Chapter 177

Lin Zhao touched the tip of her nose. "... Not yet, I forgot."

Lin Lin Heling couldn't bear to see his obedient daughter in a dilemma and looked at his third son with displeasure. "Little Three, such a big thing happened yesterday, how could your sister have the heart to talk about it, what kind of question is that?"

"I was just asking." Lin Lin Shifan was nailed by his father's look that was full of 'how can you be so ignorant'; he really didn't mean anything else.

"Hahahaha, who told you to ask at an inappropriate time!" Lin Lin Shisheng laughed loudly.

"..."

Lin Lin Shifan had nothing to say.

He turned and walked outside. "I'll go take a look at the foot of the mountain. If there's a chance to tell Little Four, let him be happy too."

His legs were long, his walking was vigorous, and he soon went out.

Lin Lin Heling looked at Lin Lin Shisheng. "Little Two, follow him, don't let anyone with ulterior motives notice."

"Got it."

The brothers left one after the other.

The commune members had all gone to work, there weren't many people in the village, and the two successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain, found Meng Meng Jiusi, and the three brothers found a secret corner.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, why did you come together in broad daylight?" Meng Meng Jiusi was curious, thought for a moment, looked at Lin Lin Shifan, and had a guess in his heart. "Third Brother is going back to the troops?"

He saw Lin Lin Shifan walking with wind in his steps, guessed that the medicine's effect was extremely good, and was very happy.

Lin Lin Shifan stepped forward, bear-hugged his fourth younger brother, and laughed in a low voice, afraid of disturbing others. "Little Four, you are Third Brother's savior. Thank you."

He patted him a few times, and the doctor Meng, who had no strength to truss a chicken, couldn't help but grin.

Lin Lin Shisheng watched with a smile.

When he was released, Meng Meng Jiusi rubbed his shoulder and didn't say anything.

Lin Lin Shifan had a clearer understanding of his younger brother's nature; he didn't know how Meng Jiusi treated outsiders, but he had a natural affinity for his own family.

"Little Four, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so high." Lin Lin Shifan's expression was appreciative, proud of his younger brother. "That medicine is very, very unusual, I think with this miracle medicine, the possibility of you taking off your hat is very high. Gu Chenghuai reported the news to the military region, just waiting for the news to come. If this matter comes true, what are your plans?"

Meng Meng Jiusi was stunned for a moment. "... Take off the hat?"

Waves of thunder seemed to ring in his ears, shaking him on the spot.

If Lin Lin Shifan were in the troops, naturally he wouldn't know too much about the situation outside, but on this trip home, he saw a lot on the way, knew how chaotic it was from top to bottom, and even more knew the days of those who were labeled. Little Four had the Lin and Gu families looking after him, and it was the Harvest Brigade that was too lazy to fight them, so life wasn't easy, what about those who had no one to help them? Their situation must be even more difficult.

He cheered up, his expression firm. "Right, take off the hat."

"... Is the hope big?" Meng Meng Jiusi looked at Third Brother in anticipation, picked at his fingers, and said: "I can endure hardship myself, mainly worried about my grandfather and Meng Jingmo Meng Guangbai."

Lin Lin Shifan pressed his right shoulder with his right hand, used a little force, looked at him, his eyes determined. "Little Four, you underestimate the medicine you made, underestimate your medical talent... I guarantee you can take off the hat!"

Lin Lin Shisheng tore down the stage. "Pfft, what do you guarantee with?"

"Hmph." Lin Lin Shifan crossed his arms, giving his Second Brother a light look. "I'm using Gu Chenghuai's connections, if this path doesn't work, I'll also contribute, so many connections, I don't believe we can't take it off."

"Besides, Second Brother also underestimates Little Four's ability, with his medical skills, once the news spreads, there will be plenty of military regions wanting him."

Who doesn't know the importance of an excellent doctor?

The people above aren't fools.

