Chapter 111: Refusing the Tribe and Following the Mother's Order

After all, she had her own selfish motives behind this persuasion.

She thought that if she could go on the journey with the Xujia Village group, there would be so many of them, and after a night battle, they would be familiar with each other, and at least they could take care of each other, which would not be safer than their family being alone, and being weak, sick, and disabled;

Secondly, she was also considering them. She didn't think that the northern part of Dajing could still be a safe place after the emperor ran away. After all, what's the saying, "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?"

This was why Li Yaoguang had spoken so earnestly just now. The two old men were somewhat moved after hearing it. However, when they thought about the fact that there were not many young and strong people left in their tribes, and that the old and weak had difficulty in moving, and that it was difficult to travel in winter, and they were reluctant to leave their homeland, they finally shook their heads at Li Yaoguang and politely declined Li Yaoguang's invitation.

Li Yaoguang felt very sorry, but did not force it. He sighed in his heart and said goodbye.

The second brother was a little embarrassed when he saw this, but he suppressed his shame and said hurriedly, "Young man, I am really sorry. Please forgive me. I will ask my young men to pick two of the best horses and send them to you. I will not delay your journey."

Shen Yue didn't have much to say, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, thank you two elders, we will pack up and set off on our own later, so I won't say goodbye to you again, so goodbye."

The two elders were shocked again, "Is this so urgent?"

Li Yaoguang's family all nodded, even the young Yang Ge'er.

Seeing this, the clan leader and the village head knew that the other party was determined. Although they felt sorry, they all bowed and said goodbye, "In this case, we old men will not see you off. The mountains are high and the waters are long. Please take care."

Li Yaoguang's family returned the greetings one after another, "Take care."

After the two sides said goodbye, Li Yaoguang and the others turned around and left, but the pair of orphans left by Guangji's child in the family actually followed them closely. Seeing this, the clan leader and the village chief could not help but stop them.

"Miao Jie'er, please wait a moment."

Everyone stopped and looked back when they heard the voice. Xu Miaoniang's heart tightened and she was wary of looking back, and her hand unconsciously tightened around her brother.

"Grandpa, is there anything you can do for me?"

The patriarch looked at the two children in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, and his words were full of love.

"Good boy, your benefactor and his family are packing up to leave, so you should also pack up your house. I will let your nanny come to accompany you in a while. Don't worry, kid, you will live with your clan master and his family from now on, don't be afraid."

Unfortunately, Xu Miaoniang was shaking all over after hearing this. Thinking of the words her mother had told her before she died, Xu Miaoniang looked at the two clan leaders, tears streaming down her face before she said a word, and she shook her head repeatedly.

The clan leader didn't understand what she meant at first. He and the village headman were filled with heartache, thinking that the child might be frightened, and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, kid. It's okay. Even though your parents are gone, there are still people in the clan. I, the old man, am still here. I will definitely not let you and your sister suffer or be wronged."

Considering the contributions of Guangji's children to the clan, they would not treat these two children unfairly even if they joined forces with the entire clan.

This was what the head wanted to say, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, don't be afraid, kid. Seventh Grandpa is still here. For your father's sake, as long as there are still members of my Xu family alive, we will protect you and raise you and your brother well. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Xu Miaoniang was so scared that she burst into tears, but she also knew that if she didn't express her opinion at this time, she and her brother might not be able to leave at all. They couldn't keep up with the capable people her mother talked about. Moreover, she had heard their conversation just now, and she didn't want to go into the mountains to suffer, and...

Xu Miaoniang looked at the man called General Shen by the little girl with tears in her eyes, and her heart became more determined.

"Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa, I, I and my younger brother don't want to go with you. I, I want to go to the south."

"What! You want to go south?" What did he mean? The two clan leaders looked at Xu Miaoniang in surprise, "Miaojie, why are you going south? All our clansmen are here. I have never heard your parents say that you have any relatives or friends in the south. Why are you going south?"

Being looked at like this by the two elders, Xu Miaoniang did not appreciate it, even though she knew that they were just worried about her. She just felt that they were being aggressive. However, she was afraid when she thought about hiding in the deep mountains and forests. She gritted her teeth, pulled the ignorant Yi Ge'er beside her and knelt down in front of the two elders.

"Grandfather, Seventh Grandfather, it's not that Miao Niang is ignorant and insists on going to the south, but my mother told me before she died that I must take my brother and follow Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng's family to leave and settle down in a safe place. Parents' last wishes must not be disobeyed. Grandfather, Seventh Grandfather, I'm sorry, it's Miao Niang's fault, I'm sorry..."

The two elders were even more shocked when they saw the brother and sister kowtow. They thought to themselves that they didn't expect Guangji's wife to have made arrangements before her death. It was amazing that she still had such a kind motherly heart. It would be nice to follow such a capable man as the young man, but... if they wanted to follow, would she bring such a burden as them and their brother on the road?
Besides, when Guangji's wife left, you didn't ask for her consent, nor did you inform her!

Look at what happened!
The two elders looked at each other, feeling sad and uneasy, but still looked at Li Yaoguang with hope, feeling embarrassed: "My two young heroes, how do you see this matter..."

Li Yaoguang and the others had never expected that Madam Xu would give such instructions before her death.

If they don't want to take the child, they will feel guilty because they have received selfless help and care from Dr. Xu; if they want to take the child, they can hardly protect themselves right now, and the journey to the south is more than a thousand miles long. They can't even guarantee their own safety, so how can they guarantee the safety of their sister and brother?

Everyone is in trouble.

Xu Miaoniang, who was kneeling on the ground, was startled by the sudden silence in the air. In a hurry, she made up her mind, pulled Yi Ge'er and crawled on her knees towards Li Yaoguang and others.

"Please, please General Shen, take my sister and I away, please, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Xue, please..."

Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue were quite agile and dodged together. Xu Miaoniang then pounced on Yu Meixue, who showed sympathy for her.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Su's leg was injured for the third time. There was no way to avoid it. He was supported by his wife and had no time to react. Instead, he was successfully pounced on by Xu Miaoniang. Cheng Su snorted in pain, and his family members all changed their faces.

He quickly went forward to check, wow, this leg... "Uncle, when did you get hurt? Why don't you tell me? Do you really want to be a cripple?"

Cheng Su felt guilty seeing that Li Yaoguang was a disappointment to his parents, and he was busy trying to please and beg for mercy before he even stood firmly.

"Haha, that Guangjie, Meixue, I'm really fine. I just ran in a hurry at night and accidentally bumped into someone. Don't worry, maybe he will be fine after a rest. Now you should deal with the children's affairs quickly. Look how worried they are."

The topic was successfully diverted, and everyone looked at the tearful Xu Miaoniang and the frightened Yi Ge'er again. Li Yaoguang was still hesitant, but her aunt softened her heart.

Yu Meixue was silent for a moment, then went to help the man. She called out to him, but her heart was moved by the scene. She thought of how Li Yaoguang had gone north alone to seek her help. She felt sorry for him and looked at her husband and children. "Su Lang, Guang Jie, we have to go south eventually. Why don't we take them with us? It's on the way anyway. What do you think?"

What are they looking at? It's obvious that her aunt wants to take her away.
