[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

It has been three days since Lin Wei buried Qing Wan. Sitting alone on the threshold, he thought about the past life, but the five-day scene really felt like a world away, and what he should do now made him feel a little melancholy.

However, Lin Wei didn't have many chances to feel emotional, Yang Ming and his wife had come to the door again, Lin Wei subconsciously put away the document first when he saw the two of them, and watched coldly what they were going to do again rhetoric.But at this time Qing Wan had gone, but Yang Ming didn't take Lin Wei seriously at all, he said a few nice words and saw that he was still invulnerable, so he just put his elbow on him and let Lin Wei kick him Beat insults directly tied back.

Lin Wei was right. Yang Ming took him home and locked him in the firewood room and starved for a day and a night. On the second day, he forced him to ask if he had kept the deed and painting. Lin Wei said indifferently, "I lost it."

Yang Ming sneered: "Then write another one."

Yang Ming felt that this Lin Wei was like hob meat, and he had to be tidied up once before he could be manipulated. However, he didn't want to really beat him up, and he didn't want to let him stay lazy, so he thought about it and felt uncomfortable. If he is hungry again, he will be fine for a day.It's just a child, why did he get scared and subdued, and he will take care of himself in the future.

Lin Wei was so hungry that his chest was on his back when night fell, and he cursed the family countless times in his heart, and when he saw the light in the main room turned off, he began to work alone.The rope tied to the handle was worn off on the edge of the stone platform that he had seen during the day, and he climbed to the window sill to study the small window that could only allow a child's body to slip in and out, and then he saw a small figure He tiptoed out of the house and staggered towards the woodshed.

Lin Wei stared at the shadow quietly, until he got close to see clearly that it was the lotus in the dim moonlight, the lotus gently opened the door of the firewood room, and stood at the door quietly waiting for Lin Wei to come out of the window. Climb up and down, and then look at him quietly with a pair of big eyes flashing.

Lin Wei stood in front of the lotus and looked at her for a while, then found an ax from the yard, and removed the half-rotted straw rope from the inside of the firewood door. After the two came out, he removed the rust Banban's big locks were locked again, and finally he clasped his fists at Lotus who was looking at him suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your kindness, see you again."

It was already the dead of night, Lin Wei came out from Yang's house, went back to eat something casually, took the jade pendant silver and the unmarked deed, brought some dried food at home, and wrapped it with water. A piece of clothing went on the road.There was only one way out of the city, but his heart had no direction, and he walked forward in a daze.

Not long after Lin Wei had left, she heard small footsteps following behind her, she turned her head in surprise, but was speechless when she saw the person following, the lotus was carrying a small burden on her back, stepping on his footsteps. Then, seeing him stop and stare at him with big eyes flickering.Lin Wei sighed helplessly: "What are you doing with me? I won't marry you without a bond."

He Hua couldn't speak at all, and she didn't respond to what he said, Lin Wei walked and she stopped, Lin Wei stopped and she stopped, stubborn as always, Lin Wei had to stand still and persuade her: "Lotus, I don't even know what to do. Where are you going, what do you do with me? If you are a girl, if you are kidnapped by bad guys and sold, I will not be able to save you, your life is really over, go back quickly. "

The lotus flower is as stubborn as Qing Wan, she purses her mouth and doesn't respond at all, as if any words can't shake her thoughts, Lin Wei sighed and asked: "Is your brother one of your compatriots?"

Lotus was silent for a while, then shook her head.

"Did you pick it up?"

Shaking his head.

"bought?"

Shaking his head.

"You do not know?"

Lotus finally nodded.

"You let me go, will he kill you when you go back?"

Lotus thought for a moment, then shook her head hesitantly.

Lin Wei sighed: "I've got it all done. As long as you don't admit to letting me go, they won't be able to see it. Just grit your teeth and don't admit to pretending you don't know anything. Anyway, you have something to eat at home. , if something happens outside, I don't know how long we can live, and by then your situation may not be better than it is now."

He Hua shook her head, pointed at Lin Wei and then at herself, even gesturing that the two live together as one body and share the joys and sorrows, and she still followed his footsteps, Lin Wei only realized at this time that people in this era have What a governor, such a small child actually recognized him, Lin Wei couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your brother didn't give me a penny, and I didn't sell it to you. There is no relationship between us, Lotus. Let me out and I will give you money." I am very grateful, but now I can't even protect myself, and I don't know where my path is, how can I help you?"

The lotus followed Lin Wei for a long distance like a small tail, no matter what he said, he refused to go home, Lin Wei finally gritted his teeth and fell three times on the side of the road, bloody road "Well, let's become sworn brothers. If I can survive one day, I will come back and take you away, and I will repay you for saving me once. But you know what your brother is. I will never forget his deed." I don’t know how to make a pledge, let alone marry you or... marry you by marrying you? If you want to agree, just nod your head. When I have a place and you still feel bitter, then I will snatch you out even if I rob you. If you have a mouthful of food, you will never be allowed to drink only soup. If you still refuse, we will resign ourselves to fate. If there is a good or bad thing on the road, we will do our best, and no one can blame anyone for death or life."