Meng Meng Jiusi cleared his throat and said somewhat awkwardly: "It's not my credit, it's Zhao Zhao's credit."

"Hmm?" Lin Lin Shifan made a doubtful "hmm" from his nasal cavity, his eyes puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhao also knows medical skills?!

Meng Meng Jiusi told about the existence of Tie Gu Ji; he was the one who made the medicine, and he knew better than anyone how special this herb was.

"Where did Zhao Zhao get the seeds?" Lin Lin Shifan was surprised, looking at Little Four and asking.

"Obtained by chance." Meng Meng Jiusi believed in his younger sister's words deeply, his words full of doting. "Fortunately, the seeds fell into Zhao Zhao's hands."

His brows and eyes were serious. "Others don't have Zhao Zhao's exquisite heart, wouldn't think of planting, and wouldn't spend so much time researching... how to make the seeds sprout."

As he spoke, a look of shame appeared on his handsome face. "Speaking of which, that Tie Gu Ji was initially planted by me, I didn't grow it, Zhao Zhao was worried I would lose patience, so she took it back to plant herself, and after it grew, she sent it over for me to research the medicinal properties."

Lin Lin Shifan's eyes were calm.

Still an exquisite heart, Little Four thinks too well of Zhao Zhao.

"Don't think so much, Zhao Zhao definitely didn't think so much, purely for fun, or she determined that the seeds could sprout."

He grew up with his younger sister, he could know what kind of fart she was going to let out just by her pouting her butt, she is lazy and smart, and wouldn't do things that waste time for nothing.

Lin Lin Shisheng thought the same, but he didn't say it.

Especially in front of Little Four.

Sure enough, Meng Meng Jiusi was full of disapproval. "Third Brother, how can you say that about Zhao Zhao!"

"Zhao Zhao put her whole heart into making Tie Gu Ji sprout for your sake, she cares about you, feels sorry for you, and is determined to help you stay in the troops, you can't think of her like that! How sad Zhao Zhao would be if she heard this."

Lin Lin Shifan was stunned. "Zhao Zhao for my sake?"

"Mm." Meng Meng Jiusi's tone was determined. "Zhao Zhao cares about you very much. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have remembered having such seeds."

This was what he inferred.

The matter was also about the same.

Lin Lin Shifan's heart was shaken, a look of being moved flashed on his upright face. "Zhao Zhao has me, this Third Brother, in her heart."

He looked at Lin Lin Shisheng triumphantly, his tail almost reaching the sky.

"I was still worried that after being away from home for so long, Zhao Zhao and I would become estranged, didn't expect... tsk." That smug 'tsk' was not generally annoying. "Zhao Zhao cares about me more, sure enough, the pot I carried when I was young wasn't carried in vain."

"The affection of carrying the pot is truly solid."

Lin Lin Shisheng was full of 'damn it'. "..."

This kid hadn't changed at all, still so confident.

Regret flashed in Meng Meng Jiusi's eyes. "I didn't even have a chance to carry the pot for Zhao Zhao."

Lin Lin Shisheng & Lin Lin Shifan: "..." What kind of request is this?

However.

Carrying the pot for his younger sister was their most precious childhood memory, they wouldn't trade it for a thousand gold.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Lin Lin Shisheng patted Little Four's shoulder.

Meng Meng Jiusi's expression was expectant.

He liked to hear his older brothers talk about things when they were young, savoring them carefully when it was quiet at night, imagining the scene where he wasn't lost and grew up with them...

"Second Brother, Third Brother, can the matter of reporting the new medicine to the military region be revealed to my grandfather?" Thinking of the serious business, the calm and collected Doctor Meng was full of seriousness.

"If you want to reveal it, then reveal it." Lin Lin Shifan exhorted. "Don't tell others, and don't say too much, so as not to make mistakes."

