When he woke up in the morning, Lin Ye felt something strange. He got up and found that at the door of the house, Xiao Zinai was curled up with the dog in his arms. He was still asleep, but there were still tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
Lin Ye hurriedly came down, feeling guilty for a while.
After he came back from the hospital last night, he read the book given to him by Mr. Xin for a while, but in fact he only slept for less than two hours in total.
Perhaps because he was sleeping so deeply, he didn't realize when Xiao Zinai curled up at the door and fell asleep.
Lin Ye bent down and picked her up, put her on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered her.
Xiao Zina woke up, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Ye. His eyes were still slightly red from crying just now.
"Having a nightmare?"
Lin Ye asked softly.
Xiao Zinai nodded, as if he was still a little cold, and hid half of his face under the quilt.
"Vicious dog."
These two words came out from under the quilt, a bit muffled. Although the voice sounded relatively calm, Lin Ye noticed that there was boundless fear hidden under this forced calm.
His mind immediately thought of the scene of this lonely little girl, being cornered by wild dogs on the street, huddled there, pitiful and pitiful, with no one to help her.
She had said the word vicious dog several times, and she had woken up from her sleep two or three times before. Lin Ye asked her what she was dreaming about, and without exception, it was still a vicious dog.
Lin Ye didn't know how long this little girl had been wandering on the street, but he could feel that every night was torture for this girl.
Because every night, there may be those vicious dog eyes slowly appearing from the darkness.
Perhaps only when she was curled up in the firewood pile with the dog in her arms did she feel a sense of security.
"There are no vicious dogs here, and my brother will not let you go back to the streets in the future."
Lin Ye patted Xiao Zinai's head gently: "Brother will protect you, and Xiaohan will also protect you when he grows up."
Xiao Zinai nodded and said in a very soft voice: "But... those vicious dogs bite people, they are terrible, they are so vicious and vicious."
Lin Ye asked subconsciously: "Have you been bitten anywhere before?"
Xiao Zinai shook his head: "You didn't bite me."
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that the little girl must have seen others being bitten by vicious dogs, and the shadow in his heart could not be removed for a while.
"Just lie down and I'll cook for you."
Lin Ye patted Xiao Zinai's head again: "But you can let go of Xiaohan's tail. It's almost digging a hole in the bed."
Xiao Zinai laughed heartlessly because of these words.
The dog was being held by the boy's tail, but it wanted to get out of bed again, scratching its front paws on the bed.
After the boy let go, the dog jumped into the yard. When he was squatting outside for convenience, Lin Ye even let out a sigh of relief when he saw it.
Lin Ye got up early, prepared meals, tidied up the house, took a shower and put on clean and fresh clothes before getting ready to go out.
It was already dawning early in the summer, and he had been busy for so long, but in fact, Mao hour had not even passed yet.
When I opened the courtyard door and was about to leave, I saw a few people outside. When those few guys saw Lin Ye, they burst into tears.
"Master."
Zhao Cai took the lead and knelt down with a plop: "Thank you for saving my life."
Gao Gong and the others didn't kneel down because they really couldn't, and their injuries were really serious. The three of them were lying on the cart, which was pushed over by their men.
"Master..."
Gao Gong lay on the cart and cried loudly: "From now on, Gao Gong will be yours, and he will go through fire and water without hesitation. Young master, if you ask me to go east, I will never go west."
Lin Ye looked at them like this and nodded: "I understand, go back."
After speaking, he stepped forward.
"Master, you will be our reborn parents from now on. As long as I say a word, we will fight for him even if we die."
"Master, where are you going? Take us with you. We will follow you all the time from now on."
"By the way, Master, let us move in with you and we will take care of you."
Lin Ye frowned: "If you don't go back, I'll give you a pedicure."
When he said this, there was no hint of joking in his tone.
When Gao Gong saw Lin Ye's face, he was lying on the wooden cart. He stretched out his hand to turn the wheels of the wooden cart: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Song Fuxi jumped off the car, turned the car in another direction, and climbed back on the car: "Quick, quick, quick, the master said to let us get out, let's get out quickly."
They guys turned around and ran away. The only one who was not injured, Zhao Cai, suddenly remembered something and turned around and said to Lin Ye: "Master, before you asked us to keep an eye on the blind man and the lame man in secret. I accidentally saw that yesterday.
The cripple went to old man Qian's house."
Lin Ye stopped and asked, "Who is Old Man Qian?"
Zhao Caidao: "On the streets near us, there is only one serious medical clinic called Mr. Xin's. Old Qian is also a doctor, but unlike Mr. Xin, he is a seller of wild medicine. As long as you give him money, what will he do?"
All medicines are sold.”
Lin Ye nodded: "I know, you guys go back and clean up your yard. If it's still as messy next time I go, I'll dump you upside down into a manure pit."
Zhao Cai didn't dare to say any more, turned around and ran away.
As Lin Ye walked, he thought about what Zhao Cai told him and felt it was a bit unreasonable.
Mr. Xin is very prestigious in the nearby streets, which can be seen from Yan Xiniu's attitude towards Mr. Xin.
Moreover, Mr. Xin has always taken care of the poor and those whose family conditions are not good. He can give credit to those who come to his hospital for treatment and medicine. He said that the credit must be repaid, but he has never asked for it.
There was a chronically ill person, and there was no money left at home. He gave credit every time.
So if a cripple wants to buy some medicine, there is no need to see that rich old man.
People who sell wild medicines in the world of rivers and lakes, what good can they do with the things they sell? However, there is still a place for such people in the underworld.
