Chapter 15



Rumors about Lin Luo suddenly spread in the village.

"If I knew who the hell spread that rumor, I'd tear that stinky mouth apart!"

Grandma Yao sat angrily on the sofa in the living room, her face still flushed from the argument she had just had.

Ten minutes ago, Lin Luo was driving back from the town with a bunch of express deliveries. When he arrived at the village entrance, he happened to hear the sound of Grandma Yao arguing with someone.

"Who is shameless? Who took care of your rotten face back then?"

"I tell you, if you have no conscience, you will go to hell!"

Grandma Yao looked very angry, but the people opposite her were not to be trifled with either. They stood with their hands on their hips and had surly expressions.

"Who are you cursing? Who are you cursing? You're an old woman who's unlucky and nobody wants you, and you dare to say that to us?"

"So she is from the same family as that little cousin, right?"

"Haha, disgusting! Bah!"

"What cousin? A man and a woman like her would be drowned in our time!"

Lin Luo frowned slightly. She didn't expect that the matter was related to her. Looking at the three people who were arguing with Grandma Yao, she felt that they looked familiar - they were the famous gossips in the village.

When Lin Luo drove in and out, he often saw them sitting at the entrance of the village, eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip they had heard from somewhere.

Lin Luo was also asked by the three people to help carry some things, but from what they just said, it was clear that these three people did not show any mercy at all.

At this time, one of them saw Lin Luo's car. Although it was still some distance away, they were shouting so loudly that they didn't know whether Lin Luo could hear them.

These people talk a lot behind people's backs, but when it comes to the real person, they become more restrained.

The sudden silence of the three people also allowed Grandma Yao to discover Lin Luo.

To be honest, Grandma Yao didn't want Lin Luo to hear these rumors. The little girl came here to recuperate because she was in a bad mood. These people's words were so vicious that no ordinary woman could stand it.

Grandma Yao, who has been a widow for decades, has a deep understanding of this.

Rumors have always been a deadly weapon.

But Lin Luo stopped the car in front of them.

The car window opened, and Lin Luo looked at Grandma Yao with a smile, "Grandma, get in the car, I'll take you in."

Grandma Yao didn’t know whether Lin Luo heard those words, but she didn’t want to argue with these people at the moment, so she got on the passenger seat quickly.

Lin Luo did not start the car immediately, but continued to look at the three women with a smile.

"I'm a person who never suffers any loss. Anyway, I have no ties. Maybe when I feel bad, I can just grab a few people to go see my grandfather and the others."

It was a blatant threat, and it also meant that Lin Luo had heard what had just been said.

The three of them looked at each other. They were not afraid of such a weak-looking girl. One of them spoke first, "Luo girl, how can you say that? We are doing this for your own good."

"Your elders are all gone, and there's no one to discipline you. If you go astray, you won't know. We..."

"Bullshit!" Grandma Yao couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Lin Luo blinked his eyes slightly, kept smiling, and snorted coldly.

When this voice came out, they didn't know what happened, but their hearts skipped a beat at the same time. They wanted to curse back but couldn't utter the words, and their old faces turned red.

"You three are old, please take care of your health."

After leaving these words, Lin Luo restarted the car and drove towards home. The three people left behind not only breathed in a mouthful of car exhaust, but also could not get rid of the panic in their hearts.

It's like something bad is going to happen!

The three of them were in a hurry to go home and worship the Buddha, but coincidentally they stepped on something when passing by the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.

Gurgle——

The three of them rolled around together, not only were their bodies in pain, but they also knelt on the ground and knelt at the entrance of the ancestral hall. What was even worse was that the tablet on the top of the hall suddenly fell down and broke into two pieces!

The timing is just right, not a second more or less!

This is terrible!

Coincidentally, there were a few people around who witnessed the whole process. For the elderly, the ancestral hall is such an important place. This was the manifestation of the ancestors!

These three women must have offended the ancestors of the Zhou family, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen in the world?

I believe that soon these three people will understand what it means to be killed by rumors!

Meanwhile, Lin Luo, who had just returned home, brought a glass of water to Grandma Yao. "Grandma, there's no point getting angry with people like that. Just drink some water to moisten your throat."

Grandma Yao took the water and took a sip, and her mood calmed down a little. She felt a little embarrassed that she was not as calm and composed as a young girl at her age.

