Chapter 285: Concealment
Lin Mo then took out a box and said: "These are leather boots from the Western Regions, I remember you said that you wanted to wear them to see what it feels like to wear them, it just so happened that I bought a pair here, and now I will give them to you." As he spoke, he opened the box, and a sleek boot with an exotic pattern was placed in it, the surface of the boot was extremely smooth, and it looked particularly unique in the sunlight.
Tao An couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at his body, he remembered that when he was trapped in the cave, Lin Mo asked them what they wanted most to get out alive, Tao An had seen a foreigner before, he was wearing a pair of leather boots, and he was very comfortable at first glance, and his shoes were worn out, so he wanted a pair of shoes like that at that time, but this leather was not an ordinary cowhide, but an exotic camel cowhide, and this boot was complicated, and few people in the entire Da Ling Dynasty could make it, he inquired at the time, a pair of boots cost seventy taels of silver, He didn't even have seven taels on him, let alone seventy taels of silver to buy a pair of shoes. He forgot about it after he said it at the time, but he didn't expect Lin Mo to remember it.
Tao An hurriedly shook his head and said, "This thing is too valuable, I can't ask for it, Lin Gongzi, you better take it back." Lin Mo shook his head when he heard this: "Expensive is silver, can silver be expensive?" You can be regarded as my savior, you deserve this thing, you should take it quickly, if you don't take it, I'll throw it away, I don't want to wear these boots anyway. Saying that he was about to throw it away, Tao An hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and took the boots from Lin Mo's hand, and Lin Mo left satisfied. After Lin Mo left, Tao An hesitated a little, but finally made up his mind and immediately turned around and ran out of the city.
Lin Mo wanted to find Zhao Pu first and let him lead his family to thank those officials, but today Zhao Pu was not there, so he had to give up. He now plans to go to Ma's house first, see Ma Zhiyuan and Ma Ruoya, and then go back to General Town, and then come to Qiannan tomorrow to find Zhao Pu.
The carriage stopped in front of the Ma family, and when the porter Zheng Wuyi saw that it was Lin Mo, he immediately ran forward and said respectfully: "Son, why are you here?" Lin Mo was a little uncomfortable when he saw that Zheng Wu was so enthusiastic, and then said: "I happen to be in Nannan, and I plan to come to visit Uncle Ma." Saying that, he took some gifts from the car, and when Zheng Wuyi saw it, he immediately stepped forward to take the gifts, and then led Lin Mo into the mansion.
When Ma Zhiyuan heard that Lin Mo was coming, he immediately came to the front hall, and when Ma Zhiyuan saw Lin Mo, he said, "Lin Mo, aren't you injured?" How did it get better so quickly? As soon as Lin Mo heard this, he knew that the news of his injury had come here, so he said: "I was only injured by the bandit last time, and the injury has not healed, and now it is basically healed, so uncle doesn't have to worry." ”
Ma Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this, and then asked about Lin Mo's recent situation, Lin Mo had to tell him about what happened recently, especially that he was plotted by the remnants of the bandits, but fortunately Du Shaofu arrived in time, so he saved himself, but Hu Lu did die unexpectedly and tragically, of course Lin Mo would not say that it was planned by himself, including Hu Lu's death, it was all intentional by himself.
Ma Zhiyuan watched Lin Mo carefully tell himself about the last time he was attacked by the remnants of the bandits, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just listened carefully to Lin Mo telling the story according to his script.
When Lin Mo finished speaking, Ma Zhiyuan exclaimed at the right time: "Lin Mo is a Jiren this time, and he escaped death, but now think about good poetry."
Some fears, you should pay attention in the future, after all, this life is only one life for anyone, don't give your life in vain. Lin Mo smiled when he heard this: "What my uncle said is that I am not a nine-life cat, and I naturally have to cherish this life." After hearing this, Ma Zhiyuan looked at Lin Mo, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this time, a hurried footstep came from outside the hall, and after a while, Ma Ruoya's figure appeared outside the door, Ma Ruoyan saw Lin Mo and hurriedly ran over, kept looking Lin Mo up and down, her eyes were full of worry, and she asked urgently: "Lin Mo, did you cause trouble again this time?" How did I hear you were hurt? Lin Mo said helplessly when he heard this: "Why am I causing trouble?" Am I just a troublemaker? ”
Ma Ruoya realized that she was wrong, so she hurriedly asked, "What's going on this time?" When Lin Mo heard this, he had to repeat what he had just said, and Ma Ruoyan called even more after hearing it, and hurriedly said: "This gang of bandits is really entangled, Lin Mo, you must be careful in the future." ”
Lin Mo had no choice but to nod when he heard this, Ma Zhiyuan saw that Ma Ruoya cared about Lin Mo so much, and that demeanor made him realize something, so he coughed twice, Ma Ruoyan realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said: "Dad, you go on, I'll go back to the room." With that, he left as if he were running away.
