Lin Xiaoman said: "Exactly, but she had reconciled with Uncle Dashan before, and later she wanted to come back, but Uncle Dashan didn't agree. I heard that she found another man in the city."

Lu Jin nodded, "That's it. His second son stole things in the city and was beaten half to death. She and the man she found later brought a group of people to that house to ask for money, smashed the house to pieces, and then

Two people were injured, so I sent them to dig."

Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized, "No wonder I haven't heard that she went back to the village to ask for money from her eldest son in a few days. It turns out that she asked you to send him to mine."

Thinking of Lu Jin's hobby of sending people to mine, Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Why do you like to send people to mine so much?"

Lu Jin was helpless, "Mining is too hard. As long as the family doesn't really have enough to eat, who would be willing to do that work? We can only sentence those who don't repent. They are not good people. It's okay to send them to be whipped and suffer."

I won’t have a bad conscience.”

Lin Xiaoman thought about it and it was true that the people he judged to be mining were those who either refused to change despite repeated admonishment or were not good people.

Even if they were exiled or sent away, as long as their crimes were not extremely heinous, Lu Jin would not send them to mine.

Like Chen Xiaoshuan's family, they didn't commit any serious crimes, and they just punished them to do white work for them. In fact, it was just to force Chen Yao to do something.

"Then you are quite a weirdo."

Lu Jin no longer felt happy when he heard praises about himself from Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu more than once, "You just say that I am a good person, right?"

"Where are you? I really think you are a good person."

"Really?"

Seeing that Lu Jin was not happy with her compliment at all, he knew that this time he was not complimenting the right person, but Lin Xiaoman didn't know how to praise others. He held it in for a long time before he finally managed to say: "Not only is he nice, but he is also handsome."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin blushed, including his ears and neck, as innocently as a young boy.

Lin Xiaoman felt strange. She didn't expect Lu Jin's reaction to be so cute. Anyway, she had never seen any man blush because he was praised for his handsomeness.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman staring at him with a strange look on his face, Lu Jin cleared his throat, covered up his embarrassment, and praised back: "You are good-looking too."

I thought Lin Xiaoman would blush because of his praise, but unexpectedly Lin Xiaoman smiled happily, "Well, thank you!"

This made Lu Jin a little embarrassed. He was obviously two years older than her, but why did he act like a little daughter-in-law who was being teased?

What Lu Jin didn't know was that Lin Xiaoman had been in contact with the people there for a long time. The people there were not as reserved as the people here. It was normal for them to be praised for their beauty. In that place where everyone was called handsome and beautiful, she

If you can still be so shy, how thin-skinned do you have to be?

I ate too much in the afternoon and didn’t want to eat anymore in the evening, so the fish was kept in a wooden basin.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jin didn't go back to the county office much in the past few days. He wanted to go back and have a look, so he took Qingshu back.

Before leaving, he agreed with Lin Xiaoman that he would come over tomorrow to eat fish head with chopped pepper.

After closing the door, the siblings looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. They were acting like thieves every day and finally managed to get through.

Late at night, Lin Xiaoman, who was sleeping soundly on the big bed in the warehouse, heard a knock on the door outside and thought it was Lu Jin coming back.

Helplessly, I got up and asked in the yard: "Who?"

A delicate female voice came from outside, "It's me, Xiaoman, please open the door and let me in."

Lin Xiaoman was speechless. Xu Yuanru came to look for him this late at night, making them both look like they had something shameful.

Thinking of the killer she recruited that day, Lin Xiaoman was unwilling to open the door, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Yuanru sighed, "I helped you out, why didn't you think of me for my good? Can I still harm you?"

Lin Xiaoman affirmatively said, "Yes!"

Xu Yuanru lost her temper and could only try to persuade her, "Look at this cold weather. I was so cold all the way here. You can't bear to see me get sick from the cold, right?"

"Then you should go back quickly. My bones are not very good, but I can't bear the cold. The house where your cheap dad lived before is still there. Go and light a fire quickly, don't really freeze."

Seeing that she was determined not to open the door, Xu Yuanru angrily slapped the door twice, "Forget it if you don't open the door. I came here this time to tell you something. In the past few winters, there will be barbarian cavalry attacks in the north.

We burned, killed and looted all the way. I can’t remember exactly which year it was. You tell Lu Jin to make full preparations in advance and don’t let the barbarians take advantage of it.”

Xu Yuanru couldn't remember which year it was, but Lin Xiaoman remembered that she had written down the important timeline in the book a long time ago, but she didn't know if she should show it to Lu Jin, or what excuse she would give it to.

She couldn't explain why she knew this before. It would be unworthy to be burned to death as a monster.

This is why Xu Yuanru came to remind herself instead of reminding Lu Jin.

Lu Jin will protect himself, but he will not protect her. If the people become suspicious, Lu Jin will definitely abandon Xu Yuanru.

Lin Xiaoman said: "Then you go and tell the adults, why did you come to me? In case what you said is a lie, after I talked to the adults, the barbarians did not come to attack, are you not harming me?

Are you lying in front of me?"

Xu Yuanru hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "You have been with him, don't you have the consciousness of being a demon concubine who is causing harm to the country?"

Tsk tsk, this description seems to be uneducated at first glance. Lin Xiaoman corrected, "Why don't we do it? I am in a free relationship with him. Don't say it so unpleasantly, I don't like to hear it."

"Is this the time to worry about this? Anyway, one hundred words I said to him are not as important as one word you said, so can't you just believe me once?"

"No!" Lin Xiaoman flatly refused, "Who knows whether what you said is true or whether you are lying to me? If anything happens in the future, you'd better go directly to the adults instead of asking me to pass on the message. Believe it or not.

If so, the adults will make their own judgment."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoman yawned, "It's getting late, you'd better go back to sleep, I have to rest too."

Xu Yuanru pounded the door a few more times, but she only heard Lin Xiaoman's footsteps walking away. She was so angry that she kicked the door hard.

Lin Xiaoman was not as calm as she appeared. She returned to the warehouse and took out a thick notepad from the box, which contained all the information she had found about this era.

Compared with Xu Yuanru's intermittent memories, which come up as soon as they come up, the timeline on the notepad is much clearer. Unfortunately, many things are only written in a few strokes in the history books, so she can't remind her even if she wants to.

But Xu Yuanru wrote several pages about the invasion of the Hu people, and the time was a few years later. At that time, there was a drought in the Hu land, the grass on the grassland dried up, and large areas of cattle and sheep died.
