Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 172

“When they were hitting us, Grandma was right there watching and she didn’t try to stop them. Grandma no longer cares about us. She’s no longer our Grandma. Alright, you better walk now.”

Lu Jixiang tried to persuade Lu Ruyi. He reached out and pulled Lu Ruyi up, but unfortunately Lu Ruyi just wouldn’t leave. Instead, he pushed Lu Jixiang down while complaining.

Seeing his own brother Lu Ruyi being so useless and cowardly really gave Lu Jixiang a headache.

How could he have such a cowardly brother? Really, it should be that a bold person like himself should also have a bold brother.

This Lu Ruyi must not be his real brother.

“Can you not be so cowardly? I already said it’s fine, there’s nothing to be afraid of. And I’m right here in front of you, what do you have to be afraid of? No one will do anything to you. Don’t keep avoiding things, you know? If you keep this up, I’m just going to go on my own.

I’m telling you, your legs are weak right now and you don’t dare go home alone. If you don’t come with me, then you can just stay here by yourself.”

Lu Jixiang looked at Lu Ruyi crying and whining like a delicate girl, being so useless. He blamed Lu Ruyi and then just walked off on his own, not waiting for Lu Ruyi.

Lu Ruyi was always like this. Wherever they went to work or do something, Lu Ruyi would always be the one dragging behind.

How could he have a brother like Lu Ruyi who was such a drag?

Lu Jixiang just couldn’t understand it.

Seeing that Lu Jixiang really was leaving without waiting for him, Lu Ruyi felt terribly afraid and quickly hurried to catch up to Lu Jixiang’s steps.

“Brother, don’t leave me, I’m so scared. Don’t leave me, I won’t go. I won’t go find Mom and Dad. Don’t leave me, wait for me. My legs are so weak right now.”

As Lu Ruyi caught up to Lu Jixiang’s steps, he kept looking around nervously. He felt like the shadows of the trees were gaping mouths ready to devour him. It was such a terrifying sight.

Lu Ruyi felt like there were ghosts chasing after him, so he started running faster.

Since Lu Jixiang had already gone a distance ahead, he reached the spot first.

Seeing Lu Ruyi running to catch up, Lu Jixiang waited for him.

Lu Ruyi ran up to Lu Jixiang and panted heavily. His small face was wet with tears and snot.

“Brother, don’t leave me. I don’t dare go back, and I don’t dare go forward either. Brother, where are we going to go now?”

Lu Ruyi clung to Lu Jixiang’s arm and swung it from side to side.

Lu Jixiang thought for a moment. Since they had reached the foot of the mountain, they might as well just rest here for a bit as it was already dark.

“It’s already dark, and soon we won’t be able to see anything. Let’s just rest up ahead. Look, there’s a small stream and some rocks beside it. We can rest on those.”

“Ah, you want me to sleep on those rocks? But I’m so scared.”

“That area has fewer trees, so the moonlight can shine there. The other places are pitch black and you can’t see anything. Where else would we go?”
