Chapter 27: The Three of Them Become Shadows
He went up to the mountains early in the morning to hunt, and he didn't know anything about what had happened today, and he had a harat in his hand, and a hunting knife on his back, and a hunting suit made of leather on his body made of him even more powerful.
When Lin Zhong walked into his yard and was about to speak, he heard a shouting voice coming from inside the house: "Mother, you said that my brother was fortunate that he did not marry that widow, and I heard that today she bought a lot of rice that she could not eat." ”
This is the voice of his sister Lin Mei.
Hearing the word widow, Lin Zhong naturally thought of Shen Qingqing, did not make a sound, and continued to listen through the window.
Aunt Lin still has the usual shrill voice: "That widow is really unlucky, your second brother is going to be promoted, how can he get involved with that ignorant widow." I saw that no one wanted the second rice, and only the widow ate it. ”
"Is she so poor?" Lin Zhong couldn't help but talk to himself, and what Lin Nan said completely pulled his attention away.
Lin Nan was originally studying, but he also spoke: "Today, the widow even went to the academy to find me, saying that for her son's enrollment, I just wanted to pester me." ”
"What?" When Aunt Lin heard this, she felt as if she had been bitten by a dog. "The widow didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Lin Nan shook his head, and the person in his mouth was also: "Of course there is no more, the master treats me very well, and when I saw that the widow came to pester me, I didn't let her son go to school." ”
Lin Zhong couldn't hear what was said in the room anymore, and he just felt guilty and distressed in his heart, and the distress was because Shen Qingqing could only eat rice, and the guilt was because his younger brother Haohao couldn't go to school.
Thinking about it, he looked down at the hare in his hand and went out without saying a word.
These days, Xiao Douding studies very hard, and his little head is shaking and talking about the Analects, which is really presentable.
Shen Qingqing understood Xiao Douding's hard work, thinking about making him some delicious supplements, and was thinking about cooking the pork belly he bought from the bazaar, when he heard someone knocking on the door.
The back in the fence forest looks very majestic, standing there silently like a mountain.
Shen Qingqing opened the door and was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
"I ......" Lin Zhong's face was honest, he grabbed his head and didn't know how to speak, just when he wanted to put the rabbit in Shen Qingqing's arms and leave, he didn't expect Shen Qingqing to take a step back.
She had a smile on her face: "Don't run away without saying anything to me like last time, I'm not a dominatrix and I don't have to say a word. ”
Shen Qingqing was a joke, Lin Zhong was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "I heard that because Lin Nanhaohao did not enroll, this is ......"
As he spoke, the hare in his hand stretched forward.
Shen Qingqing didn't pick it up, just ran his hair: "Hmm...... Hao Hao has already entered the school, he is a talent but has great skills, you don't have to worry, you don't have to give me this hare, Baba's hunting in the mountains is very hard, you can take it back yourself. ”
Who knew that there was still a stubborn temper in the forest, and he said: "This hare was sent to you, you can take it." ”
"You ......"
Shen Qingqing had no choice but to take him, thinking that she would have to open meat for dinner today anyway, so she should have bought this hare, so she took out the money from her purse: "It's okay, if you have to give it to me, you can accept this money, and I should buy it." ”
"I don't want money."
Seeing this, Lin Zhong directly put down the hare and ran away.
Shen Qingqing's movements were still in mid-air, and when he saw his fast running figure, he suddenly smiled, but when he held the hare in his hand, he was worried for a while.
This Aunt Lin is harsh, and today she went home empty-handed while hunting in the forest, and she didn't know how to embarrass him.
This Shen Qingqing's worry is not unreasonable, when Lin Zhong returned home, Aunt Lin was cooking, and when she saw that his hands were empty, her face instantly darkened: "Let you go up the mountain to hunt, why didn't you bring anything back?" ”
After sitting down in the forest for a day, he sat down and drank tea: "There are many hunters today, and there are not many wild things on the mountain, so I didn't catch them." ”
"Oops!" As soon as Aunt Lin heard this, she came out with a kitchen knife in her hand, scolding in her mouth. "You useless thing, you can't even hunt in the mountains, what use do you say I raise you?"
Aunt Lin's words are funny, the Lin family has a family of five, Lin Nan doesn't study and work, Lin Mei can't work as a woman, and the two old bones of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin can't move, and I don't know who raises who in this family.
Lin Zhong didn't want to talk too much, and he didn't talk, but Lin Nan, who was studying in the inner room, heard that his brother didn't hit the prey back, but began to hang the book bag: "Yaoqin ignores the book and sleeps, and she is all by herself." My eldest brother's hunting skills have always been very good, why didn't he catch the prey today, I'm afraid that he was alone in the mountains and stole the leisure. ”
Aunt Lin didn't understand what this verse meant, but she felt that Lin Nan was educated, and when she saw Lin Zhong again, she was very worried: "I think your brother is right, you are lazy." ”
"I ......" Lin Zhong thought for a while, and simply didn't defend himself.
