AWB Chapter 54 Barbecue
Chapter 54 Barbecue
Following the direction pointed out by Lü Xinyan, Xie Shulan and Lü Muyi saw the stretcher secured with branches and vines, as well as the roasted snake and rabbit meat, still steaming and fragrant.
This situation made them all a little embarrassed.
However, they hadn't been able to eat their fill for several days, and they were extremely hungry and exhausted. The climb and journey had taken a toll on their energy. When they arrived here, they had already smelled the aroma of meat, which made them very hungry. Now, the wind had changed, and they were downwind, so the aroma of meat wafted over, making them drool and really want to eat it.
Although they were starving and couldn't wait to get some barbecue, the thought that Lü Xinyan had prepared so much for them so early on meant that she must already know their current situation, which made Xie Shulan and the others even more surprised and guilty.
They knew very little about Lü Xinyan and had done far less than she had, which truly made them feel ashamed.
This time, Lü Xinyan arrived at Lianyun Mountain in time, rescued Lü Muren, and did so many other things, all with their well-being in mind.
This action seems to have been planned by Lü Xinyan from the beginning, rather than by chance, and specifically for them.
So, does this mean that Lü Xinyan has a better understanding of the Yuan family's schemes and conspiracies?
Thinking about all this made Xie Shulan feel even worse, knowing that what they had done was far from enough.
However, since things have already come to this, they should focus on dealing with the important matters first.
Looking at the roasted meat, Xie Shulan nodded and said, "Yan'er, thank you! Thank you so much!"
“I know you came here specifically for this, and specifically for us, to help us get out of these dangerous situations.”
"Yan'er, we didn't handle things well before. We will definitely change and pay attention to these things in the future."
Even with so many limitations in reality, Xie Shulan still felt that they should take the initiative to deal with these problems instead of being passively attacked.
Yes, there is a huge gap in strength between them and the Yuan family, a gap that is difficult to cross, which will put them in a very unfavorable position in handling these matters, but they still cannot be too weak.
Those people always take advantage of their lack of power and influence, trying to crush them with a flick of their fingers. No matter how weak they are, they have to fight back and stop letting others bully them.
Knowing she hadn't done nearly enough, but now was not the time for regret, Xie Shulan wiped away her tears and said to Lü Xinyan, "Yan'er, this time, we won't hold back. Once we've eaten and have the strength, we'll carry the stretcher again."
"Yan'er, we all know that we owe all of this to your help."
"Let's go, let's eat something together, pack up and head down the mountain."
The situation is what it is now, and there's no use in saying anything more regretful. Hsieh Shu-lan only hopes that she can make up for what she owes to her biological daughter, Lü Hsin-yen, and hopes to get along well with her daughter and protect her from being bullied.
They have missed out on so much, far more than what their daughter, Lü Xinyan, has done for them. Ashamed, they know it's time to make some changes.
At least, they will try their best to protect their daughter and prevent her from being bullied again!
Lu Muyi and Lu Muli also thought of these things and felt very ashamed. They also had great admiration for their sister, Lu Xinyan.
Knowing that his sister Lü Xinyan had done so much for them, Lü Muyi's guard and vigilance dissipated considerably.
His sister has already done so much for them. He enjoys all that his sister has done for them and benefits from it. To then doubt his sister's intentions would be incredibly hypocritical.
Lu Muyi was truly hungry and had very little strength left. At this moment, Lu Muyi didn't hold back and bowed to his sister Lu Xinyan, saying earnestly, "Sister, thank you!"
If his sister Lü Xinyan hadn't arrived in time, Lü Muyi didn't even dare to think about what would have happened today.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
My sister truly cares about them; she came back specifically to help and save them!
He shouldn't continue to harbor such suspicion and wariness towards his sister, Lü Xinyan.
This time, Lü Muyi's gratitude was heartfelt; he was truly thankful that his sister, Lü Xinyan, had arrived in time to help them so much.
Lu Muli smiled broadly at Lu Xinyan and said gratefully, "Sister, that's wonderful! Thank you!"
"Sister, have you eaten yet? Let's go eat some meat together, okay?"
“We’ve never eaten with our older sister before. This time it’s finally possible. Older sister, let’s go together?”
Listening to her mother and two younger brothers, Lü Xinyan gently shook her head and said, "You guys go and eat. I've already eaten. I'll just stay here and keep an eye on my older brother."
"Go ahead, don't worry about me. I'm really not hungry. Everything is prepared for you. Just eat."
“I have prepared quite a lot. You can take some out first and bring it to Dad, Zhige’er and Xin’er later.”
Worried that they might still feel embarrassed, Lü Xinyan continued, "Don't be shy. Once we've eaten and have some strength, we'll carry our elder brother down the mountain together. We can't delay any longer."
After Lü Xinyan said that, Xie Shulan and the others didn't refuse or be coy anymore. They agreed and went over to eat something.
Having not eaten meat for a long time, they ate it very carefully, but because they were in a hurry, they had to eat large mouthfuls of meat, which made their feelings even more complicated.
The roasted meat that Lü Xinyan prepared was really delicious, and she also prepared some wild vegetables to make the roasted meat less greasy. Xie Shulan and the others ate it with great relish.
Because they were concerned about Lü Muren's injuries, Xie Shulan and the others ate quickly and didn't waste much time, soon cleaning up the scene.
The portion of barbecue that had been separated earlier was taken by Lü Muli, who planned to bring it back for Lü Daquan and the others to try as well.
I have to say, this barbecue was really delicious. After eating it, they felt energized, and their hearts, which had been beating a little too fast, seemed to have returned to normal and they no longer felt so uncomfortable.
Looking at the sky, Xie Shulan and the others realized it was getting late. After cleaning up the ashes at the scene, they quickly grabbed a stretcher and prepared to carry Lü Muren down the mountain. They would deal with other matters once they got home.
