Lin Nanyue seemed to have been paying attention to the movements on the observation deck. As soon as Lin Qiuer and Lin Youniang appeared, he immediately stood up and walked over.

He always felt that there was something strange about his mother and little sister, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Is everything okay?" Lin Nanyue asked stiffly. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately received a death stare from her mother.

"What do you think will happen?" Lin Youniang's tone was slightly displeased.

"Mother, please stop talking about my younger sister. You don't know that when I found her, she was covered in blood. I almost thought she...she was dead." Lin Nanyue's original intention was to fight for her younger sister's chance not to be punished by Mother, but as soon as the words came out, it seemed to hit Lin Youniang's sore spot.

After hearing this, Lin Youniang's face turned pale again and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Lin Qiu'er saw through Lin Nanyue's intentions, but she also didn't want Lin Youniang, who had been sad for a long time, to be overwhelmed by sadness again.

So I interrupted him and changed the subject, "Mother, I rescued a young man in the mountains yesterday. He said his name was Gu Anqing. Fourth brother placed him and his servants in a wooden house outside the village."

Lin Youniang was distracted and asked, "What happened?"

"There were three men in black chasing him, but his martial arts skills were so strong that he was able to kill all the people chasing him even though he was poisoned. I found this brand from the men in black chasing him."

When Lin Qiu'er said this, she walked to the backpack, bent over, took out the wooden sign she had searched from the man in black, and spread it in her palm for Lin Youniang to see.

Who would have thought that the moment Lin Youniang saw the wooden sign, her face changed drastically. She reached out to snatch the wooden sign from Lin Qiuer's hand, turned it over several times, and finally carefully examined the edge of the wooden sign for a long time.

Lin Qiu'er and Lin Nanyue looked at each other, not knowing the reason, and could only wait quietly.

After a while, hatred emerged on Lin Youniang's face. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Your father was killed that year. I followed the clues and investigated for three or four years before I caught two people. I didn't expect that they actually committed suicide by taking poison. At that time, a wooden sign was found on one of them. I just thought it was similar, but I didn't expect that even the words engraved on the edge were the same."

Is there really such a coincidence?

Lin Qiuer was doubtful and frowned slightly.

"Could it be just a similarity?" Lin Nanyue didn't quite believe that such a coincidence would happen, so she asked back.

Lin Youniang shook her head firmly, clenched her palm, and took the entire wooden sign into her palm, "I'm still keeping that wooden sign, so as not to miss any clues. Let's go home and find that wooden sign, and put it together with this one, and you will definitely know it."

Lin Qiu'er saw that her expression was serious and did not seem fake, and thought to herself. If these two wooden signs really came from the same organization, then did they kill people for money or did their masters behind the scenes have a deep hostility towards them?

An enemy who hides in the dark and does bad things secretly. Keeping them alive is the biggest threat to your own safety.

The mother and her two children each had their own thoughts, but they all walked towards home.

Leaving the viewing platform, the closer we get to the houses where people live in the village, the more people there are. There are old people doing housework, children running around and playing, and young men and women working in the fields.

Suddenly, a little girl who looked about five or six years old ran over, hugged Lin Qiuer's thighs, and asked in a sweet and innocent voice, "Sister Qiuer, did you bring back any delicious food?"

Lin Qiu'er was stunned, but then she guessed that he must have made an agreement with the little girl before to bring her some delicious food when he returned.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qiu'er fell down this time, so I didn't have time to bring you any delicious food."

"Oh, is Sister Qiuer in pain?" When the little girl heard Lin Qiuer's words, she naturally asked out of concern.

Lin Qiu'er leaned over, touched the little girl's head, and comforted her, "Sister Qiu'er, it's okay. Next time I go out, I will definitely bring you something delicious."

The little girl nodded, "Then you must remember it."

After saying that, he was pulled away by his playmates who came rushing over.

Lin Nanyue was not very old, but he always avoided the little kids in the village. He hated the little brats who cried so loudly. He really admired his little sister's good popularity among these little kids.

"The children in the village are usually taken care of by Qiu'er when they fall and get sick. That's why they have such a fondness for you and are so close to you. But you still have to be stricter when it's time to be strict," Lin Youniang said earnestly.

Lin Qiu'er heard the hidden meaning of Lin Youniang's words and nodded with a smile, "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. Let them spend the rest of their happy time."

The three of them walked and chatted, and when they returned home, they saw a young woman with a heroic appearance coming out of the inner room. Seeing them coming back, she immediately showed a happy expression, "Qiu'er is back. I'm glad she's okay."

As soon as the voice fell, a little meat ball rushed out from the inner room again, and rushed straight to Lin Qiuer. When it got in front of her, it jumped and hung on Lin Qiuer, "Dudu, Dudu is back."

Lin Qiuer felt the extra weight on her body and looked down at the little baby hanging on her body. She had a chubby face, and her skin was not as white and tender as other children she had seen before, but a healthy wheat color. She was wearing a blue and white double-breasted shorts, and had many small braids on her head.

A tender feeling welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but stretch out her free hand and gently pinch the little baby's chubby face. The feeling was so good that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Woo woo, Dudu bullied me again." The smile on the little baby's face disappeared instantly, turning into a bitter face, and his two chubby hands protected his face.

"You are wrong. I am doing this because I like you." Lin Qiuer corrected the little girl.

"Do others bully Baoer just because they like him?" The little kid looked confused.

Lin Qiuer said seriously, "If someone bullies Baoer, come back and tell me, and I'll beat him up."

Lin Baoer pointed her finger at Lin Nanyue who was standing aside, "Fourth Uncle, pinch Baoer."

Lin Nanyue looked incredulous. When did he pinch Baoer?

"It's not good to lie to your family." Lin Qiuer took back Lin Baoer's fat fingers with her hand and said seriously.

"Then can others do it?" Although Lin Baoer is young, she loves to get to the bottom of things.

Lin Qiu'er was surprised at the child's persistence, and secretly admired that the child would be amazing when he grew up. Thinking of this, she didn't want to just perfunctorily answer him. "Now you can't lie to your family, but you have to consider the situation when it comes to outsiders. How do I consider the situation? I'll tell you after I think about it, okay?"

"Okay then. Dudu, don't forget it." Lin Baoer agreed generously.

The young woman saw that the two had almost finished their conversation, so she came forward and took Lin Baoer away from Lin Qiuer's arms, "Baoer, come down. Auntie is very tired and needs to rest."

After saying that, he put Lin Baoer on the ground and said, "Mother, I've been warming the food in the kitchen. Do you want me to bring it out now?"

Lin Youniang looked calm, completely different from when she was talking to Lin Qiuer just now, "Okay. Nanyue, go help your sister-in-law too."
