Lu De said goodbye to Zuo Tian'an and went back in the direction of his home, he deliberately avoided the bustling street market, and deep down he decided that he was a vicious thief.

In a trance, his consciousness repeatedly echoed the cry of his son's young feather, the heart-rending cry that pierced the night sky in the nightmare deeply pierced Lu De's heart, his son has suffered a lot, and the ten-year-old child is only the beginning of this world, why let him be born in the small country between the cracks of Yundu, if it weren't for the weakness of Yundu, he would not have formulated any sacrifice rituals, and his son would not have to sacrifice his thirty years of life.

And as a father, even if he only has three days to live, he will fight for his son!

Lu De returned home with a tired face, sat down and returned to his bedroom without resting for a moment, Mrs. Lu heard the noise and came to check, and found that Lu De was opening the dusty camphor wood box.

This box is stored in Mrs. Lu's dowry and subsequent jewelry, after giving birth to Youling, she will no longer wear it, these gold and silver are soft and soft as the treasure of the family pressure box, and will never use the contents until the last resort, and now it seems that it is time to use the money.

After all, Mrs. Lu has been a husband and wife with Lu De for ten years, how can she not know her husband's thoughts, she raised the candlestick and bent down to cooperate with her husband to tidy up, and after a while, the valuable things in the house were placed on the table.

"Brother De, are these things enough?"

"It should be almost the same if you take the Langya jade pendant left for Youling, such a heavy gift, as long as you can save Youling's life, it is worth it. ”

"Don't you need anything but money?"

"Alas," Lu De sighed, and told his wife about the meeting with Zuo Tian'an.

The wife bit her red lip and listened to what Lu De said silently, and her heart rippled, now her son's life naturally has room for reversal, but she doesn't know where to get a child born in the lunar month to replace her own child.

Lu De frowned, but Mrs. Lu stepped forward and said with relief: "Brother De, I have an idea in my heart. ”

"Madame, please. ”

Madame Lu glanced out of the window, and then cautiously crouched into Lu De's ear.

"The son of the Guo family in Yeyuecheng was born half a month earlier than Youling......"

"Guo family!" Lu De stared at Mrs. Lu in front of him with wide eyes, "Do you mean to replace Guo Ruolin, the son of the Guo family?"

Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, but her eyes no longer dodged Lu De's gaze, and after the two looked at each other for a long time, Lu De suddenly took the case.

"Absolutely not, this Guo Ruolin is the only son in the family, how can the Guo family give up the only incense. ”

"Brother De, when Yeyue City was in the first battle, if it wasn't for your help, the Guo family would have ceased to exist a long time ago, they have been grateful to us all these years, although the two families do not meet often, they can be regarded as friends in the world, I believe they will not die without help. ”

"Madam, you should also know why I resigned from the military in the first battle of Yeyue City, when I was ambushed, and fought and retreated to lead the war to Yeyue City, so that the entire Guojia Village was razed to the ground, I have always felt guilty in my heart, so I resigned and did not do it, the purpose is to no longer be involved in this endless killing, for the Guo family, I never felt that I was saving people, in fact, I was just redeeming the sins I committed. ”

"What can we do in this troubled era? even if we don't want to affect them, but Hazuki City is located on the border of the sunshine, bordering the cloud capital, if there is a war, Hazuki City will definitely bear the brunt of being implicated, what do we have to do?"

Lu De stopped talking, Mrs. Lu knew that Lu De had been moved, but her heart still couldn't cross this hurdle, she thought about it again and again and decided to let him sit and stop discussing with him. She began to open her closet, pulled out a piece of blue and white curtain, and folded the clothes one by one.

Lu De caught a glimpse of his son Youling's clothes, and immediately understood that his wife had determined that he had to do it, and he wanted to stop it, but his hands didn't obey the call and followed to help clean it up.

There are still two days left before the sacrifice is here, and it will take half a day to travel back and forth to Yeyue City, and his son Youling can't sit still, even if the Guo family doesn't agree to send it over now, there is still time to bring it back.

