Chapter 075: Is It Okay to Be My Lady (8)
He really wanted to get close to this lovely sister, and he didn't dare to act because he was afraid of scaring her, but he didn't expect his eyes to become like that just now, and after frightening her, she actually said that she liked him.
Xiao Sheng cautiously slowly walked out of the dim corner, and the emaciated figure was finally exposed in front of them.
"Xiaosheng...... Brother? Xiao Yingzi tilted her head and looked at him stunned.
It turns out that Brother Xiaosheng looks like this!
The sunlight sneaked into the room at some point, and scattered softly on Xiao Sheng's thin body, his slightly curly hair was messily draped over his shoulders, his skin was pale without seeing the light of day, his facial features were very delicate, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Da Lang, a pair of dark eyes looked at them uneasily, and his small paws full of stains were clenched into fists, for fear of seeing the disgusting and fearful eyes of others.
Lu Ziling saw that he could bravely walk out of that corner, his heart was extremely happy, picked up a rabbit on the ground and stuffed it to him, and said with a smile: "Walking out and facing it, it's not as terrible as you imagined." ”
Xiao Sheng carefully hugged the soft and well-behaved rabbit, glanced at her gratefully, and then looked at Xiao Yingzi, and saw that her wet eyes were looking at him curiously, and the corners of her mouth curved, revealing an innocent and happy smile.
came out, but it wasn't so scary, because of her.
"There are still a lot of rabbits in the yard, you can go out and play together, and I'll cook."
After speaking, Lu Ziling left the space for two little buns, hoping that with Xiaoyingzi's innocence, Xiaosheng could completely come out and live a normal child's life.
Xiao Sheng looked at her departing back, his eyes were moist, he moved his lips, and choked out a 'thank you'.
Xiao Sheng ate dinner in the kitchen and hid back in the room, Xiao Yingzi followed a rabbit like a little tail, Lu Ziling glanced at the crack in the door, and the two teased the rabbit and had a good time.
Xiao Sheng basically didn't speak, but there was a smile on his face, but it was like a light smile that only adults have, Lu Ziling was very sad to see, and she vowed to let Xiao Sheng get back the innocence and joy that children should have in the future.
When the Lin brothers came back, it was late, the moonlight shone faintly in the Lin family's courtyard, and Xiao Yingzi's happy voice came from Dalang's room for a while, and the Lin brothers showed surprised looks on their faces.
Xiaoyingzi is well-behaved and sensible, and often talks with Xiaosheng, but it is rare to have such a cheerful voice, it is difficult for Xiaosheng to speak.
Thinking of this, Da Lang hurriedly rushed into the room, only to see Xiao Sheng clumsily carrying Xiao Yingzi around the room, and there was a tired rabbit on the ground.
"Xiaosheng, you're finally better." Da Lang's eyes were red, and the man burst into tears.
Xiaosheng hasn't paid attention to anyone for more than three years, he talks to him every night, he ignores it, he doesn't care about it, he doesn't hide by the door with his head down, or he hides in the bed, he can't touch it, after more than three years, he is now playing with Xiaoyingzi on his back.
He had been waiting for this day and his son was finally healed.
After this day, Xiaosheng returned to the same as before, didn't go out, didn't speak, the good thing was that he would play with Xiaoyingzi, and occasionally reply to the little girl for a sentence or two, but he ignored a few adults as always, but finally got better.
The Lin family brothers were expelled from the Lin family, and the two acres of land in their hands were kept at the insistence of an uncle, Lin Erping was so angry that he was half dead, and Mrs. Lin didn't say anything for the first time, after all, the Lin family brothers gave her filial piety every month, although it was not as pleasing as Lin Dafu, but it was also the blood of the eldest son, and the blood of the Lin family flowed.
The next day, Shi Huai came and gave them 1,400 taels from selling tiger skins, Lin Erlang led Lin Sanlang to Zhang's house and gave money, and he barely settled the matter, but everyone knew that this matter was only temporary, the feud was over, and Zhang Fugui would definitely have revenge in the future.
Saburo walked better and better, and sometimes walked for an hour without discomfort, as if everything was going according to his wishes.
At this time, there was bad news from afar, I heard that the border between Donglin and Nancang was in an emergency, and Nancang had the tendency of a large army to press the border.
Right now, the Moon Heaven Continent is the power of the Three Kingdoms.
After the emperor carried out the imperial examination, most of the civil officials lived in the temple, and the few military attachés also lost their edge in a comfortable life.
Nancang is located in the northernmost place, the environment is harsh, and it lives by grazing and hunting, and the weak are hungry, and the soldiers are strong and strong.
Feiyun Kingdom is between sea and land, not as rich as the East Country, but it is also much stronger than the Nancang Kingdom, plus the new king is both civil and military, and the country has caught up with the East Country.
Nancang country experienced a plague a few months ago, most of the cattle and sheep died, many people died of hunger, the cold winter is coming, there is no food to eat, they are like hungry wolves with hunger and cold, Feiyun country is far away, the national strength is strong, their idea can only fight in the east of the country that has been comfortable for hundreds of years.
Nancang has sent envoys to borrow grain from Feiyun and Donglinguo, if they can borrow food for the winter, it is estimated that there will be no war, if they can't borrow food, war will be on the verge of breaking out, and their first bite is the fat of Donglinguo.
As soon as the superior gave the order, innocent people were forced to go to the front line, bury their bones for thousands of miles, and be separated from their relatives forever.
As soon as the news spread, the entire eastern border country was in turmoil, and the people were panicked, and everyone did not want to see the war, but they could only resign themselves to fate.
"Do you really want to fight?" Da Lang wrinkled his eyebrows and sighed.
Seeing that life was just getting better, this bad news came.
Lin Shilang stared at the book worriedly, and didn't read a word, I'm afraid that Nancang Kingdom won't be able to borrow food, at least not in Donglin Country.
Since the previous year, taxes have increased, which shows that the treasury has been empty, if there is a war, the grain and grass will definitely be insufficient, the Nancang country is brave and good at fighting, there is no food for the winter, and the wolf that has been hungry to the extreme is extremely fierce.
This battle is inevitable.
"I'm going to buy food tomorrow, and after a while, the price of food will definitely rise."
Lin Saburo thought that no matter whether they fought or not, they would prepare more food just in case.
Lu Ziling looked at them silently, not knowing how to comfort them, she lived without the smoke of war, and when she got here, if there was a war, only they, the poor people, would suffer, and she would also be implicated.
Lin Erlang's brows were slightly furrowed, his deep eyes were very dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The next day, Lin Dalang and Lin Saburo went to the town to buy food together.
Lu Ziling and Lin Erlang went up the mountain to collect prey, because the winter was approaching, the small animals were more active, and this time they actually caught nearly 20 prey, ten pheasants and ten rabbits, and the harvest was quite rich.
When they returned home, there was no one at home, not even Shiro, and after a little recollection, Lu Ziling found that there were few people walking around in the village.
You don't have to think about it to know that something happened, where did everyone go?
Could it be that he was arrested and sent to be a soldier?
Before she could think about it, there was a faint heart-rending cry from the east, "Let go of my son......"
