For a moment, everyone shut up and hummed, lowered their heads and hurried on. They were really envious of the life of the Li Zheng family, but this kind of envy is not something that everyone can enjoy, so they should just live their lives like this.

Xiang Ci, who heard these remarks, also hurried away humming. When the villagers saw that they bought so many things, they thought it was the money earned by the third brother and Kaikai, which was good.

She had only been here for more than ten days and had not seen her third brother and Kaikai. She could only dig them out from her memory and recall them.

Every parent wants their children to be safe. Grandparents want it, parents want it, and family members want it, but the two children, Third Brother and Kaikai, don't want it.

They have the dream of sword fighting, so they have been fond of dancing with swords and guns since childhood. After going from the private school in the village to the academy in the town, they accidentally met the escort agency, and secretly transferred from the academy to the escort agency.

It was also a long journey, and there were no parent-teacher meetings. Apart from the two of them, there was no one in the village who was with them in the academy, so the fact that they went to the escort agency was not known to the whole family until three years later.

At that time, it was already impossible to bring them back.

They practice martial arts and act as escorts in the escort bureau. They live a fulfilling life and are as happy as gods. Even if they are injured and bleed, they are willing to do so.

In addition, Mr. Xiang was not the kind of unreasonable person. After an in-depth discussion, he determined that Third Brother and Kaikai liked this path, so he let them go for it.

The third brother and Kaikai are also on par with each other. They are good at martial arts, stable in escorting, and good-tempered. All the escorts in the escort agency like them, so they live a more relaxed life.

They like to be escorts, so they make a lot of money, and when they make money, they send it home.

Needless to say, the escort money the two of them earned was almost as much as a family could make in half a year. This allowed the family, which was stretched thin, to have enough money to eat, including meat and eggs, without any burden.

Xiang Ci didn't find out much. He hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and his face image was a little blurry.

Hey, family, we still have to be together, otherwise we will almost forget what each other looks like.

Going back to the village is more tiring than coming to the town, because everyone is carrying supplies, and now they rely not only on their legs, but also their entire back.

In the small basket on Xiang Ci's back, there were silver, a medicine bag, and ten pounds of salt. It wasn't much, but it was a lot for her.

Especially when walking around, the shoulder straps of the backpack rub against my shoulders, which makes me feel itchy and irritated.

Thinking that Xiang Ling was carrying more than him, Xiang Ci felt that if she yelled, it would be extremely pretentious, so she gritted her teeth and followed the large army to the rope bridge.

She was excited and excited when she saw the rope bridge before, but now she doesn't want to move. After playing it once, she is not so curious, but a little worried.

Watching the heavy-faced people gliding past, Xiang Ci thought that maybe the villagers were also afraid when they slid the rope to lock the bridge.

It's just that no matter how scared they are, they have to cross the bridge, so there is nothing to shrink back from. Anyway, if they stretch their heads or shrink their heads, it's just a knife, so they can just slide over and be done.

It was Xiang Ci's turn. She endured the pain in her shoulder, put the stick on the rope, gritted her teeth and grasped the stick tightly. When grandpa pushed her, she slid towards the opposite side.

Now, she finally understood the purpose of her grandfather's push. If it weren't for the force of her grandfather's push this time, she really wouldn't have the strength to slide to the other side because she lost her interest.

In short, boring.

Everyone glided safely to the other side, and continued walking with their backpacks on their backs like trackers with yellow faces.

Xiang Ci asked Heaven without tears, why should she be tortured like this? Why should she blow up the mountain to build a road and then build a bridge?

Otherwise, she might die in this small mountain village.

He walked back hummingly, and when the sun was about to set, Xiang Ci finally returned to the village in person and soul.

When Mrs. Cui saw them at the gate of the courtyard, she rushed over and took the basket from Xiang Ci's back.

Xiang Ci couldn't help but take a breath. When the backpack rubbed against his shoulders, the pain was numb and it didn't feel particularly painful.

Now, as soon as the heavy object was lifted off, the painful and numb area became even more painful, and it almost cost her her life.

Xiang Renyong also ran over, took away Xiang Ling's backpack, and said distressedly: "Are you tired? Go home and rest quickly."

Xiang Ling hummed and walked to the room. Hong passed by her and ran towards Xiang Renyong, extremely happy: "Let me see what I bought?"

"Is there anything good to see? My daughter's shoulder must be hurting. Go and have a look." As a father, it was not easy for him to see.

Hong still wanted to turn over the basket on his back, and said in a nonchalant tone: "I can handle it myself, and I'm not a child. Let me see..."

"Hong's!"

A calm and smiling voice suddenly interrupted Hong's words.

Xiang Renyong, who was hiding from Hong's back basket, felt his scalp tighten and his whole body collapse when he heard the sound. He looked at his mother with a guilty conscience and shortness of breath.

Mrs. Yu smiled dignifiedly and said: "It's time to cook."

Hong's hand that had already been put into the basket on her back slowly retracted it, full of resentment, and whispered: "I also cooked for lunch."

Although the sound is small, everyone can hear it.

Mrs. Yu's smile did not change and she nodded slightly: "Yes, but I still want you to cook. Why don't you listen? Huh?"

The swirling word "um" at the back made Hong feel as if there was a sharp sword hanging above her head. If she didn't agree, the sharp sword would fall down and pierce her Tianling Gai.

It was obvious that this dead old woman was smiling when talking to her, but every time she saw her smiling and talking to herself like this, adding a slightly pronounced "um" at the end of her words, she was so trembling that she didn't dare to resist.

Hong endured the tingling fear of being looked at by Yu, lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, and responded obediently: "Okay."

She walked quickly towards the kitchen, and when she passed by Xiang Ling, she bumped into her hard.

Xiang Ling, who already had pain in his shoulders and feet, really didn't expect that his mother would bump into him. Without checking for a moment, he stumbled forward.

Xiang Xinrong's wife, Gu Shi, stood with her eight-month-old belly looking at the returning family members with a smile. Next to her, Dabao squatted with a branch and was playing with the ants.

Xiang Ling staggered towards him. If he couldn't hold his feet, he would definitely hit Gu's stomach.

Gu Shi is about to give birth, and the consequences of this collision will make Gu Shi and the child safe together.

Either Gu's family is safe or the child is gone.

Or... both mother and son will die.

If Xiang Ling fell sideways, he would be on top of Dabao.

There are steps next to Dabao. If Xiang Ling pressed on him, with Dabao's height and distance, his neck would rest on the steps.

Although the steps are not sharp, the child's neck is fragile. As long as the baby presses over it, Dabao is likely to break his neck.

When this scene happened, everyone in the yard saw it, and they all knew the ending immediately.

Everyone's heart was beating like thunder, and they were terrified. They all shouted: "Hey, be careful!"
