Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps overhead, Lin Jin and King Fujun glanced at each other in the dark and narrow cabin, and invariably made a "silence" gesture to each other, and then pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the movement above.

Then, there was a piercing grinding sound from above, as if something heavy had been pushed away, and the sound of complaining followed: "Pressing such a thing on it, it's not too heavy, can you be so careful?" These two people, one and a half children, and the other are adults, but they have never worked at first glance, and we are now on the river, even if they let them out, where can they go? Is it possible that you still want to jump into the river and escape? If that's the case, let's wait to feed the fish in the river. Damn, it's going to die. ”

As he spoke, a square hole was opened overhead, and a bright light suddenly shone in. Lin Jin, who looked up, was caught off guard, the sunlight hit her eyes, her eyes were irritated, she hurt, and she couldn't help but cry.

She wiped her tears, rubbed her eyes, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked up, a middle-aged man with a topless body and not a tall figure, but very stocky, appeared in her sight.

The man raised his hand, and a basket containing the steamed buns she had eaten earlier was thrown down. The basket fell on the bilge floor and was crooked, and five or six black buns rolled out of it, and when they came into contact with the board, they made a "thump" sound like a stone falling to the ground.

The man saw Lin Jin and said loudly: "Boy, this is your next meal, save some food, this is your amount for the next few days, if you accidentally eat it in one go, don't blame me for not reminding you if you are hungry later." ”

Lin Jin glanced at the steamed buns in the basket, estimated the number, and hurriedly called out to the man when he turned around and was about to leave: "You wait a minute." After saying that, he ran to the side and picked up the jar of water and held it up to him, "If the steamed bun is for a few days, and you don't bring us food after that, then will you also give us the water we have for the next few days?" ”

Anyone who has been running on water for a long time knows that you can eat one or two meals less, but you can't miss water. Seeing Lin Jin's actions, the man said, "Hey, little rabbit, are you quite clever." Okay, if you keep this cleverness, even if you become a slave to others in the future, maybe you can still get out of the mix. ”

Lin Jin saw that this man's attitude was good, on the one hand, it was to test it, and on the other hand, he stated the facts: "Thank you, uncle, can you give us more water, this jar is too small, even if it is full, I'm afraid it won't be enough for me and the two of us to drink." ”

"Wait." The man was not angry at Lin Jin's inches, not only filled the jug that Lin Jin brought, but also brought a jug about the same size as her water can, which was also full of water.

Lin Jin took the two jugs and thanked each other again.

The man said angrily, "Okay, don't come to those empty ones." Everything is given to you, save some use, and you won't have the time to wait for you in the next few days. After saying that, he beckoned his companions to help him close the "cabin door" together.

"You are kind, you will give whatever people want." The companion laughed as he worked.

"What kind or unkind, you have to think that we are not serving them, it is silver, but just some water, and this requirement can still be met."

……

Lin Jin subconsciously stretched out her hand on the top of her head, blocking the dust that shook the falling when the wooden board fell, and when her eyes readjusted to the darkness, she put the jug away, picked up a few steamed buns scattered on the ground, put them in the basket, and asked King Fujun, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat a little?" ”

King Fujun shook his head and poured himself a bowl of water, "Why didn't you just ask them where they were taking us?" ”

"Does it make a difference where you go?" Lin Jin found a place to sit down and said, "This kind of thing, even if I ask him, he won't reveal it to me." Judging from the appearance of the man, they are all old in doing this, so what to say and what not to say is very clear. So, instead of expecting them to pull some useful news out of their mouths, let's count on our families. ”

……

Since Jia Min's death, the Lin family has all eaten together. Before dinner that day, Lin Ruhai didn't have much official business, so he came to the main room early to talk to Yang Wan about housework. Aunt Lin took Brother Lin to sit aside, interjecting from time to time, they were waiting for Lin Jin to come back and have dinner together.

Just when she saw dinner time, Lin Jin hadn't come back yet, just when Yang Wan was thinking about whether to send someone to ask, whether Lin Jin would come back for dinner or not, if they had an appointment outside, they wouldn't have to wait for her, a mother-in-law suddenly broke in, knelt down when she entered the door, and said in a panic: "Master, wife, it's terrible, Uncle is lost!" ”

In a word, the bluffed Yang Wan almost fainted, Lin Ruhai's face turned pale, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and asked, "What the hell is going on, say it quickly!" ”

The mother-in-law, who was Mrs. Jiang in Lin Jin's room, knelt on the ground and cried: "Uncle today has an appointment with the son of the prefect's family, so he went out early in the morning." After that, before lunch, the uncle said to go home for dinner. Before returning home, he took a detour to buy pastries in Zhuangyuan Building, and then said that he had met an acquaintance.

Uncle entered the acquaintance's box, and we originally wanted to follow in to serve, but the people around the man he knew stopped us and didn't let us in, so we waited outside. Who knows, I don't know how, the uncle is gone. ”

Lin Ruhai asked in a deep voice, "When did you find out that Brother Sumire was missing?" ”

Mrs. Jiang replied, "It's the end of the day." ”

When Lin Jin was young, because of her life experience and identity, Yang Wan's affection for her was relatively light, but as Lin Jin grew up and helped Yang Wan a lot, the relationship between the two gradually improved, and later, Yang Wan unconsciously began to rely on Lin Jin.

Hearing this, Yang Wan casually picked up an item at hand and smashed it over, scolding: "Are you all dead? I lost someone from time to time, and it was time for the unitary time to report back? You bastards, it's not an exaggeration to die. ”

Because a while ago, Lin Ruhai punished Mama Tao and others for following Lin Jin to Gusu, they were beaten and they hadn't been raised yet, so when Lin Jin went out recently, the people who followed him were not the people he was used to. Mrs. Jiang was able to come out, she was so beautiful at that time that she even had the idea of replacing Mama Tao. But at this time, she no longer felt that it was a good thing to serve by Lin Jin's side.

Mrs. Jiang cried: "The uncle is gone, and the slaves and maids are all panicked, so they hurriedly inquire around. At that time, I didn't think about the uncle's loss, and I thought that the uncle was funny with us, or when he was leaving with that acquaintance, he forgot to tell us, but he didn't expect to see a shadow now......" She didn't dare to fan her face at all, "It's all the slave's fault, the slave should die!" Slaves and maids should be damned! ”
