Chapter 20 The tree wants to be quiet, and the wind does not stop
"If you say that we have heard a lot of strange things in Pulan City, and there is a legend among the older generation in the village, it is said that five hundred years ago, Fuxian Bodhisattva saw a small town near the sea where the villains were rampant, and he decided to go down to Pudu sentient beings, and incarnated as a woman to sell herself on the street to bury her father, but this woman was handsome, and soon was favored by a flower boy, so she wanted to snatch it home and accept it as a close attendant, who expected that the woman was poor Zhijian, took out a volume of scriptures, and said that if someone can memorize it within three days, he will promise to him."
I didn't expect that Hua Dashao was confused, and after three days, he not only memorized the scriptures, but even memorized them backwards. It's just that after this incident, Hua Dashao seemed to have changed as a person, and since then he has been rampant in the township, and even took the initiative to help the poor, and moved to educate the wicked, and the atmosphere of the town has become more and more simple. Eventually, Hua Dashao became a Buddha, and later people named the town Pulan City in order to commemorate him. ”
After a few glasses of wine, Li Dazhuang became very talkative, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked endlessly, Lu Mengjian listened to the novelty, and concentrated on listening seriously, but Lin Daimo frowned as if he had something on his mind.
"Zhong'er and his father have been in the city many times, so he likes to listen to some gossip stories, and every time he comes back, he says it as news, not a few days ago, after he came back, he was still there to say that those big families in the city are in the blessing and do not know the blessings, and they have to talk crazy to make a fuss, and even the old foundation left by the ancestors was almost smashed, fortunately, they are just some stones, and they can't be broken, otherwise I don't know how many good things will be destroyed," Aunt Li glanced at her man with disgust after speaking, Li Dazhuang laughed tolerantly instead of anger,
"Aunt Li, what did you just say, stone?" Lin Daimo didn't take it to heart originally, but after Aunt Li mentioned it, he was a little worried about the stone in the city.
"Well, the ancestors of the family handed down a stone record, specializing in all kinds of strange stones, it is said that it has a history of nearly 100 years, but it is a pity that Boss Lin has just passed away, the eldest son in the family is not filial, and he said goodbye that day, leaving the old mother and the young son to take care of the business in the store, and then someone in the family was greedy for the business in the store, so he took out a will, and forced the family to separate, who knew that Mrs. Lin did not follow, so she sent someone to the store to make trouble, and smashed everything that could be smashed." After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, he saw that Lin Daimo's face was pale, thinking that the poison had attacked, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly helped him back to the bed.
It wasn't until they were sure that there was no big problem, that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Li couple left, Lu Mengjian cleaned up the mess and brought a basin of water to soak Lin Daimo's feet, but saw him staring at him tightly.
"What else are you hiding from me?" The headless sentence made Lu Mengjian a little confused.
"You've drunk too much, wash up and go to sleep."
"You can draw and write, and you can teach Zhong'er to read, and where do the stories you tell come from?" Lu Mengjian had no intention of responding, but Lin Daimo did not relent.
"I have followed Miss since I was a child, and I have invited a teacher for Miss at home, teaching all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have naturally learned a thing or two as a reading girl, do you still have any questions?"
"Hehe, it's just a girl with such talent, it seems that I really underestimated you before, let's say, what benefits did Mrs. Lin give you, you are so desperate to leave me in this small mountain village, even the Lin family has such a big change and kept me in the valley. Why! Why are you all hiding it from me, I have worked so hard for the Lin family to pay so much, but in the end I am just an adopted son who was expelled from the house, why! For the first time in so many days, Lin Daimo was hysterical, constantly beating his weak legs.
Seeing this, Lu Mengjian became more and more calm, brought the basin filled with hot water to the side of the bed, and pressed Lin Daimo's feet into the water, but Lin Daimo kicked him over, and the hot water splashed on Lu Mengjian's body, and it all dripped to the ground, winding like a thin snake on the ground.
"Heh, why, who do you think you are, you will become a man after a few words at me? You think the whole world owes you, okay, then you come and tell me what I owe you, I became close to you for some reason, and I was insulted by you in vain, yes, you saved my life, but it doesn't mean that I owe you a lifetime. ”
"Since you were poisoned, there have been rumors in the village that I poisoned you to kill you, so I endured it, since you saved my life, I have no reason to sit idly by. When the family ran out of food, I went to the fields to dig wild vegetables, and even pawned my belongings, haven't you ever thought about how your meager bundles can last for a month! Lu Mengjian stood in front of the bed with his arms crossed and looked at Lin Daimo coldly.
At this time, Lin Daimo suddenly quieted down, buried his face tightly in the quilt, and when he raised his head again, his face had returned to the same flat as before, and he looked at the hot footwash water on the ground, and said casually, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
Seeing Lin Daimo turn around, Lu Mengjian only felt a hot current gushing out of his eyes. The skirt was already soaked, the underwear was sticking to the legs, extremely uncomfortable, the basin was quietly closing on the floor, and the white heat was gradually dissipating as the water temperature dropped.
