21-30
After the dog emperor confiscated my property, I emptied the entire treasury
Chapter 21 Today there is sister-in-law literature, but in ancient times there were old slaves who turned against
each other. After hearing what Ma Xing said, Liu Kui immediately set his sights on Grandma Yu.
The facts of the case are obvious. It was this old woman who let Mrs. Lin and her family go.
And in order to deceive others and delay time, they moved Mrs. Lin and the others from the woodshed to Mrs. Lin's bedroom.
If it weren't for Ma Xing's cleverness, Mrs. Lin would have disappeared long ago by the time they finished counting the number of people!
Nanny Yu felt a chill coming from the top of her head, and her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys felt like they were soaking in the river water of the twelfth lunar month.
"Tie this old woman up for me!" Liu Kui said immediately: "Ma Xing, He Shun, follow me to arrest the person; the others stay behind and keep an eye on everyone!"
"Yes!" All the officials said in unison. shouted loudly.
Grandma Yu's body shook like chaff at the cry.
Soon, she was tied up by two officials and thrown into the ground.
With her face pressed against the sand on the ground, Grandma Yu's mind was in confusion, and she couldn't figure it out.
How could it be?
Last night, she personally watched everything from drugging and putting sacks on people to tying people up and loading them into cars.
Although they were afraid of making a big fuss, they didn't light the torches.
But if it was the master and the others in the woodshed, why didn't anyone say anything?
Grandma Yu was completely confused.
Lin Xuezhu, who was standing not far away, almost laughed out loud at this moment as she watched her old Beibei's eyes rolling around.
She walked around the village last night and collected everything she could sweep away into the space.
Then he drugged them, knocked down the old lady and her family, stuffed them into the space and took them out.
Returning to the firewood room, he explained to Lin Chengzhang and others about Grandma Yu's vicious plan, and asked them to move to the bedroom to escape.
In order to protect ourselves, of course no one has any objection.
But they didn't know that the old lady and her family were moved into the woodshed by Lin Xuezhu, and then mistakenly tied into a carriage by Aunt Yu and sent away two miles away.
Aunt Yu had calculated it.
He even asked his servants to leave clues along the way.
Therefore, Liu Kui and the others worked hard and chased him for more than an hour before catching him.
When the sack was untied, the old lady and her family fell into a deep sleep.
The purring sounds of different frequencies and rhythms made the veins on Liu Kui's forehead pop.
"Walk him up!" Liu Kui yelled, biting his back molars.
Immediately, an officer fetched several buckets of cold well water, and Duotou greeted the old lady and the others.
"Little beauty, don't run away." Lin Chengkun opened his eyes with excitement.
Immediately afterwards, other people woke up one after another.
Seeing that they were surrounded by people, they all showed confused expressions.
Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi even held their chests that were soaked by water and hugged each other tremblingly.
When the old lady turned her head and saw Nanny Yu being tied up, she suddenly felt bad.
Before she could think about it, she heard Liu Kui say in a gloomy voice: "You guys ran away, are you risking your lives?"
After hearing this, the old lady understood instantly.
Although she didn't know what happened, causing the concubine's family who should have been sent away to still stand there unharmed, but they were labeled as escapees.
But she knew very well that once the charges of escape were confirmed, their lives would not be saved.
As her mind raced, the old lady pointed at her and argued: "It was all her, she took it upon herself to send us out. We didn't know about this, and we were wronged."
She said this , Lin Chengkun and Guo, who had not yet reacted to this matter, also subconsciously said: "That's right, we didn't know about it, and we were wronged."
"Master!" Grandma Yu looked at the old lady in disbelief, With a look of betrayal on her face, she said: "This slave is devoted to his master, how can the master put all the blame on his head?"
It was in vain that she only thought about her plans for her master. It turned out that she had never cared about him in his heart. Order some weight!
The old lady was unmoved.
She knew all of Aunt Yu's plans, so she also knew how to get herself out.
So, she said in a cold voice: "Master Mingjian, last night our family had dinner and turned off the lights and had a rest. Until we were woken up by Master splashing water on us just now, we had no idea what happened in the meantime. Master understands People, in this case, they must have been drugged, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuezhu wanted to give the old lady a thumbs up.
Sure enough, once it comes to the house fight, this old guy is invincible at the same level.
Use his spear to attack his shield.
What a trick!
Liu Kui was about to believe it when he saw it.
After all, after being jolted on the carriage for several hours and still sleeping like a dead pig, most people can't pretend.
What's more, since this family of eight is like this, they can't all be pretending, right?
Aunt Yu knew that she was at a disadvantage, but was still unwilling to do so. She quickly argued: "My lord, it is clear that this old slave is just a servant. Without the master's instructions, why would he do such a stupid thing? Is the old slave crazy?"
"Yes, are you crazy? Now you have not only harmed yourself, but also our whole family. You are really confused. " I had to cry and fainted in the toilet.
Grandma Yu simply vomited out a mouthful of old blood and stared at the old lady resentfully.
After a while, she showed a smile that was uglier than a ghost and said: "Master, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
She turned her eyes to Lin Chengzhang resentfully and said: "Second Master, take a good look. "Zhuangzi, this is what the old lady bought by defrauding you of the family property left by the old master and saving up for many years. Now that you are here, you can only sleep in the woodshed. Do you still want to be filial to your aunt?
" , she looked at Lin Chengyao again and said: "Third Master, back then the old lady looked down on you and refused to send you to school. Have you ever thought about why? Do you know how much the old lady secretly asked you to take the blame for her son? ? You found your own way out and became a doctor in your father-in-law's family. The old lady teased you for cutting in. "
Finally, she looked at Lin Jiayuan with a sarcastic look in her eyes and said, "Miss Fourth, you are the most pitiful. You were poisoned by the old lady when you were still in your mother's womb. Over the years, you have been known to have killed your own mother, and you are not treated well by the old lady. The old lady also specially chose a husband with bad behavior for you. You should eat it. You've suffered a lot, haven't you?"
After she finished speaking, when she saw that both the direct and concubine members of the Lin family all changed their expressions, they suddenly started crying and laughing.
Since she was devoted to the Lord and was ruthlessly abandoned, it would be better for everyone to fight to the death.
Don't let anyone think about it!
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh, today there is sister-in-law literature, but in ancient times, old slaves turned against each other.
Both are extremely lethal.
It turns out these are hidden plots.
Aunt Yu is such a lovely old Beibi. This saves her a lot of trouble.
It is estimated that Lin Chengzhang and others will never want to call the old lady "mother" again in this life.
Sure enough, the people she, Lin Xuezhu, looked down on were not good people!
Chapter 22 My leg hurts. It would be better if I could take some poison.
When Grandma Yu revealed her truth, the old lady's image of charity in everyone's mind suddenly collapsed.
Everyone gathered in a circle and pointed at the direct lineage of the Lin family with great disdain.
But Liu Kui didn't care who was right and he just wanted to punish him as soon as possible without delaying his trip.
Then he said: "Old Mrs. Lin and Mammy are both master and servant, so they must be involved in this matter. Considering that they are old and frail, I will spare them the death penalty, but they will not escape the crime of living. Come on, pull them down. , each person will be rewarded with twenty lashes."
Several officials came up, picked up the two of them and walked to the backyard.
Grandma Yu's face was cold, and she stared at the old lady with a malicious look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
But the old lady cried out that she was wronged and said to Lin Chengkun: "Kun'er, get the baggage quickly."
There was money in the baggage.
Lin Chengkun's eyebrows twitched and he subconsciously touched the baggage.
Mrs. Guo who was next to her tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Now that I have used my money, what will I do along the way? You can't throw the whole family in just for one person."
Lin Chengkun thought about it, this is it Reasonable, he turned his face and allowed the old lady to be dragged to the backyard.
On the other hand, Lin Xuelan, the heroine of the Madonna series, saw that her parents were not caring about her grandmother, so she grabbed the baggage and ran to the backyard.
"Bah, this girl is a waste of money." Mrs. Guo spat hard on the ground.
Lin Chengkun also looked around anxiously.
If it weren't for the officials watching, he would have wanted to run to the backyard to snatch the money back.
Only Lin Xuezhu was watching the show with a smile.
After a while, the wailing sounds of Grandma Yu and the old lady came from the backyard, mixed with Lin Xuelan's begging for mercy.
After about a cup of tea, the old lady and Lin Xuelan were brought back.
Both of them were injured, and Lin Xuelan looked more serious. She must have blocked a lot of whips for the old lady.
Lin Chengkun hurriedly went up to him, pulled Lin Xuelan and asked, "Lan'er, what's going on? Where's the money?"
