Lin Mo sat in his seat, and next to him sat his second brother Lin Xiu, who helped him serve the porridge and picked up some vegetables for him.
"Be careful, the porridge is still a little hot." Lin Xiu warned.
"Yeah." Lin Mo responded, tilting his head and looking at Lin Xiu without blinking.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at second brother like that?" Lin Xiu asked puzzledly.
"Second brother, you didn't come home last time, and it's been two months..." Lin Xing muttered while eating. They all missed their second brother, not to mention the fourth brother who was the closest to him.
"Eating can't even stop you from talking. Your second brother has to prepare for the imperial examination next spring. How can he come back every month?" Mother Lin poked Lin Xing's forehead and said.
"I miss my second brother, and I'm not the only one missing him. Ask my fourth brother..." Lin Xing touched his head and grumbled. Every time, his mother only poked him. Couldn't she change someone else? For example, his silly brother Lin Chen.
"I miss... my second uncle!" Lin Xiaoya held the wooden spoon in her hand, looked at Lin Xiu with big eyes, and nodded heavily.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't come back last time because of something. I will be home on time next time." Lin Xiu smiled gently, his eyes full of apology.
Lin Mo responded softly, then turned back to drink his porridge.
"If there is really something, don't bother going back and forth. The most important thing now is your studies." said Lin's father.
"I know, Dad. I've actually almost finished the book. I was delayed last time because the dean came to see me."
Lin Cheng glanced at Mo Ge'er, then continued to help his daughter pick up food. In his impression, Lin Mo in his previous life had always been very close to his second brother. Lin Cheng didn't know the reason, and in the end Lin Mo didn't tell him.
I think with his second brother around, Lin Mo will be able to accept them quickly.
However, Lin Cheng felt that he really needed to find some time to talk to Lin Xiu about his past life. Half of the reason why Lin Mo died in his past life was Lin Xiu. Lin Cheng remembered that after his second brother was framed and killed, Lin Mo disappeared for a day, and when he came back, his temperament had changed drastically. He had never smiled since then, and there was rarely any expression on his face.
After dinner, Lin Mo sat in the yard playing with the two children, Mrs. Lin was planting vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back, and Lin Xing and Lin Chen were feeding the chickens and ducks in the fence.
In the room, Lin's father and mother were talking with their two sons, and they were talking about Lin Mo.
"Insufficient Qi and blood? Fourth brother didn't have this symptom before. What does the doctor say?" Lin Xiu frowned slightly.
"The doctor said that my fourth brother's coma was caused by lack of sleep for a long time," said Lin Cheng.
"But... Brother Mo has been in good spirits recently, and he doesn't seem so weak anymore. If he hadn't suddenly fallen into a coma at noon..." Lin's mother said worriedly. The doctor also said that if it had been discovered a few days later, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Lin Mo didn't know that his family had almost guessed that he couldn't sleep at night. Because he had slept for an afternoon today, he was in good spirits now. He thought that even if he was awakened in the middle of the night, his head wouldn't be so swollen tomorrow.
After the sun had completely set, Lin Mo finished his shower and went back to his room to lie on the bed to rest.
The next morning, Lin Mo originally planned to pick the remaining fruits in the orchard to make other fruit products, but his family refused on health grounds.
After being rejected, Lin Mo didn't insist anymore. It didn't matter if he did it a few days later.
After breakfast, Lin's father and mother carried their farm tools and went out. The crops were almost ready to be harvested, so they had to go to the fields to check. Sister Lin picked the yellowed leaves in the vegetable garden and asked Lin Chen to feed them to the chickens and ducks, while she started planting the next season's vegetables.
As soon as Lin Xing finished his breakfast, he took his small bamboo basket and went to play with his friends, probably to catch fish in the river. Bored Lin Mo could only play with his nephews and nieces in the yard.
"Little rabbits can't eat fruit, or they will get sick." Lin Mo couldn't help but say as he saw Lin Xiaoya constantly handing fruit to the rabbit.
"Ah? But the fruit is delicious..." Lin Xiaoya took back the fruit in her hand hesitantly.
“You can eat it only when it grows up.”
"Oh, well..."
"Xiaonan, what are you doing? Dogs don't eat vegetable leaves." Lin Mo just turned around and saw Lin Xiaonan squatting next to the dog, holding a vegetable leaf and handing it to its mouth.
"Huh?" Lin Xiaonan looked up at him, and the vegetable leaf in his hand was bitten by the little black dog.
“……”Okay, just pretend he didn’t say it.
"Where did your rabbits and dogs come from?" Lin Mo squatted down and asked.
"Uncle Cheng gave it to me." Lin Xiaonan said.
"That's right." Lin Xiaoya touched the little rabbit's ears and nodded.
"Uncle Four, do you want it?" Lin Xiaoya held the little rabbit in both hands and handed it to Lin Mo.
“Uh… no need, just raise it yourself.” Lin Mo blinked and looked at the rabbit in front of him staring at him with its red eyes.
"Oh." Lin Xiaoya nodded, then took her head back.
