Chapter 2 Ancestral second-rate sons

After going down the mountain, Fan Ling walked straight towards a courtyard house, and before she reached the gate, she could hear the sound of Lang reading aloud from the courtyard.

After Fan Ling made sure that there was no one around, she stepped on the wall with a jump, sat on the wall and looked inside, "Su Can, what are you reading?" ”

A young man in a linen shirt stopped the sound of books, slowly raised his head and smiled, "Grandpa said that after reading this book, he would take me out to play, saying that he was going to the mainland." ”

Fan Ling's eyes lit up, "Are you going to Yuntian Sect?"

The young man shook his head, "I didn't say it, I just said that I would go to the mainland to play." ”

Fan Ling nodded, thoughtful, and then asked, "Is there anything delicious?"

The boy smiled brightly, "Yes, I kept it for you, and Fluttershy kept a little bit of it, why don't you send it to her?"

Fan Ling turned over and landed in the courtyard lightly, "I have already finished reading your book, it is very boring, that is, some big truths about human relations or something, in short, it can be summed up in four words: human feelings are sophisticated, boring and boring." I took it myself. ”

The young man blinked and said, "It's boring, you have to finish it, I can't compare to you, you can never forget it, besides, grandpa said that when you finish reading, you will take me to play." ”

The young man thought for a moment and then asked, "You just said Yuntian Sect, are you going to Yuntian Sect?"

Fan Ling's mouth in the house was stuffed with delicious pastries, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and she kept putting the pastries in the box into her pocket, and after hearing the young man's question, she said vaguely, "Yes, my grandfather asked me to go to Yuntian Sect, and he said that my cultivation was too loose." ”

The young man nodded, and said that when the time comes, I will go to you when I go to the mainland to play, so I will ignore Fan Ling, who is rummaging through the cabinets in the house, and read the book by myself.

In the end, Fan Ling took off her blouse, wearing only a small vest, which was filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries, and said to the young man who was still reading with a smile: Let's go.

The boy stopped the sound of the book again and nodded, "Next time you bring a bigger basket." ”

Fan Ling held a large bag of pastries, shuttled through the streets and alleys, and shouted when she met people, uncles and aunts, grandparents.

These people have watched her grow up since she was a child, and Fan Ling is the daughter of the local parents and officials, these people also like this girl who is full of aura and knowledge, and if there is anything delicious at home, they will stuff it to each other when they see Fan Ling, or keep it for each other.

Follow the street to the end, and then look to the left, you can see a row of low houses, which is the maid Fluttershy's home, but you have to take a detour to walk over, there are several families with dogs, and they bared their teeth and barked when they saw people, Fan Ling didn't want to be like a dog, and she still held her beloved pastry in her hand, in case a piece really received a loss, it is estimated that the dog stewed has the mind.

After passing through a few houses, a row of low houses was surrounded by a fence, and there was a wall inside the wall, separating the houses, and the families were crammed into one room.

Fan Ling looked at those low houses, nodded, counted them one by one, and when she walked to the twenty-seventh house, there was a sound of ping-pong bells inside, and there was a woman's roar, "Lin Duozi, if the old lady doesn't pick your skin today, the old lady will believe you." ”

"Hey, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, let's be reasonable, you said that you can't pick that peach, I didn't pick it, you see, it's not still there." ”

"I'll keep you here, let you still be there..."

There was a crackling, accompanied by the man's screams, Fan Ling listened to it with relish outside the door, until there was no movement inside, Fan Ling gently clicked the door three times with her fingers, "Aunt Six, are you killing pigs at home?"

The sixth aunt, the sixth in the family, the family is also poor, so she married the poorest Lin Duozi in the town, fortunately, although the Lin Duozi people are poor, but they are not lazy to eat, so sometimes they are a little bit of a splash, no, they planted a peach tree at home, and they saw that the best peach was grown, saying that it was reserved for Fan Ling, and their daughters couldn't eat it.

The sixth aunt pointed out that the family was not allowed to pick it, and when Fan Ling came to let Fan Ling taste it, the plop forest stacks were not picked, but the peaches on the peach tree were only peach pits.

As soon as the sixth aunt heard the voice, she knew that Fan Ling was coming, and she went to open the door with a happy face, "Ling'er is here, my aunt wants to kill a pig to pick up the wind for your girl, so I will open the door for you."

Seeing that Fan Ling was holding a large bag of pastries in her hand, the woman glared at Lin Duanzi, who was half-leaning and half-lying in the corner, and shouted, "Don't take the stool and pour water." ”

Fan Ling hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, auntie, I'm just here to bring Fluttershy something delicious and ask her to help me do something, you guys are busy with yours, hey, uncle, I really don't need to, if you want to see you like this, I won't come next time." ”

Lin Duozi scratched his head with a smile, put the stool and water in the yard, he can splash skin for other people, but for this benefactor who finds a place to live for his family and finds a job to do, he can't splash it, if it weren't for this benefactor to find him a job on the dock with more money and less work, the family's life is much more poor than now, but when he looked up and saw the peach pit, Rao often made others laugh and he smiled embarrassedly.

