At this time, the horse bandits had left, and only the caravan and the Land Rover father and son were left in the inn, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed at this time.

The leader of the caravan's escort got up with a few men and went out to check the goods piled up behind the inn, the horse bandits were gone, but they had to strengthen their defenses just in case.

Shao Xi saw Lu Yunxiang hiding in the stove alone, looking at the dejected Lu Rover, so he opened his mouth and called him closer.

"Shopkeeper Lu, can you tell me what's going on? Why do these guys keep pestering you father and son? But have you sinned against them? ”

Seeing Shao Xi's question, Land Rover hurriedly bowed down, showing humility from his expression to his movements.

"This son must not be called the villain shopkeeper, the villain father and son just opened a small inn here, the villain is both a cook and a buddy, and he really doesn't dare to be the shopkeeper."

Shao Xi smiled noncommittally, this Land Rover does seem to be a little cowardly, and even when talking to himself, he is cautious, nodding his head, for fear of offending himself with a single word.

It seems that their father and son have been bullied a lot on weekdays, and they have developed this habit, and they can't help but begin to understand Lu Yunxiang's reaction just now.

"Just now, that gang of horse bandits asked you for money, did you owe them a debt, or did you offend them before they came to the door to take revenge?"

Seeing Shao Xi asking, Lu Rover's face was full of wrongs and grievances, and he bowed down and replied: "The villain took his son to open such a small inn here, just to make a living, where did he dare to borrow money from the Yesha Gang?"

"The villain never owed them a debt, and he dared not offend them, but because the villain's inn was in their sphere of influence, they came to the villain from time to time to ask for money, saying that it was to take it back to honor the big boss Shahu.

In fact, the villain understands in his heart that this is just Li Ermazi, the second master, who wants to ask for some benefits from the villain, and before that he was only asking for dozens or hundreds of words, but later he asked for more and more.

A few days ago, he actually asked the villain to take out ten taels of silver to honor him, but the small shop was already barely maintained, how could he get so many taels of silver to honor him?

"They came to ask for it again today, and fortunately the shopkeeper Sun generously helped, but three days later he was going to come to get the other five taels, and the villain really didn't know what to do!"

Shao Xi heard that this was a bit outrageous, how much money can they make in a year by opening such a wild shop in the desert like Land Rover and their father and son?

Land Rover said that Li Ermazi was begging for dozens of hundreds of texts before, and almost all the savings of Land Rover's father and son were emptied of this year, and their father and son were only barely making ends meet.

Unexpectedly, Li Ermazi was insatiable and intensified, and this time he actually asked for ten taels when he opened his mouth, which is an astronomical amount for Land Rover and his son, how can he get it?

If Sun Lichang hadn't helped today, I'm afraid Land Rover and Lu Yunxiang would have suffered today.

But what if it helps?

Three days later, Li Er Mazi will still come, even if he helps their father and son tide over the current difficulties, presumably Li Er Mazi will come again in the future, and he will ask for more.

If Land Rover can come up with ten taels this time, Li Ermazi will only ask for more next time, so to some extent, helping them will also harm their father and son, and it will only make them face further squeezing of Li Ermazi in the future.

At this time, Sun Lichang turned his head and glanced at Shao Xi, he wanted to know what Shao Xi was thinking at this time, if Shao Xi was willing to help the father and son, even if he was a businessman, he would not hesitate to take out another five taels of silver.

However, he could see from Shao Xi's expression that Shao Xi had no intention of helping.

He also understood Shao Xi's thoughts, so although he looked at the Land Rover was really pitiful, he didn't say anything more.

Whether it is Sun Lichang or Shao Xi for this kind of thing, they can only sympathize with it in their hearts, and they really can't help, because they know that it is useless to help, and they can't solve any substantive problems.

In this regard, they can only express helplessness.

Shao Xi looked at the cowardly appearance of the Land Rover in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

It's really not easy for the father and son, but they just want to make a living from this small shop in this uninhabited land, and they can't imagine that they will have to face these unjustified disasters.

"Shopkeeper Lu, haven't you thought of leaving this place with your son to make a living elsewhere? In this way, with your craftsmanship, you can not only live a better life, but also avoid the unreasonable entanglement of these horse bandits, but why should you stay here all the time and prefer to be oppressed by them? ”

Hearing this, Land Rover sighed helplessly.

"It's not that the villain hasn't thought about it, but the villain and his son only have this inn, and if they leave this place, they can only wander around and have no fixed place to live.

"I don't have anything myself, but this child has to follow me to suffer all the hardships of the world, and I, as a father, really can't bear to let my son go with me to suffer these hardships.

"Besides, the child's mother is buried in this oasis, if we leave, the cemetery will be left uncared for, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be picked up by wolves, how can I be worthy of his mother?"

