Lin Jianlan knew what she meant, and said with a red face: "Sister Man laughed at me, I knew I wouldn't give you an idea." ”

The two of them were fighting, and the heavy and embarrassing atmosphere just now finally eased up, Lu Man was tired of playing, and he took a breath and said softly: "Does my brother still blame me?"

Lin Jianlan was stunned, threw the stone in his hand forward, and said softly: "I can't hide anything from Sister Man, I heard Miss Wan's words in the dungeon, and I was indeed a little disappointed in my heart. Later, Miss Wan explained to me, and I realized that Sister Man was a protector of me, alas, I remembered that along the way, Sister Man did not hesitate to turn against Brother Bai, and also spoke for my younger brother, but she secretly thought about it, and secretly complained and blamed you in her heart, I really shouldn't be, I can't wait to slap myself a few times. After that, he raised his head and looked at Lu Man and said, "I just hope that Sister Man won't blame me." ”

Lu Man smiled and said, "How can I blame you." He casually pulled the blade of grass and played with it at hand, smiled for a while, looked back at Lin Jianlan and said, "It's good to say so." ”

But he heard the neighing of horses not far away, looked up, and saw that Bai Zongping had already led the three horses back to this hillside, his face was still gloomy, Lin Jianlan hurriedly stood up and ran up and said, "Thank you, Brother Bai." After saying that, he took a rein in his hand, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Man dusting the dirt on his body, brushing his hair, and walking over with a curling voice.

Lin Jianlan realized at this time that it was time for the three of them to separate, and couldn't help but look at Lu Man, but seeing that Lu Man's eyes were also looking at him, Ying Ying said with a smile: "Brother, this is the separation, there are many problems for my brother along the way, if there is a goodbye day, I will make amends." ”

Lin Jianlan only felt that his nose was slightly sour, and said: "Sister Man, Brother Bai, you and I have shared weal and fall all the way, what else are you talking about, who will affect whom? We will definitely have a fate to reunite in the future, take care!"

Lu Man nodded, Fang took the reins in Lin Jianlan's hand, Bai Zongping carefully helped her to get on the horse, and he gave his hand to Lin Jianlan and turned over.

The two urged their mounts, and the two horses neighed a few times, and then galloped south, until they could no longer see Lu Man's green clothes, and Lin Jianlan retracted his gaze.

At this time, the four fields were silent, and the twilight was getting thicker, Lin Jianlan looked at the city of Jinzhou, and remembered that the books left by his father were left in the car of the inn that day, and he was afraid that he would never be able to find them back, and the long sword that Lin Longqing handed over to him also fell in the Jinzhou Hall and could not be retrieved.

In this way, the horses walked northeast along the official road for several days, but there were few pedestrians on the road, but in the vast fields next to it, there were farmers working from time to time. At this time, it was the harvest season, Lin Jianlan took a deep breath, seemed to smell the fragrance of rice in his hometown, and urged the horse forward even more, but saw that there was a crowd of people not far in front of him, and there was a noisy and noisy sound.

Lin Jianlan reined in his horse and slowly leaned over, only to see a group of officers and soldiers beating up a few croppers in the field next to the official road, and one of the officers and soldiers seemed to be the leader of the field and shouted: "This is Uncle Cai's fancy field, do you dare not give it? How many heads have you grown? Brother, detain all these troublemakers!"

A peasant woman cried and hugged the trouser leg of the officer and soldier and said, "Everyone, you are doing well, seeing that a large number of people in the family are pointing to this little field to live, you can spare us!"

But the leader of the officers and soldiers kicked away impatiently and said: "Don't be entangled, make Lao Tzu impatient, your family will not survive!"

A man next to her covered her and said, "The official is doing well, even if we harvest this crop, or we won't be busy this year?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers just kept waving the long whip in his hand and said, "Who cares if you are busy in vain or not?" We can't afford to delay, saying that we want it today, but we want it today, these people are really difficult, and they all lock me up!"

The servants next to him immediately pounced with hinges like wolves, Lin Jianlan grew up in the countryside, he knew the suffering of the peasants best, and he was angry when he saw it early, and he got off the horse and separated from the crowd of onlookers and said: "Didn't your robber behavior cut off their family's way of life?"

