Chapter 205 Liu Yingxiong's Complaints
As they were talking, their bamboo raft finally reached the shore. Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu and Zhu Yun had been waving and waiting on the shore since the boat arrived.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao and the others were all fine, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and came forward and said, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
Zhu Yun directly took her daughter's hand and asked, "Xiaobao, are you okay? I just heard from the people coming down ahead that a bamboo raft capsized on the way. Could it be yours?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied, "No, look at me, I'm clean and I don't look like I fell into the water! Don't worry, Mom, we are all fine, and Dad is fine too."
Zhu Yun touched her clothes repeatedly and saw that they were not wet as she said, so she was completely relieved.
After greeting her husband, brother, and sister-in-law one by one, she turned to her daughter and said, "We asked you to ride on the boat with us before, but you refused and insisted on experiencing it. Your grandfather and I were terribly worried about you. If he hadn't had to help the villagers watch over their livestock, he would have come here a long time ago."
Liu Xiaoxiao said: "It would be better if he didn't come here. There are so many people getting off the boat here now, and he would be squeezed if he came."
Zhu Yun actually thought the same, which is why she persuaded him to stay there.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had almost finished their conversation, Grandma Liu came over with Grandpa Liu and asked, "Xiaoxiao wasn't scared, was she?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied: "No, our bamboo raft is fine."
Then she added, "Luckily, grandparents weren't with us, otherwise, given the situation at the time, we might have had to distract ourselves to take care of you."
Liu Yingcai thought about it and realized it was true. So after expressing his concern for his granddaughter, he let her and her mother go to give their blessings and report their safety.
The old couple stayed behind to help the children unload their things.
Of course, Liu Xiaoxiao was inevitably nagged by her grandfather again.
It was half an hour later when they were finally ready to set off again.
On the way, Liu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Yingcai, "Grandpa, do we have to walk for a long time? Why don't you even take our bamboo raft with you?"
Liu Yingcai replied, "Well, we still have to walk for another hour. We can't even carry our own belongings, so we can't take the bamboo raft with us."
Liu Xiaoxiao said regretfully, "That's such a pity! I think they're still very strong!"
Liu Yingcai smiled bitterly and said, "We've all fled from the famine, so why would we lose anything?"
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and said no more.
An hour later, they saw a village in front of them.
At the entrance of the village, there were many villagers holding farm tools.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Grandma Liu's arm and said, "Grandma, they... don't seem to welcome us into the village!"
Grandma Liu patted her hands and said soothingly, "Anyone who has such a large group of people inexplicably appear at the village entrance should do this. Don't worry, if we don't go in first, they won't attack us."
"Okay," she nodded obediently, and stood with Grandma Liu.
Lin Xuan, who had suggested they come here, was now extremely embarrassed. So, he walked up to Liu Yingxiong and explained, "I left in a hurry and didn't have time to write home to let them know. So, you guys wait here for a while while I go find my grandfather and explain the situation. He'll then make arrangements for you. Is that okay with you?"
Liu Yingxiong said, "Of course, of course. Then you go and get busy first."
But I was thinking, "I have to agree even if I don't want to! Otherwise, do I have to go to war with them?"
