Noble son of the poor family (13)

When eating, the smell of stewed pheasant fills the courtyard.

Yin Lao Er held the bowl, squatted under the window of Yin Lao Da next door, sucked the soup on the chicken leg, and ate it very fragrant.

The chicken given to the old man and the old lady, the old lady was reluctant to eat it, and she definitely had to wait for San Lang to come back.

Boss Yin looked at the tortillas in the bowl, as well as the scrambled eggs. What I used to think was delicious, I really can't eat it anymore. Besides, for so many years, there are scrambled eggs every day, no matter how delicious they are, they are limited to the mouth.

The Fan family on the other side saw everything in his eyes, and only sighed in his heart, "This family can't be on the stage." ”

In the middle of the night, it began to rain.

Lin Yutong woke up suddenly. Because it was cold in the house all of a sudden.

The fourth master was tired all day, and he slept very heavily at night.

Lin Yutong burned the kang and stuffed an old tree root into it. This thing is burn-resistant, and it won't be a problem to burn for a day and a night.

As the day dawned, the rain began to fall heavier.

The fourth master turned over, "It seems that I can't go up the mountain today." ”

Lin Yutong laughed a little, if it weren't for him, he would have no enthusiasm for life a long time ago. I have everything in my own space, even if I can't use it openly, but I feel a little inert in my heart. Because there is something to rely on, it is inevitable to be lazy. But the fourth master is completely different, he knows that he has to rely on, but he can still not cheat without cheating. Always curious and passionate about the unknown. Just like playing a game, he will carefully abide by the established rules, and no matter how hard he works, he will find it enjoyable. It's like he wants to rely on his own skills to support his family, serious and persistent.

"I'll take a look later, and I can get a few fish. The fourth master said, and he really planned to get up.

It's raining so hard outside, and he doesn't let up at all.

Lin Yutong hurriedly got up, "I'll go after eating." ”

After boiling a night of bone broth and a bowl of noodles, it's a meal.

"This cloak is actually not easy to make. Lin Yutong put on the coat for the fourth master, and put a hat on him, the whole fisherman.

"It's good. The fourth master was very satisfied with this dress, and even bent down and rolled up his trouser legs, "Isn't this more like that?"

Lin Yutong glanced up and down, and said twice, just have a good time.

Sending the fourth master away, Xiao He came to talk to Lin Yutong with needles and threads.

“…… It's been a few days since I went to the county seat, and I haven't come back. Xiao He held the soles of his shoes in his hands and complained to Lin Yutong.

This is talking about Jiro and Saburo.

She replied absentmindedly: "The man's house is outside, and it is not necessary that he is stumped by something." ”

The corners of Xiao He's mouth twitched, thinking of the silver he got back last time, but he didn't say anything.

As he spoke, there was a knock at the door.

"Aren't you back?" Xiao He hurriedly put down the work in his hand and leaned out in his old clothes to see.

As a result, I saw a woman in her twenties and thirties heading towards Fan's house.

She retracted her head and said to Lin Yutong, "I'll take a look." ”

Lin Yutong didn't care either, and sat at the door of the house with a bench, just enough to see the wing room where Fan lived diagonally opposite.

I saw Xiao He standing by the window of the third room, rummaging through the things on the windowsill, but slowly moved his body and walked under Fan's windowsill.

He saw Xiao He's unsightly appearance through the window, but he didn't shout out.

Xiao He looked at the big room opposite, it was cold today, the doors and windows were closed, and her courage became bigger and bigger.

There was a whisper in the room, the voice of the strange woman.

“…… My aunt overheard me and told me to come and tell her. This time it will not be sold, and when the water is distributed, there will be nothing

……”

Fan's voice was eager, "Is this really true?"

"What Lord Zhizhou meant, the master did it himself, how could it not be true?" the woman whispered softer and softer. Xiao He only vaguely heard the words "drowned", "guilty" and "rushed back to the capital".

There was a sound of the door opening in the main room, and Xiao He hurriedly retreated under the windowsill of the third room. Seeing He Shi glaring at her embarrassedly, she smiled wryly, and hurried to Lin Yutong's side.

"Erlang daughter-in-law, what are you running?" As soon as Yin Youniang opened the door, she saw Xiao He running down the steps into the rain.

Fan Shi heard the sound outside in the house, and his face immediately changed.

The woman's face turned white, and if the old man knew about such an important matter, but her aunt leaked the news, she might not be angry.

Fan grabbed the woman who was going out to take a look and shook her head gently.

Xiao He didn't hear anything, it's hard to be sure, going out in such a hurry seems a bit of a thief.

Xiao He chuckled in his heart, and before he could speak, He poked his head out of the window, "His sister-in-law, I asked her to get me the soles of my shoes quickly." A pair of soles didn't make for two days...... Why are your hands and feet so slow?"

