Chapter 171: Wolong and his phoenix chick

Mei Yun was tied up by Wuhua Da and thrown into the mountain col.

He wanted to call for help, but his mouth was blocked.

Not to mention making a sound, the slightest movement of my throat would make me feel sick.

Mei Yun had no choice but to wait and see what Lin Xuezhu wanted to do.

After waiting for a while, he saw Lin Xuezhu supporting Yuan Xiu and slowly coming this way.

Mei Yun immediately struggled hard.

Her face turned red from holding it in too hard, and there were bloodshot eyes.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu stood still in front of her.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Don't waste your efforts. Your sister is already dead. Could it be that you also want to die in vain?"

This sentence directly hit the pain point in Mei Yun's heart.

Of course she didn't want to die. She came here just to complete her mission and go back to live a good life.

Mei Yun calmed down a little.

Lin Xuezhu pointed to a big stone next to her and said to Yuan Xiu, "Husband, go sit over there."

"Okay." Yuan Xiu followed his words and sat down by the stone.

Lin Xuezhu winked at Lu Mo.

Lu Mo pulled out the rag from Mei Yun's mouth.

Fresh air rushed into Mei Yun's mouth instantly, and she took a few deep breaths.

Lin Xuezhu didn't wait for her to calm down, then asked: "Tell me, who sent you here? King Yan? King Qing? Marquis Feng Ping? Or... the Queen?"

She reported one person in a leisurely manner. A name.

And observed that when she talked about Prince Qing, Mei Yun's face changed obviously.

Lin Xuezhu turned around and looked at Yuan Xiu.

Each understands the other tacitly.

Mei Yun pretended to be innocent and said, "What do these people you mentioned have to do with me? How can I, an ordinary citizen, know so many important people?"

Lin Xuezhu knew that she would not admit it easily and was not in a hurry.

He just said: "Is it Prince Qing? What is his purpose in sending you here?"

Mei Yun's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, she missed Mei Shuang extremely.

If Mei Shuang was still here, he should be able to think of excuses to excuse himself,

or at least share some of the pressure for her.

But now that Mei Shuang is dead, she can only bear all this by herself.

She was scared, helpless, and terrified.

What should she do?

Mei Yun couldn't think of a countermeasure, so she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.

Lin Xuezhu waved his hand to Lu Mo and said softly: "Stop her mouth, don't let her make a sound, torture her."

"Yes!" Lu Mo responded, holding the rag tightly, and was about to stuff it into Mei Yun's mouth.

Mei Yun was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, and she repeated meaninglessly, "What are you going to do? What are you going to do to me?"

Lin Xuezhu asked slowly: "Lu Mo, what kind of criminal laws do you have in the army? Huh?"

Lu Mo blocked Mei Yun's mouth and replied: "There are no tricks in the army. If you violate military regulations, you will be served with a military stick, and if you are serious, you will be beheaded." "Really

?" Lin Xuezhu asked, But his expression was not one of surprise.

After a pause, he continued: "I think there is a very interesting torture method in Dali Temple. It is to wet the paper with water and stick it on the prisoner's face. If the prisoner refuses to confess, he will stick it up layer by layer. At first, The prisoner can still barely breathe. As the paper becomes thicker and thicker, the prisoner's breathing will become more and more difficult, until finally he suffocates to death. "

Every time she said a word, Mei Yun's breathing would become faster, as if her face was already dead. It's like it's been labeled with paper.

When Lin Xuezhu finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly react and shook her head like crazy.

At the same time, she pushed the rag in her mouth hard with her tongue, trying to spit it out.

She wants to speak, she wants to confess, as long as she lives, she can do anything.

Lin Xuezhu turned a blind eye to her reaction, and only said to Lu Mo: "We have paper at home, go get a basin of water."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Mei Yun struggled harder.

Finally, after struggling desperately, the rag in her mouth was spit out.

She hunched over, lowered her head, and retched in her mouth.

"Oh, she is actually playing tricks on us." Lin Xuezhu said in surprise: "Lu Mo, doesn't she take us seriously?"

"I was wrong. I was wrong." Mei Yunqian Before the nauseating feeling dissipated, I couldn't wait to admit my mistake.

She vomited a few more times, then hurriedly said, "I'll tell you whatever you want to ask, but don't kill me."

"Then you say it." Lin Xuezhu's face turned cold.

Mei Yun swallowed her saliva and spoke faster, "Prince Qing asked my sister and I to come here. He said that our sisters look similar to Mr. Yuan's mother. With this, we can get close to Mr. Yuan."

She said . Just after saying this, she suddenly realized that Yuan Xiu's face instantly darkened, scaring her into silence immediately.

At this time, Yuan Xiu's fist became hard.

His poor mother, who had neither scheming nor a strong family to rely on, wasn't tortured enough by the cannibalistic place in the harem?

Even though everyone is dead, there are still people who want to use her to do these dirty and shameful things!

Lin Xuezhu noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and turned to look at Yuan Xiu.

Seeing his dark eyes, you knew he must be feeling very unhappy at the moment.

Lin Xuezhu was also in a bad mood.

She finally managed to pull Yuan Xiu back from the edge of blackening.

He didn't turn into a murderous villain.

But there are people who insist on forcing Yuan Xiu to go dark, as if he doesn't care about his longevity.

What benefit does driving the male protagonist crazy do them?

Do you know that in the future they will all have to deliver food to the male protagonist?

Really ignorant!

Lin Xuezhu was upset, and looked at Mei Yun even more unhappy.

Her face darkened and she asked coldly, "Why don't you say anything anymore?"

Mei Yun's whole body trembled.

She was shocked to find that although Yuan Xiu would take action if he disagreed, it was quite scary.

But if Lin Xuezhu were serious, she would not be much more approachable than her husband.

"I said, I will say it right now." Mei Yun continued: "Prince Qing told me and my sister that Mr. Yuan stole something very important from him, and we must find out the whereabouts of the things. As long as we do this well He will marry us as side wives, and his status in the family will only be lower than that of the head mother. After giving birth to a son, he can also let our memorial tablet be entered into the ancestral temple."

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this. Eye roll.

Can she understand the promise of glory and wealth to a living person, but can it also be used to draw cakes when entering the ancestral temple after death?

You can only enter the ancestral temple after giving birth to a son, hahaha.

You can't draw anything substantive even when painting a cake.

"Then how are you going to get something out of my husband?" Lin Xuezhu was more interested in the two sisters' plans than in the cakes painted by King Qing.

In her opinion, the two sisters are really a crouching dragon and a phoenix chick.

The way they pretended to be kidnapped by bandits and sent to the exile team was the highlight of their entire operation.

Afterwards, their performance was indeed lackluster.

If Prince Qing were around, he would probably be pissed off by them.

Chapter 172 There are only zero and countless betrayals

. Mei Yun couldn't help but murmur in her heart when she heard Lin Xuezhu asking them about the sisters' plans.

How should I say this?

If she doesn't say it well, will her crime be increased and she will be tortured directly?

Mei Yun felt that she couldn't control the situation well, so she subconsciously closed her mouth.

However, when she met Lin Xuezhu's eyes, she felt that shutting up was not a good idea.

"In fact, there is no good way." Mei Yun glanced at Lin Xuezhu and said cautiously: "Prince Qing told us that the relationship between Mr. Yuan and his wife is not good. With the beauty of my two sisters, as long as I can make Mr. Yuan surrender, , just talk slowly. What's more, Mr. Yuan has an injury on his leg, so he won't do everything personally. There must be someone working for him outside, so as long as we can stay with Mr. Yuan, it's impossible for them to stay in touch. There will definitely be some clues."

"What's the result?" Lin Xuezhu asked with interest.

Speaking of this, Mei Yun was full of resentment.

"As a result, we found that the truth was not what Prince Qing said. Mr. Yuan and his wife had a very good relationship, and there was no chance for outsiders to get involved. My sister and I wanted to sow discord between you, so we listened to Miss Lin. You said you had an affair with Mr. Zhou. At that time, we all thought Mr. Yuan believed it, but the truth seems not to be what we thought..."

Before Mei Yun could finish her words, she saw Lin Xuezhu's expression change.

Lin Xuezhu asked: "Lin Xuelan said that Zhou Shenyi and I had an affair?"