No matter how hard his study career was, Lu Mengjian never felt so desperate, after all, there is still hope for everything, graduation, work, marriage and children, and obey the rules of birth, old age, sickness and death like everyone does. But now trapped in this backward mountain village, there are people around him with a good temperament, and there is not even a head to run for life.
Lu Mengjian's desire to return to the past was stronger than ever at this moment.
Leaving the room in a mess, Lu Mengjian changed her clothes and sat at the door for a long time, thinking of various ways to travel back to the modern era, when suddenly a cool breeze woke her up, what if she couldn't go back to the past...... Lu Mengjian couldn't help but shudder, wrapped his clothes and returned to the room, the candle had been extinguished, and the room was pitch black.
Climbing onto the bed, Lu Mengjian deliberately distanced himself from the person next to the pillow, even if he just felt his breathing, he felt nauseous. When he fell asleep, he heard the man sigh softly, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait." Father, the Lin family is here, I'm afraid it's not what you want to see. ”
"You are not the Lin family, why bother with other people's hearts." Lu Mengjian threw a sentence against the wall, and there was no movement all night.
Early the next morning, when Lu Mengjian opened his eyes, Lin Daimo was already gone. The quilt was already cold, and Lin Daimo's clothes and pants were nowhere to be seen. It was still early, and it was more than an hour before the school started, and Lu Mengjian looked at the emptiness around him, as if everything was over, and the left and right were just a dream.
But the collection of poems next to the pillow pulled Lu Mengjian back to reality, and all kinds of signs indicated that Lin Daimo ran away from home.
Lu Mengjian should have been overjoyed, but his heart was inexplicably a little heavy. An hour passed, and Lin Daimo still did not appear.
"Master, let me ask Mr. why he hasn't gone to school until now, and he can't attend today's class?" A strange schoolboy suddenly lay at the door and asked with a smile, but Lu Mengjian was startled.
"Mr. is out today, you go back and tell your classmates to rest for a day." Although Lu Mengjian replied like this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't want Lin Daimo to return home, but he was faintly worried, his body was so weak, where could he go?
At noon, he suddenly heard a knock at the door, and Li Dazhuang and two men from the same village walked in with a person, his face covered with dirt, and he put it on the bed before he recognized it as Lin Daimo.
"Mrs. Lin, Uncle Seven will be here in a while, don't worry. What happened to the gentleman today, he was so weak that he had to go to the city alone, but fortunately I had something to do in the city today, and I saw the gentleman fainting on the ground in the middle of the road. Li Dazhuang walked all the way, already covered in sweat, and saw Lu Mengjian wipe Lin Daimo's face with a towel, and only turned around and walked out without seeing the slightest scar.
Lu Mengjian hurriedly went out to thank him, and the seventh uncle had already rushed over.
"What's wrong with Mr. Lin, I see that Da Zhuang's face has changed, this child is really full of disasters, after calling our Shita Village, the pain on his body has not been broken," Uncle Seven sighed, and squinted his eyes after carefully checking his pulse.
"It's not a big deal, just rest for a while, although the residual poison in his body is not clear, but it will not attack so quickly. Xu was in a hurry, coupled with excessive fatigue, so it led to shock, but it's okay. ”
On the side, Lu Mengjian had already prepared the consultation fee, and when he saw that the seventh uncle was about to leave after speaking, he hurriedly stuffed it into the seventh uncle's hand. Uncle Seven glanced at it, was not polite, stuffed it in his pocket and walked out, "This kid is also a blessed one, he can marry you, but he is honored." ”
Lu Mengjian sneered and said secretly, "If things are as simple as they seem, why should Lang be a doctor of medicine and a doctor's heart." ”
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Lu Mengjian still stewed the remaining chicken from last night very badly, added it to rice cereal, and fed it to Lin Daimo's mouth spoonful. Even if that person is usually arrogant and domineering, now he is like a cat in her arms, without the power to resist.
After eating rice cereal, Lu Mengjian wrung a towel to wipe Lin Daimo's face, but heard him choked in his throat, "Dad, the child is not good, he can't keep the stone record, and he can't protect the Lin family's ......."
In Pulan City, when everyone passed by the stone record that the Lin family had been operating for more than 100 years, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, the original classical and elegant door head has now been smashed to pieces, and even the door plaque with the word "stone record" has fallen to the ground and broken in half. And most of the things in the store became chaotic in the chores, so they had to close their doors.
Because of this, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she had a head stroke and was bedridden for several days. And the uncompetitive son Lin Daiyue was without the restraint of his mother, so he made an appointment with a group of fox friends and dog friends. In the Lin Mansion, the originally prosperous scene has been somewhat decadent because no one has taken care of it.
After the afternoon, Lin Daiyue was still buried in the gentle countryside that was as soft as jade and unwilling to extricate himself, but he heard the sound of the little guy knocking on the door outside the door, "Young master, wake up, someone has seen the eldest young master on the street today!" ”
Lin Daiyue suddenly startled, "What! Isn't he dead! ”
