PNB Chapter 215: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain 1
Chapter 215: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain 1
Around midnight, when Lin Ting and the others had all fallen asleep, someone suddenly knocked on the door of Shen's house and shouted loudly,
"Shen Dali, Shen Dali, open the door, open the door quickly..."
Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting woke up at the same time. Lin Ting looked at Shen Wanyi beside him. If you ignore this voice, it will not stop.
"Shen Qingzhou, go out and take a look."
Shen Qingzhou got up, put on a coat, and walked out of the main house. Shen Dali also got up. When they opened the door, they saw Shen Zuxiong in a hurry.
"Uncle, what's going on in the middle of the night?"
Shen Zhuxiong slapped his thigh and said, "Something terrible has happened. Your grandmother is suddenly seriously ill and I'm afraid she's dying. You two should go and see her right away."
My third brother and sister-in-law Lin Ting are also here, so I told them to go and see him too, as this might be the last time we see him.
This happened suddenly in the middle of the night. As soon as Shen Jizu shouted, Shen Zhuxiong went to see. Sure enough, his mother was dying and foaming at the mouth. He was scared to death.
Shen Jizu also asked him to come over and ask Shen Dali to go with him, maybe this really would be the last time they would see each other.
Before she dies, all the past events are just passing clouds, and it would be best for the whole family to go together to see her off for the last time.
"Uncle, my mother has gone back to my grandmother's house. Dad and I will go with you to see her."
Shen Qingzhou and Shen Dali can go and see it themselves. Lin Ting was not feeling well, and Shen Wanyi was at home.
Besides, there was nothing worth her lingering on about Shen's mother. At most, when Shen's mother died, she would give Shen Dali some silver and bury her.
The two followed Shen Zuxiong back to Old Shen's house and found Shen's mother lying on the bed with a pale face. Shen Dali knelt in front of Shen's mother and called her softly.
"Mom, mom, how are you? Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Seeing that she still had a little breath, Shen Dali wanted to carry her to the county to see a doctor.
But before he could carry the person on his back, Xu pushed Shen Dali away.
"What are you doing? Stop it. Mother-in-law is already like this, and you still want to touch her. Shen Dali, are you doing this on purpose?"
Wasn't Shen Dali also anxious? It just so happened that his family had an ox cart, so he could take Shen's mother to the county to see a doctor. Wasn't that just perfect?
"Sister-in-law, Mom is already in this state, there is no time to delay!"
However, when Shen Qingzhou arrived, he found that there were only Xu and Shen Zuxiong's family in the house, but Shen Jizu was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is my uncle? Where did he go?"
Xu's facial muscles twitched in panic, and his eyes dodged for a moment.
"Ji Zu went to the county to ask for a doctor himself. It's nothing like your family. Even when the mother-in-law is so sick, there are still people at home who can sleep."
This means that not all of Shen Qingzhou's family members came, and Xu was a little angry about this.
"Sister-in-law, Qingzhou's mother has returned to Longjing Village."
Shen Dali didn't mention Lin Ting. Anyway, when Lin Ting was busy, he would also live in Wenzhu County.
"Back to Longjing Village? What about Lin Ting?"
"Dad, you should see how grandma is doing."
Shen Qingzhou did not answer Xu's question, and if Xu asked further, it would seem a bit deliberate.
She squatted down, wet her handkerchief, and wiped Shen's mother's face and hands. Shen's mother had just foamed at the mouth, which scared her to death.
In order to lure the people away from the Shen residence, Shen Jizu and Shen Rou did not hesitate to feed Shen's mother the juice of Rhizoma Coptidis. She was afraid that Shen's mother would really die, so she diluted it a little with water.
At this time, Shen's mother finally stopped foaming at the mouth, but she had a fever again. She seemed to be in good health normally, but I didn't expect her to be so weak.
……
Outside the Shen residence, Shen Jizu and Shen Rou set up a high ladder and secretly climbed up the high wall, but they couldn't come down, so they could only slide down from the bamboos planted by Lin Ting.
"Dad, hurry up, go down if you're okay. There's no one in the yard, and Lin Ting isn't at home. Only that bitch Shen Wanyi is at home, and she doesn't dare to come out."
Shen Jizu is a scholar, how could he have done such a thing? He simply didn't dare to go down from such a high place, okay?
"Rou'er, I can't go down..."
Shen Rou felt itchy all over her body and she was almost dying. This Shen Jizu was really useless. Looking at this weak father, she kicked Shen Jizu down with one kick.
"what!"
Shen Jizu rolled down holding the bamboo and screamed in shock, and the sound also woke up Lin Ting.
But Shen Jizu's voice was different from others, and Lin knew who was outside as soon as he heard it.
He secretly got out of bed, lifted one foot of the curtain, and saw Shen Jizu lying in their yard in the moonlight.
And there was Shen Rou's figure on the high wall. Shen Rou grabbed the bamboo and slid down from it.
"Rou'er, I can't move. How can you kick me? I'm your father."
Shen Rou only wants money now and doesn't care about Shen Jizu's identity.
"Hurry up and get up and find something valuable. Gold or silver would be best. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."
In order to coax Shen Rou back to the Lu family, Shen Jizu tried his best.
Lin listened to the conversation between the two people. It seemed that they took Shen Qingzhou and the others away just to rob their house.
Since they dare to do it, Lin Ting will accompany them to have fun.
She secretly lowered a corner of the curtain and turned to go to the ear room.
Shen Rou first went to Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu's room and looked around, but didn't find anything valuable.
She clearly remembered that Lin Ting bought a jade bracelet and a gold hairpin for Yang Xiuxiu, so how come they were gone?
Could it be that Yang Xiuxiu took him back to Longjing Village?
"Bah, you're already so old, and you still love to show off."
The silver that Shen Dali had left over from buying the cow today was still on top of his underwear, so there was really nothing in the room except a few good clothes.
"Dad, did you find the silver?"
Shen Jizu was looking for it. He probably knew that there might be no silver in Yang Xiuxiu's room, but he also remembered that there was something very valuable.
He searched and searched, and finally found what he was looking for.
"Found it. Rou'er, come and take a look. This thing can be exchanged for a lot of silver."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rou hurried over and saw that what Shen Jizu was holding in his hand was a jade belt belonging to Shen Dali.
This belt was also bought for him by Lin Ting. He only wore it once, at the housewarming party. When Shen Jizu saw it at that time, he was so jealous that he went crazy.
Shen Rou snatched the belt from Shen Jizu's hand and put it on the cloth bag she brought.
"Shen Dali doesn't have any valuable things anymore. Let's go to the main house. I remember Lin Ting bought himself a lot of hairpins and head ornaments. Those are the valuable ones."
Shen Jizu was a little intimidated by Lin Ting: "Rou'er, if you sell this jade belt, it will be enough for your medical treatment. How about we forget about Lin Ting's room?"
Shen Rou pulled Shen Jizu over and said, "Since we're here, there's no reason to go back empty-handed. Since you're the one who decides, forget about your request for the Lu family to help you with the official career exam."
"That won't do. Anyway, everything in the Shen family belongs to me. If I pass the imperial examination, Shen Dali will still be the younger brother of the juren. What's wrong with asking for something from them first?"