Lin Xuelan's face was full of misery, she stared at her father sadly and said, "What kind of silver? Ten purses are full of stones. Lin Chengkun
was stupid and went to catch the old lady again, saying anxiously: "Mom, didn't Grandma Yu give you money? Where is the money?"
Seeing that the old lady was indifferent, he asked again: "Where is the silver note?" In your clothes? Where is it?"
Then he started to touch the old lady's clothes.
With a snap, a heavy slap fell on Lin Chengkun's face.
The old lady looked coldly at the son she had doted on for half her life, and asked, "Why, without a bank note, you don't recognize me as your mother?"
"Mother!" Lin Chengkun was speechless and lowered his head.
Mrs. Guo quickly smoothed things over and said sweetly: "Mom, look at what you are saying. We didn't say we won't save you. We are just discussing how much silver we should get. However, how can such good silver turn into stone? What?"
After she said this, the old lady seemed to remember something and quickly pinched the hem of her clothes.
Then, she shouted with a look of horror: "My banknote, my banknote is missing."
She had clearly checked it last night, but why was it gone now?
The old lady endured the pain, ran to Liu Kui with all her strength, grabbed his lapel and said: "Master, there is a thief, a thief stole my banknotes."
Liu Kui shook her off expressionlessly and snorted: "Thief? I think your old servant is the thief!"
As he said this, he waved to the door.
Immediately an official came over with a carriage.
Everyone recognized that this carriage was given to the official by Grandma Yu yesterday.
It is said that some food was donated to the exiled team.
The official opened the curtain, took out a package, and opened it in front of everyone.
With a crash, a whole bag of stones fell to the ground.
The officer took out several more food boxes, all of which were filled with stones.
Liu Kui glanced at the old lady mockingly and said, "Is this the deep love between master and servant you have?"
The old lady's face turned pale and she collapsed on the ground.
The aloof look of the one who accepted everyone's worship last night was gone.
Lin Chengkun and Guo took a few steps back into the crowd in disappointment.
Afraid of being remembered, they are a family.
It was still only the sisters Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi who stepped forward to help the old lady up.
Lin Xuelan said: "Grandma, keep the green hills here, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, you must take care of yourself."
After hearing this, the old lady seemed to have suddenly returned to her sanity, and suddenly turned her head to stare at Lin Xuezhu.
"It's you!" Her eyes seemed to burst out with fire.
It must be that little bitch who caused her to be beaten and caused her to lose so much money.
That was her life's work.
Lin Xuezhu only glanced at the old lady faintly and curled her lips slightly.
The old lady seemed to have gone crazy, and said viciously: "You should be the one who ran away, and you should be the one who died. Why are you still alive? Why are you still fine? Go to hell, go to hell!
" Howling, while rushing towards Lin Xuezhu, two old and fat hands stretched out to Lin Xuezhu's neck.
"Don't be afraid, cousin!" Lu Mo quickly stood in front of Lin Xuezhu with quick eyesight and quick hands.
Ma Xing also ran over, knocked the old lady to the ground, and shouted: "If you act recklessly again, your life will be in danger!"
Lin Xuezhu calmly looked at the old lady lying on the ground, and said coldly: "So you are You want to frame us and accuse us of running away. I didn't expect that your old slave had other intentions and sent you on your way. As expected, evil people have their own destiny." After
she explained this, she originally felt that the case was fishy. Everyone suddenly felt that everything made sense.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a dog-eat-dog story, haha.
"Bad luck!" Liu Kui spat out two words fiercely and waved his hand, "Tie them up, gagged them, count the number of people, and get on the road!"
A lot of time has been wasted for this old woman, and we can't continue to make trouble.
"Thank you." Lin Xuezhu smiled and patted the young Lu Mo who was still standing in front of her.
"You're welcome." Lu Mo blushed and reminded in a low voice, "My cousin is awake."
"Huh?" Lin Xuezhu glanced at Yuan Xiu, who was lying on Yan Da's back, and her thoughts changed.
Now that the male protagonist has woken up, should she fulfill her duties as a romantic partner and maintain her character?
Thinking of this, she smiled brightly at Yuan Xiu, who was looking at her coldly.
He ran over and asked, "Husband, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yuan Xiu said with a half-smile, "My legs hurt. I wish I could take some poison."
Lin Xuezhu's heart skipped a beat. Almost jumped to a stop.
As expected of the male protagonist, he is about to become a sperm.
Then even a drop of the drug can be detected by him.
She smiled awkwardly, pretending to be stupid and said, "What are you talking about, husband? I don't know what drugs are like."
Yuan Xiu stopped talking and didn't really want to expose her.
In the past few days, he had been unconscious most of the time.
But he can still feel how many times he has been fed water, how many times he has been given medicine, and what kind of changes have occurred in his body.
He had never had a good impression of Lin Xuezhu.
Just wanted to see how long she would keep pretending.
Chapter 23 The steamed buns with bacon were so fragrant that they were a little confused.
Lin Xuezhu was stared at by Yuan Xiu for a while, and she suddenly felt that her whole body was not feeling well.
The male protagonist's unruffled demeanor is actually a bit scary.
It seems that she can't just care about her character, she also has to care about her own life.
It's okay, don't get close to the hero!
Thinking of this, she took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve, hurriedly stuffed it into Lu's hand, and hurriedly walked away.
Mr. Lu covered the medicine bottle with his sleeve and took a peek. He saw that it was a Vitality Pill that could be bought in an ordinary drug store.
He sighed slightly and said, "This kid has tried his best. Xiu'er, can't you be nicer to me?"
Yuan Xiu was stunned when he heard this and stared at Lu in a strange way.
His aunt used to look down upon Lin Xuezhu the most.
Why did you suddenly start speaking for her?
Mrs. Lu knew what he was thinking and explained: "Xue Zhu, this kid, sometimes looks rude, but he is actually kind-hearted. This person needs to get into trouble to know which ones are humans and which ones are ghosts around him. After a
pause, she seemed to have remembered something interesting, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, my heart has always been following her. One moment I feel that she is stubborn, and the other moment I feel that she is a loser." Damn it. Now I understand, as long as she treats you well, there's nothing I can do about it."
"No," Lu Mo also interjected, "My cousin looks carefree, but she's actually very considerate. , this method of fixing you was thought up by my cousin."
Yuan Xiu's face almost turned dark when he heard the admiration in his little cousin's tone.
He also guessed who had come up with such an evil idea to keep his legs stretched forward, which was simply shameful.
It turns out to be that ghost girl Lin Xuezhu!
Hey, did she think that the few times she took care of him could offset her evil deeds of plotting against him and forcing him to marry her?
Innocent!
Yuan Xiu didn't want to say anything, turned his head coldly and looked into the distance.
At this time, the exile team left Zhuangzi.
Liu Kui drove a carriage and led the way.
He was impatient and went a little faster. The people behind him couldn't keep up and started to complain.
"My lord, we haven't been given food this morning. We can't even walk."
"Yes, we could barely keep up yesterday, but today we are going to be exhausted."
After hearing this, the official swung his whip and said, He yelled: "What are you talking about? You can leave if you don't want to. If you delay your trip, just wait and be punished." As
soon as these words came out, the people who originally complained fell silent and turned their resentful eyes towards the old lady's family.
If this family hadn't caused trouble, why would the time have been wasted? Why would there be such a rush?
At this time, the old lady couldn't care less about everyone's attention.
After being whipped and having to carry the injury forward, her fat body was already overwhelmed.
Even Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi, who were supporting her, felt very strenuous.
Mrs. Guo felt sorry for her two daughters and said to Lin Chengkun angrily: "Your son is really free. He doesn't care about his own mother and lets his two daughters take care of it. Don't you see how tired your daughters are? Are you still a human being?" Lin Chengkun
glanced at her indifferently and said sarcastically: "If you can, give birth to a son and let him have a leisurely life."
In one sentence, Mr. Guo was speechless.
In recent years, Lin Chengkun took in Jiufang's aunt on the grounds that the Guo family could not give birth to a son.
Mrs. Guo dared not speak out when she was angry, so she could only vent her anger by teasing her aunt.
It's the same this time.
She roughly pulled Gu Zhenniang away and cursed: "You blind little whore, I didn't see that your mother-in-law couldn't walk, so you didn't go to serve her!"
Gu Zhenniang married into the Lin Mansion to pay off the family's debts. Lower than the average aunt.
Being used to Guo's training, people have already become numb.
She walked to the old lady's side without saying a word, lowered her head and said, "You two ladies, let go and let me do it."
Lin Xuelan heard this and said politely, "Then I'll bother Aunt Gu."
Then she gave a few instructions, I went to find Mr. Guo.
Lin Xueyi said gently: "Sister is injured, let her rest, and let's help grandma together."
