The reason why Shao Xi agreed to Lu Rover's request was because the situation was different from three days ago.
At that time, Shao Xi thought that Lu Rover just wanted to leave the child to him and face the bullying from Li Ermazi and other bandits alone in the future.
To some extent, Shao Xi felt that it would be extremely irresponsible for Land Rover to do this.
When facing a problem, instead of thinking about how to solve it, you want to leave your child to others to take care of you. This is completely self-defeating.
But things are different now. Shao Xi knows that Lu Hu has the ability and ideas to solve problems, but he has concerns and worries, so when he hands Lu Yunxiang to him now, the meaning of the whole thing becomes different.
Shao Xi knew very well what he wanted to do, and he also knew that Lu Yunxiang must not witness what he did again.
But as a businessman, Sun Lichang did not fully understand this.
"Shopkeeper Lu, since things have reached this point, why do you have to stay alone? Why don't you take this child and leave with us!
"If Shopkeeper Lu is willing, our Taihe Trading Company is willing to ask Shopkeeper Lu to be the leader of our caravan guard. In the future, we can also recommend Shopkeeper Lu to the Daliang Head Office in Kyoto to be the general manager of our Taihe Trading Company's caravan guard.
"With Shopkeeper Lu's ability, you and your son can live a stable and prosperous life from now on, so why bother to stay and fight to the death with those bandits?"
Sun Lichang's idea is actually a solution to the problem. Now that Land Rover has killed so many horse bandits, the Yesha Gang will never let it go.
Everyone could also see that Lu Hu planned to entrust Lu Yunxiang to the caravan and stay alone to settle the grudges with the Yesha Gang.
But Sun Lichang thinks this is completely unnecessary. If we can't afford to offend him, why can't we hide?
The father and son left this place together with the caravan. Taihe Trading Company can provide Lu Rover with a job to make a living, and also hire a master for Taihe Trading Company. This is a win-win solution for both parties. What's the point? What if you don't?
Although Sun Lichang has been leading caravans for many years, he is still just a businessman, not a member of the world. His understanding of the grievances and grievances in the world is much worse than that of Lu Rover.
When he finished saying this, Shao Xi, Lao Wu and Lu Lu all shook their heads at the same time, and even Sun Poyun, who was standing behind Aria, also shook his head.
This made Sun Lichang feel confused for a while. I don't know why these people all have a negative attitude towards the method he proposed?
In the end, it was Lao Wu who gave the answer.
"Shopkeeper Sun, you think it's easy! Now that Shopkeeper Lu has killed so many horse bandits, this matter has become a grievance in the world, and people in the world have their own way of resolving their grievances.
"Although Shopkeeper Lu has withdrawn from the world for many years, he was once a member of the world, and the other party was also a member of the world. There is no end to the grudges between people in the world.
"Even if, as you said, the father and son left together with the caravan, do you think the Yesha Gang will give up if they can't find them here? If they can't find anyone here, they will definitely look around and hunt down these people. To father and son.
"And there are dozens of people in our caravan carrying so much goods. No matter how fast we travel, we will never be faster than those horse bandits chasing us. In the end, when our caravan is caught up by the Yesha Gang, it will inevitably lead to another battle. A bloody fight.
"I won't say whether the father and son can leave safely by then. I'm afraid that our caravan will not be able to escape unscathed. Shopkeeper Lu made this decision because he was afraid of injuring us. He not only wanted to resolve his grudges with the Yesha Gang, but also wanted to hold the Yesha Gang back. Sha Gang, buy us time to leave.
"Selfishly speaking, Shopkeeper Lu hopes that we can take his son away from this place safely and escape the threat of these horse bandits. I think Shopkeeper Lu is already prepared to fight to the death.
"And if we are fully involved in this matter, it will violate the purpose of Taihe Commercial Bank's business and get involved in the disputes of the world. All we can help now is to take the child away. We can't do anything else."
After listening to Lao Wu's explanation, Sun Lichang also nodded silently.
In fact, when he made this decision, he was not without worries. Having been traveling for business all year round, he naturally knew how to mind his own business on the road. The safety of the goods was the top priority of the entire caravan.
