The life of farming in ancient times with a system
Chapter 63 The wrong person
Zhou Xiang reacted quickly, squinting his eyes and said, "Did I say it was a cat? I didn't say it, but I just think your behavior is suspicious. Even if it's not a cat, it's something else that looks good. Dig it out Let everyone take a look, and let everyone see your true face."
Zhou Xiang was born in a house fight, and his few words were very provocative.
Not only the servants who followed in, even Zhou Fengnian looked at Lin Shen differently.
"Get out of the way, I'll dig." Zhou Fengnian's eyes were reddish, he pushed away a servant who was digging a pit, and picked up the hoe himself.
Lin Shen didn't speak, but took a step back.
The old carpenter stood aside indifferently.
Zhou Fengnian cast a gloomy look at Lin Shen, walked up to the old carpenter and said in a low voice, "Your biggest mistake was accepting Lin Shen as an apprentice. He is not a thing."
If the fat cat's body was found in this courtyard, Zhou Fengnian would definitely go crazy.At that time, the old carpenter and Lin Shen will be kicked out.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely comfortable, and the corner of his mouth was about to curl up.Zhou Fengnian stopped what he was doing and stared at the dug hole motionlessly.
"What's inside?" Zhou Xiang lowered his head to look down, and then the expression on his face froze.
A piece of cloth was thrown into the pit, wrapping a large piece of stuff.Even with the eyes, you can't tell what it is.
Zhou Fengnian said coldly: "Take out the contents."
A servant was lying on the side and took out the cloth bag. The cloth bag was stained with mud and looked dirty.
Zhou Fengnian turned his head and stared at Lin Shen: "What's in it?"
Lin Shen said flatly, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
He stayed in the backyard with his master and never went out once. A black pot fell from the sky and almost killed them. Who did they provoke?
"Pretend, you are still pretending here. Open the bag and see what is inside, so that he can die with confidence!" Zhou Xiang regained his energy.
The main event is coming!
Under Zhou Xiang's signal, the servants unpacked the package lightly, and then they were stunned.
"Get out of the way, will you do something?"
Impatient, Zhou Xiang kicked away the servant standing in front of him.
Inside the burden is a bag of stones, and a lot of grass is wrapped outside the stones.
Zhou Xiang was stunned.
Zhou Fengnian glanced at it, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's good that it's not my beloved cat."
Zhou Xiang blinked his eyes a few times, and his suspicious eyes fell on Lin Shen and the old carpenter.
The old carpenter laughed loudly: "Who buried it? It took so much effort to bury a pile of stones here, it's a waste of time."
Zhou Fengnian was also very puzzled: "Didn't you guys bury it?"
"Master and I are here to work. We are so exhausted during the day and sleep like dead pigs at night. How can we have time for such pranks?" Lin Shen said coldly.
"It wasn't you, who made it?" Zhou Fengnian asked angrily.
"I have a guess." Lin Shen said.
"Say!" Zhou Fengnian lowered his face.
There was something odd about it all, probably something to do with his lost cat, and he was eager to know why.
"My master and I are outsiders, but we can see clearly from the outside. We have never been out of this yard. We are busy working during the day, and only people who deliver food will come in. Of course, sometimes the boss will come to see us doing work. The progress of life. It can be said that anyone's every move, as long as it is in the daytime, cannot escape our eyes..."
Zhou Fengnian said impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? I just want to know where my cat went!"
"It means that someone secretly buried things in the backyard while my master and I were sleeping at night. As for where your cat is, the person who buried things here must know."
Lin Shen said so much just to get him and his master out.How the Zhou family fights has nothing to do with him and the master, they are here to work anyway.It is only natural for them to work and be paid by their employers.
Zhou Fengnian was not stupid. After calming down, he also thought of some doubts.He looked at Zhou Xiang, and said in a cold voice, "Brother, you suggested to search the backyard, what do you say now?"
"I?"
Zhou Xiang was calm on the surface, but he had already scolded Lin Shen bloody in his heart.Things have developed to this point, no matter how stupid he is, he still knows that the perfect plan has gone wrong.He was [-]% sure that Lin Shen had tampered with it.Lin Shen wouldn't admit it, and he couldn't tell Zhou Fengnian the truth, otherwise he would be the one who died.
"Brother, tell me the truth, what did you do to my cat?" Zhou Fengnian asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm also kind, and I want to help you find your cat..." Zhou Xiang stepped back with fear on his face.
"This cloth is not something ordinary people can use. It looks like a tablecloth." Lin Shen focused on the cloth covered with stones.
Hearing this, Zhou Fengnian's face changed slightly.His mistake was that he underestimated Lin Shen's IQ, and he also made a mistake in overestimating his own IQ.
Zhou Fengnian also saw it, and said with a sinister smile: "Brother, I didn't see it just now, it seems to be the tablecloth in your room?"
"Really? I don't know. You know that I only care about eating, drinking and having fun. I have never paid much attention to the layout of the room. I just use whatever Ah Mo arranges for me. Besides, I do big things. Man, I don't care about such small things..."
Zhou Xiang panicked, he didn't dare to meet Zhou Fengnian's eyes, he didn't know what nonsense he was talking about.
By now, Zhou Fengnian understood everything.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Since it's not you, then it's the servants in your yard. Someone, arrest them all, and beat them to death one by one. I don't believe that I can't pry these people's mouths open!"
Several strong servants rushed forward and pinned the people around Zhou Xiang to the ground, including Zhou Xiang's most powerful servant.
The waiter lay on the ground, ate a mouthful of mud, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty begged me, I was wronged."
Zhou Xiang frowned, looked at Zhou Fengnian with dissatisfaction, and said, "Fengnian, don't you take me too seriously? Xiao Chuan is my close friend, and I will take him into the room sooner or later. Said It's an ugly sentence, whether you like it or not, you have to call him sister-in-law. If you treat him like this, where will you put the big brother's face? "
"Sister-in-law? Is he worthy?!"
Zhou Fengnian raised the hem of his clothes and kicked it up, stepping viciously on the servant's face.
The waiter couldn't dodge in time, and let out a scream like killing a pig.
Looking again, I saw two tubes of nosebleeds coming out of his nose, looking very tragic.
"Take it away!" Zhou Fengnian said coldly.
He strode away with his people.
"Fengnian!"
Zhou Xiang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he swallowed his anger and chased after him.
He was the eldest brother, but he had to put up with Zhou Fengnian, that's why Zhou Fengnian knew that the prefect son was not a good match, so he wanted to marry that bastard.
Power can bring money, and it can also make him superior.He was destined to marry the prince of the prefect, and Zhou Xiang was so afraid that it wasn't his father and ah, but the prince of the prefect behind Zhou Fengnian.In the future, when Zhou Xiang inherits the Zhou family, he will also live on the breath of Zhou Fengnian.
This is the harsh reality.
"so close."
After everyone left, the old carpenter closed the backyard door and whispered to Lin Shen when he came back.
If Lin Shen hadn't made a quick decision, the scapegoat would have become their mentor and apprentice.
"It's impossible for someone to harm others, and it's imperative to be on guard. This Zhou family is too deep, and this little brother Zhou is very scheming and ruthless..."
