Chapter 6 – Midnight
The green rain falls on the city, and the time is coming.
The husband was dressed in a coat and a hat, one carrying a lantern and the other holding a bamboo stick, and he was on the street in the North Liang District as usual.
With the lights on, the two of them had already walked to the door of the Lin Mansion.
The old husband was about to ring the bamboo pole, but the young lantern man on the side grabbed his arm and said in his ear: "Lao Zhang, have you heard?" The Lin Mansion is selling its own property, you say......"
Before he finished speaking, the old man hurriedly shook his arm and shook him away, pretending to be casual and stopped in front of the Lin Mansion.
The sound of bamboo bangs sounded, followed by the husband shouting at the top of his voice: "Don't work for a gentleman, in the middle of the night!" ”
There were two more bamboo bangs, and the old man took the man beside him and walked quickly to the dim place in front.
After looking around, he took the bamboo stick and knocked it on the head of the lantern boy.
"How many times have I said it! Don't talk about right and wrong in front of people's doors! If it were an ordinary family, you would dare to discuss the affairs of the Lin Mansion in front of the door? Do you think you've lived too long? ”
Holding the place where he was knocked, the young man defended: "The master of the Lin Mansion is very good......
Saying this, the old husband nodded in agreement, but then shook his head and said: "The master of the Lin Mansion is indeed kind and generous, but don't forget, she destroyed the Liu family overnight!" ”
After confirming that there was no one around again, the old man continued: "But if it is related to her family's affairs, this mansion master will never show mercy, the Lin Mansion sold its property for Lin Shangnan's testament, you are discussing this matter at the door of the Lin Mansion, this is looking for death!" ”
The old man taught the young man in front of him a lesson, and was about to remind him to be cautious in his words and deeds, but a cold voice came from the two of them.
"You guys, have you said enough?"
The two husbands were frightened, and when they raised their eyes, they didn't know when, the second son of the Lin Mansion was actually standing on the high wall overlooking the two of them, and his dark eyes were full of displeasure.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly pulled the young man back a few steps, stood in a brighter place and hurriedly bowed, saying something like the child is young and ignorant, and he will definitely not be next time.
never thought that the second son on the high wall just said lightly, "go".
The two didn't dare to think about it, so they thanked them and hurriedly ran into the distance, and in the darkness, they could still hear the old man's complaints.
Seeing the two of them walking away, our two sons also jumped and quickly ran towards the depths of the Lin Mansion.
His target was a courtyard in the Lin Mansion, where Lin Weiyang's boudoir was located.
At this moment, the house was still lit with an oil lamp and the door was wide open, Lin Weiyang didn't even change his clothes during the day, he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Yuan who was sleeping on the bed with a sad face.
The breeze mixed with the coolness of the rainy night kept blowing into Lin Weiyang's boudoir, and the lights on the table were also swaying in the wind.
It stands to reason that no one should feel hot, but on Lin Yuan's forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept popping up, causing Lin Weiyang to wipe him frequently.
Outside the door, a sound of footsteps treading water sounded, and Lin Weiyang knew that Lin Sanli had returned, which meant that the time had come.
But looking at Lin Yuan, who had been asleep on the bed for a day, she really couldn't bear to wake up Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan confessed, no matter what, she woke him up.
Helpless, Lin Weiyang shook Lin Yuan gently, and shouted "Xiao Yuan" in a soft tone.
Lin Yuan didn't make any movement.
Lin Sanli, who walked into the door quickly, saw that Lin Yuan hadn't woken up yet, he walked directly to the bed, pulled Lin Yuan's collar and pulled his upper body up, and raised his right hand high under Lin Weiyang's wide eyes.
"Bang", crisp and loud.
"It hurts!"
Lin Yuan woke up.
Lin Yuan, who had just woken up, had hazy eyes, he didn't have time to react, he only felt a hot pain on his face, so he hurriedly lay on Lin Weiyang's legs and rubbed the side of his beaten face.
Lin Weiyang was distressed and hugged Lin Yuan, she was a little speechless, looked at Lin Sanli with a strange expression and said, "Sanli, you ......"
"He said it himself, Zi Shi." Lin Sanli still said indifferently.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head and pointed at Lin Sanli, but he didn't know how to refute him, so he could only cover his face and continue to bury it on Lin Weiyang's lap, letting Lin Weiyang comfort her.
