After a long time, the courtyard door was opened. It was Lin Laosan who yawned and looked sleepy when he opened the door.

"Who's on this big night? Let no one sleep! Lin Laosan was wearing a loose coat and scolding while wearing shoes.

"Daddy? Auntie? You..... How did you get to town? Looking at the vicissitudes of life outside the door, Lin Laosan stammered a little when he touched his head, and he woke up half of a slump from sleep.

The second elder just stared at San'er biting his lip bitterly, and hot tears flowed into their mouths like crystal clear thin threads.

"San'er, you're in trouble! Your big brother is gone! Your nephew is gone! After saying that, Lin Yuan and his mother cried and fell into San'er's arms, and when she saw this brightly dressed son with a ruddy face, she felt like a world away.

Lin Yuan's father also squatted by the door and whimpered and wiped his tears, and the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man made the old man in charge bend down.

"Who! Noisy! Is there a lack of virtue? What came out after him was the scolding Lin Yang. Ever since her husband took in the vixen, he has been in her room every day. The two sons were still young and unmotivated, so she held her breath.

Earlier, she had heard that it was someone from the old house who was coming, and she had to pull her throat to swing the score of the hostess.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, what's wrong? Come inside! The daughter-in-law went and asked the little prostitute who was dead to bring tea to the second elder and wash his feet! "In the name of her in-laws, she will be able to practice the vixen well, see if she doesn't pick her skin today!

After speaking, he uncharacteristically made a filial daughter-in-law, and was about to go to the house with the second elder. I don't look at the poor relatives in tattered clothes behind me, and I just care about scolding chickens and dogs in the yard.

Lin Laosan stretched out his arm and blocked the door obliquely, looking at his younger brother in embarrassment, "Sixth, there are too many people, and my brother can't live in the house." Why don't you go to the inn for the night? Ming'er's brother will come to settle you. ”

Lin Yuan knew that the third brother didn't like him, his brother had a good brain and handled things tactfully, so naturally he wouldn't let him bring so many people to fight the autumn breeze. was not verbose at the moment, but quickly dodged into the courtyard and kowtowed three times to his father.

"Father, mother, my son can't protect himself now. I'm afraid that the second elder with me will starve, and he won't even have a place to live. The son is not filial, and he will pick up the second elder when he is settled! "The third brother, like him, is extremely filial to his father and mother, and he doesn't have to be afraid of the second elder being treated harshly by the third sister-in-law. The pain of losing a child and sleeping in the open overnight, my father and mother couldn't hold it anymore.

"This is a tael of silver, you can take it to the hotel to eat." I'm afraid that if I do too much, I will fall into my mouth. Lin Laosan's eyes rolled, and he desperately stuffed silver into his younger brother's hand. Lin Yuan turned a blind eye and went out without looking back.

His parents stood in the courtyard with tears streaming down their faces, looking at this strong child, their eyes full of reluctance and distress. How did you get to this point?

"Don't worry about my father, I won't starve and freeze with my sixth child's ability." Lin Laosan wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and then helped the second elder to the hall with his wife and sat down to comfort him softly.

He was very satisfied with the sixth child's acquaintance. Since he was a child, the good things in the family have been close to him, and when he is older, he has to stick it himself, which is so beautiful!

"A-Yuan, Wanwan, let me and the child get off at the intersection in front of you." Wen Fusheng was unrestrained, his face was full of decadence, and the upright and handsome peasant man had a scruffy beard and a waist in just one day.

"Big brother, I know you're afraid of dragging me and Wanniang down. You don't think about yourself, but also think about your children, and now you have to find a doctor! He paused.

"I have a friend in Qingzhou City, let's go find him." Lin Yuan thought of Hong Chuan.

Wen Fusheng opened his mouth, but he lowered his head with red eyes and did not speak. Let's wait until we find a place to stay!

The donkey cart shuttled through Qingzhou City, but with a cup of tea, Lin Yuan stopped in front of a courtyard. He stood outside the courtyard and knocked on the door, and it didn't take long for the door to open.

Hong Chuan, who was dressed in a white shirt, poked out his head and swept his eyes, and immediately opened the courtyard door with a grin, laughing loudly, and greeted everyone in the courtyard with enthusiasm.

"Jane! Jane Niang, hurry up and pour the tea! Lin Yuan is here! He snatched the rough saddle rope from Lin Yuan's hand and shouted happily into the room.

In an instant, candles lit up in the house, the door of the hall was wide open, and the dim candle flame illuminated the dark courtyard. Out of the door came a handsome woman in a plain shirt and a double snail bun, and greeted everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down for a moment. I'm going to prepare some food and drinks to keep you warm. As soon as the words of the yellow warbler out of the valley fell, the woman turned and went to the kitchen with a smile.

