Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool” - Chapter 288

Tangtang was depressed all the way, and so was Xu Ran .They rode home without speaking the whole way.

The courtyard door was wide open. Liu Tong, who was sitting under the eaves and picking up vegetables, he immediately stood up happily when he saw Xu Ran and Tangtang coming in from the door. Seeing Tangtang’s messy body, Liu Tong  asked, “What’s wrong with you? How did you get into this?”

Seeing that no one else following them, Liu Tong asked again, “Where’s Guoguo, Ran and Tangtang?Why didn’t he come back?”

Tangtang turned his eyes to Xu Ran and Xu Ran shook his head at him, indicating that Liu Tong did not know about this.

Seeing that both of them didn’t say anything, Liu Tong thought about his panic in the morning and Ran hurriedly ran out of the house. His heart was filled with a bad foreboding.

Shaking Xu Ran, Liu Tong asked, “Where’s Guoguo, Ran? Tell me where Guoguo is?”

Xu Ran closed his eyes and didn’t know how to face Liu Tong. He promised him in the morning that everything would be fine, but now he didn’t bring his son back. He didn’t even know if Guoguo was alive or dead.

Seeing Xu Ran’s expression, Liu Tong let go of him slowly and said, “Ran, tell me! I’m fine.”

Tangtang turned away with his eyes red. Xu Ran said to Liu Tong, with his eyes closing,” In fact, I didn’t know what had happened. The person sent by Lu Qi just told me that Guoguo had an accident. I didn’t see Guoguo when I arrived there and just saw Tangtang. Seeing Tangtang was looking for Guoguo, I brought him back.”

Tangtang would be the only one who could explain what had happened then. Being much calmer, Liu Tong walked up to Tangtang and asked him, “Tangtang, tell Daddy, what happened to you?”

Tangtang didn’t want to cry in front of Liu Tong because he knew that Daddy would be even sadder if he cried. Wiping his face and raising his head to Liu Tong, Tangtang replied, “Daddy, when we rode to the grass, we found some barbarians in the grass. There were more than a hundred of barbarians there, but we were only two and without any weapons in our hands. So after fighting with them with the knives we snatched from their hands, we couldn’t beat them. Guoguo asked me to get help when he was injured, then I met uncle Lu Qi on the way. But when we came back, apart from the bodies on the ground, everyone disappeared, including Guoguo.

After this, Tangtang said no more.

Liu Tong trembled and nearly fell over. Xu Ran hurriedly reached out to hold him, and let go of his hand after he stabilized himself.

The sun was shining brightly, but they felt cold and unconsciousness.

After a long time, Liu Tong recovered his voice and asked Tangtang, “Tangtang, your brother wasn’t on the ground, so your brother is still alive, right?”

Looking at Liu Tong, Tangtang didn’t know how to answer. No one knew how was Guoguo now.

At last, Xu Ran said, ” We haven’t seen Guoguo’s corpse, so Guoguo must be fine now. If they want to kill Guoguo, Guoguo must be dead and was lying on the ground. So the main thing now we shall do is to find Guoguo and then prepare to fight the Barbarian. Tongtong, as long as we don’t see the corpse of Guoguo, Guoguo is alive, okay?”

Liu Tong was relieved to hear Xu Ran’s words, then he nodded and said, “Ran, I got it. I’ll wait for Guoguo to come back. You must find him and take him home.”

After this, Liu Tong walked into the house with the basket of vegetables. Xu Ran didn’t follow him, he knew that Liu Tong was upset and it was better for him to cry alone for a while.

Baozi ran out after Liu Tong entered the house. Seeing that there was only Tangtang without Guoguo, he asked Xu Ran, “Dad, where is Second Brother? Where did Second Brother go?”

Tangtang’s embarrassment made Baozi feel that something bad had happened, and the fact that he didn’t see Guoguo reinforced his conviction.

Xu Ran squatted down, reached out to grab Baozi’s arm and said, “Your second brother has gone out to work. He will be back in a few days. Take your big brother to wash his face first. Look at him, how dirty and ugly he is now!”

As he spoke, Xu Ran gave Tangtang a look of disdain.

Knowing that Xu Ran was trying to appease Baozi, Tangtang cooperated and reached out to hold Baozi.

Although Baozi felt strange, he didn’t think much about it, taking Tangtang’s hand, and left.

After they left, Xu Ran suddenly sank down on the ground, smiling bitterly. He was really afraid something would happen to Guoguo.

Xu Ran was sitting on the ground, with his mind blank. He forced himself to think about something, but he couldn’t focus on it. His hand was still trembling, couldn’t stop. Even if the other hand held the trembling hand, it was the same.

