Chapter 41: The Dark Shadow on the Wall

"This big brother, have you seen my mother, wife and children?" Gao Dahu took the two brothers to climb up to the halfway point of the mountain, patted open the temple door, and saw that it was not a monk who opened the door, but a big man who was not easy to mess with, so he was stunned for a moment and asked politely.

Third Uncle Ma shook his head, "No." ”

The tall and thin second tiger on the side of the tall tiger turned his eyes twice, and he also walked to the door, and asked confidently, "Big brother, where did you call, where did I come from, uncle?" Our brothers are from Haolianzhai Wantou Village, and the master of Wunian in this temple is our uncle. ”

Uncle Ma heard Fang Jiayin say that the old monk in this temple is indeed called Wunian. But he looked at the three monks in front of him, "his own nephew", and replied unhurriedly, "Master Wunian went out and didn't return, and a certain person was entrusted here to guard the mountain gate for their master and apprentice." ”

Hearing that the old bald donkey was not there, Gao Erhu's waist immediately straightened, and he looked Uncle Ma up and down twice with his small eyes, "Are you?" ”

Uncle Ma San replied without blushing and panting, "A certain is the maternal uncle of the little monk Lichen, the dart head of the smooth dart game, Ma San." ”

"You're a liar!" Gao Erhu screamed, "Who doesn't know that the little bald donkey from the dust was thrown at the gate of the temple, where did he come from!" ”

Third Uncle Ma raised his hand to press the handle of the knife, and his face sank, "I didn't hear Master Wunian mention that he has a nephew of a layman." ”

Gao Erhu was so frightened that he took two steps back, almost didn't sit on the ground, Gao Dahu hurriedly pulled and said, "Ma Darthead, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this brother can't speak, don't be like him." We can't help it...... The home is gone, and I still hope that my mother and the children can escape the catastrophe and come to the master, but I didn't expect it...... Woowoo woo ......"

The seven-foot-tall man said that he was sad, squatting on the ground and holding his head and crying bitterly, Gao Erhu gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red. The youngest and strongest Gao Sanhu did not speak with a calm face, turned sideways to avoid Uncle Ma, and stepped into the temple.

Seeing that Uncle Ma didn't stop the third brother, the two brothers of the Gao family immediately followed in and walked straight to the backyard. Third Uncle Ma didn't care about them anymore, closed the temple gate and returned to the east courtyard, and saw the Fang family of four and their sons standing by the courtyard gate with sticks, and couldn't help laughing, "What is this for?" ”

Shengzi muttered in a low voice, "Third Uncle, they are definitely not the lay nephews of Master Wunian. ”

"I'm not the uncle of the little monk Lichen."

After Uncle Ma finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard laughed. Then he explained, "At first glance, these people are not great evildoers, and it is not all bad to let them live in. ”

The Gao brothers rushed to the backyard to touch around, picked a few palm-long cucumbers in the vegetable garden and clicked and gnawed, and after going to the west courtyard for a turn, they returned to the backyard and pried the lock on the door to enter the house, and did not come out again.

"Boom—"

With the sound of dull thunder, the rain that had been hanging for half a day finally fell, and the wolf smoke that had been burning for nearly half a day in the west was also pressed down by the rain.

Shengzi took the clothes and shoes hanging in the yard into the kitchen, and discussed with Dafuku, who was making rabbit cages by the stove, "Brother Dafu, when the rain stops, let's go to the forest to pick up mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots?" ”

"I'll go too!" Xiao Ah Heng, who was guarding the rabbit, immediately followed.

"What is Heng going to do?" Fang walked in from the outside with a broken oil umbrella.

"Picking up mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots." Xiao Ah Heng had never played these two things, so he was very excited, "Mother, the child also wants to follow the eldest brother and eldest brother." ”

Fang was surprised, "Are there any bamboo shoots on the mountain this month?" ”

"There are bamboo shoots, which are sweet and better than spring bamboo shoots." Shengzi gestured to everyone to tell everyone how to follow the bamboo whip of the bamboo and find the tip of the bamboo shoots buried in the soil, and finally said, "The bamboo whip bamboo shoots are called bamboo ginseng in our place, and digging them back can make up for the body of aunt and Brother Shen." ”

There are only a few litres of corn, a few litres of coarse noodles, beans, eggplants, cucumbers and other seasonal vegetables picked from the vegetable garden, which is not enough for seven people. Fang felt that he could still hold on, but Shen Ge was injured and lost too much blood and had a high fever, so he really should make up for it.

