Chapter 99: Should It Be?
Lin Yang sat in front of Lin Siyuan's grave for a day and a night, and did not return to the small courtyard in the col until he finished saying everything in his heart.
"Brother Yang, are you there?"
Not long after Lin Yang returned to the courtyard, he heard a crisp woman's shouting outside the door.
"How did you get here?" Lin Yang pushed the door and walked out, looking coldly at the woman in front of him with a wonderful figure and beautiful appearance, she was Lin Yuqing.
Lin Yuqing's face turned red with shame in an instant under Lin Yang's cold gaze, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Yang's gaze.
"You did it to keep the courtyard so tidy up here?" Lin Yang knew that Lin Yuqing could find this place, and he must have suspected that the previous black-bearded man was himself. However, Lin Yang was reluctant to admit it. For Lin Yuqing, he no longer hated or blamed her, but he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
"No, it's not me." Lin Yuqing waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained: "It's someone else, he has lived here for a while, I have also stayed here for a few days, he and I, me and him, he saved me and let me be here,......。 ”
Lin Yuqing was a little incoherent, and Lin Yang's attitude and reaction made her rhetoric, which she had rehearsed countless times before, useless at all.
"You don't have to explain so much to me, since you didn't tidy up the courtyard, I don't have to thank you. Have you come here for something? If you have something, please say it quickly, and if you have nothing to do, please leave quickly. Lin Yang's voice was as cold as ice, and he didn't have half any pity for the ashamed and delicate beautiful woman in front of him, and he had a posture of destroying flowers.
"Brother Yang, I did something wrong before, and I came here today to apologize to you,......。" Lin Yuqing plucked up the courage to apologize to Lin Yang.
"There is no need to apologize, the matter has passed, what should have happened has happened, what is the use of apologizing?" Lin Yang responded coldly.
"Brother Yang, I was really forced to do so, my grandfather was greedy for the family's money, and Lin Tianfang and Lin Lang used this to threaten me. You should know very well that if they handed over Grandpa, Grandpa would not only be expelled from the family, but would also have to suffer a hundred baguettes. My grandfather was; Old and frail, not to mention a hundred baguettes, even ten sticks he can't bear. I was an orphan since I was a child, and it was my grandfather who adopted me. How could I watch him die? Lin Yuqing said in one breath the reason why he framed Lin Yang back then.
Lin Yang knew that Lin Yuqing was not lying. Lin Yuqing is an orphan, and it was Lin Sinan, the orphan of the Lin family, who adopted her. Lin Sinan loves to take advantage of small things, he manages the accounts of a villa of the Lin family, and it is very possible to do things that are greedy for the family's money.
"Lin Yuqing, the past is gone, I'm relieved, you can let it go, you don't need to apologize to me. If you come here for this purpose, then please go back, there is no need. Lin Yang made a gesture to see off the guest.
Lin Yuqing bit her lip, and her big beautiful eyes were already full of tears.
"Also, in the future, you can just call me Lin Yang. Brother Yang? I can't afford it! After speaking, Lin Yang turned around and walked slowly towards the courtyard.
"I know that the one who saved me before was you! You don't have to pretend to be so vicious, I never expect to be able to get your forgiveness, I just want you to know the truth, I want you to know that I have remorse and guilt all the time these days. When Lin Yuqing said this, tears finally couldn't stop flowing, and she suddenly raised her voice: "Lin Lang asked me to frame you, I actually really hope that you really think about me, but you don't, you never have, no matter how I hint to you, you only treat me as a sister." You didn't even think about my feelings, you never ,......。 ”
When Lin Yuqing said this, he hid his face and cried, and then turned around suddenly, crying while running.
Lin Yang stood in place in a daze, his heart was mixed, and finally he sighed and slowly closed the door of the courtyard.
……
The morning sun hit under the old elm tree, and Lin Yang finished his morning cultivation and prepared to start implementing his alchemy plan.
There was a knock on the door to the courtyard.
There was a trace of unhappiness on Lin Yang's face, the only people who could come here were people from the Lin family, and Lin Yang also heard that there were many people outside the door.
Lin Yang didn't want to open the door, he didn't want to see the people of the Lin family, but the knock sound sounded again.