If you say hit someone, hit someone, there is no warning at all.The old carpenter watched helplessly, Zhou Fengnian stomped the man until he was breathless.The servant who was being punished didn't dare to have a single rebuttal.
"It's too right for you to withdraw from him. This is a thorny flower. If you marry her, you will not be able to live in the family. It will turn the family upside down." The old carpenter whispered.
Lin Shen told about the commotion he heard in the courtyard last night.
"I heard two people. One was digging the soil, and the other was probably holding a lantern. The light was very subtle. I didn't really think about it at the time. I was half asleep and half awake thinking I was dreaming."
The old carpenter nodded: "You are doing the right thing. If I heard it, it would be useless. I wouldn't think too deeply. I thought I could hang around for a while, but now it seems that we should finish the work quickly and let's go home Go. If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid you will have long nights and dreams."
Lin Shen couldn't help laughing, it seemed that the master was really scared.
"Why are you laughing? Hurry up and work." The old carpenter slapped him and said angrily.
"Hey, work." Lin Shen repeatedly agreed.
The backyard is calm, but the front yard has been turned upside down.
The servants lying on the ground all over the yard were all from Zhou Xiang's yard.
Refuse to betray Zhou Xiang?
Then fight until you are willing to speak.
Zhou Fengnian sat on a high place, looking down with a cold expression.
There was a scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves below.
Zhou Xiang's face stinks to death, and he watched helplessly as the people in his yard were knocked out and dragged out.
Xiaochuan is not dizzy yet, but he has reached his limit.The butt was smashed, and the ground was wet with blood.
He felt that he was about to die, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he looked at Zhou Xiang with weak and expectant eyes: "Woo, I don't want to die, please save me, since I have served you for so many years... .”
Someone couldn't bear it, and cried, "I saw it. I saw the cat running into the house. Afterwards, I heard the scolding sound from Mr. Lang. I also saw Mr. Lang coming out with something in his arms, and he wouldn't let anyone follow him." ..."
Now that Zhou Xiang didn't want to admit it, he couldn't do it anymore.
"That fat cat should have died a long time ago. I was sleeping in the room. It startled me by running in. I hit it and it jumped up and scratched me. It wasn't the first time. I was so angry that I picked up a vase and smashed it, who knew that it fell down on the spot without being beaten," Zhou Xiang said.
"Brother, you are so cruel! You know that I love it like my life, even if it causes a catastrophe, I am the master. Before you hit it, can I say hello to you?" Zhou Fengnian's eyes Immediately became red, stood up and roared at Zhou Xiang.
The commotion was too loud, attracting Zhou Ji and his wife.
Zhou Fengnian went berserk and threatened to stab Zhou Xiang to death.
Zhou Xiang was frightened by his disheveled hair, and knew that he was approaching a catastrophe, so he ordered a few loyal servants to stop Zhou Fengnian desperately, he rushed out the gate and jumped into the carriage, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Listening to the movement coming from the front, the old carpenter shook his head: "There are so many movements, I'm not afraid that others will hear the joke."
"Zhou Shen is really not a thing. He killed the cat in all likelihood. I was afraid that Zhou Fengnian would scold him, so I came up with such an idea of killing a thousand swords. It not only taught him a lesson for not liking me, but also got rid of a scapegoat." Lin Shen pondered for a while, and finally figured it out.
"What kind of grudge do you have against him? He wants to cheat you like this?" said the old carpenter.
Lin Shen smiled wryly, "I offended him before."
Not only this reason, but Zhou Xiang knows why.
Jiang Daizhen was much colder towards him. Recently, he went to play with Jiang Daizhen, and often sent someone to tell him that Jiang Daizhen was not there.It's fine once or twice, but the more times he became suspicious.He used his banknote ability to buy the servants of Jiang's inner courtyard with money. The servants told him that Jiang Daizhen often went to play with a little carpenter named Lin Sanlang. . .
In the afternoon, Zhou Fengnian came again, carrying a servant lying on the door with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
This person is Xiao Chuan, Zhou Xiang's personal servant.Zhou Xiang ran away and threw the mess to him, and he took over the burden of finishing with tears.
"That's right here. My lord and I buried the cat in the soil while it was dark, and my lord held a lantern. I dug the hole."
"Dig!" Zhou Fengnian raised his hand, and immediately someone came in, and continued to dig down the hole dug in the morning.
Xiao Chuan quietly glanced at Lin Shen and the old carpenter.
It was dark and he had done something wrong, Xiao Chuan was afraid, so he buried the burden very shallow, and dug it out with a shovel.However, this morning.He obviously dug in the right place, but what he dug out turned out to be stones. . .
It was still the pit, and the rocks were dug out.
Zhou Fengnian didn't care about 21, grabbed Xiao Chuan's scalp and said grimly, "Are you kidding me?"
"Don't dare, dare not, I definitely remember correctly, these two must have tampered with it!" Xiao Chuan pointed out.
Zhou Fengnian squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, then suddenly walked towards Lin Shen, and asked directly, "Is that you?"
"I did it for self-protection." Lin Shen nodded, went to the corner and moved a big rock, and the soil under the rock also showed signs of being moved.
After discovering the dead cat in the pit, the old carpenter was shocked.
"Even if you want to bury this thing, you don't have to be sneaky, right?"
Lin Shen thought more. He took the cat out and put it aside, picked up a few stones and put them in. At the same time, he asked the old carpenter to cut the weeds on the side and put them together in the cloth bag.In addition, a pit was dug to bury the cat. In the previous pit to bury the cloth bag, a civet cat came to replace the prince.
Xiao Chuan was stunned, he didn't expect that what they were looking for was so close.If in the morning, they lifted the stone to take a look, the blame for killing the cat would be cast out.
Just one step away! !
Holding the pet cat who was stiff all over, Zhou Fengnian was so sad that he shed tears.He didn't even look at Lin Shen, and walked away with the people.
"He won't take revenge on you?" the old carpenter asked worriedly.
"I didn't kill the cat. Why did he take revenge on me? On the contrary, he also thanked me for helping him find the murderer of the cat." Lin Shen said calmly.
"You played them all," said the old carpenter.
"If I didn't do anything, we might be kicked out without even getting paid, because they underestimated us." Lin Shen said.
Contrary to the old carpenter's expectation, Zhou Fengnian didn't bother them.The next few days passed peacefully.
After a few days, Zhou Xiang felt that Zhou Fengnian's anger had dissipated, so he came back cheekily and gave Zhou Fengnian a more beautiful cat.
Zhou Xiang ran into the backyard excitedly.
Lin Shen is carving patterns on the wardrobe.
The old carpenter looked at him in panic.
"I really didn't expect that you didn't have such scheming. I really underestimated you before." Zhou Xiang sneered again and again.
Lin Shen's hands were very steady, and he insisted on finishing the pattern before straightening up.He looked at Zhou Xiang coldly, and said with a smile, "I want to frame others, but I shot myself in the end. I feel very uncomfortable, don't you?"
"You're courting death!" Zhou Xiang was furious, and he raised his fist to hit Lin Shen.
Lin Shen is no longer the weak chicken he was before. He often works and walks up and down the mountains. Seeing that he doesn't have much meat on his body, his strength is much greater than that of the pampered son.
