"I'm not going anywhere! Why are you forcing me to leave my house to escape the bandits? I said I was going to go out and learn the skills when I grew up, but I learned them to protect our own inn in the future, not to escape.

"Isn't it a sign of cowardice and incompetence on the part of me that you have asked me to leave my home with others? You are afraid of them, but I am not! I won't bow down to them like you.

"I will be a man who stands up to the heavens and the earth in the future, and protect what belongs to me with my own ability, and I will never kneel on the ground and beg for the gifts of others like you do now."

Before Shao Xi could figure out whether he wanted to agree to what Land Rover wanted from him, he heard Lu Yunxiang's words.

At this moment, Lu Yunxiang stood at the door of the stove room again, looking at his father's back kneeling in front of Shao Xi and the others with an angry face.

He still couldn't understand that this was obviously the inn that their father and son had worked so hard to run, and this was the home they had built single-handedly.

Why should someone else break into their homes and take what belongs to them, while they themselves should tremble and bow their eyebrows to please others?

His father was timid and fearful, and he succumbed to the obscenity of the horse bandits, but now he knelt down and begged for the customers who came to stay in the store, just to get help from others.

This made Lu Yunxiang's small chest can't help but burn with anger.

At this time, his heart was full of resentment, he hated his father's weakness, incompetence, cowardice, and his own weakness.

If he had the ability to protect his homeland, he would not have let the bandits be so rampant, kicking the wooden door of their inn at every turn, and extorting a sum of money from them after coming in to eat and drink for nothing.

That's what he and his father worked hard to earn, why did they give it away like this?

He hated the injustice of this world, and he hated those shameless people who bullied the weak and bullied others.

Although he is still young, he also knows how to be a man with a straight waist, rather than groveling and begging others like his father.

Land Rover turned his head and saw his son's appearance, and hurriedly got up and ran to squat down in front of Lu Yunxiang.

Grabbing Lu Yunxiang's shoulders with both hands, he said, "Yunxiang, dad is doing all this for you and your mother!" Your mother's last instruction to me when she left was to let me take care of you.

"I can't let you be hurt in any way, I want you to grow up peacefully, you are the only thought of me and your mother in this world, Dad doesn't want you to be hurt because of Daddy.

"Today's Wild Sand Gang has forced you and my father and son into a desperate situation, it's not a pity for your father and me to die, but my father can't affect you! Child, you are obedient! Promise my father to leave with these benefactors.

"They will take care of you and let you grow up safely, and in the future, when you can marry a wife and have children and live a stable life, you will understand your father's hard work."

Lu Yunxiang raised his hand and opened Lu Rover's hand from his shoulder, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he looked at his father in front of him with disappointment and contempt.

"How could I have a father like you? How could I be your son? If my mother is still alive, I don't know how disappointed I would be to see you like this today!

"Why did my mother marry you back then? Why did you give birth to me? You're not my dad! I don't have a weak, incompetent, wretched father like you! ”

When he said these words, Lu Yunxiang's face was already full of tears, and Lu Rover's father disappointed him too much.

He couldn't imagine that his father was cowardly and incompetent in front of the horse bandits, and now he had to give himself to others, so that he could be a miscellaneous servant under the hands of others, but he never thought of rebelling against those who bullied and insulted their father and son.

In his eyes, Land Rover's father is simply incompetent, making him completely disappointed in his father.

He shook off the Land Rover's hand and turned and ran upstairs, with the sound of the wooden door slamming shut, everyone knew that the child locked himself in the room either angry, aggrieved, or aggrieved, but more disappointed in his father.

Land Rover's performance also made some people present full of contempt, as a man can not stand up to protect his home and his son, but has to kneel in front of outsiders and beg to take his son away, which is not only incompetent in the eyes of many people, but even a little shameless.

Although everyone understands that Land Rover did this to better protect Lu Yunxiang and let him get rid of the days of being bullied by that group of horse bandits.

But is this the only way? Is it only the separation of flesh and blood that can be exchanged for peace? Why not rebel?

The husband was angry, blood splashed five steps, even a native has three points of anger, this Land Rover has a "tiger" in its name, but why does it live like a lost dog?

Although it can't be said that he is wrong to be a man with his tail between his legs, there must be a limit after all, and his appearance is simply a useless wreck, and it is a shame to be a man.

At this time, someone next to him couldn't look at it anymore and opened his mouth to reprimand Land Rover.