Mei Yun nodded vigorously.

That's right, that's what Lin Xuelan said and has nothing to do with the sisters.

Lin Xuezhu laughed.

What kind of plot is this about a thief shouting to catch a thief?

Is Lin Xuelan crazy?

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and felt something was wrong.

He turned to look at Yuan Xiu and said, "Are these two guys going to provoke you?"

Yuan Xiu nodded calmly.

The more Lin Xuezhu thought about it, the angrier she became.

Fortunately, she felt that she had eyes and ears in all directions, so nothing could be hidden from her.

It turns out that as long as others are willing, they can still find opportunities to poach her.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Lin Xuezhu asked Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu said calmly: "Why should Madam's ears be dirty with such filthy words? If it's not true, why take it seriously?"

Lin Xuezhu was speechless.

He didn't take it seriously, but he didn't ask her if she wanted to spread scandals with paper people like Zhou Shenyi!

Thinking of the pair of white eyes on Zhou Shenyi's pale face, she felt really disgusted.

"Then what?" She yelled at Mei Yun angrily.

Mei Yun was so frightened that she trembled all over and stammered for a long time before she said: "Sister, seeing that the provocation is unsuccessful, I plan to get rid of you and then approach Mr. Yuan."

At this point, she stared at Lin Xuezhu fearfully, wanting to see What is the reaction of the other party?

But Lin Xuezhu was very calm, much calmer than when he heard that he had an affair with Zhou Shenyi just now.

Mei Yun felt strange, but did not dare to say anything more.

She could only continue to say cautiously: "Sister, I originally planned to kill you quietly when you went out to look for food. But for several days, I didn't find a suitable opportunity to take action. Last night, people from King Qing contacted us. Listen to that His tone seemed like something had happened to Prince Qing again. Prince Qing was furious and urged us to move faster, so..."

"So you two sisters were so desperate that you found the mountain road dangerous and planned to attack me in public?" Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but laugh.

These are no qualities, they are simply not good at anything.

Mei Yun had no choice but to admit: "If we can't complete Prince Qing's mission, both of us sisters will die. Prince Qing said, give us another five days, and if we still can't find out anything, we will be sent to the Flower House." , Thousands of people are riding on it, and tens of thousands of people are riding on it."

Hearing this, Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and understood.

King Qing wanted to track down the whereabouts of the treasury and made an appointment with Xie Yunkai to meet in Fengyang City.

But before they could meet, Chunfenglou was picked up.

Therefore, King Qing became even more angry and immediately sent a message to the Mei sisters to ask them to speed up the progress.

Seeing that time was running out, the Mei sisters could only take chances and take risks.

Haha, it seems that King Qing is really angry.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a moment and then said to Mei Yun: "What you just told me is basically within my expectations. If you want to survive, you have to tell me something I don't know. Otherwise, what will happen to Mei Shuang? You just have to tell me something that I don't know." It will be a hundred times more miserable than her."

In fact, there was no need for her to threaten her, Mei Yun was already frightened at this moment.

Lin Xuezhu was not in a hurry, silently walked to Yuan Xiu's side and sat down on the big rock.

It took Mei Yun a while to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her head.

She said, "If I tell you all the details about Prince Qing, can you guarantee my safety?"

Lin Xuezhu smiled and asked, "How do you want me to guarantee your safety?"

Mei Yun was speechless. right.

It is true that no matter how capable Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu are, they are just two exiled prisoners.

It's not easy to protect yourself, but how can you protect others?

Prince Qing, on the other hand, has eyes all over the world.

Whoever he wants to catch will be doomed.

When Mei Yun thought of this, she immediately regretted it.

She shouldn't have betrayed Prince Qing, and now she is dead.

Lin Xuezhu waited for her to finish her ideological struggle before speaking slowly, "You have already said a lot, and even if you regret it now, it is too late. Prince Qing will not treat you as before just because you have said a few less words. So, I advise you to tell everything you know. After all, we don't have to kill you. As long as we don't expose you, Prince Qing won't know that you betrayed him."

Mei Yun thought about it and realized that it was true . reason.

Hiding the truth seems to be the only way for her to survive.

"Are you really not going to tell Prince Qing?" Mei Yun asked worriedly.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the sky and asked, "Do you think you still have room for bargaining?"

After hearing this, Mei Yun felt desperate.

Sure enough, there are only zero and countless betrayals.

In her current condition, if she didn't tell her, she would die immediately.

Having said that, you might be lucky enough to survive.

At least, I can live for a few more days.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "My sister overheard this incident inadvertently. My sister said, don't let King Qing know that we heard this. Otherwise, King Qing will definitely kill him." Let's go."

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but become interested when she heard what she said.

But she was in no hurry to ask.

At this critical moment, Mei Yun's psychology is at its most vulnerable.

If she pushes too hard, it might be counterproductive.

So, she glanced at Mei Yun lightly.

She looked like she wanted to see what this man could say.

Mei Yun felt a little nervous when she saw that she didn't take it seriously.

What if what I say is not enough to impress them and cannot save my life?

Thinking like this, Mei Yun became even more anxious.

She said hurriedly: "Marquis Feng Ping discovered a gold mine on the land of Princess Hengyu. He did not report it to the court, but planned to mine it privately. King Qing also knew about it."

Chapter 173: What does your life and death have to do with me?

Lin Xuezhu's eyes lit up after hearing Mei Yun's words.

Isn't this the hidden plot?

When she was reading before, she only knew that Prince Qing colluded with the Zhou family and made a lot of ill-gotten gains from the Zhou family's property.

I never expected that this guy was so bold that he dared to secretly mine gold with Marquis Feng Ping!

You know, no matter from ancient times to the present, things like gold mines belong to the state.

If private individuals want to mine, their lives will be too long.

After Mei Yun finished telling the news, she stared at Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu uneasily.

She wanted to know very much at this moment, was this news valuable, and would it be enough to save her life?

"What else do you know?" Lin Xuezhu met Mei Yun's gaze and felt that he could still deceive her.

Mei Yun thought for a long time and then talked about some trivial things.

Lin Xuezhu could see that she was just the most insignificant pawn under Prince Qing.

If she didn't have a similar appearance to Yuan Xiu's mother-concubine, her existence would be meaningless.

She knew very little about Prince Qing's shady things.

If Mei Shuang is still alive, maybe more things can be unearthed.

And this Mei Yun is obviously a fool.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other, and each saw the same conclusion from the other's expression.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and asked, "The people sent by Prince Qing to contact you will arrive in five days, right?"

"According to what he told me last time, that should be the case," Mei Yun replied.

"Okay, when he comes, you tell him that you have successfully approached my husband and are trying to find a way to talk to him," Lin Xuezhu said.

Mei Yun understood that this was her life-saving magic weapon.

However, given King Qing's impatience, this may not satisfy him.

Mei Yun asked worriedly: "If he asks me if Mr. Yuan is colluding with anyone, how will I answer?" "

Just tell him the truth. My wife and I quietly left the team and went to Fengyang City before. Yuan Xiu said.

Mei Yun's eyes widened.

With her brain, she couldn't figure out why Yuan Xiu wanted her to say that.

With that confused look, he was definitely a fool.

Seeing that she was not thinking very well, Yuan Xiu added: "If that person asks you why I want to go to Fengyang City, just tell him that I seem to be going to see someone. Who is it specifically? I didn't find out."

Mei Yun thought about it and felt that this was the right thing to say.

It not only gave Prince Qing some clues, calmed his emotions, but also bought himself more time.

Lin Xuezhu laughed secretly.

Yuan Xiu's mind was spinning very quickly. When this kind of ambiguous information reached Prince Qing's ears, it was inevitable that he would not be able to think about it.

When she and Yuan Xiu went to Fengyang City before, they learned that Xie Yun would arrive the next day for a meeting.

The day for King Qing to meet Xie Yunkai would have to wait for another three days.

Of course, Xie Yunkai left these three days for his own pleasure.

And Yuan Xiu took advantage of this time difference to ask Mei Yun to send a message to King Qing, which would easily make King Qing suspect that Xie Yunkai went to Fengyang City in advance to meet Yuan Xiu.

Although, the cooperative relationship between Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping will not be shaken in a short time.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is only a matter of time before they take root and sprout.

