Generational Marriage

Lin Jinrong silently said goodbye to Zhiping and Zhiqing, put on Ziluo's face, and led a few women and Lichee and Longan, who were obviously in conflict, back to Zhuangzi.

Only when I entered the door, I saw Miao Ya, who had been sent by her to look for Lin Shiquan earlier, "stabs" out of the shadow by the door, winking her eyes and saying, "Girl, here is a guest. Master Lu Jiabiao took The boy was traveling with the little book, but unexpectedly the bridge rotted and collapsed and fell into the river. My brother happened to meet and rescued them when he went to catch the peach blossom fish. At the moment, my wife is talking with Master Biao, so that you can come back. past."

Looking at Miao Ya's smiling and relaxed manner, Lin Jinrong knew that Lu Yan hadn't told the truth about the matter. But instead of going to Dow immediately, he went back to his house and stared at the withered and sprouting winter plum tree outside the window.

"If the girl doesn't want to go there, it's better to wash your feet and sleep. I will tell your wife that you are tired and have dinner before going over?" Lychee didn't know what happened to Lin Jinrong outside today, but saw her wet shoes covered with mud. And the gloomy expression, you can also guess where it will not be better. Later, when I saw her sending Miao Ya to find Lin Shiquan, I guessed something again—mostly Lu Yan's master and servant fell into the water with her. Seeing Lin Jinrong like this now, I subconsciously guessed that she didn't dare to pass.

"Yeah." Lin Jinrong really didn't want to see Lu Yan's face in the past, she needed to calm down. Coupled with the tossing for a long time, those who climbed up and down were really tired, and fell asleep shortly after resting their head on the pillow.

The gloomy sky, the hard white ground, the withered reeds, the Jiangshen Temple standing silently in the cold wind, and the crying victims running around.

The dazzling snow was full of blood and blood red.

Lychee was shouting desperately: "Run, run..."

She flees desperately, her feet hurt, her chest is like a fire burning, and her internal organs and throat are throbbing...

"Hiss..." Lin Jinrong sat up in pain, and looked at the surroundings in confusion.

The sun is slanting to the west, the green outside the window is full of green, under the window there is a stone blue half-old swans and white rattan seats, the celadon engraved flower and grass pattern censer in the corner is spitting potpourri, and the old shrugs The peach blossoms in the beauty bottle are brilliant, and everything is telling her that she is in her own house.

She breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously clinging to the quilt, staring at the plum pattern on the quilt in a daze. She has been busy with the things in Zhuangzi recently, and has rarely remembered the past, but the dream just now is so real, even the slightest distortion that often occurs in the dream is not present.

She tried her best not to go back to that scene, but that scene always stubbornly surfaced before her eyes.

The few days waiting for Lu Yan were the coldest days in her memory of the two generations combined. Every day there are victims who are waiting for the ship, ignoring the deterrence of the Shoujiang Temple’s temple blessings, and tearing down the things that can make fire and keep out the cold in the Jiang Temple. The clothes and curtains worn on the statue of Jiang God were torn off and covered, and the wooden doors, windows, and table were all removed, and a fire was set ablaze in the hall. Cooking soup and boiling medicine scones on the fire were filled with weird smells and children's crying, the old people humming loudly, and the anger of men, and the low complaints of women.

She and the lychees are lucky and don't have to squeeze with those people. When they were not going out, they hid in the hidden utility room of Jiangshen Temple. Miaozhu and his adopted daughter locked the door and piled a few piles of hay. The outside world was completely isolated from them. Although there is no brazier for heating and the bedding on the cot is very thin, but the master and servant are close to each other, but it is not cold, and there is no need to worry about who will disturb them. Although the food is not good, they can eat enough. She was really satisfied.

It's just that she was always worried. Seeing countless people dragging her family back and forth, she couldn't always see a familiar face, so she couldn't inquire about the situation of her family and Lu Yan. It wasn't until that morning that their eyes were sore, and they finally saw a familiar face, that was a child from the Lu family named Lu Ji.

Although Lu Ji was an outcast and poor at home, he used to go to the Lu family a lot before. Until Lu Lun's death, the Lu family was closed for a long time, so he didn't see him. Although she and Lu Ji didn't meet each other, they only met a few times, but at such a time when everyone was in danger, meeting familiar faces and family members was always a little more happy and kinder than usual.

She was pleasantly surprised to ask Lychee to invite Lu Ji over to ask.

When Lu Ji saw their master and servant, he was obviously taken aback: "Why is the second sister-in-law here?"

Hopefully, she asked him about the news of her family and Lu Yan. Lu Ji told her simply that she only knew that the Lin family was also hit by the disaster, but she had not seen the Lin family. When talking about Lu Yan, he looked at her for a long time and didn't sigh. "Second sister-in-law, the situation is very critical. The bandits are about to be killed. Don't wait. Why don't you follow me first? , And slowly reunited with the second brother. Although I am not talented and not very capable, I can take care of your two weak girls."

