At the foot of Linjia Village, four dilapidated old houses stood out. 。Under the picturesque scene of setting sun and lone wild geese flying together, with autumn water stretching as far as the eye can see, Lin Chui sat on the door frame, his hands resting on it, staring blankly at the end of the road winding down the mountain. 。Before going out, Old Ma locked the kitchen door and left only one egg and two fist-sized steamed buns for him. 。One in the morning, one for lunch. Eggs are for nutrition. 。 Lin Chuyi took the egg out of his sleeve, shook it in front of his eyes, then sighed and put it back. His poor younger brother, he'd better keep it for him. 。The sun set in the west, and as we looked down the road, a figure appeared at its end. The first to return, stepping back into the fading light, was Uncle, who worked in town. 。Lin Chuyi softly drooped her eyes. Even her elder sister couldn't eat food from their father's hands, let alone... 。Lin Yongmao, the second person after the old master of the Lin family's second room passed away who could make his mother so angry she would jump. 。It's not that I'm selfish, it's just that my grandfather favored sons over daughters. And because I'm the eldest, he brainwashed me for the longest time. 。Just like an old man, he always thinks that good things belong to the elder branch of the Lin family. He is a typical person who is in Cao's camp but whose heart belongs to Han. 。Lin Yongmao walked to the door, glanced inside, and asked, "Chuyi, are they not back yet?" Lin Chuyi nodded dumbly, then watched as Lin Yongmao left again. 。Then I'll go see your grandfather. 。Walking past, Lin Chu Yi saw a bulge on Lin Yongxin's waist and wondered what he had tucked away there. She guessed it was probably a pouch for cigarettes. 。The other day I heard Zhou mention that Grandpa's tobacco was running out, that stuff is expensive, he wouldn't buy more. 。Then, my uncle started to think about it. 。I've also wondered if maybe he was switched at birth, and he's not really from the eldest sibling's family. 。The second to return was Lin Yongxin, only eighteen years old, the fourth uncle who had been studying hard in the academy. 。Lin Chu Yi squinted her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, this person who could bring food 。As expected, Lin Yongxin saw Lin Chuyi sitting at the door from afar. He waved his hand and when the person came closer, he took out a small oiled paper package from his sleeve and handed it over, "Here you go, Chuyi, eat something to tide you over." 。"Lin Chuyi opened it and instantly broke into a big smile. It was baozi! 。So Lin Chuyi still likes this Fourth Uncle of hers. He's not rigid, he's adaptable, and his mind hasn't been corrupted by reading the works of sages. Although he's a scholar, he can humble himself enough to copy books in the library to make ends meet. 。Thank you, Fourth Uncle. 。Lin Chu Yi wasn't polite either, Zhang bit into it with force, her cheeks bulging, chewing like a little hamster. 。"Have they not come back yet?"Lin Chu nodded and after a moment said, "Sister Cui'er said they would be late..." 。Lin Yongxin let out a soft "Hmm" and led her into the yard. “I won't go to the fields anymore, let's make some food.” 。The kitchen door was locked. 。Lin Yongxin paused, glanced at the empty water tank, “I’ll go fetch some water. You sit here in the courtyard for a while, don’t run around.” 。Lin Chuyi took a bite of the steamed bun and, following Lin Yongxin's gaze, obediently sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. 。Lin Yongxin carried the bucket out of the door, and the yard was quiet again. 。Shortly after, a yellow and a black dog came strolling in from the back door. They probably smelled the aroma of the buns and circled Lin Chui, whimpering. 。Lin Chuyi scanned with his eyes, and the two dogs immediately became honest, hanging their heads and sitting on either side. 。Lin Chuyi held the black dog's head, sighing that this guy grew so fast. Even sitting down, he was taller than Dahuang. 。When the old woman first saw it, she even argued with her eldest brother-in-law from the main house. 。My uncle's house had a big wolfhound that used to be in the government office. During that time, it just happened to have a litter of puppies. I accidentally saw Big Huang bringing back only a black dog and loudly declared that it belonged to our family, and even named it Little Black. 。But the puppies from home weren't pure black, and the timing didn't add up either, so nothing came of it. 。Later, the old lady found it annoying, so she named it Dabai. But what everyone in the family didn't know was that this fellow, it was actually a wolf. 。It's still just a wolf mutation. Even though Lin Chuyi lived two lives, he had never seen a wolf that could bite into and eat three large cabbages at once. 。Wolves travel miles to eat, dogs travel miles to eat feces, these two at their house eat cabbage, radish, beansprouts, everything they can eat from the vegetable category, and they, regardless of whether it is raw 。Of course, those are other people's, and the old woman doesn't say anything. 。It's also possible that these two are smart enough to know that if they dare to bite their own vegetables, the next meal, they might end up on the dinner table. 。The baozi wasn't very big, Lin Chuyi ate it in a few bites. Looking at the remaining oiled paper wrapper in his hand, he sighed. 。Ah, although I followed the old man to hide in the mountains and forests in my past life, I had never starved. At the very least, I had three meals a day, with two of them being guaranteed. 。After passing the Golden Core stage, I would retreat for three to five days at a time and not even realize it. 。He often sneaks down the mountain when the old master is in seclusion, wandering freely through the colorful and bustling city. Although he gets a beating when he returns. 。Later, the old man ascended to immortality. The vast mountains and forests were left with only him, making him feel lonely. 。Perhaps the state of mind at that time had problems and started to be eager to practice, wanting to find the only relative in the world. 。With the help of what the old man left behind, he quickly reached the Yuanying stage, from the initial, middle, to great perfection. Finally, he was struck by lightning during the God Transformation stage. 。Twelve bolts of Heavenly Thunder rolled down from the bucket, annihilating everything in their path. 。I don't even know why my soul didn't dissipate and ended up in this empty frame of time, entering the body of a three-year-old child. 。When I arrived, this little girl's soul had already departed, so it wasn't a case of possession. 。In fact, at that time, my soul was damaged and I didn't have the ability to possess someone. But it just so happened that there was a strange fit, as if this was meant to be all along. 。A damaged spirit isn't something that recovers overnight. Just coincidentally, this girl fell seriously ill at that time and was being transported to the town clinic when she passed away. 。When I took over, the doctor said that the high fever wouldn't break and it could potentially lead to brain damage. The consequences, needless to say, could be dire – he might become mentally disabled. 。This is also the origin of Li Yongxin's relationship with this woman. At that time, 13-year-old Li Yongxin took an exam, and the old lady accompanied him personally, even taking all the family savings with her, so that the original owner, who was already weak and sickly, missed the best treatment time. 。For this reason, the old lady also felt guilty. Although she didn't say it out loud, in the five years since, Lin Chuyi had never done any housework. 。When it comes to food, just like the little ones at home, adults can eat until they are full. 。As for Da Fang's Cui'er sister, she started following Madam Liu up the mountain to dig wild vegetables at the age of five. The old lady's motto is that there are no idlers in the house. 。 |
