Chapter 30 There is no greater sorrow than death
In the dark dungeon, due to the lack of day for many years, the air is filled with a smell of decay. Lin Daimo was knocked to the ground and fainted. When he woke up, he was already lying on the wet grass in the dungeon with a splitting headache.
And the shackles on his feet were like roots, tightly binding him. An inexplicable fear came, and he realized that he was afraid that he was in trouble this time.
This is a private dungeon set up by the Lin family. When Lin's father was alive, he was specially brought to the dungeon to see it, which was used by the ancestors to stay in case of unforeseen. However, for nearly a hundred years, it has only been used to hold some sundries. When Lin Daimo saw this dungeon at the beginning, he did not say anything about what his ancestors did, but he never thought that one day it would really come in handy, and it was Lin Daimo himself who made the dungeon work.
On the way back to the city, Lin Dai did not doubt Lin Daiyue's original intention. However, after all, he was a brother of more than ten years, and Lin Daiyue's painful words on the road made him dispel his doubts. Even when Mrs. Lin was ill in bed and apologized to him with guilt, even his last trace of anger had dissipated. Unfortunately, all this turned out to be his wishful thinking!
Lin Daimo closed his eyes in despair and had already understood that it was the mother and son who colluded with him from Shita Village to take him back to Lin's house early in the morning, but he didn't understand why Mrs. Lin had to apologize to herself and deliberately made that scene for herself...
Unfortunately, I'm in a dungeon, and I'm afraid I will never have a chance to escape in my lifetime. In this way, he lay down for two days without eating or drinking until Fang Yuan came to this dungeon.
For Fang Yuan, Lin Daimo has always treated him like a brother. When they were young, they read and wrote together. When they grew up, Fang Yuan always followed Lin Daimo and ran around in order to choose better raw materials.
Lin Daimo tried his best to bring the bowl of water to his mouth, but finally stopped.
Even his former brothers have been cruel to him, but now there is a square circle that has been studying with him for more than ten years. I'm afraid this matter is not just a coincidence.
Seeing a trace of suspicion flashing in Lin Daimo's eyes, Fang Yuan seemed to be slapped face with tears in his eyes. "Young master, you have lost weight. If you know it under the spring, you don't know what you should be worried about. It's Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan can always be with the young master, the young master will not suffer so much. ......”
As he spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing down. Lin Daimo was extremely sad. He didn't know whether it was because of his father's departure or because of the other party's suspicion just now. He closed his eyes, put the water to his mouth and swallowed it.
When the cracked lips encounter water, it hurts a little, but the pain is less than one thousandth of the heartache.
There is no greater sorrow than death. Today, Lin Daimo really understands the meaning of this sentence.
"Fang Yuan, you, let's go, don't take risks for me." The hoarse voice slowly came from Lin Daimo's mouth, and the feeling of vicissitudes made people tremble.
"No, I must not sit idly by, young master, you must take good care of yourself first. I will have a way to save you," Fang Yuan's firm attitude made Lin Daimo feel desperate and finally feel a glimmer of hope.
But how can Mrs. Lin easily escape from the person she deliberately caught, and can't help shaking her head repeatedly, "Don't risk yourself because of me. If you are my mother, no, Mrs. Lin knows that even you can't protect yourself..."
Fang Yuan didn't say anything, but the firmness in his eyes did not change at all, so he pushed the food box to Lin Daimo's hand again. "Young master, please eat quickly. It's not a short time. If you stay here, you should be suspicious." After saying that, he picked up the food box left in the morning, took a closer look at Lin Daimo, and finally strode out.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and there was only a bang, and the door of the dungeon was locked again. Everything around him returned to silence. Lin Daimo opened the food box at hand, and there was still only one steamed bread and a plate of dishes, but the dishes were obviously much better than the previous two days. After a moment of hesitation, he finally picked up the chopsticks and sent the dishes to his mouth.
Lin Daimo put more than half of the leftover steamed bread directly next to the food box and still lay down. The place where he was shackled was a little bleeding. With a slight movement, he felt that his ankle seemed to be broken.
In a while, I heard the sound of rats running. A mouse found the steamed bread next to the food box and quickly called his companion over. Although these animals in the dark have always been unhated by human beings, sometimes they are much more kinder than humans.
Although Lin Daimo was scared to death, he still tilted his head and watched the two elves jumping around the steamed bread head. His small and divine eyes emitted a faint light in the dark. After a while, he finally lifted the steamed bread back to his hole.
Seeing this, Lin Daimo suddenly thought of the woman who couldn't help screaming when she saw the mouse, but finally forced the mouse with a broom. It was also because of the mouse that he was called a big turtle that Lin Daimo couldn't help laughing when he remembered his four feet lying in the vegetable pot.
