In the dimly lit dungeon, the air smells of decay due to the long absence of sunlight. Lin Daimo was cut unconscious on the ground, and when he woke up, he was already lying on the damp grass in the dungeon, with a splitting headache.

The shackles on his feet were like roots, and he was bound tightly. An inexplicable fear struck him, and he realized that this time he was afraid that he was in danger.

This is the dungeon set up by the Lin family, and when Lin's father was alive, he specially brought him to the dungeon to see it, which was left by the ancestor to prevent accidents. It's just that in the past 100 years, it has only been used to hold some sundries. When Lin Daimo first saw this dungeon, he was noncommittal about the ancestor's approach, but he never thought that one day it would really come in handy, and it was Lin Daimo himself who made the dungeon work.

On the way back to the city, Lin Daimo didn't doubt Lin Daiyue's original intention, but after all, they were brothers for more than ten years, and Lin Daiyue's heart-wrenching words on the road made him dispel his doubts. Even when Mrs. Lin was sick in bed but still apologized to him guiltily, he even had the last trace of annoyance, but unfortunately, all this was his wishful thinking!

Lin Daimo closed his eyes in despair, he already understood in his heart that it was their mother and son who had colluded to bring him back to the Lin Mansion from Shita Village in the morning, but he didn't understand that since he had already come to the mansion, why did Mrs. Lin apologize to herself and deliberately make that scene for herself......

It's a pity that I am in a dungeon, and I am afraid that I will never have a chance to escape in my lifetime. He lay down without eating or drinking for two days until Fang Yuan came to this dungeon.

For Fang Yuan, Lin Daimo has always been treated like a brother, the two read and wrote together when they were young, and when they grew up, Fang Yuan always followed Lin Daimo around, in order to choose better raw materials, running around.

Lin Daimo tried his best to bring the bowl of water to his mouth, but finally stopped.

Even his former brother was cruel to him, and now Fang Yuan, who had been studying with him for more than ten years, suddenly appeared, this matter may not be as simple as a coincidence.

Seeing a trace of suspicion flashing in Lin Daimo's eyes, Fang Yuan looked sad as if he had been slapped in the face, with tears in his eyes, "Young Master, you have lost weight, if the old master knows what to do, I don't know what to feel distressed about, blame Fang Yuan, if Fang Yuan can always follow the young master, the young master will not suffer so much......

As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably. Lin Daimo's heart was extremely painful, I don't know if it was because of his father's departure, or because of Fang Cai's suspicion of Fang Yuan, he closed his eyes, put the water to his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chapped lips are a little painful when they encounter water, but this pain is not as good as one-thousandth of heartache.

There is no greater mourning than death. It is only today that Lin Daimo truly understands the meaning of this sentence.

"Fang Yuan, you, let's go, don't risk it for me." The hoarse voice slowly emanated from Lin Daimo's mouth, and the feeling of vicissitudes was trembling.

"No, I must not sit idly by, young master, no matter what, you must take care of your body first, I will have a way to save you out," Fang Yuan's resolute attitude made Lin Daimo's desperate heart finally feel a glimmer of hope.

But how could Mrs. Lin let the person she was planning to catch easily escape from under her nose, and couldn't help but shake her head again and again, "Don't put yourself in danger because of me, if you are mother, no, Mrs. Lin knows, I'm afraid even you will not be able to protect yourself......"

Fang Yuan was silent when he heard this, but the firmness in his eyes did not change at all, so he pushed the food box to Lin Daimo's hand again, "Young Master, you can eat quickly, the time is not short, it should be suspicious to stay and guard any longer." After that, he picked up the food box left in the morning, and glanced at Lin Daimo carefully, before finally striding out.

The footsteps faded away, and only a clatter was heard, and the door to the dungeon was locked again. Everything around him returned to silence, Lin Daimo opened the food box in his hand, there was still only one steamed bun and a plate of side dishes in it, but the dishes were obviously much better than the previous two days. After hesitating for a moment, he finally picked up the chopsticks tremblingly and brought the dish to his mouth.

Most of the leftover steamed buns, Lin Daimo put them directly next to the food box, still lying down, the place where he was shackled by iron was ground to some bleeding, and he felt as if his ankles were about to break off when he moved slightly.

After a while, the sound of rats running was heard. A mouse found the steamed bun next to the food box and hurriedly "squeaked" a few times to call his companion over. Although these animals in the darkness have always been disliked by humans, sometimes they are much kinder than humans.

Although Lin Daimo was terrified in his heart, he still tilted his head motionlessly and watched the two little elves jumping up and down around the steamed buns, their small but godly eyes shining faintly in the darkness, and after a while, he finally lifted the steamed buns back into his hole.

Seeing this, Lin Daimo suddenly thought of the woman who couldn't help screaming when she saw the mouse, but finally forced the mouse with a broom and had no way out. It was precisely because of that mouse that he was called a big turtle, Lin Daimo remembered that he was lying in the vegetable pot with his feet facing the sky, and couldn't help laughing.