However, there is no rush for this time.

Fang said with a smile, "Shengzi knows a lot, but thanks to you, we can find such delicious food." But it's raining outside now, so we'll go back when the weather clears. ”

When going out to dig bamboo shoots, Fang's had to discuss it with Uncle Ma before he could decide.

Uncle Ma went back to the east to make up for sleep, but Fang was inconvenient to disturb, so he turned around and returned to the door of the east wing, but saw his daughter holding a long knife and gesturing. Fang Shi was so frightened that she almost fainted, she held on to the door frame and slowed down, before whispering, "Jiaojiao, put the knife down quickly, it will be troublesome if you are injured." ”

Seeing that her mother was frightened, Lin Ruyu put down her weapon and helped her mother into the house, explaining, "This knife was picked up by my daughter and my third uncle at the bottom of the mountain, and my daughter is familiar with it first, in case of emergency." ”

Shen Ge is sick, his mother is injured, Brother Dafu is honest and easy to deceive, his son and Ah Heng are still young, and they can't rely on Uncle Ma alone, Lin Ruyu has to stand up. She looked at the bright knife and was scared in her heart, but as long as she held the handle of the knife tightly, it was someone else who was afraid!

"How energetic can you be, if you want to be familiar with it, you can also come to the mother, Jiaojiao retreats." Fang took a deep breath and raised his hand to grab the hilt.

Lin Ruyu held the handle of the knife in her hand, took two steps back and said with a smile, "The injury on my mother's head is not healed yet, my daughter can do it, you see." ”

Lin Ruyu raised the knife with both hands and slashed downward, and the wooden stick leaning against the wall with thick arms was cut in two.

Fang was stunned, "Jiaojiao, you, where did you get so much strength?" ”

What a knife! After successfully cutting the wood, Lin Ruyu's confidence soared, and she raised her arm and said, "My daughter is born with divine power!" ”

"You were born by your mother, do you have any divine power that you don't know?" Fang Shi looked at his daughter's thin arm and only felt sad, "Let my mother try it." ”

"Be careful, hold on to the hilt of your knife and don't let go." Lin Ruyu handed the knife to her mother and told her a thousand times.

Of course, her strength is not innate, but as an orphan, it was forced out little by little after seventeen years. Because of congenital heart disease, Lin Ruyu can't run away when she encounters bad guys, and can only rely on brute force, ingenuity and heart to win.

Fang puffed up, raised his knife and slashed hard at the wooden stick. Then, the stick did not break, and the knife was jammed. She lifted the knife upwards again, and the stick followed off the ground.

Fang's ......

"Let my daughter come. Lin Ruyu took the knife and chopped it down hard, chopping the wooden stick into two.

Fang's eyes widened in surprise, and he had to admit that his daughter's strength was indeed greater than hers.

The rain continued until dark, and Shen Ge's wound did not deteriorate after the medicine, and seeing that he had some energy, he offered to keep vigil. Third Uncle Ma and the others refused to let them, so tonight, Third Uncle Ma guarded the second half of the night, and Fang's guard the first half of the night.

Lin Ruyu wanted to keep vigil with her mother, but her mother sternly refused.

Because the frog sound was too loud, she couldn't hear the movement in the courtyard in the house, Lin Ruyu was not at ease, so she got up lightly and went to the door to look out, and her eyes turned red.

Under the lantern, in the small courtyard, her mother, who was still wrapped in a white bandage on her head, clenched her long knife in both hands, and was repeating again and again the action of chopping the wooden stick with all her strength today.

Mothers are desperate to protect their children.

I have to work hard, Lin Ruyu clenched her fists and raised her eyes, but found a black shadow lying on the wall!