It was just that after getting along with each other for the past few days, he felt extremely sympathetic to what happened to the father and son, so he had the idea of getting lucky.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed what Lao Wu said. If the father and son are really taken away together, it will only lead to the pursuit of horse bandits.
Not to mention whether it can help the father and son, the first thing is to cause trouble for his caravan.
Originally, the caravan had avoided the horse bandits. If it had intervened in this matter, wouldn't it have truly become the horse bandits' enemies? The Yesha Gang will never let the caravan go.
As the shopkeeper of Taihe Trading Company, he naturally puts the responsibilities of Taihe Trading Company first. From this, it seems that Lu Rover's stay is inevitable.
Sun Lichang couldn't help but sigh. He really wanted to help Lu Hu and Lu Yunxiang from the bottom of his heart, but at the moment it seemed that the only thing he could do was to take Lu Yunxiang away for Lu Hu. As for the rest, he really couldn't help.
But when Lu Yunxiang heard these adults discussing this matter, he immediately became anxious.
"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere! I want to be with my father. My father killed these horse bandits because of me. Now, no matter how big the disaster is, I have to face it together with my father.
"I will never leave alone and leave my father here alone. None of you can try to separate me from my father!"
Lu Yunxiang's performance was as expected by everyone. A group of people discussed how to take him away from his father in front of the child. No child would be able to accept it.
What's more, now that his father is facing such a big crisis, how can he abandon his father so easily?
But everyone also knows that if this child is not taken away, he will become Lu Rover's biggest burden. How can he fight the enemy wholeheartedly when he is worried about him?
Lu Yunxiang is his biggest weakness. If Sha Hu of the Yesha Gang uses Lu Yunxiang to deal with Lu Hu, the father and son will become more dangerous.
Originally, when Land Rover stayed, he was facing many enemies, which was extremely dangerous. If he had this child next to him, the situation would be even more worrying.
To put it bluntly, even if the Land Rover was no match for these horse bandits, it would be easier to escape alone, but with Lu Yunxiang there would be no chance of survival.
Everyone knows this truth, but no one can say it to Lu Yunxiang. After all, he is his own father. Why do you forcefully separate his father and son?
Your child doesn't want to go with you. It's only natural that he wants to be with his father. Even if they know that there is no benefit to him staying, no one can persuade him.
The only person who can solve this problem is Land Rover.
Lu Hu turned around and pulled Lu Yunxiang in front of him. He looked at Lu Yunxiang from head to toe several times, his eyes full of pity and love.
"Yunxiang, listen to dad and leave with these benefactors. They will take good care of you. With their care, dad will feel relieved. What dad wants to do cannot take you with him.
"Although Dad knows that you are reluctant to leave Dad, if you follow Dad, both you and my son will be in danger. If you are not with me, I will not be worried in my heart, and I will not have to distract myself from taking care of you. This way It’s good for dad and you.
"If you are willful and refuse to leave, you will only harm us, father and son. You are a sensible child, and I think you understand what dad said.
"Don't worry, kid! Dad promises you that after solving these things, he will catch up with the caravan and leave here with you. Then we will take your mother and leave together, do you agree?"
When Lu Yunxiang heard Lu Hu's words, he cried "Wow". This child is sensible and obedient, but he is just a child after all.
Growing up, except when Land Rover went to Yulong Pass to purchase, he had never left his father.
He understood what Lu Rover told him, and he also understood that if he stayed, he would become a burden to his father, which would only harm both his father and himself.
But if he was really asked to leave Land Rover like this, how could a ten-year-old child accept it for a while?
What's more, their father and son parted ways today, and no one could say whether they would see each other again. Although Lu Lu said that he would catch up with the caravan after the matter was resolved, Lu Yunxiang also knew that those were just Lu Lu's words to comfort him.
He knew what kind of danger his father would face, but he could no longer argue because this was what his father had told him.
In order for his father to face the coming crisis with all his heart, he must let go of the reluctance in his heart. Only then can father and son have a chance to meet again.
Lu Yunxiang knelt down in front of Lu Hu, holding the father he had always hated and despised and crying loudly. Lu Hu raised his hand and gently stroked Lu Yunxiang's little head without any comfort.
He knew that this child would have to face his life alone from today on. He had to learn to be strong and face the unknown alone.
At this time, I must be cruel and teach this child to be strong for the last time.