He grabbed Zhou Xiang's wrist and twisted it lightly with a sneer, Zhou Xiang cried out in pain: "Ouch, Ouch..."
The servant stood at the door, heard the voice and was too late to save him. He watched Lin Shen push his master to the side wall.
"I'm not a servant of your Zhou family. You can beat and scold me as much as you want. If you dare to touch me, I will scold all the eighteen generations of your Zhou family's ancestors when I go out, so that everyone nearby can listen. Listen." Lin Shen whispered in his ear.
Zhou Xiang was sweating profusely from the pain, and said weakly, "You, let me go and talk if you have something to say."
"I'm talking human words to you. I'm afraid that if you let go of you, you won't understand. If you are willing to have a good talk with me, I will let you go. Do you think it's okay?" Lin Shen discussed with him.
"All right."
As long as Lin Shen is willing to let him go, Zhou Xiang will agree to anything.
Lin Shen let go, and Zhou Xiang immediately fell into the servant's arms, looking at him with hatred.
"Who gave your dog the guts to treat me like this?"
"Look, I told you that you don't understand human language." Lin Shen said.
It took Zhou Xiang a long time to react, and the veins on his neck stood up with anger: "You are not human!"
Lin Shen wiped his face, not wanting to deal with the mentally handicapped, and continued with his work.
Zhou Xiang didn't give up, and started beeping again.What words are ugly, what did he say.
After talking for a long time, Zhou Xiang's mouth was dry. Not only did Lin Shen not get angry, he even whistled a ballad with a weird tune.
Zhou Xiang was so angry: "You are really thick-skinned."
"You are also very strong, and you can speak well by yourself," Lin Shen said.
At this time, Zhou Ji came.
It is estimated that he heard that Zhou Xiang went to the backyard to make trouble, so he came here when he got the news.
Zhou Ji glared at Zhou Xiang, and gently asked Lin Shen some questions, and Lin Shen answered them with a good attitude.
Zhou Xiang looked at it coldly, thinking that Lin Shen could really pretend.When facing him, there was a hint of evil in the ferocity.When facing his father, he seemed to be a different person again.
When Zhou Ji left, he signaled Zhou Xiang to go with him with his eyes.
Zhou Xiang agreed, and lightly bumped Lin Shen and said, "You really know how to pretend, you behave like a son in front of my father."
"What kind of face I have depends on who you are." Lin Shen pushed back.
Zhou Xiang didn't take advantage of it again, and left angrily.
The old carpenter said: "As soon as tomorrow is over, we will go home. Before that, no matter what he says, you will ignore it."
Lin Shen said helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong with him, so he's following me."
Zhou Xiang went out, and decided to mobilize his bad friends to come up with a seamless way to teach Lin Shen a lesson.
Someone said: "Isn't that simple?"
Zhou Xiang hurried over: "I would like to hear about it."
"Find a way to hook him out. You let a group of people lie in ambush in the dark, put a bag on him and look for him, beat him to death and run away. He doesn't even know who beat him."
Zhou Xiang's eyes lit up: "This method is good."
These bad friends gave him a lot of ideas.
He held back the bad water in his stomach, and walked briskly back home.
The backyard was empty.
Zhou Xiang asked in surprise, "Where are people?"
"Take the wages and leave." The servant replied.
After the work was done and the money was in hand, Lin Shen and the old carpenter were very relaxed.Zhou Ji is a kind person, considering Lin Shen was wronged, he gave them some rewards.
The money bag is bulging, and people are in good spirits on happy occasions.
The two discussed it and asked the Zhou Mansion's carriage to take them to the market, and they would think of a way for the rest of the way.
The market here is not as good as in big cities, but it is also very lively.Although there are shops nearby and some daily necessities can be bought, it is not as complete as the market.Things that you can't usually see have sprung up like mushrooms, and the prices are much cheaper than usual.Everyone understands this truth. If you usually have something you want to buy, you save it and buy it on Daji, in order to save a few dollars.
Therefore, the market is very lively, with some selling wild vegetables, some selling wild rabbits, some selling millet, and some performing chest breaking boulders.
There was a bang of gongs and drums, and all the people nearby surrounded him.
A big shirtless man punched his chest a few times, then lay down on the ground.Someone pressed a stone on his chest, and two spectators were selected on the spot to verify the authenticity.The audience rolled up their sleeves one after another. In order to fight for two places, there was almost bloodshed.
After proving that the stone was real, one person raised the hammer high and smashed it on the stone with a bang.The stone shattered and broke into several pieces, but the people underneath were safe and sound.
The shirtless man stood up, shaking off the stone scum all over his body.
"it is good!"
The audience responded enthusiastically and applauded continuously.
Lin Shen threw a copper coin over, and the street performer politely said thank you.
Lin Shen turned around and left without seeing a child pointing at him, and shouted to his parents, "Look, that's the third uncle!"
"Where is it?" Lin Yue stared over, but Lin Shen had long since disappeared.
Not far away is a monkey tricker.
Several monkeys stepped on the shoulder of the lower one one by one, and successfully hooked the top fruit.
The monkey juggler fed the monkeys dates and began to praise the group of monkeys for somersaulting.Most of the people who watched this were children, and the adults accompanied the children. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the children let out bursts of laughter from time to time.
After watching the monkey show, Lin Shen and the old carpenter came to the place where grain, oil and noodles were sold.Those who set up the stalls are all nearby farmers, who sell the extra rice and noodles from their own homes, so as to exchange some money for the needs of the family.
The old carpenter walked over with his hands behind his back, and someone greeted him immediately: "Old man, look at my face..."
"My noodles are good, you can take them at a good price."
"My rice is good, look at the snow white."
There is no rice or noodles at home, and I need to buy both.
The old carpenter probably knew what he was doing from the beginning to the end, and he turned back to bargain with others.After some bargaining, I bought half a bag of noodles and half a bag of rice.
The next question is how to bring things back.
The old carpenter turned around calmly and found an acquaintance.
This man was called Zhang Donkey, because his family had a donkey, and everyone in the village called him that, and no one knew what his real name was.
Zhang Lvzi came to set up a stall. He wove some bamboo baskets, and his wife made some insoles.No matter how much you sell or how little you sell, at least you can subsidize your family.
The old carpenter agreed with Zhang Donkey to take them with him when he left.According to the rules, they gave Zhang donkey three copper coins, which was regarded as the fare of the car.
Zhang Luzi agreed very simply, and he wanted to go home anyway.If someone rides in his donkey cart, he still has copper coins to earn, so why not do it?
The old carpenter was tired from walking, so he sat in front of Zhang Donkey's stall and asked Lin Shen to go shopping by himself for a while.
"Did you see that incense stick? You have to come back when this incense stick burns to the end. The donkey is about to close its stall, so we should go home too." said the old carpenter.
For the convenience of timing and to promote their own incense, someone put a stick of incense on the middle table.One incense lasts about an hour, and now the incense is half burnt.In other words, he will return to this place in an hour.
Lin Shen fully agreed, and wandered to the area of flowers, birds and fish.
Someone catches a cicada and sells it. I don’t know how to preserve it. The shell of the cicada has not shed yet, and the cicada is still alive, crawling around in the wooden barrel.
There are also people selling fish. The whole body of the fish is golden yellow, which looks very festive.