Yuan Xiu's deployment focuses on attacking the heart.

Attack the suspicious heart of King Qing.

Lin Xuezhu looked solemn and said to Mei Yun: "As long as you stay safe and follow the exile team, we can ensure your safety. But if you want to play tricks, I advise you to first think about what will happen to Mei Shuang.

" Words are a clear threat.

Although Mei Yun is a fool, she still knows how to weigh the pros and cons when it comes to her own life and death.

After listening to Lin Xuezhu's words, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been granted amnesty, nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at Lu Mo and said, "Push her quietly back into the exile team."

Lu Mo understood and stretched out his hand. He picked up the rope that tied Mei Yun and ran quickly to where his carriage was.

When he arrived near the carriage, he saw Yan Da and the three Hu brothers working around the carriage.

Both outwardly and in reality, they are really working.

But at the same time, they were also vigilant about the surrounding situation to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the col.

"Have you finished asking?" Seeing Lu Mo come back, Yan Da asked in a normal tone, as if he was greeting Lu Mo.

Lu Mo nodded and whispered, "Thank you."

He used the cover of the carriage to untie Mei Yun.

"When you meet someone, do you know what to say?" Lu Mo asked Mei Yun.

Mei Yun's mind was spinning slowly and she still didn't understand what he meant.

Lu Mo lowered his tone and said with a hint of warning: "If anyone asks, just say that Mrs. Lin was afraid that you would cause trouble because of your inability to think, so she tied you up in a carriage and brought you here."

Only then did Mei Yun react, and she agreed again and again. , "I understand."

Anyway, she couldn't figure out the purpose of Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu, and she didn't want to bother with that.

She would say whatever they asked her to say.

Mei Yun moved her numb limbs and went to find Lin Xuelan and Zhou Shenyi.

When the two of them saw her, their expressions changed.

Lin Xuelan took the lead in showing off her virginity and asked with concern: "Mei Yun, are you okay?"

Mei Yun shook her head and did not dare to say anything more.

Zhou Shenyi looked Mei Yun up and down and said mockingly: "You two sisters are really brave. I brought more than a dozen thugs, but I couldn't kill that girl. How can you two want to kill her? "

After hearing this, Mei Yun suddenly felt that she had missed very important information, and hurriedly asked: "What thug, when did it happen?"

Lin Xuelan then told her what happened.

After hearing this, Mei Yun felt regretful.

If she had known that Lin Xuezhu was so difficult to deal with, she and her sister would not have acted rashly.

Thinking of this, when she looked at Zhou Shenyi again, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Since Mr. Zhou has had such an experience, why didn't he inform my two sisters in advance? If Mr. Zhou would have said a few more words, my sister would not have died."

It was difficult for her two sisters to weave baskets every day and provide food for them. This extremely ugly dog ​​man ended up like this when he was eating!

Zhou Shenyi's face was gloomy, he rolled his eyes and asked, "What does the life and death of your sisters have to do with me?"

"You!" Mei Yun turned red with anger.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be quarreling, Lin Xuelan quickly mediate in the middle.

She said: "Mei Yun, don't get excited. You two sisters have not discussed your plans with me and Mr. Zhou in advance. We have no idea what you are going to do, so how can we think of reminding you?"

After saying that, she turned to Zhou again. Shen Yi said: "Master Zhou, we are weak. One more person can give us more strength. Please stop saying that other people's life and death has nothing to do with you. This is such a chilling thing."

Chapter 174

Lin Xuelan, who was not something he, a small official, could afford to offend, did not satisfy Zhou Shenyi and Mei Yun.

Zhou Shenyi glared at her and said, "How dare you be my master now that you are so brave?"

After being yelled at by him, Lin Xuelan and Mei Yun both dared not say a word.

Although Zhou Shenyi was dissatisfied with Lin Xuelan's talkativeness, he remembered that after Mei Shuang's death, there was one less person weaving baskets.

That means he has to eat two less buns every day.

So, he said: "From today on, the two of you will weave fifteen baskets each day. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish weaving!"

"What?" Mei Yun exclaimed.

She would weave ten baskets every day until midnight.

Fifteen, doesn't she even have time to sleep?

"Mr. Zhou, you have to have a limit when you force others to do something difficult. You really drove Miss Lin and I to death, can you live alone?" Mei Yun said angrily.

Zhou Shenyi glanced at her coldly and asked disdainfully: "Don't you live day by day and still think about such long-term things?"

Mei Yun was speechless.

She suddenly remembered that she had money on her.

It was inconvenient to take it out before because I was afraid of exposing my identity.

But it's different now.

Her identity has been exposed, there is no need to continue pretending.

Then, she suddenly felt confident.

"Mr. Zhou, from today on, I will no longer go with you and Miss Lin." Mei Yun said.

Lin Xuelan and Zhou Shenyi were both surprised.

Especially Lin Xuelan, without a sister in need, she was afraid that her life would be even more difficult.

Mei Shuang died, and she and Mei Yun had to weave fifteen baskets every day.

If Mei Yun was gone, wouldn't she have to weave thirty baskets a day?

Anyway, Zhou Shenyi would not pity her.

This bitch wanted to squeeze her to death in order to feed himself.

So, Lin Xuelan quickly tried to dissuade her: "Sister Mei Yun, you have to think twice. Now that your sister is gone and others don't accept you, anything can happen on the road of exile. After all, you can't do it alone. "

After hearing this, Mei Yun just wanted to sneer.

If you can't do it alone, why don't you find someone to enslave you?

She weaves ten baskets a day, but can only eat one steamed bun when eating.

It was better for her to weave her own basket and exchange steamed buns with Lin Xuezhu, so that she could eat at least two.

However, she didn't want to say anything to avoid angering Zhou Shenyi.

So he said: "My sister is dead, and I am the only one left. What is there to be afraid of? The favors my sister and I owed you two have been repaid by weaving baskets these days. If there is a chance in the future, I will reminisce with you two. Let's go."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Lin Xuelan to continue to persuade her, turned around, changed places, and sat down alone.

Zhou Shenyi stared at her with a sinister look and said to Lin Xuelan: "Have you finished weaving today's basket?"

When Lin Xuelan heard this, she couldn't help but tremble all over, it was like a nightmare.

"Come on, come on." She quickly picked up the cane and knitted it as quickly as possible.

Mei Yun also pretended to weave five baskets, and then went to Lin Xuezhu to exchange them for a steamed bun.

After eating the steamed buns, she found a big tree, leaned against it and closed her eyes.

She didn't dare to really fall asleep, so she just closed her eyes and rested her mind.

After Zhou Shenyi and Lin Xuelan both fell asleep, she quietly got up and went to the official to buy some food.

After she left, Liu Kui asked the official who received her, "Why is she here?"

"Buying food." The official replied truthfully.

"Where did she get the money?" Liu Kui was puzzled.

The official was confused and said, "She didn't say anything, but she gave her five coins and said she would keep them and eat them every day."

Liu Kui frowned slightly, vaguely aware of something.

No wonder Mrs. Lin doubted their identities as soon as the two sisters appeared.

Now it seems that this suspicion is indeed justified.

Two girls from the village were robbed by horse bandits. Will they have any money on them?

According to common sense, it should not be possible.

To take a step back, even if their family is rich and even their daughter carries money with her, are the horse bandits robbing people without searching them?

This possibility is very small.

Taking a step back, even if the horse bandits really forgot to search them, why didn't they take out the money before, but pretended that they couldn't survive and had to integrate into the exile team?

No matter how you think about it, these two sisters are acting strangely.

Combined with the previous clues, Liu Kui could almost conclude that the two sisters had ulterior motives.

But what can they do to exile the prisoner?

Liu Kui thought of Yuan Xiu almost immediately.

In the entire team, Yuan Xiu is the only one who can make people achieve something.

In this case, he might as well pretend not to know.

Yuan Xiu has a sensitive identity and cruel methods. No matter how you look at it, he is not something that a small official like him can afford to offend.

Liu Kui's thoughts changed a thousand times.

At this time, there was another person who was just like him.

That person is Lin Chengyao.

After the rest of the Lin family finished eating and finishing their work, they all returned to their carriages to rest.

