The place where the car was parked was not too close to the village, and it took Lin Tong a day to get back to the village.After he took out Lin Nan's toy, the little guy blushed with excitement, touched his card, squeezed the plasticine, and played with marbles for a while.Chen Xian looked at it warmly, so Lin Nan pulled him to sit down and play together.

The first snow of winter fell quietly one night, and the whole mountain village was buried by the snow.The ancient night was eerily quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs.Lin Tong had long ago found someone to build the stove and flue according to the pattern he drew, and repaired the house again, and made two thick leather curtains to hang on the doors and windows, making the house warm .A few children from the Wang family ran to Lin Tong's house when they had nothing to do, because the room was really warm.

When there are too many people, it is easy to make a fuss. Lin Tong got a lot of dried fruit from the mountain, as well as sun-dried dried fruit. The children quarreled over a few snacks every day.In the end, Lin Tong had no choice but to let them read and read with Lin Nan.This made Wang Da very happy. His son could read and write, so he immediately sent two hens to Lin Tong's family.After Lin Tong had a good meal, he finally brought back a deer leg.

With a hen, there is no need to buy other people's eggs to eat. Lin Tong solemnly handed over the responsibility of feeding the chickens to Lin Nan, so that the little ones can also learn to work.During the few months that Chen Xian followed Lin Tong, he ate well every day, slept warmly, grew a little taller, and grew a lot of flesh on his face, and he could no longer see the pitiful look he had before.

The meat at home is almost finished, and the snow is coming one after another.It was definitely not possible to go up the mountain in this weather, so Lin Tong went to the foot of the mountain to try his luck, to see if he could catch something and come back.After a few days of dry work, a few rabbits were caught.The meat was gone in two days, Lin Tong walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, thinking about how to get some fresh meat while walking.When I passed by and saw the frozen river, I suddenly remembered that there should be fish in this river.That's right, I haven't eaten fish since I've been here for several months!Eating fish is smart, just suitable for Nan Nan to eat.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a man looking furtively towards his home.Lin Tong frowned, stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder, "What's the matter!"

The man jumped up suddenly, and said with a dry smile: "It's okay, I just want to ask, who is the owner of this house?" As he said, his eyes kept looking at Lin Tong.In the end, a look of pity appeared on his face.

At first, Lin Tong suspected that this person was Fang Wuliang, and was about to drag him away to kill him secretly, but seeing that the person was not as described by Chen Xian, his face softened a bit.

"I heard that this family seems to be from Zhangnan. I happened to have a relative there, so I wanted to inquire about it."

This person is lying, Lin Tong is not stupid, of course he can tell.This man was obviously making up nonsense to deal with himself.

Back then, both Lin Tong and Lin Nan's native places followed Chen Xian's, and they were reported as Zhangnan, Shandong.In order to cope with the government's inquiries, Lin Tong kept inquiring about the situation in Chen Xian's hometown in the first few days, asking clearly about the local place names, customs, environment, and the government.

But Lin Tong reported his hometown as Zhangnan, and only a few acquaintances in the village knew about it.If you really came to inquire about the whereabouts of your relatives, why didn't you ask the familiar villagers to introduce them instead of sneaking over.

The most suspicious thing is, how did he know that his native place in the official newspaper is Zhangnan?Who told him?

Lin Tong dealt with him casually, and the man left without even looking back.Lin Tong sneered in his heart, threw a few rabbits into the yard, and followed them. He saw that the man got into a carriage as soon as he left the village entrance. When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Lin Tong caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man sitting inside. young man.

"Drive!" The carriage started to drive, Lin Tong followed all the way from a distance, and saw the carriage entered a manor.Fortunately, his physical strength is really abnormal now, otherwise how could he run for so long without stopping his breath.After secretly remembering the name of the manor, Lin Tong turned and went back to the village. He wanted to find out who the owner of the manor was.

"How is it? Have you seen the child from that family?" asked the middle-aged man in the car.

"There are several children in that family, none of them are particularly outstanding. I haven't seen the child Fang Wuliang mentioned for a long time. There is a young man in his sixteenth or seventeenth year in that family. He is really handsome, but it is a pity that he is old. It's too late, the master may not be able to see it."

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and said: "Fang Wuliang will make a decision here first, but we have to find something else, alas!" My master likes to play with handsome little boys, and I don't know how many times he killed them. Let people find new ones.Even though he doesn't want to do this immoral thing, he still has to do it.

Lin Tong took advantage of the snow to stop and went to the city again to buy some new year's goods.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he doesn't know what is needed for the Chinese New Year in ancient times.He simply went to the city with Wang Da, and he bought whatever other people bought.The manor he saw with the carriage that day was said to be a well-known local family surnamed Zhang. After inquiring for a long time, Lin Tong couldn't find out what was wrong with the house. .

