After dressing as a widow

Before Lin Zhen and the others reached the Lin family's house, Lin Huaixiang and Lin Chunxiang had already run to the front: "Ah, dad, uncle is back, and he's back with Brother Shuanzi!"

Wow, several people rushed out of the Lin family's yard in an instant, and ran outside the yard. When they saw Lin Zhen who couldn't see his previous appearance on the horse, they all surrounded him: "Zhen'er! My Zhen'er is back!"

Apa Lin looked at Lin Zhen with tears on his face.

Although Lin's father standing next to him strained his expression, the concern in his eyes was no less than that of Lin's father. There was also Lin's eldest brother, Lin's second brother, Lin's sister-in-law, and Lin's wife, who was called back by him in May. Little unitary.

Lin Zhen slid down the back of the horse by himself, looked at the big family and said, "I'm back, I'm worrying you."

"I dream about you every day, both good and bad, just afraid that you will have a bad life outside." Father Lin grabbed his hand.

Lin Xiaoyao was also very excited beside him. He was called back by Lin Zhen in May, and when he returned to the village half a month later, he found that the crops were not good, and immediately told him exactly what Lin Zhen asked him to bring.

At that time, the drought was not serious, and there was a river next to Liyu Village. Father Lin and the others felt that the drought might only be temporary, and it would rain in ten and a half months.

But firstly, they were hungry and frightened before, and secondly, they trusted Lin Zhen, so they bought a lot of food secretly according to the words Lin Xiaoyao brought back without much consideration, and kept what they originally wanted to sell at home.

Up to now, the Lin family has a lot of food. Although they can't open their stomachs to eat, they can't starve to death.

It's just that Father Lin wants Father Lin to think that the family members should not be too conspicuous, and that they should dig some weed roots and tree roots like the villagers on weekdays.

Lin Xiaoyao, who was standing next to Father Lin, looked anxious and hesitated to speak.

Lin Zhenxin knew in his heart that he wanted to ask him about Zhong Yan.

But he doesn't know where Zhong Yan is now...

Gu Lin was pulling the horse behind, and while everyone was talking, he took the two buckets of millet off the horse and put them on the ground.

Daddy Lin, who was overjoyed, couldn't believe it when he saw Gu Lin who was so tall: "It's been more than a year since I saw Shuanzi grow so tall? He's taller than your daddy."

"..." Lin Zhen was stunned by Father Lin's hand, feeling a little strange in his heart.

In the past, others called him Gu Shuanzi's father, he was fine, but now he felt a sense of suffocation and awkwardness, and it was all his fault.

Lin Zhen glanced at Gu Lin, and said to Father Lin, "I have only raised him for a few years, so I don't count him as father."

"You are a father, what's the matter today, don't you protect the embolus the most on weekdays? Forget the time when you used to hug people on your lap?" At that time, Gu Lin was busy with his studies, so he didn't come back with him, and it happened to be more than a year now.

Aunt Lin and the others still have the impression of Gu Lin when they met for the last time. At that time, Gu Lin just went to Lin Zhen's chin. She was thin, wearing a water-blue robe, and her hair was longer than Lin Zhen's with a headband. It doesn't match their small village at all.

At that time, the relationship between the two father and son was very good. Wherever Lin Zhen went, Gu Rin would go there. They had a tacit understanding in everything they did. Ordinary father and son could not compare to them.

It's been more than a year since we saw each other, but Gu Lin jumped like a bamboo drenched in spring rain, but there seemed to be a gap between Lin Zhen and Lin Zhen.

Gu Lin looked at Lin Zhen, and said to Father Lin: "Ah, Uncle Lin is right, Uncle Lin has been kind to me in nurturing me, but he is not my father. I used to call him Uncle Lin, but now he is also my father." Uncle Lin."

……

Both father and son are equally strange. The Lin family looked at this and that, but it was difficult to say anything.

They didn't know what was going on inside, and they were afraid that if they couldn't persuade them, they would add fuel to the fire.

At this time, everyone recovered from the great joy of Lin Zhen's return, and looked at the bag of grains and the horse that Gu Lin took down. Whether it was food or horses, they were rare things at the moment.

And with a huge broad knife and bow and arrows on his back, he looks majestic.

Several boys from the family gathered around, Gu Lin took the reins of the horse: "It has a bad temper, I'll tie him up first."

"This horse is really majestic, can it be so high?" It was Lin Shitou who spoke, and he has been helping out in Zhenyouwei Snacks these past few years.

He is flexible and eloquent, more useful than his father Lin Laoer. Although the shop is owned by the adults in the family, he is in charge of it most of the time.

He eagerly looked at the tall horse, especially wanting to sit on it.

Gu Lin tied the rein: "I can go up, step on the pedals and pull on the saddle to get some strength, but its original owner is not me, and it will kick."

As if to confirm his words, the horse surrounded by Lin Shitou, Lin Zhuzi, Lin Shitou's seven-year-old brother, and Lin Zhuzi's five-year-old brother really kicked backwards, with such force that no one could doubt it at all. Kick people through holes.

Sister-in-law Lin, who was close, quickly hugged the two younger ones: "This horse is so wild, Shuanzi can ride it well?"

Riding well, how could he not be able to ride, and brought him back from such a far place.