"I've lost my mind. Why would I argue with that kind of person? You too, little girl Luo, just live your own life."

Lin Luo nodded, "Don't worry, grandma, I won't mind."

But someone cared. Although Yun Shu only heard a few incoherent words, he knew it was related to Lin Luo. He washed an apple and handed it to Grandma Yao, "Grandma, what's wrong? Is someone bullying Luo Luo?"

When he said this, a hint of murderous intent unconsciously appeared between his eyebrows, which made Grandma Yao's heart jump. She immediately felt that her cousin Lin Luo was not an ordinary person.

But she also saw Yun Shu's concern for Lin Luo. "It's nothing. Miss Luo is very open-minded. There's nothing wrong with such nonsense."

Grandma Yao stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Luo was about to see the old woman off, but Yun Shu was one step ahead of her, "Grandma, I'll take you there!"

It seems that giving gifts is just a superficial act, and the real purpose is to inquire about things.

Sure enough, five minutes later, Yun Shu came back with an unhappy look on his face.

"What did you find out? You look so frowned that you could kill a fly."

Lin Luo looked at Yun Shu with amusement, "Don't worry about it, these people will naturally be punished."

Lin Luo's words did not make Yun Shu relax his brows. "These people are so mean. Luo Luo is such a good person!"

"What filter are you looking at me through?"

Lin Luoke never thought of herself as a good person. On the contrary, she was vindictive and liked the kind of revenge that was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

Death is such a simple thing, living in pain is more painful.

Thinking about it, Luo's grandparents and Lin's father and mother are all kind-hearted people. Sometimes they don't mind suffering a little loss. Lin Luo doesn't know how they raised her to be like this.

Lin Luo broke the other apple that Yun Shu had just handed to him into two pieces and handed it to him.

Yun Shu obviously disagreed with Lin Luo's "self-deprecation", "No way!"

Snap, half the apple is gone, "Lolo is the best."

After making a declaration that sounded like a crazy fan, Lin Luo and Yun Shu did not discuss this topic any further and focused their attention on today's lunch.

Nothing can affect Lin Luo's pursuit of food, and she actually has a guess in her mind about the culprit behind these rumors, but it can't be that person anyway.

In the afternoon, Lin Luo and Yun Shu went up the mountain again.

The winter bamboo shoots she mentioned before have entered a crazy growth period. In the past two days, villagers have gone to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots one after another.

So this nearby bamboo forest has been basically hollowed out, and the two of them have to go somewhere farther away.

As a lively and active child, the little wolf cub certainly couldn't miss this kind of activity. He skipped and jumped in front of Lin Luo and the others.

If it sees that the two people are walking slowly, it will turn around and call out twice, which makes it seem particularly smart.

Soon, the two men and the wolf climbed over the hill and arrived at the bamboo forest they had been to last time. It was a rarely visited place, and one could tell at a glance that they could gain a lot.

But winter bamboo shoots are buried in the ground, so finding and digging them is a problem.

Lin Luo and Yun Shu each took a hoe and began to play to their strengths.

Lin Luo has mental power, which is very convenient for finding bamboo shoots, but her strength is only slightly greater than that of an ordinary adult man. No one has been to this land for a long time, and the ground is as hard as stone.

Every time the hoe was used, you could almost hear the sound of metal hitting each other.

Yun Shu was just the opposite. He was strong but didn't know where the bamboo shoots were. Often when he dug with his hoe, he would either dig in vain or cut the bamboo shoots in half.

Lin Luo: “…I said you dig!”

I originally thought that it would be faster if the two of us acted separately, but I didn't expect that digging bamboo shoots is also a technical job, so it would be faster if we work together.

Sure enough, once Lin Luo told Yun Shu the location of the bamboo shoots, he knew how much strength he should use.

He had been practicing calligraphy for some time and had been able to control his strength, so those chopping blocks were destroyed in a worthy manner.

In just one hour, the two sacks they brought were full, which was a great harvest.

After going down the mountain, Lin Luo packed a bag and sent it to Grandma Yao. As for the extra ones, she kept some to eat fresh, and decided to dry the rest into dried bamboo shoots!

Dried bamboo shoots and old duck stew is a famous dish.
