They walked around the village, stopping and starting in no particular order.
When I see something that interests me, I go and have a look. It could be a flower, a person, or even a house...
The people in the village knew that he was a noble man who came from the village, and that he was a noble man who came back with Lin Anru.
Without the village chief's special instructions, the villagers would spontaneously and enthusiastically invite him to visit or take him to see things that interested him.
After walking and stopping along the way, they arrived at the second branch of the Lin family.
He stayed too long, so he followed her and understood what she meant, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, Lin Anxiang limped over and opened the door.
I saw a stranger, a noble-looking stranger at that.
Even if Lin Anxiang wanted to refuse people from coming in, he didn't have the courage to do so.
Ever since his body half flew away, he became less and less fond of appearing in public, and also disliked others coming to his house.
He resisted silently, but also compromised silently, and finally stepped aside to let the person into the house.
"Tea, please."
Lin Bocai brought the tea, but the Sixth Prince did not reach out to take it. Instead, he stared at Lin Bocai for a while, with the darkness in his eyes growing darker and darker.
"I heard that not only is your father disabled, but your mother's health is also not good, right?"
The Sixth Prince, who had been away for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly asked. His tone was steady and calm, and even his two followers did not understand what he meant by suddenly speaking.
Not to mention Lin Bocai, who was unfamiliar to him.
When the noble asked the question, Lin Bocai was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly: "Sir, yes!"
"Could you please take us to see your mother? My followers know a little bit about medicine, and they want to see if they can cure your mother."
Although it was a question, the attitude did not leave any room for refusal.
Lin Bocai wanted to say that his mother couldn't be cured. His sister asked his cousin, and the cousin said it couldn't be cured.
My cousin's medical skills are well-known in the area. After she went out, even people in the city knew her name. He still believed in the diagnosis result.
Besides, he really didn't want outsiders to see his mother in this state.
But...he didn't dare to say no.
He led the way with his head lowered, and only raised his head when he was almost in front of the square: "The smell in my mother's room is not very good. I will go in and open the window to ventilate it. My lord, please wait outside for a moment."
The father and son didn't care about Zhang at all, and even though Zhang had become like this, her temper hadn't changed at all.
What little patience they had left had long been worn away by her temper. Taking care of her? No way.
At most, I just need to feed her something every day to keep her alive.
The door was opened, and an indescribable odor wafted into the Sixth Prince's nose. The Sixth Prince leaned sideways and covered his mouth and nose, and the two followers did the same.
Lin Bocai had long been accustomed to the unpleasant smell, so he immediately went in and opened the window after the door opened.
It took a long time for the unpleasant smell to fade away a little, but it was still very pungent.
The attendant took a handkerchief from his body and put it on the Sixth Prince before entering the house.
But he did not go near the bed. He just glanced at Zhang from a distance, waved his hand and walked away.
The attendant pretended to take Zhang's pulse, shook his head at Lin Bocai, and left the room.
Lin Bocai was not disappointed when he saw this. If the noble man had not insisted on coming to see it, he would not have brought anyone here.
The Sixth Prince and his entourage did not stay any longer and went straight back to the Lin family's old house.
The follower looked at his master who was sitting at the table and turning the cup for a long time, and felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
night.
As usual, the villagers went to bed early.
What is different from the past is that because of the previous plague, the village has retained the habit of patrolling.
As usual, the patrolmen first circled the village, then let half of them go to sleep while the other half continued patrolling.
The other half who were asleep thought they would not be woken up until after midnight, but they were woken up as soon as they lay down.
"Get up, get up! A big bug is coming."
"Big bug? What big bug?"
The person who was sleeping soundly didn't react at all.
"What should I do? What should I do now?"
The person who was shouting was so confused that he couldn't answer his question.
"What else can we do? Quickly beat the gong and wake everyone up!"
The sound of gongs rang out, loud and rapid, accompanied by the patrolmen's terrified shouts, and no matter how soundly asleep the villagers were, they were woken up.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Lin Anru was woken up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Lin Shiyu.
"Don't go," she said. "Our home is closest to the forest. If a big beast comes down the mountain, it will come to our house first. It's too dangerous to go out now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the patrolman's voice rang out outside:
"Don't go out. Your house is nearby and the building is sturdy. It's safe to hide inside. I'll go and tell the others to hide at the village chief's house."
The man shouted and left.
Lin Anru still opened the door and called Lin Anji's family next door and the two elders of the Lin family who were temporarily staying at Lin Anji's house to come over.
The main house of the Lin family was just a simple mud brick house and could not withstand the attack of a big beast.
"Close the door quickly and use the table to hold it shut."
Seeing that everyone had come in, Liu called her two children to bring the tables and chairs over while she bolted the door.
The wall around their house is high and thick, and was reinforced not long ago.
As long as the gate is not broken, the tiger cannot get in.
"Don't stay in the yard. Go inside."
Liu asked everyone to go into the house and close the doors and windows tightly, and only then did they feel a little safer.
"How could a big beast come down the mountain?" Old Man Lin murmured.
"The crops in the fields were completely destroyed this year, and the situation in the mountains may be similar. The big insects probably came down the mountain because they were hungry and couldn't find anything to eat on the mountain." Lin Anru thought for a moment and replied.
Judging from the large number of animal carcasses that floated down from the mountain some time ago, there may not be many animals left in the mountain.
“Buddha bless you!” Old Mrs. Lin clasped her hands together.
They were so hungry that they had to go down the mountain to find food. How dangerous it must be for the people in the village!
The doors and windows were closed tightly, and since they were in the most remote location in the village, they could not hear any noise outside at all.
It's so quiet that it makes people uneasy.
......
In Yamada Village.
There were so many accidents this year that the villagers ran out of their homes reflexively when they heard the sound of gongs and drums.
When the person who had just stuck his head out heard that a big beast was coming down the mountain, he immediately wanted to close the door.
It was only when the patrolmen shouted as they ran, telling them to take refuge at the village chief's house, that they followed them.
The village chief's house, like Lin Anru's, is also made of blue bricks and tiles.
It is very sturdy, and most importantly, the village chief’s land is large enough to accommodate everyone in the village.
Tsk, half of the people in their Yamada Village live near the village chief's house, so it's definitely the right place for everyone to run to for refuge.
