Lin Rui, who had returned to his hometown to live a laid-back "salted fish" life, transmigrated. He found himself in a chaotic era of warring lords, foreign invasions, a weak emperor, and d...
Fang Pingshan's words were heartfelt. Xing Feiyan had originally returned furious, but now seeing her husband looking so aggrieved, she began to wonder if she had misunderstood him.
On one side is her brother, and on the other is her partner, she feels deeply powerless.
"Fang Pingshan, if you really attack Xing Lie, don't blame me..." Before Xing Feiyan could finish her words, Fang Pingshan covered her mouth.
"Fei Yan, don't say anything that would hurt the relationship between husband and wife."
Seeing this, Xing Feiyan finally endured it.
Meanwhile, Lin Rui, the young general, and the little girl finally escaped from the pursuit of those people from the Yishuguan Meat Market.
On the way back to Huangmo Pass, a group of people were heading here. They were the group that the Xing family army was sending to Yishu Pass to look for Lin Rui.
The leader wiped his eyes vigorously and said, "Oh my God, look, that's Master Lin!"
Is it too fierce? Otherwise, Lord Lin, who has been worried about by the Major General and Lord Han for a long time, is right in front.
The three of them were indeed in a miserable state. The young general was carrying the little girl on his back, and Lin Rui was holding on to a piece of wood he found on the mountain. They were also very tired.
Thanks to the young general, he and the little girl really ate all the edible insect species in the mountains during these seven days. Who would have thought that the young general's specialty was not hunting, but searching for hibernating insects in the mountains in winter!
Lin Rui wanted to not eat, but if he didn't eat or drink for seven days and still survived and had the strength to walk, he would definitely be suspected. Even if he ate the food in the mansion, he would have no reason to do so.
He endured the tingling scalp and ate all the hard-skinned, soft-skinned, sticky and astringent insects that the young general had found. What was even more terrifying was that he found that he actually thought a kind of worm that grew in the wood tasted pretty good?
"Master Lin!"
"Master Lin!"
"It's Master Lin!"
A group of people came running over, shouting and yelling. Lin Rui looked at the familiar clothes of the Xing family army and finally felt relieved. He sat down on the ground and muttered, "We're saved, we're saved!"
Although he had not been hungry these days, he definitely did not want to experience the third time of fleeing in his life.
Lin Rui was sent directly back to the Lin family's large blue brick and tile house by the Xing family soldiers. Seeing their son rescued, Lin Changxi and Feng Zhenniang, who had always been sick and had no energy to do anything, immediately cheered up: "Rui'er is back!"
Niu Niu, Lin Mu and Lin's second sister carried Qingqing to Lin Rui's room together. At this time, Lin Rui was placed on his own bed. The soft quilt and warm bed finally made him feel at ease.
Finally I’m back to my own territory. What a close call!
"Uncle, how did you escape back?"
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Xiao Qingqing looked at Lin Rui with a pair of big black grape eyes, humming baby talk.
At this time, Feng Zhenniang brought a thin little girl over. The little girl had been thoroughly washed by the two little girls, Xiaoping and Xiaoan. Now she was clean and the clothes she wore were still Xiaoan's.
Since Xiaoping and Xiaoan came to the Lin family, they have been well fed and warmly clothed. As they grow taller, the sizes of their clothes are getting longer and wider. This little girl looks about the same age as Xiaoan, but her body size is only half that of Xiaoan.
Even wearing Xiao An's clothes, I still looked empty and ill-fitting.
"Rui'er, when we sent you back, the military commander said that this little girl refused to leave, so he left her with you for now." Lin Changxi looked at the little girl, smiled and waved for her to come over.
The little girl was still very afraid of the unfamiliar environment. Her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Rui. She immediately ran to his bedside and grabbed his clothes, as if this would make her feel a little safer.
Lin Rui stroked her dry yellow hair and said, "Dad and Mom, Yishu Pass is a place where people are eaten. Human flesh is sold by the kilogram, and the price is lower than pork and mutton. I saved this little girl at the meat market."
"Oh my God, is there such a heartless place?"
"Eating human flesh? This is too absurd!" Lin Erjie was so scared while holding Qingqing that she couldn't help but mutter.
"The few words I say can never compare to the sufferings that the people of Yishu Pass have endured. Alas, I was almost tricked to death by the Xinyang Marquis of Yishu Pass this time!" Lin Rui complained. He didn't think about it carefully when he was fleeing before, but now he feels scared after arriving home.
If he was controlled and caught in the meat market, he could escape, but he would definitely not be able to hide his secret. The wisdom of the ancients should never be underestimated. Even though there is information asymmetry between modern and ancient times, there are always smart people who can see the clues of his mansion.
He can't afford to take the risk!
The little girl knelt at the head of Lin Rui's bed and kowtowed three times.
Feng Zhenniang quickly pulled her up and said, "Child, why are you so worried? You haven't even cultivated yourself well, and you're not in a hurry to repay your gratitude."
Before his family could fully express their worries, Zhao Qing immediately rushed back: "Brother Rui, the old general and the major general's troops are on the way. Judging from their route, they seem to be heading towards our house!"
Lin Changxi and Feng Zhenniang were also shocked. The father and son of the Xing family were the uncrowned kings in Huangmoguan. This was equivalent to the emperor suddenly visiting your home when you were in Linjing.
This, this, this really brings honor to my humble home!
"Oh my, this is so sudden!" Lin Changxi felt doubly happy. One was that his son came back, and the other was that General Xing came to visit his ordinary home. He immediately asked Xiao An and Xiao Ping to pack up, and Lin Dajie and Lin Erjie also got busy.
Sanliang pushed Xing Lie's wheelchair. Xing Lie couldn't help but cough and remind him, "Sanliang, I understand your urgency in meeting Lord Lin soon, but if you go any faster, my wheelchair will probably fall apart."
Sanliang looked guilty: "Major General, I..."
Xing Lie raised a hand to stop San Liang from apologizing. "No need to say more. I'm just as eager to see Master Lin as you are."
Xing Changyuan looked at his son and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "You are really good, you have a keen eye for finding a gem, Master Lin, such a great treasure."
Xing Lie rolled his eyes helplessly: "Dad, a golden son-in-law is a son-in-law. That's used to describe a son-in-law. Someone like Lord Lin should be called a cornucopia."
"Yes, yes, cornucopia is good, cornucopia plate is good!"
As the father and son chatted and laughed, the team soon arrived at Lin Rui's house. Looking at the tall blue brick and tiled house, Xing Changyuan couldn't help but admire it: "This is really magnificent. He is worthy of being the most profitable Master Lin in Huangmoguan."
"Dad, do you know how many of these big brick and tile houses can be built with the daily profits from the hot pot factory and the ingredient factory?" Xing Lie felt that his father was throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
General Xing, being the old man who was always naughty, asked, "How much?"