"Fourth Uncle, did you buy me some candy?" Lin Xiaoya touched the rabbit's head, suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked.
"Candied Haws!" Hearing his sister's words, Lin Xiaonan also remembered his own candied haws. He looked up at his fourth uncle. Even the little black dog struggling and running away did not attract his attention.
"I forgot about the candied haws. I'll buy some for Nan Nan next time. The candy should be in the house. Let's go check." Lin Mo stood up and looked down at them.
Lin Xiaonan did not chase after the little black dog that ran to the tree. Instead, she stood up and grabbed Lin Mo's fingers with her little hand. Seeing this, Lin Xiaoya quickly put the rabbit back into the nest, then stood up and grabbed Lin Mo's other hand.
"Do you have any fruit-flavored candies?" Lin Xiaoya asked, trying to keep up with her fourth uncle.
"No."
"oh."
"Do you have any fish-flavored candies?" Lin Xiaoya asked again.
"No." How can you eat candy that smells like fish?
"I'll make fruit-flavored candies for you next time." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, maybe he could make money from this.
"Can fish be cooked too?" Lin Xiaonan asked, looking up.
“No.” Even if it’s made, will anyone eat it?
"What about the shrimp flavor?" Lin Xiaoya asked.
“No.” Lin Mo felt inexplicably tired.
"That……"
"Except for fruit flavor, nothing else is allowed. If you ask again, I'll make you rabbit flavor." Lin Mo stopped and said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Rabbits are okay?! What about dogs?" Lin Xiaonan asked with his eyes wide open.
"What about chicks and ducklings?" Lin Xiaoya raised her head and opened her mouth in shock.
“…Do you want to eat? If you do, I’ll make it for you.” Lin Mo looked down at them and gave up struggling.
…
In Lin Cheng's room, Lin Xiu stood still, his eyes full of shock. He opened his mouth to say something but found that he couldn't speak.
"Second brother...you..." Lin Cheng wanted to walk over, but when he saw Lin Xiu take a few steps back, he retracted his raised right foot.
"Brother...let me take my time..."
After Lin Xiu temporarily calmed down his intense emotions and sorted out the information in Lin Cheng's words, his face turned a little ugly.
"You said...it was because of me in the previous life that our whole family died, and...and fourth brother was also killed because of..." Lin Xiu's whole body was trembling, his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't say the rest.
"In your previous life, you told me that you were framed by the Prime Minister..."
"Who is that woman? Why do you say that I become abnormal when I touch her?" Lin Xiu didn't believe that he would ignore his family for a woman.
"That's the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Before he died, Mo Ge'er told me that she was a 'time-traveling girl' and asked me to stay away from her... Although I don't understand what Mo Ge'er meant, that woman is indeed very strange, like a witch. It seems that many men around her have been bewitched by her."
Outside the house, Lin Mo stood in front of the door with his head down, his hands hanging on both sides of his body clenched tightly, but his body kept shaking.
In the previous life...died in an untimely death...a time-traveling woman...
These words kept circling in Lin Mo's mind. At this time, the sun was about to rise to the middle, but Lin Mo felt cold all over, his temples were throbbing violently, and his head was swollen.
"Fourth Uncle... Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoya saw Fourth Uncle trembling all over. She looked up and saw that Fourth Uncle's expression was a little scary. Lin Xiaoya was a little scared and said in a trembling voice.
She only knew that Fourth Uncle had told them to stay where they were and not move, and then he tiptoed over, just like Fifth Uncle when he wanted to eavesdrop on grandpa and grandma’s conversation.
Lin Xiaoya thought that Fourth Uncle would do the same, so she walked over carefully out of curiosity. But when she walked over, Lin Xiaoya found that Fourth Uncle seemed to become a little strange, and the expression on his face scared her.
"Fourth Uncle...your hand is bleeding." Lin Xiaonan was frightened when he saw the red blood flowing out of Lin Mo's hand, and his eyes turned red.
Lin Xiaonan hesitantly raised his hand and tried to pry open his clenched hand, but was unexpectedly shaken off by Lin Mo. Lin Xiaonan took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
"Woo..." Lin Xiaonan seemed to be hurt by the fall, and tears slowly emerged from his eyes.
"who?!"
Lin Mo felt as if he had knocked down his nephew and was about to help him up, but when he heard the words of the people in the room and the approaching footsteps, Lin Mo's heart tightened and he turned around and quickly fled.
After Lin Mo's figure disappeared outside the door, the door was opened. Lin Xiu was relieved when he saw his nephew and niece standing in front of the door, but his heart stagnated when he saw their expressions.
"Xiao Ya...where is your fourth uncle?" Lin Xiu picked up Lin Xiaonan who was sitting on the ground.
"Fourth Uncle ran...ran away..." Lin Xiaoya's eyes were red and there was some fear in her eyes.
"Did Brother Mo...hear it?" Lin Cheng just walked out and heard his daughter's words.
"I'll go find him!" Lin Xiu handed Xiaonan to Lin Cheng and ran out quickly.