He Hua blinked her bright eyes and stared at Lin Wei for a long time, finally walked to the mound and knelt down, Lin Wei let out a long breath and knelt down after him, looking at the little girl who was bowing respectfully beside her, she just felt baffled .After He Hua knelt down and gave Lin Wei the small bundle in her hand, she got up and patted the dirt and went back alone. Lin Wei looked at the small bundle but felt extremely heavy.

Lin Wei picked up her mood and continued on the road, walking along the main road until dawn, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, for fear that Yang Ming would pester her endlessly, but she didn't expect that there would be no one chasing her all the time.

Finally at the fork in the road, Lin Wei sat on the slope at the end of the road to eat dry food and drink water, and began to think about where to go, when he saw an old man squeaking in a donkey cart from far behind him, and arrived At the intersection, he also stopped, sat next to him and ate dry food.

Lin Wei secretly looked at the people around him, they seemed to be from a poor family, with coarse clothes covered in countless patches and greasy, and his face was wrinkled and flattened after the baptism of years of wind and frost.While eating, the old man turned his head to look at Lin Wei, staring at the kettle in his hand.Lin Wei finally couldn't stand his blatant blatantness, and passed the water over without saying a word, the old man smiled and took it in his hand, and drank most of it in one breath, finally wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I'm thirsty to death!" The old man is gone, where will the younger generation go?"

Lin Wei silently covered the kettle and put it down, glanced at the old man but didn't answer. The old man smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked again: "Do you want to go to Beijing? Uncle is going to Yangzhou, and I will pick you up for a while?"

"Are you going to Yangzhou?" Lin Wei finally spoke up with a twitch in his heart. It's not an option to go alone. Could it be that he really went to find that Lin Hai to try?The old man looked like an authentic person, it was a coincidence, Lin Wei said, "But I don't have half a cent of money, I can only give you a few sips of water, can you take me there?"

The old man laughed out loud, patted Lin Wei on the head and said: "You are so funny, the old man is going on the road alone, and it's just a way to pick you up, what money do you want? In the town ahead, we Find some water to bring, but the road will have to be a little harder, and uncle has some important things, and I am afraid that he will have to travel day and night."

Lin Wei nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, I can probably drive the car for you, just in exchange for you."

So the two of them got into the donkey cart without much rest, and stepped on the road all the way, Lin Wei always had the feeling that this old man was his guide, and now he no longer thought about how to behave in front of Lin Hai things.However, wandering alone in the secular world, at least it is just a matter of going with the situation, if the high-ranking family refuses to open the door to him, it is just a matter of going on the road again.So along the way, I should eat and sleep, and chat and laugh with the old man to pass the time. The old man has wandered all over the country, and the stories he talks about are not interesting, but they fascinate him from time to time.

But after the donkey cart went away, no one knew the man in brocade clothes standing at the fork in the road, only the inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth made the following servants wonder: "Master, is it really him?"

The man squinted his peach-blossom eyes thoughtfully, all he could think of was the jade pendant engraved with the word "Wan". Hearing this, he nodded his head erratically, and said in a weary voice, "Eight out of ten = nine. , you go back to the capital in person, follow the clues of Qingwan to search secretly, don't act in a public way, this king will go to Weiyang for a few days of entertainment."

The servant's eyes dimmed, and he asked worriedly: "My lord has been out for so long, why don't you just go back to the capital? I'm afraid that the emperor will ask you to get up..."

The man's face darkened instantly, and he said indifferently, "Don't talk to him."

The servant sighed dumbfoundedly and clapped his hands together, shook his head secretly but didn't move, he just asked: "There is one thing that I don't understand, since the master has a clue, why don't you check it out and explain it clearly to him, and bring him directly." It’s enough to go back to the capital, and I’m afraid there will be some troublesome things to send him to Mr. Lin this time, so why bother?”

The man turned his head and gave him a sideways look, and said with displeasure: "What do you care so much about? I really don't like to go back, so I miss them when I come out? If someone is making trouble in front of you every day, you come back and look for it." Lord, just ignore them. Besides, I don't know if it's true. If you didn't meddle in other people's affairs, I'm afraid that Yang Ming, who is not afraid of death, has already tied him back. I don’t know whether it was his person or his body that was found in the past. I also said that it had to be him. Wouldn’t it be troublesome by that time? Now whether he is or not, let him go to Lin Ruhai to fight the autumn wind first. Lin Ruhai is a caring person. Even for the sake of his own reputation, he can't do anything about it. The matter here will not be known until the day when the truth comes to light. It will be a year of the monkey. Go ahead and take away all the culprits, and only let Feichen follow me That's fine."

"master……"

The man frowned impatiently, waved his hands and said: "Let's go, let's go, I'm getting more and more like a mother-in-law, I'm really afraid of you, where did I get such a nagging energy?"

The servant saw that the man was going to get angry, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, he turned around and went back slowly, but the man was still standing there, staring at the donkey cart going away in a daze for a while.