Before Gu Zhenniang could answer, the old lady said: "Yi girl, you are still young, go find your mother.
" , she let go of Lin Xueyi's hand, walked directly behind Gu Zhenniang, knelt down unceremoniously, and put the shackles on her hands around Gu Zhenniang's neck.
Gu Zhenniang felt her back sink, and a fat thigh appeared around her waist.
He frowned, and finally bent down obediently and carried the person on his back.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qishuang shook her head and said to Lin Chengyao: "Husband, no wonder you would rather live a hard life with us than go back to the Lin family. Things in this rich family are really unsightly."
Lin Chengyao snorted coldly . "That Aunt Gu is a poor person, but my aunt's family has always been very good at teasing poor people."
Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing looked at each other after hearing this, with helplessness in their eyes.
Ever since Aunt Yu exposed the evil things the old lady had done over the years, Lin Chengzhang has completely gotten rid of the shackles of morality.
In fact, he could finally hate his aunt mother with peace of mind.
He no longer had to take into account his father's instructions before his death and maintain superficial harmony with that family.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lin Xuezhu hurriedly gathered everyone together.
From his own small basket, he took a pack of fat and thin bacon and a pack of white-flour steamed buns, and quietly distributed them to everyone.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions again, Lin Xuezhu calmly took the initiative to explain: "I got it from Zhuangzi last night. I ate it secretly so that no one could see it."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded in understanding.
If there are any unnecessary questions, don't ask any more questions and concentrate on cooking.
The bacon is fat but not greasy, salty and chewy. When eaten with steamed buns, everyone is a little confused by the aroma.
Mother Ma and Cui'er didn't want to eat, so they were scratched by Lin Xuezhu's eyes, so they shared a steamed bun.
The whole family had finished eating and was just satisfied when they saw a sudden commotion in the team ahead. Screams mixed with cries of pain instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The official ran over, brandishing his whip and yelling, "What are you doing?"
The people who were lying in a ball got up and walked away, revealing the old lady and Gu Zhenniang at the bottom, looking embarrassed.
When Gu Zhenniang saw the official approaching with a whip, she turned pale with fright. She trembled and said: "My lord, it was a civilian woman who slipped and fell. Please forgive me, sir."
"You are the only one who slipped and fell. " You have tripped so many people, I think you are tight." The officer said and was going to give her a few whips.
Wei Hong'er, who was on the side, rushed out, knelt down and hugged Guan Cha's calf, begging for mercy: "Guan Cha, please spare her, she fell down because she was so tired carrying the old lady on her back."
Guan Cha looked at the fat lady . He looked at Gu Zhenniang's weak body and looked at Liu Fufeng's weak appearance, obviously not believing it.
Wei Hong'er pinched Gu Zhenniang and said fiercely: "You are talking, do you really want to be whipped?"
After being reminded by her, Gu Zhenniang came to her senses and said weakly: "Yes, that's the case."
When the onlookers saw someone coming forward, they also helped: "We all saw her, a little daughter-in-law, carrying the fat old lady on her back. I can't even straighten my waist."
Chapter 24 It turns out that it's so good to yell at people
. There are many exiled prisoners in this team. Except for a few who really committed crimes, most of them were sentenced to death.
Although they have too much time to take care of themselves, they still have a conscience.
When encountering injustice, you can still say something fair as long as it doesn't harm you.
When the official saw that everyone was unanimous, he believed it.
He glared at the old lady fiercely and said, "It's you again."
The old lady knew she was in the wrong and quickly said, "Master, I'm old and I've been whipped again. I really can't walk. In order not to drag everyone down. This was the last time I acted. Please forgive me."
Seeing how pitiful she was, the officer felt a little compassion and yelled, "Where are the men from the Lin family?
" ." Mrs. Guo gloated, grabbing Lin Chengkun's hand and raising it.
Lin Chengkun shook her away fiercely and pointed in the direction of Lin Chengzhang and others, "They are too."
The official sneered and did not buy it at all. He just said to Lin Chengkun fiercely: "You should take good care of your mother. If anything else happens, , don't blame me for being rude to you!"
He said, swishing the whip twice.
Lin Chengkun was frightened, and quickly grabbed his mother up, dragging her forward with all her might.
The old lady staggered every step and staggered.
After walking for more than two hours, people who fainted from heat appeared one after another in the team.
Liu Kui had no choice but to order a rest.
Lin Xuezhu, with quick eyes and quick hands, found the largest tree nearby and took the whole family to occupy the space first.
Then he went to greet Lu, Yuan Xiu and others.
Mother Ma took the opportunity to take out the braided straw sandals and divided each person into a pair according to the size.
When Mrs. Guo saw this scene, she snorted disdainfully and said, "No wonder people say that concubines are inferior people. Look how happy they are wearing straw sandals, as if they have never seen anything before!"
Wei Hong'er was shocked by these words. Paying attention, she took advantage of the time when the official sent out the black steamed buns and quietly approached Lin Xuezhu.
He whispered: "Miss Xuezhu, can you teach me how to weave straw sandals? I'm willing to exchange today's steamed buns."
When Wei Hong'er was in the Lin Mansion, although she often fought with the Guo family, she never bullied her. Others.
Lin Xuezhu was not disgusted with her at all.
Along the way, seeing what she did, I developed a good impression of her.
So he said: "Momo, there's no need. I owe this favor first, and I will ask you back when I have the chance. If you are willing, I will let Aunt Ma teach you how to weave straw sandals."
Wei Hong'er thought for a while, nodded and said: " Okay, I do."
Lin Xuezhu gave orders to Mother Ma, then got up and went to the place where the officials were resting.
After a while, she came back carrying an iron pot and several water bags.
Water bladders are distributed by family.
One for Lin Chengzhang's family, one for Lin Chengyao's family, one for Lin Jiayuan's family, one for Grandma Ma's family, and the last one was given to the Lu family.
When other prisoners saw it, they reacted immediately.
Those who had money hurried to the officials to buy supplies, while those who had no money had to go to the creek to drink their fill.
Seeing this, Mrs. Guo jumped up and put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Lin Xuezhu, you little bitch, how dare you say that you didn't steal my family's money? If you didn't steal the money, how did you buy these things?"
As soon as she said this, the old lady Lin Chengkun and Lin Chengkun's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Even Lin Xuelan stared at Lin Xuezhu, looking like she wanted to eat her.
Before Lin Xuezhu could reply, Lin Chengzhang suddenly stood up.
With eyes full of anger, he said: "Ms. Guo, I respected you as my elder sister-in-law before, but I tolerated all the insults you did to my daughter. Who would have thought that not only do you not know how to restrain yourself, but you go even further. Do you really think that all our family members are dead?" "
As a well-known elegant scholar, Lin Chengzhang has never spoken so harshly to anyone.
Guo was stunned by him for a moment.
The old lady knew that her daughter-in-law was a strong-willed person, so she had no choice but to take action: "Zhang'er, you are a scholar and you must be fair. Since you said that your sister-in-law was wrong, let your daughter explain where her money comes from. "
Moral kidnapping is the old lady's specialty, and she has been using this trick to manipulate Lin Chengzhang these years.
I thought it would work this time too.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chengzhang only snorted when he heard the words and said coldly: "My daughter doesn't have to explain to anyone. If you say that my daughter stole money, then come up with evidence. Otherwise, don't spit on people here!"
Lin Chengzhang ! After saying that, he saw Lin Xuezhu giving him a thumbs up, and felt a little proud in his heart.
It turns out that it's really fun to quarrel with others. No wonder my daughter likes to quarrel with people from her direct lineage so much.
For the first time in her life, the old lady was disobeyed by her concubine, and she was so angry that she gasped.
I want to curse, but I don't have the strength.
At this moment, Mrs. Guo came to her senses and stabbed Lin Chengkun hard in the waist and said, "Your old lady was bullied, and you just kept silent like a coward?"
Lin Chengkun slapped her back angrily. Said: "It's not you who caused this problem. I have the support of the official behind me, so I'm afraid of you, stupid bitch? When have you ever benefited from challenging others? Why don't you just stay with me!"
Guo was dissatisfied, but I also admit that Lin Chengkun is right.
Lin Xuezhu, that little bitch, is quite clever.
However, there is still a long way to go, and she doesn't believe that the little bitch can always have smooth sailing.
Guo was full of resentment and had no place to vent her resentment. Seeing Wei Hong'er still sitting with Ma Ma, she scolded: "If you eat food from inside and outside, if you think that house is good, just ask them if they will take you in, bitch like you." Don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Wei Hong'er turned a deaf ear to Guo's scolding.
She discovered that no one among Lin Xuezhu and the others ate the black steamed buns given out by the official, so she guessed that they had another plan.
