Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

That night.

Lin Shaowen got drunk for the first time. It was not about how much he drank, but that he got drunk by himself.

After Lou Xiaoe and Yu Li helped him to the bed with great effort, Lou Xiaoe asked Yu Li, who had also drunk a lot, to go back. She took off Lin Shaowen's clothes and wiped his body alone with her big belly.

When she wiped Lin Shaowen's face, she found some water stains and felt very distressed.

She didn't care to wipe him anymore, just lay beside him and hugged him tightly.

Abu also jumped to Lin Shaowen's side and kept touching him with his claws.

"Shaowen, what's wrong?" Lou Xiaoe asked.

"Nothing." Lin Shaowen looked at the ceiling and sighed, "If we were in a village, and you knew that there was a mudslide coming in the village, would you tell the villagers?"

"Yes." Lou Xiaoe said without thinking.

"But if you tell them, they will say you are exaggerating, and they may even beat you or insult you. Will you still tell them?" Lin Shaowen asked again.

"Yes." Lou Xiao'e said firmly.

"What if... they hurt your family?" Lin Shaowen whispered.

"Then let my family hide first." Lou Xiao'e's eyes flickered.

"Hide?"

Lin Shaowen was stunned, and began to pack things for Lou Xiao'e without saying a word.

"Shao Wen, what are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e was slightly startled.

"You go back to the Lou family and live for a while. When I'm done with things here, I'll take you back." Lin Shaowen said in a deep voice.

Lou Xiao'e pondered for a moment, and remembered the story Lin Shaowen told, and she understood it instantly. Although she was very reluctant, she still didn't say that she wanted to stay, but just wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and silently helped him pack.

Midnight.

Lou's Mansion.

"Mom and Dad, Xiao'e wants to come back and live for a while." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile.

"Didn't you say you'd cut off contact with us?" Lou Bancheng said with a stern face, "Why are you coming back now?"

"If it weren't..."

Lou Xiao'e was about to say something, but was stopped by Lin Shaowen.

"Dad, there's no overnight hatred between father and daughter. We were too impulsive last time. I apologize to you." Lin Shaowen bowed his head.

"Old Lou." Lou's mother shouted unhappily.

"Okay, is there anything missing?" Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e's belly and said, "With my temper, I will definitely not care about you anymore, but I can't bear to see my grandson suffer. Tell me what you want..."

"I'm not here to ask you for anything. I just want Xiao'e to come back and live for a while." Lin Shaowen shook his head.

"If you want to live, just live. This is your home." Lou's mother smiled.

"Is it...something happened?" Lou Bancheng said with a tight heart.

"Dad, don't ask." Lou Xiao'e frowned.

Lin Shaowen lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lou Bancheng immediately stood up and went to the phone and made a call.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."

"Yes, yes, it's my kid. Is he in trouble?"

"What? Someone above wants to deal with him?"

Lou Bancheng froze.

For a long while.

"He's here... OK, I'll let him answer the phone."

Lou Bancheng waved to Lin Shaowen and motioned him to come over.

Lin Shaowen stood up in silence and came to the phone.

"Xiao Lin, how sure are you?"

Zhao Qingming's words made Lou Bancheng, who was hiding and eavesdropping, tremble.

"Not sure." Lin Shaowen said in a deep voice.

This is not false, he is really not sure.

Who knows if the historical process of this time and space is the same as his time and space, what if it is different?

"Then why do you do this?" Zhao Qingming's tone was very calm.

"If it really happens, it will be a disaster if we are unprepared." Lin Shaowen said bluntly.

Zhao Qingming fell into a long silence.

For a long time.

"Bi Yanjun sent the report, and many people above are dissatisfied, but Bi Yanjun cannot be moved. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Qingming said softly.

"I understand."

Lin Shaowen's tone was firm.

It's nothing more than the above wanting to find someone to take the blame, and they have already known through channels that it was he who said this.

"Since you have decided on something, do it well." Zhao Qingming comforted, "For those who achieve great things, temporary failure is inevitable. If you really can't bear it, go to Qingshan."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Lin Shaowen said gratefully.

"I don't want this to be true, but I believe in you very much." Zhao Qingming smiled bitterly.

If possible, he would rather Lin Shaowen spread rumors to confuse the public.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Shaowen sighed.

"Yes."

Zhao Qingming agreedAfter a sound, he hung up the phone.

Lou Bancheng looked at Lin Shaowen, his face changing unpredictably.

After a long while, he asked, "What did you do? Why did the people above want to deal with you?"

"Don't ask about this." Lin Shaowen shook his head.

"Don't ask? You and I are a family. What if something happens to you..."

"Dad."

Lou Xiao'e shouted unhappily, "If you force Shaowen again, I will follow him back now."

"You..."

Lou Bancheng almost vomited blood out of anger.

This daughter is really raised in vain.

"Xiao'e, you stay here and don't worry about me."

Lin Shaowen opened the bag he brought, and Abu jumped out and threw himself on Lou Xiao'e.

"Ah, why did you bring it too." Lou Xiao'e hugged Abu and said.

"What kind of cat is this? It's so beautiful." Lou's mother was surprised.

"Ragdoll cat, Shaowen specially asked someone to find it for me." Lou Xiao'e said with a happy face.

"You are really spoiled and willful."

Mother Lou stretched out her finger and touched Lou Xiao'e's forehead, but a smile appeared on her face.

She could see that Lin Shaowen really loved Lou Xiao'e.

At the entrance of Lou's mansion.

"Shaowen, you know the situation in our family, right?"

Lou Bancheng took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"Yeah."

Lin Shaowen responded.

"I don't want Xiao'e to be hurt. If necessary... I will let her divorce you." Lou Bancheng turned his head away and looked at the dark street. "I have lived in fear for the past ten years. I don't want her to be like me."

"I understand." Lin Shaowen nodded.

"It's good that you understand."

Lou Bancheng threw away the cigarette butt, walked to the door, and said sideways, "Shaowen, if there really comes a day like that... don't blame me."

"Dad, take good care of Xiao'e." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"I will."

Lou Bancheng closed the door.

Lin Shaowen stared at the Lou family mansion for a long time before riding his bike to the courtyard.

At the window.

Lou Xiao'e hugged Abu, tears streaming down her face.

Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e, then at her already large belly, his expression changing constantly.

"Old Lou..." Lou's mother shouted worriedly.

"Go pack up all our things. If Lin Shaowen has an accident, we'll leave immediately." Lou Bancheng gritted his teeth.

"Accident, what accident?" Lou's mother's heart tightened immediately.

"Why do you ask so many questions, women?" Lou Bancheng growled, "Hurry up and pack up..."

Lou's mother glanced at Lou Xiao'e, who was still standing at the window, and sighed, then walked into the house.
