Chapter 65: Old Things
Lin Jinrong said goodbye to Zhiping and Zhiqing in silence, put on the violet veil, and led a few mothers-in-law and Lychee and Longan, who were obviously in conflict, back to Zhuangzi.
When she entered the door, she saw Miao Ya, who had been sent by her to look for Lin Shiquan earlier, "sting" out of the shadows next to the door, and said while squeezing her eyes at her: "Girl, there is a guest." The young master of the Lu family took the little scholar to play in the mountains and rivers, but unexpectedly, the bridge decayed and collapsed and fell into the river. My brother went to catch the peach blossom fish and happened to meet them and saved them. At this time, Mrs. is talking to the young master cousin, so let you come back and go over. ”
Looking at Miao Ya's relaxed smile, Lin Jinrong knew that Lu Mu didn't tell the truth of the matter. But he didn't go to Tao immediately, but went back to the house by himself, staring at the plum tree outside the window that had withered and sprouted.
"If the girl doesn't want to go over, why don't you wash your feet and sleep, and I'll go and tell my wife that you're tired, and then go over for dinner?" Lychee didn't know what happened to Lin Jinrong outside today, but seeing her wet shoes covered with mud and gloomy expression, she could guess that it wouldn't be any better. Later, when I saw that she sent Miao Ya to find Lin Shiquan, I guessed a few more points - most of Lu Mi's master and servant falling into the water had something to do with her. Seeing this Lin Jinrong like this at this time, I subconsciously guessed that she didn't dare to go over.
"Hmm." Lin Jinrong really didn't want to go over to see Lu Mian's face at this time, she needed to calm down. In addition, after tossing for a long time, climbing high and low, it was indeed extremely tired, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep with my head next to the pillow.
The gloomy sky, the dry white ground, the withered yellow reeds, the river temple standing silently in the cold wind, and the people running and crying in all directions.
The dazzling snow was covered with blood, and it was blood-red.
Lychee is desperately shouting: "Run, run......"
She ran desperately, desperately to escape, her feet hurt so much, her chest seemed to be burning, burning her internal organs and throat were throbbing......
"Hiss......" Lin Jinrong sat up in pain and looked at his surroundings a little confused.
The sun shadow is slanting westward, the green outside the window is full of greenery, under the window there is a white rattan couch paved with stone blue half-old brocade mat with no head, the celadon carved flower scroll grass pattern incense burner in the corner is spitting out a hundred flowers, and the peach blossoms in the shrugging beauty vase on the old are brilliant, everything is telling her that she is in her own room.
She breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously hugged the quilt, staring at the plum blossom pattern on the quilt in a daze. She has been busy with the things in the Zhuangzi recently, and she rarely thinks about the past, but the dream just now is so real that there is not even the slightest deformation and distortion that is often seen in dreams.
She tried her best not to go back to that scene, but it always stubbornly came to her eyes.
The days of waiting for Lu Lu were the coldest days in her memory of the two worlds combined. Every day, there are always victims waiting for the boat, ignoring the prevention of the temple of the river temple, and dismantle the things in the temple that can make a fire and keep out the cold. He tore off the clothes and curtains worn by the statue and covered them, and removed the wooden doors, windows, and offering tables, and lit a fire in the main hall. Boiling soup and medicinal scones on the fire was filled with strange smells and the cries of children, the snorting of old people in high and low voices, and the angry scolding of men and the low complaints of women.
She and Lychee are lucky that they don't have to squeeze with those people. When they don't go out, they hide in the hidden utility room of the Jiangshen Temple, and Miao Zhu and his adopted daughter lock the door and pile up a few piles of hay, and the outside world is completely isolated from the two of them. Although there was no brazier for heating, and the bedding on the small bed was very thin, the master and servant were close together, but it was not cold, and there was no need to worry about who would disturb them.
It's just that she is always worried, seeing countless people dragging their families back and forth, she can't see a familiar face, so she can't inquire about the situation of her family and Lu Mian. It wasn't until that morning that their eyes were sour, and they finally saw a familiar face, which was a son of the Lu family's side branch named Lu Ji.
Although Lu Ji is a child of the side branch and his family is poor, he often went to the Lu family to walk around before, until Lu Lun died, and the Lu family was closed for a long time, so he didn't go. Although she and Lu Ji have not intersected, they have only met a few times, but at such a stormy moment and everyone is in danger, they are always a little happier and more cordial than usual when they see familiar faces and relatives.
She was pleasantly surprised to ask Lychee to invite Lu Ji over to ask.
When Lu Ji saw their master and servant, he was obviously taken aback: "How could the second sister-in-law be here?" ”
She asked him hopefully about the news of her family and Lu Mian, and Lu Ji told her very simply that she only knew that the Lin family had also suffered a disaster, but she had not seen the Lin family. When he talked about Lu Xuan, he looked at her and was silent, and he didn't sigh for a long time: "Second sister-in-law, the situation is very critical, the bandits are about to be killed, you better not wait, it's better to come with me first, and slowly join the second brother." Although I am not talented and have little ability, I can take care of you two weak women. ”
She has always been stupid and couldn't understand the meaning of the words, so she just shook her head: "No, I promised to wait for your second brother." What if he can't find me? "Second sister-in-law......" Lu Ji sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking, his face full of sympathy.