Lu Hu suppressed the tears in his eyes and pulled Lu Yunxiang up. Looking at Lu Yunxiang who was crying in front of him, Lu Hu felt cruel and raised his hand to slap Lu Yunxiang.
This slap stunned everyone present and made Lu Yunxiang stop crying all of a sudden.
"Don't cry! From today on, you are an upright man. No matter how humble or cowardly you appear in front of others, your heart must be strong.
"Tears will only buy sympathy from others, but never respect from others. Remember to learn how to protect the people around you from now on, and don't be like dad who didn't even take care of your mother and you. Do you understand? "
Lu Yunxiang raised his little face with a slap mark, looked at Lu Hu intently for a long time, and finally nodded firmly to Lu Hu.
"Dad, don't worry! From today on, I will be a man. I will definitely learn my skills and let Yunxiang protect you in the future."
Lu Hu nodded happily, raised his hand and gently touched Lu Yunxiang's red face. Even though he felt reluctant and helpless at this time, he could only let it go.
He turned to Shao Xi and Sun Lichang, clasping his fists and cupping his hands, and said, "Since Mr. Shao and Shopkeeper Sun have agreed to my request, let's pack our bags and hit the road without further ado!
"This matter cannot be delayed for too long. Once the Yesha Gang arrives here, it will be difficult to leave. Lu thanked Mr. Shao and Shopkeeper Sun again. You should leave quickly!"
After speaking, Lu Hu pushed Lu Yunxiang in front of Shao Xi. Shao Xi put his hand on Lu Yunxiang's shoulder and nodded to Sun Lichang.
Sun Lichang quickly called the porters and guards of the caravan, and together they loaded all the goods behind the house onto the camels, leaving only one camel for Land Rover.
Although they know that Land Rover may not be useful, everyone still retains a glimmer of hope.
After everyone was busy, they were finally ready to set off. Sun Lichang waved his hand, and the entire caravan set off again to leave the oasis and continue heading west.
Shao Xi and Sun Lichang bowed their hands to Lu Hu and said nothing more. It would be superfluous to say anything at this time.
Only Lao Wu stepped forward again, patted Lu Rover on the shoulder, and finally said: "Don't forget that your son is waiting for you in front. You can't force anything. Being able to escape smoothly is also a skill."
Lu Hu understood what Lao Wu meant, bowed his hands in front of Lao Wu and said, "Junior, thank you for the guidance, senior. I will remember what senior said."
Old Wu nodded, turned around and sat on the camel and shouted. The camel got up and carried Old Wu towards the direction of the camel team.
Fu Biao, Wu Qiu'er, Sun Poyun, Aria and others also rode on camels and left with Lao Wu. Only Shao Xi and Sun Lichang were not in a hurry to leave, because at this time, Lu Yunxiang and Lu Hu had to make the final move. Say goodbye.
Lu Rover took out a pendant carved from animal teeth from his arms. There was a leather rope tied to the pendant, and he raised his hand and put it on Lu Yunxiang's neck.
He touched Lu Yunxiang's head again and didn't say anything more. He just said, "Go! Go to the front and wait for dad."
Lu Yunxiang stared at his big eyes, held back tears and nodded: "Dad, I'm waiting for you in front. You should catch up quickly."
Lu Hu forced a smile, pinched Lu Yunxiang's face, nodded, pulled his body over, pushed him on the back, and pushed him in front of Shao Xi.
Shao Xi reached out and pulled Lu Yunxiang and they got on the camel and headed towards the direction of the caravan.
After walking a certain distance, Lu Yunxiang couldn't help but lean out from Shao Xi's body and turned to look in the direction of his original home, only to see Lu Hu still standing there watching their leaving figures from a distance.
It wasn't until Shao Xi and others completely disappeared from Lu Hu's sight that Lu Hu's tears burst out of his eyes. He looked in the direction where his son left for a while, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face with his sleeve, and turned back. Inn.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the inn, Lu Lu showed a smile that was both happy and bitter. There were his memories and his reluctance here.
He came to the table and put two scimitars on the table. He picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of coarse grain wine. He reached out to grab the stewed mutton in the basin and started eating and drinking the meat one bite at a time.
He knew that this might be his last meal in this life.