Lin Shen rushed past several flower beds.
In this era when we can’t get enough to eat, people who love flowers are extremely precious. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by, and they just leave after a few glances.
Orchids, peonies, etc., are all flowers that Lin Shen knows the name of.What he was looking for were white vines or wisterias, but unfortunately they were not sold here.
A flower farmer said: "Yes, there are, but not many are planted. This thing grows very big. It looks good, but it is expensive. If you really want it, I will help you find out."
Lin Shen was very grateful, and asked about his home address, and found that he lived not far from Lin Shen.
It was getting late, and Lin Shen bid farewell to the flower farmers and came to Zhang Luzi's booth.
The old carpenter was helping Zhang donkey to collect the stall, and threw the things into the donkey cart with a cloth bag.There was another person standing beside him, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, still cursing.
Lin Shen looked over for a long time before realizing that this person was Lin He.
"Second brother, why did you become like this?"
Lin He was so wronged that he almost shed tears: "I don't know which bastard set up a trick, saying that I lost money, and seduced me into a small alley. Just as I reached out to ask for money, a cloth bag fell from the sky... "
Lin He also came to the fair, his wife and children were at home, and he came alone.At that time, he was in front of a cloth stall when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned his head and saw a well-dressed man standing behind him, spreading out a large handful of copper coins in his palm, and asked kindly, "Did you lose this money?"
Lin He touched his pocket reflexively, and was about to say that he didn't lose the money, but after a second thought, the money was delivered to his door, and he had no reason to refuse it.
Rolling his eyes, he said, "I lost it, thank you."
He reached out to get the money, and the man clasped his palms together and said seriously: "I picked up this money, and anyone who sees it will have a share. Since it's your money, I'll return it to you. You can't take some of it." No benefit to me."
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Lin He hurriedly said, "What do you want?"
"Let's find a place to discuss how much you have to give me." The man pushed him away.
Entering the alley, what greeted Lin He was not money, but a big cloth bag.
He was shrouded inside, and he couldn't see who was beating him, anyway, it wasn't alone.After punching and kicking him for a while, those people disappeared in an instant.
He sucked in the pain, opened the cloth bag on top of his head, and cursed loudly.
The group of people who hit people didn't know they hit the wrong person.Lin Shen and Lin He are brothers, and it's not surprising that they look somewhat imaginative.They took the money happily, and Zhou Xiang sat in the carriage, rolling with laughter: "Lin Sanlang, you are worthy of fighting with me? Get the hell out of here, I can't kill you?"
Holding the cloth bag in his hand, Lin He sucked his teeth and said, "There is also a cloth bag left behind, the beating is not in vain."
Without further ado, a few people got into the donkey cart.
Zhang donkey harnessed the donkey cart, did not rush to wave his whip, and glanced at Lin He several times.
Lin He pressed his red eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Luzi stretched out his hand and looked straight at him: "Give me the money."
Lin He's eyes fluttered: "I owe it first, and I will give it to you next time."
"Next time and next time, when will it be big? You have been in my car several times, and you have said you owe it every time, and you will pay it next time. I am afraid that if you owe it again, you will be in the coffin. " Zhang Donkey hummed.
He didn't want to be like this either, because every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there are several people in the family waiting to eat and drink.It's okay to owe it once or twice, and everyone has a time when they can't solve the problem, but Lin He is too thick-skinned, he keeps sitting in his car, and he doesn't want to pay a penny, so he bullies an honest man like him, he doesn't want to I'm used to Lin He, so I have to give the money today.
"I didn't bring any money when I came out this time—" He gave Lin Shen a sideways look as he spoke.
The old carpenter looked at him coldly: "I saw that you took out money to buy something, and you have a lot of money in your pocket. You should have a lot left in your pocket, so you don't even have a copper coin."
Lin Shen's hands were all in his pockets, and he shrank back when he heard this.He can manage Lin He once or twice, but not every time.Lin He obviously has money, but refuses to give it to him. This kind of behavior cannot be supported.
"Get out of the car if you don't pay." Zhang Donkey came over to paw at Linhe.
Lin He was in a hurry, and yelled out what was in his heart: "Third brother, you have money in hand just after finishing the work, so lend some money to brother first. When brother has money, I will return it to you immediately."
Lin Shen looked puzzled: "I bought rice noodles, and the family is almost out of steam. My master gave me the money for the car ride."
"You white-eyed wolf!" Lin He turned into anger when he was extremely annoyed, and opened his mouth to curse.After scolding, the money still has to be given.Zhang Luzi's performance told him that if he didn't give the money, he would have to walk back on his legs today.
"Here you are!" Lin He took out four copper coins and threw them at Zhang Donkey.
The copper plate fell to the ground, Zhang donkey frowned and looked at him, bent down to pick up the copper plates one by one.
"And today's."
Lin He blushed and said thickly, "I'll give it to you next time. I'm not just sitting this time."
Donkey Zhang: "Then next time."
He sat in front of the cart and said without raising his head, "Sit firmly and go home."
Lin Shen felt very uncomfortable, and said to Lin He, "Why are you throwing money on the ground?"
Isn't this insulting?
Lin He was getting angry with him, and shouted: "You don't care, I don't have a brother like you, why don't you die?"
The wind whistled, and a round of setting sun hung on the horizon, painting everyone's face with gold.
Lin Shen didn't speak, just looked at him without blinking.
I don't know if it was caused by the wind, but the goosebumps on Lin He's arms rose up.The original owner is not a thing, if you don't like it, just beat him, he is really afraid of Lin Shen.
"I, I, I..." His mouth was uncontrollable.
Lin Shen glanced at him contemptuously, then turned his head to look at the rapidly retreating scenery.
Lin Shen secretly relaxed his body.
Get out of the donkey cart and go back to each house.
Lin Shen carried a bag in one hand and returned home easily.
As soon as he sat down, the old carpenter taught him: "In the donkey cart, if I hadn't stopped you, would you have paid your brother?"
Lin Shen smiled: "I thought he really had no money."
"You are still too immature, and you almost fell for him. He is an old rascal. Every time he rides in a donkey's car, he always promises to give it to him next time. Every time he rides, he says that every time, he is just a fool." I can't believe him anymore. If he is reluctant to part with this copper coin, he can walk back by himself, but he doesn't want to go, because he wants to take a car and take advantage of a donkey. He is capable, but he is too petty. It's all too calculating..."
The old carpenter told Lin Shen a lot, and Lin Shen listened obediently.
"I talk so much, you don't find me annoying, do you?"
For a long time, the old carpenter said unsatisfactorily.
Lin Shen smiled and said: "No, someone reminded me, I can avoid a lot of detours, I am too happy."
He had already boiled the water and poured boiling hot water into the small teapot.
"You just know how to talk." The old carpenter blew the foam off the tea bowl and drank the tea leisurely.
Lin Shen was thinking about the sweet potatoes in the backyard, and kept looking at them.
The sweet potato grows gratifyingly, it is only as long as a palm when walking, and there are not many green leaves.I haven't been back these days, and a lot of green leaves have grown out, and I still faintly lie on the ground.
