Chapter 42: Dreams

The black shadow hid in the corner of the kitchen where her mother couldn't see, and she poked her head out. Lin Ruyu didn't alarm her mother, grabbed another long knife placed by the door, and silently pushed the door open.

The lantern under the eaves of the hall emitted light, illuminating the blade of the knife in Lin Ruyu's hand, the blade of the knife was like a mirror, and the ghostly light was reflected on Lin Ruyu's face. Lin Ruyu, who was dressed in plain clothes, slowly lifted her pale face dyed with a large purple birthmark, rolled her eyes upward, stared at the black shadow on the wall and slowly grinned the corners of her mouth, hanging an oozing smirk. This effect is comparable to that of a ghost movie scene.

"Ah————h

"Who?" Fang, who was out of breath from practice, clenched his long knife and turned to the west wall, and asked sharply.

Soon, Third Uncle Ma and Shen Ge were alarmed and got up and came to the courtyard.

Lin Ruyu pretended to have just been woken up, put down the knife and walked out, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Seeing Lin Ruyu's appearance, Shen Ge, who saw the scene in his eyes, lowered his head and smiled. Fang suppressed his panic and replied as calmly as possible, "There is movement outside the courtyard wall here. ”

"The temple door is locked, and people outside can't get in, maybe it's the eight lambs in the backyard," Uncle Ma, who was woken up as soon as he fell asleep, was angry, "I'll take a look!" ”

"The third uncle and aunt have both appeared in front of them, so I'd better go." Shen Ge, who had just subsided from fever, was still hoarse, but his spirit had recovered, "I have a way to deal with them like this." ”

Although Shen Ge is not very old, he is the number one person in Wusha Town that even ruffians dare not provoke. So before Fang's mouth could stop him, Third Uncle Ma had already nodded, "Okay, Ge'er scared them honestly." ”

Fang Shi saw that Uncle Ma nodded, so he reminded, "It's cool at this time, Ge'er has another piece of clothing and a hat." If you can't handle it, just shout, and we'll be there right away. ”

"Auntie, don't worry." Although he didn't feel cold, Shen Ge still obediently went back to the house, put on his freshly washed coat and hat, and came out to ask Lin Ruyu with a smile, "Second sister, lend me the knife in the room?" ”

Belch......

With Shen Ge's eyes, Lin Ruyu knew that he had seen the scene of scaring the bad guys.

When you see it, you see it, what are you laughing at? Lin Ruyu also smiled in her eyes, and went back to the house to get the knife and handed it to him.

Shen Ge was discharged from the hospital with a knife, and found that the courtyard door in the backyard was not closed, so he walked straight to the courtyard, kicked open the door and entered the house, sat on the chair in the hall, and lazily called, "Get out." ”

Brother hiding in the east chamber, you touch me, I touch you, but I don't dare to move. In the end, it was Gao Erhu who pulled his neck and shouted, "Which green onion are you, what do you want to do when you break in without sleeping in the middle of the night?" When our brothers are so good to bully, they can't be bullied! ”

"Which onion am I?" Shen Ge took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the table, and said lazily, "Go and ask the blind man in your village to see if he knows which green onion I am." ”

Ma Er's blind man is a ruffian who does all kinds of evil in Hao Lianzhai, and when the Gao brothers heard this, their hearts were even more bottomless.

Seeing that they didn't dare to come out, Shen Ge felt more confident in his heart, and lazily threatened, "Don't let the master say it a second time." Otherwise, there will be more floating corpses in the flood below the mountain, you say, there are more floating corpses in the water, and the people of the yamen will ask or not? ”

Ask a fart!

At this time, the yamen is not here!

The brothers crowded together and walked out of the dark east room, and found that it was a half-grown child, Gao Erhu was about to jump to his feet and scold, but was frightened by the fierceness in Shen Ge's eyes and the long knife in his hand.

This kid is not easy to mess with.