Lin Chengyao stopped Lin Xuezhu, lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and said, "Niece, as an uncle, I almost got you into trouble today." Lin Xuezhu was a little confused and asked subconsciously: "What trouble did you

get into?"

She thought Lin Chengyao had done something great without her knowing.

As a result, Lin Chengyao just said in a low mood: "I almost told him that my niece-in-law's leg has recovered."

Lin Xuezhu suddenly realized it and laughed: "It's okay, you haven't had time to say it yet. Besides, even if you say it, If you leave it, I can find a way to get it back."

"How?" Lin Chengyao's eyes widened, unable to suppress his curiosity.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and gave an answer casually, "The worst he can do is let him fall and break his leg. Isn't it easy to find a reason to act for others?"

Lin Chengyao felt even more excited after hearing this. Feeling inferior.

The eldest niece could easily come up with a solution, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.

Is the gap between people really that big?

The Lin family, without their eldest niece, would definitely not be where they are now.

But if it weren't for him, I'm afraid it wouldn't have much impact.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengyao let out a long sigh.

Lin Xuezhu felt that her uncle was particularly sentimental today, and it seemed to be a psychological problem.

This immediately caught her attention.

After all, she has medicinal materials at home, as well as imperial tonics in her space, and even spiritual spring water.

Ordinary injuries and illnesses can be treated with these.

But psychological problems are different. If you don't provide proper guidance, small problems will turn into big problems.

Lin Xuezhu planned to solve Lin Chengyao's psychological problems once and for all today.

So, she threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire and said: "Tell me, what is it that is bothering my kind and reliable uncle?"

Chapter 175: Is the eldest niece really not a devil?

Lin Xuezhu's relaxed and humorous tone first amused Lin Chengyao.

The haze that had just been lingering in my mind seemed to have dissipated a little now.

He thought for a while and expressed what he felt that day.

Lin Xuezhu listened carefully from beginning to end, and then burst into laughter.

"Eldest niece..." Lin Chengyao scratched his head and stared at the bonfire with some shyness.

Although as an elder, I felt confused and chose to confide in the younger generation, which seemed a bit unreliable.

But he felt that juniors like his eldest niece could not be regarded as ordinary juniors.

Even those who are older than him in the exile team sometimes have to ask their eldest niece for advice.

It shouldn't be a shame for him to tell his eldest niece what's on his mind.

Lin Xuezhu found it very funny when she saw Lin Chengyao's head lowered and his face, which was in his thirties, showing a childlike innocence.

She organized her words and said gently: "Uncle, everyone is different. When we are together, we should learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. There is no need for anyone to cultivate themselves to be comprehensive. If that is the case, our team , it won't last long."

Lin Chengyao didn't understand and turned around and asked, "Isn't it good to be comprehensive?"

"Of course it's not good." Lin Xuezhu said firmly, "What maintains the relationship between people is mutual need. Everyone is good at everything and doesn't need anyone else, so there's no need to stay together."

Lin Chengyao thought about it and it seemed to be the truth.

However, one thing doesn't make sense.

"Eldest niece, you are a well-rounded person!" he said.

"Really?" Lin Xuezhu smiled again and said, "Uncle, I don't have medical skills. What should I do if someone in the family gets sick? And not only do I not have medical skills, I don't even know herbal medicine. If I didn't have uncle, , I'm going to be blinded along the way."

After hearing this, Lin Chengyao was relieved but also a little sad.

The eldest niece doesn't know herbal medicine, he can teach her.

Moreover, the eldest niece is very smart and can already recognize many herbal medicines.

But he couldn't learn from his eldest niece's tricks.

It was as if his brain was born with a missing muscle.

He thought this and said it out of his mouth.

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu almost shed tears of envy.

"Uncle, believe me, if I could live as simple as you, I really don't want to fight with people every day." She said sincerely.

Others only know that she has many ideas and many methods.

But I don't know what she went through to become what she is now.

Of course she is not born smarter than others, she just has experienced more hardships than others.

Those clever ideas were all obtained with blood and tears.

Seeing that Lin Chengyao didn't quite believe it.

Lin Xuezhu said seriously: "Uncle, you don't have to learn from anyone, you just need to live like yourself. And the existence of people like me is to enable people like you to continue to live simply and happily. This is I said, learn from each other's strengths. I'm in charge of intrigues, and you're in charge of treating illnesses and saving people. Isn't that good?"

Lin Chengyao's eyes turned red after hearing this.

Why was it that when he heard his eldest niece's words, he was moved and yet also inexplicably sad?

"Niece, won't this be too tiring for you?"

Wouldn't it be very troublesome for a teammate like him who is unsophisticated and unsophisticated?

Lin Xuezhu waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Who is not tired? Who is not living a good life before being exiled? Who is not suddenly involved in this unreasonable disaster? We support each other and support each other, just to survive."

These words , Lin Chengyao couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, an unforeseen disaster can turn an otherwise good life into a mess.

Who is not a poor person?

Seeing Lin Chengyao's low mood, Lin Xuezhu changed his tone and said in a cheerful tone: "Uncle, do you know how to make our Lin family stronger and stronger?"

Lin Chengyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "How?"

Lin Xuezhu replied, " That is, everyone gets better and better in the areas they are good at, and trusts others to make up for the areas they are not good at."

Lin Chengyao tasted this sentence carefully, and after thinking about it, he couldn't agree more.

Admittedly, it would be difficult for him to surpass Ma Ma in terms of knitted women's clothing.

Does he have to practice needlework every day in order to make up for this shortcoming?

That is certainly meaningless.

Because no matter how well he practices, there is no shortage of needleworkers like him in the family.

Instead of wasting time in areas that you are not good at, you should study medical skills and take good care of your family's health.

This is something only he can do.

This is his value in the entire team.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

The truth is so simple, but he got it wrong.

If his eldest niece hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have known how long this matter would have troubled him!

Lin Xuezhu saw that Lin Chengyao's expression changed from cloudy to clear, and he knew that his explanation had worked.

She stood up with a smile and said to Lin Chengyao: "Uncle, your medical skills are the strongest support for our family! Moreover, without your medical skills, I would not have the capital to bargain with Liu Kui to obtain so many conveniences for our family. So, "If you want to be lazy and not improve your medical skills, I will be the first to disagree."

As she said that, she dove into the carriage and pretended to be looking for something, but actually found more than a dozen medical books from the collection of books in the space.

These books were collected by her after she emptied out the study rooms of many wealthy families.

One of them has been working in Taiyuan Hospital for generations and has many medical books.

The titles of the dozen or so books she chose seemed very unfamiliar. Maybe Lin Chengyao had never read them.

She had no intention of taking out these books.

After all, it is too unkind to force others to learn while in exile.

But since Lin Chengyao was so free and had time to think about things, she had to arrange something for him.

Hehe...

Lin Xuezhu jumped out of the carriage with the medical books in her arms. When she saw Lin Chengyao walking towards him, she shoved the books into his arms without hesitation.

"Uncle, these books were bought specially for you when I went to Jian'an City last time. I originally planned to buy some more and give them to you as gifts when you celebrate your birthday. But I just thought, study This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, so I plan to give it to you now. You must study it carefully and don't let down your eldest niece's heart."

After saying that, she waved her hand and said good night. Get on the carriage and go to rest by yourself.

Lin Chengyao was left alone, stupidly holding a heavy pile of strange books from heaven, messy in the wind.

Is her eldest niece really not a devil?

Chapter 176 Madam, I am cold too

Lin Xuezhu sent Lin Chengyao away, and saw her father Lin Chengzhang walking over while scratching his back and looking unhappy.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her father's appearance, and she must have itchy skin.

So he stuck his head out of the car window and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Chengzhang calmed down a little when he saw his daughter.

He said, "Daughter, when we go down the mountain tomorrow, can you take out your mobile bathroom and use it?"

As he said that, he grabbed a few more hands on his back.

Lin Xuezhu was secretly amused and replied: "You can use the mobile bathroom whenever you want, but I see your situation and I'm afraid that ordinary bathing won't solve the problem."

Lin Chengzhang is a scholar after all, and he is extremely itchy. Rather insulting to gentle people.

As a result, my daughter didn't save him any face and exposed it directly.

