"Brother, have you seen my mother, wife and children?" Gao Dahu and his two brothers climbed halfway up the mountain, opened the temple door, and saw that the person who opened the door was not a monk, but a man who looked troublesome.

The big man was stunned for a moment and asked politely.

Uncle Ma San shook his head, "No."

Next to the tall tiger, the tall and thin Gao Erhu rolled his eyes twice and walked to the door. He asked confidently, "Brother, where did you come from? Where is my uncle? We three brothers are from Haolianzhai Wantou Village.

, Master Wu Nian in this temple is our uncle."

Uncle Ma Sanshu heard Fang Jiayin say that the old monk in this temple was indeed named Wu Nian. But he looked at the three "nephews" of the monks in front of him and replied calmly, "Master Wu Nian went out to beg for alms and has not returned.

I have been entrusted here to guard the mountain gate for their master and disciple."

Hearing that Wu Nian Old Bald Donkey was not here, Gao Erhu straightened his waist immediately and looked at Uncle Ma Santong up and down with his small eyes, "Is that you?"

Uncle Ma San replied without blushing or out of breath, "This is Mr. Lichen's biological uncle and the head of the Pingshun Escort Agency, Ma San."

"You're lying!" Gao Erhu screamed, "Who doesn't know that Li Chen's little bald donkey was thrown at the gate of the temple? Where did he get his uncle from?"

Uncle Ma Sanshu raised his hand to press the handle of the knife, his face sank, "I didn't hear Master Wu Nian mention that he has three secular nephews."

Gao Erhu was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost didn't sit on the ground. Gao Dahu hurriedly tried to calm him down, "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This brother of mine can't speak. Don't be the same as him. There's nothing we can do."

...My family is gone, and I still hoped that my mother and children could escape and join the master, but I didn't expect... Wuwuwu..."

The seven-foot-tall man talked about his sadness and squatted on the ground holding his head and crying bitterly. The second-year high school student Hu gritted his teeth and his eye circles were red. The youngest and strongest senior high-school student Hu had a dark face and said nothing, and turned sideways to avoid Uncle Ma.

, step into the temple.

Seeing that Uncle Ma did not stop the third brother, the two Gao brothers immediately followed in and walked straight to the backyard. Uncle Ma stopped caring about them, closed the temple gate and returned to the east courtyard, where they met the Fang family of four and their son.

They all stood by the courtyard gate with sticks in their hands and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing?"

Shengzi murmured in a low voice, "Third uncle, they are definitely not the lay nephews of Master Wu Nian."

"I am not the biological uncle of little monk Li Chen."

After Uncle Ma finished speaking, everyone in the yard laughed. Then he explained, "These three are not really evil people at first glance, so letting them live here is not all bad."

The three Gao brothers rushed to the backyard and walked around. They picked a few palm-long cucumbers in the vegetable garden and gnawed them. After walking around in the west courtyard, they returned to the backyard and pried open the lock on the door and entered the house.

Come out again.

"Rumble--"

As the dull thunder sounded, the rain that had been hanging for half a day finally fell. The smoke that had been burning for almost half a day in the west was also suppressed by the rain.

Shengzi took the clothes and shoes hanging in the yard into the kitchen and discussed with Dafu, who was weaving rabbit hutches by the stove, "Brother Dafu, when the rain stops, why don't we go to the forest to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots?"

"I'll go too!" Little A Heng, who was guarding the rabbit, immediately followed.

"What is Ah Heng going to do?" Fang walked in from outside holding a broken oil umbrella.

"Collecting mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots." These are two things that little Ah Heng has never done before, so he was particularly excited. "Mom, I also want to follow the baby brother and the eldest brother."

Fang was surprised, "Are there any bamboo shoots on the mountain this month?"