After making a fuss for a while, Lin Yuan felt that his face was better, so he dragged his tired body against the bed.
"Sanli, have you found it?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lin Sanli nodded to indicate that he had caught it, and then pointed his chin and signaled that the person was in the room.
"He came on his own."
This sentence made Lin Yuan a little confused, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" ”
Knowing that Lin Sanli was not good at words, Lin Weiyang wiped the remaining sweat for Lin Yuan and said, "This person took the initiative to find Sanli and asked Sanli to bring him to Lin Mansion to see you...... Moreover, you seem to know. ”
Lin Yuan passed through his mind for a moment, his thoughts instantly became much clearer, he looked like he had suddenly realized, tilted his head and shouted behind him, "Old man! Come out for me! ”
What should be with Lin Yuan is a middle-aged man's laughter.
He walked slowly to the bed, and his slightly wrinkled face met Lin Yuan's eyes.
The person who was brought back by Lin Sanli was actually the one who lived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.
Lin Yuan sat on the bed and looked meaningfully at the middle-aged man in front of him, he groped his chin and looked at him for a long time.
After a while, Lin Yuan suddenly burst out laughing, and the old man laughed too.
Holding his chin, Lin Yuan looked at the old man and said, "Let me guess, if the Lin family is looking for you and asking you to make some trips for me." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, sat down at the table by himself, and poured the tea.
"Yes and no." The old man said.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yuan asked.
The old man held the teacup in his hand and said, "The one who came to me was indeed the housekeeper of the Lin family, but he didn't say who ordered him, I tried to test a few words, but to no avail." ”
"Then why are you helping them?" Lin Weiyang's dissatisfied voice sounded, to be honest, she really wanted to beat him up in the afternoon, but Lin Yuan said not to hurt this person, so she had to endure it.
"It's because of Xiaohu and them."
It was not the old man who answered Lin Weiyang, but Lin Yuan.
His face suddenly became ugly, among the children who studied reading with the old man, there were a few who lived in the Lin family's sphere of influence, and there was only this reason that could force him to attack him.
The Lin family actually used a few children to threaten the old man!
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yuan's heart ignited with anger, and even Lin Weiyang's face was full of contempt.
There was a long breath of turbidity, since the old man helped them, those little dolls should be safe.
"And what do you mean by 'yes and no'?"
The old man didn't answer in a hurry, he calmly took a sip of tea before he spoke: "I always feel that it is the personal intention of the housekeeper not to let you enter the city, not the meaning of the Lin family." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Lin sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and fell into their own deep thoughts.
And Lin Sanli stood behind the old man with a knife, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
The old man was leisurely sipping the tea that had already been cooled, and his eyes were constantly wandering between the Lin sisters and brothers.
When the old man had finished drinking, he opened his mouth to break the silence between the two of them.
"Lord Lin, it's this wild boy who has been making suggestions behind your back all these years."
Lin Weiyang really didn't like the three words "wild boy", but she didn't hate Lin Yuan when she saw it, but she was friendly with this middle-aged man, so it was inconvenient for her to offend, so she had to nod and admit it.
"Oh~ I said, what is going on in the family of the seven aunts and eight aunts, what is the trouble my cousin encountered today, it turns out that I am looking for a good way to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."
The old man's weird voice made Lin Yuan understand that it would be impossible for him to extort some benefits from him today, he thought that the fact that he was plotted was enough to blackmail him, but he didn't expect this old fox to actually cut off the road for him with the matter of Chen Sesame and rotten grain.
Lin Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, but Lin Weiyang laughed inexplicably.
The old man's affairs also explained, and he had drunk enough tea, so he patted his legs and stood up, saluted the two, and said: "Lord Lin, Lin ~ Gongzi, I have been bothering for a long time today, and the old man will retire first." ”
After speaking, the old man turned around and prepared to leave, but Lin Sanli blocked his retreat tightly, until Lin Yuan asked him to let him go, and Lin Sanli made a way.
Passing by Lin Sanli's side, the tip of the old man's nose moved, he sniffed a few times, suddenly stopped, and said to Lin Sanli with a sideways face: "Little guy, it is important to have a goal in life, but you must also think about yourself." ”
After speaking, the old man patted Lin Sanli's chest and walked towards the door.
