On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 15 Protect our heroine! Kill!

The scumbag dad still comes to ask for money.

When Grandmother Li saw Father Li looking at her with resentment and his neck stiffened, she really didn't know what to say.

After a day's journey, Grandmother Li was already old and although she had been in good health before, she was still physically injured after fleeing from famine for more than half a month.

Not to mention that Mr. Li was a scumbag and an unfilial son who had no regard for family affection at all, which made Grandmother Li both physically and mentally hurt.

Li Wangming signaled to Grandmother Li that she didn't need to stand up. He stood up and said to Father Li in a cold voice, "Brother, what are you doing here again?
The divorce agreement has been signed and the belongings have been divided. Why did my elder brother come looking for me again?

After a long day of traveling, my mother is already exhausted. As a son, my brother should be more filial and stop bothering me."

Every word Li Wangming said sounded right, but every word was accusing Li's father of not being a good son.

Father Li, who had not yet opened his mouth to say a word, was rendered speechless by Li Wangming's retort.

At this moment, except for Grandmother Li who was still sitting, Mother Li, Li Shiyue, and Shitou who was following behind Li Wangming also stood up.

Even the mother and daughter of the Zheng family, who had been lying on the side for a long time, came over in their slippers. Zheng Mei Niang, who was already half blind, was supported by Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian on both sides. When she came over, she shouted, "Chun Niang!"

Seeing this, Li's mother hurried over to support Zheng Meiniang and said, "Sister, it's okay, don't worry."

Li Shiyue raised his eyes to look at Li's father, only to see that Li's father's face, which was originally full of resentment, suddenly smiled.

Father Li smiled and said to Li Wangming, "Wangming, I am your brother. Look at what you said. I am just worried about your mother.

I just came to see you. I haven't been with you guys all day, and I can't let it go, so I took this opportunity to come and see you."

Li Wangming is Li's father's biological brother. They have been working in the same pot since childhood. How could Li Wangming really not know what kind of person Li's father is?
Not to mention, what Li's father did last night was truly heartbreaking. Now that Li's father was smiling happily, how could Li Wangming believe him?

"Brother, you can see that mother is just tired and in urgent need of rest.

If you have filial piety, you have already read this, so just reply after reading it. "

With just two sentences, Li Wangming wanted to drive Li's father away. How could Li's father agree?

He came here tonight to get some benefits, but he hasn't achieved his goal yet, so how could he be willing to leave?

Father Li believed that as long as he said a few more soft words and shed a few tears, Grandmother Li, who had loved him for most of her life, would surely soften her heart, and he would be able to coax more money out of Grandmother Li.

Even though Grandmother Li gave the divided money bag directly to Mother Li, Father Li knew that Grandmother Li still had some private money.

The amount of that private money was no less than what was shared with him. It was accumulated when Grandfather Li was still alive. There might even be gold in it.

But before Li's father could speak, Li Shiyue heard a soft female voice calling out, "Wangguang, Wangguang, are you here?"

Qin Tao is here!

Li Shiyue saw Li Shigui walking towards his home holding a torch, and Qin Tao and Li Chunli walking hand in hand with him.

"Are you going to start acting again?
No, acting masters never get tired, do they?
After a whole day of traveling, I must be exhausted. How can I still have the energy to perform?"

Li Shiyue thought this in his heart, and walked towards Li's mother, and waved to Shi Tou who was standing behind Li Wangming.

Shitou was naturally obedient. When Li Shiyue waved his hand, Shitou turned around and walked towards Li's mother.

"Looking for the light. I was afraid that there would be no light when you came back, so I brought a torch to look for you."

Qin Tao explained gently to Father Li, and then nodded at Li Shigui and Li Chunli with her chin: "Brother Gui and Sister Li were worried that it would be inconvenient for me to walk alone, so they came with me."

When Father Li turned around and was about to say something to Qin Tao, he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp roar.