"Lu Mengji, thank you for your care, but it's a pity that you can't hear it. In fact, it's quite interesting to live with you," Lin Daimo muttered to himself, remembering the scene of watering and fertilizing the seedlings, and the two of them blushing as they talked, and a trace of warmth gradually appeared in their hearts. "I'm sorry, from now on No one will make you angry anymore..."
He closed his eyes and waited for the moment of poisoning.
Lu Mengjian was thinking about making an appointment with Aunt Li to go to the city. She got up early to get water flowers and vegetables. When everything was cleaned up and stopped, Aunt Li had already been outside the door.
"Mr. Lin has been gone for a few days, and it's okay if he doesn't come back. Why didn't he even bring back a letter..." Aunt Li thought about it and hurriedly said a few times, "I'm talking nonsense, and I'm such a good person. But why don't you go directly to the Lin family to find your husband?
She was kicked out of the house as soon as she got married, not to mention that she was still in a coma at that time. Even if Lu Mengji wanted to find it, she was powerless. What's more, Lu Mengji didn't plan to find Lin Daimo at all, so he had to smile, "Of course, I also believe in sir. Maybe he will come back in two days."
Lu Mengji said as he closed the door. Because he was too old, a piece of the wooden door had been peeled off, and he had to close it without a door lock. Without waiting for Aunt Li to speak, Lu Mengjian hurriedly grabbed Aunt Li's arm. "It's getting late. It's time for us to go to the city, otherwise the sun will rise and we will be too hot to walk in a few steps."
Two days walk all the way to the gate. Lu Mengjian's legs have been sore for a long time. She pulled Aunt Li to take a nap. She only heard several hawkers around her chat enthusiastically. From time to time, the word Lin Jia appeared. Lu Mengjian was curious and couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.
People came and went on the road, and several hawkers gathered in a circle and talked enthusiastically, attracting everyone's attention.
"Hey, have you heard that the young master of the Lin family who disappeared some time ago has been found!" The thin young man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks pretended to whisper mysteriously, but his voice was not big or small, which was heard clearly by Lu Mengjian.
"I've also heard about it. Oh, it's really miserable. I've seen the eldest son of the Lin family once far away, but he's really a talent. Not only does he look like him, but even his every move is different from us ordinary people. How can such a good person be said to be gone!" The middle-aged man with a beard said with a sorry face, and the people around him couldn't help sighing.
Lu Mengji heard these words clearly, and suddenly it was dark in front of him. He only felt a roar above his head, and the sound around him became faint. He muttered, "How can it be? Isn't he still fine when he left..."
When I turned my head with a beard, I saw a young girl sitting beside me. In my heart, she only said that she was a Huaichun woman who admired Lin Daimo. She comforted her kindly, "Girl, don't be sad. Can the young master of the Lin family be climbed by us ordinary people? I think you'd better find a good family. It's serious to marry yourself early.
"How does this big brother talk? Our wife has been married for a long time, but we can't ruin the reputation of other girls," Aunt Li held Lu Mengjian's hand and stared at her fiercely.
The beard was originally good intentions, but he was used to talking casually in the market, and the words he said were inevitably not considerate. This time, he was robbed by Aunt Li and couldn't help but be embarrassed and speechless.
"Sister-in-law, our eldest brother is also unintentionally talking. Don't take it to heart." Seeing this, the slender young man hurriedly got up and rounded up, and the awkward atmosphere eased a little.
"I'm not right just now, but I heard you talk about the young master of the Lin family, and I don't know which Lin family he is?" Aunt Li lost her temper when she saw Lu Mengjian's words after listening to these people. She expected that this must be related to the Lin family and couldn't help asking curiously.
"In addition to the Lin family of Stone Records, which other Lin family has a great career that everyone knows!" The thin young man glanced at Lu Mengjian, who gradually calmed down. "About two months ago, on the day the young master of the Lin family got married, the old man of the Lin family suddenly died of a serious illness. I don't know what happened. After the young master Lin quarreled with Mrs. Lin, he actually ran away from home without even showing the old man's funeral. In order to find Master Lin, the Lin family almost turned over the whole Pulan City, but there has been no news from the young master.
"Until a few days ago, some people said that they had seen the young master in a small mountain village outside the city, and the second young master of the Lin family immediately drove the carriage to pick up the young master back. Alas, unfortunately, the young master was seriously ill and had suddenly killed the day before! When the second young master came back, he cried hoarsely. After hearing that Mrs. Lin saw the young master's body, she fainted on the spot.
After listening to this speech, Lu Mengjian and Aunt Li couldn't help looking at each other. The stone that pressed on Lu Mengji's heart was finally removed.
"This little brother, when do you think the young master will return to the city?"
"It seems to be two or three days ago, but I haven't heard of the funeral, and it may take a few more days," the slender man said with a nose and eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