"I know, I will be careful." Meng Meng Jiusi responded solemnly; he told his grandfather also to let the old man be at ease. Clearly, he hadn't done anything wrong, he had saved lives all his life, didn't know how many lives he had saved, but ended up in this situation; although Gu Laoyezi Meng was open-minded, it was inevitable that he would think too much when it was quiet at night, furthermore, the heavy production pressure also had a double consumption of body and psychology on him.

Lin Lin Shisheng was going back to the troops in a few days, he wasn't in a hurry to leave, and chatted with his brothers.

At the same time.

The village became lively.

Everyone flocked to the Li family—

The matter started with a person who went up the mountain to pick firewood and accidentally walked too far.

This person was singing while picking firewood, who knew that just as he was picking, he stepped on a bloody hand.

His gaze moved up.

He met a rotten face.

There wasn't even half a person's shadow around, it was quiet as death, this person's throat seemed blocked by a rag, couldn't shout, retreated with a stiff body, and after retreating far away, pulled his legs and ran, shouting as he ran.

"Ah ah ah ah, Li Ergou, I am irreconcilable with you!!"

Ran into the village.

Rushed straight into the Li family.

Smashing the Li family's water vat like crazy, water flowed out, flooding the courtyard.

The Li family was eating, seeing this scene, they didn't react for a moment.

"Li Ergou, you damn thing, I want to kill you..."

Li Mother was the first to come back to her senses, stood up abruptly, rushed to scratch the person who broke into the house. "You died and went to hell, what are you doing? My vat..."

The person dodged, kicked the stool flying, and raised his hand to hit Li Ergou.

"What are you doing!" the Brigade Captain roared.

The angry man stopped and said loudly: "Brigade Captain, this family is insane, they threw Li Ergou's wife onto the mountain, didn't even bury her, didn't even have a mat, the smell was so stinky, I was just picking firewood, who knew I would step on a bloody hand, half my life was scared away, can I not come to the Li family to settle accounts?!"

The man, nearly 1.8 meters tall, was aggrieved like a child.

He questioned word by word, tearing off the Li family's face and lining, throwing them on the ground.

Li Mother looked at Li Ergou, saw the guilty conscience on his face, and her heart sank heavily.

Secretly cursing her second son bloody.

Her brain quickly thought of countermeasures; this pot couldn't be carried by the Li family, otherwise the family's reputation would be ruined.

Without waiting for the Brigade Captain to speak, Li Mother rushed to Li Ergou, hitting and scolding, "... You heartless thing! I told you to order a thin coffin, to send your wife on her way properly, what did you do? Zhang Shi married you for several years, no credit but hard work, how could you bear to throw her onto the mountain? Your conscience was eaten by dogs..."

She outputted a burst, and the strength to hit people was also great; Li Ergou's face was swollen, and he also took a slap when he wanted to defend himself.

"..."

Li Mother warned him with her eyes.

Seeing something, Li Ergou understood, suddenly squatted on the ground and hugged his head.

Wailing as if his parents had died.

"I didn't want to either..." he shed tears in regret. "Last night I went to order a coffin, the person hadn't arrived, the money was lost, one yuan, just lost like that, I turned back to look for it, didn't find anything, I did wrong and didn't dare to say, could only temporarily place my wife on the mountain, planning to find a way during the day to let her go decently... didn't expect, didn't expect to scare people, I boo-hoo-hoo... Wife, I'm sorry, I'm not a human, I'm a beast, I deserve to die..."

Li Ergou slapped his face, using quite a bit of strength, but who didn't know that hitting like that didn't hurt much.

This explanation, let alone the Brigade Captain, even the little puppies in Da Huang's family wouldn't believe it.

Uncle Hearing Changsheng was always on the front line of eating melons; he was gnawing on a vegetable bun, laughing happily.

"Ergou, didn't expect you to be so deeply affectionate to your wife."

He made a sound of doubt. "When your wife was alive, I didn't see you have such a conscience. What? Suddenly found it back?"

Li Ergou's sorrowful expression almost collapsed.