"If there is nothing important, go back and forth from where you want, and don't bother me again. If there is something urgent, please wait for me an hour. Lin Yang said this, making it clear that he didn't want to see the people of the Lin family.
Lin Yang didn't care what the reaction of the Lin family outside the door would be, he sat down with his back against the old elm tree, and sank his mind into the mad blood beads, the plan to refine Yuan Ji Dan was already on the agenda, he had to go and see the situation of the water drop grass, this is the key element of refining Yuan Ji Dan, and he can't make any mistakes.
Inside the Blood Beads, the Spirit Cat occupies a large area of meadow, running around frantically, while the two Wind Beasts inhabit the woods in the Blood Beads, fluttering and frolicking each other.
At the junction of the forest and the meadow, next to the river, Lin Yang carved out a forbidden land, which was his warehouse and medicine garden. No matter how crazy the Spirit Cat and the Wind Beast were, they would never dare to enter this forbidden land.
Lin Yang's so-called warehouse was nothing more than a slightly flat open space, where Yuan stones, pills, Xuangang crossbows, and other items were stacked at random. As for the medicine garden, it was just a few things planted, a yellow warp, a drop of grass, a few red tears, and the unknown seed that I got from the Huang Liuyuan.
Because Huang Qiao and the water drop grass were nourished by the essence of the earth, although they were planted in the mad blood beads that had almost no heaven and earth aura, they were growing gratifyingly, especially the water drop grass, which actually had a trend of reproduction and development, Lin Yang roughly estimated that this piece of water drop grass should be able to refine more than five hundred copies of Yuan Ji Dan, which was still slightly lacking from the number of eight hundred. So, he gritted his teeth and poured two drops of water drop grass into this drop of grass, for the sake of the five-pattern yuan Ji Dan, Lin Yang was considered to have made a lot of money.
As for the Red Tears, their usage was to dry them and light them, and Lin Yang didn't expect to be able to grow them, so he just planted them by the river at will, and didn't waste the spiritual essence on them. It's just that to Lin Yang's surprise, the vitality of the red tears is quite vigorous, and they actually survived tenaciously without half of them being damaged. This is definitely a surprise for Lin Yang.
In the end, there was only the unknown seed in the medicine garden, and although it was dripping with earth spirit marrow, it was still buried deep in the soil, without any changes, let alone germinating and taking root. Fortunately, Lin Yang didn't expect anything from it, after all, Lin Yang hadn't even figured out what it was.
After inspecting the warehouse and medicine garden, Lin Yang teased the spirit cat for a while before withdrawing his mind from the mad blood bead.
It was quiet outside the courtyard, but Lin Yang could sense that the people outside the door had not left.
Lin Yang was a little surprised, he didn't expect the group of people outside the door to have such good patience. However, since he said that the time of an hour was good, he would definitely not give a half-point discount. Seeing that there was still some time before an hour, he leaned on the old elm tree and half lay down, the sun shining on his face, warm and comfortable.
Knock knock, just after an hour had passed, a knock sounded on time at the door.
"Lin Yang, it's time for an hour, you can open the door." A voice came in from outside the door, it was Lin Zhengtao.
Lin Zhengtao is one of the few people who can be seen by Lin Yang in the Lin family, and when he comes to call the door, Lin Yang naturally wants to give him a few thin noodles.
Lin Yang slowly opened the door of the courtyard, and suddenly saw Lin Tianhao and the elders of the Lin family, and now the people who could speak to the Lin family were standing outside the gate of the courtyard.
"Lin Yang, we are here today to implore you to return to the family. As long as you are willing to return to the family, no matter what conditions you propose, we will agree to you! Lin Tianhao looked at Lin Yang with a look of hope, and the other family elders also nodded.
"I've already said I'm not interested." Lin Yang responded coldly.
"Lin Yang, I know that we did something wrong at the beginning, I can gather the whole clan, apologize to you in front of them, and do everything we have in the Lin family to compensate you, as long as you are willing to return to the family, I am willing to do anything!" Lin Tianhao bent his waist and tried to open his cloudy eyes to look at Lin Yang.
"Apologize? Did it work? Will my grandfather come back to life? Compensate me? What compensation can you give me? Lin Yang asked a series of rhetorical questions.
Lin Tianhao silently lowered his head and was speechless.
