A village of more than 80 people depended on Yang Lulu to support them. Just thinking about it, one would know how heavy the burden this 16-year-old girl had on her shoulders.
In addition, the child needed to grow up, so the amount of supplies and rations needed was not ordinary.
The village was full of old people and children. It was impossible for her to farm and rely on herself. She could only steal.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had no other choice, she wouldn't want to walk down this path. After all, she knew the consequences of being caught as a thief. It would definitely be extremely miserable.
Speaking of this, how could Yang Lulu not hate Huang Tianqi? The treasure in that big box was related to the livelihood of the entire village.
The treasure in the big chest was gone, which meant that the children in the village might have to starve for a while until she had a target.
At this moment, Yang Lulu had already changed into tight-fitting night clothes and was wearing clothes that ordinary girls should wear. She looked like a rabbit, with curved eyebrows and bright eyes, and a beautiful figure...
Perhaps in another two or three years, when her body grew a little, there would be another seductress in the world.
Yang Lulu took a deep breath and stopped thinking about Huang Tianqi. The children in the village were mature and sensible. She was afraid that her emotions would be seen through by the children.
She hid it well. The children did not know what she was doing outside, but she also knew that no matter what she did, these children would not allow her, their sister, to suffer any grievances outside.
In order to prevent the children from being affected by her, every time she returned to the village, she would return with a smile on her face.
Under the hot sun, Yang Lulu was so tired that she was panting a little while carrying big and small bags of supplies. Her thin white neck was covered in sweat. Fortunately, she was almost at the entrance of Fish Village.
"Sister Lulu, Sister Lulu is back.”
Seeing Sister Lulu return, the children in the village started to make a ruckus. One by one, they ran out and surrounded Sister Lulu. The boys who matured early quickly took the big and small bags from Sister Lulu.
"Sister Lulu, you're back. Come and play house with us.”
"What play house? That's a game for children. Sister Lulu should accompany us to the river to catch fish and prawns.”
……
As soon as Yang Lulu came back, the children all fought to play with her.
"Nonsense, Sister Lulu just came back and is still very tired. What are you doing? You won't let Sister Lulu rest for a moment!”
The children who wanted to play were all seven or eight-year-old children. The children who knew how to quench Yang Lulu's thirst and fan her were all eleven or twelve years old.
"Dazhuang, it's normal for my younger siblings to want to play. Moreover, I'm not tired at all. I'm also very happy to play with my younger siblings.”
Yang Lulu saw that her younger brother and sister lowered their heads as if they had done something wrong. She quickly stopped her child, Wang Lin, from shouting. She smiled and rubbed the children's heads.
"Sister Lulu, you spoil them too much.”
"You're all my younger brothers and sisters. If I don't spoil you, who will?”
Yang Lulu looked at her younger siblings who were wearing coarse cloth clothes. Many children were wearing cloth clothes that were sewn and patched. She felt very sorry and guilty.
It was her sister who did not do a good job. She did not dare to spend the stolen goods recklessly. She was deeply afraid that she would be caught by someone with ill intentions and implicate the entire Fish Village.
"Let's not talk about anything else first. There are herbs that Xiao Cao, Xiao Hua, and the others need in the bag.”
There were sixty to seventy children in Fish Village, but not all of them were physically intact. Many of them were missing arms and legs, and some of them were sick and lying still.
It could be said that half of the village's expenses were spent on medicinal herbs. After all, medicinal herbs were more expensive.
"Sister Lulu, leave the brewing to us. You should rest for a while.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Yang Lulu wanted to do it herself, but when she saw the village chief coming to welcome her, she could only hand over the work to her younger brothers and sisters.
Lin Bangxiao was the chief of Yu 'er Village. He was also Yang Lulu's adoptive father. Yang Lulu had learned all her martial arts from Lin Bangxiao.
Most of the children in Fish Village had the surname Lin, Lin Xiaoye, Lin Xiaohua, Lin Xiaoshu, and so on. Most of them were named by Lin Bangxiao.
But in Fish Village, Lin Bangxiao only cared about one person, and that was Yang Lulu.
Yang Lulu was his brother's orphan. He had hidden injuries from his early years of fighting and was not doing well in the martial arts world, so he brought Yang Lulu here to live in seclusion.
Originally, there was no Fish Village here, but Yang Lulu gradually grew up and needed someone to accompany her. Therefore, he brought two children back to be Yang Lulu's younger siblings.
Who would have thought that his actions would affect Yang Lulu, causing her to bring back one or two children every few days.
If he hadn't tried his best to stop them, there would have been more than sixty to seventy children here.
At this moment, Lin Bangxiao looked old, but in fact, he was only in his fifties. He looked like this because of the root of his illness from his early years of fighting.
Not only did this affect his cultivation, but even his physical condition was also declining. If he could not be cured, he would become like this.
"Ahem, you're back."
Every time Yang Lulu went to steal, he was extremely worried. However, he could not stop it. He could only hope that Yang Lulu would be fine all the time.
Seeing that Yang Lulu had returned to the village safely, he felt relieved.
"Father, your body…"
Yang Lulu knew her background, but she didn't care about it. Lin Bangxiao raised her, so he was her father.
Seeing her father coughing, she walked forward nervously.
"I'm fine. It's an old problem. En…come with me."
Lin Bangxiao suddenly saw that the amount of supplies his daughter brought back was not right. His expression changed. He knew that something might have happened to his daughter.
"Every time you bring back supplies to the village, you only bring more, not less. This time, you brought less. Did something happen?”
Lin Bangxiao asked with concern.
"I met a shameless thief. He stole all the treasures I've accumulated over the past two years.”
When Yang Lulu mentioned Huang Tianqi, she clenched her teeth tightly.
"It was stolen!"
Lin Bangxiao didn't care about the treasure. He cared about his daughter's situation.
If the treasure was gone, his daughter would definitely be anxious to make a move on the merchant's family for the sake of the village. He wasn't prepared to act in a hurry. He was deeply afraid that something would happen to his daughter.
"Child, can you stop this? You don't owe them anything. On the contrary, they would drag you down to death. How old are you now? Is it worth it to sacrifice your life for them?”
"You know Father's body condition. I don't have many years left to live. Could he give up on them and accompany his father to spend a few years in his old age?”
Lin Bangxiao wanted his daughter to give up on the children in the village. It was cruel, but if he had to choose between his daughter and the children, his daughter would definitely be more important.
He didn't want his daughter to suffer like this at such a young age. This kind of suffering shouldn't be what his daughter deserved.
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"They're still so young and don't have the ability to rely on themselves at all. Giving them up is equivalent to forcing them onto the path of death.”
"Also, Father, you will be fine. I will find a doctor who can treat you. I will let you see the day when the children in the village grow up and start a family.”
Yang Lulu did not expect her father to have such thoughts, but from her father's point of view, she understood why her father had such thoughts.
However, how could she give up on those innocent children?。
