The green rain falls on the city, and the midnight is approaching.
The watchmen, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats on their heads, one carrying a lamp and the other holding a bamboo clapper, were on duty in the streets of Beiliangyu as usual.
As the lights lit up, the two of them had arrived in front of the Lin Mansion.
The old watchman was about to ring the bamboo stick, but the young lantern holder on the side took his arm and said in his ear: "Old Zhang, have you heard? The Lin family is selling off their property. you say......"
Before he finished hearing the words, the old watchman hurriedly shook him off with a flick of his arm, and stopped in front of the Lin Mansion pretending to be nonchalant.
The sound of bamboo sticks was heard, and then the watchman shouted at the top of his lungs: "Gentleman, don't work, it's midnight!"
There were two more bamboo bangs, and the old watchman pulled the people beside him and quickly walked to the dark place in front.
After looking around, he took a bamboo stick and hit the boy with the lantern on the head.
"How many times have I said it! Don't discuss right and wrong in front of other people's doors! Forget it if you are an ordinary person, how dare you discuss the Lin family's affairs in front of the door? Do you think you have lived too long?"
Covering the place where he was knocked, the young man defended: "Master Lin Mansion is quite good..."
At these words, the old watchman nodded in agreement, but then shook his head and said: "The master of the Lin Mansion is indeed kind and generous, but don't forget, she destroyed the Liu family in one night!"
After once again confirming that there was no one around, the old watchman continued: "As long as it has anything to do with her family's affairs, this palace master will never show mercy. The Lin family's property was sold for Lin Shangnan's legacy. If you discuss this matter at the door of Lin Mansion, you are seeking death!"
The old watchman lectured the young man in front of him, and was about to remind him to be careful in his words and deeds, when a cold voice came from above the two of them.
"Have you said enough?"
The two watchmen were frightened and looked up. Unexpectedly, the second young master of the Lin Mansion was standing on the high wall overlooking the two of them. His dark eyes were full of displeasure.
Seeing this, the old watchman quickly pulled the young man back a few steps, stood in a brighter place and bowed quickly, saying that the child was young and ignorant, and he would definitely not be able to do it next time.
But I never thought that the second young master on the high wall just said "let's go" lightly.
The two of them didn't dare to think too much, so they said thank you and ran towards the distance. In the darkness, they could still hear the old watchman's complaints.
Seeing the two of them walking away, our second young master also jumped up and ran quickly towards the depths of Lin Mansion.
His target was a separate courtyard in the Lin Mansion, where Lin Weiyang's boudoir was located.
At this moment, the house was still lit with oil lamps and the door was wide open. Lin Weiyang didn't even change out of her daytime clothes. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Yuan who was sleeping on the bed with a sad face.
The breeze mixed with the coolness of the rainy night continued to blow into Lin Weiyang's boudoir, and the lights on the table also swayed in the wind.
Logically speaking, no one should feel hot, but beads of sweat the size of soybeans were constantly appearing on Lin Yuan's forehead, causing Lin Weiyang to wipe him frequently.
Outside the door, there was the sound of footsteps treading water, and Lin Weiyang knew that Lin Sanli was back, which meant that midnight was here.
But looking at Lin Yuan who had been sleeping on the bed for a day, she really couldn't bear to wake him up, but Lin Yuan promised to wake him up no matter what.
Helpless, Lin Weiyang gently shook Lin Yuan and called "Xiao Yuan" softly.
Lin Yuan made no movement.
Lin Sanli walked quickly into the door and saw that Lin Yuan hadn't woken up yet. He walked directly to the bed, grabbed Lin Yuan's collar and pulled his upper body up. Under Lin Weiyang's wide eyes, The right hand is raised high.
The sound of "pop" was clear and loud.
"It hurts!"
Lin Yuan woke up.
Lin Yuan, who had just woken up, had hazy eyes. He had no time to react. He only felt the burning pain on his face, so he hurriedly lay on Lin Weiyang's legs and rubbed the side of his face where he had been beaten.
Lin Weiyang hugged Lin Yuan in distress. She was speechless. She looked at Lin Sanli with a strange expression and said, "Sanli, you..."
"He said it himself, Zishi." Lin Sanli said still indifferently.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head and pointed at Lin Sanli, but he didn't know how to refute him. He could only cover his face and continue to bury himself in Lin Weiyang's legs, letting Lin Weiyang comfort her.
