Luoyang, Sweet Water Lane Lin Family.

When the brothers reunited, they naturally had to drink a few more glasses and talk about the past, when Daddy Lin asked about his eldest brother Lin Zhong, Lin Quan sighed deeply and drank one cup after another.

Father Lin sensed that something was wrong, turned his head and asked Lin Qing: "Eldest nephew, what about your father?" ”

Lin Qing was drinking a little wine, holding a chicken leg in his hand, he was gnawing Huan, and when he smelled it, his color changed, he really swallowed the meat in his mouth, dropped the chicken bones, and pretended to cry: "Second uncle, my father died, he was killed by the rebels." ”

Daddy Lin is suspicious, it stands to reason that the eldest brother has been living in the countryside and will not have anything to do with the rebels, so how could he be killed? Turning his head to look at the fourth brother Lin Quan, hoping that he could explain this.

Referring to the death of the eldest brother, Lin Quan nodded sadly, "This is a long story, not long after you left, the garrison in the town went to surround our village, saying that the village harbored bandits, and ordered that only entry and exit were allowed, but in fact, it seemed that they were looking for something." Everyone in the village was panicked, but unfortunately Guo'er was arrested by the officer leader of the dog day, Brother Song's child, you also know that you have a temper, don't you also discuss with your family, and break into the barracks alone to save Guo'er, you think, Brother Song, a bare-handed child, is the opponent of those who play with knives all year round, but he didn't expect to lose his life because of this. When the child saw that Brother Song had lost his life for himself, he felt ashamed of Brother Song, so he killed himself on the spot. Two children died at once, and the eldest brother reasoned with them in a fit of rage, but was beaten to death by the beasts......"

Father Lin's body flickered, he didn't expect the eldest brother's family to encounter such a tragic encounter, and he couldn't stop for a moment in his mind, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Everyone present, even Peach and Xi'er, who were at the table, were shocked, but they didn't expect Brother Song and Guo'er to die so miserably.

Lin Zhang covered his face and sobbed quietly.

As a wife, a mother, and the death of three of the dearest people at the same time, the blow can be imagined.

Lin Qing originally wanted to make this matter aggrieved and miserable, so that the second uncle could pity him more, but he didn't expect this careful thinking to be taken by others.

"Dad, you died so miserably......"

Round crying, round miserable, Lin Qing was fully prepared, and crawled directly from the wine table to Father Lin's lap, wailing: "Second uncle, it's all because the little nephew is incompetent, he couldn't save my father and Brother Song, you beat me, scold me......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother Qing, don't blame yourself, you weren't at home at the time, and you can't be blamed for this." ”

Father Lin was surprised, not that he had surrounded the village, he only had to enter and not leave, where could he go. Doubts are in my mind, and I haven't asked yet.

"......" Lin Qing was embarrassed for a second, for fear that he would have to ask questions, and then cried in a weak heart: "Second uncle, have you seen my legs?" It's broken, those officers and soldiers are simply not human, worse than bandits, don't let me collect my father's body, not to mention, and break my legs......"

At this time, Daddy Lin noticed that there was nothing in his right pants on his leg.

Lin Feng listened to him take things out of context, looked at him a few more times, drank a glass of stuffy wine, and said, "Second uncle, there is one more thing, I have to compensate you first." ”

At this moment, Father Lin was still immersed in grief, what else could be more important than a person's life, and waved his hand and said, "Brother Feng, you can say it." ”

"When you left, you handed over the town's mansion and the old mansion to me to take care of, but then too many things happened and I urgently needed silver, so I took the initiative to sell those houses cheaply, and sold them for a total of three hundred and seventy taels of silver. Among them, it didn't cost a lot to ransom Brother Qing, and later spent some more on the funeral for Uncle and Brother Songguo'er's sister, and there was not much silver left. ”

In fact, the situation was grim at that time, who was willing to pay money to buy these dead things, and in the end, it was Boss Jia who came forward to solve his urgent need.

"It is the big thing that people live, and those things outside the body are gone when they are gone." Daddy Lin has never taken these external things to heart, not to mention that the current conditions are even more worrying about food and clothing, and there is still income every day. Compared with the sins suffered by the big house, it will be spent if it is spent, as long as it can be saved.

But this time and again, Lin Qing's bitter drama couldn't go on, and it didn't look like it again.

The weather was hot and sultry, and Lin Qing's actions, in addition to the sweat on his forehead, the clothes on his back were also soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.

Lin Feng hurriedly helped him out. "Brother Qing, get up, let's talk, let's let it pass."

There are some things that Lin Feng really doesn't want to expose, and there is no point in them.

Liu sat at the other table, but he kept paying attention to the main table, seeing the incompetent husband, and he didn't get things done, in addition to contempt, he was anxious like a cat scratching, if the second uncle knew the truth in the future, what if he misunderstood.

No one paid attention to it, don't let Xi'er see it, looking at everyone's family of five, the fox asked: "Auntie, why didn't the second sister-in-law and Niuniu come with you?" ”

A stone startled the waves, and Father Lin noticed that Brother Song's daughter-in-law was not there.

Since it is a big house and four rooms, there is no reason to leave a widow and children, not to mention that Niuniu is also the blood of the Lin family.

Lin Zhang's sobbed silently, opened his mouth, and cried bitterly, when Guo'er was arrested, he fell ill, and the whole person was confused, even when the eldest son ran away with his wife and children, how could he take care of Dou and Niuniu, and now he can't tell what happened to Dou and Niuniu at that time, in short, the person is gone, and disappeared out of thin air.

But who would believe such a ridiculous thing!

Disappearing into thin air a big living person, the Liu family also felt ridiculous, if it wasn't for the ...... to escape for his life, this matter would have to give the big guy a reasonable explanation, "Second uncle, you don't know, the family was too chaotic at that time." The mother-in-law was sick again, and the father and Brother Song had this incident again, and they didn't take care of the Dou family and Niuniu, and later heard from the people in the village that someone seemed to see their mother and daughter going in the direction of their parents' house...... Later, in order to save Brother Qing, I didn't care about ......"

Lin Zhang was stunned, "Liu, why don't I know about this?" ”

"Mother-in-law didn't ask, I thought you knew......" Liu's heart was weak, and he lied that Dou's family went back to her parents' house, which was better than saying that she disappeared out of thin air, and complained that her mother-in-law couldn't carry it clearly, and she couldn't take a good look at people at that time.

……

Returning to the comfortable carriage, Lin Mei compared it with Uncle Yang's version of the extravagant luxury version, feeling that she was simply too simple. simply lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Nighthawk will go to the cloth pile first, and then go to the pastry shop." ”

The carriage hadn't gotten up yet, and Nighthawk, the temporary coachman, was stunned, this was singing that out, wasn't he in a hurry to leave?

"Miss, but you want to buy clothes?" Sixi asked in a low voice: "Don't worry, Miss, your packages are in the carriage, if you want to change into men's clothes, I will block it for you, and no one will know." ”

Lin Mei shook her head with a smile and leaned on the carriage behind her: "No, it's not bad to wear a skirt and dress up as a lady occasionally, but I want to buy something to decorate the carriage, it's best if you can help me make a few pillows, and the journey can be more comfortable." ”

I don't know what the pillow is, but I don't know what a pillow is, but it should be the same as a pillow, but I didn't ask much, anyway, she is the master, she can do whatever she wants.
