"Our land seems to be haunted!"
Lin Shiyu: ???
Still sleepy? Did you hear wrong? Then go back to sleep!
Seeing her daughter lying down again, Liu picked her up with one hand.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Lin Shiyu rubbed her misty eyes and asked with all her might.
"Our land seems to be haunted." Liu said it again nervously.
"How is it haunted?"
Lin Shiyu originally wanted to say that there are no ghosts in this world, but changed her words when the words came to her lips.
"Our fields were all plowed overnight."
It's not just as simple as plowing the field, the water has also been prepared, and all you have to do is plant the rice seedlings when the time comes.
Such a large piece of land was completed overnight. If it wasn't haunted, what could it be?
Lin Shiyu sat up and said, "Rather than a ghost, I think it's just someone plowing the wrong field. This isn't the first time I've seen this."
Let's not talk about the distant past. Just think of the rush to harvest at the end of May. Wasn't it that someone went to harvest in the middle of the night and got the wrong plot of land? It ended up being a long fight between two families.
"I don't think so..."
"Of course not. If there were ghosts in this world, Grandpa would have come back to find me long ago. He would be most worried about me."
Liu was speechless for a moment. She was a little afraid of ghosts at first, but at this moment she really hoped that ghosts existed.
"Just think it was done by a human..."
"Why treat it as if it was done by humans? It was done by humans."
Liu knocked her head: "Can you let me finish what I'm saying?"
"You say, you say, please speak."
Lin Shiyu stood up and put her ear close to let her speak loudly.
Liu gently pushed away her daughter who had been acting weird since early in the morning, and then spoke: "Since it was done by someone, should we go and help your family get it back?"
"If someone asks us, then we can help. If no one asks us, we don't know who did it, and we can't find the place to help even if we want to go back."
Lin Shiyu spread her hands and gave her mother a look: Why are you so bothered by such a small matter?
Liu rolled her eyes at her unhappily: "Yes, yes, you are the only one who is thinking. Now that you are awake, get up early and wash up."
Liu left after she finished speaking, leaving Lin Shiyu sitting on the bed in a daze. She thought, "Get up and wash up, but I'm too lazy to move. Go back and take a nap." She was conscious again, but couldn't fall asleep.
After being in a daze for a while, she finally got up and washed up. Last night, she was thinking about setting a trap for the heroine and needed to think about it carefully.
At the dinner table, Lin Shiyu looked at Liu with an accusing look on her face.
"Eat it, no matter how pretty I am, I can't be eaten."
"Mom, you didn't consult the pillar of the family about the strange things happening in the fields, but you actually came to me, a little kid? Don't you feel guilty?"
While eating, Lin Shiyu realized that there were only her and Liu at the table, and the new pillar of their family, Lin Boyu, was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Liu lowered her head to drink her porridge, feeling guilty, and didn't dare to speak. This couldn't be blamed on her, right?!
Who makes my daughter act so steady and mature than her much older brother? Doesn't this ignore her age and gender?
"Your brother is more afraid of ghosts than I am. It's useless to ask him for help." Liu found an excuse to deal with her daughter.
"Humph!" Lin Shiyu raised her head: "I'm angry."
“Puff!”
Seeing her proud little expression, Liu couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately covered her mouth when she realized what was happening.
Her mouth was covered, but her smiling eyes were still visible. Lin Shiyu put the bowl down.
"Mom, you've gone too far. I'm going to cut off all ties with you for an hour. Goodbye."
She ran out with a clatter, looking very angry, but no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Lin Shiyu was not angry at all, she was just throwing a tantrum.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Shiyu walked out the door, the angry expression on her face disappeared.
She hummed an unknown song, skipped towards the river, and then...
Standing there in a daze.
"What are you doing standing here? Be careful not to fall."
"Cousin, you finished washing clothes so early!"
The person who came was Lin Shiyi, the daughter of the eldest wife. After washing clothes, she looked up and saw Lin Shiyu standing by the river not far away, and couldn't help but remind her.
"It's getting late!" Lin Shiyi looked up at the sun in the sky, feeling a little uncertain. Wasn't the sun already hanging there?
"Stay away from the water's edge, or you might fall in. It wasn't long ago that you fell in last time. You should remember this lesson."
Although she knew that the reason why Lin Shiyu fell last time was human error, she didn't care whether others thought so or not. Since she had fallen once, she should learn from the lesson and stay away.
"Yes, I understand, Sister Datang." Lin Shiyu nodded obediently. She couldn't just ignore other people's kindness, right?
"I'll just stand here and watch the little fish in the water. I'll be back soon. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it first, cousin!"
Lin Shiyu smiled and drove them away. She heard that the people in the big house were very busy, even the youngest one, Lin Bocai, was no exception.
After all, Lin Shiyi and she were not particularly familiar with each other. Lin Shiyu had only been back in the Lin family for about four months, and they separated not long after returning. They did not have much time to get to know each other even if they wanted to.
So it’s already difficult to remind her of this, and it will be too late to remind her again.
"Then I'll go back first. Be careful." Lin Shiyi gave this instruction and left, but on her way back she would always look back at the short figure from time to time.
Lin Shiyu stared at the little fish in the river, exercising her eyes while waiting.
Waiting for someone is the person you want. ─=≡Σ(((つ??ω??)つ
After watching for half an hour, Lin Shiyu ended her plan for today, but the person she was waiting for did not show up.
But it doesn't matter, she was originally thinking of watching the fish and casting a long line to catch a big one.
Big fish!
How can you just hang it up like this without taking some time!
…
When Lin Shiyi returned home, their family had just started breakfast.
In the morning, her mother would cook breakfast and feed the chickens and ducks at home; she was responsible for washing clothes; her father and brother would take advantage of this free time to work in the fields, and then come home at about the same time to have breakfast together.
"I just saw my cousin Shiyu by the river."
After thinking it over again and again, Lin Shiyi finally told her parents about it. She herself couldn't say much, but her uncle and aunt could talk to her third aunt and let her take care of her cousin.
When they heard their daughter say this, Lin Anji and Sun frowned.
They remembered the last time Lin Shiyu fell into the water, and also remembered that Lin Anjie was the murderer.
"She's trying to save herself. How long has it been since she fell into the river?!"
Lin Anji's reaction was a little exaggerated, and his tone of voice changed. Because of Lin Shiyu's fall into the water, he didn't dare let the two children get close to the water except when washing clothes.
These outsiders were afraid of this thing, but Lin Shiyu, the person involved, was so bold as to run to the river again.
