Chapter 279 I Remembered
"Little sister, if I tell you, can you please not tell anyone else that I told you?"
Lin Cai nodded to indicate that she could, and then glanced at Sanhu and Ershi, who were sitting not far away and had little presence.
She promised not to say anything, but if others said it, it would have nothing to do with her.
Reassured by the promise, Lin Bao told her whereabouts of Gu Zhan. After he finished speaking, he continued to secretly observe Lin Cai.
Seeing that his younger sister's face was expressionless, Lin Bao felt a chill run down his spine!
The scariest thing about his younger sister is that she can be either expressionless or smiling. Whenever you see her expressionless, it means someone is about to suffer.
If you see her giving you a forced smile, then you're in trouble!
"Little sister, I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said. Can you please let me go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Cai let go of his hand. After gaining his freedom, Lin Bao was about to slip away when he heard someone behind him say, "Didn't you just say that if you went back, your mother would break your legs?"
"If you run back now, you risk breaking your leg."
These words successfully made Lin Bao stop. He turned his head and looked at Lin Cai pitifully: "Little sister, my dear little sister, please let your third brother go!"
"Since you still have spare rooms, I'll stay here for a few days and then go back home. But don't worry, I don't eat much. If there's not enough food at home, I don't have to eat..."
He wants to live here, he absolutely must live here. He doesn't want to lose his leg, and he certainly doesn't want to become a cripple!
Lin Cai told him that there was indeed no food left at home, but if he ate a little less, it would still be okay.
Lin Bao stubbornly stayed at the Gu family's house, and that very night, several more people appeared in the woodshed behind the Lin family's house.
In the darkness, they stared intently at the two horses inside the woodshed, their eyes like those of wolves eyeing a boar in the mountains.
"See, see, what did I tell you? Such a big horse, so strong, if we killed it, we could gnaw on its bones for days."
"Yes, yes, you're right, but how should we get started?"
"How do you do it? Of course, you use a knife. Do you think you can kill it with your bare hands?"
Although they were starving, they still had their brains working, and each of them carried a knife.
The horses sensed danger and paced back and forth on the haystack, making a great commotion in an attempt to call over the big, silly guy from earlier that day.
But neither horse knew that the big, silly guy wasn't home today, so no matter how much noise they made, he wouldn't come over.
The danger was drawing ever closer, and the two horses grew increasingly agitated, their four hooves pounding the straw with tremendous force.
They try to display their power so that danger will see it and stay away from them, but they don't realize that this doesn't work.
Those waiting outside heard the commotion inside and couldn't help but whisper, "Niu Laizi, can you guys hurry up a bit?"
"If we keep making such a commotion, what if we wake up the Lin family?"
Upon hearing the voice, Niu Laizi inside also lowered his voice and said in dissatisfaction, "I know, I know, why are you rushing me? If you're so capable, do it yourself!"
“This is such a big guy, it’s not like a dog or a cat, how can it be solved so easily?”
He hasn't gotten close yet. There are two horses. They only brought five people, with two others guarding outside. How can just three of them handle two horses?
Before they came, they were all thinking about eating meat and hadn't considered this issue at all. Now, seeing these two figures, the three men with knives didn't know where to start.
It's unclear whether their hesitation made the two horses even more agitated, but then they kicked off with their hind legs, neighed, and galloped away.
Little Red ran out, followed by Little Black. The three people who had been surrounding them hesitated and were kicked away by Little Black and Little Red as they ran out.
The two people guarding outside fared no better; before they could even react, they were knocked flying and fell to the ground, sprawled out and unconscious.
The neighing of Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei still alerted the Lin family. Lin's parents got up, put on their coats, and came out. They saw two big horses pacing back and forth in the yard.
Lin's mother went over and stroked the horse's mane, soothing it as she softly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Why are you out here causing trouble so late at night instead of sleeping?"
As if the two horses could understand what Lin's mother was asking, they neighed again as soon as she finished speaking.
Lin's mother's eyes sharpened, and she called out her eldest and second sons, instructing them to light torches and go to the woodshed in the back.
Sure enough, when the eldest brother came over and told Lin's mother that there were three people behind them, Lin's mother immediately ordered her two brothers to tie up all three of them.
"It's so late at night, it's really lawless. Why aren't you all at home sleeping? What are you doing visiting other people's houses?"
Early the next morning, Lin Hu followed his mother's instructions, took two wooden sticks, and started walking out, knocking and shouting as he went.
"Whose husband/father is missing? Come out and claim him/her. If no one claims him/her, I'll send him/her up the mountain."
Lin Hu shouted all the way through Gujia Village. His voice was so loud that probably no one in the entire village could miss it.
Even so, no one came forward. On his way back, Lin Hu called out again, "No one's claiming it?"
"Are you done with it, or are you already looking for someone else? Are people so easy to find these days? The man's not even dead yet, and you're already in such a rush?"
"Lin Lao Er, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Is it normal for you to spout such nonsense so early in the morning?"
"Oh my, isn't this Aunt Peach Blossom? What's wrong? Aunt Peach Blossom, how come I'm talking nonsense?"
"I told them there are three people in my family, and asked them to see which family they belonged to, and let them come out and claim it themselves. If they don't want to, then they're just looking for someone else to take them in, aren't they?!"
"But that's understandable. Right now, everyone's starving. If I could find a man to fill my stomach, I'd do it too."
Lin Hu's words became increasingly outrageous, and Aunt Peach Blossom couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at Lin Hu with a stern face and said, "Where are those three people you mentioned? Take me to see them."
Hearing this, Lin Hu was somewhat surprised, but then he tapped the stick: "Oh, I remember now, wasn't one of them..."
