There was something profound in Gong Bin's eyes that made Lin Mengya find it interesting.
The eldest brother of her family seems to be calm, but in fact he is also a person who doesn't like others to be leisurely.
"It's okay, the Gong family is in a state of ruin, and many things have to be started from scratch. But big brother, I don't care what you do to others, but you have to be considerate of my delicate body."
She tilted her head and winked mischievously at Gong Bin.
The latter smiled helplessly, shook his head and said.
"I understand, there are so many men in our Gong family, why do we need you to be a busy girl?"
In fact, she is not afraid of hard work, she will leave the Gong family after all.
Therefore, from now on, she must also prepare for her departure.
Although it was a closed inn, it had everything it needed. When they went out, they also brought a cook and food with them.
There are just some common fresh fruits and vegetables that you need to buy now.
Sitting in the main hall of the inn, someone had already cut up the chilled watermelon and put it in a green jade bowl on the table.
It's hot today, so everyone can't help but eat more.
While chatting in the room, I suddenly heard some noise outside.
"Why don't you let me in? Isn't this an inn? Since it's an inn, there's no reason to chase people out!"
"That's right, we brothers were very supportive of this Taining Inn back then, but now you have opened it silently, obviously you don't take us brothers seriously!"
Two voices, one deep and one domineering.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly, and immediately there was a personal attendant beside her, who rushed out to deal with the situation.
"Bai Su, go and see what's going on."
Bai Su who was standing behind her disappeared, and then the increasingly arrogant words of the two people were heard.
"You haven't reopened the business? Humph, what a joke, are you trying to fool us? Look, do you know this person?"
"You, how can you hit someone for no reason? This place is the private property of our Gong family, and no one has the right to interfere."
The eldest brother's name was Gong Liu, and he always followed his eldest brother. He was uneducated, but he was honest and down-to-earth, and he had a bit of his eldest brother's temperament.
But even such a person still raised his tone, fearing that the other person was really difficult to deal with.
"Hmph, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings. You guys just rest, I'll go take a look."
How could Gong Wu bear this? After saying that, he got up and went to teach those people a lesson.
"sit down!"
Gong Bin shouted lowly. No matter how angry Gong Wu was, he would not dare to disobey his elder brother's order.
There was still some anger in his eyes.
"Okay, big brother, I think it's better to let fifth brother handle it. Fifth Brother Brother is rough and subtle, so he won't mess it up, right?"
No one expected that Lin Mengya would intercede with Gong Wu.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Gong Bin had nothing to say.
He had no choice but to wave his hand at Gong Wu, who immediately jumped out of the main hall like an arrow from a string.
"Thank you big brother."
She smiled and thanked Gong Bin, who sighed, but there was no worry on his face.
Sure enough, the noise outside quickly stopped.
After a short while, Gong Bin returned to them with a few people.
Bai Su immediately stood beside Lin Mengya. She never took the initiative to speak when she shouldn't.
However, now that Gong Wu is here, things must have been settled.
"What happened, and how did you deal with it?"
Gong Bin was still a little uneasy. Although his fifth brother was smart and a prodigy in martial arts, he was different from Gong Er. He was always so irritable.
Gong Wu calmed down his emotions first, and then replied.
"They were just two gangsters who came here to make trouble. They saw the door of our inn reopened, and then met people buying food at the door. I didn't do anything to them. They asked for money, and we gave it to them.
It’s okay, it’s okay, everything has been taken care of.”
Gong Bin frowned slightly and looked at the fifth brother with some confusion.
When did this child change his temper?
"real?"
Gong Wu put his hand on his chest, looking anxious.
"Brother, don't you still believe me? It's absolutely true. I don't dare to deceive eldest brother."
This was true, not to mention other aspects, none of these younger brothers dared to lie to him.
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but look at his younger brother Gong Yu with admiration.
"Well, you did a good job. When you are away from home, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, we have important things to do, so it is right not to fight for this moment."
It's rare to get praise from the eldest brother of the Gong family.
Even an adult like Gong Wu showed a slightly shy smile.
After sending away the two scoundrels and appeasing the servant who had been innocently wronged for buying vegetables, several people had dinner and went back to their rooms to rest.
After taking a shower, I leaned against the bed and asked Bai Su to help dry my long hair.
Although it was quiet everywhere, there were palace family members patrolling around the inn.
"Today's matter, the palace
How did Yu deal with it?"
