Of course, Xia Yao's guilty conscience could not be hidden from Lu Jing.
But Lu Jing also gave up his intention to find out Xia Yao's details. In the final analysis, Xia Yao did not pose a threat to him. On the contrary, Xia Yao and him had formed an alliance. The cooperation between the two was enough to withstand the coming crisis.
Lu Jing's eyes changed for a while, and finally he didn't speak anymore, but returned to the room alone.
The two little ones left, Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian, plus Xia Yao, all looked at his back.
"Second uncle is a little strange." Lu Changbai whispered.
He is not very old, but he has long learned to read people's faces due to the warmth and coldness of human relationships. He saw the change in Lu Jing's expression just now.
Seeing Lu Changbai's worried look, Xia Yao rolled his eyes angrily, and then pinched Lu Changbai's face: "You don't learn well at a young age! Why should you worry about him?"
Lu Changbai's face was pinched, and he retorted vaguely to Xia Yao: "You don't know! The second uncle is the most pitiful! We all need to pay more attention to the second uncle!"
"Okay, okay." Xia Yao reluctantly let go of his hand, "I know he is pitiful, but if you and Xiaobao don't sleep, you will be even more pitiful tomorrow with swollen eyes!"
"Auntie." Lu Changbai suddenly grabbed Xia Yao's hand, pleading in his big eyes, "Please help my second uncle! My second uncle is very kind!"
Lu Jing could have left at the beginning. He knew that he and his sister were both dragsters. If it weren't for the two of them, his second uncle would definitely not stay here and suffer.
As Lu Changbai spoke, mist formed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shed tears. He was very pitiful.
Xia Yao secretly despised her soft-heartedness, but she couldn't be hard-hearted towards Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian, the two people whom the original owner had really owed. She could only clear her throat: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you." Second uncle’s.”
Facing Lu Changbai's suspicious look, Xia Yao rolled his eyes again: "Your second uncle and I are husband and wife. Do you know what husband and wife are?"
"Even if he is good to me, I will be unlucky if he mistreats me. In order to live a good life, I will definitely be good to him." Xia Yao patted Lu Changbai's little head, "Just let go of one hundred and twenty Be careful!"
"Okay!" Xia Yao said, pushing Lu Changbai into the room, "Go to sleep!"
Lu Changbai nodded thoughtfully. Before he could speak, he saw the door being closed. Xia Yao had already hugged Lu Tiantian, and their footsteps gradually disappeared next door.
His eyes rolled around, and under the dim moonlight, he stared at Lu Jing with bright eyes: "Second uncle, you and aunt are really..."
"Sleep." Lu Jing carried Lu Changbai to bed without saying a word.
Lu Changbai was afraid of his cold face, so he only dared to think about it in his heart and never dared to ask again.
He was young, so as soon as he got into bed, even though he had many questions in his mind, he fell asleep after a while.
Lu Jing looked at his slightly fleshy little face, thinking of Xia Yao's words, his eyes became complicated again.
It's just that he really doesn't want to have too much communication with Xia Yao. As soon as Xia Yao turns his eyes, countless clever ideas appear.
The room fell silent, and the sound from next door became apparent at this moment.
In the next room, Xia Yao patted Lu Tiantian on the back, speaking softly and telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
Lu Tiantian was very excited today. Normally, she would fall asleep before Xia Yao finished telling a story, but today, even though Xia Yao was telling the story that she was most interested in, she didn't pay much attention to it.
She held Xia Yao's arm and stared at Xia Yao with her big almond eyes.
"Auntie, will you always stay with me?"
Hearing these words, Xia Yao was stunned.
Seeing that Xia Yao didn't answer, Lu Tiantian's bright eyes dimmed instantly.
"Auntie, is it what you told Grandma Liu? You will go back to the city and don't want us anymore."
Who is Grandma Liu? Nonsense!
Xia Yao gritted his teeth in his heart, but placed his hand on Lu Tiantian's face very gently.
"Don't worry, aunt will not abandon you."
"I will always stay with you."
As long as Lu Jing was willing, she had no other ideas.
Where to go? It's better to stay here and live with these two little cuties.
After hearing Xia Yao's words, Lu Tiantian's eyes that had just dimmed suddenly lit up: "Really?"
"Really!" Xia Yao nodded, "As long as you don't dislike me or drive me away, I will always stay with you."
"Tiantian will not drive aunt away!" Lu Tiantian shook her head quickly, "No one can drive aunt away! If anyone drives you away! Tiantian will go with you!"
As her name suggests, Lu Tiantian is a real sweet girl who is soft-spoken even if she says harsh things.
Xia Yao looked at her, her heart softening into a ball of cotton.
"Okay." She kissed Lu Tiantian on the face, "With Tiantian's words, I feel relieved."
The two of them whispered this, completely unaware that Lu Jing had heard the entire conversation.
In the small room, Lu Jing looked at the broken beams above his head under the faint moonlight, and what always sounded in his mind was Xia Yao's words.
"I will always stay with you."
Lu Jing's eyes flashed, and unknown emotions gradually spread in his heart.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Jing went out at dawn.
This time, his destination is still the back mountain.
However, he clearly felt that there were a few more little tails on his back.
He knew that in addition to the Tian family, there were people in the brigade who had been monitoring his whereabouts. The Tian family found nothing for three consecutive times, and the people hiding in the dark finally couldn't help but show their feet.
He just pretended that he didn't notice the tail following him and walked back up the mountain on his own.
Liu Jie followed Lu Jing cautiously, paying attention to her steps at all times, for fear that Lu Jing would find her trace by accident.
But what Liu Jie didn't expect was that she was following Lu Jing, and there was another one following her.
As soon as Xia Yao got up, he found Lu Jing going up the mountain alone.
Normally, she would not take the initiative to follow him, but who knew that she found Liu Jie at the end of the village following Lu Jing.
Liu Jie works in a textile factory in the county town. She usually leaves for the county town early in the morning, but today she ignored her work and followed Lu Jing.
In an instant, Xia Yao thought of many things.
She thought of the family affairs that Aunt Guihua had mentioned before - Liu Jie seemed to have had a relationship with a worker in the county town, and it was at the critical moment when they were discussing marriage.
After all, Liu Jie is one of the most outstanding juniors in the Qingshui Brigade. She is so good, why is she following Lu Jing? It was difficult for Xia Yao not to associate Liu Jie with the group of people in the county who were eyeing the Lu family.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao had already stepped out of the house.
Seeing that Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian were still sleeping soundly, she immediately followed them.
Lu Jing is in the front, Liu Jie is in the middle, and Xia Yao is in the back.
The three of them went up the back mountain together.