He immediately said goodbye and left quietly, looking for suitable cattails nearby. Mother
Ma looked at Lin Xuezhu and said, "Miss Xuezhu, we have finished knitting the straw sandals, what are we going to do next?"
Lin Xuezhu waved to her and said, "Come, let me tell you my plan."
In the past, I heard Lin Xuezhu say: "First of all, let's sleep at night. It's best to have a few straw mats. Secondly, we exiles can't walk on official roads and can only walk on trails. The wear and tear of our straw shoes must be very serious." , so one pair for each person is not enough. Finally, we have more and more things, and we must find strong vines to make baskets and make ropes. Do you understand what I said?"
Mother Ma nodded repeatedly and said: "Straw mat, straw sandals, hemp rope, and basket, I remember this."
"Come on!" Lin Xuezhu patted her on the shoulder, looking serious.
Mother Ma immediately took Cui'er to look for something.
Lin Xuezhu watched them off with a smile. When he turned around, he met the admiring gazes of the whole family.
"What's wrong?" She suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Oh, it's nothing." Everyone quickly looked away.
Lin Chengzhang cleared his throat and said to Yuan Xiu as if nothing had happened: "Uncle, I heard that my daughter has learned so many skills by often studying your manuscripts. You are so outstanding at such a young age, it really puts our generation to shame."
Chapter 25: I wonder if you can't just wear a cuckold casually?
Lin Chengzhang's sudden rainbow fart made Lin Xuezhu tense up.
Her father didn't have this style before, so why was he embarrassed in front of his uncle?
Will honest people be so terrible after they free their nature?
Lin Xuezhu secretly glanced at Yuan Xiu and found that he was looking at him with a smile on his face.
It's over, I'm going to cheat!
Lin Xuezhu immediately memorized the multiplication table in her heart anxiously.
Just after memorizing twenty-seventy-four, I heard Yuan Xiu say: "My father-in-law, you are so polite. Madam is so versatile, she must have a family background."
Good guy, I just bounced back and blew the rainbow fart back.
If she didn't know how dark his heart was, Lin Xuezhu would have believed it.
Lin Chengzhang was elated after hearing this, and exchanged some compliments with Yuan Xiu until Liu Kui gave the order to open the way.
Wen Xiuqing took the initiative and said to Mrs. Lu: "In-laws, let's go together so that we can have someone to look after us on the way."
Mrs. Lu did not refuse and nodded happily.
Lu Mo quietly moved closer to Lin Xuezhu, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Lin Xuezhu saw it and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Mo blushed and whispered: "Cousin, I can also work, but I don't know how to do it. Can cousin teach me?"
Lin Xuezhu smiled. .
This young boy is really interesting. Why should he be shy about asking for work?
She wished that a few more people could help.
So he asked: "Do you know how to do carpentry?"
Lu Mo thought for a moment, "When I went to the battlefield with my cousin, I once practiced crossbows. Does this count?"
Lin Xuezhu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly said: "Why don't you count it? Crossbows are precision weapons. In this case, you first look for wood and vines along the way, and then we will upgrade your cousin's straps."
Lu Mo was happy when he heard this. He is more willing to do things.
Lin Xuezhu gave him a small basket and assigned him to Mammy's team.
Then she grabbed a handful of hay and started weaving straw sandals according to Grandma Ma's method.
Mrs. Lu looked at Xiuzhu and asked: "Xuezhu, why are your straw sandals different from the ones we wear?"
Lin Xuezhu replied: "Strictly speaking, mine should be called straw boots. Auntie, look at the top of the boots. Leave an opening in the place and tie it up with straw rope, so that it can adapt to the shape of the legs and make it easier to put on and take off."
Ms. Lu was puzzled and asked: "It is so convenient to make straw shoes, why bother to make straw boots?"
Lin Xuezhu explained patiently: "We have just left the capital not long ago, and the road is relatively flat and easy to walk on. After a while, when we enter the mountains, we need to tie up our trouser legs. This can prevent us from being scratched by thorns and branches, and can also To prevent insects, these straw boots are very necessary."
Mrs. Lu had a look of realization on her face, and secretly sighed in her heart, this niece-in-law really has something on her mind.
Even more surprised than her was Yuan Xiu who was lying on Yan Da's back.
Putting on leggings is a routine operation in the military, so he naturally understands it.
But where did Lin Xuezhu learn this?
He has been fighting for many years, and he does have the habit of taking notes casually.
But those letters were military secrets, and they were always with him, so it was impossible for Lin Xuezhu to see them.
She lied to the Lin family.
What is she hiding?
Who is she?
Yuan Xiu's head was filled with questions and he couldn't help but look at Lin Xuezhu a few more times.
Lin Xuezhu didn't realize it. She bent down and put her straw boots on Mrs. Lu's legs. Then she smiled with satisfaction and ran to find Mother Ma.
Mother Ma was an old migrant worker, and with just a little guidance from Lin Xuezhu, she understood her intention.
He immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Miss Xuezhu, after we finish weaving the straw mat, Lao Nu and Cui'er will start weaving straw boots."
Very good, we can prioritize things clearly.
Lin Xuezhu was very pleased.
She folded a few wicker sticks and was about to weave a straw hat.
He heard someone shouting from behind: "Ms. Lin."
Lin Xuezhu turned around and saw Ma Xing rushing up with a large bundle of vines.
"Ms. Lin, do you want this?" Ma Xing asked.
Lin Xuezhu nodded.
Ma Xing laughed happily, "When I was resting just now, I saw your maid picking up stones and cutting vines, so I chopped some with a dagger. If Mrs. Lin needs it, just take it."
Lin Xuezhu reacted after he said it. come over.
The vines are very resilient, so it is difficult for Ma Ma and Tweety to collect them without tools.
As she took the vine, she asked tentatively: "Can I buy a dagger from you?" Ma Xing shook his head in embarrassment, "This is definitely not possible, but I can unshackle
Mrs. Lin and your family."
, he took the key and opened the shackles of Lin Xuezhu and others one by one.
Only Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo's shackles were left behind.
Lin Xuezhu knew that these two people had great skills and were the key targets of the officials' defense.
At present, this is already the greatest preferential treatment within Ma Xing's ability.
Lin Xuezhu pretended to take out ten taels of silver from her bun and quietly handed it to Ma Xing.
This time, Ma Xing acted very calmly, collected the money, and quickly returned to the official team.
Lin Jiayuan took over the vines and automatically and consciously took on the task of weaving baskets.
Lin Xuezhu continued to weave straw hats from wicker.
After a while, a straw hat with fluttering green leaves was knitted.
Lin Xuezhu held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, feeling a little awkward.
But conditions are limited, so it's not the time to be picky.
She directly put the straw hat on Lin Jiayuan's head.
Lin Jiayuan knew that she was weak, so she was given priority to be taken care of by her eldest niece, and she did not refuse.
He just sighed: "This hat is so cool. My eldest niece, you are so good at your craftsmanship."
"Well, it's good that aunt likes it."
Lin Xuezhu guessed that people at this time may not have any idea about cuckolds.
So he boldly made up another one and gave it to Yan Da.
Yan Da was startled and said hurriedly: "Miss Xuezhu can't help it. The master and his wife don't have it. How can I have it first?"
"You are the hardest worker." Lin Xuezhu said without any doubt: "I'll just wear it for you. Say more." It affects the speed of my editing."
Yan Da didn't dare to speak anymore. There was warm liquid sliding across the corner of his eyes. He didn't know if it was sweat or tears of emotion.
Seeing that everyone in the Lin family was busy working, Mrs. Lu only had her own hands free, so she folded a few willow branches and imitated Lin Xuezhu in knitting a straw hat.
As I was editing, I noticed that time seemed to go much faster.
The tired body and mind were gradually forgotten.
She knitted more and more, and by the time she set up camp, she had knitted a straw hat each for Yuan Xiu, Lu Mo and herself.
Seeing that the Lin family were all wearing straw hats, Lu felt that her hands were itchy and she couldn't perform well.
After thinking for a moment, she stared at Mother Ma who was weaving mats, and then moved closer to learn in silence.
Lu Mo saw it and thought it was funny, so he said to Yuan Xiu: "I heard that my aunt only liked dancing and writing in the past. She didn't like female celebrities the most. My cousin was very powerful, so I made my aunt change her gender."
Yuan Xiu remained silent and cold . He glanced at Lin Xuezhu coldly.
Thanks to her, the dozen or so of them walked around in the gloomy exile procession all afternoon.
Is she really naive or is she unaware that she can't wear a cuckold casually?
Chapter 26 The child is talking nonsense, it's because the adults didn't teach them well
and the exile team is stationed in a small forest.
With the tacit approval of the officials, the prisoners spread out in search of water and food.