Lin Chengzhang's face turned red with embarrassment.

Lin Xuezhu patted her father on the shoulder and said carelessly: "Dad, don't worry, I will help you find a solution."

After that, she said good night to her father and closed the car curtain.

The consciousness enters the space and goes straight to the vegetable patch.

The flesh of an old loofah can be used as a dishcloth when dried.

It shouldn't be a big problem if I can barely act as a substitute for a bath towel.

Anyway, her father has rough skin and thick flesh, so he should be rubbed.

Lin Xuezhu rummaged through the vegetable patch and picked several baskets of loofahs, but did not find any old ones.

There is no way, this is the characteristic of space.

It will make the fruit of the plant grow to the most suitable level for the entrance, and then stop.

It will neither dry out nor rot.

Lin Xuezhu filled the rattan baskets she got today with fruits and vegetables, and then went to the utility room.

Speaking of weird things, we have to mention King Yan.

Lin Xuezhu felt that he could find inspiration from the collections in his private vault.

So, she searched through Prince Yan's "collection" with her mind.

After a sharp sensation in her eyes, she saw a stone with a rough surface and many small holes, similar to a modern foot rub stone.

That's it!

Lin Xuezhu looked excitedly at the "foot rub" for a long time.

Then according to this image, search the space with your mind.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything similar.

It seemed like every store she vacated sold nothing like this.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and her consciousness retreated from the space.

Just as he was about to get out of the carriage, he saw Yuan Xiu lifting the curtain and sitting in.

"It's so late, madam, what do you want?" Yuan Xiu was a little surprised to see Lin Xuezhu in a hurry.

Lin Xuezhu immediately sat cross-legged and said to Yuan Xiu solemnly: "Husband, have you ever used a stone for bathing?"

Yuan Xiu frowned and asked, "Why use a stone?"

"Rubbing with mud!" Lin Xuezhu said matter-of-factly: "You go out to fight in the wind and sun, you must have to rub the mud, right?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu and his eyes gradually became weird.

Is his wife okay?

Can something as private as taking a bath be mentioned casually?

Yuan Xiu coughed twice and reminded, "Madam, this is indecent, so we'd better not talk about it."

Lin Xuezhu looked up at the carport, very puzzled.

"Husband, you know that I have been committed to improving the quality of life of our whole family. I think things like taking a bath are extremely important, as important as eating. Do you understand?"

Yuan Xiu said that bathing is very important. He understands this.

But what he couldn't understand was that his wife was as beautiful as a flower, how could she have so much mud on her body that she needed to be rubbed with stones?

Yuan Xiu coughed again and said: "The stone Madam mentioned is called pumice. It cannot be found in ordinary places. It can only be found on the Yanshan Mountains in the Western Regions. Moreover, the pumice has a rough texture and rich people will not use it." ."

Lin Xuezhu thought of Prince Yan's "collection" and thought to herself: Haha, it seems you know nothing about wealthy people.

She asked: "Where can I buy this pumice stone?"

Yuan Xiu replied: "Caravans from the Western Regions traveling to the Central Plains occasionally bring it here, but the sales are not good."

"Why?" Lin Xuezhu asked again: "People with thick feet Don't you rub your feet?"

Yuan Xiu wanted to laugh and asked, "Madam, have you ever thought about who are the people with thick skin?"

"Working people," Lin Xuezhu answered naturally.

It is naturally difficult for those so-called nobles who have carriages to go out every day to grow thick foot skin, unless they have skin diseases.

Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "Since Madam knows that they are working people, why do they rub their feet?"

Lin Xuezhu thought about this and suddenly reacted.

But no, people who really work can only take the initiative to rub their feet if they think the skin of their feet is not thick enough and not wear-resistant enough!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu said with some disappointment: "I promised my father that I would find him something to bathe with. Am I going to break my promise?"

Yuan Xiu was relieved when he heard that the pumice stone was going to be given to Lin Chengzhang.

Fortunately, okay, it's not his wife who wants to rub the mud.

If I had told him earlier, it would have caused him to think wildly.

Seeing Yuan Xiu's expression gradually becoming brighter, Lin Xuezhu was puzzled again.

I heard Yuan Xiu say: "Pumice stones are hard to find, but if my father-in-law needs a scratching stick, I can think of a way for him."

"What is a scratching stick? Itchy scratching?" This was the first time Lin Xuezhu heard this term, and she just thought You can try to understand it yourself.

Yuan Xiu had never heard of "itchy scratching", so he understood it on his own and felt that he and his wife seemed to be thinking about the same thing.

Then he said: "As long as you find a suitable tree root and process it according to its original shape, you can use it as a scratching stick."

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and felt that this was also a way.

Since Lin Chengzhang couldn't take a bath, it would be good to do some itch scratching to relieve the irritation.

It's just that Tickle is also called Old Man's Joy, and her father is only in his thirties...

Lin Xuezhu's thoughts started to wander again.

She automatically imagined a picture of her father using itches to relieve the irritation while he was on the road.

Then I couldn't help but sigh, thinking about everything will only harm myself.

"Go to sleep. I'll leave this matter to Yan Da tomorrow."

Lin Xuezhu blocked the mental image, pulled a pillow from behind, and quickly lay down to get ready for sleep.

A small breeze blew in through the car window, bringing with it a hint of coolness.

Lin Xuezhu then realized that it was autumn, and as they went further north, the temperature difference between morning and evening also became larger.

Fortunately, Grandma Ma and others had already made thin quilts in advance.

Lin Xuezhu got up, shook off the thin quilt rolled to one side, and got in comfortably.

Among the four seasons, she likes the cool weather of spring and autumn the most.

Just as she was enjoying herself, she suddenly felt that the quilt behind her was being pulled open.

Then, Yuan Xiu also got in.

"Huh?" Lin Xuezhu turned around and glanced at Yuan Xiu with some discomfort.

Yuan Xiu looked at her with an innocent face and said helplessly: "Mama Ma only prepared one quilt for us. Madam, I'm cold too."

Chapter 177 Sister, please help me.

The mountain road has been difficult to walk for several days.

There are resources, but they are not easy to collect, so each team is very anxious.

Seeing that the food reserves are getting less and less, who can not be anxious?

However, these did not affect Lin Xuezhu.

This steep mountain topography is most suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs.

Because there are fewer people coming to collect herbs, the medicinal materials will last longer.

Lin Xuezhu understands this, Lin Chengyao understands it, and Zhou Shenyi also understands it.

He obviously didn't forget that he owed the Dog Emperor a Spring-Returning Pill, and planned to find some valuable medicinal materials in the mountains.

As for the dangers of picking medicine, he didn't care.

Anyway, with Lin Xuelan here, he didn't have to put himself in danger.

However, although he had a good plan, he didn't know that Lin Xuezhu didn't use hands at all to pick herbs.

Just use your mind to search within a radius of twenty meters, and when you see it, go directly into the space and plant it in the medicinal field.

Therefore, Zhou Shenyi searched for many days and found nothing, so he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Whenever he gets angry, Lin Xuelan's life becomes difficult.

Not only was she forced to weave twenty rattan baskets every day, but even half of the steamed buns given to her by officials had to be taken away by Zhou Shenyi.

She didn't get enough sleep, didn't eat enough, and her hands were bruised by canes.

The blisters burst and new ones appeared.

Over and over again, a pair of hands that were once carefully cared for became red, swollen and rough.

The person is also sallow, thin, listless, as if he is a walking corpse.

On this day, Zhou Shenyi found a herb on the edge of a cliff.

He immediately called Lin Xuelan and asked her to pick it.

Lin Xuelan only glanced down the cliff and her legs weakened with fear.

I wanted to refuse, but when I saw Zhou Shenyi's sinister eyes, I felt scared.

Helpless, she had no choice but to lie down on the edge of the cliff and stretch out her hand to reach the herb.

However, the tips of her fingers were still far away from the herbs.

"Down." Zhou Shenyi kicked her from behind.

The kick was so sudden that Lin Xuelan trembled all over and held on to the mountain wall to prevent herself from falling.

Her heart was beating fast, and a strong sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

She got up from the ground and quickly retreated.

Only when she could no longer see the terrifying scene under the cliff did she dare to speak.