Besides, he was already sure in his heart that the Guo family would definitely not refuse him, but he couldn't bear it for a while when he thought about it.

The carriage and horses were ready, and Lu De's family set off in the starry night before the night curfew in Yundu. Lu De sat outside to drive the horse, and Mrs. Lu and her son Lu Youling sat in the car.

Along the way, there are sores left by successive battles, the road is difficult and dangerous, from time to time there are puddles or stone pits to turn the car upside down, and his son Youling has no intention of sleeping, and is being held in the arms of Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu coaxed her son all the way for fear that he would be sleepy, because once he fell asleep, he might enter a dream of asking for his life, but his son had always been very well-behaved, and he lay on his side in Mrs. Lu's arms motionless, but his face was uneasy and panicked.

Lu Youling watched her father catch the car outside the curtain, and her mother stared at her with a serious face, she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, where are we going?"

"Go to your Uncle Guo's house in Yeyue City. ”

"It seems that I haven't seen Guo Ruolin for three years, I don't know who is taller between me and him? ”

"yes, I haven't seen father and son in so many years. You two are about the same age, and you should be the same height. ”

"I don't believe it, I must be taller than him. ”

Son Youling showed a long-lost smile, and Mrs. Lu reached out to caress his forehead.

"By the way, mother, how long are we going to stay this time, why haven't we seen you and Daddy's bags? ”

"This time, only Youling and you are left alone, and your father and I still have important things to do. ”

"That's okay, it's okay, anyway, I shouldn't be lonely with Guo Ruolin's kid with me, but you and your father have to come back to pick me up as soon as possible." ”

"Guo Ruolin ......"

Mrs. Lu muttered the name several times in her mouth, and her heart was sour, and Lu De, who was outside the curtain, heard the conversation between the two of them, and hurriedly probed in, signaling his wife not to talk more.

The journey was quite smooth, set off at the time, and arrived at the city of Yeyue City at the time of Chen, and walked a few miles to the west without entering the city to Guojia Village, the night was dark, and the weather was cool, Lu De tied the carriage to a forest outside the city, and motioned Mrs. Lu to get off with her son.

Hazuki City already belonged to the territory of Rizhao Country, and he knew that if he drove a carriage to the village at this time, he would disturb the others, so they could only sneak in on foot.

"Daddy, isn't it still here, why did you get off the bus?"

The son asked puzzled, Lu De made a boo gesture to him, then touched his head and said, "The people in the village are asleep, and driving in will disturb many people's dreams." ”

"Well, I can't sleep well now. ”

Lu Youling lowered her head and hid behind her, Lu De and his wife glanced at each other, and seemed to be touched by his son's words, no matter what, he must not hesitate at this time.

The three of them walked along, and just as they were about to reach the entrance of the village, suddenly a crisp neighing of horses crossed the hill not far away.

The husband and wife hurriedly took their son to crawl in the bushes, and Lu De poked his head out vigilantly to look out, and found that a carriage was galloping behind the hill.

Lu De motioned to Lu Youling not to make a sound, but Mrs. Lu on the side pulled Lu De's clothes.

"Brother De, this carriage has the mark of our Yundu. ”

Only then did Lu De notice that the carriage had auspicious cloud marks on the wheels, which was the unique mark of Yundu Kingdom. It's just that the man who led the horse turned his back to himself and couldn't see his face clearly, and the green cloth curtain under the hood of the car didn't know if there were other people inside.

The carriage galloped in the direction of the outside of the village, and soon disappeared from the view of the three of them, and Lu De lay on the ground until the sound of the horses' hooves could not be heard at all before letting his wife get up.

"Brother De, do you know whose carriage this is?"

Lu De shook his head, he patted the dust off his wife and son in turn, and then said: "If you can drive a carriage with the imprint of auspicious clouds, you must be either an official or a rich man, okay, let's hurry into the village without further ado." ”