After fussing for some time, Lin Yuan felt his face felt better, so he dragged his tired body and leaned on the bed.
"Sanli, have you found him?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lin Sanli nodded to indicate that he had caught him, and then pointed his chin to indicate that the person was in the room.
"He did it himself."
This sentence made Lin Yuan a little confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Knowing that Lin Sanli was not good at words, Lin Weiyang wiped Lin Yuan's remaining sweat and said: "This person took the initiative to find Sanli and asked Sanli to bring him to Lin Mansion to see you...and , you seem to know him."
Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, and his thoughts suddenly became much clearer. He looked like he suddenly understood, tilted his head and shouted behind him: "Old man! Come out!"
Lin Yuan was greeted by a burst of laughter from a middle-aged man.
He walked slowly to the bed, and his slightly wrinkled face came into Lin Yuan's eyes.
The person brought back by Lin Sanli was actually the person who lived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.
Lin Yuan sat on the bed and looked meaningfully at the middle-aged man in front of him. He groped his chin and looked at him for a long time.
After a while, Lin Yuan suddenly laughed out loud, and the old man laughed too.
Holding his chin, Lin Yuan looked at the old man and said, "Let me guess, it's the Lin family who is looking for you to give me some trouble."
The old man nodded with a smile, sat down at the table and poured tea.
"Yes and no," said the old man.
"How do you say this?" Lin Yuan asked.
The old man held the teacup in his hand and said: "The person who came to see me is indeed the Lin family's housekeeper, but he didn't say who ordered him to. I tried a few words to find out, but to no avail."
"Then why are you helping them?" Lin Weiyang's dissatisfied voice sounded. To be honest, she really wanted to beat him up this afternoon, but Lin Yuan said not to hurt this person, so she had to endure it.
"It's probably because of Xiaohu and the others."
It was not the old man who answered Lin Weiyang, but Lin Yuan.
His face suddenly turned ugly. Among the children who were learning from the old man, some of them lived within the Lin family's sphere of influence. This was the only reason that could force him to attack him.
The Lin family actually used a few children to threaten the old man!
As soon as he thought of this, anger arose in Lin Yuan's heart, and even Lin Weiyang's face was filled with contempt.
He let out a sigh of relief. Since the old man helped them, the little kids should be safe.
"Then what do you mean by 'yes and no'?"
The old man didn't answer in a hurry. He calmly took a sip of tea and then said, "I always feel that not wanting you to enter the city is the personal intention of the housekeeper, not the Lin family."
As soon as these words came out, the Lin siblings looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Lin Sanli stood behind the old man holding the knife, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
The old man was leisurely sipping the cold tea, his eyes still lingering between the Lin siblings.
When the old man finished drinking, he spoke to break the silence between them.
"Master Lin, this wild boy must be the one who has been making suggestions behind your back all these years."
Lin Weiyang really didn't like the word "wild boy", but she didn't dislike Lin Yuan. On the contrary, she was on good terms with the middle-aged man, so it was not convenient for her to offend him, so she had no choice but to admit it with a nod.
"Oh~ let me tell you, what happened at the home of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, what kind of trouble my cousin encountered today, so you are looking for a good idea from me, borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
The old man's sinister voice made Lin Yuan understand that he would definitely not be able to extort any benefits from him today. He thought that being plotted against him would be enough to blackmail him, but he didn't expect that this old fox would actually kill Chen Zhizhi. The matter of millet cut off his path.
Lin Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, but Lin Weiyang laughed inexplicably.
After the old man explained everything and drank enough tea, he stood up with a slap on his legs, saluted the two of them, and said: "Palace Master Lin, Mr. Lin, I have been bothering you for a long time today, so I will take my leave first. "
After saying that, the old man turned around and prepared to leave, but Lin Sanli blocked his retreat. It wasn't until Lin Yuan asked him to let him go that Lin Sanli made way.
Passing by Lin Sanli, the tip of the old man's nose moved. He sniffed a few times, suddenly stopped, turned his face sideways and said to Lin Sanli: "Little guy, it is important to have a goal in life, but it is also important to have a goal in life." Think about yourself.”