Feeling that the soil was a bit dry, Lin Shen went to the front yard to fetch water and watered every sweet potato plant.After absorbing the water, the sweet potatoes looked more energetic, and all of them straightened up.The breeze blows gently, and the shaking of the head looks very gratifying.
...
Zhou Xiang was born in a house fight, and his few words were very provocative.
Not only the servants who followed in, even Zhou Fengnian looked at Lin Shen differently.
"Get out of the way, I'll dig." Zhou Fengnian's eyes were reddish, he pushed away a servant who was digging a pit, and picked up the hoe himself.
Lin Shen didn't speak, but took a step back.
The old carpenter stood aside indifferently.
Zhou Fengnian cast a gloomy look at Lin Shen, walked up to the old carpenter and said in a low voice, "Your biggest mistake was accepting Lin Shen as an apprentice. He is not a thing."
If the fat cat's body was found in this courtyard, Zhou Fengnian would definitely go crazy.At that time, the old carpenter and Lin Shen will be kicked out.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely comfortable, and the corner of his mouth was about to curl up.Zhou Fengnian stopped what he was doing and stared at the dug hole motionlessly.
"What's inside?" Zhou Xiang lowered his head to look down, and then the expression on his face froze.
A piece of cloth was thrown into the pit, wrapping a large piece of stuff.Even with the eyes, you can't tell what it is.
Zhou Fengnian said coldly: "Take out the contents."
A servant was lying on the side and took out the cloth bag. The cloth bag was stained with mud and looked dirty.
Zhou Fengnian turned his head and stared at Lin Shen: "What's in it?"
Lin Shen said flatly, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
He stayed in the backyard with his master and never went out once. A black pot fell from the sky and almost killed them. Who did they provoke?
"Pretend, you are still pretending here. Open the bag and see what is inside, so that he can die with confidence!" Zhou Xiang regained his energy.
The main event is coming!
Under Zhou Xiang's signal, the servants unpacked the package lightly, and then they were stunned.
"Get out of the way, will you do something?"
Impatient, Zhou Xiang kicked away the servant standing in front of him.
Inside the burden is a bag of stones, and a lot of grass is wrapped outside the stones.
Zhou Xiang was stunned.
Zhou Fengnian glanced at it, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's good that it's not my beloved cat."
Zhou Xiang blinked his eyes a few times, and his suspicious eyes fell on Lin Shen and the old carpenter.
The old carpenter laughed loudly: "Who buried it? It took so much effort to bury a pile of stones here, it's a waste of time."
Zhou Fengnian was also very puzzled: "Didn't you guys bury it?"
"Master and I are here to work. We are so exhausted during the day and sleep like dead pigs at night. How can we have time for such pranks?" Lin Shen said coldly.
"It wasn't you, who made it?" Zhou Fengnian asked angrily.
"I have a guess." Lin Shen said.
"Say!" Zhou Fengnian lowered his face.
There was something odd about it all, probably something to do with his lost cat, and he was eager to know why.
"My master and I are outsiders, but we can see clearly from the outside. We have never been out of this yard. We are busy working during the day, and only people who deliver food will come in. Of course, sometimes the boss will come to see us doing work. The progress of life. It can be said that anyone's every move, as long as it is in the daytime, cannot escape our eyes..."
Zhou Fengnian said impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? I just want to know where my cat went!"
"It means that someone secretly buried things in the backyard while my master and I were sleeping at night. As for where your cat is, the person who buried things here must know."
Lin Shen said so much just to get him and his master out.How the Zhou family fights has nothing to do with him and the master, they are here to work anyway.It is only natural for them to work and be paid by their employers.
Zhou Fengnian was not stupid. After calming down, he also thought of some doubts.He looked at Zhou Xiang, and said in a cold voice, "Brother, you suggested to search the backyard, what do you say now?"
"I?"
Zhou Xiang was calm on the surface, but he had already scolded Lin Shen bloody in his heart.Things have developed to this point, no matter how stupid he is, he still knows that the perfect plan has gone wrong.He was [-]% sure that Lin Shen had tampered with it.Lin Shen wouldn't admit it, and he couldn't tell Zhou Fengnian the truth, otherwise he would be the one who died.
"Brother, tell me the truth, what did you do to my cat?" Zhou Fengnian asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm also kind, and I want to help you find your cat..." Zhou Xiang stepped back with fear on his face.
"This cloth is not something ordinary people can use. It looks like a tablecloth." Lin Shen focused on the cloth covered with stones.
Hearing this, Zhou Fengnian's face changed slightly.His mistake was that he underestimated Lin Shen's IQ, and he also made a mistake in overestimating his own IQ.
Zhou Fengnian also saw it, and said with a sinister smile: "Brother, I didn't see it just now, it seems to be the tablecloth in your room?"
"Really? I don't know. You know that I only care about eating, drinking and having fun. I have never paid much attention to the layout of the room. I just use whatever Ah Mo arranges for me. Besides, I do big things. Man, I don't care about such small things..."
Zhou Xiang panicked, he didn't dare to meet Zhou Fengnian's eyes, he didn't know what nonsense he was talking about.
By now, Zhou Fengnian understood everything.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Since it's not you, then it's the servants in your yard. Someone, arrest them all, and beat them to death one by one. I don't believe that I can't pry these people's mouths open!"
Several strong servants rushed forward and pinned the people around Zhou Xiang to the ground, including Zhou Xiang's most powerful servant.
The waiter lay on the ground, ate a mouthful of mud, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty begged me, I was wronged."
Zhou Xiang frowned, looked at Zhou Fengnian with dissatisfaction, and said, "Fengnian, don't you take me too seriously? Xiao Chuan is my close friend, and I will take him into the room sooner or later. Said It's an ugly sentence, whether you like it or not, you have to call him sister-in-law. If you treat him like this, where will you put the big brother's face? "
"Sister-in-law? Is he worthy?!"
Zhou Fengnian raised the hem of his clothes and kicked it up, stepping viciously on the servant's face.
The waiter couldn't dodge in time, and let out a scream like killing a pig.
Looking again, I saw two tubes of nosebleeds coming out of his nose, looking very tragic.
"Take it away!" Zhou Fengnian said coldly.
He strode away with his people.
"Fengnian!"
Zhou Xiang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he swallowed his anger and chased after him.
He was the eldest brother, but he had to put up with Zhou Fengnian, that's why Zhou Fengnian knew that the prefect son was not a good match, so he wanted to marry that bastard.
Power can bring money, and it can also make him superior.He was destined to marry the prince of the prefect, and Zhou Xiang was so afraid that it wasn't his father and ah, but the prince of the prefect behind Zhou Fengnian.In the future, when Zhou Xiang inherits the Zhou family, he will also live on the breath of Zhou Fengnian.
This is the harsh reality.
"so close."
After everyone left, the old carpenter closed the backyard door and whispered to Lin Shen when he came back.
If Lin Shen hadn't made a quick decision, the scapegoat would have become their mentor and apprentice.
"It's impossible for someone to harm others, and it's imperative to be on guard. This Zhou family is too deep, and this little brother Zhou is very scheming and ruthless..."
If you say hit someone, hit someone, there is no warning at all.The old carpenter watched helplessly, Zhou Fengnian stomped the man until he was breathless.The servant who was being punished didn't dare to have a single rebuttal.