This is the established rule on the exile road.
Someone saw Lin Xuezhu's family being unshackled, took out some money, and quietly went to find the official.
Freeing up your hands and feet makes it easier to do whatever you want.
The old lady lost her money, so the whole family had to carry on carrying the burden.
Mrs. Guo wanted to make trouble, but she saw that people from the same family didn't even look at her.
I can only curse in my heart.
The targets of her curse were busy preparing for their first night sleeping outdoors.
Lu Mo, as the only one who had the skills and was intact, shouldered the responsibility of hunting and got into the woods early.
The straw mat team was originally well organized, but somehow it turned into two teams competing, with Ma Ma leading Lu and Cui Er leading Lin Jiayuan.
The four women worked hard and took the initiative to isolate themselves from all interference from the outside world.
Wen Xiuqing from the wild vegetable group and Jiang Qishuang from the herbal group got together affectionately to sort out today's harvest.
Lin Chengzhang, Lin Chengyao and Yan Da all knew themselves and took the initiative to take on the important task of collecting firewood.
Because Lin Xuezhu said that there must be enough firewood to burn for one night to ensure that everyone does not get cold while sleeping.
Xiaodou Ding Lin Yuxuan was running around trying to help.
After being repeatedly rejected, his eyes finally fell on Yuan Xiu, who was sitting alone under a tree.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Lin Yuxuan squatted on the ground, holding his cheek, looking at Yuan Xiu curiously.
Looking at the little guy's chubby face, Yuan Xiu suppressed the coldness in his eyes and said briefly: "Grinding a stone."
Lin Yuxuan thought for a while and then asked: "Is it like my grandma sharpening a kitchen knife?"
"Absolutely, but A stone is not as sharp as a kitchen knife." Yuan Xiu replied.
If Lin Yuxuan realized something, he sighed, "So the eldest brother treats my eldest sister just like my father treats my mother."
Yuan Xiu's brows trembled slightly, and he asked a little stiffly: "How did you see that? "
Lin Yuxuan couldn't understand the alienation in his tone, and said innocently: "The eldest sister wants a dagger, but the official doesn't give it, so the eldest brother will grind a stone and give it to her, just like my mother has wanted for thirty years. No one else was selling ginseng, so my father bought her ginseng for ten years."
The little guy said so happily that he didn't notice that his mother had quietly come up behind him.
Jiang Qishuang looked at Yuan Xiu apologetically, picked up her son's belt, and carried him away.
Lin Yuxuan's short legs were fluttering in the air, and he said unconvinced: "Mom, I'm telling a story to my big brother."
Jiang Qishuang didn't give in to him just because he was a child, and replied: "What you said are completely different things. You Dad bought me 10-year-old ginseng because our family can't afford 30-year-old ginseng."
Lin Chengyao, who came back with a large armful of firewood, said: My wife is sorry, it's because my husband is incompetent.
Lin Xuezhu, who witnessed all this: Hahahaha...
Lin Xuezhu handed Yuan Xiu a water bag. The spiritual spring water in it was filled by her just running to a place where no one was around.
Yuan Xiu took the water bag and put it aside without drinking.
Lin Xuezhu didn't know why she was so blessed. She said without thinking, "Are you afraid that it will be inconvenient to relieve yourself after drinking too much water? It doesn't matter, there are so many of us, I can handle you alone."
Yuan Xiuwen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his throat suddenly rolled up, and he turned red from his face to the root of his neck.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xuezhu reacted for a moment and then realized that he was being abrupt.
However, Yuan Xiu's shy appearance gave her an inexplicable desire to tease him.
She chuckled and said, "Husband, why are you panicking? You and I are husband and wife, what can't we say?"
Yuan Xiu glanced at her coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He was actually teased by his two siblings!
When Lin Xuezhu saw this, he trembled all over.
After all, she got interested again and forgot that the man in front of her was a ruthless guy with evil intentions.
What should I do? Can it come back to full circle now?
Forget it, run away while this guy can't take care of himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Yuan Xiu was left with a confused look on his face: Is this woman playing hard to get with him?
Although Lin Xuezhu was running away, he was not running aimlessly.
She was going to leave everyone behind and conduct a little experiment.
Her gaze rested on a wild peach tree not far away.
Looking around to make sure there was no one around, she had an idea.
In an instant, the tree in front of me disappeared.
A huge deep hole was left in the bare land, and traces of tree roots could still be seen.
Lin Xuezhu's consciousness quickly entered the space.
Seeing the peach tree well planted in the ground, she jumped with joy.
Although the fruit of this wild peach tree is green and small, it is not suitable for consumption.
But as long as the plant can be planted directly when moved into the space, sooner or later she will achieve fruit freedom!
Thinking of this, she continued to explore forward with confidence.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, she discovered a lush bamboo forest.
The gentle breeze brings the fragrance of bamboo.
Lin Xuezhu couldn't walk.
Bamboo is something you can't see anymore if you go to the north.
She needs to be tighter.
With a thought in her mind, she moved forward in a snake shape while taking the surrounding bamboos into the space.
Until there is no more bamboo left.
Turning around to leave, she was immediately stunned by the sight in front of her.
Oh, so desolate.
Half the mountain is bald.
If she works harder, can she move all the Dog Emperor's empire into the space?
Lin Xuezhu smacked her tongue. She didn't dare to think about that scene, so she should hurry back to the camp.
At this time, in the camp, the official took the roster and was counting the number of people.
When he found Lin Xuezhu, he frowned.
"Where are the people?" he asked.
"I went out to look for food and haven't come back yet." Lin Chengzhang patted the uneasy Wen Xiuqing comfortingly and replied calmly.
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she gloated: "You must have run away, right?"
"We are all here, where can she run alone?" Lin Chengzhang glared at Mr. Guo impatiently.
If Guo wanted to say anything else, Lin Xuelan grabbed her sleeve.
Lin Xuelan said with a weak and innocent face: "Master, don't blame me, my sister may have been naughty and ran away, and she will be back soon."
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if unintentionally looking at Lin Xuelan's face. Sweep.
The official snorted coldly, "Naughty? Are there so many of us playing with her?"
Lin Xuelan seemed to be frightened and said tremblingly: "Master, please calm down, I, I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" Lin Chengyao, who had been watching coldly, said, "My eldest niece works hard for the family's livelihood, what do you mean? Did you see her being naughty?"
Lin Xuelan was speechless.
Lin Chengyao is her elder and she cannot openly contradict him.
Mrs. Guo hurriedly defended her daughter, "Third brother, you are so old, but you are still as smart as a child."
She relied on the fact that she was from a womanly family, so she expected that Lin Chengyao would not be able to argue with her.
But Jiang Qishuang said coldly from the side: "Children are talking nonsense, isn't it because adults haven't taught them well?"
Chapter 27 She is not a fool.
Mrs. Guo sincerely looks down on her husband's several concubine siblings, let alone Jiang Qishuang.
Seeing that she dared to refute him, he immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "When will it be your turn to intervene in our family's affairs?"
The official disliked this shrew who was ready to curse at any time and shouted, "Are you all tight-lipped?"
Guo said. His face was full of anger, but he did not dare to say a word.
The officer's whip was very painful.
She didn't want to suffer it again.
Just when the atmosphere was heavy, a muffled voice came from behind them.
"My skin is tight, who can help me?"
Everyone looked back and saw a group of green bamboos moving towards them at a turtle speed.
Lu Mo reacted quickly and rushed forward immediately.
Then came Yan Da, Lin Chengzhang and Lin Chengyao.
Several people took the bamboos respectively, and Lin Xuezhu's pitiful little face was revealed.
She put the basket she was carrying on the ground, revealing a basket full of bamboo shoots.
"There are bamboo shoots, why didn't I find it?" someone exclaimed.
Lin Xuezhu stroked her chest and said out of breath, "It's far away."
Before she could catch her breath, she quickly poured out half a basket of bamboo shoots and handed it to the official.
With a sincere face, he said: "My lord, don't be offended. If you go further north, you won't be able to eat this."
The officer saw that she was a weak woman who had brought so many things back, and she was also understanding of human nature. He didn't say anything at the moment, collected the bamboo shoots and left. people.
Lin Xuezhu took advantage of her official duties and glanced in Lin Xuelan's direction with a very gossipy look.
He smiled and said, "My cousin is having fun. Otherwise, why would you come back empty-handed? You are young, so you can use your energy to pick things up, right?"
This family is a master who is used to being served.
The old lady, Guo Shi and Lin Chengkun were all inactive.
Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi are inseparable from each other.
Gu Zhenniang found some wild fruits.
This would have been eaten by a hungry family.
