Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

Tangtang ran all the way on his horse. The only thought in his mind was to be faster and faster, so that he almost bumped into the oncoming Lu Qi.

Lu Qi saw the blood stains on Tangtang’s face, and then looked at the tattered clothes and the big knife in his hand, he asked, “Tangtang, have you met the barbarians?”

Tangtang gasped and said, “Uncle Lu Qi, go save Guoguo. They were on the other side of the meadow. Yes we met  the barbarians and there were about 100 of them.”

Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that Xu Ran would expect this, but now it was not the time to think about it. Guoguo was in danger and it was the most important thing to save him first.

Lu Qi said to Tangtang, “Tangtang, you lead the way, and we will follow you.”

Tangtang turned his horse and started running forward without hesitation.

It was not too far away, plus they was running all the way, so they arrived there very quickly. However, by the time they arrived, there was already no one there, or rather, there were only a few bodies lying on the ground. Tangtang was flustered, and he could not care about anything to dismounted to check the bodies.

He touched his chest and didn’t feel any pain. That meant Guoguo was still fine, but he was taken away by these people.

After Lu Qi arranged for the other men to search around, he walked to Tangtang and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry too much. There is no body of Guoguo here. It means that Guoguo is fine. These people may not have intended to kill Guoguo. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken him away after Guoguo killed several of them.”

Lu Qi analyzed from the most rational point of view, but Tangtang couldn’t accept it. He knew only too well whether these men were out to kill. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have cut Guoguo in the arm.

Tangtang didn’t answer Lu Qi’s words. He was just wondering where they could take him in such a short time.

Lu Qi asked his men to search around, and soon someone ran over and said. “Military counsellor, the bodies of our soldiers have been found in the grass not far ahead.”

Lu Qi said with a cold expression, “Lead the way. I’ll go over and take a look.”

The man immediately turned around and walked in front, Lu Qi followed him closely, and Tangtang followed.  He and Guoguo guessed that the person guarding the cow and sheep had been killed. They didn’t expect it to be true and the body was hidden in the grass. No wonder they didn’t notice at that time.

And Tangtang now understood why these people were hiding in the grass. These people should have been ambushing here for a long time, otherwise they wouldn’t have killed so many people so easily. There were at least twenty soldiers guarding the cows and sheep.

They killed more than twenty people in silence, and the military camp did not receive any news. It was really premeditated.

Now Tangtang was more worried about Guoguo’s safety.

Lu Qi asked people to carry out the more than 20 bodies and put them in rows, letting other people search around and report anything suspicious as soon as it happened.

Tangtang circled around the grass to see if he could find any clues, but after searching for a long time, he didn’t find anything suspicious. The only thing was that there was a big hole in the middle of the grass, as if it had been hit by a stone. It was so deep you could barely see the bottom.

This hole was too far in the middle, so Tangtang didn’t think too much about it. He just glanced at it and went somewhere else.

It made him feel strange that this place was a sandy ground, but he didn’t see anyone’s footprints, let alone the footprints of the horses, which was kind of weird.

When Lu Qi came to find Tangtang, Tangtang told Lu Qi about his doubts. Lu Qi took a few steps to the sand and found that his feet were clearly printed on it. So he got confused, too.

But no matter how they looked and thought, they didn’t find anything.

The sun was shining brighter and brighter. It was estimated that it was noon. Lu Qi asked Tangtang to go back first and let Xu Ran know that he was safe. He would have to go to the military camp to deploy himself. If the Barbarian coulc come for the first time, then naturally there would be a second and a third time, so the patrol must be stepped up and he couldn’t let these barbarians get what they wanted.

Tangtang really wanted to stay and continue looking for Guoguo. When they went out there were two of them, but he had to come back alone. And he was his elder brother. Tangtang couldn’t forgive himself for leaving his brother alone in danger.

Lu Qi knew that Tangtang was upset, and he himself was also sad. Not only because they were King Yan’s nephew, but also the two children were extremely pleasing. Du Xin had muttered to his ear so many times that he wanted a child like Tangtang and Guoguo. Even he himself had this thought in his heart, but no one could expect that the two children would encounter such a thing when they came out to play.