"There are bamboo shoots, which are sweet and taste better than spring bamboo shoots." Shengzi gestured and told everyone how to follow the bamboo shoots of moso bamboo to find the shoot tips buried in the soil. Finally, he said, "Bamboo shoots are called bamboo shoots here. The ginseng in the bamboo can be dug back to replenish the health of Auntie and Brother Shen."

There were only a few liters of corn, a few liters of thick noodles, beans picked from the garden, eggplants, cucumbers and other seasonal vegetables in the kitchen, which was simply not enough for a family of seven. Fang thought she could hold on, but Shen Ge was injured and lost too much blood. , I have a high fever again, and I really need to take a supplement.

However, there is no rush in this moment.

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "I know a lot about giving birth. Fortunately, you are here, so we can find such delicious food. But it's raining outside right now. Let's go when the weather clears up."

Fang had to discuss with Uncle Ma before deciding to go out to dig bamboo shoots.

Uncle Ma went back to the east room to catch up on his sleep. Fang didn't want to disturb him. He turned around and returned to the door of the east wing, only to see his daughter making gestures with a long knife. Fang was so frightened that she almost fainted. She held on to the door frame and calmed down. Then she coaxed in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, put the knife down quickly. If you get hurt, you'll be in trouble."

Seeing that her mother was frightened, Lin Ruyu put down her weapon and helped her into the house, explaining, "My daughter and her third uncle picked up this knife at the foot of the mountain. My daughter should get familiar with it first in case she needs it in case of emergency."

Shen Ge is sick, his mother is injured, Brother Dafu is naive and easy to deceive, and Shengzi and Aheng are still young and cannot be supported by Uncle Ma alone. Lin Ruyu has to step forward. She looks at the dazzling knife and is afraid, but As long as she holds the hilt of the knife tightly, she will be afraid of others!

"How strong can you be? You have to be familiar with it. Just step away." Fang took a deep breath and raised her hand to grab the handle of the knife.

Lin Ruyu held the handle of the knife in her hand, took two steps back and said with a smile, "The wound on my mother's head is not healed yet, but my daughter can do it, you see."

Lin Ruyu raised the knife with both hands and slashed hard, and the arm-thick wooden stick leaning against the wall was cut into two pieces.

Fang was shocked, "Jiaojiao, where did you get such strength?"

What a good knife! After successfully cutting the wood, Lin Ruyu became more confident, raised her arms and said, "My daughter is born with supernatural powers!"

"You are your mother's child. Doesn't your mother know this?" Fang looked at her daughter's thin arms and felt sad, "Let me try it."

"Be careful, hold the handle of the knife tightly and don't let go." Lin Ruyu handed the knife to her mother and warned her repeatedly.

Of course, her strength is not natural, but she was forced out of it by being an orphan for seventeen years. Because she has congenital heart disease, Lin Ruyu cannot escape when she encounters bad guys, and can only rely on brute force, cleverness and cleverness to win.

Fang encouraged herself, raised her knife high and struck the stick hard. Then, the stick did not break, but the knife got stuck. She raised the knife again, and the stick also left the ground.

Fang...

"Let my daughter do it." Lin Ruyu took the knife and chopped it hard, cutting the stick into two pieces.

Fang's eyes widened in surprise, and she had to admit that her daughter was indeed stronger than her.

The rain continued until dark. After using the medicine, Shen Ge's wound did not get worse. Seeing that he had regained some energy, he offered to stay vigil. Ma Sanshu and others refused to let him go, so tonight, Ma Sanshu Watch the second half of the night, and Fang will watch the first half of the night.

Lin Ruyu originally wanted to stay vigil with her mother, but was severely rejected by her mother.

Because the frogs were making too loud noises, Lin Ruyu couldn't hear anything going on in the yard. Lin Ruyu was worried, so she got up quietly and went to the door to look outside. Her eyes were red.

Under the lantern, in the small courtyard, her mother, who still had a white bandage on her head, was holding a long knife in both hands and repeating the action of chopping the stick with force today over and over again.

The mother fought tooth and nail to protect her child.