Lin Zhen glanced at Gu Lin, who was surrounded by boys at home, and was pulled in by Father Lin, and Lin Xiaoyao quickly followed.

Father Lin's love for Lin Zhen is well known by everyone in the family. As soon as he entered the house, he touched his tender flesh that had been sunburned and faded: "How did you grind people like this? Did you suffer a lot along the way? I knew it earlier." Come back with Xiao Yao."

Naturally, Lin Zhen couldn't talk about what happened to him, it's all in the past, and it's useless to say that it's uncomfortable, so he just said: "It's pretty smooth, but it's not as good as being in the house, with a little more sun, and the care is back. .”

He has the best and fairest skin in the family, and it is even more worrying to look at him like this now. Father Lin remembered that he had bought some ointment to wipe his hands before, so he patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder to get it for him.

And Lin Xiaoyao, who couldn't wait for a long time, waited for Father Lin to leave, and looked at Lin Zhen eagerly: "Third brother, Zhong Yan, is he back in town? How is he? Did you get hurt on the way?!"

When he came back, Lin Xiaoyao had been thinking about his third brother, them, and Zhong Yan in his heart, but as the drought became more and more serious, this concern turned into worry, which made him sleepless.

He was happy when Lin Zhen came back, he was glad that his third brother was fine, and he finally let go of Zhong Yan who came back with his third brother.

If it wasn't for worrying that there are so many people in the family, and it is difficult for me to inquire about Zhong Yan's news as a brother, I would have asked clearly a long time ago.

Lin Zhen fell silent.

He looked at Lin Xiaoyao who was eagerly expecting to hear Zhong Yan's news from him, and said dryly, "Xiaoyao..."

"On the way back that day, we met the refugee army. In order to avoid the pursuit of the refugee army, I separated with Gu Lin and Zhong Yan..."

"Let's go, got separated?" Lin Xiaoyao's face was stunned, and he pulled Lin Zhen with trembling hands, "Third brother, when did you get separated? Is there anyone else around him? How old is he now?" place?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao getting emotional, Lin Zhen quickly held his hand: "Xiaoyao, he walked away with Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen and four servants, he is not alone, don't worry, wait a little longer day."

"Besides being able to read and write, he can't even do any heavy work. Even you and Gu Shuanzi came back after training like this. He..."

"Third Brother, I'm going to find him!"

"Xiaoyao!" Lin Zhen hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiaoyao who stood up and wanted to pack her things in a panic, "Where are you going to find the big world!"

"He is such a smart person, he will definitely find a way to come back alive, if you go, you will just fill in one more person."

"Third brother, I can't sleep all night these days. I'm afraid that you have something to do outside, and I'm afraid that he will be overwhelmed by so much suffering. I finally saw you, but I don't know whether he is dead or alive. ..." Lin Xiaoyao couldn't bear it anymore, tears fell down.

Lin Xiaoyao is 21 years old this year. If he hadn't been thinking about Zhong Yan in his heart, he might not have been able to withstand the advice of his father, Lin, to find a good family and a good person to marry. The children are three or four years old. .

But human emotions are so unreasonable, you can't let it go, you don't want to let it go.

Lin Xiaoyao knew that there was absolutely no possibility between herself and Zhong Yan, so she prepared to adopt a child early on, knowing that Zhong Yan would live well in a place she didn't know.

But now let him know where Zhong Yan might lie in the grass and never come back again...

Suddenly, Father Lin, who was going to get some hand sanitizer, came back. Seeing the two brothers, one with teary eyes and the other with a serious expression, he hurriedly asked what happened.

Lin Zhen quickly wiped away the tears from Lin Xiaoyao's face, "I told Xiaoyao what I saw on the road, and it made Xiaoyao cry."

Aunt Lin had never experienced a particularly serious natural disaster before, so he made preparations in advance at home, and he was not hungry, but just thinking about it made him shudder.

He walked up to Lin Zhen with the ointment, first wet the veil with a little water to wash Lin Zhen's face, and then applied the ointment to Lin Zhen.

Nowadays, almost all ointments are made with lard or some other animal oil, and they are all moistened by oil.

Anyway, after Lin Zhen wiped it off, he felt that his face was so shiny that it could reflect light.

Father Lin even took care of his neck and arms with a thick layer.

Seeing his appearance when the others came in, they let out a rare laugh in the drought.

And soon, they learned from Lin Zhen and Gu Lin that a group of murderous refugee troops were going to attack Anyuan Town, and they might flee to their small villages, so they lost the mood for joking.

Lin's father took Gu Lin to the village head with a serious expression to discuss countermeasures.

According to the news brought by Gu Lin, the magistrate of the county will draw out the militiamen from each village to deal with the refugee army together with the soldiers under the inspector. Then the rest of them must quickly find a way. What to do in the village.

For a while, Lin Zhen's joy of their return was dissipated a little. In the evening, the family had a luxurious reunion dinner and went to bed worried.

Lin Zhen was finally able to sleep peacefully, and barely opened his eyes until the sun was high.

Lin Zhen lifted the quilt and got up, suddenly, he saw a piece of paper pressed on the table beside the bed.

"Third brother, when you see this note, I've already gone very far..."

Lin Zhen almost crushed the paper.

Lin Xiaoyao actually went to find Zhong Yan!

How dare he go to find Zhong Yan alone!
