"Wuba, be good, tell me brother, who bullied you? Brother, help you bully him back." Ling Yun gently touched Wu Wa's head, feeling distressed.
However, Ling Yun's comfort had no effect. Wu Wa clung to his arms and buried her head in tears.
At this time, Sanwa also walked out of the house.
When he saw it was Ling Yun, he stood at the door and looked at him quietly, tears welling up in his eyes.
Looking at the two of them, both looking like this, Ling Yun felt a little worried, wondering if something really happened at home?
But didn’t you write back before saying that everything was fine at home?
Isn't it possible to trick him in order not to distract him?
The more Ling Yun thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He hoped that everything he thought would be the opposite.
"Third sister, I'm back." Ling Yun said with a smile as he looked at Wu Wa who looked slightly tired.
Sanwa smiled happily and nodded vigorously, but the tears in her eyes suddenly slipped from her cheeks.
"Wuba, be good. Get up first. If you have anything to say, you can tell your brother. Don't be afraid if he is here." Ling Yun squatted half-crouched, holding Wuwa's shoulders with both hands, staring at her with tears on her face.
Looking at the fifth baby who was still crying, Ling Yun wiped it with his hand. After wiping it, he didn't forget to scratch her nose with his hand and joked, "Don't cry. If you cry, you will turn into a cat."
Then my brother won’t want you anymore.”
Who would have thought that when Ling Yun said he didn't want her, Wu Wa, who was sobbing quietly, immediately burst into tears, crying so heartbreakingly that Ling Yun was blinded by tears.
In the past, when he scared the fifth baby like this, she would immediately stop crying and think to herself, what is going on today?
One or two, acting so weird?
"Third sister, what happened?"
Ling Yun suddenly looked at Sanwa, hoping she could tell him.
But the latter gritted his teeth and refused to speak.
Ling Yun was so confused that he patiently continued to ask, "Where is eldest sister? Is she at home?"
Sanwa was about to speak but stopped...
Seeing this, Ling Yun was so anxious that he could only shout while walking, "Sister, I'm back..."
I called for a long time, but still no one responded.
Did he go to the fields?
It's the end of June now, thinking about it.
It's still half an hour before Youshi, and it's summer, so it might be later than usual.
So Ling Yun took care of himself, put the things in the yard, and said to the two little girls who were crying, "I'm going to the fields, do you want to go?"
"Brother, don't go." Sanwa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped him when he heard that Ling Yun was going to the fields.
"What's wrong?" Ling Yun felt really strange. The fifth baby threw herself on him and cried when she saw him. The third baby didn't say a word when she saw him.
Could it be true, as I thought, that something unexpected happened to the Ling family?
Immediately I thought, how is it possible? Their family has become like this, what else could happen?
"Third sister, did something happen at home? If something happens, tell your brother. Don't worry, I'm here."
"Brother," Sanwa stopped what Ling Yun was saying. Her heart was about to move. She was about to tell him the story of the future, but unexpectedly, someone came to the door.
"Young man Ling is back?" Suddenly a voice came from outside the door. Ling Yun took a closer look and saw that it was Li Chuan.
"Grandpa Li, why are you here? I still want to visit you tomorrow? I never thought that you would come over as soon as I got home." Ling Yun smiled and walked quickly to the door.
"You kid, you are so awesome now. I don't dare to let a scholar like you come to my humble home!" Li Chuan joked with a smile.
Ling Yun walked in and saw a group of people following Li Chuan, all from the village.
Seeing Ling Yun come out, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
It seems that someone came to report his success as a scholar.
I thought so, almost ten days have passed since the results were published.
The county magistrate of this county has already received the news and will naturally pass the good news back.
When the government officials came to announce the good news, they would definitely beat gongs and drums. They knew this and it was normal, but they still didn't quite understand why they were here.
When everyone saw Ling Yun, they stepped forward to say hello to him, and Ling Yun responded one by one.
There are also some people who want to shake hands with Ling Yun while holding their children, in the name of enjoying his happiness, so that their children can succeed in the scientific examination in the future and become a scholar like Ling Yun.
Although Ling Yun was unwilling in his heart, he still did not reject anyone who came and shook hands with them one by one.
Some children are afraid of life or something, and they cry all the time when they are near Ling Yun. No matter how much they are coaxed, they cannot be coaxed.
But as soon as he was far away from Ling Yun, the child stopped crying. This phenomenon not only happened to the same child, but also to several children in a row.
People in the village said that Ling Yun was Wenqu Xingjun, his whole body exuded divine light, and ordinary children could not get close to him.
Ling Yun smiled, I really don't know how they imagined it.
"Grandpa Li, all uncles and aunts, please come in and sit for a while." After greeting them one by one, Ling Yun wanted them to go in and sit for a while. Although the Ling family's house is small, you can't always have people standing at the door, right?
"No, no, no, everyone came here today just to see the scholar in our village. Also, the village heard that your boy has been admitted as a scholar, and they plan to have a day and night banquet in the ancestral hall to celebrate. The time is
It is set to be three days later, and we will prepare everything, what do you think?" Li Chuan first refused Ling Yun's invitation, and then asked cautiously.
"Okay, please, uncles and aunts." The words have reached this point. No matter how unwilling Ling Yun is, there is no way he can refuse in front of so many people.
"Okay, we won't disturb you anymore and we'll meet again in three days."
"Grandpa Li, goodbye uncles."
People in the village come and go quickly.
Ling Yun turned around again, looked at Sanwa and said, "Third sister, what did you just want to say to me?"
"Brother, I told you, don't be angry." Sanwa whispered softly, her voice a little choker.
Ling Yun said what he wanted to say, if the sky could collapse, why would he be so sensational?
"Okay!" Ling Yun nodded in understanding.
"Eldest sister and second sister, she...they are no longer here."
"What? The eldest sister and the second sister are gone? Where have they gone?" Ling Yun was startled, holding Sanwa's hand tightly and asked.
"Sister, she...she went to work as a maid for a wealthy family. I heard...I heard she can't come back." After the third baby finished speaking, she started crying loudly, and the fifth baby beside her also started crying.
"Second sister...Second sister was sold to the next village as a child bride...ahhh..." Sanwa cried loudly and said aggrievedly.
Ling Yun's legs and feet became weak and he staggered back two or three steps. This news was like a bolt from the blue.
In disbelief, he collapsed on the ground. He was stunned for half a cup of tea, and kept saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this happen..."
"No...it must be a lie, right?" Ling Yun knelt and crawled in front of Sanwa, looking at her expectantly, hoping that she would tell him that this was a joke.
Yes, Sanwa was joking with him when he saw him not coming home for so long. This must be the case.