Lin Xuezhu's sarcasm stung Lin Xuelan, and she argued: "It's not because I have shackles on my hands and feet, making it difficult to move..."
"Who shot the pheasant?" Lin Xuezhu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, pointing to the fire, asked the cleaned pheasant.
Hearing that there are pheasants, the eyes of those who are directly descended from the family are about to pop out.
That's meat, it's fragrant and filling, and you won't get acid reflux after eating it.
It's a pity that it is other people's meat, and they can only envy and hate it.
Yan Da said in a rough voice: "Lu Mo beat him. We don't know why he is so powerful."
After being praised by Yan Da, Lu Mo's face turned red again.
He lowered his head and said with some reluctance: "There was originally a nest of hares, but unfortunately they ran too fast and I didn't have any tools, so I didn't catch them."
"That's good. The animals are all alert. Anyway, I I don't know how to catch it." Yan Da said, about to put the pheasant on the fire.
"Wait!" Lin Xuezhu quickly stopped him and pointed to the bamboo shoots in the basket, "Let's pack the bamboo shoots, stuff them in the chicken's belly with the wild vegetables, then wrap them in bamboo leaves, then yellow mud, and bury them in the fire. Let's roast a beggar's chicken."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who heard them swallowed subconsciously.
Bamboo shoots and chicken are wrapped in bamboo leaves and grilled. How fragrant it is.
After Lin Xuezhu finished catching the greedy insects, he found a thick wooden stick and pulled out the ashes from under the fire.
"Daughter, what do you want to do?" Lin Chengzhang asked.
"I'll extract some salt." Lin Xuezhu replied.
Hearing the word salt, the whole family's hearts were lifted.
Salt, that is something controlled by the state.
Those who sell salt secretly may have their homes ransacked or beheaded.
It can't be done, it can't be done.
When Lin Xuezhu saw everyone looking nervous, he just took action without explaining.
She took the boiling water and poured the plant ashes into it.
When the soaking is almost dissolved, filter out the ash with a cloth, and boil the remaining water directly on the fire.
As the water gradually dries up, white traces appear on the bottom of the pot.
Lin Xuezhu used pieces of wood to scrape off the white stuff and showed it to everyone.
Lin Chengyao stretched out his little finger and dipped a little, then brought it to his mouth to taste.
His eyes suddenly lit up, "It's salty, it's really salty."
Everyone looked at Lin Xuezhu in surprise.
They thought she was joking, but they didn't expect that salt could actually be found in the ashes of plants and trees.
Lin Chengzhang asked with a sigh on his face: "Is this the method I learned from my uncle's handwriting again?"
Lin Xuezhu paused when he heard this, and glanced at Yuan Xiu with some embarrassment.
Yuan Xiu also glanced at her coldly, his eyes clearly saying: Haha.
Lin Xuezhu swallowed hard.
Just listen to Lin Chengzhang enthusiastically praise: "My uncle is well-educated and knowledgeable, and he is capable of literature and martial arts. He really puts our generation to shame."
Lin Xuezhu's mouth was filled with bitterness.
If there hadn't been so many people, she would have really wanted to tell her father, stop helping your daughter commit suicide.
Those who are knowledgeable and capable in both literary and martial arts are all exiled. Isn't this just adding salt to the wounds of the darkened male protagonist?
Fortunately, Lin Chengzhang was just polite and let it go.
Lin Xuezhu found a big leaf and carefully poured the scraped bottom of the pot onto it.
The potassium salt extracted from this kind of plant ash is not good for the body if consumed for a long time.
As a big salt store who emptied the treasury's salt warehouse, she naturally didn't know how to use it.
The reason for going through so much trouble to extract it is just to let the salt in the space pass through.
Without anyone noticing, she quietly changed the salt.
Then take a small handful and smear it on the chicken.
At this moment, Wen Xiuqing and others had cleaned up the bamboo shoots.
The whole family worked together to bury the pheasant.
Lin Xuezhu waved to Lu Mo and said, "You said there are hares nearby?"
"Yes, it's in the forest." Lu Mo pointed in the direction.
Lin Xuezhu stood up and said, "Let's go, bring the fire sticks, and let's catch rabbits."
"What?" Not only Lu Mo, but the whole family was shocked.
Wen Xiuqing said: "Daughter, the chicken will be roasted in a while. Why don't you eat before leaving?"
Lin Xuezhu waved her hand, "You eat first, Granny Ma, help me twist some hemp rope."
"Okay." Mother Ma responded happily.
Their Miss Xuezhu is going to show off her magical powers again.
Seeing Lin Xuezhu and Lu Mo disappear quickly into the woods, Yuan Xiu curled his lips slightly.
It seemed that his guess was right. This Lin Xuezhu was definitely not the idiot from before.
But how did she do it?
She clearly has a face exactly like that idiot.
Lin Xuezhu had no idea that she had been suspected.
Under Lu Mo's guidance, she quickly arrived at the place where the hares were.
After searching nearby for a while, she found several cave entrances.
It is said that cunning rabbits have three burrows, especially hares, which are very thieves.
Lin Xuezhu selected two cave entrances and asked Lu Mo to block the other cave entrances with large rocks.
Then, she and Lu Mo guarded the entrance of a cave, she was responsible for setting fire, and Lu Mo was responsible for harvesting.
She often played this kind of game when she was a child.
Therefore, the movements are very skillful.
Seeing Lu Mo stunned for a moment, he was secretly worried.
Does this count as seeing his cousin's precious notes? Will he be silenced?
Chapter 28 Silently blackened in the dead of night.
When Lin Xuezhu and Lu Mo carrying two rabbits returned to the camp, the beggar's chicken had just been roasted.
Yan Da smashed the yellow mud with a wooden stick, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves mixed with the fragrance of pheasant meat came out.
Attracting the attention of everyone around him.
"Lu Mo, you come and divide it." Lin Chengzhang said.
Since Lu Mo brought the pheasant, he naturally has the right to distribute it.
Everyone had no objection to this proposal and all looked at Lu Mo's face.
Lu Mo's face turned red instantly.
He thought for a while, tore off a chicken drumstick and gave it to the youngest Lin Yuxuan, and gave the second drumstick to Yuan Xiu, who was injured.
Take the remaining parts apart and take one piece for each person.
He only kept a chicken head.
Seeing how sensible this child was, Lin Xuezhu applauded and took out a roasted suckling pig from the space.
in front of a stunned crowd.
The Lin family has formed a habit of shrinking back quickly when seeing this, using their bodies to block the outside world's view.
Lin Chengzhang lowered his head and asked quietly: "Where did this come from?"
"Old Madam Zhuangzi is in the right place." Lin Xuezhu asked calmly: "You don't think I just ordered some bacon when I go out, do you?
Lin Chengyao clicked his tongue when he heard this and asked modestly: "Niece, where did you hide such a big roasted suckling pig?" Lin
Xuezhu smiled mysteriously, "Uncle, it's not good for you to know too much. Eat it quickly."
Lin Chengyao thought about it, no wonder his eldest niece was obsessed with basket weaving, it seemed to be useful.
Without saying much, he lowered his head and started eating.
The pheasant meat was salty and juicy, and although the roasted suckling pig was cold, it became crispy and oily when roasted next to the fire.
Seeing that Lin Xuezhu only ate bamboo shoots, Lin Chengzhang said with concern: "My daughter eats meat. Only by eating meat can you gain strength."
Lin Xuezhu couldn't tell him that there was plenty of food in her space, so she wouldn't compete with them.
She had no choice but to imitate her original temperament and said a little pretentiously: "My little fairy doesn't want to eat so much meat. What if she gets fat?"
After saying that, she saw Yuan Xiu cast a disgusted look at her.
Lin Xuezhu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly corrected her words, "Actually, it's because she ate too much meat and couldn't digest it."
Lin Chengyao's doctor's nerves immediately activated and asked, "Is the eldest niece constipated?"
After saying that, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Shut up in embarrassment.
Lin Xuezhu, however, had a calm face and thought for a moment before saying, "Speaking of the problem of constipation, I have to ask my uncle to prepare some intestinal herbs, just in case."
She couldn't think of it without mentioning this.
After a while, there are no more wild vegetables to dig out, and if you don't keep them all, someone will have constipation.
"Ahem." Mr. Lu coughed twice.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, she waved her hands quickly, "Sorry, I choked."
Although she has basically eliminated her prejudice against Lin Xuezhu, the shocking words the child made from time to time still made her a little uncomfortable. .
Take your time.
Lu made up her mind secretly.
The family finished their meal, wiped the oil from their mouths, and went to work again.
Lu Mo took out the small piece of wood he had collected all day long, spread it out in front of Lin Xuezhu, and asked shyly: "Cousin, how do I modify my cousin's straps?"