Xiao He's also eased up at this moment, "Sister-in-law, it's raining heavily, don't I run quickly? Look at what has become of this while." So saying, the girl ran away.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. Fan said, "No matter what it hears, she has nowhere to go." Don't worry about that, I'll just look at her. ”

"Then the girl should go back to the county seat with her uncle. There's no way to stay in this place. The woman whispered, "The sooner the better, and the later the better." ”

Fan nodded, "I see." ”

Then the woman turned and walked out of the house. Seeing Lin Yutong looking at her, he smiled kindly.

What did you say, Xiao He didn't come out for half a day when he went back to the room.

Lin Yutong shouted at the door: "Second sister-in-law, you pulled me on the soles of your shoes, did you find them in your house?"

I can't do a full set of plays. Since He covered it up for her, she had to make an appearance. If you don't come out for a long time when you enter the house, doesn't it make people suspicious?

It took a while for Xiao He to turn around and come in, and the wet clothes on his body had not yet changed. The look on his face was also a little flustered.

"Look at you, it's not like the third aunt hasn't scolded you. Why are you scared like this time?" Lin Yutong handed over the sole of his shoe and joked casually.

"No! nothing. Xiao He hurriedly shook his head, "It's not about the third brother and sister, it's my mother-in-law...... Weird and scary. ”

Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?

Lin Yutong didn't ask deeply, so he stuffed the soles of his shoes into her, "Hurry up and send a messenger." ”

Xiao He took the soles of his shoes, and he had already turned around, and then asked again: "Fourth brother and sister, you said that the Qingyang River at the entrance of our village will not flood up." ”

Lin Yutong looked at Xiao He in surprise, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of being flooded." Why did the second sister-in-law remember to ask this?"

Xiao He seemed to be relieved and pointed to the rain curtain outside and said, "You look at the rain outside, I'm just blindly worried." The one in our family is not there, and I don't have a score in my heart. Crazy ......"

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yutong to speak again, he turned around and went out, heading to the wing room where the third room lived.

Lin Yutong was disturbed by the question that Xiao He asked before leaving.

What did the woman say to Fan, telling Xiao He to worry that the river would flood up?

Thinking that the fourth master was still fishing by the river, Lin Yutong got up. took the needle and thread and went to Fan's house.

Fan was a little surprised by Lin Yutong's arrival.

"Brother and sister, sit down. Fan smiled enthusiastically, and was busy making tea for Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong sat on the edge of the round table, "I thought that the third sister-in-law's family had come to deliver delicious food, so I came to the door with a cheeky face." If you don't have a good snack, this tea is fine. I can't make a three, four, five, or six. ”

Fan Shi was stunned for a moment, "Where can I not have good dim sum?" he said, and came out with a plate of jujube cakes.

Lin Yutong only glanced at the jujube cake, and smiled meaningfully at Fan: "The third sister-in-law will fool people." The mother's family came, braving the heavy rain, just to send a Chen dim sum. Since this is the third sister-in-law's hospitality, then I won't be disgusted here. ”

With that, he got up and walked out.

Fan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Lin Yutong, "Stay!"

Lin Yutong looked at Fan, "What's the matter?"

Fan grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, and Lin Yutong instantly felt that a cold thing was stuffed in his palm.

It was silver, about five taels.

I listened to Fan's words: "No matter what the second sister-in-law said to her younger sisters, please keep your younger siblings tight-lipped." ”

Lin Yutong's heart was churning, it was a very important thing, so that the Fan family was willing to spend so much. It seems that this time it was the right bet.

Lin Yutong put the silver in his sleeve, but said, "Are you really willing to use this bit of silver to seal your mouth?"

Fan's complexion changed, and Xiao He really heard it. She looked at Lin Yutong and smiled, "It seems that I really misunderstood." My brother and sister are like this now, but they don't look like they came from a small family. ”

"What should it be like to come out of a small family?" Lin Yutong pointed his finger at the brand-new pitch-black table of the round table, and raised his eyebrows to look at Fan.

Fan squinted at Lin Yutong, "Very good!" After this hurdle, let's settle the account slowly.

She turned around and took out twenty taels of silver again, "That's enough." No more, I really don't have any. ”

The Fan family only had a hundred taels of silver for the dowry. Now he took out twenty-five taels. This shows the seriousness of this matter.

Lin Yutong didn't test any deeper, and accepted the silver, "Don't worry, I'm a person who knows the rules very well." ”

Fan nodded, and said, "My younger brother and sister are from a small family, so I don't know the danger here. There are some things, not to mention that we are small people, it is my father...... That's also forced helplessness...... The gods fight, the little ghosts suffer, and we don't even have the qualifications to be little ghosts. Listen to my advice, more is better than less. If you are nosy, there will be nothing in the world. ”

Lin Yutong turned around, glanced at Fan seriously, and then said, "I've been taught!"

When I came out of Fan's house, I just saw He's head retracting from the door. Lin Yutong smiled in his heart, when passing by the door of the third room, a piece of silver just slipped out of his sleeve and fell to the ground, Lin Yutong picked it up in a panic, and with just a glance, he could see the stunned expressions of He and Xiao He......