Ma Zhiyuan looked at his daughter's back, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Ma Zhiyuan said: "Wu Fuzi led the students out on an outing today, you came to meet him this time, he is very satisfied with you as a student, and always praises you intentionally or unintentionally, but he always says that you will miss the road when you are engaged in business, let you study hard and get the top prize in the future." Lin Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and he didn't want to work hard for the silver, the main thing was that he didn't have money, who would like to work if he was rich.
Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You must drink this wine, this time thanks to you, Ruoya can be safe, you must stay tonight, I will accompany you to drink a few glasses, which can be regarded as a slight expression of gratitude in my heart." ”
When Lin Mo heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It is not only up to me to be able to rescue Ruoya this time, but also Zhao Zhutou and the officials, as well as Du Fuyin of Yunzhou, if it were not for them, how could I have rescued Ruoya single-handedly." ”
As soon as Lin Mo said this, Ma Zhiyuan suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked someone to bring a silver ticket from the money village and said: "I have helped you store the thousands of taels of silver you gave last time, you take this silver ticket, as for Zhao Pu and them, I gave two hundred taels each, I gave three hundred taels for those who were disabled, and I gave five hundred taels for those who were seriously injured and died, which is my heart." ”
Lin Mo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a servant who died this time?" And those who are disabled? Ma Zhiyuan looked at Lin Mo suspiciously: "This time, there are a total of twenty-three people including Zhao Pu, three of whom died, and more than ten people were seriously injured, seven or eight of them were either disabled in their hands and feet, or they could only rest in bed after falling ill. Zhao Pu didn't write to tell you about this? ”
Lin Mo's face changed when he heard this, and he said urgently: "He only said that a few brothers were injured, and it was fine, so I don't have to worry about it, and I can recover from my injuries." Then Lin Mo got up and said, "Uncle, I have some things to deal with, so I'll take the first step, and I'll talk to my uncle next time." Then Lin Mo turned around and walked out of the hall without looking back, Ma Zhiyuan sighed when he saw this, and said to himself
"I don't know how you're going to decide this. ”
Lin Mo was angry and ashamed at this time, he ignored Zhao Pu and them in Yunzhou, this time the gang of thieves was not idle at first glance, how could Zhao Pu and these servants leave so much, and they also blamed themselves for this matter, and did not find the problem in Zhao Pu's letter. Lin Mo sat in the car and went straight to Zhao Pu's house, Zhao Pu's home was not in the city, but in a village one mile outside the city.
When Lin Mo arrived, the door of Zhao Pu's house was closed, Lin Mo stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and when the person who opened the door saw that it was Lin Mo, his face immediately changed in fright, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Lin Gongzi, why are you here?" ”
"Tao An, where is Zhao Zhutou?" Lin Mo asked anxiously. Tao An hurriedly said: "Zhao Zhutou is not at home, and I haven't found anyone here." Lin Mo didn't talk nonsense when he heard it, he directly pushed open the door and walked in, Tao An couldn't stop him if he wanted to. When Lin Mo entered, he found that there were more than a dozen people sitting in Zhao Pu's house, and they were the same people who followed him to save Ma Ruoya.
As soon as everyone saw Lin Mo coming, they hurriedly got up and came to greet them, led by Zhao Pu, who hurriedly said when Zhao Pu saw Lin Mo: "Lin Mo, why are you here?" Aren't you supposed to recuperate in Yunzhou? ”
Lin Mo didn't answer when he heard this, but looked at the people around him seriously, Lin Mo found that there were indeed a few fewer people in this person, and a few people were limping when they were unable to walk. Seeing this, Lin Mo asked directly, "How long are you going to hide this from me?" ”
Zhao Pu knew that Lin Mo already knew the situation and no longer concealed it, and said directly: "I'm mainly afraid that you will be worried and affect your injuries." Lin Mo hurriedly said: "These brothers are gone, what is my injury?" ”
Tao An on the side hurriedly said: "Lin Gongzi, don't blame Zhao Zhutou, we let us hide this from you, you are the pride of our Qiannan, and you will be the champion in the future, we can't affect your injury, if the injury is not healed and the root of the disease is the root of the disease, this is our sin." The officials on the side hurriedly chimed in, telling Lin Mo not to think about it. Lin Mo was touched by the simple words of these people, such people, Lin Mo couldn't say no to them, and he couldn't live up to their kindness.
Lin Mo said: "This time you are disabled for my business, and some people have lost their lives, I said that I will be responsible for this matter, and I will definitely be responsible to the end." ”
Zhao Pu on the side hurriedly said: "Lin Mo, don't think about it, this time we all received an order from the county magistrate to follow you, and although some people were injured this time, some people lost their lives, but a few hundred taels of this family is enough, even if they live for a lifetime, they can't earn five hundred taels of silver." ”
The official on the side echoed: "Yes, we are tired and tired of living for only a dozen taels of silver a year, and we got five hundred taels for this death, and I now think it would be better to die at the beginning." Saying that, everyone laughed like a heckler, Lin Mo knew that they were saying this intentionally so that they didn't blame themselves so much.
