After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 14: This father and daughter must be hiding something
In the morning, Lin Shuyue sat on a stool with a bowl of porridge in her hand, looking listless and in a daze.
Li took the wooden basin to the river to wash clothes, and Lin An also took his two sons to the town to deliver the prey.
Lin Shuyue was the only one at home. She put down the bowl in her hand and lay listlessly on the table.
The scenes from last night's dream kept repeating in my mind.
Lin Shuyue didn't understand why she had such a dream, and it was so real.
She can still seem to hear the desperate cries of the victims.
She thought of the leaf from last night again. When she woke up in the morning, the leaf was gone. She searched all over the bed but couldn't find it under the bed.
In a flash, an idea flashed through Lin Shuyue's mind.
Could it be because of that leaf that I had this dream last night, and this dream is very likely what will happen in the future.
Thinking of this, her heart beat wildly and her breathing became rapid and difficult.
If the dream was true, she would have to tell her father quickly and make preparations early, not just food and water.
You must hurry up and put martial arts training on your agenda, otherwise when the time comes, you will be at the mercy of others.
But how can I make my father believe what I said? And how can I give him the martial arts secret book?
Lin Shuyue's head hurt from thinking so much. How about just saying that she had a nightmare last night and when she woke up in the morning, there was a martial arts manual and a sword beside her bed? Would that be more credible?
After having a general idea in mind, Lin Shuyue cheered up and finished her breakfast.
After cleaning up the kitchen, I closed the gate and went up the mountain through the back door.
She was going to start practicing swordplay. Last night's dream made her eager to improve her martial arts skills.
After finding a hidden corner in the valley, Lin Shuyue took out the Liuguang Sword and began to practice the most basic sword technique, "Sword Stabbing", over and over again.
She stopped only when her arms ached and she couldn't lift her hands anymore.
Looking at the sky and estimating that it was almost noon, Lin Shuyue put away his sword and went home.
When we got home, Li was cooking in the kitchen, and my father and my eldest and second brothers had all returned.
Seeing that his daughter was sweating profusely, Lin An quickly poured her a bowl of water to drink.
Lin Shuyue finished drinking the water, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Lin An again, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Lin An noticed that his daughter looked strange.
He frowned and said, "Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you?"
Lin Shuyue shook her head: "Dad, let's go to my room and talk."
Lin An was puzzled, but still followed Lin Shuyue into her room obediently. After Lin An entered, Lin Shuyue turned around, closed the door, and asked Lin An to sit and wait for her to get something.
Lin An watched his daughter turn around, take out a bundle from the cabinet and place it in front of him.
Lin Shuyue also sat down and said to Lin An very seriously: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Lin An looked at his daughter with a serious face, feeling a little uncomfortable. He sat up straight and nodded, motioning Lin Shuyue to continue.
"Dad, I had a dream last night. In the dream, I saw a severe drought in Qing Prefecture and Anyang Prefecture. The river in our village dried up and there was no water in the well.
The village chief led the whole village to flee the famine. Grandma Xiuyin was crying while holding her newborn baby. I also saw other places where the roads were full of disaster victims, all of them looked pale and skinny.
Also...I saw some bad guys eating children, and the children's parents were crying very sadly..."
Lin Shuyue's face turned pale, her clenched fists trembled slightly, and her voice became softer and softer. At the end, tears fell from her eyes.
Lin An's scalp tingled when he heard her words. He had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but when he saw that his daughter was so scared that she couldn't stop crying, he hurriedly wiped her tears.
Lin Shuyue was really scared. Even though she had experienced inhuman torture and seen dead people in her previous life, she had never seen cannibalism. Seeing those people looking coldly at the children struggling in the hot pot and calling for their parents miserably, she couldn't help feeling cold in her heart.
Lin Shuyue calmed herself down and continued, "I originally thought it was just a nightmare, but when I woke up in the morning, I saw these two things next to my pillow." After saying that, she opened the bundle.
Lin An looked at the book containing the martial arts secrets and the sword in the bag with a horrified expression.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Lin An reached out and touched Lin Shuyue's head, comforting her: "Little girl, don't be afraid, maybe this is just a dream. Even if this dream is true, you still have your parents and brother to protect you."
"Dad, this dream is very likely true, and this secret book and sword appeared out of thin air on my bed. We must prepare early."
Lin Shuyue's tone was very serious, worried that her father would not take this matter seriously.
In fact, when Lin An saw the things in the bundle, he was already 80% convinced.
But he didn't want his daughter to panic, so he recalled the dream his daughter told him and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ya, if the dream is true, then we need to determine the time when the drought will come.
I remember you just said that in your dream the village chief led the villagers to escape famine, and your grandmother Xiuyin was holding a newborn baby and crying, right?"
Lin Shuyue nodded affirmatively. She remembered vividly the sorrow in Grandma Xiuyin's eyes due to leaving her hometown.
"But, your grandma Xiuyin only has one son, your uncle Gangzi. Your uncle Gangzi and your aunt Lianhua have two sons, your brother Xiaolei and brother Xiaohu. How come there is a baby?" Lin An was a little puzzled.
"Dad, sister, it's time for dinner." Lin Shuyan was calling from outside the door, muttering in his heart,
"Why did my sister pull dad into the room as soon as she came back? Did something happen?"
When Lin An heard his youngest son's cry, he asked Lin Shuyue to put down the bag.
He solemnly warned Lin Shuyue: "Little girl, don't tell anyone about this, not even your two brothers.
As for your mother, don't tell her, for fear that she will worry. Dad will find a way to deal with this matter, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Please put the things in the bag first. When I come back from the county tomorrow, I will tell them that I saved the nobleman in the county and the nobleman gave them these things."
He didn't want others to see his daughter as an alien. If a severe drought really came, his daughter would be in extremely dangerous situation. No one could remain indifferent in the face of this predictive ability.
He is also worried about his sons. Although they can protect their sister now, they will start their own families in the future, and the most important people around them may no longer be their parents and sister. If he is not careful, his daughter may be in fatal danger.
Lin Shuyue was very happy about Lin An's trust and love. In fact, she was not afraid that her mother and brother would find out, because she had a cheat. But she hoped that the five loyalty talismans would never be used on her family.
After they calmed down, they opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.
Mrs. Li looked at the father and daughter as they came in and said angrily, "Why are you so slow? You're not even active in eating."
The father and daughter smiled awkwardly and dared not speak.
At noon, Li made steamed pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and stewed bone soup.
There were only meat dishes, and the rice was cooked with it. No one even raised their heads while eating.
Lin An bought the meat in the morning. He sold the two deer he hunted yesterday for eighty taels of silver.
After getting the money, Lin Shuyan begged Lin An to buy some meat. In addition to meat, he also bought some fine noodles.
"Dad, let's go to the village chief this afternoon and ask him how much money it will cost to buy this house?" Li discussed with Lin An while eating.
"Okay, I'll go ask in the afternoon. It shouldn't cost much money." Lin An replied vaguely.
"Oh..." Li seemed to suddenly remember something.
With a happy face, she said, "I had totally forgotten. This morning, I went to the river to wash clothes and met Aunt Xiuyin.
Aunt Xiuyin said that Lianhua was pregnant again, which made her very happy.
She has always wanted a well-behaved granddaughter..."
"Bang..."
Lin An and Lin Shuyue's bowls fell on the table.
The two looked at each other, then quickly adjusted their expressions and said jokingly that their hand slipped and they couldn't hold the bowl.
Li looked at the reactions of the father and daughter and blinked her eyes. "These father and daughter must be hiding something..."
