Chapter 291
Lin Yuan's footsteps did not stop. Although he was quite old, his legs and feet were very convenient. He walked with wind, and those scholars who had no strength to restrain chickens were far inferior to him.

"Don't be in a hurry. The old man can solve the envoy's urgent needs. You are short of food, but I have food. I don't want a big one. I will send it to the envoy's door."

Duan Yi was slightly taken aback, she was ready, looked around the thatched cottage, wasting a lot of time to prepare.

It's really bad, so I borrow the food first, and return it to Lin Yuan after this year's new food comes out;
No matter how bad it is, she can bear the pain and use the ill-gotten gains from the Tian family to buy food from Lin Yuan.

But what did she hear now?
"It's a good day today. A pie was thrown and it hit me on the head. What is Bainonggong asking for?"

Duan Yi asked curiously.

Seeing that Duan Yi was calm and self-possessed, Lin Yuan was not overjoyed, so he couldn't help but give her a higher opinion.

"There is no one next to the old man. Even if there is plenty of food, even if eight generations down the line, if they lie down and do not work, they will not die of hunger."

"The envoy also has food. In the past, when the Guan family ruled Shannan Road, I went to see the granary in Shannan. There was enough grain for the envoy to go on an expedition, and he would go back and forth to support the new grain."

"But the envoy will not use it, because it has to wait for the flood season."

Lin Yuan said, looking at Duan Yi, "The old man has seen what the envoy has done these days. As long as the envoy promises to open a warehouse to release rations at that time, I will give the military rations."

Duan Yi moved her eyes and shook her head, "You can also open a warehouse to release food."

Lin Yuan smiled. He stroked his white beard and winked mischievously at Duan Yi, "My family has too much food. I'm afraid I'll be robbed by people when the time comes!"

"My Lost Formation can be eaten by people, and fish with teeth can be swallowed by people."

Duan Yi was silent.

Not only her, but the praying man and Su Yun behind him also didn't say a word.

It's pity that they eat porridge every day, Cui Zigeng, they eat iron buns every day, what does this old man say?I have too much food...

Duan Yi shook her head again, "Mr. Bainong is not a great kind person. Otherwise, it would not be the Fushui Han family's turn to sell everything. So this reason is not the main reason."

Lin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He cupped his hands towards Duan Yi, "Mr. Shi is smarter than I think."

As he spoke, he stroked his white beard and began to tell stories.

"Peasants like men, who are strong and able to work. After my old woman and I got married, we burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, hoping to give birth to men. But they did, and the old woman gave birth to nine sons at once. , when I reached the tenth, I just got a daughter."

"My daughter, named Qiu Tian, ​​was born during the autumn harvest. That year was a bumper year, and the millet in the field was bent. Although in my generation, the family had too much food to eat, but the Lin family No idlers."

"I was working in the field at the time, and the old woman came to deliver mung bean soup, but she didn't want to give birth to her in the field. So I named her Akita. Akita was beautiful, with fair skin, black hair, and big, bright eyes."

Duan Yi listened carefully. Lin Yuan said earlier that his daughter was a good fisherman, so it should be this Akita.

"But such beautiful eyes, like apricots, are invisible. My Akita is blind." Lin Yuan sighed, but there was no pain on his face.

"Has Akita's eyes been healed?" Duan Yi asked.

Lin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, looked at the bluestone steps, and nodded with some regret.

"Yes, we sought medical treatment everywhere, but we couldn't get cured. We had to post a notice offering a huge reward at the post station near Zhuangzi. There were many people who unveiled the list and tried it, but none of them had real skills."

"Until one day, a lady came. That lady lived in Zhuangzi for a year, and Akita was able to see the light again. The lady called herself a damselfly, and was abandoned by her husband's family."

"I saw that she had saved Akita and had nowhere to go, so I adopted her as a foster daughter and left her to live in the villa."

Duan Yi frowned. Hearing this, the praying man behind him couldn't help asking, "Do you want our lord to find a wrongdoer for that damselfly, and then avenge her? Or help her restore the old relationship?"

It's not a disgusting person in Qi Lang.

There are really too many divorced women who still miss their husband's family and want to be reunited.

Lin Yuan sighed softly, "If Damselfly is still alive, I would like to, but her fate is not good. She had a serious illness three years ago and passed away."

"When the damselfly first came up the mountain, she was already pregnant. The child you saw at the foot of the mountain earlier is her son, and the damselfly named him Jing Hong."

As Lin Yuan said, he straightened his face. His white beard was slightly raised, making his face darker and darker.

"What I want is not to reunite after a broken mirror, but to let that child recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. That child has a photographic memory. As long as he has read books, he can remember them clearly. Earlier, I invited the master in the city to teach him. .”

"In the end, the master had nothing to teach him. He said that if he went to the capital, he would have to be named on the gold list. But that child was so stubborn that he didn't even want to go for the exam, so he followed me all day. land."

After talking so much, before I knew it, I had already walked halfway up the mountain.

The bluestone steps disappeared all of a sudden, and a farm village appeared in front of my eyes.

The one directly opposite was a big house, with flowers and plants randomly planted in front of the door, which looked colorful.

A black dog barked when it saw a stranger.

"Heizi, come back!"

Duan Yi heard the sound and looked forward, and saw a girl wearing a blue and white flowered shirt came out from the gate of the mansion.

Compared with Lin Yuan and the young man Jing Hong before, his skin was so pale that it dazzled the eyes.

Lin Yuan handed the fish to the little lady, and said with a smile, "This is my old lady Qiu Tian, ​​she is getting old, she doesn't want to marry herself, and I don't want to, so she stays at home."

"Where's Jing Hong? Didn't you tell him to wait at home?"

Akita took the fish and nodded at Duan Yi and the others, "The brat came back angrily, and I don't know who offended him, so he carried the bucket and went carrying water!"

That Akita was careful, and saw that one of Qi Lang's boots was missing at a glance, and hurriedly said, "Father will lead the guests into the house first, and I will get a pair of shoes. But our farm does not wear boots, only open cloth shoes. It’s going to offend the guests.”

Qi Langzhong got off Su Yun's back, and he was relieved when he heard the words, "No wrong, no wrong, please trouble Miss Akita."

While talking, I saw Jing Hong walking over with two big buckets of water.

Lin Yuan looked at it, and hurriedly scolded, "You brat, you haven't come to see your father yet."

father?
Duan Yi was a little confused!Although she often becomes a father when she scolds on the battlefield, but wouldn't it be nice to have such a big son?