The big sun was shining fiercely, which made Xu Ran’s sweat drip down one by one, but he had no intention of moving.

He didn’t understand why the barbarian prefered aggression or why those people were unwilling to let go of the two children.

The whole yard was silent. From the afternoon to the evening, Xu Ran sat for a long time. When Gao Quan and the others came back, they found him still sitting on the ground and pulled him up.

As soon as Shao Yu entered, he saw Xu Ran sitting on the ground and asked, “Xu Ran, why are you sitting on the ground? Gao Quan, hurry up and pull him up.”

Hearing Shao Yu’s words, Gao Quan reached out to pull Xu Ran up, he found that his face was red. It was obvious that he was suffering from sunstroke.

Xu Ran’s forehead was hot, and he seemed unconscious, letting Gao Quan pull him up.

When Shao Yu directed Gao Quan to get Xu Ran into the house, he heard a low snoring from inside. It was obvious that someone was crying. Shao Yu pushed the door open and saw that Liu Tong was sitting on the bed with his eyes red.

Asking Gao Quan to help Xu Ran in ,Shao Yu asked Liu Tong what had happened.

Liu Tong stopped crying when he saw Shao Yu and the others. Seeing Xu Ran’s red face, Liu Tong was worried and asked Shao Yu anxiously, “What’s wrong with him?”

Shao Yu shook his head and answered, “We don’t know either. We saw him sitting in the yard when we came back. What happened to you? The door is wide open, Xu Ran is sitting in the yard while you are hiding in the house and crying. But where are the children?”

Liu Tong looked outside and found that it was dark. He had never gone out since he entered the house in the afternoon. He didn’t know what had happened outside. How could Ran faint? How were Tangtang and Baozi?”

Liu Tong, who came back to his senses, thought of a lot of questions and became very anxious.

Liu Tong ran out of the house hurriedly, leaving the three people behind, without hearing Shao Yu call him.

Looking at Xu Ran, who was lying on the bed, Gao Quan asked Shao Yu, “What should we do?”

Seeing that Xu Ran was still sweating, Shao Yu thought he must be very serious ill. Then he said to Gao Quan, “Bring him some water to wipe his face and cool him down. I’ll call a doctor.”

It was not proper for Shao Yu to take care of Xu Ran, so Gao Quan agreed and said to him, “It’s dark, take the lantern and be careful.”

Shao Yu nodded and replied, “I know, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

After saying that, he left. Gao Quan got some water to wipe the sweat on Xu Ran.

As for Liu Tong, he went straight to Baozi’s room after leaving his room. He pushed open the door and looked around the room, but he couldn’t find anyone there. Then he ran to Tangtang’s room hurriedly and found Tangtang was sleeping on Baozi’s bed. Both of them slept sweatu. Seeing this, Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

He went to the room to find a cattail fan and fanned them. Seeing that the two children were about to wake up, Liu Tong stopped.

Tangtang woke up first. Before he was fully awake, he called Daddy and got out of bed. It was so hot, being woken up by Tangtang, Baozi was about to cry.

Liu Tong quickly fanned him again and said to Tangtang, “Tangtang, look after Baozi and wash his face. I’ll go to see your Dad first. He has fainted.”

Liu Tong was calm when he said this. He left after speaking, before Tangtang could even ask him why Dad fainted.

Liu Tong did not know what was going on with him. He was not worried when he saw Ran fainting. He couldn’ t believe that he could say these words in such a calm voice. But this was just the idea of not stepping into the house.

After entering, another kind of feeling emerged in his heart. Seeing Xu Ran lying quietly on the bed, motionless,Liu Tong’s heart ached greatly. Suddenly a strange thought came into his mind that Ran would probably sleep forever and never wake up.

This thought shocked Liu Tong, he jumped to the bedside and kept calling Xu Ran’s name.

Gao Quan, who had just come in from outside, was shocked by Liu Tong. He hesitated for a long time before saying, “Second Young Master, Xu Ran is fine. He’s just in the sun for too long and has got heatstroke. Shao Yu has gone to ask a doctor and Second Young Master will wake up soon.”

Gao Quan also had some medical skills. He had just checked for Xu Ran and made sure that he was not serious, so he dared to tell Liu Tong that Xu Ran was just basked for too long.

Hearing what Gao Quan said, Liu Tong understood. Looking at Xu Ran’s red face, he realized that what Gao Quan said was true and stopped shouting.

Seeing the water brought by Gao Quan, Liu Tong stood up and said, “Gao Quan, wipe Ran first. I’ll go to the kitchen to get some food. Tangtang hasn’t even eaten lunch yet.”

Gao Quan nodded and watched Liu Tong walk out.