"It's too right for you to withdraw from him. This is a thorny flower. If you marry her, you will not be able to live in the family. It will turn the family upside down." The old carpenter whispered.
Lin Shen told about the commotion he heard in the courtyard last night.
"I heard two people. One was digging the soil, and the other was probably holding a lantern. The light was very subtle. I didn't really think about it at the time. I was half asleep and half awake thinking I was dreaming."
The old carpenter nodded: "You are doing the right thing. If I heard it, it would be useless. I wouldn't think too deeply. I thought I could hang around for a while, but now it seems that we should finish the work quickly and let's go home Go. If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid you will have long nights and dreams."
Lin Shen couldn't help laughing, it seemed that the master was really scared.
"Why are you laughing? Hurry up and work." The old carpenter slapped him and said angrily.
"Hey, work." Lin Shen repeatedly agreed.
The backyard is calm, but the front yard has been turned upside down.
The servants lying on the ground all over the yard were all from Zhou Xiang's yard.
Refuse to betray Zhou Xiang?
Then fight until you are willing to speak.
Zhou Fengnian sat on a high place, looking down with a cold expression.
There was a scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves below.
Zhou Xiang's face stinks to death, and he watched helplessly as the people in his yard were knocked out and dragged out.
Xiaochuan is not dizzy yet, but he has reached his limit.The butt was smashed, and the ground was wet with blood.
He felt that he was about to die, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he looked at Zhou Xiang with weak and expectant eyes: "Woo, I don't want to die, please save me, since I have served you for so many years... .”
Someone couldn't bear it, and cried, "I saw it. I saw the cat running into the house. Afterwards, I heard the scolding sound from Mr. Lang. I also saw Mr. Lang coming out with something in his arms, and he wouldn't let anyone follow him." ..."
Now that Zhou Xiang didn't want to admit it, he couldn't do it anymore.
"That fat cat should have died a long time ago. I was sleeping in the room. It startled me by running in. I hit it and it jumped up and scratched me. It wasn't the first time. I was so angry that I picked up a vase and smashed it, who knew that it fell down on the spot without being beaten," Zhou Xiang said.
"Brother, you are so cruel! You know that I love it like my life, even if it causes a catastrophe, I am the master. Before you hit it, can I say hello to you?" Zhou Fengnian's eyes Immediately became red, stood up and roared at Zhou Xiang.
The commotion was too loud, attracting Zhou Ji and his wife.
Zhou Fengnian went berserk and threatened to stab Zhou Xiang to death.
Zhou Xiang was frightened by his disheveled hair, and knew that he was approaching a catastrophe, so he ordered a few loyal servants to stop Zhou Fengnian desperately, he rushed out the gate and jumped into the carriage, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Listening to the movement coming from the front, the old carpenter shook his head: "There are so many movements, I'm not afraid that others will hear the joke."
"Zhou Shen is really not a thing. He killed the cat in all likelihood. I was afraid that Zhou Fengnian would scold him, so I came up with such an idea of killing a thousand swords. It not only taught him a lesson for not liking me, but also got rid of a scapegoat." Lin Shen pondered for a while, and finally figured it out.
"What kind of grudge do you have against him? He wants to cheat you like this?" said the old carpenter.
Lin Shen smiled wryly, "I offended him before."
Not only this reason, but Zhou Xiang knows why.
Jiang Daizhen was much colder towards him. Recently, he went to play with Jiang Daizhen, and often sent someone to tell him that Jiang Daizhen was not there.It's fine once or twice, but the more times he became suspicious.He used his banknote ability to buy the servants of Jiang's inner courtyard with money. The servants told him that Jiang Daizhen often went to play with a little carpenter named Lin Sanlang. . .
In the afternoon, Zhou Fengnian came again, carrying a servant lying on the door with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
This person is Xiao Chuan, Zhou Xiang's personal servant.Zhou Xiang ran away and threw the mess to him, and he took over the burden of finishing with tears.
"That's right here. My lord and I buried the cat in the soil while it was dark, and my lord held a lantern. I dug the hole."
"Dig!" Zhou Fengnian raised his hand, and immediately someone came in, and continued to dig down the hole dug in the morning.
Xiao Chuan quietly glanced at Lin Shen and the old carpenter.
It was dark and he had done something wrong, Xiao Chuan was afraid, so he buried the burden very shallow, and dug it out with a shovel.However, this morning.He obviously dug in the right place, but what he dug out turned out to be stones. . .
It was still the pit, and the rocks were dug out.
Zhou Fengnian didn't care about 21, grabbed Xiao Chuan's scalp and said grimly, "Are you kidding me?"
"Don't dare, dare not, I definitely remember correctly, these two must have tampered with it!" Xiao Chuan pointed out.
Zhou Fengnian squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, then suddenly walked towards Lin Shen, and asked directly, "Is that you?"
"I did it for self-protection." Lin Shen nodded, went to the corner and moved a big rock, and the soil under the rock also showed signs of being moved.
After discovering the dead cat in the pit, the old carpenter was shocked.
"Even if you want to bury this thing, you don't have to be sneaky, right?"
Lin Shen thought more. He took the cat out and put it aside, picked up a few stones and put them in. At the same time, he asked the old carpenter to cut the weeds on the side and put them together in the cloth bag.In addition, a pit was dug to bury the cat. In the previous pit to bury the cloth bag, a civet cat came to replace the prince.
Xiao Chuan was stunned, he didn't expect that what they were looking for was so close.If in the morning, they lifted the stone to take a look, the blame for killing the cat would be cast out.
Just one step away! !
Holding the pet cat who was stiff all over, Zhou Fengnian was so sad that he shed tears.He didn't even look at Lin Shen, and walked away with the people.
"He won't take revenge on you?" the old carpenter asked worriedly.
"I didn't kill the cat. Why did he take revenge on me? On the contrary, he also thanked me for helping him find the murderer of the cat." Lin Shen said calmly.
"You played them all," said the old carpenter.
"If I didn't do anything, we might be kicked out without even getting paid, because they underestimated us." Lin Shen said.
Contrary to the old carpenter's expectation, Zhou Fengnian didn't bother them.The next few days passed peacefully.
After a few days, Zhou Xiang felt that Zhou Fengnian's anger had dissipated, so he came back cheekily and gave Zhou Fengnian a more beautiful cat.
Zhou Xiang ran into the backyard excitedly.
Lin Shen is carving patterns on the wardrobe.
The old carpenter looked at him in panic.
"I really didn't expect that you didn't have such scheming. I really underestimated you before." Zhou Xiang sneered again and again.
Lin Shen's hands were very steady, and he insisted on finishing the pattern before straightening up.He looked at Zhou Xiang coldly, and said with a smile, "I want to frame others, but I shot myself in the end. I feel very uncomfortable, don't you?"
"You're courting death!" Zhou Xiang was furious, and he raised his fist to hit Lin Shen.
Lin Shen is no longer the weak chicken he was before. He often works and walks up and down the mountains. Seeing that he doesn't have much meat on his body, his strength is much greater than that of the pampered son.
He grabbed Zhou Xiang's wrist and twisted it lightly with a sneer, Zhou Xiang cried out in pain: "Ouch, Ouch..."
