After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 84 Take a Break

Seeing that everyone was excited to leave Ningshui Village, but also quite tired, Lü Xinyan kept looking for a place where they could rest for a while.

In fact, several night owls were always around them, responsible for chasing away snakes, rats, insects and ants along the way, and cleaning up the tire tracks and footprints left by the family on their journey.

Fortunately, with the help of the night owl, Lü Xinyan quickly found a sheltered place.

They've already left the area of ​​Ningshui Village. The family is safe for now, so they should rest for a while and continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

If you're exhausted, you won't have the energy to travel during the day, which would actually make things more dangerous.

After all, when traveling during the day, Lü Xinyan couldn't use the cover of night to get help from night owls.

At that time, they will need to face various dangers directly and guard against threats from refugees. It will be quite troublesome and mentally taxing. They will need to rest well and recharge their energy.

After walking for a while, Lü Xinyan saw a relatively sheltered and flat place, and then said, "Father, Mother, we have walked quite a distance, and we are still quite far from Ningshui Village. Let's rest under the trees over there for a while, and continue our journey when it gets light."

"Right now, the people in Ningshui Village may not know that we left the village ahead of schedule. By the time they go to check on us tomorrow, we will have already gone much further and they won't be able to catch up."

"Let's rest for a bit and recover our strength. That way, it will be relatively safer for us to continue our journey when it gets light."

"It's so dark, it's not safe for us to continue traveling at night."

The people in Ningshui Village, disturbed by the strange phenomena, thought that the ancestor in the teacher's eyes had truly appeared, which was why they were in a hurry to let their family leave Ningshui Village. They figured that the ancestor wouldn't come after them for the time being, nor would they know the direction their family had left in.

So, at least we'll have to wait until noon tomorrow. When Wu Guizhi returns to Ningshui Village from her parents' home and discovers this problem, and realizes she can't explain it to the Yuan family, it will be too late.

Having delayed for so long, their family was already far away from Ningshui Village, so they didn't need to worry about being caught by those people.

Most importantly, they will continue their journey early tomorrow morning and should be able to enter the territory of Luzhou, thus temporarily escaping the Yuan family's sphere of influence.

That way, their family will be safer.

Moreover, traveling at night like this is quite exhausting for the whole family. Lü Xinyan herself is in good health, has better physical strength, and excellent night vision, so it doesn't bother her and she can keep going.

However, for the father and mother, as well as the injured and unconscious elder brother Lü Muren, such a drain would be even greater, which would not be worthwhile.

Of course, Lü Xinyan was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. If she were really unlucky enough to be caught by those people from Ningshui Village and they tried to forcibly deal with her family, Lü Xinyan would have other ways to deal with it.

The chances of being caught up were slim, which naturally put Lü Xinyan at ease.

This time, the family left Ningshui Village with great fear and were still somewhat tired after the tension and excitement.

In addition, they had traveled such a long way under the cover of darkness, and the family had suffered a lot these past few days. They hadn't had enough to eat and were all quite weak. Lü Xinyan didn't want them to be too tired.

Let's rest here for a bit, and have something to eat tomorrow morning to recharge. That should make our journey safer and also speed up our travel during the day.

The sheltered spot under the tree not far away was a perfect place for them to rest.

Looking at the family by the firelight, Lü Daquan knew they were all exhausted. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yanbao, we'll listen to you. Let's rest here for a while."

"It's too dark at night. Traveling at night is indeed not safe and will consume a lot of energy. Let's take a quick rest and continue our journey early tomorrow morning. That will definitely be safer."

"We'll rest there up ahead."

In fact, Lü Daquan was still somewhat uneasy and anxious.

They finally left Ningshui Village, and they left openly and legitimately, with all sorts of documents. They also severed ties with the Lü family of Ningshui Village, meaning they would no longer have to associate with them. All of this made Lü Daquan feel much more at ease.

Lu Daquan knew he wasn't a member of the Lu clan and that none of his family members were listed in the family genealogy. In reality, it was just that the people at the old Lu family residence treated him like a beast of burden, making him support them.

Unfortunately, Ningshui Village is mostly inhabited by members of the Lü clan, who are in cahoots and bound by the concept of filial piety, making it difficult for Lü Daquan to escape their control.

As a result, this matter went so smoothly that he completely severed ties with the Lü clan of Ningshui Village. He was finally free from the exploitation of the Lü clan. Lü Daquan must have wanted to get away from Ningshui Village and those people as soon as possible to avoid any further changes that might cause such a good opportunity to be wasted.

If possible, Lü Daquan wanted to continue his journey and leave, further away from Ningshui Village.

Having finally escaped, Lü Daquan was genuinely worried that he would fall back into the life of being treated like a slave.

Furthermore, with his daughter Lü Xinyan back, Lü Daquan was even more eager to protect her and prevent her from being bullied by the people of Ningshui Village.

However, since his daughter had already spoken, and seeing that his family was tired, Lü Daquan calmed down and knew that they needed to rest first.

After settling in, the family tidied up and took a break.

Lu Daquan insisted on keeping watch first, so that they could all go and rest.

They are still in the wild, and the surrounding area may be quite dangerous, so Lü Daquan is worried.

Although Lü Xinyan wasn't tired, she knew what her father, Lü Daquan, was worried about, so she didn't object. She took the time to rest and recover, and then she could take over the night watch.

Lu Xinyan was also very worried about her father's health and hoped to share some of the burden with him.

Moreover, she was strong, had some martial arts skills, and was in the best physical condition among their family members. Lü Xinyan was confident she could persuade her father, but she wasn't too worried.

First, her father, Lü Daquan, was put in charge of guarding the area. Lü Xinyan did not object, not wanting to waste her father's good intentions.

At this moment, leaning against her mother Xie Shulan, Lü Xinyan felt very at ease.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before when she was in the Yuan family.

Although she only wanted to take a nap, Lü Xinyan actually fell asleep peacefully under her mother's gentle patting.
