Lin Ji's struggling life

After Lin Ji came back from the palace, he rested for a day and began to pack his things. He planned to take Lin Daiyu to live in Tantuo Temple for two days, and he also brought a group of little bean dings, so he had to be fully equipped.Many of the things he and Daiyu used when they went to Beijing can be reused, so after tidying up like this, it is not fussy.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the sky was bright and there were people passing by in twos and threes, so Lin Ji rode to Jia's mansion to pick up two little girls.Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, who woke up early, got ready and got into the carriage with their servants and belongings. Shi Xiangyun immediately took off his cap, looked left and right, and was very curious about this special carriage.

"Miss Xiangyun, this is very dangerous. You should sit still and let me come." Banqian grabbed Xiangyun who was fiddling with the small stove, poured water into it, put some lotus seeds, lilies and white fungus, and prepared to boil sugar water. "Miss, do you want to rest for a while?" There is still more than an hour's journey from here to Tantuo Temple. Daiyu woke up a little early in the morning, and now her eyes are half-closed, and she seems a little tired.

"Well, I'll wait a while." Lin Daiyu tucked herself into Banqian's arms and yawned, while Bai Rong took over the work in Banqian's hands.Seeing Lin Daiyu like this, Xiangyun didn't make a sound. She leaned on Cuilu, holding back the joy in her heart, and started to read the travel notes on the shelf.

For a moment, there was silence in the carriage.

The two of them were very excited these two days. Shi Xiangyun deliberately picked out his best clothes, put on eye-catching jewelry, and even endured Mammy Xiong's black face to ask her for advice, and finally gained a little bit of confidence .This morning, she got up early to get ready, and woke up Lin Daiyu.

This time when he went to Tantuo Temple, Shi Xiangyun only brought a green thread with him, while Lin Daiyu brought Bai Rong and half money, and Xu's mother followed.Of course, Mother Xu was in another car, and she also brought a car full of ingredients and tools, ready to show off her skills.

The carriage rumbled forward, Lin Ji rode the horse in front, his eyes were indeed squinted.Recently, he has always been a little sleepy, and now even when he is riding a horse, his head is still groggy, and the drowsiness bug has been eroding him.Watching the changing scenery, he shook off the drowsy bug in his head vigorously, clamped the horse's body with his legs, leaned forward, and stepped on the horse to lead the way.

Soon came to the corner of Baofeng Mountain. Looking up, you can see the red tiled roof exposed among the layers of green trees.Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun sat on the sliding pole, and the group walked to Tantuo Temple on the mountain.

The summer heat has not faded away, and today the heat is approaching.The group soon saw Gao Qiao parked halfway up the mountain. She was panting in the pavilion with her cousins, and the consequence of not riding the pole was that she stopped halfway and couldn't get off.

"I said, what are you doing?" Lin Ji looked at Gao Qiao in a funny way. Every time he was with Gao Qiao, he could always find the feeling of getting along with his girlfriends in his previous life. You?" There was a slippery pole at the back.

Gao Qiao naturally saw it, thought about it, and relied on his light weight to squeeze onto Lin Daiyu's sliding pole.Then he placed his cousins ​​on the extra sliding pole, and just swaggered to lean on them.Lin Ji didn't care too much, watching the sun rise high, and ordered everyone to hurry up the mountain.

Before arriving at the Shanmen Temple, there was a young monk waiting to lead the way, and the group settled down in the guest room, where men and women were separated.Lin Ji prepared Lin Daiyu with two maids capable of martial arts, so she was relieved a lot.

After a brief wash and wash, Lin Ji asked someone to serve breakfast.I rushed here early in the morning, and I was all hungry. The few people didn't pay much attention, and they all sat together to eat.The breeze in the mountains blew by, bringing bursts of bamboo fragrance, lingering in the unique incense of the temple, feeling extraordinarily comfortable.

An open space was cleared out under the banyan tree outside the yard, tables and chairs were set up, tea and cakes were served, and a group of people waited here.Gao Qiao and Lin Daiyu had a lot of topics to talk about, they chatted nonstop with their heads together.Zhang Ting, the cousin of Gao's family next to her, also interjected a few words from time to time, chattering, making Lin Ji's head hurt from the noise.

Everyone arrived one after another, Zarafon'a was the oldest among the people who came, and her status was considered honorable. She took the girls and set up a venue in the open space at the back of the mountain. All kinds of flowers, a simple small banquet.Lin Ji took the boys to hunt in the mountains. People in the Qing Dynasty were good at riding and shooting. Even though they were all the children of the Han family, they were all strong and healthy, good at riding and shooting.

Young people hunted on horseback, and wherever they went, birds and beasts fled.Finally caught a sika deer and a few little rabbits.Lin Ji didn't choose either, these were all wild things, and the accompanying boys also found a lot of edible mushrooms, Lin Dong also dug up two bamboo shoots and prepared to go back to make soup.

The lunch was set by the stream far away from Tantuo Temple. After all, it was not easy to kill animals quietly in Buddhism, so they chose a place farther away.The maids sliced ​​the processed meat into slices, marinated them and handed them over to the maids.The boys built the table by hand, put in the red-hot charcoal fire, put on the iron net, and then they can barbecue.Meat fungus, as well as self-provided vegetable and vegetable juices, do it yourself, and enjoy the fun of having enough food and clothing.

Mother Xu boiled a big pot of chicken porridge and a pot of old duck bamboo shoot soup on the stove. This is for the big guys to fill their stomachs. After all, barbecue is fun, but you can't fill your stomach with barbecue.

They also cooked white porridge for Lin Daiyu and Lin Ji in a small pot.

