Chapter 27 Return to the Snake's Cave

I saw water traces on the ground, and there was a hot steam in the air. Water stains quickly penetrated into the soil, leaving only a pile of dark broken pots scattered around. And the hard-won fire in the pot has also been extinguished by water.

Lu Mengzhen looked at this mess and patted his forehead angrily. "Lu Mengzhen, Lu Mengzhen, although your hands-on ability is a little poor, at least you can make up for it in IQ, but you are stupid enough to tie and fix it with bark and cloth strips. This is good. A day has been wasted again!"

Fortunately, the flowing water did not affect the hanging locust flowers, otherwise Lu Mengzhi would really slap himself twice.

Rejuvenated, washed these pots and put them aside to dry. Looking at the tools in front of him, Lu Mengji was a little worried. I have to say that the conditions here are really bad.

Although he does not expect to have the experimental conditions in the laboratory, Lu Mengji has even prepared for the worst, but now everything is still extremely depressing.

The three broken pots barely turned out from the corner of the kitchen yesterday. The best one lacked a small half, but it can still be used to hold water, but the other two are really broken. Lu Mengji took a lot of effort to piece together, and the remaining large gaps are stuck with bark and wrapped in cloth strips, but who is the tree After the leather and cloth passed through the water vapor, they slipped off from the seams, and finally got together a piece of broken pot and separated separately.

But what can be found around is only these, and even the cloth is extremely scarce. There will be no strong glue for sealing, and those craftsmen who specialize in pot welding iron may go to this remote mountain village for a year and a half. If they come, I'm afraid the cauliflower will be cold.

Lu Mengji turned several pots upside down and looked at them several times, but there was still no way to do it except the previous method. In a blink of an eye, I saw several flower pots that were being soaked in water and looked at them for a long time, but there were too many capillaries in this plain pot. If it was used for distillation, I'm afraid that water vapor would not come out of the pipe mouth, and it would be astigmatized. If so, it would not be worth the gains.

After several circles around the yard, Lu Mengji tried everything he could get and threw it back helplessly. He sat at the edge of the pot and pouted and sulked.

"God, you let me travel to this backward era, and I admit it, and I also admit it to this small mountain village where birds don't shit, but you can't let me be so unlucky all the time. Which of the protagonists in those novels is not with unique skills, but I can only plant flowers to do experiments, and I don't wait for you to play like this!"

Lu Mengji sat on the ground and shouted helplessly. He was afraid that he would be caught as a witch, so he had to complain silently in his heart.

"Sister, my father asked me to tell you that several people came to pick up Brother Lin, saying that he might not come back for dinner these two days." Zhong'er jumped in front of Lu Mengji and squatted on the ground and stared at the flowers and seedlings under Lu Mengji.

"Oh, did Brother Lin say where he was going?" Lu Mengji was a little excited when he heard the news. He didn't have to distract his energy to take care of Lin Daimo. He could set aside time to study how to put the pot together.

"Well, Dad didn't say anything, but a man he said has been calling Brother Lin 'Big Brother'. Maybe he's going to take Mr. Home," Zhonger scratched his head. "But, sister, aren't you and Brother Lin a family? Why didn't Brother Lin take you home with you? When I went back, my father said that the clothes on that man were beautiful, like gold, and would shine.

"You little devil, my brother naturally has his business. Some things are not suitable for my sister, and my sister has to take care of these flowers and plants at home," Lu Mengjie smiled and scratched Zhong's little nose and looked at him dotingly.

"Well, when my father went to the city, my mother also cooked for me at home, but my sister is so beautiful. If I were a family with my sister, I would definitely take you everywhere. Oh, my mother must be in a hurry. Sister, I'll go home first," without waiting for Lu Mengjie to answer, Zhong'er ran out.

From afar, I heard Zhonger shouting in his yard, "Mom, what's delicious today?"

Listening to the excitement of his neighbors, Lu Mengjian stood alone in the courtyard and suddenly envied Aunt Li's life. The lovely children who knew how to love her husband became a luxury for Lu Mengjian. Lin Daimo has always been like a passer-by in this family, eating and sleeping. Both of them have always kept a long distance, as if they were protecting themselves and sticking to their own private land.

Now that Lin Daimo's family has found him, he left in a hurry with only one sentence. He doesn't even know where he is going and when he will return. I'm afraid he doesn't know whether he will come back or not. How could a prince like him be willing to stay in such a lifeless place? Lu Mengji forgot that she had also been praised by her parents and had a princess-like life.

The more I thought about it, the less I lost my appetite. I stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry food and squatted on the ground to study. The stomach, which was always suffering, finally couldn't help protesting and began to hurt violently.