My mother-in-law's eldest son is the general of the Wuwei Camp, the second son is the school captain of the Wuwei Camp, the third son is the medical officer of the Wuwei Camp, and the fourth son is the chief of the Wuwei Camp.
My mother-in-law said that there were no cowards in the Wufear Camp at that time, more than a thousand people were killed in the battle, no one surrendered, and no one retreated.
But my mother-in-law also said that if they hadn't been betrayed and deliberately led the wrong way, the twelve hundred warriors of the Fearless Battalion were all the best among the best, so how could they easily enter dangerous places.
They were able to enter the encirclement only because of trust, trust in the person who deliberately led them astray.
Lin Ye analyzed it carefully later and found that in the Wufear Camp, fellow soldiers were like brothers, and they had always believed in their own people.
Therefore, there is a 80% chance that the person who harmed the Wuwei Camp in the first place was someone from the Wuwei Camp.
Whoever is not dead is the biggest suspect.
Thinking back to what Yan Xiniu said before when he was drunk, he was the one who picked up the lame and the blind man...
Since the lame man and the blind man were from the Fearless Battalion, they were not on the same battlefield as the Beiye Army where Yan Xiniu was.
To be picked up by Yan Xiniu on another battlefield, and these two people were already seriously injured at that time, there must be something hidden.
My mother-in-law's four sons were all in the Fearless Camp and died in the same tragic battle. My mother-in-law's ten years of suffering also began on that day.
Lin Ye took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"I am Yao'er."
Thinking of Mr. Xin telling Lin Ye to take two days off from the martial arts gym, Lin Ye thought that he could take advantage of the two days of leave to carefully check those two guys.
Although those two people did not look like treacherous criminals, they were Lin Ye's only way to pursue the truth at this time.
Of course, when asking for leave, there must be a reasonable excuse.
So what Lin Ye said to Lei Hongliu was that this was what Mr. Xin meant. He went to the medical clinic to get medicine. Mr. Xin said that he had to rest for two days and go to the medical clinic for treatment every day, otherwise there might be hidden dangers.
After Lei Hongliu heard the reason for asking for leave, he turned around and gave Yan Xi Niu a kick in the butt.
"If you hadn't hit him so hard, would he be like this?"
Yan Xiniu nodded and bowed: "What Madam taught me is that after studying for so many years, Madam and I still make mistakes, and we are unworthy of Madam's teachings."
When Lin Ye looked at Yan Xiniu, he always felt that there was something fleeting in Yan Xiniu's eyes.
This seemingly rude and heartless man is anything but simple.
Sometimes Lin Ye couldn't help but wonder whether Yan Xiniu was really drunk or pretending to be drunk when he pinched his neck after coming out of the wine shop.
He said, "Aren't you looking for a veteran?" Then you are looking for the right one. When I said this, it didn't sound like a drunken remark.
What's that, a warning?
Lei Hongliu glared at Yan Xiniu and said, "Go and get some money. Little Yezi will go to the medical center to treat his injuries. You take the money."
Yan Xiniu: "I take it, I take it, but I don't have it. My wife is in charge of all the money. I really..."
Lei Hongliu: "There is a hole in the leg of the bed. Do you think I can't see the bit of silver stuffed in the hole? If I don't point it out, you still think I'm stupid."
Yan Xiniu: "This..."
That was private money that he had secretly saved for several months.
He didn't dare to offend Lei Hongliu, so he had to take them all out. There were only four or five taels of broken silver in total. He also picked a slightly larger piece and put it in his pocket.
While Yan was washing the cattle and returning to the house, Lin Ye said seriously: "Disciple feels that maybe Qu Qigui and the others are not aiming at me if they want to join me."
Lei Hongliu said: "Would Master's Wife be afraid of him?"
Lin Ye said: "I just feel that this matter is a bit strange. Wife and master, please be more careful these two days."
Lei Fenglei is the chief arrester of Yunzhou City. Although his status is slightly lower than that of Lord Fu Cheng, the two have been colleagues for many years and their relationship should not be hostile.
The people from Fu Cheng suddenly appeared and said they wanted to give Lin Ye a warning. This was more like some kind of test.
Lin Ye reminded Lei Hongliu because he thought something might happen to Lei Fenglei.
Lei Hongliu said with a smile: "I told you, your master's wife has a strong backing. You don't have to worry about me and your master. We will go to treat the injury first. I will come back in two days and I will continue to teach you."
Lin Ye leaned over to salute, and Yan Xi Niu just happened to be strolling back, reluctantly stuffing the money into Lin Ye's pocket.
"Take it, take it, and leave quickly. Don't let me see that silver again. I feel bad."
Lei Hongliu asked him: "But you gave them all?"
Yan Xiniu: "I've given it all, how dare I not listen to Madam's words? As soon as Madam gives an order, my arms and legs are not under my control. If I have the idea of hiding money, I will
He slapped my face with his hand."
Lei Hongliu was too lazy to pay attention to him and told Lin Ye a few more words.
When Lin Ye went out, he couldn't help but look back. Lei Hongliu was still waving to him.
Master Niang has a bold and strong personality. No one in the martial arts school has dared to offend her for so many years. In fact, it is all because of Lei Fenglei. What support can Master Niang have?
She just didn't want her disciples to worry.
So Lin Ye thought, Mr. Xin is so powerful, if something happens to the martial arts school, he can only ask Mr. Xin for help for the time being.
Thinking of this, my pace quickened a bit.
Perhaps because he was walking too fast, the things he had stuffed in his pocket fell out.
Lin Ye looked down and saw that it was a pebble. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and grabbed it, and pulled out a handful of pebbles.