She subconsciously felt scared, her heart tightened, and she said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Ji sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, you just go first, avoid this disaster, and I'll help you find the second brother." Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. It's scary for the bandits to come. ”
The more he didn't say it, the more scared she became, thinking that Lu Mian had suffered an accident, and begged him bitterly to say it.
"I can't bear to talk to you...... But the second brother's approach is really not authentic, I saw with my own eyes, he took the third uncle and the third aunt to the other road in a donkey cart, and I am afraid that he has already crossed the river at this time. ”
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Shocked her mind for a moment, she didn't believe it, obviously he gave her most of the valuable jade pendants on his body, and entrusted Miao Zhu to take care of her, and asked Miao Zhu to help find the boat family, how could he just throw her away? Could it be that the money and jade pendant were left for her to live? Finding a boat is also a pretense? Did he actually want her to believe that he would come back?
After that, she only saw Lu Ji's lips keep moving, as if to comfort her, and as if to persuade her and Lychee to follow him quickly. Lychee pulled her to shake vigorously and shouted her name loudly, she reluctantly gathered her spirit, and asked Lu Ji with the last bit of hope: "You see, who else?" ”
Lu Ji smiled bitterly: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't dare to tell you earlier because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it." Look, I don't believe it. But why should I lie to you? Let me ask you, is my second brother wearing a robe of azure silver rats, black leather boots on his feet, and a cyan knot scarf on his head? Then he grabbed his companion casually: "Let me ask you, did we see Second Brother Lu accompanying the two old men to the south road in a donkey cart the day before yesterday?" ”
Although she didn't know his companion, the man's expression was very affirmative: "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes." They called him coming, and he pretended not to hear. ”
Lychee said in a trembling voice, "Could it be wrong?" ”
"Did you read it wrong?" Lu Ji sneered: "We are relatives, not enemies, what am I lying to you for?" Whether you want to follow us or not is your freedom. I'm looking at the fact that they are all clansmen, and you are two weak women who are willing to take care of this idle matter, otherwise I will eat too much, right? ”
His companion hurriedly stepped forward to play the round: "Why be angry? Mrs. Sister-in-law might as well think about it, the bandits are really coming soon, and it will be too late if you don't leave. You two single women, the lady is young and beautiful, if there is no one to protect you, I'm afraid it will not be very thorough, there is no boat here, we have horses, we can go to the county government in front of us to take a boat......"
She rejected them. She wanted to wait.
Lu Ji persuaded him twice, but he couldn't persuade him, so he walked away.
She leaned on Lychee's shoulder and couldn't cry. Lychee comforted her, saying that maybe she was wrong or Lu Ji lied to her. But how could she be wrong, she thought? She and Lu Ji are also innocent, she can't think of why Lu Ji lied to her, and what reason she had to lie to her.
She and Lychee waited until dusk, until the snow fell all over the ground, until there were fewer and fewer people, and finally they didn't wait for Lu Xuan. Those who are waiting are bandits, and those who are waiting are dead.
Call it a day! Lin Jinrong rubbed his forehead tiredly, turned over and got out of bed, forbidding himself to think further.
When Gui Yuan heard the movement, he walked in with a smile and said with a smile: "Girl, Mrs. has asked people to come over twice to ask, are you sleeping well?" ”
Lin Jinrong said sullenly: "What do you ask?" ”
Gui Yuan never stopped laughing: "Why don't you go over?" Is it uncomfortable, do you want to ask Mr. Shui to help the pulse? ”
"I'm fine." Lin Jinrong couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the unpalatable, numb, sour and bitter medicine that he asked Mr. Shui to prescribe earlier because of his menstrual irregularities. No wonder Master Lin San complained that the medicine was unpalatable, but it was really unpalatable. It's really hard for Dow to eat for so many years without frowning.
"The young master has a cold, and Mr. Shui has opened a prescription, and they are going to live in our village for two days. Mrs. asked the young master about Mr. Zhu, and when she heard that, it seemed that she wanted our seventh young master to study with Mr. Zhu. ”
This girl, even what Tao and Lu Lu said clearly, has been haunting Tao's yard 100% during the time she is asleep, patronizing to see Lu Xuan. Lin Jinrong frowned unhappily: "That will be a few years later." The Seventh Young Master is still so young, but he has just been enlightened, and Mr. Zhu will not accept it. ”
She had already thought about this when she heard the Tiehuai family mention Zhu Mengcao, but considering that Lin Shenzhi was too young, it was better to follow Old Lady Lin, and it was after the age of ten to apprentice, so she didn't mention it.