Staring at Uncle Hearing Changsheng, hating him endlessly.

The Brigade Captain didn't want to manage the dog-shit matters of the Li family. "Li Ergou, stop talking nonsense, hurry up the mountain, send your wife on her final journey properly, throwing people on the mountain, what does it look like, it's not like you're uncivilized beasts, what kind of things are you doing."

"No matter what your wife is, she washed clothes and cooked for the Li family for several years, people must have a conscience. If people don't have a conscience, they won't go smoothly."

After simply persuading a few words, he turned and left.

Zhang Manyue didn't die honorably, the brigade wasn't easy to intervene in her funeral, it all depended on the Li family's conscience.

But obviously, the Li family was shameless.

Sigh, the path you choose yourself, it's useless for others to say anything.

The Brigade Captain spoke, the man who came to make trouble at the Li family couldn't not give face, spat a mouthful of phlegm into the Li family's courtyard, left without looking back, and took a bundle of firewood when he left.

Li Mother: "Bandit..."

The man didn't answer, he wouldn't argue with a shrew, he would go back and complain to his mother, let the old lady come to tear the Li family!

The Li family didn't know yet that their firewood would be taken away one after another.

The villagers watching the fun left excitedly, the Li family knew as soon as they saw them that they were going to spread their family's fun, and all pulled long faces.

Li Mother poked Li Ergou's head, outputting a burst. "You idiot, couldn't even handle that little thing, what can you do. Hurry up and roll up the mountain, wipe your butt clean, the family has become a laughingstock after tea and dinner, it's all because of you, this stupid kid..."

"Mother..." Li Ergou was full of grievances. "My brother ran first."

"Still talking!" Li Mother slapped his back, scolding: "That's your brother's wife, or your wife, roll out of the house, don't come back if you can't handle things!"

Li Ergou looked at Li Da. "Brother..."

Li Da thought of that ghost face, his heart thumped, picked up the axe to chop wood, pretending not to hear.

He could help with other things, this thing, he really couldn't help.

It was too scary.

Li Ergou hung his head and went up the mountain, didn't dare to deceive himself anymore, did things trembling throughout the process, and ran down the mountain like crazy after finishing.

Meng Meng Jiusi looked at his figure and shook his head.

What's there to be afraid of about a corpse? Some people are much scarier than corpses.

"Does Song Qian Bao being stolen have anything to do with the rest of the Li family?" Lin Lin Shifan suddenly spoke.

"Shouldn't, it was the idea of that deceased person alone." Meng Meng Jiusi explained, these were what he heard Gu Gu Chenghuai guess.

Lin Lin Shifan lowered his eyes, very puzzled. "I heard the deceased was timid as a mouse, didn't even dare to speak loudly, where did she get the guts to steal a child."

"This strangeness was also discovered by Gu Chenghuai and Zhao Zhao, Gu Chenghuai is investigating." Meng Meng Jiusi said.

There was someone else in the dark, a very obvious thing.

"It's good that it was discovered, once that person is caught, they must not be let off lightly." Because Little Four was stolen when he was young, Lin Lin Shifan hated human traffickers very much, wishing he could give a shot to one once he caught one.

"Won't."

Gu Gu Chenghuai bought the candy and found Yang Yang Junzhi. The two compared the matter of the new medicine.

"Gu Chenghuai, someone is indeed eyeing the new medicine, and is still investigating the researcher..." A mockery flashed in Yang Yang Junzhi's eyes, those parasites disgusted him!

"Not strange." Gu Gu Chenghuai wasn't surprised, the medicine his Fourth Brother-in-law made... the medicinal effect could be called abnormal, you could think with your toes that the prospects were broad, who wouldn't want to take it over? Normal.

"Who is eyeing it?"

Yang Yang Junzhi said: "Many. There are forces of all sizes, my old man and my father-in-law can basically block them, but... those people in the county, with backers in the provincial capital on their heads, they also want to get involved, a bit tricky."