"Mr. Zhou, you are not in the exile team to begin with. You and I have different opinions and will not work together. Let's go separately from now on."

After Mei Yun left, she thought about a question over and over again.

Why?

She and Zhou Shenyi were not the same person, so why should they go together?

Moreover, she has skills and can weave baskets for steamed buns. Why does she have to work so hard to support Zhou Shenyi?

Nowadays, people can still receive wages. How can she work as a slave when she has nothing?

She thought about these questions for many days.

She finally figured it out.

Originally, she planned to swallow her anger, thinking that when Zhou Shenyi found out his identity as the son of the Zhou family, she would be able to make a difference.

But now it seems that, let alone whether Zhou Shenyi has the ability to regain his identity, even if he does, his treatment of her is no longer the same as before.

No wonder her mother told her that men are the most unreliable, and if they get them, they will treat them like worn-out shoes, wandering around.

Now it seems that my mother was right.

Lin Xuelan couldn't help but miss her family a little.

Although, except for her grandmother, her cheap parents are all holding her back.

But with them here, at least she wouldn't be bullied like this.

She couldn't help but regret that she had just watched helplessly as her own father was poisoned to death by Zhou Shenyi.

Lin Xuelan thought of this and suddenly remembered that she had relatives.

So, when Zhou Shenyi's eyes became sharp, she quickly turned around and ran towards Lin Xuezhu's carriage.

"Sister, Xueyi, help me, help me quickly."

Lin Xuelan shouted as hard as she ran.

At this time, the Lin family was not in the carriage.

For safety reasons, they still choose to walk.

It's just that these days, Yan Da and others are driving out of experience.

Once you have confidence, you don't have to carry your things on your back.

Things were kept in the carriage as usual.

Yuan Xiu was also in the carriage, looked after by Lu Mo.

Lin Xuelan shouted while looking for Lin Xueyi.

That crazy look made even the horse wear a blindfold, which made her a little restless.

When Lu Mo saw this, he quickly took out his whistle and blew it a few times.

These days, he has been deliberately training the horses to recognize his whistle, and it has begun to show results.

At this time, the horse gradually calmed down under the soothing sound of his whistle.

Lin Xueyi, who was walking in front of the carriage, also heard the call from Lin Xuelan.

She was originally discussing basket weaving patterns with Lin Xuezhu, and both of them were very interested.

When Lin Xuelan shouted, they both turned around.

This scene was being watched by Lin Xuelan.

She felt so sad.

Lin Xueyi is clearly his sister, but now she is as close to outsiders as a family, but he no longer takes her as a sister seriously.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Xueyi was also shocked when she saw Lin Xuelan.

Although it was Lin Xuelan who suggested severing relations with her in the first place.

But she still has feelings for this sister in her heart.

She also felt uncomfortable seeing her sister so haggard.

"Xueyi, please help me, help me, I'm about to be tortured to death by Zhou Shenyi."

Seeing the concern in Lin Xueyi's eyes, Lin Xuelan felt a little comforted and quickly grabbed her sister's sleeves.

When Lin Xueyi heard Zhou Shenyi's name, she frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Xuezhu subconsciously.

Lin Xuezhu didn't have much expression on her face, but she was slightly away from them.

Lin Xueyi couldn't figure out what was going on in her cousin's mind for a while, so she had to ask Lin Xuelan, "Sister, what happened?"

Lin Xuelan burst into tears and told her that Zhou Shenyi asked her to weave baskets every day and even ate the buns in exchange.

I thought that based on Lin Xueyi's character, she would have to sympathize with her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xueyi only looked calm after listening.

"Sister, if you don't want to go with Zhou Shenyi, just separate. You have the ability to make a living on your own, so why bother raising him?" Lin Xueyi said.

Lin Xuelan looked at her sister in surprise, her eyes seeming to say: Is this the end? Didn't she invite herself to go with them?

Lin Xueyi looked confused, took out a piece of beef jerky from her pocket, and quietly gave it to Lin Xuelan.

He whispered: "Sister, this is the snack my cousin gave me yesterday. I forgot to eat it. You can take it to cushion your stomach. After you finish weaving the basket, you can exchange it for steamed buns with your cousin. You don't have to feed Zhou Shenyi. You only need to weave ten baskets a day, and you can eat two steamed buns."

Lin Xuelan couldn't believe what Lin Xueyi said.

Her biological sister was going to watch her work hard at weaving baskets in exchange for two pitiful steamed buns?

How come they put something as good as beef jerky and forget to eat it, but she can only eat steamed buns filled with beggar seeds?

Lin Xuelan almost laughed angrily, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer Lin Xueyi's words.

Chapter 178 Everything about her was supposed to be mine.

Lin Xuelan thought about it for a long time and felt that the reason why her sister was so ruthless must be because of what Lin Xuezhu said.

Otherwise, how could her cute, obedient sister say such a thing!

Lin Xuelan was anxious and said to Lin Xueyi without hesitation: "Xueyi, I can't stay outside alone. Zhou Shenyi is so ruthless. He will kill me, just like he killed our father."

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Xueyi, but also everyone around who heard it were shocked and turned their attention to Lin Xuelan.

"Sister, what did you say?" Lin Xueyi could hardly believe her ears.

Lin Xuelan thought, no matter what she said, she must achieve her goal.

So he continued: "Dad didn't die of illness, but was killed by Zhou Shenyi. He also threatened me before, saying that if I didn't obey, he would poison me with medicine."

Lin Xueyi was frightened when she heard this. Got goosebumps.

Seeing that her sister remained silent, Lin Xuelan knew that she was frightened.

She quickly said: "Good sister, you and I are the only two people left in our family now. For the sake of sisterly love, please take me in."

After talking for a long time, she finally revealed her true purpose.

Lin Xuezhu smiled secretly in his heart.

I hate humans who have no sense of boundaries.

Does Lin Xuelan think that her sister Lin Xueyi is the one who calls the shots in this family?

Lin Xuezhu remained silent and watched the changes.

I heard Lin Xueyi say: "Sister, I can't take you in because I was also taken in by my cousin. If sister is afraid of Zhou Shenyi, try to stay away from him. If it doesn't work, I will accompany my sister to find the official and beg them. Look after your sister."

Lin Xuezhu was deeply pleased to hear what the little girl said.

As a person caught in the middle between the legitimate and concubine, Lin Xueyi has always adhered to her principles and bottom line.

Although Lin Xuelan and others are her closest relatives, she is also trying her best to take care of her elders.

But she had never put Lin Xuezhu in trouble because of her family.

This is called carrying it clearly.

Lin Xuelan was very disappointed after hearing this.

Of course she knew that Lin Xuezhu would not take her in.

So she had a hard time with Lin Xueyi because she wanted her sister to help her beg Lin Xuezhu.

She knew that Lin Xuezhu liked Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xuezhu might agree to Lin Xueyi's request.

But she didn't expect that her sister would not even say a word for her.

Lin Xuelan sneered in her heart.

The deep love between sisters is nothing more than a white-eyed wolf who doesn't even care about his own sister in order to live a good life for himself.

However, she did not dare to fall out with Lin Xueyi.

Because behind Lin Xueyi there is Lin Xuezhu's family.

As long as she could get along with Lin Xuezhu, Zhou Shenyi would definitely not dare to harass her again. Lin Xuelan gritted her teeth and continued to say miserably

: "Zhou Shenyi is a doctor. He wants to harm people. Who can stop him? Sister, you know that the only person in this team who can suppress him is my cousin."

When it comes to this, no matter how simple Lin Xueyi is, she can still hear what Lin Xuelan means.

The little girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

On one side is his cousin who is very kind to him, and on the other is his pitiful sister.

She neither wanted to ask her cousin to compromise for her, nor could she leave her sister alone.

After thinking about it, the little girl had a plan in mind.

"Let's do this, I'll go with my sister." Lin Xueyi said, "If I accompany my sister, then Zhou Shenyi will be scrupulous and won't attack her easily."

Lin Xuelan didn't understand what she meant. His eyes widened in confusion.

Lin Xueyi seemed to be cheering herself up and said, "From now on, we sisters will depend on each other and make a living for ourselves."

"What?" Lin Xuelan couldn't believe her ears.