This made Aunt Lin grab the handle even more, and threw the kitchen knife directly on the table, and didn't cook the meal: "Do you know your brother's ability, our Lin family finally came up with a scholar, which of the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone doesn't cost money, and which one doesn't need to be dotted in the relationship?" ”
That's right, someone else as big as Lin Nan has long supported a family, only Lin Nan is still a rice worm in the family, and he spends a lot of money on reading.
Aunt Lin crossed her hands on her hips, and the more she spoke, the more energetic she became: "I work hard for the family all day long, and your brother is about to take the exam, so you hurry up and go to the mountains to hunt a deer and give the antler velvet to Mr. as a gift, in case you become your brother, you will be lifted." ”
If only this deer was so easy to fight as Aunt Lin said.
"Mother." Lin Zhong didn't understand anymore. "What does this Lin Nanzhong have to do with people fighting deer?"
"You're an elm head." Aunt Lin pointed to Lin Zhong's ears, eager to eat him. "If you don't give a gift to your husband, where will this gentleman take care of your brother? Your brother can't be promoted, are you responsible? ”
Seeing that Lin Zhong didn't speak, Aunt Lin intensified even more, and directly poured the tea in Lin Zhong's hand on the ground: "Drink, drink!" How did I raise you lazy man, hurry up and go and fetch a deer for me, and don't go home if you can't hit a deer today. ”
said that, he really drove the forest outside.
Lin Zhong stood in place, angry and aggrieved for a while: "Mother, it's dark now, where can I go to find a deer for you, besides, I haven't even eaten a hot meal after being tired for a day." ”
He went hunting since the sky was unknown, and he didn't come back until now, not to mention whether he had hunted anything, even this suffering must be understood.
Aunt Lin slashed the kitchen knife on the table: "Are you still tired?" I get up early and work hard for this family, your brother studies so hard, have you ever heard him say that he is tired? You don't fight deer, you don't give gifts, how can Lin Nan be admitted to lift people. Hurry up and get me a deer. ”
"Mother, I ......" Lin Zhong wanted to say something, but when he saw Aunt Lin's face, he suddenly lost interest.
Lin Zhong walked out of the house with a hunting knife, and there was a scolding voice from Aunt Lin behind him.
Here, Shen Qingqing had just skinned the rabbit and was about to pour a basin of blood into the yard when the woman seemed to see a figure through the fence courtyard wall.
She approached, but it didn't happen: "In the woods? Why are you here again? ”
After sending things in the forest before, I didn't come back, why did I come back today?
Lin Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard Shen Qingqing's scream, he touched the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I'm just coming over to take a look." ”
"Come and see?" Shen Qingqing stared at the black lights outside, and didn't know what to see.
After Lin Zhong came out of the house, he just felt very depressed, and he didn't know how to walk to Shen Qingqing's door, as if it was an invisible dependence.
Lin Zhong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "You go in quickly, I'm leaving." ”
"Alas!" Shen Qingqing suddenly called him and asked tentatively. "You probably haven't eaten, have you?"
Although Shen Qingqing didn't know what the Lin family's family affairs were, she knew from her previous contact that Aunt Lin had a lot of resentment towards Lin Zhong.
"Yes." Lin Zhong smiled helplessly. "My mother insisted that I go hunting in the mountains, and I was kicked out before I could eat."
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart, where to go hunting at night?
She thought for a while, and then pulled Lin Zhong's arm: "It's just right, I'm cooking, you can come and eat together." ”
"I ...... Although the ......" hesitated, Lin Zhong still followed him into the house.
Lin Zhong looked at the guys in the house and couldn't help but be curious, and just when he wanted to ask, Shen Qingqing opened his mouth in the kitchen and asked, "Can you eat spicy food?" ”
"Yes."
Lin Zhong simply dispelled his thoughts, and watched Shen Qingqing cooking in the kitchen, playing with Xiaodouding by himself.
Shen Qingqing made a spicy rabbit, this hare is fresh and tender, and stir-fried with chili oil is the most tender and delicious.
In less than half an hour, Shen Qingqing brought the spicy rabbit and two small green vegetables to the table.
Shen Qingqing sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the bowl in the forest: "You can taste it quickly." ”
"Done." The rabbit was put in the mouth in the forest, and it was extremely spicy and tender for a while.
He nodded hurriedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
But Xiao Douding put the chopsticks on the table: "My mother is eccentric, and she will not give me meat for Uncle Linzhong." ”
Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in the bowl of Xiaodouding: "Of course I sandwiched it for Haohao, and I sandwiched the best piece for Haohao." ”
Xiao Douding is happy at this time, and it is not good for three people to eat this meal.
