Before dawn, it is the darkest hour. It is also the time when people are most tired and most likely to fall asleep. Many accidents and surprise attacks often occur at this moment.
Regardless of his advanced age, Mrs. Lin led people to carry cold water and walked around loudly, shouting loudly. Whenever he saw someone was not energetic, he handed them a handkerchief soaked in cold water and asked them to wipe their faces, reminding them that the traitors would probably attack them.
At this time, start the second wave of attacks, and ask them to look at every hidden corner and watch out for someone climbing over the wall.
It is true that some people want to climb over the wall to get in, but the courtyard wall of the Lu family's old house is too high, and the edge of the wall slopes outward as it goes up. They can't find such a long ladder, and it is difficult to climb such a weird-shaped wall. But they always keep one side.
They are the most common people who kill chickens during festivals. On one side are bandits licking blood from the knife edge. Their psychological feelings are different. Besides, every time the thick wooden pillar hits the door, the people inside can't bear it.
I was so frightened that I couldn't help but worry that the door would not be able to withstand it and collapse.
Lin Jinrong knew that this would not be a short-term job and could not rely solely on men. Men, even if they were made of steel, needed to rest. Instead of letting women idle and worry, it was better to let them participate. If they could not do anything else, take
It would also be a good idea to patrol the interior walls in shifts with a few kitchen knives and the like.
She did as she was told, and she dutifully became the leader of the first round of inspections. When she led the women, holding torches high, and walking along the inner wall in a serious manner, Shuangquan reminded her carefully: "Old Master
At the front."
Lin Jinrong raised his eyes and saw Mr. Lin standing in the middle of the yard, looking at him with a serious expression. He had no choice but to go up to him: "Grandpa." He thought that at least he would be spoken to in a nonchalant manner, but Lin Jinrong didn't know that
The old man just said softly: "Very good, be careful Pepsi."
It was so difficult to get Mrs. Lin to say a good word. Lin Jinrong stood there with his eyes lowered for a moment, then turned around and continued moving forward with everyone.
There is a small courtyard in the back garden of the old house that is particularly dark and rarely visited on weekdays. It is said that several unfaithful and unjust slaves were imprisoned in it, and various strange sounds can be heard from it late at night.
, even the most courageous slaves would not dare to pass by easily, let alone wander in. But as it happens, the courtyard is built against the courtyard wall. If you want to patrol along the inner wall, you have to go in and inspect it.
One pass.
Fortunately, the clan members outside who didn't know the reason could say that the servants who knew the inside story were unwilling to go forward. The Lu You family called Lin Jinrong aside and said mysteriously: "Second Grandma, don't go into the courtyard ahead.
.”
Lin Jinrong has certainly heard of this legend. It is said that she does not respect ghosts and gods, and that she is not afraid, but that is all false. She is a person who has experienced life and death and has come back to life, and she has a firm belief in some unknown things.
A kind of fearful piety. But she is no longer a woman who can lean on someone to lean on the incense burner, mixing incense and making tea. She is a mother, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a mistress, and even more so when her husband is not around.
A woman whose return date is far away, she can only rely on herself.
Lin Jinrong straightened his face and said calmly: "Shut up! Men are not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of this?" He snatched the torch from Lu Youjia's hand, straightened his shoulders and walked forward firmly.
, the words were resounding: "If you are willing, come with me, all ghosts and gods will come to me! If you are unwilling, don't force me!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and Shuangquan was the first to follow, saying crisply: "Grandma, what ghost is scarier than the bandits outside? Up the mountain of knives and down into the sea of fire, your slaves will always follow you."
Lu Youjia stood there for a moment, gritted his teeth, strode after her and shouted loudly: "Second Grandma, you are not afraid. Are we less courageous than you? My son and I are still standing on the wall!"
Lin Jinrong looked back at her and smiled: "Each of us must try our best to survive and live better." There were many people who were brave. They searched carefully and made sure there were no mistakes. They just breathed a sigh of relief and exited the courtyard to leave.
, I heard a strange noise coming from somewhere in the yard.
"Uh..." Lu Youjia was so frightened that he shuddered, his eyes rolled white, and he looked at Lin Jinrong in horror.
Lin Jinrong raised a wooden stick high, fighting with his two sticks. He suppressed fear and signaled for everyone to surround the courtyard door, and shouted sternly: "Who is inside?"
The voice paused, and there was silence. Everyone clenched the weapons and torches in their hands, and listened quietly with their ears raised. After a while, the "rustling" sound came again, and everyone heard it.
.
Lin Jinrong took a step forward and said deceitfully: "I saw you, come out quickly or you will die!" As he said this, he motioned to others to report the news.
Lu Yan struggled to crawl out from among a pile of debris. As soon as he climbed out, he heard his wife's bluffing and fierce threatening voice. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, shouting: "It's me!" There was silence outside.
After a moment, Lin Jinrong said uncertainly: "Send your name quickly!" His voice no longer had the same momentum as before.
