SFS Chapter 293 Love or Not
Chapter 293 Love or Not
Just as I was about to speak, I heard a sound coming from outside.
Upon hearing the voice, the children inside replied in unison, "Yes, Second Uncle/Second Uncle Lin."
The two siblings stopped arguing. One continued teaching, while the other continued reading. Gu Sanhu had just read one page when someone tugged at his clothes.
He looked over and saw Zhang Tiancai, who also looked a bit sickly. Then he heard him say, "Gu Sanhu, can you teach me to read?"
Gu Sanhu realized what was happening and asked in return, "Why do you want to study?"
"I want to learn more words, I don't want to be deceived, and I want to be a scholar like you, is that possible?"
"Of course I can, but I can't teach you. Why don't you go find Grandpa Luo?"
Zhang Tiancai was a little scared. He felt that the old man was a bit fierce, and he didn't dare to talk to him.
“You can read too, can’t you teach me? I only know a little bit, as long as I can recognize my name and some words that I use often, that’s enough.”
Gu Sanhu still refused Zhang Tiancai after hearing this: "If you want to study and write, you should find a teacher. I am a student myself, how can I be your teacher?"
"I only need you to teach me a little bit, I just need to learn a little bit, I don't need much..."
Gu Sanhu still refused to agree, and Zhang Tiancai stopped talking. The three children on one side were playing with some embroidery, while the other two on the other side were reading a book and seemed to be sleeping.
Horses and people were walking forward outside. After a while, it started snowing again. Lin Long looked up at the sky, which was overcast. It seemed that another heavy snow was coming.
He called his second brother over and told him that they needed to hurry and find a place to stay before it got dark and started snowing, otherwise no one would be able to survive the night.
Lin Lao Er told Gu Wen what he had said, and Gu Wen immediately went to tell the village chief.
The village chief looked up at the sky and saw that it was indeed overcast. He then told the people behind him, "Everyone, hold your breath. The weather is about to change. We need to hurry up and leave, or we'll freeze again tonight."
Some people who heard this tried their best, some complained, and some didn't even want to move forward anymore.
But they didn't want to die here, so they could only desperately hold back their last breath and keep walking forward with their legs dangling.
Because they were in a hurry and needed to find a place to stay, the whole group quickened their pace. They walked until dark, carrying torches for quite a while, before finally finding a dilapidated temple.
The village chief sent two people in to take a look first. After they went in, they didn't come back for a long time, and Lin Long realized something was wrong.
Just then, the village chief came over and looked at Lin Long: "Two people from our village just went in, and they haven't come out yet. Do you think they are...?"
"If there's a problem, just go in and take a look, and you'll know, right?"
The person who went in was Lin Hu. He came out not long after he went in, but he looked grumpy and seemed a little unhappy.
He came to Lin Long's side and kicked the snow on the ground: "Those two are fine, but they can't leave now."
"Let's go in, no matter what, we'll have to rest here tonight!"
Others didn't notice, but Lin Cai and her family all saw the problem. There must be something going on inside, otherwise Lin Hu wouldn't have had that expression when he came out.
Upon hearing that they could go in, the people following behind became impatient and helped their families inside.
But as soon as they entered the dilapidated temple and saw the scene inside, they immediately wanted to turn back, and some of them even shouted Lin Hu's name.
"Ah, Lin Hu, are you trying to kill us?"
"With so many people here, are you letting us in because you want us all to die here?"
That's right, when they went in, they saw a lot of people inside, and all of them were acting very strangely.
They stared intently at the person standing at the door, their eyes fixed on him as if he were food.
Those who couldn't wait to go in were instantly frightened when they saw their eyes. Lin Hu was still outside, but he went in as soon as he heard the noise.
"What's all the fuss about? If I really wanted to do something to you, would I have let you in?"
"If I just leave you all out here, none of you will survive the night. Why would I bother luring you all in and then going through the trouble of killing you?"
"If you didn't mean that, then tell me what's going on with them? How are we supposed to stay here with all these people around?"
Lin Hu glanced at the person who had spoken, then turned and walked out: "Take it or leave it, no one's begging you to stay."
"Those who don't want to go in can leave now, and I promise I won't stop you from leaving."
The person who had just spoken was very unhappy after hearing this and wanted to continue making trouble, but the person next to him grabbed his hand and shook his head.
The two of them weren't actually from Gujia Village at all. They had met a relative from Gujia Village along the way and then traveled with them.
However, their relative died on the road not long after they started walking, leaving only the two of them to continue with the group.
Not wanting to mingle with the people inside the dilapidated temple, the two found a corner far away from others. Not long after they sat down, people from outside came in.
The dilapidated temple was very large, and there were several empty rooms on both sides, but the roofs of those rooms were all broken with large holes, while only the main hall was intact.
The two groups separated slightly and stayed in their respective spots. After settling their families, the people from Gujia Village prepared to eat on the spot.
For the past two weeks, they have been doing this: whenever they arrive at a new place to stay, they will get something to eat.
But now they wanted to eat but dared not move, because they were afraid that if they took out their food, it would be snatched away immediately.
The group over there was indeed watching them. After the village chief saw this, he found Gu Wen and said, "Brother Wen, go and ask Boss Lin if we can boil some water for them. Everyone is already cold and hungry. They won't be able to stand drinking hot water."
Gu Wen nodded upon hearing this, but before he could go over, he saw Lin Bao bring in a bowl of clean snow from outside.
Seeing this, Gu Wen knew he didn't need to go and ask. Then I took out one of my own bowls and handed it to my younger brother.
"Go outside and bring in a bowl of snow."