Shao Xi felt sour when he heard this, it turned out that Land Rover had been swallowing his anger not only because he was cowardly by nature, but because he had been thinking about his children and deceased wife in his heart, so he reluctantly bowed his head to reality.

As he said, it's nothing for him to suffer alone, but Lu Yunxiang is still just a ten-year-old child.

Although Lu Yunxiang was sensible very early, a child is a child after all, and as a father, he naturally doesn't want his son to suffer more with him.

The latter reason is even more irrefutable.

It is said that people should be buried in the earth after death, and Land Rover buried his wife in this oasis, naturally wanting to guard the resting place of his deceased wife with his son.

If it was really just to escape the horse bandits and leave this place, and the burial of his deceased wife was unattended, it was naturally unacceptable to him.

At this time, Shao Xi finally understood why Land Rover had been whispering to the group of horse bandits, and it turned out that he was not for himself, but for his son and his deceased wife.

This family affection made Shao Xi couldn't help but be moved.

"But you can't do this, those horse bandits are insatiable, they will only get an inch, and now the lion is opening his mouth, what will you do in three days? If they really kill people and set fire to shops, will you not suffer the same? ”

Land Rover sighed heavily, and said in an extremely heavy and helpless tone: "Alas! Before she died, her mother had told me that no matter what happened, the child would grow up safely.

"Don't let Yunxiang get involved in the disturbances of this world again, right and wrong, I was sorry for his mother in the past, so I have to keep her last wish for her no matter what, and I must not be sorry for this child anymore."

Saying that, Land Rover actually "pounced" and knelt down in front of Shao Xi, Sun Lichang and others.

The people in the room were stunned all of a sudden, and they all wondered why the shopkeeper of this inn, although he was a little cowardly, would not kneel down to these guests? Which one is this singing?

Shao Xi, Sun Lichang and others were also stunned for a moment, this Land Rover suddenly knelt down for himself, did he want to ask his group to help?

But what could they do to help him but give him some money?

What Land Rover just said also made Sun Lichang very moved, he is also a father, Sun Lichang knows how difficult it is to work hard to make money to support his wife and children.

What's more, Land Rover's situation is so special, it can't help but make Sun Lichang's heart feel compassion.

So Sun Lichang stretched out his hand and took out another collar of silver from his arms and handed it to Land Rover.

"Why do you have to do that? Hurry up! Here are five taels of silver, you take it three days and then hand it over to those horse bandits, it can be regarded as helping you through the difficulties in front of you, we are just passers-by, and these are the only things we can help you with, as for how we will wait in the future, we really can't help. ”

Sun Lichang's move, Shao Xi didn't feel anything wrong at this time.

Originally, I thought that if I helped for a while, I couldn't help for a lifetime, but now it seems that I can really help if I can!

At this moment, Shao Xi has deeply experienced the difficulties of Land Rover, and can also feel the unwillingness and grievances in his heart, he has carried so much, but his son does not understand him very well, it is really not easy for him as a father.

Who knew that Land Rover did not reach out to pick up the silver handed over by Sun Lichang, but leaned over and kowtowed deeply to Shao Xi and Sun Lichang and others.

His head knocked Shao Xi and others inexplicably, if it was because of the five taels of silver given by Sun Lichang, he didn't reach out to take it, if it wasn't for the five taels of silver, why would he kowtow?

After kowtowing, Land Rover raised his head to look at Shao Xi, his eyes full of begging.

He had long seen that Shao Xi's status in this group of guests was higher than Sun Lichang's, although Sun Lichang seemed to be the person in charge of this caravan, but it seemed that everything depended on Shao Xi's face.

"This son, the villain knows that you are a person who can make decisions, and the villain has something to ask the son to agree to no matter what."

Shao Xi is not surprised that Land Rover can see his status in this group of people, and the people who open stores and do business are naturally bright-eyed.

He's just a little strange, isn't the biggest difficulty for Land Rover at the moment the lack of money? Since Sun Lichang had already taken out five taels of silver, why didn't he take it but came to beg him? So what did he ask for himself?

"Oh? Do you have something to ask me? Tell me about it. ”

Before Land Rover could speak, he kowtowed to Shao Xi again, which gave Shao Xi a premonition that what he asked for was not as simple as a little money.

"The villain knows that even if the benefactors help the villain today, and hand over the five taels of silver to Li Ermazi three days later, it will still be endless in the future, which will only make their appetite bigger and bigger.

"If this continues, my father and son will never have peace, but the villain can't leave this place in order to protect his deceased wife, so the villain wants to ask the son to promise the villain and let the villain's son Lu Yunxiang leave with all the benefactors.

"In the future, even if he is only a handyman who leads camels and feeds horses, he will not be bullied here with me, and the day is precarious! It can be seen that Childe is a benevolent person, and he begs Childe to agree to the villain. ”

After saying that, Land Rover knocked his head down again.
