Chapter 226: Making Friends with Righteousness
"Little brother, what are you baking? It smells good.
How about I exchange something with you?"
Shopkeeper Wang came over with a food box and sniffed hard.
There is a sweet smell in the air, and it smells delicious.
The food in his lunch box wasn't bad either.
Shopkeeper Wang avoided Lin Hongyi and went straight to Lin Shu.
It was because he saw Lin Shu frowning tightly when she was eating biscuits, and children should be more communicative before eating.
As long as he can get in touch with the two brothers, he will feel more confident.
Shopkeeper Wang opened a corner of the food box to show Lin Shu, which contained four steaming white buns and a plate of side dishes.
"It's done!
This is a crude thing from the mountains, it fills you up very well and tastes sweet and delicious." Lin Shu said innocently.
She glanced around and saw that most families with pots would never treat themselves badly when it came to food.
Families with horse-drawn carriages ate white noodles or white steamed buns.
To put it bluntly, she was still a little timid.
When someone offered to send food to her, Lin Shu didn't care what the intention was.
Eat first and then talk.
She took the steamed buns and side dishes from the lunch box, took out four fist-sized sweet potatoes from the fire and put them into the lunch box.
The sizzling roasted sweet potatoes were so fragrant that the shopkeeper Wang was drooling.
"Thank you, little brother. Thank you very much!"
After a successful first battle, Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed and kept bowing to Lin Hongyi who was standing beside him.
Seeing that he was not unhappy at all, she left with a happy step.
"Brother, eat quickly."
As soon as Lin Shu and others left, he hurriedly grabbed the steamed buns and side dishes.
The two brothers were enjoying their meal so much that they still felt a little hungry after finishing two steamed buns.
Take the roasted sweet potatoes and pat them a bit, and the sweet taste will be stronger when you tear off the skin.
The red flesh makes you want to swallow it in one bite.
...
"Gu~dong~"
Those who wanted to make friends with the two brothers brought their own food over.
A bowl of rice with a little pickled vegetables, a bowl of white noodles, and five white flour pancakes.
Someone even brought a bowl of braised pork, and everyone present was gulping down their saliva.
Lin Shu accepted all the offers, but was a little reluctant.
When she took out the last tiny sweet potato from her clothes.
This intentional friendship in the name of exchange ended.
The two brothers ate all the food in public, which made everyone stunned.
Few families can afford to feed this much food even during the harvest season.
No wonder we got lost!
Everyone imagined all kinds of melodramatic things, and while they admired the two brothers, they also felt a little sympathy for them.
...
When they hit the road again, the two brothers playing as forwards no longer ran away.
Instead, he deliberately slowed down his pace, trying his best to prevent the people following him from falling behind.
‘Da da da~’
There was the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from the front, and Lin Shu, lying in the backpack, spoke anxiously.
"Brother, tell the people behind to get out of the way quickly."
"it is good!"
Experience tells Lin Hongyi that this is not the time to talk too much.
Listening to my little sister will only bring benefits and no harm.
There was a bloody coup in the imperial palace, and no one knew how many people were involved.
“There are cavalry coming ahead, everyone retreat into the forest.
Get off the road quickly and leave your heavy luggage behind, your life is at stake.
run!!!"
When everyone heard the sound of horse hooves, they didn't take it seriously.
Instead, they were looking forward to who was coming, but they saw the big brother who was leading the group running into the forest.
It was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When everyone looks at each other in bewilderment, there will always be people who will follow the trend and run away.
Throw away the pots, pans, and utensils that are in the way.
The food cannot be thrown away. It concerns the family’s food supply, so just carry it on your shoulders and run.
Suddenly, there was chaos.
Someone ran eastward for a distance, then realized something was wrong and turned around and ran again.
The little child was crying for his parents, and he and the ladies who were supported by them slowly climbed up the mountain.
Those ladies had never been so embarrassed.
The beautiful bun was scattered, the pearl flowers fell, and the exquisite nails were broken.
The pain brought tears to my eyes.
The dress that was mopping the floor was stepped on and became dirty.
The two brothers who ran to the top of the hill first saw chaos below.
The ladies, who had never suffered hardship, could even crush an ant to death with the support of their maids.
Of course, if there are ants.
There were countless shoes that ran away, and even scattered books.
Boxes, cages and quilts were scattered all over the floor.
...
"Hurry, urry, urry, urry!"
The cavalrymen in front waved their whips and hit their horses.
The horse, in pain, threw up its hooves and ran away, frightening the people who didn't have time to evacuate, so that they rolled and crawled off the roadbed.
"Shh~la~"
The cavalrymen looked calm as they wielded their swords to clear the roadblocks.
‘Ah~’
The shrill screams woke up the people who were watching.
They climbed up the mountain desperately, fearing that if they were a step late they would become the next soul to be killed.
Lin Shulin took a closer look and saw that this was a cavalry group without any markings, but they were wearing yellow cloth strips on their arms.
They killed people without blinking an eye, as cruelly as the northern barbarians.
【This court is beyond salvation.】
[If you massacre the people under your rule, even if you sit in that high position, you will still end up dead. ]
"Brother, let's go!" Lin Shu whispered.
As the number of cavalry increased, more and more civilians fell under the sword.
The two brothers had no choice but to retreat into the mountains. How many people would survive was not something they could control.
...
"Wuwuwu~ It's gone. There's nothing left."
"Mom and Dad, how are my sister and I going to survive?"
……
The sound of crying came from the foot of the mountain, making people's noses sore.
Since escaping, Lin Shu has witnessed too many separations and deaths.
Northern barbarians, bandits, soldiers and bandits, anyone can be caught and it is inevitable to take action.
Living is worse than an ant.
"Why is life so difficult!" Lin Hongyi sighed.
“It’s hard to live in troubled times, and it’s even harder when the government does nothing.
All we can do is live every day well.
Who knows what tomorrow will be like!" Lin Shu said helplessly.
“Hurry up and find a place to rest before dark.
We must move south as quickly as possible, as the north is going to be in chaos."
"How do you know it."
"After the emperor passed away, everyone started fighting for power. This is the chaos in the country." Lin Shu said profoundly.
No matter how much he said, Lin Hongyi couldn't understand.
The main thing is that she can't come up with any more profound theories.
Quit while you’re ahead!
Lin Hongyi shook his head, indicating that he did not understand those profound questions.
“Stupid, the court now is one big family.
If the old man who is in charge of the family's finances passes away one day, his sons and daughters-in-law will jump out to fight for the management of the family.
Think about it yourself! "
Lin Shu stopped wasting time and climbed out of the backpack and jumped onto a tree.
"Swoosh~" He slid down the tree and ran forward alone.
"Hey! Little Stone, how could you abandon me?" Lin Hongyi said as he watched the little man running away.
"That's because you're stupid, you don't know how to walk faster!
It gets dark early in the mountains and forests, and I have no idea what's going on.
You want me to sleep outdoors in the forest? No way." Lin Shu ran away, chattering.