She came here to ask to join, she didn't want Lin Xueyi to be independent with her!

How can a family of two girls make a living?

Isn't that equivalent to waiting to die?

Seeing Lin Xueyi looking very determined, Lin Xuelan was very contemptuous.

Is this girl a fool?

Lin Xueyi had no idea what her sister was thinking, so she decided to go and talk to Lin Xuezhu.

Seeing that her sister was about to leave, Lin Xuelan quickly held her back.

"Xue Yi, you can't come with me." Lin Xuelan said anxiously.

"Why?" Lin Xueyi was confused.

Lin Xuelan said: "You have finally lived a stable life with your cousin's family. My sister is happy for you, so how can I let you endure hardships and hardships for your sister?"

When Lin Xueyi heard what she said, she thought she was It's about caring about yourself.

He comforted her and said, "It's okay, sister. I followed my cousin and learned a lot of survival skills. Although I don't know how to hunt and it's hard to eat meat, my life is no problem. As long as my two sisters are more diligent, we will always be able to survive." You can survive."

Lin Xuelan was so angry when she saw the innocent look on her face.

Seeing that Lin Xuezhu's family was nearby, she quickly pulled Lin Xueyi away from the crowd.

Why don't you give up and tell the truth: "Why are you such a jerk? You can't live a good life, but you have to go out to make a living by yourself! Just go and tell Lin Xuezhu and ask her to take me with you. Their family is so There are many people, am I the only one left?"

Lin Xueyi was shocked when she heard this.

She thought that her sister was suffering alone outside, and she thought of the benefits of her family and wanted to regain family ties.

But she didn't expect that she actually wanted to use herself to sneak into her cousin's house and live a good life!

Lin Xueyi felt very uncomfortable.

He said seriously: "Sister, I don't need to tell you what your relationship with your cousin was like in the past. You know it in your heart. If you really regret it, go and admit your mistake to your cousin, ask for your forgiveness, and then ask your cousin if you can For the sake of the family, I will take care of you."

Lin Xuelan's jaw almost dropped when she heard this.

He asked back: "Why should I admit my mistake to her? What did I do wrong? It was Lin Xuezhu who took away what belonged to me. She caused our family to be destroyed. It was she who wanted to admit her mistake to me and ask for my forgiveness!"

Lin Xue Yi stared at her sister in disbelief, her heart feeling cold.

She said expressionlessly: "In that case, you should hate your cousin, why do you still go to her side to seek shelter?"

In one sentence, Lin Xuelan was speechless.

After a long while, she said viciously: "Everything about her should have been mine. Even if she gives it all back to me now, I will never forgive her for what she did to me!"

Lin Xueyi was filled with emotion after hearing these three thoughts. If it is broken, it will only make you feel cold.

Co-authored, my sister is here to collect debts.

It's just that she doesn't know, what exactly does her cousin owe her sister?

Lin Xueyi just felt that any more words now would be a waste of time.

My sister is hopeless.

"Sister, if this is the case, you should never forgive me. You should hate me as well."

After saying that, she ignored Lin Xuelan and turned around to find Lin Xuezhu.

Fortunately, she didn't get carried away and tell her cousin that she was leaving.

Otherwise, how sad my cousin would be!

Chapter 179: Please explain to me clearly

that Lin Xuelan failed to achieve her goal and saw her sister turn around and leave.

For a moment, the grievance and resentment in her heart reached its peak.

It is said that there is no turning back. She has offended Zhou Shenyi. No matter what, she must get the protection of the Lin family today.

Otherwise, her future path will only become more and more difficult.

Thinking of this, she followed Lin Xuezhu closely.

After a while, the official ordered him to rest where he was.

Everyone was tired from walking. When they heard that they could rest, they immediately found a suitable place to sit down.

Lin Xuezhu added some honey to each water bag.

The light sweetness of honey, combined with the clearness of the spiritual spring water, replenishes the family's physical strength very well.

The whole family was happily drinking honey water.

At this time, Lin Xuelan jumped in front of Lin Xuezhu.

"Lin Xuezhu, what did you say to my sister? Why doesn't she recognize me as her biological sister?"

This question successfully attracted the attention of the people around her.

It had been a long time since I had watched the excitement. After a while, almost everyone in the exile team focused their attention on the Lin family.

Lin Xuezhu didn't even raise her head and said emotionally, "Didn't you want to break off the relationship with her?"

Lin Xuezhu was speechless.

She almost forgot that she did say before that she would sever ties with Lin Xueyi.

However, she was so angry at that time that she couldn't say or do anything.

She secretly encouraged herself that she would never lose the quarrel with Lin Xuezhu today.

Then he said: "The relationship between sisters can't be severed by cutting it off. I just couldn't see your way of winning people's hearts, so I said such angry words."

"Oh." Lin Xuezhu was unmoved and asked lightly: " What else?"

Lin Xuelan was stunned again, then thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to recognize my sister today. The two of us sisters should be together and not be separated. This is in line with the laws of nature and human relations."

Lin Xuezhu smiled, very gentle . She said, "Okay, then you sisters can stay together. I'm not stopping you."

After saying that, she got up, went to the carriage to get some dry food, and distributed it to everyone in the family.

Lin Xuelan watched helplessly, her stomach growling.

She was hungry, hungry all the time.

But no one paid attention to her.

Lin Xuezhu said that he would not stop the sisters from being together.

But when giving out food, he only gave it to his sister, completely treating her as if she didn't exist. Why?

Lin Xuelan looked around and saw many people watching her excitement, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.

But when she glanced at Zhou Shenyi and saw the gloating look on his face, she couldn't help but shiver all over.

No, today, even if she is a scapegoat, she will still have to scapegoat the Lin family.

She made up her mind and sat down next to Lin Xueyi.

She wanted to tell the Lin family through actions that it was not easy to get rid of her.

Lin Xueyi was eating the dry food given by Lin Xuezhu. Seeing Lin Xuezhu's indifference, it was very degrading and she felt a little sad.

Her sister was raised as a lady from childhood to adulthood.

But now, she is acting like a scoundrel.

"Little cousin, have you finished eating?" Lin Xuezhu came over at the right time, holding a bunch of blueberries in his hand and handed it to Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xueyi took the blueberry and quietly picked the fruit to eat.

Lin Xuelan had never seen a blueberry before. She stared at the small blue fruit and swallowed hard.

She glanced at Lin Xueyi hesitantly.

Then, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, he snatched Lin Xueyi's blueberries and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

"Sister!" Lin Xueyi was dumbfounded and looked at Lin Xuelan in disbelief.

Lin Xuelan devoured it so greedily that she even wanted to stuff branches into her mouth.

As for what blueberries taste like, she couldn't taste them at all.

Lin Xueyi was sad and disappointed. She didn't want to say a word, so she got up and got into the carriage.

Lin Xuelan wanted to follow her into the carriage again.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't stand it anymore and winked at Hu Yitong.

Hu Yitong understood and stood in front of the carriage, preventing Lin Xuelan from getting on.

"What are you doing? I want to find my sister!" Lin Xuelan said forcefully.

She was afraid of Lin Xuezhu, but not these servants.

It's just that she can't survive. She relies on the Lin family's poor settlement. Why should she stand in her way!

Hu Yitong didn't speak, and Lin Xuelan had no choice but to stand in the way of the tall figure.

Lin Xuezhu said slowly: "Lin Xuelan, there are so many strong men in my family, and there are two who are good at kung fu. If you have any sense, you should not challenge our patience repeatedly. Don't regard our tolerance as your capital to be a monster."

Lin Xuelan felt resentful after hearing this.

She simply risked her life and said boldly: "Then you kill me, I won't be able to survive anyway. Do you dare to do it? If not, I will follow you all the time. Anyway, what I eat is my sister's food, You have nothing to do with it."

With a squeak, a bamboo stick was inserted into her thigh.

Lin Xuelan was in pain and stumbled to the ground, looking sadly at Yuan Xiu who threw bamboo sticks at her.

Then Yuan Xiu said coldly, "You are an exiled prisoner. We can't kill you. However, if you continue to provoke, you will inevitably suffer physical pain."

After saying that, with a flick of his hand, another bamboo stick was pierced. On Lin Xuelan's arm.

