Chapter 5 Ten Years Ago (Part )
"Mond is such a beautiful place, brother."

Sitting in the carriage, the young Lu Qianzhi looked out the window eagerly, watching the dandelions gradually disappear from his sight, his eyes full of reluctance.

"We've been traveling in Mondstadt for a week. Haven't you seen enough?" A gentle-looking woman touched Qianzhi's little head lovingly and asked with a smile.

"I haven't seen enough, I haven't seen enough." Lu Qianzhi snuggled into the woman's arms and acted coquettishly, and the mother and daughter immediately started to play around.

Sitting opposite the mother and daughter was a serious middle-aged man. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile. He patted the boy on the right on the shoulder and asked, "Shi Yuan, how do you feel about this trip?"

"It's just an exotic place, that's all." Lu Shiyuan said calmly, "But the dandelion wine here... I think it can be sold to Liyue Port.

What do you think about the taste of dandelion wine, Dad? Does it suit the taste of Liyue people?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly upon hearing this, and said in a tone full of approval: "That's a good idea, you are worthy of being my son, Shi Yuan. Although you are only eight years old now, Dad thinks it's time to take you to the family shop to practice it."

Lu Qianzhi poked her little head out from her mother's arms, looked at her brother curiously, then exchanged glances with her mother and whispered, "Brother is so awesome."

"Yes." The gentle woman replied with a smile, "Your brother is the pride of our family."

"Thank you, Dad." Lu Shiyuan nodded slightly, still with a calm expression. He only showed a gentle smile when he looked at Lu Qianzhi and the gentle woman.

The younger sister looked at her brother's warm smile and somehow felt a little shy. Her little face turned red and she buried her head in her mother's arms again.

"Am I special enough now?" Lu Shiyuan put away his smile and thought to himself.

However, just as the family was chatting happily, the carriage suddenly shook violently and stopped forcefully.

Because of the shaking of the carriage, the whole family was shaken dizzy.

After realizing what was happening, the middle-aged man immediately took out a gleaming spear from the secret cabinet in the carriage, shielded his family behind him, and shouted, "Acai, what happened?!"

"Master, this is bad! Yes, it's a treasure theft...ah——"

Outside the car, Ah Cai's terrified voice was heard, but before he could finish his words, the sound of a heavy object hitting flesh was heard. Ah Cai screamed, and then there was no sound.

“Acai!” The middle-aged man’s eyes widened with anger. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he, the coachman, was probably already…

Lu Shiyuan's heart tightened, and he also realized that things were not simple, but at this moment, the only thing he could do was to hide the fruit knife on the table in his arms.

Through the car window, they could clearly see that the carriage had been surrounded by a group of masked treasure robbers.

"What happened, Mom?" Lu Qianzhi instinctively felt fear and hugged the gentle woman tightly.

The latter also hugged her daughter tightly, blocking her view of the car window. Her eyes were also filled with fear, but she still suppressed the fear in her heart and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay."

At this time, the leader of the treasure-stealing group spoke outside the carriage.

"Boss Lu, I advise you to bring your wife and children out to die. This way, at least you can die more easily."

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he immediately responded: "You should be a treasure-stealing group. Lu has been in business for many years and I believe I have never provoked you. Why do you want to fight and kill as soon as we meet?

Aren't you the treasure-stealing group here to make money? Let us go, and I'll give you all the money."

"The conditions are very tempting, but I refuse." The leader of the treasure-stealing group sneered and said, "Your family can't leave. If you want to know why, the reason is very simple. Someone paid 12 million Mora to buy your lives.

Besides, if you die, won't the property in this car still belong to me?"

"Is that really the case..." The middle-aged man closed his eyes in despair. Although the treasure-stealing group claimed to rob money but not kill, they were, after all, some guys who had already become bandits. We couldn't expect them to have high moral standards. If the money was in hand, they might kill people.

"It looks like today is going to be a bad day." The middle-aged man opened his eyes, his gaze full of determination, and said softly, "Yizhu, I'll go hold back the treasure-stealing group later, you, take the child and run!"

The gentle woman was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded heavily, "I understand."

"Boss Lu, please come out quickly, or we will set the fire and burn you to death... it will be very painful!"

"Let's rush out!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, pointed the gun forward, and rushed out of the car. The gentle woman followed closely behind him holding Lu Qianzhi, and Lu Shiyuan also got out of the car.

As soon as they got out of the carriage, they saw Ah Cai lying in a pool of blood, and the treasure-stealing group of more than a dozen people were already standing separately.

"Go!" the middle-aged man shouted loudly, holding a spear and fighting with several people in the treasure-stealing group.

"Let's go!" The gentle woman held her son's hand with one hand and her daughter in the other, and with a sad look on her face, she broke out in the direction where the treasure-stealing group had the least members.

The treasure-hunting group members around them immediately wanted to step forward to stop them, but were desperately stopped by the middle-aged man.

Although the treasure-stealing group had a large number of people, they were unable to spare any manpower to chase the three daughters and children when faced with a man skilled in martial arts who was fighting to the death. They ran away.

The gentle woman ran desperately towards Liyue with her two children. When she thought of her husband's situation, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes.

However, after running for only a few minutes, he heard footsteps and shouts behind him.

"Hurry up and chase him, we can see him now!"

"Catch them, each one is worth three million Mora."

The gentle woman's face turned pale. The treasure-stealing group had caught up with her so quickly? Didn't that mean her husband had already...

The woman could no longer hide the despair on her face, but she continued to run desperately for the sake of her children.

But how could an ordinary woman, with two children, possibly outrun the treasure-stealing group? She was caught up in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the gentle woman loosened her hand, let go of Lu Shiyuan, and stopped herself.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Lu Shiyuan had a bad feeling.

"Shi Yuan, take Qianzhi with you. I'll help you stop them." The gentle woman put Lu Qianzhi on the ground, her eyes showing determination, "You must... protect your sister."

There was no time for her to say more. She could only look at the children deeply, memorize their appearance in her mind, and turn to intercept the treasure-stealing group.

"Mom..." Lu Qianzhi looked at the gentle figure of the woman walking away, and subconsciously wanted to run over, as usual, to get into his mother's arms.

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan grabbed his sister, put away the grief in his eyes, and whispered: "Let's go quickly."

"I... I won't leave." Lu Qianzhi shook off the former's hand and cried.

Lu Shiyuan shook his head and carried his sister on his back without saying a word. No matter how the girl hit his back, he did not let go.

Since his father and mother are gone, he is the oldest in the family and must take on the responsibility of protecting his family.
