New ink fragrance in old times

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed reluctantly. Lin Mo sighed in his heart, this must be a family of four generations living under one roof. It seems that his great cause will have a long and difficult road ahead.

"Yes, you'll be staying for several days this time. Mom has already packed your clothes. Hurry up and get ready."

Han Suniang left the room while speaking.

"Do not……"

Lin Mo was crying in his heart. He hadn't even started his business halfway when he died. How tragic it was.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo stood up reluctantly. Misfortunes never come singly: "Si, why does my hand hurt?"

He looked down and saw that his hand had swelled up without him noticing. It was burning with pain, and was stuck on the edge of his sensitive threshold, neither going up nor down.

Lin Mo deeply understood what it means to "eat it without taste, but throw it away without regret."

Lin Mo tried many methods, but the pain in his hand only got worse.

Lin Siyuan noticed that Lin Mo was a little unnatural, and asked with concern: "Sanlang, what's wrong with your hand?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, I'm fine."

Lin Siyuan: "Did you get pricked?"

Lin Mo smiled sheepishly: "It's okay, I just got pricked a few times by accident."

Lin Siyuan: "Put your hand over here, let me see."

Lin Siyuan carefully helped Lin Mo pick out the thorns in his hand: "Sanlang, next time don't touch the chestnut bag directly with your hands, you know, the thorn bag will get more prickly as it gets older."

Lin Mo nodded: "I understand, second brother."

Lin Siyuan: "If this thorn gets stuck in your hand, you have to pick it out. If it's left there for a long time, it will cause a pustule. Look, there's pus in your hand."

Lin Mo endured the pain and said, "I didn't expect the prick would be so serious."

After Lin Siyuan picked out the last thorn, he tapped Lin Mo's forehead and said, "This is a chestnut thorn. It's small, but it hurts."

The discomfort in his hand dissipated, and Lin Mo said to Lin Siyuan gratefully: "Brother, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Seeing Lin Mo's happy look, Lin Siyuan said, "Okay, Sanlang, I'll keep this a secret for you this time and won't tell Mom."

Having solved a major problem, Lin Mo's mood improved a lot. He was no longer opposed to visiting relatives, and it didn't matter where he stayed.

Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan stood in front of Lin Mo. Their leave of absence was about to end and they had to return to the community school to continue their studies.

Because Lin Mo was about to go out to visit relatives with Old Lady Lin and Lin Xuebao, the two of them came to say goodbye in advance.

"Sanlang, don't forget the homework your brother assigned you." Lin Sixuan gave special instructions.

Lin Siyuan: "Remember to finish it on time. When my brother comes back, he will have to check it."

Lin Mo was still sighing at the love his two brothers showed him a second ago, but at this moment, this deep love was no longer necessary.

At this time, Old Mrs. Lin sat in the center of the main hall, solemnly calling her sons and daughters-in-law together and explaining the household affairs to them one by one.

"Old man, remember what I said just now. You should worry more about the family affairs." Old Mrs. Lin said to Shen Xin earnestly.

Shen Xin nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of it."

"Second brother, you are pregnant, so you have to be careful, okay?"

Old Mrs. Lin gave Han Suniang some advice with concern.

Han Suniang replied meekly, "I understand, mother."

Mrs. Lin looked at Lu Yue, and Lu Yue said first: "Don't worry, mother, I will help my sister-in-law and take good care of the family."

Old Mrs. Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Old Mrs. Lin gave a few more instructions, and after everything was arranged, she took Lin Xuebao and Lin Mo and embarked on their journey.

Lin Mo found that this trip was completely different from usual ones. The three of them all sat on the donkey cart, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He turned to look at Old Mrs. Lin, only to see her take out two copper coins from her purse and gently hand them to the coachman.

This is truly unprecedented.

Lin Mo guessed in his heart, could it be that he was too tired from traveling for the past two days and needed to take a break?

Old Mrs. Lin gently warned, "Sanlang, if you get hungry on the way, tell grandma, okay?"

"Got it, grandma."

Lin Mo responded, but was secretly thinking about building a house.

Although Lin Mo was concerned about these things in his mind, it did not prevent him from appreciating everything around him.

Along the way, the three of them ate the dry food prepared in advance when they were hungry, and drank water when they were thirsty. It was simple and plain.

Lin Mo felt more and more that this trip was very different from previous ones. Not only did he ride on a donkey cart, but he also changed cars three times along the way. This surprised him very much and made him even more curious about his great-grandmother's house.

He thought he would be close to his destination after getting off the last donkey cart, and was secretly happy. However, reality gave him a heavy blow.

After getting off the donkey cart, they continued along the winding mountain path.

At first, Lin Mo could still bear it. After all, his physical strength had improved after a period of hard work.

However, as time went on, the mountain road became more and more rugged, and Lin Mo gradually felt overwhelmed.

Lin Mo felt dizzy, his mouth was dry, he was breathing heavily, and his steps were getting heavier. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Grandma, I... I'm so tired."

Upon hearing the voice, Mrs. Lin and Lin Xuebao immediately stopped and looked back at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Old Mrs. Lin quickly took out the bamboo tube from her backpack and handed it to Lin Mo: "Sanlang, take a rest first and drink some water."

Lin Mo took the bamboo tube, calmed his breathing, and drank from it in big gulps, as if he wanted to wash away all his fatigue with the water.

Lin Xuebao asked him with concern: "Sanlang, let's rest for a while and continue walking after you have recovered your strength."

Lin Mo nodded and looked at Lin Xuebao and Old Lady Lin with gratitude.

Seeing that Lin Mo was almost recovered, Mrs. Lin told the two to continue on their way.

In a short while, Lin Mo felt that his strength was about to run out again. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. When he was about to give up, Lin Xuebao and Old Mrs. Lin noticed Lin Mo's condition.

"Sanlang, let's rest for a while." Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Mo with heartache and said gently.

Lin Mo panted and shook his head: "Grandma, I'm fine, I can still walk."

Lin Xuebao jokingly said, "Sanlang, don't try to be so stubborn. Grandma can't carry you on her back."

Lin Mo stopped again and simply drank some water and ate some dry food.

The three of them walked on the wide road for a while, and then climbed the steep mountain road.

Whenever Lin Mo was about to give up, Lin Xuebao and Old Mrs. Lin would stop, drink some water, rest for a while, and then continue on their way.

Lin Mo swore that he had never walked so many miles in his life. Lin Mo felt that his legs had run away from home.

Lin Mo finally understood the real intention of Mrs. Lin, who usually walked and refused to take a car to the town, suddenly taking a donkey cart.

Is it a change of heart? No, it’s just that the road ahead is difficult.

Lin Mo's legs couldn't stop shaking, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

"Grandma, how long...how long do we have to walk?" Lin Mo's voice was a little hoarse.

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Mo's exhausted appearance and felt distressed.

I could only comfort him by saying, "It's not far. Just hold on a little longer and you'll be there soon."

Lin Mo was moving forward with all his might.
