Chapter 232 is just a story of running away.
When he saw his own face, Lin Bao was completely horrified.
"Lin Hu!!! I'm your own brother, did you have to hit me so hard?"
Lin Bao rushed out of the kitchen and roared at Lin Hu.
Lin Hu picked at his ear: "I had no idea that person was you before I met you."
So when I hit you, I naturally didn't know it was you. Because I didn't know it was you, I hit you. So you can't blame me for this.
That's what Lin Bao understood. Looking at Lin Hu, who showed no remorse, he felt so wronged he almost cried.
Lin Bao didn't suffer for long; that afternoon, the two brothers packed their things and went home.
If they don't go back soon, their elderly parents will definitely lose their temper.
As the two brothers packed their things and prepared to leave, the monkey looked at them pitifully.
Lin Bao turned to look at Lin Hu, wanting to ask him what to do about his brother, but before he could even ask, he heard, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things!"
Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately ran off to pack its things, its speed truly as fast as a monkey's.
"Lin Hu, you wouldn't be thinking of taking him back, would you?"
"Or what? Just leave them here?"
The monkey has no relatives left. He came here all alone, and he always spent holidays with Lin Hu. Now is no exception.
After hearing this, Lin Bao didn't say anything more. He had thought that the monkey also had a family, but it turned out that he didn't.
The three of them walked out of the flower-lined alley, but they encountered someone blocking their way when they were only halfway there.
The other person was holding a large knife and stood three meters away watching them.
"This road is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll."
"Second brother, do you have any money on you?"
Lin Bao looked ahead and asked Lin Hu, who glanced at his younger brother and said, "Just because you have money doesn't mean you have to hand it over to them."
He shook his head: "I want you to hide all the money well, so that it doesn't fall out when we make our move."
Lin Hu was speechless upon hearing this. Was he really that stupid?
The two people on one side were whispering about hiding the money, while the man carrying the big knife, who hadn't heard a thing, turned grim.
"What are you muttering about? Can't you speak a little louder? What, are you afraid we'll hear you?"
"Yes, that's because I'm afraid you'll hear me, so I have to speak quietly."
"Where did you come from, kid? You've got guts to answer me like that."
"I'm from home, what's wrong with that?"
After Lin Bao finished speaking, the people on the other side got angry. Just as they were about to take action, an arrow shot from the side.
He just barely passed by the leader of the group carrying the big sword. If he had taken another step forward, the arrow would definitely be stuck in his head by now.
Five or six burly men were startled; the leader almost fell to the ground as he looked around.
"Who is it? Who is it? Show yourself! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one. What kind of hero resorts to underhanded tactics?"
After he finished speaking, another arrow answered him, this time not just brushing past him, but right in front of him.
The white fletching of the arrow trembled slightly as the arrowhead pierced the ground.
The men carrying the broadswords were terrified. Although they were robbers, they didn't actually want anyone dead.
Moreover, they came down here without Cui Dazhu's knowledge. If he finds out, they will definitely be kicked out.
The people who originally intended to rob him were scared away just like that, and Lin Bao's lips twitched.
He looked in the direction of the woods: "Alright, stop playing around and come out now."
Ershi emerged from the woods with a bow and arrow in hand: "How did Third Uncle know it was me?"
"In our village, besides you, only your master is good at using this thing."
"Your master wouldn't meddle in other people's business, much less travel this far to do so. So besides him, isn't there only you?"
Hearing this, Ershi scratched his hair in embarrassment. Lin Hu, who was standing nearby, saw this and heard the way the younger brother was addressed.
Still harboring some doubts, Lin Hu finally guessed who he was after seeing how the two interacted.
Lin Bao finished asking his question and was about to ask who the person next to him was, but before he could speak, the person next to him left.
He quickly chased after him, calling out, "Second Brother, Second Brother, don't go yet! Wait for me! Don't walk so fast!"
"Second brother, second brother, slow down! Why are you in such a hurry? We can't keep up!"
Lin Hu quickened his pace, and the people behind him followed suit. Soon, the four of them arrived at Gujia Village.
Ershi parted ways with them at the village entrance; they went back to the Lin family, while Ershi went back to the Gu family.
However, when they parted, Lin Bao said he would go to Gu's house the next day.
What he didn't know was that if he went back now, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere tomorrow and would have to spend the whole day in bed.
The next day, Lin Cai did not see Lin Bao as expected. He had originally said that Lin Bao would come over during the New Year and bring some things back with him.
As a married woman, she can only return to her parents' home after the New Year, so she can't bring anything with her!
Seeing that no one came to take the things Lin Cai had prepared, Scarface walked over and picked up the basket.
"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you taking my basket?"
"Aren't these for your parents? Aren't you just waiting for that Lin Bao guy to come and take them?"
"Look at the sky now, it's almost noon. Do you think he can still come over at this time?"
"I know he can't come, but why did you take my basket away?"
Scarface was still walking out when he spoke, and Lin Cai quickly chased after him, hearing that he was going to deliver the basket he was carrying to the Lin family.
Lin Cai immediately stopped and waved to him, "Go, go, hurry up."
"Remember to come back after you go, I'll cook you something delicious."
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she happily went back into the house. Scarface, who was walking ahead, heard what was said behind him and his lips twitched.
He didn't take the items directly to the Lin family; instead, he took them there and handed them to Gu Zhan.
She then told Gu Zhan, "These are nice things that the Lin family girl prepared for her parents. She can't come back today, so she wants you to do it for her."
Gu Zhan looked at the basket of food, said nothing, turned around and went back into the house. When he came out, he had several pieces of dried meat and some fur in his hands.
Scarface handed the basket to Gu Zhan with complete peace of mind, telling him that he was just a runner, a gofer, and that he shouldn't take him seriously.
He spoke very seriously, as if he was afraid of being hit!
