The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 41 The Shadow on the Wall
"Brother, have you seen my mother, wife and children?" Gao Dahu led the two brothers up the mountainside, and knocked open the temple door. The big man was stunned for a moment and asked politely.

Uncle Ma shook his head, "No."

Gao Erhu, who was tall and thin next to Gao Dahu, rolled his eyes twice, walked to the door, and asked confidently, "Brother, where did you come from, and where is my uncle? The three of us are from Wantou Village, Haolianzhai." , Master Wu Nian in this temple is our uncle."

Uncle Ma heard from Fang Jiayin that the old monk in this temple is indeed Wu Nian.But he looked at the three monks "nephews" in front of him, and replied calmly, "Master Wu Nian went out for alms but did not return, so someone was entrusted here to guard the mountain gate for their master and apprentice."

Hearing that the old bald donkey Wu Nian was not there, Gao Erhu immediately straightened his waist, looked up and down Ma Sanshu twice with his small eyes, "Are you here?"

Uncle Ma San replied without blushing and panting, "Someone is the uncle of the little monk Lichen, the head of the Pingshun Escort, Ma San."

"You lied to ghosts!" Gao Erhu screamed, "Who doesn't know that Li Chen's little bald donkey was thrown at the gate of the temple, where did he come from his own uncle!"

Uncle Ma raised his hand to press the handle of the knife, his face sank, "I didn't hear Master Wu Nian mentioning that he has three lay nephews."

Gao Erhu took two steps back in fright, and almost didn't sit on the ground. Gao Dahu hurriedly pulled back, "Ma Biaotou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother can't speak, don't be as knowledgeable as him. We can't help it." ...the home is gone, and I still hoped that my mother and the children would escape and join the master, but I didn't expect... woo woo woo..."

When the seven-foot-tall man talked about his sadness, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, hugging his head. Gao Erhu gritted his teeth, and the circles of his eyes were red.Gao Sanhu, who was the youngest and strongest, kept his face sullen and did not speak. He sideways avoided Ma Sanshu and stepped into the temple.

Seeing that Uncle Ma didn't stop the third brother, the Gao brothers immediately followed in and walked straight to the backyard.Uncle Ma no longer cared about them, closed the temple gate and went back to the east courtyard. Seeing Fang's family of four and his son standing by the courtyard gate with sticks, he couldn't help laughing, "What is this for?"

The son muttered softly, "Third Uncle, they are definitely not the lay nephews of Master Wu Nian."

"I'm not the uncle of little monk Lichen either."

After Ma Sanshu finished speaking, everyone in the yard laughed.Then he explained, "These three are not villains at first glance, and it's not all bad to let them live in."

The three brothers of the Gao family rushed to the backyard to grope around, picked a few palm-length cucumbers in the vegetable garden, and gnawed them. After going around the west courtyard, they returned to the backyard to pry the lock on the door and entered the house. Come out again.

"Boom--"

With the sound of dull thunder, the rain that had been hanging for half a day finally fell, and the wolf smoke that had been burning for almost half a day in the west was also suppressed by the rain.

The son took the clothes and shoes hanging in the yard into the kitchen, and discussed with Dafu who was weaving rabbit cages by the stove, "Brother Dafu, when the rain stops, let's go to the forest to pick mushrooms and shoots?"

"I'll go too!" Little Ah Heng, who was guarding the rabbit, followed immediately.

"What is Ah Heng going to do?" Mrs. Fang walked in from the outside holding a broken oil umbrella.

"Picking mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots." Little Aheng had never played with these two things before, so he was very excited. "Mother, my son also wants to go with Brother Shengzi and Big Brother."

Fang was surprised, "Are there any bamboo shoots on the mountain this month?"

"There are bamboo shoots, which are sweeter and more delicious than spring bamboo shoots." Shengzi showed everyone how to follow the bamboo shoots of moso bamboo to find the tips of the shoots buried in the soil, and finally said, "Bamboo shoots are called bamboo shoots here Bamboo ginseng, if you dig it up, it can make up for Auntie and Brother Shen."