Shen Ge, who has been struggling in the quagmire since he was a child and fighting hard to survive, saw through what kind of thing he was in front of him at a glance. He lifted his chin and said in a muted voice, "Sit." ”

After a while, Shen Ge came back from the backyard with a knife. The three Fang who were waiting at the gate of the East Courtyard stepped forward, "How is it?" ”

Shen Ge smiled brightly, "I told them, aunt, you are the wife of a big family in Xuanzhou, as long as you, the second sister and Ah Heng are sent back to Xuanzhou safely, I will give them two hundred taels of silver." Auntie sleep in peace, they have their vigil tonight. ”

Uncle Ma......

Lin Ruyu......

Fang's head with a smile, "Or does Goer have a way, can these three people be reliable?" ”

"Their relatives, their houses, and their fields are gone, and two hundred taels of silver are enough for them to buy land, build houses, and marry daughters-in-law after the disaster, so that they can live a better life than before the flood. As long as no one can give them more money to buy our lives, they can be trusted. The second sister still has silver taels? Tomorrow, if you shoot them five taels or ten taels, it will be more down-to-earth. ”

Although Shen Ge said that she could sleep with confidence, Fang's still kept watch in the courtyard for the first half of the night, and only returned to the east wing after Uncle Ma got up to change shifts.

The small oil lamp in the wing room suddenly emitted black smoke, there was a hot footwash next to the bed, and the daughter was lying in the quilt, only a small head was exposed, looking at her and smiling. Fang also laughed, carefully placed the knife on the side of the bed, and asked, "Jiaojiao hasn't slept all along?" ”

"My daughter made you a forehead wipe." Lin Ruyu took out the forehead hidden in the quilt and put it on her mother's pillow like a treasure, "Because there is no embroidery thread, I can only make plain noodles." ”

Although the fourteen-year-old girl is pampered, she still learns the female red that Daxia women must learn. It's just that after seventeen years, Lin Ruyu's fingers are a little rusty, and they can't compare to the embroidery girls in the house. But at this time and at that time, now it can only be settled.

Fang's clean hand picked up the snow blue and wiped his forehead, and when he touched the material, he was sad and relieved, "Jiaojiao did a good job, this is made of your new bedclothes?" ”

Lin Ruyu rubbed to her mother's side and warmed her cold waist with her body, "Well, this fabric is soft, and the color is also lined with the outer shirt that my mother wears." ”

"When I go back, my mother will make you a new one." Fang's cherished put the wipe on his forehead, wiped his feet on the bed, and got into the quilt, his daughter was as warm as a small stove, and her heart was also warm.

Lin Ruyu warmed her mother with her body and discussed with her, "Mother, let your daughter keep vigil in the future, it is most important for you to take care of your injuries." ”

She hurt her head, and she bled a lot, which can be healed in a day or two. As long as she can hold on, Fang's is reluctant to let her daughter suffer, "Mother will see the three people in the backyard tomorrow, if they can be trusted, let them have some more silver taels, let them also take turns to keep vigil, and we can sleep more." ”

"Okay." Lin Ruyu also thinks this method is good. She believed in Shen Ge's vision, and Shen Ge said that if they were reliable, they were worth using.

Although he was very tired, Fang still couldn't sleep. The daughter grew up and became sensible, and Fang's also told her a few words in her heart, "An Ziyuan and they just left, someone came up, and someone will definitely come tomorrow and tomorrow." We don't know how many more days we can live in this temple...... This is not a long-term solution, there is still a thousand taels of silver tickets hidden on the mother's body, how much is Jiaojiao? Let's start staring at the river tomorrow, if there is a big ship going east, let's go down the mountain, find a way to get on the boat, whether we can go back to Xuanzhou or not, let's go to the safe realm first. ”

"My daughter has two hundred taels and some broken silver." Lin Ruyu told her mother last time why she knew that the flood was coming, and through the Bodhisattva's dream, she said what would happen soon, "Mother, the Bodhisattva has given her daughter a dream, and within ten days, the second uncle will definitely bring two big ships to look for us, and then we will be able to return to Xuanzhou safely." ”

Lin Ruyu didn't tell her mother about this before, because she was afraid that her mother would invite An Ziyuan to board the boat, but now An Ziyuan has left in a small boat, so she can talk about it.
