Chapter 272: Clear Heart and Sweet Finishing
Ji Mo suddenly realized his own feelings at this moment. He felt helpless and relieved, but more importantly, he was determined.
Since she is the person I have chosen, whether good or bad, it all depends on her. In order to save her from shock, from suffering, from being helpless, from wandering around, and from being plotted against, I can only take her under my wings and shield her from all the storms.
Ji Mo suddenly realized at this moment, and his mood suddenly became brighter and he made up his mind. When he turned around to look at the embarrassed person, there was a smile in his eyes that he himself could not detect.
After hearing the words from his father and brother, Li Yaoguang's eyes lit up, and he responded with an "ah", immediately leading the two pets who disliked each other to follow.
Seeing Da Yao approaching, Ji Mo retracted his gaze, hid his smile, walked forward happily, and bowed to Da Yao.
"My name is Ji Yizhi. Nice to meet you, brother. May I know your name? Thank you for taking care of my daughter Yaoguang these days. Yizhi would like to express his gratitude."
Seeing Li Yaoguang begging for mercy, Da Yao subconsciously came to protect him, but was caught off guard by Ji Mo as soon as they met.
He glanced at his little benefactor who was following him obediently with a smile on his face. Even though Gao Dayao was a rough man, he couldn't use violence in this situation when facing the polite Ji Mo.
Moreover, he felt that the man in front of him was not simple after just one encounter. He, the tall youngest, dared to use his more than ten years of military experience to guarantee that the man in front of him, although young, was definitely a martial artist! In addition, the other party was polite and courteous, and it was not difficult to hear that he cared about protecting his benefactor in his words. The eldest youngest naturally understood and hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed in return.
"I am Gaodayao, meeting Brother Ji. Brother Ji is polite."
"Haha, Brother Gao, you're too polite. My Yaoguang has caused you a lot of trouble these days, right?"
"No, no, brother Ji, you are not right. Our entire village is grateful to the young master for his help. If it weren't for the young master's help, I'm afraid we would have died of starvation or thirst. Everyone praises the young master as a lucky star."
"Oh? You even praised her as a lucky star?"
Ji Mo nodded with amusement at someone beside him who was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig his head on the ground after hearing the title of Little Lucky Star.
Gao Dayao was unaware of this and continued to praise.
"That's right, brother Ji, don't disbelieve me. When we were looking for water ahead..." blah blah...
Li Yaoguang: I didn’t feel that way before, but now that she is praised in front of me, she feels so ashamed!
Her reaction made Ji Mo happy.
Gao Dayao, however, likes people who are straightforward. The handsome brother Ji in front of him has a good attitude, speaks frankly and is sincere. After a conversation, he finds that he is surprisingly compatible with his temperament.
In addition, the other party was his benefactor and close relative, so the slight guard that Gao Dayao had just raised disappeared in an instant, and he immediately had a very pleasant conversation with Ji Mo, telling him everything he knew. However, he didn't know that a certain black-bellied guy was deliberately guiding the direction of their conversation.
"Brother Gao, thank you for your compliment."
"No, no, no, I'm not flattering you, brother Ji. You don't know. Let's not talk about the harvest we got when we went back to the mountain. Just look at what's happening right now. Look at what everyone in the yard is carrying and counting. They were all found by the young master and the cat. I'm tall and rough, but I never lie."
Ji Mo followed Gao Dayao into the yard and glanced calmly at the things that Gao Dayao and his party took out from the secret cellar. After seeing the things clearly, his heart tightened at first. He turned back and glared at the careless Li Yaoguang, feeling a headache.
Li Yaoguang's neck shrank when she was glared at, and she continued to act obedient and timid, silently comforting herself in her heart, saying that her father and brother were being mean to her because they cared about her, and that they were being mean to her because they really cared about her and treated her as a family member. She couldn't let her father and brother down, so she just had to put up with him, and it was rare for her to be obedient and coax the two pets. Seeing this, Ji Mo was both angry and amused.
At that moment, the last sack in the secret cellar was taken out, and there was nothing left inside. Xiao Yao and the others jumped out to report. Seeing the sudden appearance of a man and a wolf, everyone was confused, but since the boss didn't say anything, everyone naturally didn't say anything. They just looked at them from head to toe and guessed.
Upon seeing this, Gao Dayao pointed to Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo to explain and introduce them. Everyone knew that the visitors were actually the young master's relatives who came to look for the young master. They all clasped their fists and bowed, sighing that it was really a coincidence.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Gao Dayao hurriedly spoke to Ji Mo while pointing to the small mountain of grain piled in the yard.
"Brother Ji, Jincheng is not safe. Since you are here, how do you deal with what the young master found today? Where do you need us to send them to?"
Ji Mo was surprised, looking at Gao Dayao who was in front of him with no trace of reluctance in his eyes. In his heart, he secretly praised him as a gentleman and sighed that the little girl's ability to make friends was not bad.
But there are so many sacks... Ji Mo is having a headache again.
The little girl is really bold and fearless. She doesn't even think about it carefully. In Jincheng, which is like a deserted city, there is such a small secret cellar, which is also in the civilian area. How could such high-quality sacks for filling grain appear here?
It was because these people in front of her were loyal and righteous, and they believed in her from the bottom of their hearts without much doubt, otherwise...
"Huh..." Ji Mo took a deep breath and comforted himself that fortunately there was a branch in Jincheng and the situation was not beyond repair. He hurriedly talked to Gao Dayao.
"Brother Gao, brothers, my Yaoguang is kind-hearted and would like to repay even the smallest kindness with all her might. Since Yaoguang led you to find these supplies on purpose, they are for you. Why should I take them back? Besides, we are all from Dajing. You brothers have shed blood for Dajing, defended the country, and fought bloody battles with the Hu Di. What is a mere grain of food? Brother Gao, just take it. If these are not enough, I have a stronghold in the south of the city with food and medicine. I will lead you there, and you can take whatever is in it. It is a token of my and Yaoguang's kindness to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Dayao and his group were all stunned.
Why don't they understand the implicit meaning of this sentence?
Gao Xiaoyao was smart enough to think about it for a long time, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head to connect all the dots, then he excitedly clapped his hands.
"Ah, I see. According to what Brother Ji meant, it turns out that these are not the supplies that Cat Smart brought us to find, but that this is where your family hid, Mr. Xiao! Mr. Xiao is kind and righteous. He was concerned about us not having enough food, so he deliberately exposed it to us in the name of Cat before leaving?"
Everyone: Oh my God, is this true?
When everyone looked at the sacks of grain in front of them, they found that they were the same as the ones they had found before. They immediately realized what was going on and believed it without a doubt.
No wonder they couldn't find the food at the beginning, and only the benefactor, Mr. Xiao, could find it. It turns out that he hid it himself. No wonder.
After realizing what was going on, a group of mighty nine-foot-tall men, led by Gao Dayao, were moved and knelt on one knee in front of Li Yaoguang, clasped their hands together, and bowed deeply.
"We are waiting for Brother Xie Ji and Mr. Xie Xiao to show their righteousness."
If it were only for their own benefit, they would not want to seize other people's things, but for the sake of the thousands of lives they left behind, they could only bear the guilt.