Hearing that there was work to do, Yan Da also joined in.
Lin Xuezhu found a small stick and drew a sketch on the sand.
It roughly looks like a sliding pole, but it was named a back chair by Lin Xuezhu.
Lu Mo and Yan Da looked at it very seriously and even made some suggestions during the process.
Lin Xuezhu finished the design, patted the soil on her hands, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I lack the tools, so I can only make a rough one."
As soon as she finished speaking, a stone chip with a sharp edge suddenly fell from the sky.
Lin Xuezhu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked up, and saw Yuan Xiu's eyes coldly sweeping across her face and looking at Lu Mo.
Hoo, man!
He obviously has a delicate mind, but he still wants to act aloof.
Lu Mo picked up the stone piece in surprise and immediately tried to cut the bamboo pole.
He knew how to use force. Although the stone flakes were not as sharp as forging metal, they were still barely usable.
Lu Mo glanced at Lin Xuezhu happily, and immediately started fighting with Yan Da.
Lin Chengyao took Jiang Qishuang's shift and dried medicinal materials over a bonfire.
Jiang Qishuang and Wen Xiuqing joined the straw mat group.
Soon, the two straw mats were completed.
According to the principle of giving priority to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, one was given to Yuan Xiu, and the other was given to Lin Jiayuan and Lin Yuxuan.
Lin Yuxuan was sleepy, curled up on the straw mat, rubbed his eyes for a while and fell asleep.
Lin Chengzhang added some dead grass and branches to the fire, sat by the fire and twisted the hemp rope.
Lin Xuezhu collected everyone's water bags, ran to a deserted place and filled them with spiritual spring water.
When he came back, he saw that Yuan Xiu had gotten a piece of stone from somewhere and was grinding it on a rough big stone.
The clear profile of the face, with its lines softened a bit under the firelight.
Lin Xuezhu felt that his eyes seemed to be unable to move, and he licked his dry lips unconsciously.
After a while, she came back to her senses.
I kept saying to myself: That's just a savage from the Neolithic Age. Calm down, you have to calm down.
She looked away and shook her head.
"Xue Zhu, if you are sleepy, go sleep on Xiu'er's mat." Madam Lu said.
Lin Xuezhu's heart, which had calmed down for a while, started to rise again.
Seeing her stunned, Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "What, are you shy?"
After her teasing, everyone looked at Lin Xuezhu's face with a smile.
Lin Xuezhu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Although, she coveted Yuan Xiu's beauty.
But sharing a table in front of everyone is still a bit beyond her acceptance range.
It seems that if these ancient people get into trouble, they will be much more powerful than modern people.
Lin Xuezhu cleared her throat, spread some hay a little away from the fire, and lay down with her back to everyone.
She heard laughter behind her, blushed and said, "You guys should go to bed early." Then her consciousness entered the space.
Cut off from the outside world, her world was finally pure.
Looking at the vast bamboo forest, she thought, "It would be great if there was a bamboo house."
A bamboo house appeared in front of her.
Lin Xuezhu suddenly became interested.
She turned the spiritual spring into a stream, and added some daily necessities such as bamboo beds and bamboo cabinets to the bamboo house.
Although her body is not yet able to enter the space and enjoy these facilities.
But just taking a look at it will make you feel much happier. It's so healing.
Lin Xuezhu played for a while before falling asleep with unfinished thoughts.
When I woke up, it was already late at night.
She opened her eyes and saw everyone had fallen asleep.
Only Yuan Xiu, with his back leaning against a big tree, expressionlessly chipping bamboo with stones.
There was already a row of sharp bamboo sticks at his feet.
The firelight reflected in his eyes, forming a dark whirlpool.
Lin Xuezhu's heart skipped a beat: Did the male protagonist quietly turn dark in the dead of night?
Horrible, really terrible.
Do you want to go over and interrupt?
Chapter 29: As
expected, there is no good person in your Lin family. Lin Xuezhu struggled mentally for a long time, and finally decided to intervene in the blackening process of Yiyi Yuanxiu.
After all, if the male protagonist turns into a cold-blooded antisocial personality, it will pose a huge threat to her personal safety.
She did this not to be nosy, but just to make her life easier.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu rubbed her eyes, pretended to have just woken up and looked for water, walked to Yuan Xiu and sat down.
She picked up a bamboo stick and said drowsily: "This thing is good, it can be used to set traps for hunting."
Yuan Xiu didn't even raise his head, and said quietly: "It can also be used to kill people."
Lin Xuezhu shuddered, Subconsciously, he stayed away from him and said with a dry smile: "You, who are you going to kill?"
Yuan Xiu didn't answer, and the movements in his hands became faster.
Just when Lin Xuezhu was scratching his head and couldn't figure out how to continue the conversation.
I heard a rustling sound coming from behind me.
She subconsciously stretched out her head to look, and saw Lin Chengkun getting up from the ground, walking a few steps to the sleeping Gu Zhenniang, and covering her mouth with his hand.
Gu Zhenniang woke up with a start, struggled reflexively, and calmed down when she saw it was Lin Chengkun.
Lin Chengkun winked at her and took the lead to walk to the nearby woods.
Gu Zhenniang looked at the sky blankly, stood up like a zombie, and followed Lin Chengkun into the woods.
After a while, another rustling sound came.
Lin Xuezhu was shocked.
No way?
They are in exile.
Lin Chengkun's lower body is so full that he can't even sit still in this situation!
He is truly worthy of being married to nine aunts.
Saying that sex makes him faint is not an injustice to him.
Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes in disgust and frowned in disgust.
Just when she was hesitating whether to have a little "surprise" to make that bad old man feel embarrassed.
A suspicious blush appeared on Yuan Xiu's face, and his hand that was cutting bamboo sticks stopped.
Lin Xuezhu snickered.
Hey, the darkened male protagonist still has an innocent side.
Before she could finish her sigh, there was a whoosh, and a bamboo stick flew past her eyes and went straight to the grove behind her.
"Ah!" Immediately, Lin Chengkun's miserable cry came from the forest.
This sound was particularly explosive in the quiet night, instantly waking up many people nearby.
Of course, this also includes people from the same lineage.
Lin Chengkun was seen running out of the grove with his buttocks covered, naked.
The piercing eyes made the women scream in fright.
"What's going on?" The official on night duty came over from not far away.
Lin Xuezhu quickly used her sleeves as cover and put all the bamboo sticks under Yuan Xiu's feet into the space.
Then he tilted his head and leaned against the tree to take a nap.
Yuan Xiu, who saw her flowing movements, curled his lips meaningfully.
This woman can really pretend.
When the officer saw Lin Chengkun's appearance, his brows furrowed into a "Chuan" shape and his fists became hardened.
When he saw Gu Zhenniang walking out numbly while arranging her clothes behind him, there was something else she didn't understand.
Before the officer could speak, Mrs. Guo howled loudly.
"Gu Zhenniang, you little bitch, you are still seducing a man at this time. Is this how your mother taught you?" While howling, he rushed up to grab Gu Zhenniang's hair and slapped her face hard.
Gu Zhenniang's face was swollen after being beaten, and she subconsciously blocked Guo's hand.
However, Mrs. Guo was used to acting out, and the more Gu Zhenniang blocked her, the more ruthless she would be.
Soon, the sharp nails left several blood marks on Gu Zhenniang's face.
Lin Xueyi was so frightened that she shrank into Lin Xuelan's arms.
The old lady turned a blind eye to all this.
Just as Wei Hong'er was about to say something, Lin Shengjing beside her had already rushed out.
Lin Shengjing grabbed Guo's collar and pulled it back hard.
It's okay for Guo to fall down a big butt.
When she saw the person clearly, she understood something instantly and looked at Lin Chengkun with a look of gloating.
Lin Chengkun's face suddenly turned black into charcoal.
"Zhenniang, are you okay?" Lin Shengjing supported the shaky Gu Zhenniang, with no concealment of pity in his eyes.
Gu Zhenniang, who had always been calm, became panicked and frightened when she met Lin Shengjing's eyes.
When Wei Hong'er saw this, she quickly reacted, stepped forward, grabbed Lin Shengjing's ears, and slapped her twice.
Gu Zhenniang took the opportunity to break away from Lin Shengjing.
She wanted to run away, her eyes wandering between the old lady, Lin Chengkun and Lin Xuelan, but found that there was no place for her anywhere.
She smiled miserably, pointed at Lin Chengkun and said, "As expected, there is no good person in your Lin family."
After saying that, she used all her strength and rushed towards the nearest big tree.
"Zhenniang!" Lin Shengjing exclaimed.
Gu Zhenniang didn't stop at all, she was about to hit her head against a big tree and get bloodied.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past and pounced on Gu Zhenniang.