The sixth aunt glared at him, and the man went to the kitchen to be busy cooking, "Virtue." ”

Fan Ling since she entered the yard, she didn't recognize her life, and walked straight to the house, the location of the house was not bad, not blocked by the light of those two- or three-story attics, the house was quite transparent, the middle was separated by two layers of door panels, the front room slept with two adults, and some sundries were placed in the middle, and the back room was her maid Fluttershy's bed, a very small bed...

Compared with his own, it is estimated that he can be five or six bigger than this.

Fan Ling pours the pastry in her arms onto Fluttershy's bed, puts on her coat, and walks to the backyard.

There was a vacant lot in the backyard, and Fluttershy said that she was panicking, so she planted some flowers and plants in the backyard, and at this time of year, when the flowers bloomed, they always attracted some bees and butterflies to cauliflower nectar.

Hearing movement behind her, Fluttershy looks back and smiles, "Miss." ”

Fan Ling rolled her eyes, "There are no outsiders here, what else is it called, what is the name, how kind is the name." ”

Fluttershy shook her head, "My mom would have scolded me if she heard about it, I don't want to be scolded." ”

Fan Ling smiled, but when she saw a small purple flower on the fence, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, this morning glory grows really well, I haven't seen it for a few days, and it has bloomed." ”

Fluttershy touches the petals with her hand, "I guess it was opened last night, and it looks so good this morning." ”

Fan Ling steps forward to take a closer look, then leans on Fluttershy's ear and whispers, finally dropping a piece of silver in her hand and walking to the front yard.

Lin Duozi watched Fan Ling come out of the house and smiled at the other party, looking very silly.

Fan Ling also smiled, sat in the courtyard by herself, drank tea and counted the peaches on the tree, and waited for Fluttershy to get things done before she could go back.

Lin Duozi was idle, he took the broom he had just beaten and swept east and west in the yard, and finally lay on the kitchen window he made for his daughter-in-law, and happily watched his daughter-in-law cook, in fact, he wanted to go in to help, but the kitchen was too small to accommodate one person.

The sound of boiling oil and water clattering can be heard in the kitchen, accompanied by the smell of garlic and ginger, "Fan Ling, why don't you eat here in the evening, and let Fluttershy go out and buy two of your favorite dishes later." ”

Fan Ling took a sip of cold white and didn't get up, "No need, Auntie, I'll have to go back later, Fluttershy, she's out, I'll ask her to help me do something." ”

Lin Duozi leaned on the window, looking at the vegetables that were constantly stir-fried in the pot, and then watched his daughter-in-law pick up the salt jar..."Daughter-in-law, can you not put so much salt..."

I only heard the sixth aunt say softly, "Get out~." ”

Lin Duozi showed an understanding smile and said, "Okay." ”

The cool white open that Fan Ling had not swallowed in his mouth suddenly squirted out.

She likes it here, she likes this family, and she falls in love with Fluttershy when she sees her little girl, so she begs her dad to come forward to find Fluttershy, and her parents make Fluttershy her maid, saying that she is a maid, but she is no different from her sister, and she works together, knowing that Fluttershy's family is not rich, so she simply lets Fluttershy sleep with her at night, so that she can still have a companion when she reads.

But just then, a cry from outside the house breaks the momentary warmth, and Fluttershy pushes the door and walks in, her clothes looking pulled apart, and a cut in her knees, and blood running down her calves.

Fan Ling said with a gloomy face, "Who did it." ”

Fluttershy crouched on the ground and covered her face and cried, "The second-rate son in the city, Xu Mao, he said that my money was stolen, and I said that Miss gave it to me, but he didn't believe it, so he said that I stole it, and searched me." ”

Grandpa Xu Mao was still a family when he was alive, and his ancestors had been officials in the imperial court, but when he was in his grandfather's generation, he was addicted to gambling, and even more so when he arrived at his father, the situation of the family was not as good as a year, his mother went early, and his father was good at gambling, and even when he was very young, he let him go out to beg for money for his father to gamble.

Year after year, he has become a second-rate son in the town, everyone sneers when he sees it, one day after his father accidentally fell off the cliff, he became an orphan, since he was a child, he has been rampant since he was a child, but he also knows who can afford to provoke, who can not be provoked, the children of the poor family he will step on his life, the children of the rich family he will lick his life, it is really difficult to serve and hide, in short, the soft is afraid of the hard is very.

At this time, Xu Mao is eating in the tube with the money he stole from Fluttershy.

Today, there is a newcomer in his small group, and as the captain, he must express that he will show some "talent", so that he can lead the small team to become stronger.

At the wine table, Xu Mao sandwiched a chicken leg for the newcomer, and his mouth kept bala and bara. My ancestors, someone has been a big official in the imperial court, don't look at me now I am down, think back then, no one in this area dared to break hands with my family, but when it came to my grandfather's hands, he was obsessed with gambling and women, and lost all the gold and silver mountains in the family, since then, some people called him a second-rate son, to my father, even more so, the family is a mess, did not leave a son to Lao Tzu, living in this dog's world, I also became a second-rate son, no way, ancestral. ”
