A fire has been lit outside the pavilion and a hot pot has been set up. Several women in simple clothes and headscarves are busy cooking food.
Before the exile team even got closer, they could smell the aroma of food.
They had traveled for a long time and now they were hungry, cold and tired. They just wanted to sit down and eat something hot.
Seeing those pots set up, Mrs. Liu and others were as excited as hungry dogs seeing meat and bones. Before the official could say anything, they swarmed up after smelling the smell.
"Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" Lu Peichang couldn't wait to jump off the servant woman's back.
If he hadn't been used to being served, the moment he saw the food, he would have rushed to grab it instead of waiting for it to be delivered to him like a young master.
"Why is it porridge! Can porridge be enough? We have traveled so long, why can't we cook something good?"
"How can these few pots of porridge be shared by so many of us! This is too little!"
"What's in this? It's just a few pieces of meat. It's not even as good as what I used to feed my dog. How can anyone eat this!"
The people of the Lu family used to be well-dressed and meticulous in everything they ate and drank. Such rough things were simply unacceptable.
The women who were cooking the porridge were pushed away and stood beside them in embarrassment. They didn't expect that the hot porridge they were cooking would be disliked like this.
Mr. Lu Er frowned when he saw the pots of porridge stewed with vegetables and meat, which didn't look very good.
No wonder people say that the conditions on the exile road were not good. Sure enough, there should be no luck. What they were given was pig food!
Although they are dissatisfied, these are the only foods they can eat right now. Without eating, they will not be able to support their non-stop journey in the afternoon.
It's just that it's really missing a little bit.
Master Lu immediately turned to Mrs. Lu, who had not yet approached, and said, "Ms. Yang, we will eat these pots of porridge on a first-come, first-served basis. Do you have any objections? Since the clan has been eliminated, we will not share the food with you. Solve it yourself!”
This is not a discussion, this is a notification.
It seemed as if they expected that there would be a large number of people here and they didn't dare to compete with them.
Madam Lu almost laughed at Mr. Lu Er's shamelessness. Why didn't she know these people could be so shameless before?
"Sister-in-law, are they taking advantage of the large number of people to bully us?" The little girl Lu Sining was very angry when she refused to give them food.
Song Mingyuan asked: "If so, what would you do?"
Lu Sining was furious, and Xiao Naiyin said fiercely: "Then Ning Ning will throw a few handfuls of sand into the pot and prevent us from eating it, and no one will want to eat it!"
Yes, she was not disappointed.
Song Mingyuan laughed.
The conversation between the two people did not mean to avoid Mr. Lu Er at all. Hearing such blatant words, Mr. Lu Er was very angry.
"How dare you! To be so vicious at such a young age is like being out of alignment! If it weren't for the sake of you asking to be exterminated, I would have to teach you a lesson based on the clan rules!"
"If you dare to act so arrogantly, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship of being a kinsman and showing it to you!"
With her sister-in-law by her side, Lu Sining was very brave and not afraid of him at all. She made a face, made a few noises, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!"
"You..." Mr. Lu Er was so angry that his hands were shaking slightly. His old yellow eyes stared at Lu Sining with an angry look on his face.
Isn't it just a matter of urgency?
Song Mingyuan sneered.
Although she doesn't care about such a small amount of food, it doesn't mean that others can take it without permission.
"Ning Ning is right, if we are not allowed to eat, then we won't be able to eat any of them."
The truth is told to reasonable people. When faced with unreasonable people, of course you have to be even more unreasonable than them.
The two sides are at war with each other, and neither side is willing to give in.
At this moment, the women who were cooking porridge came over.
The first round-faced woman looked at Mr. Lu Er with a somewhat unkind look: "Master, I think you have misunderstood something. These porridges are specially prepared for the old lady, not for the old lady." You prepared it.”
They were villagers from nearby villages. As soon as they heard the news, they rushed over as quickly as possible and used the little time left to do what they could.
The purpose was to have a sip of the hot porridge cooked by Mrs. Lu and her party when they passed by.
When they heard that Mr. Lu Er wanted to take over, they were extremely angry. Moreover, they actually dared to exterminate the old lady from the clan!
For a moment, everyone waiting in the Fengyu Pavilion glared at Mr. Lu Er.
Mr. Lu Er couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Isn't this porridge prepared for us?"
Didn’t those officials say that they could rest and eat when they arrived at Fengyu Pavilion? If this porridge is not their food, then where is their food?
At this time, the official in the pavilion threw a bucket of cold black cornstarch out: "Here is your food. Take it, two per person. If you are caught taking more, you will be whipped!"
Master Lu Er was dumbfounded when he saw the shit-like things they had randomly thrown into the snow.
He pointed at the black nest tremblingly, staring, his old cheeks twitching faintly: "You, you just let us eat this?"
The Lu family members were all dumbfounded. They thought they were eating that pot of unappetizing porridge, but they were told that what they were eating were black lumps that were worse than porridge? !
Is this definitely something humans can eat?
Officials are not used to them: "If you like to eat, you will be thrown down if you don't!"
I really thought that I was still a superior man, and it would be nice to feed them some!
The officer looked back at the villagers in the pavilion and softened his expression: "Ms. Yao, if you have anything, please give it away immediately. After delivering it, leave as soon as possible. You can't stay here too long."
Aunt Yao knew that Deng Liang would let them wait here, so she made an exception for the sake of friendship with the villagers and did not embarrass him.
He quickly picked up the basket of eggs he had prepared, greeted everyone to get their things, walked out of the pavilion and came to Mrs. Lu.
"Old lady..."
Seeing the people we once looked up to now reduced to this situation, everyone feels very uncomfortable.
The women's eyes turned red before they said anything: "Old lady, the Lu family has protected us lowly people from being able to live in peace and quiet. Now that the Lu family is in trouble, we can't do anything for you. This is what I have saved for you." Eggs, these are the only ones in the house that are still valuable, old lady, don’t dislike them, just take them on the road and eat them, the people have not forgotten you.”
An old lady who was over seventy years old was carrying her three-year-old grandson, and behind her were her son and daughter-in-law who were holding things.
"Old lady, these are the cotton-padded clothes that the villagers bought for themselves for the winter. When I heard that you would pass by here, I hurriedly dug them out and asked me to bring them over. The road is long and mountainous, and the weather is freezing. Dress up, but don't freeze. We are all looking forward to you coming back with the little generals. You must be safe. You must go safely and come back safely. Everyone is waiting, everyone is waiting, you must Remember to come back!”
The old man had tears in his eyes and his voice choked up as he spoke.
When the Lu family was falsely accused of treason, Mrs. Lu never shed tears. She was accused by thousands of people of being a traitor to the country, but Mrs. Lu remained strong. Even if she was stabbed in the back by her clan members, she gritted her teeth and endured.
But now, looking at the innocent faces, she burst into tears and couldn't stop them.
Several ladies were also choked with sobs and their throats were blocked.
What else can the Lu family promise their people now?