The servant stood at the door, heard the voice and was too late to save him. He watched Lin Shen push his master to the side wall.
"I'm not a servant of your Zhou family. You can beat and scold me as much as you want. If you dare to touch me, I will scold all the eighteen generations of your Zhou family's ancestors when I go out, so that everyone nearby can listen. Listen." Lin Shen whispered in his ear.
Zhou Xiang was sweating profusely from the pain, and said weakly, "You, let me go and talk if you have something to say."
"I'm talking human words to you. I'm afraid that if you let go of you, you won't understand. If you are willing to have a good talk with me, I will let you go. Do you think it's okay?" Lin Shen discussed with him.
"All right."
As long as Lin Shen is willing to let him go, Zhou Xiang will agree to anything.
Lin Shen let go, and Zhou Xiang immediately fell into the servant's arms, looking at him with hatred.
"Who gave your dog the guts to treat me like this?"
"Look, I told you that you don't understand human language." Lin Shen said.
It took Zhou Xiang a long time to react, and the veins on his neck stood up with anger: "You are not human!"
Lin Shen wiped his face, not wanting to deal with the mentally handicapped, and continued with his work.
Zhou Xiang didn't give up, and started beeping again.What words are ugly, what did he say.
After talking for a long time, Zhou Xiang's mouth was dry. Not only did Lin Shen not get angry, he even whistled a ballad with a weird tune.
Zhou Xiang was so angry: "You are really thick-skinned."
"You are also very strong, and you can speak well by yourself," Lin Shen said.
At this time, Zhou Ji came.
It is estimated that he heard that Zhou Xiang went to the backyard to make trouble, so he came here when he got the news.
Zhou Ji glared at Zhou Xiang, and gently asked Lin Shen some questions, and Lin Shen answered them with a good attitude.
Zhou Xiang looked at it coldly, thinking that Lin Shen could really pretend.When facing him, there was a hint of evil in the ferocity.When facing his father, he seemed to be a different person again.
When Zhou Ji left, he signaled Zhou Xiang to go with him with his eyes.
Zhou Xiang agreed, and lightly bumped Lin Shen and said, "You really know how to pretend, you behave like a son in front of my father."
"What kind of face I have depends on who you are." Lin Shen pushed back.
Zhou Xiang didn't take advantage of it again, and left angrily.
The old carpenter said: "As soon as tomorrow is over, we will go home. Before that, no matter what he says, you will ignore it."
Lin Shen said helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong with him, so he's following me."
Zhou Xiang went out, and decided to mobilize his bad friends to come up with a seamless way to teach Lin Shen a lesson.
Someone said: "Isn't that simple?"
Zhou Xiang hurried over: "I would like to hear about it."
"Find a way to hook him out. You let a group of people lie in ambush in the dark, put a bag on him and look for him, beat him to death and run away. He doesn't even know who beat him."
Zhou Xiang's eyes lit up: "This method is good."
These bad friends gave him a lot of ideas.
He held back the bad water in his stomach, and walked briskly back home.
The backyard was empty.
Zhou Xiang asked in surprise, "Where are people?"
"Take the wages and leave." The servant replied.
After the work was done and the money was in hand, Lin Shen and the old carpenter were very relaxed.Zhou Ji is a kind person, considering Lin Shen was wronged, he gave them some rewards.
The money bag is bulging, and people are in good spirits on happy occasions.
The two discussed it and asked the Zhou Mansion's carriage to take them to the market, and they would think of a way for the rest of the way.
The market here is not as good as in big cities, but it is also very lively.Although there are shops nearby and some daily necessities can be bought, it is not as complete as the market.Things that you can't usually see have sprung up like mushrooms, and the prices are much cheaper than usual.Everyone understands this truth. If you usually have something you want to buy, you save it and buy it on Daji, in order to save a few dollars.
Therefore, the market is very lively, with some selling wild vegetables, some selling wild rabbits, some selling millet, and some performing chest breaking boulders.
There was a bang of gongs and drums, and all the people nearby surrounded him.
A big shirtless man punched his chest a few times, then lay down on the ground.Someone pressed a stone on his chest, and two spectators were selected on the spot to verify the authenticity.The audience rolled up their sleeves one after another. In order to fight for two places, there was almost bloodshed.
After proving that the stone was real, one person raised the hammer high and smashed it on the stone with a bang.The stone shattered and broke into several pieces, but the people underneath were safe and sound.
The shirtless man stood up, shaking off the stone scum all over his body.
"it is good!"
The audience responded enthusiastically and applauded continuously.
Lin Shen threw a copper coin over, and the street performer politely said thank you.
Lin Shen turned around and left without seeing a child pointing at him, and shouted to his parents, "Look, that's the third uncle!"
"Where is it?" Lin Yue stared over, but Lin Shen had long since disappeared.
Not far away is a monkey tricker.
Several monkeys stepped on the shoulder of the lower one one by one, and successfully hooked the top fruit.
The monkey juggler fed the monkeys dates and began to praise the group of monkeys for somersaulting.Most of the people who watched this were children, and the adults accompanied the children. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the children let out bursts of laughter from time to time.
After watching the monkey show, Lin Shen and the old carpenter came to the place where grain, oil and noodles were sold.Those who set up the stalls are all nearby farmers, who sell the extra rice and noodles from their own homes, so as to exchange some money for the needs of the family.
The old carpenter walked over with his hands behind his back, and someone greeted him immediately: "Old man, look at my face..."
"My noodles are good, you can take them at a good price."
"My rice is good, look at the snow white."
There is no rice or noodles at home, and I need to buy both.
The old carpenter probably knew what he was doing from the beginning to the end, and he turned back to bargain with others.After some bargaining, I bought half a bag of noodles and half a bag of rice.
The next question is how to bring things back.
The old carpenter turned around calmly and found an acquaintance.
This man was called Zhang Donkey, because his family had a donkey, and everyone in the village called him that, and no one knew what his real name was.
Zhang Lvzi came to set up a stall. He wove some bamboo baskets, and his wife made some insoles.No matter how much you sell or how little you sell, at least you can subsidize your family.
The old carpenter agreed with Zhang Donkey to take them with him when he left.According to the rules, they gave Zhang donkey three copper coins, which was regarded as the fare of the car.
Zhang Luzi agreed very simply, and he wanted to go home anyway.If someone rides in his donkey cart, he still has copper coins to earn, so why not do it?
The old carpenter was tired from walking, so he sat in front of Zhang Donkey's stall and asked Lin Shen to go shopping by himself for a while.
"Did you see that incense stick? You have to come back when this incense stick burns to the end. The donkey is about to close its stall, so we should go home too." said the old carpenter.
For the convenience of timing and to promote their own incense, someone put a stick of incense on the middle table.One incense lasts about an hour, and now the incense is half burnt.In other words, he will return to this place in an hour.
Lin Shen fully agreed, and wandered to the area of flowers, birds and fish.
Someone catches a cicada and sells it. I don’t know how to preserve it. The shell of the cicada has not shed yet, and the cicada is still alive, crawling around in the wooden barrel.
There are also people selling fish. The whole body of the fish is golden yellow, which looks very festive.
Lin Shen rushed past several flower beds.
In this era when we can’t get enough to eat, people who love flowers are extremely precious. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by, and they just leave after a few glances.