Just before she hit the tree, he threw her to the ground.
Gu Zhenniang rolled twice on the ground before she saw clearly that the person coming was Lin Xuezhu.
"Miss Xuezhu." Her eyes were red, and her grievances suddenly burst out when she met Lin Xuezhu's gaze.
She hugged Lin Xuezhu and cried loudly.
Lin Xuezhu patted her back and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, nothing is difficult. Others can despise you, but you should not despise yourself."
"Miss Xuezhu, I have no way out." Gu Zhenniang was trembling. Said: "I was sent to pay off debts. My identity is in the hands of the master, and he won't let me leave. I want to run away, but my parents think I am a burden and want to send me away. I can run away again." Where to go? Miss Xuezhu, I have no choice but to die!"
Lin Xuezhu waited for her to cry for a while, then slowly let her go, holding her face firmly with both hands, forcing her to calm down.
"Listen to me." Lin Xuezhu said word by word: "If others ask you to die, you can still struggle; but if you want to die, no one can save you."
Seeing that Gu Zhenniang stopped crying, she continued: "Now I There are two ways for you. The first is to commit suicide and disappear quietly from this world. No one will even shed a tear for you. The second is to follow me and exchange labor for food. It may be very tiring. But you can live with self-respect. How do you choose?"
Gu Zhenniang couldn't believe what she heard.
Although she lived in seclusion when she was in the Lin Mansion, she also knew that Miss Xuezhu had a free-spirited temperament.
Such a person would actually say such things to her!
Without even thinking about it, Gu Zhenniang nodded wildly and said, "I'll follow you."
As long as she could escape from Lin Chengkun's clutches, she could be a slave or a maid.
"Okay." Lin Xuezhu smiled from the bottom of his heart.
She acted bravely when she saw justice, of course because she couldn't stand the various behaviors of her direct descendants, but she also felt sorry for Gu Zhenniang's miserable life experience.
But she chose to keep Gu Zhenniang because she really needed people to do the work.
Chapter 30: My mother is a master of hiding.
Lin Xuezhu calls on Ma Ma and Cui Er to take Gu Zhenniang away.
Just as the three of them turned around, she suddenly remembered something and called Gu Zhenniang again.
Gu Zhenniang looked at her nervously.
Then she said with a serious face: "You just said something that sounded very harsh to me. I hope you can correct it in the future."
"What did you say?" Gu Zhenniang became even more panicked.
Could it be that Miss Xuezhu regretted taking her in?
Just then, Lin Xuezhu said, "When you scolded them for not being good people, you also scolded our family."
Gu Zhenniang reacted for a while before she understood, and she almost knelt down to apologize to Lin Xuezhu.
Mother Ma, with her sharp eyes and quick hands, caught her and said with a smile, "Our lady is just trying to vent her anger on you."
Gu Zhenniang suddenly realized, and her eyes suddenly turned red again.
Mother Ma and Cui'er quickly coaxed and persuaded her to settle down.
Lin Xuezhu saw that the official was still standing nearby and said with a smile: "My lord, I have caused trouble for you. From now on, Gu Zhenniang will be under my care. If anything happens, I will take care of her. I will not trouble my lord anymore." "
When the officials saw that no one was killed and someone came out to calm the matter, they didn't bother to take care of it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chengkun, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, was not happy anymore.
Holding a bamboo stick, he stood up and said: "My lord, this is inappropriate. Someone plotted against me just now, so we can't just let it go. Besides, Gu Zhenniang's body deed is still with me, so I don't want to let it go." Let her go, she won't want to go anywhere."
The officer was about to go back to sleep. Hearing this, he stopped impatiently and asked: "What do you want?"
Lin Chengkun said confidently: "Find the person who plotted against me. , give him a heavy punishment. Also, let Gu Zhenniang come back."
The officer was angry and was about to whip him.
I heard the old lady say: "My lord, although my son has behaved a bit promiscuously, the laws of our court do not stipulate that concubines are not allowed to serve their husbands while he is in exile. But the person who plotted against my son had sinister intentions. He clearly wanted to Make things worse, alarm the officials, and disrupt order."
As she said that, she glanced at Lin Xuezhu and said, "Everyone saw it today. Only Lin Xuezhu went out and found the bamboo, and the one who plotted against my son was a bamboo. Sign. Then it's self-evident who is instigating this dispute?"
When she said this, the official looked at Lin Xuezhu with some suspicion.
Lin Xuezhu had an innocent look on his face, looked at the blood-stained bamboo stick with disgust, then turned back to look at his own bamboo, and covered his mouth in shock.
"Oh my god, someone dared to steal something under the official's nose!" She said boldly: "Master, I was the only one who brought back the bamboo, and the old lady's family, who had always been at odds with us, had someone stabbed with bamboo sticks. Hurt. With such an obvious frame-up, could it be that the person who committed the crime took Guan Ye as a fool? "
The bamboo is still in your hands. Who do you think framed me?" The old lady was angry! road.
Lin Xuezhu was indifferent and said lightly: "That's strange. Did I know that your concubine has to serve her husband and stay up in the middle of the night waiting to throw bamboo sticks at them?"
One sentence immediately reminded Gu Zhenniang.
She plucked up the courage and stood up and said: "The official clearly knows that the commoner woman was woken up by the elder and taken away in her sleep. It is even less likely that Miss Xuezhu could have predicted it. If anyone knows about this, I am afraid that Only the lord."
"You little bitch, you actually helped that bitch bite us!" Guo cursed with her hands on her hips.
Lin Xuezhu ignored her and bowed to the official Yingying: "Master, since the people in the Lin family were imprisoned, although my concubine's lineage and the direct lineage have conflicts from time to time, it is all because of being humiliated and framed by them, in order to seek freedom. We have no choice but to fight back. We have never taken the initiative to provoke them. I believe everyone can see what is right and what is wrong, and justice lies in the hearts of the people."
After she finished speaking, the family closest to them said, "Yes, Mr. Lin. The lady went to all the trouble to carry the bamboo back to make something for her injured husband. We all heard it last night."
After the man finished speaking, Wen Xiuqing took over the conversation solemnly and said, "My lord, my little girl is in trouble because of the sun. She was too busy and went to bed very early last night. Besides, if she, a junior, encounters something unspeakable to her elders and avoids it, how can she move forward?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xuezhu said. Momo gave her mother a thumbs up in her heart.
Otherwise, the masters hide their secrets.
Despite her mother's usual appearance of abiding by her duties, she would not stand up for anything and would leave everything to her father to handle.
But as soon as he opens his mouth, he is cruel and accurate.
You can both profit from yourself and ridicule your enemies.
Seeing that the official was persuaded, the old lady was unwilling to give in and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lin Xuelan.
"Master." Lin Xuelan said calmly: "This matter must be a misunderstanding. No matter whether we are the direct descendants or the common descendants, we are always the Lin family. I believe that Sister Xuezhu will not attack my father. However, Aunt Gu is indeed me My father's concubine, Sister Xuezhu, took Aunt Gu away without my father's permission, which was a bit disrespectful to her elders. "
This is another classic moral kidnapping.
However, Lin Xuezhu did not accept this trick.
She sighed deeply and said to Lin Chengkun: "Uncle, you just said that you still have Gu Zhenniang's body deed in your hand, so can you show it to us?"
She promised that as long as Lin Chengkun dared to take it out, she would dare to do it in front of everyone. Let him pay for it.
In order to ensure an effective distance of five meters, she even took a few steps forward.
However, Lin Chengkun opened his mouth and said with a weak tone: "When the house was ransacked, everything on my body was taken away, not to mention the body deed of Gu Zhenniang."
"Oh, it turns out that uncle does not have a body deed. Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "Then according to the laws of our court, Gu Zhenniang can choose whether to be sold into slavery or exiled with her master's family. Should we listen to Gu Zhenniang's own opinion?"
"A civilian woman is willing to be a slave. " , serve Miss Xuezhu for life," Gu Zhenniang said anxiously.
"How can you, an exiled prisoner, have any slaves?" Guo immediately retorted.
Lin Xuezhu pouted, "Uncle has a concubine, why can't I have a slave? What's more, I don't intend to let Gu Zhenniang be a slave. She insists on being a slave. What can I do?"
Mrs. Guo gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "You This is a strong statement!"
Lin Xuezhu smiled warmly, but said in an angry tone: "Uncle, it's hard for me to make a living. My niece, I'm doing this to reduce the burden on your elders. Not only did you not thank me, but you accused me?"
As she said that, her face changed, her eyes swept across Lin Chengkun and Lin Shengjing, and she said quietly: "Whoever dares to have Gu Zhenniang's idea again, Lu Mo, just give it to me. I will deal with it severely!"