Li Shiyue looked towards the source of the sound. At this time, most of the people in Lijia Village had already extinguished their torches and went to sleep in the dark night with only a little moonlight. How could they see what was happening over there? "Ah! Help! Help! Boss! Boss!"

"Goudan! Goudan!"

"Mother! Mother!"

Amid the cries and shouts, someone suddenly shouted, "The refugees are coming! Get your weapons!"

Li Shiyue recognized that it was Li Shiyang who called out. After a pause, Li Shiyue turned around and went to the donkey cart. Li Wangming also reacted at this time. He knew what Li Shiyue was looking for by looking at her expression: "Shiyue, it's downstairs. I put it in the box after I used it this morning."

With Li Wangming's words, Li Shiyue immediately pulled out an axe from the wooden frames placed above and below the donkey cart.

Only after the Li family members saw the axe in Li Shiyue's hand did they react to the current situation.

Grandmother Li was anxiously trying to stand up, but the more anxious she was, the harder it was for her to get up. Li Wangming was anxious and wanted to go forward to help her, but Grandmother Li shouted at him, "The kitchen knife, the kitchen knife is in the rattan basket up there."

"Uncle, go get the kitchen knife. I'll help Aunt."

Mother Li grabbed Li Qiutian's hand, pulled her elder sister Zheng Meiniang's hand over and let it go, then turned around to help Grandmother Li.

Seeing that Grandmother Li was being taken care of, Li Wangming climbed onto the donkey cart to get the kitchen knife. Fortunately, he was tall, so he easily jumped up by clinging to the frame of the donkey cart. After taking the kitchen knife from the wicker basket, he jumped directly off the donkey cart.

At this moment, Li's mother had already supported Li's grandmother and Zheng's mother and daughter and stood together. Zheng Meiniang even held the butcher knife in her hand again.

Li Shiyue saw that Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian had no weapons, so she pulled out two thick branches she had picked up on the road from the donkey cart and said, "Sisters, take these to protect yourselves. Sisters, stand behind me. If someone comes, I'll take out the knife and you'll take out the stick. Sisters working together can break metal!"

The Li family members were already prepared to deal with the refugees, but Li's father and Qin Tao's family of three were dumbfounded. At this moment, Li Shigui was still standing there holding a torch as a target.

"You are stupid! Put out the fire!"

Li Shigui, who was originally at a loss, came back to his senses after hearing Li Shiyue's words. He quickly put the torch on the ground. Li Chunli was smart enough and grabbed the dirt on the ground and sprinkled it on the torch.

But the fire took too long to extinguish, and some refugees were already heading towards the fire.

"Haha, there's a nest here, and there's a little girl! Come on, brothers, let's work together and have fun!"

However, within a few breaths, without giving people time to react, those shirtless refugees had already run over here, and the leader who spoke first was actually holding a long knife!

The person closest to the refugees was Mr. Li, who was at the outermost edge. His immediate reaction was to directly grab Qin Tao beside him and push Qin Tao towards the refugees.

When the refugee saw that it was a delicate woman, he put away his knife and hugged Qin Tao from behind.

"Auntie!"

Li Chunli was eager to save her mother, so she ran towards Qin Tao despite the fact that she was powerless and had no weapon.

When Li Shiyue saw this scene, a grassland appeared in her heart. She finally understood why the task given by the system was to protect the heroine Li Chunli.

Why should I be responsible for the trouble caused by my scumbag father?

But action was faster than complaints. Li Shiyue threw the axe he had just received, which was not even warm in his hand, towards the refugee.

So, under everyone's incredulous gaze, the axe, which was as long as an adult man's forearm, hit the top of the forehead of the refugee holding the axe.

Qin Tao turned around and looked at the refugee's wide open and bloodshot eyes in amazement. A stream of blood spurted directly onto Qin Tao's face. The strong smell of blood filled her nostrils. Qin Tao was stunned for a moment, then she used all her strength to push the refugee away, and then a cry of "Ah" resounded between heaven and earth.