Orchids, peonies, etc., are all flowers that Lin Shen knows the name of.What he was looking for were white vines or wisterias, but unfortunately they were not sold here.
A flower farmer said: "Yes, there are, but not many are planted. This thing grows very big. It looks good, but it is expensive. If you really want it, I will help you find out."
Lin Shen was very grateful, and asked about his home address, and found that he lived not far from Lin Shen.
It was getting late, and Lin Shen bid farewell to the flower farmers and came to Zhang Luzi's booth.
The old carpenter was helping Zhang donkey to collect the stall, and threw the things into the donkey cart with a cloth bag.There was another person standing beside him, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, still cursing.
Lin Shen looked over for a long time before realizing that this person was Lin He.
"Second brother, why did you become like this?"
Lin He was so wronged that he almost shed tears: "I don't know which bastard set up a trick, saying that I lost money, and seduced me into a small alley. Just as I reached out to ask for money, a cloth bag fell from the sky... "
Lin He also came to the fair, his wife and children were at home, and he came alone.At that time, he was in front of a cloth stall when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned his head and saw a well-dressed man standing behind him, spreading out a large handful of copper coins in his palm, and asked kindly, "Did you lose this money?"
Lin He touched his pocket reflexively, and was about to say that he didn't lose the money, but after a second thought, the money was delivered to his door, and he had no reason to refuse it.
Rolling his eyes, he said, "I lost it, thank you."
He reached out to get the money, and the man clasped his palms together and said seriously: "I picked up this money, and anyone who sees it will have a share. Since it's your money, I'll return it to you. You can't take some of it." No benefit to me."
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Lin He hurriedly said, "What do you want?"
"Let's find a place to discuss how much you have to give me." The man pushed him away.
Entering the alley, what greeted Lin He was not money, but a big cloth bag.
He was shrouded inside, and he couldn't see who was beating him, anyway, it wasn't alone.After punching and kicking him for a while, those people disappeared in an instant.
He sucked in the pain, opened the cloth bag on top of his head, and cursed loudly.
The group of people who hit people didn't know they hit the wrong person.Lin Shen and Lin He are brothers, and it's not surprising that they look somewhat imaginative.They took the money happily, and Zhou Xiang sat in the carriage, rolling with laughter: "Lin Sanlang, you are worthy of fighting with me? Get the hell out of here, I can't kill you?"
Holding the cloth bag in his hand, Lin He sucked his teeth and said, "There is also a cloth bag left behind, the beating is not in vain."
Without further ado, a few people got into the donkey cart.
Zhang donkey harnessed the donkey cart, did not rush to wave his whip, and glanced at Lin He several times.
Lin He pressed his red eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Luzi stretched out his hand and looked straight at him: "Give me the money."
Lin He's eyes fluttered: "I owe it first, and I will give it to you next time."
"Next time and next time, when will it be big? You have been in my car several times, and you have said you owe it every time, and you will pay it next time. I am afraid that if you owe it again, you will be in the coffin. " Zhang Donkey hummed.
He didn't want to be like this either, because every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there are several people in the family waiting to eat and drink.It's okay to owe it once or twice, and everyone has a time when they can't solve the problem, but Lin He is too thick-skinned, he keeps sitting in his car, and he doesn't want to pay a penny, so he bullies an honest man like him, he doesn't want to I'm used to Lin He, so I have to give the money today.
"I didn't bring any money when I came out this time—" He gave Lin Shen a sideways look as he spoke.
The old carpenter looked at him coldly: "I saw that you took out money to buy something, and you have a lot of money in your pocket. You should have a lot left in your pocket, so you don't even have a copper coin."
Lin Shen's hands were all in his pockets, and he shrank back when he heard this.He can manage Lin He once or twice, but not every time.Lin He obviously has money, but refuses to give it to him. This kind of behavior cannot be supported.
"Get out of the car if you don't pay." Zhang Donkey came over to paw at Linhe.
Lin He was in a hurry, and yelled out what was in his heart: "Third brother, you have money in hand just after finishing the work, so lend some money to brother first. When brother has money, I will return it to you immediately."
Lin Shen looked puzzled: "I bought rice noodles, and the family is almost out of steam. My master gave me the money for the car ride."
"You white-eyed wolf!" Lin He turned into anger when he was extremely annoyed, and opened his mouth to curse.After scolding, the money still has to be given.Zhang Luzi's performance told him that if he didn't give the money, he would have to walk back on his legs today.
"Here you are!" Lin He took out four copper coins and threw them at Zhang Donkey.
The copper plate fell to the ground, Zhang donkey frowned and looked at him, bent down to pick up the copper plates one by one.
"And today's."
Lin He blushed and said thickly, "I'll give it to you next time. I'm not just sitting this time."
Donkey Zhang: "Then next time."
He sat in front of the cart and said without raising his head, "Sit firmly and go home."
Lin Shen felt very uncomfortable, and said to Lin He, "Why are you throwing money on the ground?"
Isn't this insulting?
Lin He was getting angry with him, and shouted: "You don't care, I don't have a brother like you, why don't you die?"
The wind whistled, and a round of setting sun hung on the horizon, painting everyone's face with gold.
Lin Shen didn't speak, just looked at him without blinking.
I don't know if it was caused by the wind, but the goosebumps on Lin He's arms rose up.The original owner is not a thing, if you don't like it, just beat him, he is really afraid of Lin Shen.
"I, I, I..." His mouth was uncontrollable.
Lin Shen glanced at him contemptuously, then turned his head to look at the rapidly retreating scenery.
Lin Shen secretly relaxed his body.
Get out of the donkey cart and go back to each house.
Lin Shen carried a bag in one hand and returned home easily.
As soon as he sat down, the old carpenter taught him: "In the donkey cart, if I hadn't stopped you, would you have paid your brother?"
Lin Shen smiled: "I thought he really had no money."
"You are still too immature, and you almost fell for him. He is an old rascal. Every time he rides in a donkey's car, he always promises to give it to him next time. Every time he rides, he says that every time, he is just a fool." I can't believe him anymore. If he is reluctant to part with this copper coin, he can walk back by himself, but he doesn't want to go, because he wants to take a car and take advantage of a donkey. He is capable, but he is too petty. It's all too calculating..."
The old carpenter told Lin Shen a lot, and Lin Shen listened obediently.
"I talk so much, you don't find me annoying, do you?"
For a long time, the old carpenter said unsatisfactorily.
Lin Shen smiled and said: "No, someone reminded me, I can avoid a lot of detours, I am too happy."
He had already boiled the water and poured boiling hot water into the small teapot.
"You just know how to talk." The old carpenter blew the foam off the tea bowl and drank the tea leisurely.
Lin Shen was thinking about the sweet potatoes in the backyard, and kept looking at them.
The sweet potato grows gratifyingly, it is only as long as a palm when walking, and there are not many green leaves.I haven't been back these days, and a lot of green leaves have grown out, and I still faintly lie on the ground.
Feeling that the soil was a bit dry, Lin Shen went to the front yard to fetch water and watered every sweet potato plant.After absorbing the water, the sweet potatoes looked more energetic, and all of them straightened up.The breeze blows gently, and the shaking of the head looks very gratifying.