Those officers and soldiers seemed to be accustomed to acting here, but they didn't expect that there would be people who dared to come out to oppose it, and the leader was first shocked, seeing that it was a teenager, and then he said with a smile: "I advise Your Excellency to take care of it and not to get into trouble!

Lin Jianlan said angrily: "If you rob the people's land in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"

When all the officers and soldiers heard him say this, they all laughed, and the leader said: "If you can't figure out anything, you dare to come out and stir up this troubled water?" Tell you, none of the officials in this realm did not follow the path of our Cai Ye, which of them dared to offend our Cai Ye? Go your way, I am in a good mood today, grandpa this day, I am in a good mood, seeing that you are weak and weak, I will not trouble you!"

Lin Jianlan couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "It turns out that you are all slaves who fight for tigers, and scum who fight for people!"

The face of the leader of the officers and soldiers changed, and he said angrily: "Yo ho, scolding grandpa? It seems that if you don't give you a little bit of power, you don't know grandpa's ability, give it to me!" After saying that, a bunch of officials rushed over, Lin Jianlan dodged to dodge, but saw that the leader took out the Pu knife on his waist and slashed at himself, and said in his heart: "I just said a fair word, they can kill this person, how can they take the lives of ordinary people to heart on weekdays? Isn't it arbitrary trampling?" Determined to teach these officers and soldiers a lesson, he pushed the knife away and punched it, only to hear a bang, which hit the chest of the leader of the officers and soldiers, but saw him roll on the ground a few times, but he didn't move. The other officers and soldiers boldly probed their noses and stammered, "Big brother, he ...... I don't think I'm out of gas......"

Lin Jianlan was also stunned for a while, he looked down at his fist, he didn't know that he had come all the way, because he had practiced the Fa diligently, and his internal strength had made great progress, these officers and soldiers were pampered on weekdays, and there was almost no training, how could he resist his punch.

All the officers and soldiers said: "Don't run if you have a kind, you wait!" After that, he dragged the corpse of the leader and turned out to be scattered.

Lin Jianlan looked at the group of officers and soldiers and muttered, "It's so useless, everyone, they probably don't dare to come again, you continue to harvest." ”

The peasants grabbed Lin Jianlan and said in unison: "Don't let him go, big guy, those officers and soldiers are coming back and want to trouble us!" and turned to Lin Jianlan and said, "You...... If you go, we'll all be arrested and put in jail to pay for your life!"

Lin Jianlan originally didn't intend to kill the officer and soldier, but seeing that if he left at this moment, he was afraid that his good intentions would cut off the lives of these people, so he couldn't think of an idea for a while.

At this time, one of the peasants said loudly: "Anyway, I can't live here, and the land can't be saved, so let's discuss and join the Taihu Righteous Army!"

Everyone said: "Yes, I'm waiting for death here, it's better to go to Taihu Lake and him!"

The leading man said: "Yes, Yuan Xianggong told me that if he can't survive, he will join the Taihu Righteous Army, and his friends will take care of us there." ”

The others envied: "You are really blessed, you can actually see Yuan Xianggong! That's it, everyone go home and pack up, pick up some important things and take their wives and children to Taihu Lake together!" After speaking, everyone cheered and dispersed.

Lin Jianlan saw that everyone dispersed, still got on the horse, and walked slowly, but the more he walked, the more barren he became, the fields should be full of grain, but most of them were not harvested, and they withered on the ground, and occasionally saw pedestrians, most of them were also ragged, and their faces were thin, remembering what Lin Longqing taught him that day: "Looking at the past dynasties, the common people were forced to live by harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes before they rose up, otherwise who would want to charge into battle and be displaced?"

Seeing that this is still thousands of miles away from Taihu Lake, these farmers would rather leave their hometowns, it is really harsh and fierce, the people of the world are like in fire and water, but the Eastern Capital Imperial Kou Si still has to offer what kind of holy products to the emperor, thinking of this, Lin Jianlan suddenly remembered that Lin Longqing mentioned to him that day that his biological father insisted on seeking fame, I am afraid that he also wants to do something great for the country and the people, but life and death are uncertain, I don't know where now.

