Chapter 67: Fear
Lian Minglou came out of his memories and looked at his younger brother and sister in front of him. He suddenly felt that they had done something wrong before.
They cannot remain unknown, they cannot help but fight for their own rights.
It would be something they didn't want to see if either of them got hurt.
It was also from this moment that Lian Minglou decided that no matter what, he would provide a solid foundation for the two people in front of him and be their backing.
At the same time, he decided to tell his parents about this matter. He believed that his parents would do everything they could to protect them.
So, when Lian Mingli opened his mouth to speak, Lian Minglou stopped him, then took one of them by the hand and walked out of the study to find their mother.
"mother"
Xu Yuzhu was folding clothes in her room when she saw her three children, who were supposed to be in the study, come looking for her. She quickly stopped what she was doing and waved to them: "Lou'er, Li'er, Luo'er, are you looking for your mother for something?"
Lian Minglou nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mother. Mother, do you still remember the book on military strategy in my grandfather's study?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuzhu looked at her eldest son in confusion: "The book of military strategy, are you talking about the one without a title?"
"Yes, that book has no title and is incomplete."
"I remember, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Yuzhu's puzzled expression, Lian Minglou turned his head to look outside the house, and then continued: "Mom, there is a passage inside, and my younger sister and I know what it is."
Seeing her eldest son's serious expression and his actions just now, Xu Yuzhu couldn't help but worry. She stood up and walked to the window to look, and asked in a low voice: "Which paragraph?"
"Sixty-six is thirty-six. There is a technique in the numbers, and a number in the technique. The harmony of yin and yang is the key. The key cannot be set, and if it is set, it will not work."
Lian Minglou finished speaking softly, and then pointed at Lian Mingli and Lian Feiluo: "Older brother and younger sister know what this passage means, and what about the Thirty-Six Stratagems."
boom!
Xu Yuzhu, who had been in the military camp for several years, was looking at her children with wide eyes. She didn't expect that these two children actually knew the mystery that her father had been unable to solve.
She placed her trembling hands on her youngest son's shoulders and said seriously, "Li'er, tell me you really know what this means."
Lian Mingli didn't understand why his mother was so excited, but he answered seriously: "Mom, I know. I also know what the thirty-six here means."
"really"
"really."
“Okay, okay!”
Seeing his mother's excited expression, Lian Minglou reminded her, "Mom, this matter must not be known to anyone. Besides, this is in the northwest, and although it is still some distance from the border, but..."
"Mother understands. Lou'er, you just said Luo'er also knows, right?"
"Yes. Mother, I feel that we were wrong to have endured it all the time. If the youngest and my younger sister had told us about this, we might not have been able to protect them."
Xu Yuzhu had naturally thought of this problem as well. Her face turned pale as she looked at the two children, a cold look in her eyes. "Lou'er, from today on, you and Xu'er must protect them well."
"Yes, mother."
After giving Lian Minglou the order, Xu Yuzhu looked at her daughter and said, "Luo'er, tell me when you knew about this."
Lian Feiluo blinked and replied, "That sister taught me. That sister also taught Luo'er a lot of things. Luo'er knows quite a few words now."
After Xu Yuzhu heard this, she picked up Lian Feiluo and gently said, "Luo'er, remember to tell your mother if you have anything in the future. Your mother will protect you."
"Okay, thank you, Mother. Mother, my daughter and my brother have discussed this. I'll just dictate it and not write it down. Is that okay?"
Xu Yuzhu rubbed her head and said, "No problem, our Luo'er is smart. But this matter is a bit serious, and mother needs to discuss it with your father."
"Okay."
"Since Luo'er can read, you can read the books in the study yourself. If you have any questions, you can ask your brothers or ask mother."
"Okay. Mom, let's go read~"
"Go." As she said that, Xu Yuzhu put Lian Feiluo down from her arms and watched her being led out by her eldest son. She was thinking in her heart how to tell Lian Jing.
A day passed quickly.
When Lian Jing returned to his room, he saw his wife still sitting on the stool, apparently waiting for him, so he said, "Yuzhu, something's up."
"Brother Jing, it's a big deal."
Looking at Xu Yuzhu's serious expression, with a hint of fear in her eyes, Lian Jing also realized the importance of the problem.
Then he walked over, sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Jing, do you still remember the Taoist priest I met when I was pregnant with Luo?"
"The Taoist remembers that he said Luo'er would have a calamity when he was four years old. After the calamity, good fortune will surely come. It is invaluable. Could it be that something happened to Luo'er? But..."
Xu Yuzhu grabbed Lian Jing, who was about to leave in a hurry, and said softly, "Luo'er and the third brother actually know the art of war, and it's the art of war that my father has been studying for many years but has never been able to decipher."
Hearing this, Lian Jing was shocked: "What! Luo'er and the third brother actually know about the military strategy that my father-in-law studied. Could it be that sixty-six thirty-six?"
"Yes. Louer brought them to me today and said that the two kids knew what they were talking about. I was really scared at the time."
Lian Jing's expression turned serious. He held Xu Yuzhu's hand tightly and said, "Madam, I remember my father-in-law said that the incomplete book was given by a Taoist priest. Do you think that Taoist priest is the same person as the one you and I met?"
"Maybe it's true. Brother Jing, the two kids said they want to teach Lou'er and the others the art of war. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Lian Jing fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Lian Jing finally spoke: "Teach. I'll take care of anything you need. Our courtyard gate is tightly closed during the study. I'll talk to Lian Qin."
"Okay. I asked about it this afternoon, and they said they'd prepare a sandbox. If you don't have sand, fine soil will do. Just make a box out of wood, put sand in it, and you can write on it."
"Okay, I'll go with Lian Qin tomorrow and you guys just keep an eye on it at home."
"I understand. Brother Jing, it's just that this military strategy, I heard from my father that many people are vying for it. Were we too careless about our children in the past? We should support them and let them grow up well..."
"Yuzhu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to investigate how my mother died, you and the children wouldn't have suffered so much in that house."
As he spoke, Lian Jing's expression suddenly darkened. "If the two children had revealed even a little bit before, perhaps we would have regretted it too late. From now on, I will definitely support you and your mother and make sure the children don't have to worry."
"Brother Jing, I'm with you. I thought it was too simple before, but fortunately, everything is still in time."
"Yuzhu, thank you!"
The two looked at each other lovingly, and then held each other's hands and walked towards the earthen kang in the house...