After saying that, the old man patted Lin Sanli's chest and walked out the door.
"Old man, have you known that I am Lin Yuan for a long time?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, the old man tugged on his beard and said thoughtfully: "This is the first time I've seen you... Oh, I'll know it the first time I see you."
After teasing Lin Yuan, the old man turned his head and saw Lin Yuan's trembling eyes. He suppressed a smile, turned around and stepped out, leaving only one sentence floating into the house.
"Wild boy, remember, if you lose, you owe me a meal!"
Grandpa’s! Forget about this! I should have known better than to talk too much!
Lin Yuan cried bitterly in his heart. He had lost his wife and lost his army. Not only did he not trick the old man, he even got in for a meal! If I had known earlier, I would not have made a bet with this old man. Whoever guesses the other person's identity first will be invited to dinner. Who knows his own identity is so easy to guess!
But he still called Lin Sanli and asked him to see the old man off.
Before Lin Sanli went out, he looked at Lin Yuan's hand seriously...
When Lin San left the house and walked away, Lin Weiyang finally couldn't help it any longer. She covered her mouth and looked at Lin Yuan with a smile, and said lightly: "You made a plan... and thought about it for a long time?"
Embarrassing, so embarrassing!
Lin Yuan pretended not to hear, covering his head and whining that he was dizzy, slowly lying on Lin Weiyang's lap again, but secretly cursing the old man in his heart for having no conscience, even inviting him to dinner and cheating himself. !
Lin Weiyang didn't expose his little trick, she just stretched out her hand and pulled on his face, then stroked his head.
The two of them have not been under the same roof for five years. Although they are in the same city, they have to pretend that they don't know each other. Even if they meet by chance, they can only pass by.
Today, listening to the sound of rain outside, the two of them can finally live under the same roof again.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Lin Weiyang asked softly.
"Much better. Now that I think about it, the old man must have felt that my body was weak and overwhelmed, so he didn't attack me too harshly. He stopped suppressing me early in the morning."
"Then...when did you learn swordsmanship? You even hid it from me?" Lin Weiyang was a little dissatisfied.
Lin Yuan knew that those who should escape could not escape.
After scratching his cheek and sitting up, Lin Yuan didn't know how to speak, but seeing Lin Weiyang's gradually bulging cheeks, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start explaining.
"Sister, I really haven't practiced. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan shook his arms.
This scene seemed familiar.
"Breeze in two sleeves again?" Lin Weiyang joked.
Lin Yuan was speechless. He directly grabbed his arm with one hand and said, "Look, such a thin arm can't even lift a sword, and it's impossible to practice swordsmanship."
Lin Weiyang believes that his little brother has never liked martial arts since he was a child, and he can't do anything that requires strength to solve. What's more, his arm is still injured...
"Then why were you so ruthless yesterday?" Lin Weiyang was puzzled.
Lin Yuan really didn't know how to explain it at this moment. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "That's not me..."
Lin Weiyang was confused and stared at Lin Yuan eagerly.
But he really didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "When I was a child, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was sitting on a lake, and there was my reflection in the lake."
"But that reflection can speak and move around. He can even break out of the water and sit across from me and talk to me."
"Yesterday before I started fighting with Lei Ming, I heard that voice again. After that, although I knew what I was doing, my body was moving on its own and I couldn't intervene even if I wanted to."
Lin Yuan explained for a while, but his voice gradually became quieter, because Lin Weiyang's cheeks had bulged up, and it seemed that he didn't believe Lin Yuan's nonsense at all.
Lin Yuan once again cried out in his heart that he was wronged. This time, he told the truth, so he pulled Lin Weiyang's hand and asked her to believe him.
Lin Weiyang reluctantly accepted this argument, and then asked: "Then why did you ask me to sell my property? Is it to deliberately let Beiliang Territory know that we are raising money?"
"Smart!" Lin Yuan praised, and then continued: "Let them know that we are raising money, then the purpose will be obvious, it is for dad's letters."
"But it doesn't have to be sold. Someone will know that we didn't collect enough money." Lin Yuan was still talking.
"And if this news reaches the ears of the person who stole the letter, he will steal the letter again." Lin Yuan stood up.
"If you steal it, you will bring it to me." Lin Yuan stood in front of the window.
"Isn't that right, friend on the roof?"
