shy, blushed, and buried her head in her mother's arms again.
"Am I special enough now?" Lu Shiyuan put away his smile and thought in his heart.
However, just as the family was chatting happily, the carriage suddenly shook violently and forcibly stopped the car.
Because of the turmoil in the carriage, the family was also shaken.
After reacting, the middle-aged man immediately took out a glittering spear from the dark cabinet of the carriage, blocked his family behind him, and shouted: "Ah Cai, what happened?!" ”
"Master, it's not good! Yes, it's a treasure thief...... Ahh
Outside the carriage, Ah Cai's frightened voice sounded, but before he finished speaking, the sound of a heavy object hitting his body sounded, and Ah Cai screamed miserably, and there was no more sound.
"Ah Cai!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened angrily, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but his attendant who was driving the car was probably ......
Lu Shiyuan's heart tightened, and he also understood that things were not simple, but at this time, the only thing he could do was to hide the fruit knife on the table in his arms.
Through the window, they could clearly see that the carriage had been surrounded by masked Treasure Hoarders.
"What's going on, Mom." Lu Qianzhi instinctively felt the fear and hugged the gentle woman tightly.
The latter also hugged his daughter tightly, blocking her daughter's view of trying to look out of the car window, her eyes were also full of horror, but she still held back the fear in her heart, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
At this moment, the leader of the Treasure Hoarders spoke outside the carriage,
"Boss Lu, I advise you to take your wife, son and daughter out obediently to die, so that you can be happy."
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he immediately responded: "Your Excellency should be a treasure thief, Lu has been in business for many years, and he thinks that he has never provoked Your Excellency, why do you shout and kill as soon as you meet?"
Aren't you treasure thieves seeking wealth? Leave us alone, and I'll give you all my money. ”
"The conditions are very exciting, but I refuse." The leader of the Treasure Hoarders sneered and said, "Your family can't leave, if you want to ask why, the reason is very simple, someone spent money to buy your life, it cost 12 million Mora.
Besides, if you are dead, isn't the property in this car still mine? ”
"Is that the case...... the middle-aged man closed his eyes in despair.
Although the Treasure Hoarders claim to seek money and not kill people, after all, they are some guys who have already fallen into the grass, and they can't be expected to have much moral standards, and when the money is in place, it may not be impossible to kill people.
"It seems that today is more auspicious." The middle-aged man opened his eyes, his eyes were full of determination, and he said softly, "Yizhu, I'll drag down the Treasure Hoarders later, you, take the child and run quickly!" ”
The gentle woman was stunned, and finally nodded heavily, "I understand." ”
"Boss Lu, come out quickly, otherwise we will set fire to it and be burned to death...... But it's painful! ”
"Let's get out!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, the tip of the gun forward, and rushed out of the carriage, the gentle woman followed closely with Lu Qianzhi, and Lu Shiyuan also got out of the car together.
As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw Ah Cai lying in a pool of blood, and a group of more than a dozen treasure thieves who had already scattered and were standing.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man let out a loud cry, already carrying a spear and fighting with several members of the Treasure Hoarders.
"Let's go!" The gentle woman took her son's hand in one hand and her daughter in the other, and with a sad expression, she broke through in the direction of the fewest members of the Treasure Hoarders.
The surrounding members of the Treasure Hoarders immediately wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were desperately stopped by the middle-aged man.
Although the Treasure Hoarders were outnumbered, in the face of a man with martial arts who sacrificed his life to fight, he couldn't spare the manpower to pursue the three daughters and children for a while, and was run away.
The gentle woman and her two children ran desperately in the direction of Liyue, and when she thought of her husband's situation, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes.
However, within a few minutes of running, there were footsteps and shouts behind him.
"Hurry up and chase it, you can already see people!"
"Catch them, one is worth three million Mora."
The gentle woman's face suddenly turned pale, the Treasure Hoarders actually caught up so quickly? Doesn't that mean that the husband is already ......
The woman's face could no longer hide the look of despair, but she still ran desperately for the sake of her children.
But how could an ordinary woman, coupled with two children, outrun the Treasure Hoarders and be caught up in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the gentle woman let go of Lu Shiyuan, and she stopped.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Lu Shiyuan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Shi Yuan, you take a thousand papers and go, I'll help you stop them." The gentle woman put Lu Qian's paper on the ground, her eyes showing a look of determination, "I want to ...... Protect your sister. ”
There was no time for her to say more, so she could only take a deep look at the children, take their appearance to heart, and turn towards the Treasure Hoarders.
"Mom-" Lu Qianzhi looked at the gentle woman's distant back, and subconsciously wanted to run over, as usual, ran over and got into her mother's arms.
And at this moment, Lu Shiyuan grabbed his sister, put away the grief in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let's go quickly." ”
"I ...... I'm not going. Lu Qianzhi shook off the former's hand and shouted with a crying voice.
Lu Shiyuan shook his head, and couldn't help but put his sister on his back, no matter how the girl hammered his back, he didn't let go at all.
Since his father and mother are gone, he is the eldest in the family and must take on the responsibility of protecting his family.