When the meal was served, Wen Wan had no appetite. Although he hadn't eaten for a day, his body seemed to be out of work, and his whole body was weak, and he could only cry and tremble incessantly. The children are even more stupid, bowing their heads silently, and the whole dinner table is eerily quiet.

Hong Chuan looked at them with red eyes and lowered their heads, and touched his head helplessly, "...... is this?" What's wrong? ”

Lin Yuan wiped his tears, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, put down his chopsticks with a "snap", and said in a dumb voice, "It's a disaster, everyone in the town and nearby villages has been killed, we are lucky to have escaped so few." ”

Hong Chuan slammed the table into a shocking bang: "Those brutes raised by sons of bitch! Even the old, weak, women and children are not spared! ”

Lin Yuan stood up and stared at Hong Chuan tightly, "Who?" ”

Hong Fan hurriedly held him down, sighed and explained, "Alas, don't get excited! Qingzhou Yamen also received the news only today, and there was some movement on the other side of Warat. At first, they were only wreaking havoc along the coast, but recently many places have reported that they have been hit by seedlings, and our Qingzhou City is not peaceful. ”

I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be a war.

Lin Yuan collapsed on the chair in a daze, his fists clenched tightly. Wen Fusheng's eyes were even redder, and his eyes were about to split.

Seeing them like this, Hong Chuan could only sigh again and pat Lin Yuan in a deep voice to comfort, "I finally escaped, you will deal with me for a night tonight, and then plan slowly." ”

As she spoke, Jane came over and said that the bed was made. However, there are only two rooms in the house, so I can only squeeze everyone first.

Wen Wan got up and blessed, followed Zhen Niang into the house to put the baggage, and touched the kitchen to boil hot water for everyone to scrub. I took a basin of hot water and went back to the house.

The hot towel was applied to Yuanbao's wilted little face to make him hum comfortably, and he looked at his mother, who had gentle eyebrows and eyes but no smiling face, and felt apprehension.

"Auntie, I want to go home." He wanted to go back to play with Brother Xing and the dogs, and wanted to show them the slingshot that his father had given him a few days ago.

In the past few days, he has been detained by his father's side, and he doesn't know if Chunsheng's aunt is getting better? Has Grandma Li's Luhua chicken ever hatched his chicks?

"Later, let's go back later" Wen Wan kissed his little head, and sniffed to wipe Da'er's tearful cat face.

"Mother, I heard you crying earlier. What happened to my grandfather's house? Why didn't my aunt come out to hug me? Ah Xian drooped his head, his eyes red and his voice was muffled.

"Did they go to the sky and see the stars? The brightest ones you see are them. With red eyes, she finally couldn't help but throw the towel back into the basin, hugged her son tightly and looked out the window with tears, and the lame explanation was like a sharp axe splitting her heart.

The child was still young, and she and Lin Yuan gritted their teeth to block the wind and rain, fearing that the disaster would leave the slightest trace of shadow in their hearts.

"Mother, don't coax me! My grandfather is gone, and my aunt is gone, isn't it? Ah Xian's voice choked, and he buried his head in his mother's neck and wept silently.

The eldest aunt loves him the most, new clothes, new shoes and socks, new food, all the food is sent to him, every time he goes to a foreign house, he always has to hug him and not let go, he doesn't go to look at the village and talk about her delicate nephew.

"My aunt often said that my nephew is very knowledgeable, and she is waiting for me to be admitted to the official every day to enjoy my blessings. Mother, my aunt broke her promise, didn't she? "She won't wait for him to be a big official!

Wen Wan was teary-eyed by him, and only sat on the edge of the bed, hugged him, and coaxed in a low voice, "No, she can't bear our family!" ”

Yuanbao, who was quietly leaning on Wen Wan's arm, suddenly cried, "A-Niang, will you also go to heaven?" ”

Wen Wan hugged her two sons and shook her head firmly, "No, A-Niang won't, and neither will your father!" Your father and mother will guard you, grow up with you, and watch you marry and have children. ”

The little man was relieved, and climbed on his mother's back with his hands and feet, and leaned on his mother's back and hugged her neck tightly, like a frightened little beast calling A-Niang in a low voice.

Usually when he had nightmares, his mother would run to his room, kiss him, carry him in circles, pat him on the back and sing him a ditty. When there are people, he is the second lang of the Lin family, and he is a man; When no one is around, he is still the one who relies on gentleness and asks her to coax and pat.