"Old man, did you already know that I was Lin Yuan?"
Hearing the voice behind him, the old man tugged at his beard and said thoughtfully, "This is the first time I've seen you...... Oh, you'll know it the first time I see you. ”
After playing with Lin Yuan, the old man turned his head and saw the trembling corners of Lin Yuan's eyes, he couldn't help laughing, turned around and stepped out of the door, only one sentence floated into the house.
"Wild boy, remember, you lost and owe me a meal!"
Grandpa's! Forget about this stubble! I already knew I didn't talk much!
Lin Yuan shouted bitterly in his heart, he lost his wife and broke his army, not only did he not pit the old man, but he also took a meal into it! I would have known that I wouldn't bet with this old man, whoever guesses the identity of the other party first will invite him to dinner, the ghost knows that his identity is so easy to guess!
But he still called Lin Sanli and asked him to send off the old man.
Before Lin San left the door, he looked at Lin Yuan's hand seriously......
When Lin San walked away from the door, Lin Weiyang finally couldn't help it, she looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on her face, and said lightly: "You have a plan...... Thought about it for a long time? ”
Embarrassing, embarrassing!
Lin Yuan pretended not to hear, covered his head and wailed that he was dizzy, and slowly lay on Lin Weiyang's lap again, but he secretly scolded the old man in his heart for having no conscience, and he was going to invite him to dinner and pit himself!
And Lin Weiyang didn't break his little trick, just reached out and pulled it on his face, and then stroked his head.
The two haven't been under the same roof for five years, and although they are in the same city, they have to pretend that they don't know each other, and even if they happen to meet, they can only pass by.
Today, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, the two can finally live under the same roof again.
"Are you still feeling well?" Lin Weiyang asked softly.
"It's much better, now that I think about it, the old man should have felt that my body was weak and overwhelmed, so he didn't attack too hard, and he took away the suppression of me early in the morning."
"What about you...... When did you learn swordsmanship? Even I hid it? Lin Weiyang was a little dissatisfied.
Lin Yuan knew that he couldn't escape if he should escape.
Scratching his cheek and sitting up, Lin Yuan didn't know how to speak, but seeing Lin Weiyang's gradually bulging cheeks, he had no choice but to start explaining.
"Sister, I really haven't practiced, I don't believe you."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan shook his two arms.
This scene is familiar.
"Breeze on your sleeves again?" Lin Weiyang joked.
Lin Yuan was speechless, he grabbed one hand directly on his arm, and said, "Look, with such a thin arm, you can't even hold a sword, and you still practice swordsmanship, it's impossible." ”
This Lin Weiyang believes that his little brother has not liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he can't do anything that has to be solved by strength, not to mention, his arm is still injured......
"Then why were you so ruthless yesterday?" Lin Weiyang was puzzled.
Lin Yuan really didn't know how to explain it at this moment, so he held back for a long time, so he had to say, "That's not my ......"
Lin Weiyang was puzzled, staring at Lin Yuan with blank eyes.
But he really didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "When I was a child, I had a dream that I was sitting on a lake with my reflection in the lake. ”
"But that reflection can speak, he can walk, and he can even break through the water, sit across from me and talk to me."
"I heard that voice again before I started with Lei Ming yesterday, and after that, although I knew what I was doing, my body was moving on its own, and I couldn't intervene if I wanted to."
Lin Yuan explained, but the voice of his explanation gradually became smaller, because Lin Weiyang's cheeks were already bulging, and it seemed that he didn't believe Lin Yuan's nonsense at all.
Lin Yuan shouted in his heart again, this time, he was telling the truth, so he pulled Lin Weiyang's soft and said to make her believe in herself.
And Lin Weiyang reluctantly accepted this statement, and then asked: "Then why did you let me sell my property?" Is it to deliberately let the Northern Liang Domain know that we are raising money? ”
"Clever!" Lin Yuan praised, and then continued: "Let them know that we are raising money, then the purpose is obvious, it is still for Dad's letter." ”
"But we don't have to sell it to have someone know we didn't get enough money." Lin Yuan was still talking.
"And when the news reaches the ears of the person who stole the letterhead, then he will steal the letter again." Lin Yuan got up.
"If you steal it, you'll bring it to me." Lin Yuan stood in front of the window.
"Isn't it, friend of the roof?"
