Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Mao
Wait for a few of them to leave. Wen Lin asked the others to pick up a lot of wood fire, and asked everyone to dig two deep pits, and when Ling Yuanchen and Uncle Li came back, the two big pits were also dug.
Wen Lin had no choice but to let the two of them fetch a lot of water. After being busy for a while, the two pots of medicine began to boil in an orderly manner. Ling Yuanchen asked Wen Lin puzzled, "What are you boiling?"
Wen Lin replied, "The weather is hot, they are thin and easy to suffer from heat stroke, and I see that many people are sick to prevent infecting others, and I went to buy medicinal materials to prevent the plague, there is no way to do anything today, I can only prevent it first."
Now they are just hungry, and once there is an epidemic here, it will be too late, and they will still expose the most important witness of this dog official, so no matter what it is, they can't be fine. ”
"Have you ever wondered what to do next?"
Wen Lin sneered: "Since there is a fake uncle here, then let's have a fake prince, you say it's okay." ”
"It's too risky, since he dares to pretend to be his uncle, it means that he is either hopelessly stupid or fearless. Now it seems that it should be the latter. Moreover, how did you know that he was a fake uncle? ”
Hearing Ling Yuanchen's melodious words, Wen Lin had no choice but to sneer and said, "My family is in the royal medicinal herb business, and several flavors of medicine are provided by my family, and I have also been to the capital many times, and I have also intersected with these court officials, I have never heard of King Wen having any uncle."
Moreover, His Royal Highness King Wen is as gentle as jade, speaks and acts politely, and the concubine Niangniang is also a gentle and generous person. King Wen is still notoriously in poor health, so he was crowned king early.
Usually he hardly goes out, I don't believe he will instruct any uncle to harm the people" Wen Lin knows that ordinary people can have a relationship with the royal family, and they will unconsciously be proud, so now she has to speak arrogantly to get past. When Ling Yuanchen heard Wen Lin's words, although he still had a lot of doubts, he still felt that this reason was acceptable.
After talking for a while, the medicine was boiled. Wen Lin and Ling Yuanchen also ended their casual conversations. "Everyone line up, and the old man helps to take care of the child so as not to be burned," After the villagers received the medicine and drank it, it was already dark, and Wen Lin and the others decided to go back to the city to discuss it first. The villagers saw that Wen Lin was leaving. They were reluctant to send Wen Lin and them away.
"Let's all go back, we'll come back to see you in a few days." Hearing this, the villagers were like taking a reassuring pill, and they also listened to Wen Lin's absence, until they couldn't see anyone, Wen Lin reluctantly put down the car curtain.
As soon as they returned to Luoyan City, Wen Lin and the others found that Long Qing was sitting leisurely in the inn drinking tea in the morning.
Long Qingxian said, "I went to the wonton stall you said today, but I didn't see anyone, and asked the old man who set up the stall next door, and said that they closed the stall after you finished eating yesterday, and they didn't show up until today. ”
"Something is going to happen to them?" Wen Lin remembered the situation of those villagers during the day, and was a little anxious.
"Probably not, the people here should be very familiar. If something happens, everyone knows about it, let's go and see it at night," but Ling Yuanchen answered.
"By the way, what have you been out of for so long today?" Long Qing asked. Wen Lin recounted the situation during the day. After hearing this, Long Qing said angrily, "Beast, eating official food, but not doing personnel. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”
Wen Lin took over and said, "What I think is, since there is a fake uncle here, why don't we also have a fake prince, it just so happens that we are going to the City Lord's Mansion to find the ice silkworm cocoon, instead of exploring at night, it is better to live directly in the convenience, since he is fake, he will definitely not find out that we are also fake." ”
After listening to Wen Lin's words, Long Qing asked the same question as Ling Yuanchen, "How do you know that he is a fake uncle?" ”。
Wen Lin felt that people really couldn't lie, and if they told a lie, they would have to use countless lies to come back, so they had to explain to Long Qing what they had said to Ling Yuanchen during the day.
"I think this is feasible," Ling Yuchen agreed, "We go to the City Lord's Mansion openly, the first is to investigate the villagers' affairs, and the second is to look at the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Long Qing also agreed, "Well, since everyone thinks it's good, you guys will eat first." In the evening, we went to the aunt's house that sold wontons. The meal was served, and a few people left for the aunt's house after eating.
Several people looked at the dilapidated home that didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and looked at Long Qing suspiciously. "This is where people tell me, just go in and have a look."
There was no candlelight at all, and they could only rely on a little moonlight to approach the room. Wen Lin asked softly, "Is anyone there?"
I asked several times but no one answered. And the eldest aunt inside the door heard a movement. Hurriedly hugged the child and put it in the closet and hid it, "Xiaomao, don't be afraid to make trouble alone, my mother will go out to see, if my mother can't come back, you will wait for the bad guy to go and then come out, go to Grandpa Fu." ”
Xiao Mao trembled her shoulders and nodded, and the woman hid behind the door with a wooden stick, her hands trembling a little. Seeing that no one answered, Wen Lin and the others had to walk in by themselves, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they were startled by the woman with a wooden stick who rushed out from behind the door.
Xiaolian was also frightened and shrunk into Long Qing's arms, which was closest to her, and Wen Lin subconsciously kicked the woman away. The woman fell heavily to the ground, and Xiao Mao heard the sound and hurriedly ran out to help the woman. A small voice echoed in the dark room, "Mother, mother, mother, don't you die, what should you do if you die, Xiaomao,"
"Xiaomao, why do you come out, you go quickly." Hearing this voice, Wen Ling felt very familiar, and called out, "Auntie, is it you," at this time, Uncle Li took out a fire fold and lit the only small candle left on the table.
Candlelight lit. Xiaolian also withdrew from Long Qing's arms. I was embarrassed to bow my head. Wen Lin could see the situation in front of him clearly by the faint candlelight.
The aunt was lying on the ground dying, and Xiao Mao was crying, trying to help the aunt up, but unfortunately the person was too small to pull it up for a long time, "Mother, get up, you get up, bad people, you bad people." Why are you bullying my mother, my mother is going to die, my mother is going to die. Woooooooo ”
As he spoke, he got up and punched and kicked Wen Lin's group. "Xiaomao, do you remember my brother. My brother went to your wonton stall two days ago to eat wontons,"
