Rebirth of the Unruly Little Demon of the Boliang Guard
Chapter 36 No chance
The sun was shining brightly outside, shining directly through the window. Lin Li lay in bed for more than ten days before she was able to walk.
The yard was full of flowers, but now they have withered, only the plum blossoms are still in bloom.
Although the Lin family did prepare a carriage and two horses for the two assassins, they did not prepare five hundred taels of gold.
So Lin Li gave her jewelry and some of the silver she brought with her to the two assassins. After all, they didn't hurt her and even helped her escape from the Lin Mansion.
Anyway, the assassin and Lin Li have no hatred or grudge against each other. If there are conflicts in the Meng family, that is their business and has nothing to do with Lin Li.
After listening to the two assassins talking about their life stories, Lin Li also felt very sympathetic towards them. Their father had no connection with the rebels, but he was convicted of a crime and his entire family was executed.
The two of them escaped and wanted to ask the Meng family to help them investigate the matter again, but the Meng family did not investigate right or wrong and instead wanted to hunt them down.
The two brothers had no other choice but to kidnap Meng Ranyue and use her as a hostage to force the Meng family to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Unexpectedly, Miss Meng was surrounded by powerful people. They had no chance to take action, so in order to leave, they could only kidnap Lin Li.
Regardless of whether what they said was true or false, Lin Li did not want to pursue it. Now that she had escaped from the Lin Mansion and the capital, she no longer had to go through the marriage process.
Although she would most likely lose her life due to lack of energy if she left Xie Yu, Lin Li no longer cared. Xie Yu and she were not destined to be together, and after so long, Xie Yu didn't like her either.
The two assassins took Lin Li and fled to a fork in the road. The soldiers behind them were chasing too closely, and they had no way to continue escaping with Lin Li.
Since they were familiar with the surrounding terrain, there was a small village nearby. As long as Lin Li walked straight along the path, she could reach the village. The villagers were very simple and honest, and Lin Li would be rescued then.
The two brothers continued to walk towards the fork in the road to divert the pursuers. They only took away some of Lin Li's silver and returned the remaining jewelry to Lin Li.
It was dark and Lin Li was walking alone on a country road. She felt very scared, but in order to save her life, she had to move forward desperately.
He accidentally slipped and slid down the hillside, hitting his head on a rock and fainting. Lin Li had no idea what happened afterwards.
When Lin Li woke up, she was lying in a house, a country house. The house was full of mountain products, but it was very clean.
Her head was in severe pain and her feet couldn't move. She didn't know where she was and Lin Li didn't dare to speak.
Suddenly someone pushed the door open and Lin Li saw the person clearly. She was an old lady in her fifties with a kind face and gray hair on her temples.
"Girl, you finally woke up." The old lady poured a bowl of tea for Linlin and asked about Lin Li's life experience.
Lin Li didn't dare tell them the truth, so she told them that her family wanted to marry her to a man they didn't like.
But she didn't want to marry a dying man as a concubine, so she ran away.
The old woman told Lin Li that her head had hit a rock and was seriously injured. The doctor said she needed to stay in bed and not do any strenuous exercise.
Fortunately, the jewelries were still with Lin Li, and Lin Li had no money on her, so she gave the jewelries to the old woman and asked her to exchange them for silver as money for her medical treatment.
The old woman also has a son and a grandson. Her son's wife died of illness last year, and her son has not remarried. He makes a living by reselling mountain products to make some money.
~~
Lin Li was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, the old woman was feeding the chickens and ducks, and his son had gone out to collect mountain products.
"Xiao Bai, come here quickly, come to your sister."
The old woman's son was named Liu Fugui, and her son was named Liu Bo, just because his wife's surname was Bai, so they found a homonymous character.
Xiao Bai is not yet old enough to go to school, but he is very smart. He has already understood a lot of things and is obedient and sensible.
Lin Li stayed at home all day with nothing to do, so she asked Xiao Bai to read and learn to read. Xiao Bai learned very quickly and Lin Li didn't have to teach him hard.
"I taught you to recognize those words yesterday. Do you still remember them now?"
"I remember. I'll write it for my sister." As he said that, Xiao Bai picked up a branch and wrote on the ground for Lin Li to see.
The words he wrote were all correct, and Lin Li suddenly felt that being a master was a very happy thing.
"Xiao Li, you haven't recovered from your illness yet. You need to rest more. Don't let Xiao Bai bother you and prevent you from resting well." said Grandma Liu who was feeding the chickens on the side.
"It's okay, grandma. Xiao Bai is very sensible and I like him very much. He works so hard, he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future."
Which man nowadays doesn't want to obtain fame, fortune and become an official in the palace? If one can receive a generous reward from the emperor, his ancestors would be so proud.
Lin Li no longer had the chance to return to the Lin Mansion, so she couldn't help Xiao Bai with his career, and could only teach him how to read and write.
"If Xiao Bai can really pass the exam and gain fame and fortune, then our Liu family will be really lucky."
Grandma Liu lived in poverty for a while. Her son only knew a few words and had not been to school for many days. Therefore, she hoped that her grandson could have a good future and bring honor to the family.
"It will happen, that day will come, I believe it." Lin Li touched Xiao Bai's hair, and really hoped that one day she could see Xiao Bai holding an official position.
But on second thought, the officialdom nowadays is so dark and officials protect each other. Lin Li doesn't want Xiao Bai's pure white paper to be polluted, and doesn't want Xiao Bai to get involved in things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.
Maybe it would be a good thing for him to be a teacher in the countryside all his life, then marry a woman he loves and not be influenced by others.
However, everyone has their own ideas, and it depends on what path Xiao Bai wants to take. After all, everyone has different aspirations.
When Liu Fugui came back from the market, he also brought some snacks that Lin Li liked to eat. Almost all of Lin Li's jewelry was pawned to pay for the Liu family's living expenses and Lin Li's medical treatment.
Lin Li didn't really like those jewelries. They were too flashy and not necessary in the countryside. The value of those things lay in the fact that they could be exchanged for a little silver.
After selling those things, it means that Lin Li is no longer the same lady as before.
At first, the Liu family refused to accept Lin Li's money. They thought that it was not easy for a woman to wander around outside, so how could they ask for her money?
