Chapter 484 Relatives
What Wu Zhongyuan said was what he was thinking. At this moment, he was not thinking about the famine that would lead to internal instability in the Bear Clan, nor was he thinking about the impact that a large number of people starving to death would have on future wars. His only thought was that he could not let the people starve.
"You are so busy working so hard, but we can only sit back and watch. How shameful." Wu Qin sighed.
Jiang Dahua said, "What Wu Qin Dongyuan said is, how can I let you suffer alone? I will go back to gather the carriages and horses, and we will travel under the stars and night..."
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Dahua, "It's too late. I understand your intentions, but you really can't help with this matter. Okay, it's getting late, so go back early."
The four of them looked at each other and hesitated.
Wu Zhongyuan stood up and said to Wu Dalie, "Wu Qin Dongyuan thought carefully and took your wife to Daze when the defense was changed. Go back and meet her earlier."
"I'll stay here to guard these livestock until Brother Wu Zhu sends his carriages and horses," Wu Dalie said.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "No, it's freezing. Who would come out to steal these? Besides, even if you want to steal, who can move it? Let's leave early."
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to go, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand again and urged, "Let's all go, let's go, I have to go too."
After saying that, without waiting for everyone to leave, he grabbed the ropes used to bind the horseshoes and cow legs, and controlled the green dragon armor to rise into the air and go south.
Wu Zhongyuan was very tired at this time, but he did not dare to slack off and delay. The temperature in the south was high, and the food and feces remaining in the stomach of the dead animals would ferment quickly, so he had to move to the cold north as soon as possible.
When they came back again, Wu Qin, Jiang Dahua, and Li Wanzi had already left, but Wu Dalie stayed.
"I said you don't need to keep anyone here. It's so cold. You should go back early. I'll go to Daze to catch up with you after I've been busy for a while." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wu Da Lie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll leave right now, but there is one thing that I still need to confirm with Da Wu."
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, and then added, "We are not outsiders. Don't call us Da Wu when there is no one around."
"That can't be done. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. How can we usurp..."
Wu Zhongyuan interrupted Wu Dalie impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't tell me this. If you have anything to do, just tell me. I'm still in a hurry to leave."
"Da Wu previously ordered me to tell Wu Qin that Dongyuan and others could save the lives of everyone in Tiancan Valley, but they must take away their rice grains." Wu Dalie stretched out his hand and pointed to the south, "But Thirteenth Fox King rushed over, but he did not He did not mention this matter, but only said that he must order Tiancan Valley to hand over the Tiancan White Silk. Was this matter ordered by Da Wu, or did it act on its own initiative?"
"Oh, about this, I changed my mind temporarily," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If I really want to take away all their food, it is no different from annihilating the clan. Since I have broken Liu Jin'e's dragnet, there is no need to take away all their food." Kill them all in Tiancan Valley."
Wu Darie suddenly understood and nodded slowly.
"Is there anything else?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Da Wu, I deserve this silkworm white silk. Can I give it to Wu Qin Dongyuan?" Wu Dalie asked.
Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard this.
He shook his head sternly, "No, the gift can only be used by yourself, how can you give it to others. If I could give it to him, I would have given it to him, and it's your turn?"
"Oh." Wu Dalie looked slightly embarrassed.
Feeling that his tone was a bit harsh, Wu Zhongyuan slowed down and said, "It's reasonable for me to do this, and it's not done hastily. Daze, you don't have many acquaintances, so how about it, you go back and take your wife to the city where the black widow is. The Widow and others have just arrived, so you go and help them settle down, and you will stay there to work with the Black Widow. The Black Widow has moved all the foundations of the Yinma River here, and that city will definitely be a prosperous place in the future."
Wu Dalie hurriedly thanked him.
Just as Wu Zhongyuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your wife must also be strictly disciplined. If she continues to be unreasonable, divorce her."
Wu Darie didn't know why and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"That day when you accidentally entered Tiancan Valley and Liu Jin'e recruited you as your son-in-law, your mother-in-law didn't care about the importance and went to Wu Qin's house to yell and curse," Wu Zhongyuan said with boredom, "I haven't even laid an egg for you after all these years of marriage. One of them is still so arrogant and violent, go back and take good care of her, how can a man be afraid of his wife?"
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Dalie to speak, he controlled the Qinglong Armor and took off again.
He didn't just say it casually. Wu Dalie was a henpecked master in Daqiu. Many people in modern times think that men are afraid of their wives because they care about their wives. In fact, it makes no sense. Men shouldn't be afraid of their wives. This character flaw is also a sign of lack of masculinity. Men are leaders and protectors, so they should control the direction.
However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, this man has the correct leadership ability and can take good care of and protect his family. If he fails to do what he should do, he is not qualified to lead others.
Eight out of ten men who are afraid of their wives are incompetent, and the remaining two are one who was caught doing bad things and had a guilty conscience, and the other who was a man who climbed a high tree to make ends meet, but is really capable. There are many men who love their wives, but none of them are afraid of their wives.
After that, he made several trips back and forth, and when he returned again at the fourth watch, he found a person standing under the tree. When he got closer, he discovered that it was Li Wanzi.