He remembered in his heart that everyone had mentioned the Taihu Lake Yuan Xianggong just now, and said secretly: "It must be the one that Brother Yue mentioned to me when he was in the main hall that day, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely meet him, but I don't know what the overall situation of the Kuangyi Gang is now, there is still some time before the Taihu Lake Festival set that day, and seeing that the Taihu Lake is getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that they will vigorously fight against the imperial court, alas, it is not a good thing that the world is falling into killing after all." ”

Walking in the northeast direction for some time with such a heavy mind, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the pedestrians on the road have gradually taken on the accent outside the pass, looking at the gate that is getting closer and closer, Lin Jianlan looked back, and saw that the road was no longer traceable, so he pinched the horse's belly and galloped away outside the pass.

Although he has been separated for several years, it seems that he is still the same as that day, Lin Jianlan did not take much time to come to Liaodong, but he was timid about his hometown, and he did not dare to gallop on his horse, but only walked slowly with his horse, and the scenery that he was very familiar with when he was young gradually appeared in front of him. The trees withered, the north wind suddenly rose, sweeping up the dust and residual leaves on the ground, Lin Jianlan walked forward along the village road, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that in the alienated village, there was a person far away, who looked like a playmate in the past, got off the horse and rushed forward, saw the face of the person clearly, couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, patted the man on the shoulder and said: "Agui!"

The man was startled, turned around, and saw that it was a young man, with handsome eyebrows, a smile on his face, a bookish air, a familiar face, and he was speechless.

When Lin Jianlan saw him, he hugged him and said with a smile: "Agui, I'm Lan'er! Do you remember me?"

Ah Guifang suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be you! Look at your dress, you are not like us......! I thought you weren't coming back!" I was already crying. But I heard a woman in the house in the courtyard next to her walk out quickly, her face was yellow, and she had a cloth belt tied around her head, and looked Lin Jianlan up and down through the fence for a while, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Agui! Agui! Where is the death? The child is crying, hurry up and coax!"

Lin Jianlan hurriedly said: "Agui, my grandmother ......."

Agui looked embarrassed, and said hurriedly: "This is my mother-in-law, I have to go in to coax the child, come over and talk about it when I have time!"

Lin Jianlan was about to ask him about his grandmother's condition, seeing that he was really busy, he looked at the empty courtyard for a while, Fang led the horse, and walked forward sullenly, but there was a trace of melancholy in his heart, and said secretly: "I didn't expect that Agui has also become a parent, and has a child, alas, he is already an adult." I also remembered that just now Agui and his wife were dressed very shabby, with vegetables on their faces, and they seemed to be very poor.

Although the horse walked slowly, it was also getting closer and closer to the small courtyard where it grows, and from a distance, the two wooden doors were unlocked, opening and closing in the wind. Lin Jianlan walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, looked inside, and saw that the leaves of the big pear tree in the courtyard had all withered and spread on the ground, and a few pears were hanging on the branches and crumbling.

Lin Jianlan hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, the leaves squeaked under his feet, obviously no one had cleaned it for a long time, a thick layer had been paved, the door was tightly covered, he slowly walked forward again, but his hands were already a little trembling, pushed open the door, and suddenly there was a burst of dust, the two stoves in front of him were cleaned up, and a stack of coarse porcelain dishes was placed very neatly, just covered with a thin layer of ash, obviously uninhabited for some time, I couldn't help but feel a little beating in my heart, my legs were also a little weak, and I could barely stand.

He slowly squatted down, slowly twisted the fine dust with his hands, and after a while, Fang stood up, walked to the back room and looked around, it was not messy, everything was neatly stacked, but the ash on the bookshelf was accumulating more and more.

He took up the bucket and went to the courtyard to fetch a bucket of water, remembering that when he was a child, he could only hold a small basin and slowly scoop water out of his grandmother's full bucket, but now it was effortless, and when he entered the house, he took a broom and rag, and cleaned and wiped it everywhere in the order of his childhood.

Looking out, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Lin Jianlan stepped out of the house, raised his eyes to see that the sky was cloudy, and the cold wind was getting colder and colder, and suddenly felt a little cold on his cheeks, but a few snowflakes fell sporadically. Lin Jianlan raised his hand slightly, and saw that the snowflakes had not yet fallen into the palm of his hand, and they melted without a trace, and two lines of tears finally slipped down from his eyes.