"How did you become a dad? It's useless to yourself, and you have to send your son out, I really don't know what you think! ”

"That's it! A gentleman who is only a promise, has been ridden to the neck and, and he doesn't know how to resist, it's really useless! ”

"I said shopkeeper, this inn is yours, although you can't provoke those bandits, but you won't be like this! How can you not even protect your own home and your own son? ”

"Alas! Forget it, don't talk about it! Everyone has their own problems, so let's take care of our own business! ”

"That's it, eat and drink enough to go upstairs to sleep, and I'm going to hurry tomorrow! What do you do with other people's business? ”

The gossiping remarks of these porters and guards seemed to have made Land Rover embarrassed, and at this time he stood in place with a complicated expression, some grievances, some pain, some unwillingness, some helplessness, and it seemed to be mixed with a bit of anger.

It's just that this anger is even more impotent in the eyes of others, and no one knows who he is directed at, maybe it's a horse bandit, maybe it's his son, maybe it's against himself.

But everyone is sure without a doubt that his anger is useless, and no matter how big the fire is, he can only hide in his heart.

Seeing this, Sun Lichang couldn't help but get up and say to everyone: "Okay, okay, shut up!" What's your business? Eat and drink enough to go upstairs to sleep, and we will leave early tomorrow morning! ”

When everyone saw the shopkeeper's words, they all hurriedly drank the wine in the bowl, and some people did not forget to reach out and grab a few pieces of mutton before going upstairs to eat while walking.

Except for the guards who stayed outside the inn to guard the goods in shifts, everyone else went upstairs to rest, and at this time, only Shao Xi and them were left downstairs.

Looking at the Land Rover who was still standing in a daze, Shao Xi got up and walked to his side, and said softly: "I am very sympathetic to your situation, but after all, this is a caravan, and it is indeed inconvenient to carry a child."

"Have you ever wondered? What your son said is not unreasonable, some things can never be solved if you repeatedly tolerate and evade, we are just passers-by, we can't help you, only you can help you.

"Since there is something here that you can't give up, then you can protect it with your own hands! Whether as a father or as a man, this is something you should carry. ”

After speaking, Shao Xi also walked straight upstairs.

Sun Lichang, Lao Wu, Fu Biao and others did not have any objections to Shao Xi's decision, they felt that what Shao Xi said was not wrong.

If you put all your hopes in others, then hope cannot be called hope.

Several people also got up and walked upstairs, and when they passed in front of Land Rover, Lao Wu couldn't help but pat Land Rover's shoulder, which was a kind of comfort and encouragement.

Everyone went upstairs, but Land Rover was the only one standing downstairs in a daze.

He looked up at the messy dishes on the wooden table, and then turned his head to look at the wooden door that was almost kicked by Li Ermazi, and the expression on his face gradually began to become calm.

At this moment, his eyes gradually flashed a trace of coldness from the previous grievances, unwillingness and disappointment.

After a few moments, he turned and lifted the curtain into the stove, and soon there was a "clatter" of sharpening knives in the stove.

……

Originally, the caravan planned to leave after dawn to continue its journey, but people were not as good as the sky, and in the middle of the night, a sandstorm suddenly broke out in the desert.

This thing is extraordinary, unlike the usual winds and sands encountered on a daily basis, a sandstorm is enough to completely submerge a caravan in the desert in the yellow sand.

Many teams encountered sandstorms on the way, and since then they have completely disappeared into the vast desert.

Not to mention a small caravan, if it weren't for the fact that this inn was located in an oasis, this sandstorm would have buried the entire inn.

When the sandstorm came, the wind and sand were overwhelming, and the horses and camels outside the inn in the middle of the night were neighing, and the shouts of the guards were already chaotic.

The caravan hurriedly got up and rushed outside against the sandstorm to gather the camels and horses around the goods to ensure the safety of the livestock and the goods.

The whole caravan was busy for most of the night, and it was not until dawn that it was properly settled and returned to the inn.

At this time, everyone was covered with head, face, and dust, and they all looked like freshly unearthed terracotta warriors.

Land Rover father and son hurriedly boiled water for everyone to clean, tossing for most of the day before it stopped, everyone complained, while returning upstairs to make up for sleep, some people sat downstairs and ordered some mutton, bread and coarse grain wine to fill their stomachs.

Everyone was exhausted by the night's tossing, and they originally planned to hurry, but this time the sandstorm didn't stop, and no one could walk.

Sun Lichang discussed with Shao Xi and the others, but they could only wait for the sandstorm to completely stop before the caravan set off.

However, looking at this posture, this sandstorm will not stop for a few days without lasting, and the caravan can only stay in this inn and wait for the weather to improve.

Now it seems that it was fortunate that he came across this oasis and stayed in this inn, and if it was on the way, this sandstorm might have left the entire caravan in the desert.