Li Wanzi was holding a quilt. When she saw Wu Zhongyuan returning, she hurriedly greeted him. He took out a food box from the quilt and said, "Come here to eat."
Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect that Li Wanzi would come back to bring him food. Seeing Li Wanzi take out the food box and hearing her call, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. No one thought about whether he had eaten or not, and no one thought about giving him food. Only Li Wanzi thought of delivering food.
There are three jars in the food box, and the gaps are filled with cotton wool for insulation.
There was only one piece of bluestone that could accommodate a person. Li Wanzi squatted aside, opened one of the jars and handed it over, "Drink some water first."
Wu Zhongyuan took the jar and held it in his hands, and found that the jar was still warm.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan holding the jar in a daze, Li Wanzi urged, "Drink quickly, I see your lips are dry."
After Li Wanzi urged, Wu Zhongyuan just took a few sips from the jar.
Li Wanzi took away the water jug, took out the handkerchief, watered it with water and wet it, "Take off the armor and wipe your face."
Wu Zhongyuan didn't move or answer, he just stared at Li Wanzi blankly.
Li Wanzi urged again, and Wu Zhongyuan stood up and took off his green dragon armor.
Li Wanzi did not hand the handkerchief to Wu Zhongyuan, but directly stepped forward to wipe his face, "My clothes are wet with sweat. Quickly activate the qi and blood, and activate the limbs to keep out the cold."
After wiping Wu Zhongyuan's face, Li Wanzi handed over another jar. The jar contained meat soup mixed with vegetables and corn. A spoon was also handed over with the jar.
"Sit down and eat." Li Wanzi waved away the snow on the bluestone.
Wu Zhongyuan stood still.
Li Wanzi urged again, and he sat down, but after sitting down, he didn't eat the meat soup. He just looked down at the jar in a daze.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan looked strange, Li Wanzi asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"What happened? Tell me quickly." Li Wanzi urged.
Wu Zhongyuan just shook his head and did not answer.
"What happened, tell me quickly!" Li Wanzi raised his voice.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at Li Wanzi, "Auntie, do you look like my mother?"
Li Wanzi was originally worried about whether Wu Zhongyuan had encountered some problems. After hearing what he said, she realized that he was reminded of his mother. She thought that Wu Zhongyuan didn't even know what Li Qianyu looked like. She thought that Wu Zhongyuan finally called out his aunt. , seeing him unable to conceal his tiredness and haggardness, Li Wanzi's heart was filled with sadness and heartache, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, choked and turned around.
Wu Zhongyuan was not a self-pitying person, but Li Wanzi's actions reminded him subconsciously of his mother. Seeing Li Wanzi walking away in tears, he panicked a little and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only give in to nothing. Eating meat soup from a jar.
Li Wanzi had a very tough temper, and it didn't take long for her to force herself out of her sadness and return to Wu Zhongyuan, "You can't do anything too hastily. The problem of food shortage in the Bear Clan cannot be solved overnight. There is no end to the road, so take your time.”
"I should follow your husband's advice and kill Wu Ao earlier and take back the throne of Wu." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Yes, you should indeed listen to the blind man's advice. If Wu Ao had been killed before the war broke out, the Bear Clan would not be in such a bad situation." Li Wanzi did not comfort him.
Wu Zhongyuan lowered his head and did not answer.
Seeing that the meat soup in the earthen jar was gone, Li Wanzi took the jar over and gave him the last jar, "You care about family ties, but Wu Ao doesn't care about that. If you hadn't stopped me that day, the Bear Clan would have It has been destroyed in Wu Ao's hands. You are too affectionate and soft-hearted, and you don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse?"
Wu Zhongyuan is always frustrated by being criticized by others for being soft-hearted. If it were just criticism from others, he would not accept it. The key is that even he himself knows that he is soft-hearted. Li Wanzi said this politely, but in fact, what Li Wanzi wanted to say was him. It is difficult to achieve great things if you are kind-hearted and soft-handed.
"What kind of person is my father?" Wu Zhongyuan looked up at Li Wanzi.
"You two, father and son, are very similar. If Wu Hao had not taken you back against everyone else's opinions that day, he would not have attracted the siege of the Bird Clan and the Ox Clan, and the Bear Clan would not have been severely weakened and declined day by day." Li Wanzi said.
Hearing what Li Wanzi said, Wu Zhongyuan was in a slightly better mood. Some things were in his bones. His kindness and softness were a result of nature rather than a character flaw that was acquired.
The last jar was filled with wine. Wu Zhongyuan took a few sips to stimulate his spiritual energy to relax his muscles and activate his blood. It turned out that he was still somewhat unbalanced. After all, it was Wu Ao who caused the trouble and he was the one who bore the consequences. But Li Wanzi's actions These words made him feel much better. He was not bearing the consequences for Wu Ao, but for his father. As Li Wanzi said, if Wu Hao did not take him back to the Bear Clan, the Bear Clan would not There will be so many changes in the future.
The root cause of everything is that Wu Hao took him back to the Bear Clan to raise him. As a father, Wu Hao was competent and did not abandon him even at the risk of the world's disapproval. As a son, he should repay his kindness. The Bear Clan has fallen into this situation today. This situation was caused by Wu Hao's refusal to abandon him. He did not bear the consequences for others. He was bearing the consequences for his father and himself...