She is always stupid, unable to understand the meaning of the words, just shook her head: "No, I promised to wait for your second brother. What if he can't find me?" "Second sister..." Lu Jichang sighed With a cry, shook his head, hesitant to speak, his face full of sympathy.

She felt terrified subconsciously, and squeezed her heart, and said with a trembling voice: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ji sighed, "It's okay, it's okay, you just need to go ahead. After avoiding this disaster, I will help you find your second brother. You can stay in the green hills without worrying about firewood. The bandits can be scary when they come."

The more he didn't say anything, the more frightened she became, thinking that Lu Yan was in an accident, begging him to say it.

"I really can't bear to tell you... But the second brother's approach is really not authentic. I saw it with my own eyes. He took the third uncle and the third aunt on a donkey cart and went on another road. I am afraid that it has already passed. Jiang's."

This news is like a bolt from the blue. She was so shocked that her mind went blank for an instant. She didn’t believe it. He clearly gave her most of the valuable jade pendant, and he entrusted Miaozhu with a lot of money to take care of her. He also asked Miaozhu to help find the boatman. How could he be like this? Throw her away? Is that money and jade pendant left for her to live? Looking for a boat is also a cover? He actually wants her to believe that he will come back?

After that, she only saw Lu Ji's lips move constantly, as if to comfort her, and as if to persuade her and Lychee to follow him quickly. Lychee shook her vigorously and called her name loudly. She barely gathered her energy and asked Lu Ji with the last hope: "After chatting, you see, who else is there?"

Lu Ji smiled bitterly: "Second Sister-in-law, I didn't dare to tell you earlier because I was afraid that you didn't believe it. Look, I don't believe it. But why should I lie to you? I ask you, is my second brother wearing a blue sky Silver Rat’s robe, black leather boots on his feet, and a blue knotted scarf on his head?” He grabbed his companion next to him, “I’m asking you, did we see Brother Lu accompanied the couple the day before yesterday? An old man went to the south in a donkey cart?"

Although she didn't know his companion, the expression on that person was absolutely certain: "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. He called him, and he pretended not to hear."

Lychee tremblingly said, "Could it be wrong?"

"Wrong?" Lu Ji sneered: "We are relatives, not enemies. What do I lie to you? Would you like to follow us, it is your freedom. I think that you are all tribesmen, and you are two weak. It’s only for women’s sake that I'm willing to take care of this nosy, otherwise I would eat too much, right?"

His companion hurriedly stepped forward to complete the game: "Why should you be angry? Madam-in-law might as well think about it. The bandits are really coming soon. If you don't leave, you will have no time. You two single women, the ladies are young and beautiful, if not People guard it, I’m afraid it’s not comprehensive. There are no boats here anymore. We have horses. We can go to the county house ahead by boat..."

She rejected them. She wanted to wait.

Lu Ji tried to persuade him two more times.

She leaned on the lychee shoulder and couldn't cry. Lychee comforted her, saying that maybe it was a mistake or that Lu Ji lied to her. But she thought, how could she be wrong? She and Lu Ji had no grievances and no grudges. She couldn't figure out why Lu Ji lied to her, or why he lied to her.

She and Lychee waited till dusk, waited until the snow fell on the ground, waited until there were fewer and fewer people, and finally did not wait for Lu Yan. The bandits are waiting, and the ones waiting are death.

That's it! Lin Jinrong rubbed his forehead wearily, rolled over and got out of bed, forbidden to think anymore.

After hearing the movement, Longan hurriedly walked in with a grin, and said with a smile: "Girl, my wife has been asked twice, how are you sleeping?"

Lin Jinrong said boredly, "Ask what?"

Longan never stopped laughing: "Why are you still not going there? Are you uncomfortable? Would you like to ask Mr. Shui to help your pulse."

"I'm fine." Lin Jinrong shuddered when he thought of the unpalatable, numb, sour and bitter medicine that Mr. Shui had prescribed because of irregular menstruation. It's no wonder that Master Lin San complained that the medicine was unpalatable, but it turned out to be unpalatable. It's really hard for Dow to eat so many years without frowning.

"Master Biao caught a cold, and Mr. Shui prescribed a prescription. They are going to live in our village for two days. The wife asked Master Biao about Mr. Zhu's affairs. Listening to that, it seems that we want our Seventh Master to follow Mr. Zhu. It's like reading."

This girl even knew what Dow and Lu Yan said, she had been haunting Dow's yard 100% during the time she was asleep, so she patronized Lu Yan. Lin Jinrong frowned displeasedly: "That's also a matter of years later. The Seventh Young Master is still so young, but Mr. Zhu won't accept it when he just opened up."

She had already thought about this when she first heard about Zhu Meng'e from the Tie Huai family, but considering that Lin Shenzhi was too young, it would be better to follow Mrs. Lin, and she did not mention it after the age of ten.