"Originally, those two men only came to extort money. After Gong Liu arrived, he was not rude to them. But the two men became more and more excessive and even pushed Gong Liu. Later, the fifth young master arrived and did not lose his temper.
, but he took the initiative to talk to those two people. In the end, those two people walked away with five taels of silver each."
The fifth brother is so easy to talk to, but it doesn't look like him.
"Then in your opinion, is there anything wrong with Gong Yu?"
She knew the temperament of her fifth brother. It was a miracle that those two men were not broken off and thrown out. They actually actively cooperated with this kind of blackmail that came to their door, unless the sun came out in the south.
"No, but the Fifth Young Master actually didn't counter-offer. Those two people were a little surprised, as if they didn't expect it."
Lin Mengya pulled her hand down and signaled to Bai Su that there was no need to wipe it anymore.
"My fifth brother, even though he seems to be in a hot mood all the time, what he is thinking in his heart may even surprise us."
The rooms upstairs are very spacious, and you can see the outside scenery from the window.
However, there is not much to see in this small town. Apart from the sparse lights like fireflies, the rest is completely dark, and the general outline can be vaguely discerned.
I heard from my eldest brother that since the fall of the Gong family, everything in the fiefdom has been in a state of decline.
Now it seems that it is indeed true.
"Master, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Nodding, Lin Mengya touched her hair. It was almost dry, then she took off her shoes and socks and went to bed.
She didn't know how long she slept, but she only heard something moving outside.
Bai Su, who was sleeping outside, got up without saying a word, took his sword and went out to check.
The sporadic sleepiness was driven away, and Lin Mengya sat on the bed, waiting for Bai Su's return.
The sounds outside were suppressed again, and soon, someone knocked on her door.
"Little sister, how are you?"
The voice should be that of the fourth brother. Lin Mengya immediately put on her coat and opened the door for him with her hands and feet.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the anxiety on Gong Si's expression.
"I'm fine, what's going on outside?"
There were several people following Gong Si. Seeing her opening the door, Gong Si immediately winked at the people behind her.
Those people immediately followed the order and went upstairs and downstairs not knowing what they were looking for.
"Someone sneaked in and fought with your fifth brother. We don't know what the other party's purpose was, but I'm afraid they came for you."
What, someone sneaked in?
Lin Mengya Her mind was racing, and she knew that the news of her return had spread throughout the family.
Among them, there are countless people who want their own lives.
However, they cannot act rashly, otherwise, it will bring disaster to their family.
Could it be said that there are really people who are not afraid of trouble?
"Have you found out who did it?"
Gong Si shook his head, he just didn't know, that's why they were worried.
"I will be careful myself, fourth brother, just don't worry."
In the blink of an eye, Bai Su returned to her side. With the protection of this girl, Gong Si felt at ease.
The men continued to search the inn with the doors and windows closed. After Lin Mengya and Bai Su looked at each other, they no longer wanted to sleep.
Once the commotion started, it lasted until dawn.
When the candles were burned out, Lin Mengya and Bai Su sat on the couch and didn't close their eyes for half the night.
Until Gong Bin came over and saw his little sister's haggard face, he couldn't help but feel very distressed.
After having breakfast brought to her room, Lin Mengya immediately grabbed her elder brother and asked about what happened last night.
"Are you asking about the infiltrator? Your fifth brother said that that person is not very good at martial arts, but he is extremely cunning. We searched with so many people, but he still escaped. However, this person does not look like
He's here to seek revenge. When he fought with your fifth brother last night, he was cautious in everything and didn't mean to hurt anyone. I think he won't be disadvantageous to us."
Having said that, such a hidden behavior is not fair and honest, and I don't think he is a good person.
After breakfast, she felt somewhat recovered.
Her brothers sympathized with her and decided to rest here for another day.
After Lin Mengya and Bai Su got some sleep, what happened that night had an unsatisfactory ending.
They were all guessing who the mysterious man was, but there was no evidence.
The fifth brother is even more miserable. From last night to now, the process of his fight with the mysterious man has been repeated over and over again.
Later, whenever anyone looked at him, he was like a cat whose tail had been guessed, and his hair immediately began to explode.
Lin Mengya really couldn't bear it, so she had to let him explain everything in detail and then remember it for him.
"Little sister, can you really write everything down word for word?"
At first, Gong Wu was very surprised. He had heard that some people could never forget anything.
But the knowledge in books still has rules to follow.
But what he said was in bits and pieces. Even he couldn't repeat the exact same thing a second time, but his little sister could actually do it!
