Chapter 52: I Didn't Hear Clearly
"Pastries? Sister Lin, you and I have been reduced to this, where else can I think of any pastries? ”
Bai Youling's eyes were full of sadness.
As soon as they heard the pastries, the people around them couldn't help but look at them, the small things of the pastries, in the past, they didn't even look at them in the capital, but now they have become an unattainable luxury.
Xiao Wu grabbed the corner of Lin Ximiao's clothes: "Eldest sister, can Xiao Wu also eat pastries?" ”
Looking at the slightly shining eyes of the clansmen, Lin Ximiao suddenly realized that some surprises outside of satiety might be more able to stimulate their desire to survive.
"Yes, wait for the eldest sister to make it, and Xiao Wu can eat as much as she wants." Lin Ximiao rubbed Xiao Wu's messy hair.
Bai Youling also noticed the expectations of the Bai family and lowered her voice: "Sister Lin, you need a steamer to make pastries, where can we get a steamer?" ”
"I bought it at the bottom of the mountain, but we couldn't go out, so we had to make friends with the villagers on the other side."
Before Lin Ximiao's words fell, Lin Huancheng directly collapsed: "I'll go!" Get me some chestnuts these days, and I'll dig out the eight generations of those people on the other side of the bridge tomorrow! ”
Everyone around laughed.
"Uncle, do you want to eat chestnuts?"
"Uncle, don't tease us."
Listening to the laughter, Lin Ximiao seriously considered that these people in the Lin family seemed to be more lively than Lin Huancheng.
"Okay, Ming'er, you prepare your own bags, fill as many as you want, go to the bridge to find out the news, if you don't dig out their ancestors for eight generations, but the military law will deal with it." Lin Ximiao made a knife movement.
Suddenly, a few good ones began to laugh at Lin Huancheng.
Lin Huancheng pulled his neck and shouted: "One of you is one, I remember them all!" When the time comes, I'll get back the bricks and mud, and I won't give you a single slag! ”
If you get the bricks back, you can mend the house, and now although the straw is paved, there are still many places where there is air leakage, and most of the children have a runny nose all day long.
Lin Ximiao took the lead, directly pressed Lin Huancheng to the ground, and forced him to give it.
The Lin family and the Bai family fell into a mess.
No one saw it, a few old ladies on the other side of the bridge, craned their necks to watch the excitement.
is also a wanderer, why is the other side so happy? Look at the people who have been allocated to them, it seems that they owe them hundreds of pounds of rice.
"Eh, you say, what are you doing on the other side?" One of them knocked on the melon seeds and poked the companion next to him.
The companion tiptoed and shook his head: "I don't know, I can't see, why don't you tell the patriarch?" We've got a couple of holes in our past, so maybe they're celebrating this. ”
"But come on, you just feel sorry for your man's injury, then it looks like a beast caught it, what's the matter? Can you still raise wild beasts on the other side? Alright, I'll go back first, see for yourself. ”
The one that swallowed melon seeds was obviously a little boring, so he twisted his ass and left.
Looking at the skinny little girl on tiptoe, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and drilled into the village like a mouse.
Lin Bai and his family didn't know that there were people on the other side of the bridge who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and they overheard their fights and had bad intentions.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Before Lin Ximiao woke up, she listened to the noise outside, and the sound of iron chains.
My intuition was not good, as soon as I turned over and opened the door to go out, I saw several officials with big knives and sticks in their hands, and a few young men from the Lin family fell to the side, probably injured.
"A few officials, what do you have to say, what is this!"
Lin Ximiao rushed out to protect the young men, and when she got up and shouted, her voice was out of tune.
The official stared at Lin Ximiao and sneered: "You are the patriarch here?" The Lin family bullied people and came with us. ”
As soon as the official's voice fell, the young man of the Lin family shouted, they didn't know what they were shouting, anyway, they couldn't let people take Lin Ximiao away.
The desperate momentum of the Lin family frightened the official messenger, and the iron chain in his hand did not shake out.
Lin Ximiao stood up and looked at the official with a cold gaze: "Bullying? How? Did any of the people from my Lin family run to the other side of the bridge? ”
The official was speechless, after all, since the Lin family was exiled here, they have always kept to themselves, and they have never stepped across the bridge.
"Or is it that now this law is rushed to the house, and you can't even fight back?"
Lin Ximiao smiled with contempt, and the sons and daughters of the Lin family were also full of anger when they looked at the official errand.
The official cha strangled the little donkey, retreated slightly, and was speechless for a while, they were used to being domineering in the place, and they had always said what was what, and it was the first time they had encountered such momentum.
"Official! Their Lin family occupies the mountains and forests and doesn't let us enter the mountains! ”
On the other side of the bridge, the villagers who came to see the excitement shouted loudly.
"That's right! Right! Occupy the mountains and forests! Patriarch of the Lin family, how do you explain this. ”
The official found a reason, and his waist straightened.
"Usurpation?"
Lin Ximiao sneered: "Did we beat them, or scolded them?" ”
There was a slight movement in the crowd, and a thin woman pushed her man out.
"Look at it, look at it, isn't this what you hit! The good clothes were made like this, and all the men in my family were injured. ”
The man lowered his head and wanted to go back, but he obviously couldn't pull his mother-in-law.
The wounds on his body could be seen at a glance to be scratched and bitten by wild beasts, but those officials didn't seem to have long eyes, and pointed at the man with a whip: "Patriarch of the Lin family, how do you explain this?" ”
Lin Ximiao understood at a glance that this official errand was on the side of the villagers, no matter how the Lin family explained, it was a quibble in their eyes.
She simply didn't argue, but asked in a cold voice, "What are you going to do, sir?" ”
"The Lin family occupies the mountains and forests, and should be punished with a cane and parade the streets!" The official's eyes lit up and he stared at Lin Ximiao.
These exiles used to be everyone's ladies, and they couldn't see them if they wanted to.
The cane is a trivial matter, this is a parade......
The official's eyes were like poisonous tongues, and the villagers on the other side of the bridge were also full of excitement.
The little girl of the Bai family couldn't help but rely on the boys of the Lin family, and Bai Youling couldn't help but pull Lin Ximiao's sleeve.
Lin Ximiao is ready to resist all punishments by herself, anyway, she doesn't plan to get married, and it doesn't matter if she can't swim in the streets, she can't let these children in the family suffer.
[Take out the jade pendant in the underwear]
The voice of the system suddenly sounded in my head.
Lining?
What's in her underwear?
Thinking about it, Lin Ximiao still reached out and probed, and sure enough, her fingertips touched a cold and round thing.
Amid the coaxing of the villagers on the other side of the bridge, the official had already turned over and got off the donkey, pulling those good-looking little girls.
"Stop."
Lin Ximiao's voice was low, but it was penetrating.
Those officials involuntarily stopped the movements of their hands, and watched Lin Ximiao come over step by step, and the feeling of oppression made cold sweat gradually ooze from the corners of their foreheads.
"Official, what did you just say? I didn't hear you. ”