Lu Qi  comforted him, “Tangtang, I’ll get someone to send you back first. Go back and tell your Dad and Daddy. Your Dad was worried that something might happen to you, so he sent the secret guard to me and asked me to bring people to find you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have met me on the way. Listen to me, just go back first, okay?”

In the process of looking for Guoguo, Tangtang had always been very calm. He spoke very neatly and even his eyes were not red. People would think that he didn’t care about Guoguo at all if they didn’t know that the brothers were usually very close.

However, Tangtang insisted on staying to find Guoguo, and Lu Qi couldn’t stop him.

Lu Qi was helpless and had to say to Tangtang, “Since that’s the case, I’ll send someone to talk to your Dad about the situation. You’ll look for Guoguo here. How about I send a few people with you?”

Tangtang was okay as long as he could stay and look for his brother, so he nodded and said to Lu Qi, “Thanks for the trouble, uncle Lu. Just tell my Dad and don’t tell Daddy, or he will be sad.”

Lu Qi nodded solemnly and called a few people over to let them follow Tangtang to protect him. He sighed and went back to the camp.

The sun was hanging high in the air. Apart from the grass, there was nothing to hide from, which made people feel dizzy.

However, Tangtang did not feel hot at all. He kept moving and called Guoguo at every step. Later, his voice was hoarse but he didn’t stop, as if he was possessed.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses’ hooves from afar. Apart from Tangtang, everyone behind him turned back to look at the person who was coming. They didn’t know Xu Ran and surrounded him after Xu Ran’s horse stopped.

One of them asked, “Who is it? Why are you here?”

Xu Ran looked at the person who asked him and explained, “I’m Tangtang’s Dad. I’m here to look for him.” Xu Ran said and pointed at Tangtang.

Tangtang turned back after hearing Xu Ran’s words and called out in surprise, “Dad!”

Hearing Tangtang’s hoarse voice, Xu Ran frowned and ignored the people around him. He walked towards Tangtang and asked, “What’s wrong with your voice? What happened?”

When he heard Xu Ran’s words, Tangtang was stunned for a moment. He remembered that he had been calling Guoguo just now. Maybe it was because he had shouted too much, so he became like this. However, he just shook his head and did not say anything.

Xu Ran said to Tangtang, “Lu Qi has sent someone to tell me everything. It’s not your fault. I didn’t stop you in the morning. If I stopped you, you guys wouldn’t have been in trouble today. Go back first! Don’t make Daddy anxious. You are Guoguo’s elder brother, you should believe in him.”

Although Xu Ran was so calm, he couldn’t hide the fact that his hands was trembling non-stop.

Tangtang’s eyes suddenly turned red after such a long time when he heard Xu Ran’s words. He threw himself at Xu Ran and cried, “Dad, Guoguo asked me to leave first. I saw that he was injured. If I hadn’t gone, would I have saved him?”

Xu Ran patted him on the back and said, “Silly boy, how could the two of you deal with so many people? If you didn’t leave, maybe Lu Qi  would see your bodies lying on the ground when he came over. What should I do if this really happens? What should your Daddy do?”

Tangtang cried more and more loudly like a spoiled child, or it was like he was looking for comfort..

Xu Ran’s hands tightened and he trembled uncontrollably. Even Tangtang felt it.

In the strange eyes of Tangtang, Xu Ran let go of him and said, “Go back first! Let your Daddy know you are safe. Guoguo is our family member. His home is where we are, and he always comes back.”

Xu Ran’s words gave Tangtang no room to refuse. He nodded obediently and agreed, but his tears were flowing non-stop, and he couldn’t wipe them clean no matter how hard he tried.

Xu Ran asked Tangtang to get on the horse and told to several other soldiers, “Go back and tell Lu Qi that I took Tangtang home. Also, let him come to me tonight. I have something to say to him.”

he mounted his horse and rode away, regardless of whether these men agreed with him or not

Tangtang walked in front of Xu Ran and turned to look back at the boundless desert repeatedly at every step.