"Lu Mian, named Minxing, is the second son of the family. He has a son named Yilang." Although Lu Mian guessed that there must be more than just Lin Jinrong outside, the joy of being reunited and knowing that they were safe made him couldn't help but want to tease her.
A funny Lin Jinrong.
There was silence outside.
Lu Yan undressed and went out in the dark. He saw Lin Jinrong holding a torch at the entrance of the courtyard, standing there looking at him in an airy manner, followed by a group of women carrying kitchen knives, hatchets, and door bolts. He couldn't help but be surprised: "You guys are running around in the middle of the night.
What are you doing here?" Then he quickly understood, looked at Lin Jinrong with admiration, and said seriously to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, don't worry, the matter will be solved soon, we will definitely be able to repel the bandits.
!”
By the light of the torch, everyone could see clearly that the person who came was indeed Lu Yan. While they were overjoyed, they all had countless questions, how did he get in?! Lu Yan didn't wait for them to ask.
Asked Lin Jinrong: "Who is in charge now? Is it my grandfather? Take me to his old man immediately. There is something urgent."
Lin Jinrong signaled to Lu Youjia and others to continue patrolling, and asked both of them to rush to report to Lin Yuzhen, while she led Lu Mian forward alone. The couple walked one after another to a deserted place, and Lu Mian fiercely hugged Lin Jinrong.
He walked into his arms, kissed her twice randomly on the face, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I'm so happy."
Lin Jinrong was choked by him so hard that he couldn't breathe, and the stubble on his face hurt her cheeks, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She just hugged him back hard, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him tremblingly on the lips,
He said softly: "I'm very happy too. I miss you very much."
Lu Yan wanted to rub her into his arms, but the time and place were not right at the moment, and he could not tolerate the affection between his children, so he hugged her hard again before letting go and softly said: "I know you miss me even if you don't tell me.
, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought someone to pick me up. This is called understanding.”
Lin Jinrong was originally quite sad after being overjoyed, but before she could feel sad, he made him laugh. She couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh around his waist, and whispered: "Are you really Lu Erlang?"
But when I think about it, I feel that it is a coincidence. Could it be that, as Lu Mian said, she and he have a spiritual connection?
"It's true." Lu Yan quickly took his wife's hand, kissed her lips, let go, and walked forward quickly: "I have a few important things to tell you first."
Lin Jinrong calmed down her other thoughts and listened to his details. When she heard that Lu Lun was still alive and had brought people back to help them, the surprise and joy in her heart were simply beyond words. For Lu Lun's sake,
For her sake, she could only cry with tears, clasped her hands together, and said to the gods in the void with great piety: "Thank God."
Seeing that she was so happy, Lu Yan couldn't bear to tell her about Lu Lun's disfigured appearance, but he also felt that if he didn't tell her, wouldn't it make Lu Lun sad when she saw Lu Lun making a fuss later? He poured the wine again.
The words are precise: "Fifth brother, he is a little different from before. Don't be too surprised when you see him later."
Lin Jinrong asked anxiously: "What's the difference?" Could it be that he is disabled?
Lu Yan pointed to his cheek: "It's ruined, it's full of pockmarks." Although Lu Lun himself didn't show any concern, he thought that Lu Lun had almost lost everything. In the future, he might not only be rejected by women, but also live a life with
My life was completely different before, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and said softly: "It's nothing. Living well is more important than having nothing. Compared with face, good hands and feet are more important."
Lu Yan thought about it and whispered: "That's right, nothing is more important than living well."
Everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of Lu Yan and Lu Lun, but Mr. Lin was very shrewd and knew that this was probably related to family secrets. He didn't ask for more than a few words, let alone how Lu Lun came back from the dead.
After carefully discussing the official matters with Lu Mian, we made arrangements one by one.
Facts have proved that when you encounter a fierce and unreasonable person, you can only defeat him by being more fierce and unreasonable than him. The group of bandits outside the wall are indeed bandits, but they are far from being unable to survive.
They were desperate, so after their leader was decapitated by a pockmarked man with a big knife, and the people inside and outside the wall were hacked away desperately, they retreated.
Lin Jinrong held Yilang in her arms, and together with Lin Yuzhen, stood in front of the main hall with the women of the Lin family. Looking at the white sky and listening to the shouts of death outside the wall, she knew in her heart that a new day had arrived! In the untouchable,
Faced with an uncertain fate, she finally took a step forward.
In the early morning, a red sun burst out, and the sunlight lazily coated the towering walls of the Lu family's old house with a layer of pale gold. Lin Jinrong stood in front of the carriage that was about to leave, looking back at the Lu family's old house, and said goodbye in a low voice.
It's just goodbye, not farewell. Looking back, she looked at the brothers Lu Yan, Lu Lun, and Lu Gen who were talking together not far away, smiled slightly, took Yi Lang's hand and waved to them.
Lu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, then gently knocked the horse's belly: "Let's go."
A group of people headed towards Wuyi Pier in a mighty manner.
