Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 192 Lin Yang

During the few days they lived a comfortable and leisurely life in the mountains, something big happened in the village.

Lin Xi's brother Lin Yang is not dead! He is back alive!

The incident happened on the second day after Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng went up the mountain.

Ye Bei went to the county early in the morning, and Lin Xi followed Ye Yuyang to Linjia Village after breakfast.

I helped with some chores at his mother's house and chatted with her.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi and Ye Bei went to the town again to buy some things that were missing at home.

Sitting on the donkey cart, Lin Xi counted on his fingers the things they wanted to buy.

"Buy a piece of fat pork to make oil, and buy a fish to stew in the evening. Also, there are two bowls. The two bowls at home have cracks, and they are hard to eat..."

Ye Bei gently pinched Lin Xi's face and said, "Okay, I'll buy them when we get there."

"Hey, stop pinching my face. It's become bigger now."

"Okay, okay, I won't pinch you anymore." I won't pinch you anymore.

"Have you seen the flowers in Ci'er's house?"

"I didn't notice. It should have sprouted for several days by now."

"I went to see it today, and the seedlings have grown quite tall. But Brother Ci has a good idea. He divided the flowers he wants to plant into three plots, planting one plot at regular intervals. This way, they won't bloom at the same time, and he can harvest them all."

"It's indeed a good idea."

The two chatted and walked the half-hour journey very quickly.

"Let's go buy a bowl and a spoon first."

There happened to be a grocery store just outside, so they went there to buy things first.

Linxi put a few bowls and spoons into the backpack they brought with them. They put wheat straw at the bottom of the basket when they were at home, so there was no need to worry about the bowls and spoons breaking.

"Is the thirteen spices at home almost gone?"

"It's almost gone. There are only a few spices left from the last purchase. Let's go buy some more."

I went to two spice shops and bought the spices needed for the Thirteen Spice.

"Xi'er, let's go buy some water chestnut cakes. It's better now because there are fewer people in the shop."

"Okay, I haven't eaten his water chestnut cake for a long time."

When they arrived at the pastry shop, there were only two portions of water chestnut cakes left, so they bought both. After all, there were many people in the family and one portion was not enough to share.

They are paying.

Two people were arguing outside the pastry shop.

There were two men of similar stature, one of them was slightly taller and had a pair of round eyes that looked unusually harmonious even on his tough face.

Especially when he makes an expression of aggrieved, it makes people feel soft-hearted.

The other one was slightly shorter and could be considered handsome, except for a green birthmark the size of an irregular fingernail between his eyebrows. His phoenix eyes became narrow and long when he was serious, giving people the feeling that he was difficult to talk to.

The man tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother, can I go with you?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was still looking at him without saying a word, Lin Yang shook his sleeves and said, "A Chao, please."

Meng Chao looked at the silly man in front of him who was acting coquettishly with him, feeling helpless.

Lin Yang glanced at Meng Chao secretly again, thinking he was doing it very covertly.

Meng Chao nodded Lin Yang's head and said, "I'm going to earn money to support the family. How can I support you without money?"

Lin Yang stepped forward and hugged Meng Chao's arm, "Then I will go to work with my brother. I also want to earn money to support you and buy you delicious food and new clothes."

Meng Chao felt distressed as he looked at Lin Yang, who was holding him and smiling innocently, and treating him wholeheartedly.

They met on the battlefield and were assigned to the same battalion and room from the beginning.

They are the same age, Meng Chao was born in January and Lin Yang was born in March. After getting along for a while, Meng Chao took good care of Lin Yang, and Lin Yang followed Meng Chao, calling him brother.

I don’t know when, the relationship between the two of them changed. Maybe when they were eating, they always wanted to give the meat that they had finally eaten to the other person.

Perhaps when he was bandaging the injured person, the usually burly man was being very gentle in his movements, fearing that the other person would feel pain, and if the other person felt pain, his heart would hurt as well.

Or maybe it was when they depended on each other on the battlefield, with their backs to each other, or maybe it was when they tried desperately to push each other away when a sharp sword stabbed at them.

After a year and a half in the military camp, they seemed to be together. There were many men in the military camp who lived together as sworn brothers, and no one said anything.

From then on, they cherished life more and wanted to live with each other.

Another year passed, and I was just a few months away from returning home when something unexpected happened.

This time the enemy's offensive was very strong and their battalion was defeated. Lin Yang protected Meng Chao tightly.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived soon.

The sounds of fighting behind him were far away in his ears, and he could only hear Lin Yang's breathing.

Blood flowed down in streams, and Meng Chao could feel Lin Yang's warm blood flowing into his body.

Meng Chao was so scared for the first time in his life, his voice was shaking, "Ayang, you still have to take me home to meet your parents, you, you can't break your promise."

Lin Yang, with blood still in his mouth, said softly to Meng Chao, "Brother, you have to live well."

"do not want!"

Meng Chao spoke decisively.

Lin Yang no longer had the energy to speak.

Perhaps God was blessing them, as a family in the capital that ran a pharmaceutical business sent them a lot of medicinal materials and also hired dozens of doctors.

This saved their lives.

Meng Chao was also covered with wounds, and half of his body was bandaged with white cloth.

He slept for a whole day and woke up the next morning. When he woke up, he hurried to find Lin Yang.

He didn't dare to think of a bad ending.

I learned from my comrade-in-arms who had woken up a long time ago and was lying on the bed next to me that Lin Yang had also been rescued.

Meng Chao felt relieved a little. He was really too scared that they failed to bring Lin Yang back.

He struggled to support himself and went to Lin Yang. Lin Yang lay there for two days and two nights before waking up. During that time, his breathing was so weak that it seemed as if he could not hold on any longer.

Meng Chao just lay beside the bed, holding his hand and talking to him.

After Lin Yang woke up, his previous memories became very vague and his mind was not as good as before. When asked where his home was, he only remembered that it was in a village with mountains and water. When asked who was in his family and what were their names, he only remembered that there were four people in his family, but he could not remember their names.

But he clearly remembered that he tried his best to protect his lover.

After waking up, his mind was like that of a sensible child of about ten years old.

It would take a year or two for their wounds to heal, and the military camp does not have the time to allow them to recover before going back to the battlefield. It is not known whether some people's wounds can be healed.

They stayed in the military camp for a month to recuperate from their injuries, and then the military camp gave them some silver and let them go.

At that time, Lin Yang was still lying in bed and unable to move, but fortunately Meng Chao did not injure his leg, otherwise they would not be able to find a place to live.

They rented a dilapidated thatched hut in a border town and spent a year recuperating there.

I worked there for more than a year to pay off my debts and the money I borrowed to buy medicine.

Then he left that place and headed southeast.

Meng Chao took the mentally retarded Lin Yang and walked, stopping and starting, towards the direction of the home that Lin Yang had told him about.

Because they were extremely poor when they set out on the journey, if they could find a job, they would usually work there for more than a month, or ten days or so, and then they would leave again.

When winter comes, you need to rent a place to settle down.

There are some places where Lin Yang's intellectual disability is not a problem, but there are some places where people like him are not wanted.

Just like this time, Meng Chao found a job moving goods at the dock. He was moving medicinal herbs, which were relatively precious, so Lin Yang was not needed there.

Meng Chao now really wants to earn more money. After ensuring that the two of them have enough food and clothing, he will find a better doctor to treat Lin Yang's illness.

It’s no problem for Lin Yang to act like a child now.

Meng Chao knew that Lin Yang's home was in a village nearby.

But he didn't dare to ask some questions, for fear that Lin Yang's family would be sad to see him like this, and that Lin Yang's family would not agree with them being together.