He didn't know that the Patriarch of the Zhang family liked boys, but he would never let his family members handle this matter. He entrusted those few buyers to do it. Go take a look, if it's really good, make a decision first.If he had a crush on a child from any family, he would call Fang Wuliang and the others, and these local snakes would naturally have a way to get the child.Those who play dead will be buried, and when they are older, they will be servants. Knowing that his preferences are also servants in the yard, so there is no bad reputation spread.

There is no impenetrable wall, so his hobbies were spread out indistinctly, but those who knew about it all had money dealings with the Zhang family, and ordinary people in the market would not know about this kind of thing.Lin Tong didn't find out about this, so he didn't take special precautions. He thought that the man might really come to ask about the whereabouts of his relatives. How could he expect that there were people who would specialize in collecting beautiful boys.

Wang Da first picked two peach wood boards that were one inch wide and seven or eight inches long, and Lin Tong also took two. He didn't know what they were for, and saw Wang Da holding the boards and looking for a writer in the market. Helped to write the names of two Shen Tu and Yu Lei, which seem to be the names of the door gods.Are there no Spring Festival couplets here?Lin Tong looked around, but couldn't find anyone who wrote Spring Festival couplets for others. It seems that Spring Festival couplets are not popular in China yet.

"You have two children in your family. I will buy some more gummies later." Wang Da said as he walked. In fact, in his eyes, Lin Tong is also considered a child. He is only 15 years old, and his eldest son is only two years younger than him. age.It's also fortunate that this kid is so capable, supporting the whole family by himself.

The Jiaoyasu is actually a fudge made from malt and rice, which is sweet and sticky to the teeth. At that time, the sugar making technology was not yet developed. Jiaoyasu was a kind of sweet that children liked very much. Another common Candy is stone honey, which is a bit expensive.Because of the Chinese New Year, Lin Tong was also quite generous, buying a few catties of every kind of candy.He also bought a lot of sweet cakes of various colors, Wang Da frowned while watching, thinking that a boy is just a boy, if he spends money so uncontrollably and doesn't know how to save it, how will he marry a wife in the future.

When Lin Tong went to pull the cloth again to add new clothes to the two little ones at home, Wang Da finally said, "The cloth you bought is not strong at all, and it will be worn out after a few years." Lin Tong touched it. Nose, smiled, "I know, but the cloth is soft to the touch, and they are comfortable to wear." It turned out that the cloth Lin Tong pulled last time was too thick, and Lin Nan's skin was very delicate, and it was worn out within a few days. Lin Tong wanted to get some soft fabrics for his son this time.

Wang Da shook his head, he didn't want to say anything more, the two quickly prepared all the things needed for the New Year, and Lin Tong cut some fresh meat and went back.Now the meat at home is all marinated, and there is no fresh meat.

When he went back, the basket and two baskets that Lin Tong brought were full, and he carried a few small bags in his hand, but fortunately he didn't feel the weight.There were really not many people in ancient times. This was the biggest feeling in Lin Tong's heart at this time. He remembered that when he went to the shopping mall with his wife during the Chinese New Year, it was so crowded that he could step on people with his feet.But it was already approaching the Chinese New Year here, and many villagers came to the city to buy new year's goods. The number of people on this street was a few percent more than usual, and it was not crowded at all.

After returning home, I saw Lin Nan squatting next to the second son of the Wang family, with his little head bobbing and his eyes staring round, listening intently to the little guy from the Wang family bragging about how he caught birds, fish, frogs, and There are those sour fruits that are eaten in spring.The other children didn't bother to listen to this, and went to play on their own, and only Lin Nan, who was new here, found it new.Seeing Lin Nan's support, the boy from the Wang family immediately regained his spirits, talking like hype.Lin Nan listened for a long time, his feet were already numb, and he was still reluctant to get up.Throughout the winter, these children read and read together, sat next to each other, and ate together. Lin Nan gradually began to get in touch with them, and the whole person became more lively.

Seeing Lin Tong coming back, Lin Nan didn't care about listening to the story anymore, she jumped up and jumped on Lin Tong, who knew that her feet were so numb, she twitched all at once, "Dad, my feet are so numb!" There was grievance in his voice .

Lin Tong picked Lin Nan up and rubbed the little guy's numb legs. "Is it still numb?"

"It's still numb." Lin Nan nodded.Lin Tong pinched for a while, "Is it still numb?"

"It's still numb, it's even more numb." The little guy lowered his head and chuckled, but his ears had already turned pink.Lin Tong patted Lin Nan's butt, "Just pretend, let's go, and go to your adoptive father's house with Dad."

Lin Tong took out the sweet cakes, and a group of children rushed to grab them like crazy. The Wang family boy didn't complain that Lin Tong had snatched away his best audience. Cake comes out.Chen Xian, who was the fiercest snatcher in the past, only took one piece this time. It turned out that this guy had already seen the pile of untaken candy cakes in Lin Tong's box.The beauty in my heart is like something, I will take these sweet cakes to starve them to death during the Chinese New Year.