"You people, one by one, bearing the titles of family head and elder, enjoy a generous supply of resources, but what have you done for the Lin family? Tend to be inflammatory, bully the soft and afraid of the hard; The tribesmen were humiliated before their eyes, pretending to be deaf and dumb; Strong enemies enter the house and compete to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Such a family that has rotted to the root has long been strong on the outside, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses! Why should I clean up the mess for you? Lin Yang asked loudly as he swept his sharp eyes over the faces of everyone in the Lin family.
All the elders of the Lin family blushed and lowered their heads in shame.
"Please go back! Don't come here again! Lin Yang was about to close the door.
"Lin Yang, I'm sorry that the people who are sorry for you are just a handful of us, but there are hundreds of people in the Lin family who have not hurt you, and some have even hugged you and helped you when you were young. Since you already know that the Lin family is in danger, can you watch the Lin family fall into danger and watch their family die? Lin Zhengtao blocked the door.
Lin Yang was silent, and Lin Zhengtao's words touched his heart.
The mountain breeze was light, and the branches of the old elm trees in the courtyard swayed with the wind, and the elm leaves fell curly around the exposed roots of several old trees, among which a slightly distant elm leaf was gently sent to Lin Yang by the wind.
Lin Yang slowly stretched out his hand, and the leaves fell softly on his palm.
"The leaves fall back to the roots, my roots are the Lin family after all! Grandpa, are you hinting at me? Lin Yang raised his head and set his eyes on the old elm tree.
I don't know if it's an accident, or if Lin Siyuan really has a spirit, a violent mountain wind suddenly blew, and the treetops of the old elm tree were blown to the side again and again, like people nodding frequently.
A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yang's face, and he muttered to himself, "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, I know what to do." ”
"If you want me to go back to the Lin family, it's okay. But I have a few conditions, and you must say yes. If there's one you can't do, then it's over. Lin Yang spoke out word by word.
"Okay, as long as you are willing to go back to the Lin family, don't say a few conditions, even dozens or hundreds of conditions, and we will promise you!" Lin Tianhao was overjoyed, and the other family elders nodded busily.
Lin Yang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "First, Lin Tian's people who let Lin Lang and his line go will be expelled from the family and driven out of Xian'an City!" Should? ”
"Okay, I'll expel them today, and I won't let them appear in Xian'an City again!" Lin Tianhao immediately agreed.
"Second, among the family elders present, I want more than half of you to resign as elders and let the rest of the family take their place. These people are chosen by me in the first place in the family, and then voted by the clansmen. Should? Lin Yang set his eyes on the elders.
The elders looked at each other one by one, at a loss.
"The Lin family is dying! What's the use of you holding on to an elder's position? A defeated Lin family, the so-called elder, is just a joke! Lin Yang, I agree! Lin Zhengtao, as the elder of the family, was the first to agree.
Although Lin Zhengtao's words are difficult to hear, the truth in them is impossible to refute. With Lin Zhengtao's drive, other elders immediately nodded and agreed. Soon, among the more than 20 elders of the Lin family, only four people remained for a long time.
"What are you thinking? Still thinking about the little ninety-nine in your heart? I tell you, without your consent, I can use the right of the head of the house to remove you from your position as an elder right now! Lin Tianhao spoke, and his tone was very stern.
The four elders of the Lin family, who refused to agree for a long time, saw that Lin Tianhao was going to be serious, so they had to agree one after another.
"Third, you step down as the head of the family and Lin Zhengtao will take over!" Lin Yang looked at Lin Tianhao.
Lin Tianhao's expression was calm, he seemed to have expected it.
The other family elders looked stunned one by one, and some even set their eyes on Lin Zhengtao, presumably thinking that Lin Zhengtao had done something in it, because everyone knew that Lin Yang obviously treated Lin Zhengtao differently.
"Lin Yang, this matter must not be allowed, I am still young, where can I take on the responsibility of the head of the family, where can I serve the public?" Lin Zhengtao hurriedly excused himself.
"Uncle Tao, don't be too humble, no one in the current Lin family is more suitable to be the head of the family than you. Moreover, with me supporting you, who would dare to disagree? Lin Yang swept his gaze over the elders of the family one by one, and no one dared to look at him.
"Zhengtao, you should respond, you are the head of the house, I agree." Lin Tianhao spoke, and his expression looked a little detached.
