"I'm talking nonsense? What nonsense did I say? How dare you say you're not ungrateful? When you need people, you let them risk their lives for you, but when you don't need them, you covet their food. What? Are you afraid that they won't starve to death?" Lin San has always been very eloquent, and he scolded these people so much that they felt guilty and didn't dare to talk back.
"Who wants to starve him to death? Who? Stop talking nonsense here!" The woman shouted angrily, looking like someone had hit the nail on the head, feeling extremely guilty.
Lin San was not someone to be trifled with. "I'm talking about you. If it weren't for this boss protecting you, do you think you guys could have made it this far? I'm afraid you would have been gnawed to pieces by others! Your own child is crying with hunger, but you don't even want to give him a bite of food. Yet you're only thinking about other people's things. How can you be so self-righteous?"
Tang Qiyue, who was in the dilapidated temple, listened to the verbal battle outside and couldn't help but hold his forehead. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have such a good talker in the team.
"Boss, since these people want your food and want to starve you to death, you should listen to my advice and escape on your own. Don't protect them. They might eat you when they run out of food. After all, you can't beat this group alone."
Lin San sincerely advised, but he didn't know whether the other party would listen or not. He had no choice but to look at the helpless Boss Xu, and he remembered the time when he and Boss Hu were bullied when they first fled from famine.
When the others heard this, they immediately became restless. This was unacceptable. They only wanted food and didn't want to offend anyone. The road to escape the famine was still so far. How could they go on without Boss Xu?
Boss Xu saw the panic in everyone's eyes, and his eyes were full of disappointment. It was in vain that he had protected these people all the way.
Without saying a word, he dumped the backpack on the ground, and the food immediately spilled all over the ground.
Everyone looked over, their eyes widened. Where was the food in there? No! There was only dried sweet potatoes and two small pieces of brown rice. The only other things were a chopping knife and two conspicuous tablets.
Even Tang Qiyue couldn't help but tremble her eyes.
"This..." The noisy quarrel suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of swallowing saliva. They had never thought that this was the case...
The woman who was making the most noise was trembling all over; she was in trouble.
"If you want it, just take it." Boss Xu squatted down and held his parents' tablets in his arms, then picked up the axe next to him and put it into the empty backpack.
Lin San stuffed the unfinished dried meat into his arms, ignored the eager looks of the children, clapped his hands and said, "You, you...Alas!" He looked as if he was disappointed in his children, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Tang Qiyue knew it was her turn to make her debut. She handed Zhao Bao, who was playing with her hair, to Lin and stepped forward and said, "Boss Xu."
When everyone saw Tang Qiyue coming out, they were confused. Then when they heard what Tang Qiyue said, they suddenly panicked.
Boss Xu looked up at Tang Qiyue and asked, "What's the matter?" He couldn't figure out what Tang Qiyue wanted to talk to him about.
Tang Qiyue glanced at the others who were in a panic, and said word by word, "Since you have protected a group of ungrateful people, why not join our team?"
It was a blatant poaching. Lin San widened his eyes in surprise. What was going on?
"What?" Boss Xu stood up in surprise and looked at Tang Qiyue in disbelief. He was just thinking about how to go next. Should he go into the mountains alone without food? Anyway, he would not protect those people anymore. Who knows...
"No." The woman who was about to admit her mistake immediately spoke out to stop her when she heard Tang Qiyue's words.
No, absolutely not! What will they do without Boss Xu?
Tang Qiyue glanced at her and said, "You pushed Boss Xu out and didn't let anyone else take him with you. What? Do you want him to die on this road?"
The woman choked and rolled her eyes as she said, "If you want to take Boss Xu with you, you have to take all of us with you! Otherwise, we don't agree that Boss Xu will go with you!" If they followed this group of people, they could live in a dilapidated temple and not go hungry. Didn't they see the man next to them gnawing on some delicious dried meat?
Tang Qiyue was amused by the shameless words, "Take you guys with me? How can you be so shameless?" After making a sarcastic remark, she looked at Boss Xu and continued to ask, "I'll give you some time to think about it, there's no rush."
Having said that, the determination in Tang Qiyue's eyes was too strong to ignore.
As expected, the moment she finished speaking, Boss Xu came over, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Tang, I, Xu Fang, am willing to join you."
He could see that the young woman in front of him was capable, so why not give it a try.
"Very good." Tang Qiyue nodded with satisfaction.
"Boss Xu!"
"Boss Xu, you can't do this." The group of people behind Boss Xu who were protecting him called out to him anxiously.
Boss Xu turned around with a calm expression, "It's been so long. I've protected you for so long, it's time to let you go! We were all gathered together temporarily, and now is just the time to return to normal."
"No, how can we go without you?" An old man in the crowd leaned on a stick, looking annoyed, "We were wrong, Boss Xu, you can't abandon us."
Lin San curled his lips as he looked at the old man with tears in his eyes. Why didn't he stand up to stop the group of people bullying him just now? Why is he so anxious now that no one is protecting him?
Bah! Hypocrisy!
"Uncle Chen, you don't have to admit your mistakes to me. I have made up my mind. You guys can do whatever you want."
"Boss Xu!"
"Don't go, if you want to go, you have to take us with you, what should we do?"
Their response was the dilapidated temple door that was shut tightly.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't coveted Boss Xu's food, we wouldn't be in this situation now!" Several men stared at the woman who was the first to cause trouble, their eyes red.
"What does this have to do with me? How dare you say that you are not thinking about the food?" The woman looked as if it was none of her business.
Everyone looked at the food on the ground, which was not even enough for one person, and felt very regretful.
"You are the one who caused this. I will teach you a lesson today for your foul mouth."
So the man couldn't do anything, so all his wives stood up and beat the woman severely, causing her to wail continuously.
At this time, Boss Xu in the dilapidated temple was very nervous. Facing the unfamiliar faces, he could only remain silent.
Lin San came over and said, "From now on, you are a member of our team. This is our Boss Hu, and this is our Second Boss."
Tang Qiyue, who was called the second eldest sister, gritted her teeth. She wanted to sew up her broken mouth!
Boss Hu quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't move now. Miss Tang is our boss." His words were agreed by everyone, and Lin San could only shut up.
Tang Qiyue handed her own kettle to Xu Fang, "Have a drink of water."
