Lu Zhifeng was also afraid. If they went, their guns would be confiscated. He and his daughter would have to live at the mercy of others for the rest of their days, with no real security.
The food Jiang Si had traded them would last the father and daughter at least three years if they were frugal.
As long as they found a water source, they could figure out a way to grow some food in the watchtower.
Life could slowly get better.
After careful consideration, Lu Zhifeng asked Niu Niu, "Do you want to stay here?"
Niu Niu smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents as bright as the moon.
"I'll be wherever Dad is, but I like our home more!"
Lu Zhifeng smiled and patted her head, then looked at Jiang Si. "We're not going either!"
Qin Shen hadn't shown the slightest interest in the rescue team from the very beginning.
Only after everyone had agreed did he speak. "Then let's go."