Lin Xuelan saw the bamboo stick flying over and subconsciously avoided it, but she still didn't.

It was as if Yuan Xiu could predict her actions in advance, and he would definitely not fail wherever he said he would strike.

Lin Xuelan shouted at the carriage: "Xueyi, you just ignore them when they bully your sister?"

There was silence in the carriage, and there was no reply.

Lin Xuezhu said slowly: "Lin Xuelan, usually when I fight with others, my husband never interferes. He will only take action when dealing with beasts like wild boars and wolves. You should feel honored."

These words were direct . Everyone who heard it laughed.

Mrs. Lin understands the yin and yang of strange things.

Lin Xuelan heard Lin Xuezhu scolding her, and her face turned red with anger.

He asked, "Lin Xuezhu, are you very proud of your instigating a rebellion between my two sisters? You want to rob me of everything, and now you want to rob me even of my own sister?"

"Who said that?" Lin Xuezhu looked innocent. "I didn't steal your Mr. Zhou. Wouldn't you like to leave it to you to enjoy alone?"

Lin Xuelan couldn't help but shudder when she mentioned Zhou Shenyi.

Lin Xuezhu said coldly: "You also told the Mei sisters that Zhou Shenyi and I are not clear-cut. I want to ask you, who hugged Zhou Shenyi in the grove before leaving the cabinet, and behaved in a disgraceful way? Something?"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a bomb was thrown into the deep water, and a huge splash suddenly exploded.

The onlookers looked at me, and I looked at him, and they all had expressions on their faces that they were eating to their heart's content.

Lin Xuelan suddenly became angry when her dirty deeds were exposed in public.

After scanning the crowd with his eyes, he shouted: "Mei Yun, when did I say such a thing? Please explain it clearly to me!"

Chapter 180: That feeling, like light on the back

, Mei Yun realized something during this period.

That is, no matter who you offend, you must not offend Lin Xuezhu.

Listening to Lin Xuelan yelling at herself, how could she miss this opportunity to show her loyalty.

Then he said: "Don't you say enough bad things about Mrs. Lin? From the first day my two sisters came here, you insulted Mrs. Lin with all kinds of unpleasant words. We sisters heard it very clearly. Even Mr. Zhou heard it!"

She knew that Lin Xuelan and Zhou Shenyi had broken up, so she was not afraid of dragging Zhou Shenyi into this battle.

Zhou Shenyi, as the leading actor in this gossip scene, stood up calmly in front of everyone's gaze.

His sinister gaze swept across Lin Xuelan's face.

He said nonchalantly: "Yes, since the beginning of my relationship with Miss Lin, she has said a lot of bad things about Mrs. Lin. I can prove that what Mei Yun said is true. However, Mrs. Lin and I are innocent, but Miss Lin, Take the initiative to throw yourself into my arms and pledge yourself to me."

"Oh..." There was an exclamation from the crowd.

The most important thing for a woman is her reputation, let alone a girl raised by a wealthy family.

Lin Xuelan's self-degradation made everyone despise her.

Lin Xuelan was a little scared when she saw Zhou Shenyi standing up.

But then I thought about it, maybe it would be better to make things bigger.

She broke up with Zhou Shenyi in front of everyone, so that even if Zhou Shenyi wanted to harm her in the future, he would have some scruples.

So she said: "You killed my father, and I have nothing to do with you. Don't throw dirty water on my head!"

"Oh, really? How did I kill your father?" Zhou Shenyi was very interested. asked.

"You gave my father unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum, and you said the symptoms were just like ordinary diarrhea. When others saw it, they would only think that my father was acclimated and would not suspect that he was poisoned." Lin Xuelan poured beans from a bamboo tube General said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Lin Xuezhu was shocked and couldn't help but hold her forehead.

The heroine's IQ is really not good.

It's really the point where the female protagonist can play herself to death without the male protagonist and a bunch of licking male partners.

Zhou Shenyi smiled proudly and asked, "So, you and I are complicit?"

Lin Xuelan then realized that she had let the matter slip in her impatience.

She glanced at the people talking in a panic, and then realized that Lin Xueyi had come out of the carriage at some point.

"Sister, you actually conspired with others to kill daddy!"

Lin Xueyi simply didn't recognize the person in front of her who was called "sister".

No matter how disrespectful she was and acted recklessly, how could she murder her own family?

For the onlookers, it would be a shame to die for a scum like Lin Chengkun.

But it's one thing for him to die himself, it's another thing to be killed by his own daughter.

Everyone cast their condemning and fearful eyes on Lin Xuelan.

They didn't expect that a young girl could be so vicious!

"Xueyi, it's not me he's talking nonsense about, I didn't." Lin Xuelan's defense was feeble.

After all, what she just said came from her own mouth.

Lin Xueyi only looked at Lin Xuelan with disappointment.

After a long while, she said calmly: "Sister, I thought you were spoiled by your grandmother and were just willful. But I didn't expect that you were so evil-minded. You said you wanted to sever ties with me before, okay, I'll just do it. As you wish. From now on, don't bother us anymore. Otherwise, no matter how others treat you, I will turn a blind eye."

When Lin Xueyi said this, she really had no hope for Lin Xuelan.

It is also telling others that if Lin Xuelan makes trouble again, they can do whatever they want without caring about her face.

After Lin Xueyi's words were clear, she returned to the carriage.

But the onlookers were not calm anymore.

Someone said: "This Miss Lin is already a guilty person, and now she has killed her own father. Shouldn't she be added to her crime?"

"That's not true. When she reaches the north, she should be handed over to the government for disposal. "Someone echoed.

While he was talking, Liu Kui came out with one of his men.

The man held a thick iron chain and fastened it on Lin Xuelan.

Lin Xuelan was puzzled and was about to struggle.

Just listen to Liu Kui say: "The sinner Lin Xuelan murdered her own father. This will prevent her from continuing to cause trouble and endanger others. I have specially tightened her shackles and sent a special person to guard her. When she reaches the northern border, she will be handed over to the local government."

This approach, It is undoubtedly very satisfying.

This relieved those in the team who were worried about Lin Xuelan causing trouble.

Lin Xuelan was still going to argue, but Zhou Shenyi walked up to her and stared at her sadly.

He said: "Miss Lin, since you are married to me, you should walk with me from now on. Mrs. Lin's family will not accept you. The only person you can rely on is me."

When he said this, The pale face like a paper man, coupled with the cold voice and three white eyes, looks more like a ghost.

Lin Xuelan shivered, struggled to pull the shackles, and tried her best to hide behind the official, as if avoiding the god of plague.

"Don't come here. From now on, I have nothing to do with you."

Lin Xuelan avoided Zhou Shenyi while grabbing the officer's clothes and pleading: "Master, he wants to kill me, please save me, save me. "

Fortunately, although the official was unhappy with Lin Xuelan, he understood his responsibilities.

He said coldly to Zhou Shenyi: "Mr. Zhou, we are an exile team. You are not a member of our team. Please don't provoke our prisoners."

Zhou Shenyi smiled sinisterly and looked past the official officer to Lin Xuelan.

The complicated yet warning meaning in that look frightened Lin Xuelan again.

It's over, it's all over. She couldn't get rid of Zhou Shenyi, but she offended him instead.

He wouldn't attack her when the official wasn't paying attention, would he?

Lin Xuelan was trembling with fear. The next afternoon, when she was on the road, she always felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

The feeling was like a glow on my back.

She was so startled that the officials who were looking after her were extremely annoyed.

Lin Chengyao watched this scene and said to Lin Xuezhu with some emotion: "Eldest niece, I thought at the beginning that the cause of Lin Chengkun's death was strange. But I didn't expect that his biological daughter would join others to harm him."

Lin Xuezhu heard this. I feel the same way about this.

Although Lin Xuelan is not as holy as she appears.

For example, when she encountered a wolf attack, she chose to run for her own life instead of caring about her grandmother.

But killing his own father is still a bit outrageous.

However, this also shows from the side how disgusting a character Lin Chengkun is.

Even his own daughter doesn't want him to live.

Lin Xuezhu knew that Lin Chengyao was very shocked, but she didn't want the atmosphere at home to be ruined by this kind of thing.

So, she joked: "Uncle, you must be nice to Xiaoxuan'er."
