Lin ...... Lin Binding! ”

Lin Lian and Zhou Pu stood side by side in front of the pier for the prosperity and liveliness of the Shanglin Village Ferry, a big hand full of calluses put on his shoulder, and shouted in surprise: "... Scholar! It's really you, Xiao Wu is still dazzled when he sees you from afar, I know you are hard, I didn't expect you to come back! ”

Zhou Pu looked back, and a sturdy young man with dark skin stretched out his arms, and grabbed Lin Lian's shoulders with both hands, excited and eager; There were also slightly shorter youths who couldn't help but stand aside, looking excitedly at Lin Tie, who had suddenly returned, and muttered: "Zhao Neng's dog came back and said that you were killed by robbers in Baisha County, and the body fell into the water and was not found." said that you died in Baisha County, but he came back with the face and said some ugly things. Brother Huzi couldn't be angry, and knocked out two of the molars of that dog's day with one punch, and Mrs. Qi trusted him so much at the beginning, let him accompany you to Jiangning to catch the exam. For the beating of people, Brother Hu Zi dragged him to the ancestral hall and gave him twenty whips, and he was driven out of the village camp, and the little leader couldn't be a ......."

"What to do with this, what can be better than Xiucai coming back alive! No, Lin Lian is not a Xiucai anymore, we have to change his name to Master Juren," the swarthy young man said, and then grabbed Lin Lian's shoulders and shouted loudly at the pedestrians on the street, "Lin Xiucai is back alive, our Master Juren is back alive!" "The story of Lin Bin's death in Baisha County has long been spread throughout the township, and the dark-skinned young man shouted, and people on the street and in the shops poured over, some of them knew Lin Bin, some only heard of this name and this matter, those who knew Lin Tie came forward to say hello, and those who didn't know were gathered outside to talk about it.

"Ah, he's Lin Tie, ......" "Yes, it's him, he is a prodigy when he is young, he will be a master in the future when he is young...... "If you can get an official and a half-job in the county, it will be even more amazing, the Lin family is talented......" "What kind of family is he from the Lin family?" All came out of five suits, and when the Lin family died, they didn't even get a coffin from the Lin family, and they were buried under a broken straw mat. Or is this kid angry, after the examination of Xiucai, the Lin family let him return to the sect ......"Didn't he say that he squinted his eyes for a drama and killed the water bandits in Baisha County? Why did you come back alive like no one? "I used to be white and fat, but now I am black and thin, but I am more energetic than before, and I probably suffered a lot before I was released after being caught by the bandits......" "How do you know that you didn't escape?"

After all, Lin Tie is not the previous Lin Tie, he has an inextricable sense of estrangement from this era, and he was still a little timid before going ashore, and he didn't know how to play Lin Tie, but under the enthusiasm of his childhood playmates and neighbors, Lin Tie's emotions couldn't help but be infected, and he grabbed the shoulders of the dark-skinned young man and the slightly shorter youth, and said: "You all said that my life is hard, where can I die so easily, but I have also suffered a lot......" These two people are friends of Lin Tie's village, the dark-skinned one is called Zhao Hu, strong and strong, and rough boxing, when he became an adult, he joined the village warrior of Shanglin Village and became a small leader; A slightly shorter young man, his body is thinner, and his appearance is also handsome, his name is Lin Jingzhong, he is the same as Lin Bin, he is the son of the side branch of the Lin family out of five suits, there are four sisters in the family, he is a single seedling, Lin Tie and Zhao Hu are used to calling him Xiao Wu, he studied in the Lin family's Yixue together with Lin Tie in his early years, and he failed to get fame several times, and his family was poor, so he gave up his mind and went to the storehouse of his family to learn to be a bookkeeper.

Lin Lian grabbed Zhao Hu's broad shoulders and asked, "You beat Zhao Neng and become a country warrior, what do you do now?" ”

"I have strength on both arms, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat without food?" In the early winter, Zhao Hu was still wearing single clothes, and tied a straw rope as a belt around his waist, not feeling the slightest chill, and his arms deliberately made force, so that Lin Tie could feel the lumpy muscles on his shoulders, and did not let Lin Tie worry about his livelihood.

"It's not a big deal to beat Zhao Neng's dog's feet, the key is that Brother Huzi didn't hold back when he asked Zhao Neng at home, and the Seventh Lady couldn't plead," Lin Jingzhong said, "He is temporarily working in the warehouse, waiting for the time when the family is angry, and if he says a few soft words, he may be able to go back to ......."

"It's not uncommon to beg me to go back!" Zhao Hu said nonchalantly, "Isn't it good to rely on the strength of your two arms to eat, and you don't need to look at other people's faces?" ”

Lin Tie smiled, the "family" in Lin Jingzhong's mouth refers to the head of the family, Lin Tingxun, not to mention in Shanglin Village, even in Shiliang County and Dongyang Mansion, few people dare to disobey him in person, Zhao Hu beat Zhao Neng in front of Lin Tingxun, and the punishment naturally cannot be escaped.

Zhao Hu became the small leader of the township camp, in addition to two taels of silver per month, he could also be exempted from conscription, two meals of meat every day, two sets of clothes in spring and autumn, and winter clothes. In this era, it is already quite a good livelihood, at least Lin Jingzhong is quite envious of him. Lin Jingzhong learned to be a bookkeeper in the warehouse, he took care of a meal at noon, and he was thankful that he could get one or two pieces of silver every month, but unfortunately he envied Zhao Hu, but he didn't have Zhao Hu's strong physique.

