Lin Cai suddenly froze upon thinking about this. Given how much the three Lin brothers doted on the original owner, if the original owner really wanted their lives, they might actually give them theirs.

Lin Hu felt truly wronged after hearing what the girl said.

"Of course I have to listen to what my little sister says, otherwise what kind of brother would I be!"

"Since you're so obedient, I'll let you go to school. Do you want to go to school?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hu quickly shook his head: "No, no, this won't do. I'm already this old, how can I go to school?"

"Besides, even if I did study, I'm not cut out for it. Little sister, you should let the third brother go."

“The third son has been smart since he was a child. His brain is better than mine and my eldest brother’s. Sending him to school is definitely the right thing to do.”

Lin Cai's lips twitched. Was he so ruthless that he would even betray his own brothers?

However, Lin Cai was just joking and didn't really mean for them to go. After clarifying the situation, Lin Hu said he would go back.

However, not now. He still has some things to finish and can't go back yet, so he has to stay in town for a while longer.

Lin Cai frowned: "What is it now? Is there any danger? Do you need me to stay and help?"

She genuinely wanted to stay and help, but Lin Hu thought to himself that his younger sister had really grown up and knew how to help her older brother.

He smiled and looked at Lin Cai: "No need for your help, little sister. That can be handled. They're just some thugs. Once we drive them out, your second brother will come home."

Lin Cai really wanted to say that he was a hooligan too, but she swallowed the words back. After all, he was her brother, and of course she had to protect him.

After leaving, Lin Cai went to a pastry shop, wanting to know just how many kinds of pastries there were in this era.

But when we got there, we found that there weren't many at all, and most of them were very ordinary things.

She bought a little of one kind of pastry, and after tasting it, she frowned because, apart from being rather dry, the pastries were nothing special.

The TV dramas I watched before were all lies; those melt-in-your-mouth pastries they described simply don't exist.

Lin Cai simply wrapped up the rest. On her way back, she felt something was off, so she quickened her pace.

Sure enough, as she quickened her pace, the footsteps behind her became more and more distinct, and as she quickened her pace, the people behind her also quickened their pace.

Lin Cai didn't turn around and kept walking forward. After walking for a while, she suddenly heard a muffled groan.

Then: "Who did you offend?"

A familiar voice entered her ears, and Lin Cai stopped and turned around to see Gu Zhan dressed in black.

"Who could I possibly offend? I'm a widow who knows nothing, has a bad temper, and lost her husband. Who could I possibly offend?"

Lin Cai didn't know who she had offended or why someone was following her, and it seemed that this person wasn't just following her in a simple way.

She went over to look at the one who was already dead: "Did he have any special markings on him?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Will he jump up and kill me again?

"will not."

"Then I'm not afraid."

"Do you know who he is?"

"do not know."

"Then why did you say that..."

"Isn't this standard procedure?"

Gu Zhan was speechless. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but there were problems in every aspect.

But I don't know what the problem is. Then I think about it again and it seems like there's no problem.

He looked at Lin Cai in front of him. She could find food on her own, knew a lot of medicinal herbs, and made delicious food.

She gets angry that the world is unfair, and she stands alone in an open space shouting loudly. When no one is around, she doesn't act like a woman at all.

Of all the people he had ever met and known, there had never been anyone like her, nor anyone who shared the same thoughts as her.

After Gu Zhan dealt with the man, he dragged him into the woods by the roadside. When he came out, Lin Cai gave him a piece of pastry.

Gu Zhan stared at the pastry without touching it, while Lin Cai waved her hand, saying, "What are you looking at? This is to replenish your energy, don't you want it?"

She was the same person who had just saved her, and then she saw him destroy the evidence. That's why she thought she should eat something to replenish her energy after all the physical labor she had just done.

Gu Zhan shook his hand as well: "Just moved..."

Although the words were not finished, they both understood. Lin Cai looked at his hand and thought about it, agreeing.

The person who just moved in was dirty; they didn't even wash their hands before eating. It was really disgusting.

So Lin Cai handed over the pastries directly: "Here, eat them quickly."

Looking at the pastry in front of his mouth, and then at the hand holding it, Gu Zhan opened his mouth and ate the pastry.

Lin Cai was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what she was doing; in her mind, she was just feeding him a piece of pastry.

But Gu Zhan didn't think that way. In all his life, apart from his mother, the little girl in front of him was the first person to personally feed him pastries.

On the way back, one person became two, and Lin Cai generously shared the pastries in her hand with Gu Zhan.

However, since someone's hands were nowhere to be washed, Lin Cai fed them while they ate.

It wasn't until they arrived at Gu Family Village, and were almost inside, that Gu Zhan shook his head to indicate that he wouldn't eat anymore.

He stopped eating, and Lin Cai didn't say much. She wrapped up the rest and took them to the younger children in her family.

On the other side, not long after Lin Cai left, Lin Bao came looking for him. Before he could even understand what was going on, he was beaten up by his second brother.

Then, with a bruised and swollen face, he stood in the corner, receiving a verbal lecture from his second brother.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the girls? They're all here today, where have you gone?"

"You should be glad they didn't do anything to your little sister. If she had been hurt, I would have skinned you alive."

Lin Bao felt a bit wronged. He had been protecting people well these past few days, and he had come along today, but he went out to take care of some business in the middle of the trip.

When he came back, they were gone. He thought they had already left, but who knew that his little sister would find her way here alone!

"Third brother, did you tell my little sister about this place? Otherwise, how would she have found it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bao jumped up and said, "Second Brother, please don't wrong me!"

“I didn’t tell my little sister anything. I also want to know how she found your place. Don’t try to pin this on me. I won’t take the blame.”

"If you didn't say that, then who did? Could it be...?"