Men and women sit at separate tables, after all, they are family friends, but they don't care so much.Most of them almost grew up together since they were young, but now that they are getting older, it doesn't seem like they played together when they were young.So, there are a bunch of boys and a bunch of girls, each with its own fun.

Shi Xiangyun and Chen Shi Chunxue share similar interests, and they are much better at roasting meat than others.The two have better spleen and stomach, and they dared to eat more, having a great time.Under Xu's mother's teaching, most people can also make decent skewers, and several people who have never cooked can also make decent skewers.Lin Daiyu didn't like to do anything, and she disliked the heavy and hot oily smoke, so she and Zarafon'a sat in the back and waited to eat.

After this period of emergency training, Zarafon'a can barely handle himself, at least not as ignorant as before.And she and Daiyu often exchanged letters, and occasionally sent something on weekdays, so they got to know each other a lot.

She took Daiyu and sat down around the table, and handed her the delicious vegetarian skewers specially made by Xu's mother, "Daiyu, you have a weak spleen and stomach, just try it." Dare to be careless, handed Lin Daiyu a glass of juice, and asked someone to bring her a bowl of porridge.During this period of time, she got along with Zhang's younger sisters, and she found the feeling of taking care of others. Now she can take care of Lin Daiyu very smoothly.

This kind of small banquet was really unique, and the children had a great time playing. Finally, under the strong request of Xu's mother, they poured a cup of herbal tea for everyone to cool off the heat and nourish the spleen and stomach.

In the afternoon, Lin Daiyu was lying on the deck chair under the tree, drowsy, the rustling sound accompanied by the aroma of grass and trees, which made people sleepy.Except for a few energetic ones who are exploring, the bamboo forest is dense and occasionally small animals come and go, and they also have fun.

Chen Xu, the fourth son of the Chen family, left his fishing brothers and came over. Seeing that his third sister and Xiangyun were being caught, he also wanted to help. "Third sister, I'll come too, okay, take me, take me."

"Aren't you afraid of this ugly bug?!" Chen Chunxue looked at Chen Xu's excited look, and couldn't help hitting him: "When my second brother and I were catching bugs that day, didn't you still say I was here, and then I sent a Just with you, but you said you don't like this ugly bug, and now you want to play with me?" She is not the eldest sister and the second sister, so she will not be used to his bad temper.

Chen Xu pouted and went to find his second brother Chen Yan. He wanted to sue them, but the third sister bullied him again.Seeing Chen Xu walking away, Chen Chunxue curled her lips, "Xiangyun, don't worry about that accuser, he must have gone to someone to sue. Let's play by ourselves, I see more here, come quickly."

Shi Xiangyun was also foolish and bold, following Chen Chunxue to catch bugs for a while.Chen Chunxue was as naughty as a boy since she was a child. Although her family has many sisters, no one has ever dared to play with her. Occasionally, her brother would see her pitifully and accompany her to catch bugs a few times.She really likes Xiangyun's temperament, and the two of them got together and chatted non-stop.

The two teased Cicada, but soon they got tired of it, and went to look for crickets in the grass.Along with Zhang Ruomu, she didn't dare to touch those bugs, but she watched them with great interest and her eyes sparkled.

The two sons of the Chen family and the two sons of the Zhang family took Gao Qiao's cousin to the river to fish together. It is said that all the fish in this stream come from the Linghu Lake on the mountain, and all the fish caught are destined people. .Several people went there enthusiastically, Lin Ji saw that there was no danger, and told Wu Wen Nongmo to watch, then left Lin Dong behind, and went back to Tan Tuo Temple to find the host, he needed to ask him about some things.

Wu'an left without saying goodbye this time, and no one came to the mess left behind, and what's even more strange is that there was no news from outside.This made Lin Ji suspicious, but he didn't know who to ask, and he didn't know who to discuss with.Wu'an had mentioned before that he had a good friend in Tantuo Temple, and Lin Ji came here this time to look for him.

When he came to the eminent monk's courtyard, he was told that the eminent monk had gone out for a wandering, and the return date was uncertain, Lin Ji was also embarrassed.Obviously, when he came to inquire a few days ago, he said that the old man was there, but now he managed to sneak in, but he is no longer there.These masters are really elusive, no wonder the emperor is wary of them.

Lin Ji ignored the bustling little guys outside, and went back to the house to sleep.Recently, he was very sleepy and fell asleep not long after he lay down. In his sleep, he vaguely felt something moving on his face, and couldn't help but pat it off, but felt that the touch was wrong.

Waking up suddenly, he opened his eyes and found that something was wrong. He raised his sword and rushed out to chase after him. After a few rounds, he caught the man in blue.He turned over abruptly, but saw a face full of astonishment, this was clearly Wuan!The man in blue turned around and charged straight at Lin Ji's front with a sword, and Lin Ji blocked it with his sword.

The two quickly fought together, and after going back and forth a few times, Lin Ji realized that this was the man he caught last time, but for some reason, he now had a face of anger.Facing this face, he really couldn't do anything, and the man in blue soon found his weakness.With a thrust, Lin Ji's arm was cut.

Blood was flowing, and Lin Ji didn't care about the pain, just wanted to catch him as soon as possible, but the man in blue tricked him and threw some medicine on Lin Ji.Just as Lin Ji dodged, the man in blue broke free from his shackles and was about to abscond.

A huge net fell from the sky and caught the two of them.

Cheng Lingsu and He Hongyao teamed up to tie Lin Ji and the man in blue and hang them on the tree.

"Master Lin, I didn't expect you to have this day. It's really rare to see you!" Standing under the tree, He Hongyao looked at Lin Ji, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and smiled innocently.But she didn't wait for Lin Ji's response, something dripped down her face suddenly, she touched it, it turned out to be blood...