There are only a few liters of corn, a few liters of thick noodles, and seasonal vegetables such as beans, eggplants, and cucumbers picked from the vegetable garden in the kitchen, which simply cannot support seven people.Fang felt that he could still hold on, but Chen Ge was injured and lost a lot of blood, and he had a high fever again, so he really needed to make up for it.

However, there is no rush for this moment.

Fang said with a smile, "I know a lot about giving birth. Thanks to you, we can find such delicious food. But it's raining outside right now. Let's go when the weather clears."

About going out to dig bamboo shoots, Fang had to discuss with Ma Sanshu before making a decision.

Uncle Ma went back to the east room to catch up on sleep, but Mrs. Fang didn't want to disturb him, so he turned and went back to the door of the east wing room, only to see his daughter gesticulating with a long knife.Fang Shi was so frightened that she almost fainted. She supported the door frame to slow down, and then coaxed in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, put down the knife quickly, it will be troublesome if you get hurt."

Seeing that her mother was frightened, Lin Ruyu put down her weapon and helped her into the house, explaining, "My daughter and my third uncle picked up this knife at the foot of the mountain. My daughter should familiarize herself with it first, in case it is needed in case of emergency."

Shen Ge is sick, his mother is injured, Brother Dafu is honest and easy to deceive, his son and Ah Heng are still young, and Uncle Ma can't support him alone, Lin Ruyu has to stand up.She looked at the shining knife, and she was afraid in her heart, but as long as she held the handle tightly, it was others who were afraid!

"How strong are you? It's motherfuckers who want to be familiar. Jiaojiao backs away." Fang took a deep breath and raised his hand to grab the handle of the knife.

Lin Ruyu held the handle of the knife in her hand, took two steps back and said with a smile, "The wound on my mother's head is not healed yet, my daughter can do it, you see."

Lin Ruyu raised the knife with both hands and slashed downwards forcefully, the wooden stick leaning against the wall with the thickness of an arm was cut in two.

Fang was stunned, "Jiaojiao, you, where did you get so much strength?"

What a great knife!After successfully chopping the wood, Lin Ruyu's confidence surged, and she raised her arms and said, "My daughter is born with supernatural power!"

"You were born by a mother, can you know if there is a magician?" Fang looked at her daughter's slender arms and felt sad, "Let mother try."

"Be careful, hold the handle of the knife tightly and don't let go." Lin Ruyu handed the knife to her mother, admonishing her.

Of course her strength is not natural, but forced out little by little during the 17 years of being an orphan.Because of congenital heart disease, Lin Ruyu cannot escape when encountering bad guys, and can only win by brute force, ingenuity and intelligence.

Fang Shi cheered up, raised the knife and slashed on the wooden stick vigorously.Then, the stick didn't break, and the knife got stuck.She lifted the knife upwards vigorously, and the stick also left the ground.

Fang's...

"Let my daughter come." Lin Ruyu took the knife and chopped it down hard, chopping the wooden stick into two pieces.

Fang's eyes widened in surprise, and he had to admit that his daughter's strength was indeed greater than hers.

The rain continued until dark, and Shen Ge's wound did not deteriorate after taking medicine. Seeing that he had regained some energy, he offered to keep a vigil.Ma Sanshu and the others refused to let them go, so tonight, Ma Sanshu would watch the second half of the night, and Fang Shi would watch the first half of the night.

Lin Ruyu originally wanted to watch the night with her mother, but was severely rejected by her mother.

Because the frogs were making too much noise, she couldn't hear the movement in the courtyard, Lin Ruyu was worried, she got up lightly and went to the door to look out, her eyes were red.

Under the lantern, in the small courtyard, her mother, whose head was still wrapped in a white bandage, was holding a long knife tightly in both hands, and was repeating the action of chopping a wooden stick vigorously today.

Mothers desperately want to protect their children.

She also had to work hard, Lin Ruyu clenched her fists and raised her eyes, only to find a black shadow lying on the wall!