Lin Jingzhong said to Lin Lian: "Lin Lian, don't care if Brother Huzi doesn't care, since you are back, then help him say a few more words in front of the Seventh Lady......"

Lin Tie was cowardly by nature before, Zhao Hu was a little rough, among the three friends, almost the youngest Lin Jingzhong came to get an idea, Lin Tie nodded and agreed: "Of course......"

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Hu said impatiently, and pushed Lin Jingzhong's thin shoulder, "You go and say goodbye to the shopkeeper, let's send Lin Jian back first and get the house back...... Get some more wine and meat at noon, have a good meal, and then go to pick up the fake grave and go to bad luck. ”

Lin Jian didn't know that not only did he set up a mound for him, but the house he lived in before was also occupied by others. He wanted to ask about the situation, but before he could open his mouth, he dragged Zhao Hu out of the crowd.

Zhou Pu and Chen Enze didn't interject, and followed behind with the package to the village. Zhao Hu and Lin Jingzhong didn't see that Zhou Pu, Chen Enze and Lin Jian came back together, walked out of the crowd, and saw that the two of them were still following behind, so they asked Lin Lian: "Who are the two of them?" ”

"I was lucky this time and I really owe it to Brother Zhou......" Lin Tie was just about to tell the lie that had been made up in advance, "Got, got, got", a jujube red horse in front of him galloped over, three or five steps away before holding the reins, looking at the seventh lady Gu Ying's sleeve jade face was full of anger, Lin Tie didn't have time to say goodbye, and he whipped it fiercely.

The whip scraped across his cheek and whipped his shoulder, Lin Jian was wearing a jacket, and his shoulder was still scorching. Everyone was stupid for this incident: Lin Jian came back alive, why did the Seventh Lady rush to the head and whip him? I saw Gu Ying's sleeves rolling off the horse, beating and kicking Lin Jian with a horsewhip, and scolded in his mouth: "You live well, why don't you come back even if you die?" I told you to confuse the fox spirit, and I can't wake you up with a whip! If you really die, how can I be worthy of your mother? ”

Lin Tie was suddenly attacked, although the other party was a beautiful girl, Zhou Pu still moved quickly to roll up his sleeves and wanted to step forward to help snatch the whip from the girl's hand, and when he heard Gu Yingchou crying and scolding to say this, he stood aside with a smile and watched the show, and he couldn't figure out what this beautiful girl who looked a few years older than Lin Tie had to do with Lin Tie.

Lin Tie stood there and let the Seventh Lady beat and kick, although he was not the same Lin Tie before, he could really feel the Seventh Lady's concern for him.

Gu Yingsleeve vented, noticed the two outsiders behind Lin Lian, and also realized that the actions just now were too undignified, and teased the messy hair between the sideburns behind his ears, and asked Lin Lian: "Say, live a good life, why are you willing to die now?" She got up early in the morning and was still dressing up in the room, and when she heard that Lin Tie was back, she was emotional, but she didn't expect anything else, and she led a fast horse and rushed towards the ferry, only then did she realize that she was somewhat shocking, although the Lin family knew that she and Lin Tie were like sisters and brothers, but maybe someone would chew their tongues and talk nonsense behind their backs.

"I met robbers in Baisha County, fell into the water and hugged a log, and I didn't hold out long in the water before I passed out, Brother Zhou and they happened to sail through the mouth of the Baishui River, and I was in a coma for three days after I rescued the boat, and it was already on the waterway from Hailing to Tinghu Lake," Lin Jian slowly told the lie that had been made up in advance, and introduced Zhou Pu to the Seventh Lady Gu Yingsleeve, Zhao Hu, and Lin Jingzhong, "Brother Zhou is just a boatman on that grain ship, and it is already the maximum to leave me on the boat to take care of, I was in a coma on the boat for three days, When I woke up, I was also very weak, and I didn't have any entanglements around me, so I could only follow the boat to Tinghu. Waiting for the grain ship to unload the grain at Tinghu, and then returning to Jiangning with the grain ship, it was delayed for ten months. I met a friend in Jiangning two days ago, so I borrowed a boat to hire a boat and came back......"

"You didn't expect people to bring a letter back to report safety, don't you know that the Lin family also has a warehouse in Hailing? Can't borrow silver from the Lin family warehouse in Jiangning? Gu Yingsleeve asked.

Lin Lian thought to himself, even if Lin Lian was a very useless person before, Gu Yingsleeve didn't care less about him! Regarding Gu Yingsleeve's questioning, he stood there a little embarrassed and remained silent. Although his lies are a little flawed, in Gu Yingsleeve's eyes, Lin Jian is ignorant of the world, and he was a nerd who only knew how to read before, and it was normal for him to be panicked when he encountered a big disaster.

Gu Yingsleeve saw the way Lin Tie asked him, and said with pity: "You guy, you always have to worry about people," and bowed to Zhou Pu, "This Lin Tie, I have regarded him as a brother since I was a child, and his mother is my nurse - Yingchong is here for my dead nurse Xie Zhouye." ”

Zhou Pu was a little clumsy in front of the beautiful girls, Gu Ying's sleeves were saluted, and he couldn't reach out to help others, so he just said humbly: "I still want to trouble Brother Lin, don't thank ......."