Lu Mengji's diet is often irregular when she is studying, and she has long fallen into the old problem of stomach pain. After arriving here, she has never been troubled by stomach problems, so she has never paid attention to these. This pain made Lu Mengzhen sweat all over.

He barely boiled some hot water and warmed his stomach. After eating some dry food with water, the pain felt much better. Lu Mengji looked at the place and was irritable, and simply lay directly on ** for a half-day vacation for himself.

And the Lin family in Pulan City is surging undercurrents at this moment.

Lin Daimo got down from the carriage and saw the smiling face of stewer Zhang, who had been in the Lin family for decades. An old face had not been seen for a few months, but it was also much rounder. It can be seen that life in the Lin family was very comfortable.

"Young master, where have you been these days? I miss you so much! Alas, for so many days, you haven't sent a letter to your family. My wife is worried about you every day for fear that you will have something good or bad outside. A few days ago, I don't know where I heard about you, but that man really shouldn't have said that you are young master... As a result, as soon as my wife heard this, she was in a hurry and fell ill. Fortunately, the second young master has been asking someone to ask about you. The news, this time I learned of your whereabouts, I picked you back. Go and see your wife. In the past few days, she has even called your name in her dreams," Zhang said and his eyes turned red. He raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes and led Lin Daimo to the courtyard.

Lin Daiyue stepped on the back of the little man and got out of the carriage. Looking at Lin Daimo's distant back, there was a chill in his eyes. With a swing of his right hand, several dark shadows walked in the corner.

A sandalwood burns in the inner room, and white smoke rises and melts in the air. As soon as Lin Daimo stepped into the room, he felt a quiet coolness seeping into his skin and the smell of sandalwood, and his originally impetuous mood gradually settled down.

"Here you are," Mrs. Lin's curtain hanging in front of the bed, and the half-lying figure was faintly seen. She seemed extremely tired, and her voice seemed a little hoarse.

"The child is unfilial," listening to the powerless voice of "mother", he thought of his father's death, but he had not even kept filial piety for a day. Lin Daimo felt guilty and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"That day, I was dizzy and spoke a little heavier, but after you left, my mother regretted and inquired about your news, but you disappeared." Mrs. Lin choked and raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. "Son, you have suffered these days."

Lin Daimo lowered his head and bent down to the ground. Listening to Mrs. Lin's words, he was a little moved, but he couldn't say a word at this moment.

"Ser, my mother knows that you are wronged, but it's not your mother's fault. After your father died, the family lost its backbone, but you ran away from home again. During this period, our Lin family is really..."

stewer Zhang stood aside and took over the words, "Young master, you don't know. As soon as the master left, the masters of my family saw that you were not at home, so they took the opportunity to divide the family property evenly, and even took away our ancestral stone records. It's really bullying! The third master saw that the woman was weak, and the second young master had nothing to do. He couldn't make a decision, so he forcibly broke into the Lin family and wanted to occupy the business of Stone Records. His wife vowed not to die, so they hired a group of ruffians to smash our Stone Records. The poor master devoted his life to these stones and was destroyed by them so wantonly. Really Yes, alas!"

"I didn't expect the world to be so thin and cool," Lin Daimo raised his head and looked at Mrs. Lin, who was sick. The mean words of that day had already been forgotten, and now he is full of emotion.

"I originally respected my third uncle as a person, but I didn't expect him to be such a profit-oriented villain, which is really unpredictable." Lin Daimo stood up and said firmly, "Mom, please rest assured that with me, Lin Daimo, I will try my best to protect the Lin family's property, and I will certainly not let the Lin family's hard-run property fall into the hands of others. What's more, even if I'm not here and I have a second brother in the family, and the Lin family is not without a queen, why should others worry about our Lin family's property!"

When the third master of the Lin family received the notice, he hurried to the Lin family, full of hopes to announce Mr. Lin's will to him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got to the door, he heard Lin Daimo's painful criticism. In an instant, he drooped his face and turned around and walked out.

"Oh, third uncle, why did you go back and take a cup of tea as soon as you came here?" Lin Daiyue guarded the door early in the morning and looked at the third uncle coming out of the room angrily. He pretended to invite the third uncle into the room.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't drink this tea, it won't get stained with your Lin family's things and become so ungrateful," the third master of the Lin family shook his sleeves, his lips trembling with anger, and strode out. The third master has always favored Lin Daimo. After learning from the people what happened that night, he was determined to help Lin Daimo get back everything he deserved, so that the whole Lin family was ruined by Lin Daiyue, the prodigal son.

But the shrewd Mrs. Lin is not willing to give up her family's property. Although she is not as troublesome as an ordinary market woman, her full-mindedness is even more difficult to fight.

As soon as Third Master Lin stepped out of the door, several masked people in black suddenly rushed into Mrs. Lin's room and cut a knife at Lin Daimo's neck.