"Lu Mengjian, thank you for taking care of me, it's a pity that you can't hear it, it's actually quite interesting to live with you," Lin Daimo muttered to himself, remembering the scene when he hid behind the door and watched her water and fertilize the flower seedlings, and the two of them were arguing as they talked, and a trace of warmth gradually grew in his heart, "I'm sorry, no one will make you angry from now on......"

He closed his eyes and waited for the moment of poisoning.

Seeing that Mr. Jiaoshu did not show up for three consecutive days, the schoolchildren gathered together every day to play, and even a few boldly started the idea of stealing chickens and touching dogs, stealing a chicken and burning it in the school to eat, but they were found chasing and beating everywhere, which made the whole Shita Village restless.

The village chief finally couldn't help it and ran to Lin's house, only to find that Lu Mengjian had cleaned up his face and was about to go out, but after looking around, he found that there was no shadow of Lin Daimo at all.

"Mrs. Lin, where are you going this morning?" The village chief coughed deliberately, startling Lu Mengjian, who was locking the door.

"Ouch, the village chief is here, it's scary for you to be silent behind people. I made an appointment with Aunt Li yesterday to go into the city today to buy some things, you seem to have been in the house for so long, and the things at home are not yet complete, and now the guests have no tea to entertain. Lu Mengjian remembered the previous unpleasantness, but still squeezed out a smile.

"Hehe, Mrs. Lin has plenty of money in her hands, and she still has spare money to buy these things." The village chief's words were thorny, but Lu Mengjian ignored them, locked the door and walked down the steps.

"The village chief looked at what you said, how can we have any spare money in our hands, but we can only scrape together a little bit of it, and our days are very tight!" Lin Niangzi's tone was not hurried, but it made the village chief who was interested in finding fault a little speechless.

"But no, don't all the families in our village live their lives tightly, Mrs. Lin, I actually came this time to ask Mr. why he hasn't gone to class for a few days, is his health not good again?" The village chief originally planned to question him, but when the words came to his mouth, he eased up slightly.

"Oh, that's because of this. I'm really sorry, a few days ago, the children in the school sent a letter, Mr.'s family came to pick up Mr. away, I haven't seen him for a long time, and the family still refuses to let him come back, and it is estimated that he should come back in two days. ”

"Oh? Why didn't Mr. Lin take Mrs. Lin back when he went home, aren't the two of you already married? When the village chief heard this, he was full of doubts.

"Well, this ......" Lu Mengjian couldn't wait to slap himself twice, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "My husband has something important to do when he goes home, and I can't help a woman, and it will cause chaos if I go, so my husband will leave me at home to take care of it, and he will naturally come back when he is done." ”

"In this case, I don't force it, alas, it's just that these children in the village always fish for three days and dry their nets for two days, and they have to play wild with one heart!" Although the village chief didn't want to lose Mr. Lin because of this, he was slightly disappointed that Mr. Lin often took leave, and he couldn't wait to find a teacher again.

Seeing the village chief walk out of the gate, Lu Mengjian breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he had just said those few words without confessing to himself, which attracted the village chief's questioning, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times.

I thought that I knew how to have scruples when I spoke before, but I didn't expect that after coming to this ancient mountain village, I would speak so thoughtlessly, although the people in the village were simple and simple, but Lu Mengjian's change really made me feel incredible. Cautious in words and deeds, Lu Mengjian silently recited these three prudent proverbs in his heart for a long time before raising his feet and walking out of the door.

Aunt Li was already guarding the door.

"Mengjian, I just saw the village chief coming, what is he doing this morning?"

"It's not because of the school, Mr. hasn't come back yet, and the school hasn't started for three days." Lu Mengjian reluctantly closed the door, the wooden door was too old, and a piece had peeled off, so he had to close it without a door lock.

"Mr. Lin has been gone for a few days, and if he doesn't come back, why don't you even bring back a letter, will it be ......" Aunt Li thought about it for a while, and hurriedly snorted a few times, "I'm talking nonsense, let's talk about such a good person as Mr." However, why don't you go directly to the Lin family to find Mr. Mengjian? ”

was kicked out of the house as soon as she got married, not to mention that she was still in a coma at the time, even if Lu Mengjian wanted to find it, she was powerless. What's more, Lu Mengjian didn't plan to get Lin Daimo back at all, so he had to smile, "Of course I also believe sir, maybe in two days, Mr. will come back." ”

Without waiting for Aunt Li to speak, Lu Mengjian hurriedly grabbed Aunt Li's arm, "It's not early, we should also enter the city, otherwise the sun will rise in a while, and it will be too hot to walk after a few steps." ”

Walking all the way to the city gate for two days, Lu Mengjian's legs were already sore, and he pulled Aunt Li to take a nap on the side, only to listen to a few hawkers around him chatting enthusiastically, and the word Lin family popped up from time to time, Lu Mengjian was curious, and couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
