Lin Mei started a fever on the afternoon of the second day after returning to Baishui Town, and her whole body was hot, as if she was on fire, Mama Wu finally woke her up and poured a bowl of water, but saw that her eyes were blurry, and said to Mama Wu for a while: "Mom, I hurt, I don't want to die." After a while, he shouted with red eyes: "Kill, kill, kill,...... All night of gibberish.

This frightened everyone in the family, and the three little ones were detained by Mama Wu in their respective rooms and were not allowed to come out, but Lin Mei's shouts from time to time still frightened Xu Dang's family.

Mama Wu is still experienced, so she quickly asked Xu Rongsheng to find a doctor to treat her symptoms.

The doctor said that he was suffering from a cold and was frightened, so he prescribed medicine, and asked people to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine and leave.

The medicine was poured down, and people stopped shouting, but the high fever did not subside, and Mama Wu found a burning knife from somewhere, and wiped her whole body several times, so she tossed for a night, and when it was close to dawn, Lin Mei's fever gradually subsided.

Lin Mei felt that she had a long, long dream, dreaming that she had a heart attack and that she was in pain, but her mother was standing aside, but she refused to give her medicine for a long time, and endured her own bitter begging, but her mother was indifferent; After a while, I dreamed that I had arrived in a strange place, and the corpses everywhere got up from the ground and walked towards me, the frightened Lin Mei kept running, and the magic arrow flew from nowhere in the dream, and fixed the group of corpses, when Lin Mei turned back again, she happened to be holding a bow in her hand, and a voice kept circling in her brain: Kill them...... Kill them......

"Miss, wake up, it's time to get up and drink medicine?" Xu Dangjia saw that she showed signs of waking up, so he woke her up directly.

Lin Mei half-opened her eyes, looking at the unfamiliar environment, and the strange person feeding the medicine, it took a long time to come back to her senses.

"How long did I sleep? How is everything at home? The hoarse voice made Lin Mei feel a hot pain in her throat.

Xu Dangjia half-picked her up and leaned on the pillow, and said: "You have been lying for two days and one night, don't worry, everything is fine at home, Tong Fugui and they heard that all the Tartars were killed, and they are all back, so they are waiting for your arrangement." ”

Lin Mei frowned and asked, "Is my father back?" Who told them that the Tartars were all killed? You can tell me all the news. ”

Xu Dangjia wanted her to have a good rest, but no one at home was in charge of the overall situation, so he reluctantly told the story.

"The master hasn't come back yet, and in the past two days, the eldest young master has also taken everyone around to look around, but there is no news. On the day that Ding Zhutou transported the corpses of some Tartars back to the Yamen, the county magistrate announced in public that all the Tartars who attacked Baishui Town had been hanged, so that the big guy could live with peace of mind. So when Tong Fugui and his party heard the news, they all ran back, and the eldest young master settled them all in the front yard. There is also the Luo family......"

Seeing her hesitation, Lin Mei asked, "What happened to the Luo family?" ”

"The Luo family in Xifu has basically been killed, and no one has been left alive in the second and third rooms, and the whereabouts of the eldest young master of the Luo family are still unknown, so some people in the town rumored that the Tartar this time was attracted by the eldest young master of the Luo family."

"What about Luo Sicheng's family?" Lin Mei asked nervously.

"Young Master Sicheng accompanied his mother, sister-in-law and nephew to Lingyun Temple to burn incense on the first day of the New Year, and escaped the catastrophe, but his father and several brothers were killed, and now during the national funeral, the funeral is simple, so when we know the news, the funeral has been completed, but the eldest young master personally went to Luo's house to visit Young Master Sicheng yesterday." Xu Dangjia hurriedly replied.

This is already a blessing in misfortune, Lin Mei gasped.

"Has the ancient shopkeeper come back?" This is the only helper Lin Mei can think of.

"The shops on the street are still waiting, not daring to open the door, our house is the same, so there is no news of the ancient shopkeeper for the time being." Xu Dangjia sighed, and then said: "Now there are no vegetable farmers selling vegetables on the street, so Wang Lin and the others had to move back all the edible food in the restaurant. ”

I don't know if Ding Zhutou asked something in that living mouth, Lin Mei thought of this, and was in a hurry to get out of bed, just standing up and feeling dizzy, weakness in his limbs, and blackness in front of his eyes.

Xu Dangjia was frightened and hurriedly helped her lie down, "What is the eldest lady going to do, you tell me, you just woke up, you haven't eaten for the past two days, and your body is weak." ”

Lin Mei felt much better lying down, and she also knew that she had just been seriously ill, and something was in a hurry.

instructed: "Call Xu Rongsheng here, I have something for him to do." ”

Xu Dangjia hurriedly responded and lowered the bed curtain from the copper hook.

Xu Rongsheng heard his daughter-in-law say that the eldest young sister had something to order, and he didn't care about red tape and etiquette, so he went directly into the eldest lady's boudoir.

Through the apricot-colored translucent bed curtain, I vaguely saw the eldest lady lying on the bed, admiring the eldest lady's decisive courage that night, and regretting that it was the girl's family after all, and it was inevitable to be afraid.

"If the eldest lady has any orders, just explain." Xu Rongsheng said.

Lin Mei lay on the bed and sorted out her thoughts, and said solemnly: "The person who escaped doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, if he lets the tiger return to the mountain, the Lin family may be in a catastrophe." You've got everything I'm going to say in mind. ”

"First, let the eldest young master stop looking for people immediately, and let Tong Fugui and Wang Lin go out to find out the news of the Xiao family and the Ning family in the town; Second, you go to Qiu Ninghai to pay a hundred taels of silver, and immediately send it to Ding Zhutou, although he promised me before that he would not reveal the matter of our Lin family's killing of Tartars that night, but I am always unsteady in my heart, you can find out if there is any useful information to be said by the way; Thirdly, from today onwards, except for inquiring about news, the family is not allowed to move around at will without my consent, and the house is not allowed to light the lamp after dark; Fourth, let Mama Wu and your daughter-in-law arrange manpower to prepare a little more dry food reserves, just in case; Fifth, let Qiu Ninghai prepare a little bit of silver to send to everyone, if there is really an emergency, let everyone flee with their families. ”

Xu Rongsheng's heart was beating when he heard this, he thought that the events of that night would pass like this, but he didn't expect that there would be so much trouble when he ran a Tartar, he knew that he would follow and catch up, and he immediately hated himself for being useless.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Lin Mei urged, "Do you remember everything?" Go ahead and arrange it. ”

In the past two days, Shanzi was detained at home by his eldest sister, and he couldn't figure it out, so he simply made a scarecrow in the courtyard as a target and used it to vent his anger.

Lin Mei lay down for two days, and finally recovered her spirits, seeing Shanzi sullenly practicing archery in the courtyard, knowing that he was worried about Daddy Lin in his heart, he comforted: "Shanzi has no confidence in his father?" ”

Shanzi turned around and saw that the eldest sister was standing behind him, and asked, "Why didn't the eldest sister let me go out to find out the news?" ”

Lin Mei looked at Shanzi, only to realize that Shanzi's facial features were very similar to Father Lin except for his eyes, sighed, and said categorically: "I must not let the Lin family be destroyed!" ”

Shanzi looked at the eldest sister's big eyes, but at the moment, they were so deep and melancholy, and suddenly hugged the eldest sister like a fish in her throat, leaving tears.

Lin Mei was stunned for a moment at this sudden hug, stroked the head of the mountain and whispered, "Are you afraid?" After speaking, as if comforting himself, he said, "Don't be afraid, my mother will bless our family in heaven." ”
