Liu Sanniang nodded.
Lin Jie lowered his head, lie knew that Liu Sanniang had a very happy family. Her parents loved her like a treasure.
Lin Jie was very envious.
His parents and sister doted on him so much. Although they were poor, their life was happy.
However, everything was gone.
Lin Jie felt like his heart was hollow. When he thought about it, he would feel pain and hatred. Could he really walk the right path?
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. Lin Jie’s thoughts were a mess. He looked up and saw Liu Sanniang’s gentle smile. Lin Jie felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to tell Liu Sanniang not to touch his head. This was something only his family could do.
However, he could not bring himself to say it because being touched by her felt warm. He felt the warmth of family from Liu Sanniang, but it was impossible for him to back down so quickly. Lin Jie said, “Even if I leave with you for the time being, it doesn’t mean that I’ve lost. There are so many evils in the world. Even if I don’t do anything, they will still exist.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “I know.”
Lin Jie pursed his lips. “You don’t know. When you know, you’ll know what pain is.”
Liu Sanniang rubbed his head. “What do you like to eat the most? I’ll make it for you when we get back.”
Lin Jie frowned. “I don’t eat.”
From when he was brought back to life, he had never felt hunger even if he did not eat. No matter how delicious the food was, he was never tempted. In any case, he would not die if he did not eat. He did not even know who he was. Liu Sanniang was a god, but was he?
Lin Jie felt that he was not worthy of being a god. When he was in pain, he would want to destroy this world, but Liu Sanniang would not.
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly and said, “My mother’s culinary skills are extremely good. You’ll probably like it.”
Lin Jie was a little annoyed. He had already said that he did not want to eat. He was just following Liu Sanniang for the time being. Liu Sanniang did not want to save his family. He wanted to learn all her abilities and save his family himself.
Lin Jie glanced at Liu Sanniang and quickly pulled back his wandering mind. He had to be careful. He could not let Liu Sanniang discover his motive of following her. Otherwise, she would probably not accept him.
Liu Sanniang only smiled and brought Lin Jie with her.
At the beginning of December, Liu Sanniang brought Lin Jie back to Yong County.
Madam Wei was stunned for a moment before saying gently, “Come in. When you’re not at home, I always dream of you.”
As Madam Wei spoke, her eyes turned red. She looked at Lin Jie and pulled his hand. “What’s your name and how old are you?”
Lin Jie wanted to be cold to Madam Wei because he had never thought of treating the Liu family sincerely. However, when Madam Wei held his hand gently and asked him, he saw love in her eyes. He lowered his head and said, “My name is Lin Jie.”
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. She rubbed his hair and said, “Mother, I’ll take him in as my disciple.”
Madam Wei smiled and said, “That’s good. We’ll be a family from now on.”
Lin Jie frowned. He never wanted to be family with them.
Tang An heard the commotion and came out. She was already pregnant and looked healthy. Lin Jie looked at Tang An’s stomach and looked away.
At night, Madam Wei made a few good dishes. Lin Jie temporarily slept in Liu Erlang’s room. He did not come out to eat. He wanted to use his actions to tell the Liu family that he was not easy to get along with.
After Tang An set up the table, Liu Sanniang helped scoop the rice.
The family sat down. Madam Wei asked, “Why isn’t Jie here to eat?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. Before she could speak, Madam Wei had already stood up and left. “How can he skip meals? Children are still growing. He needs to eat to grow up.”
Madam Wei came to the door and knocked softly. She said gently, “Jie, can you open the door for me?”
Lin Jie was a little annoyed. He did not want to speak, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to say anything cold. He stood up to open the door. Madam Wei said gently, “I thought you were sleeping.”
Lin Jie said gloomily, “No.”
He didn’t have to eat or sleep.
Madam Wei held Lin Jie’s hand and said, “Let’s go and eat. You have to eat more. Otherwise, you won’t be able to grow tall. Your shifu’s two brothers are both very tall. This is all because they ate and slept well. You’re growing. You have to eat well.”
As Madam Wei spoke, she walked. Hearing her nagging, Lin Jie looked up at her.
Madam Wei was wearing a gray cotton shirt and looked very ordinary, giving people a warm feeling.
When they went to the dining room, the bowls and chopsticks had already been set up.
Lin Jie’s seat was beside Liu Sanniang.
Mr. Liu would drink a little. Looking at the dishes with fish and meat, Lin Jie was in a daze.
Tang An said, “Jie, this will be your home from now on. Don’t stand on ceremony. If there is anything you like to eat, tell us.”
Lin Jie had not eaten for a long time. The food was very fragrant. He did not speak and ate slowly.
After dinner, he washed up and returned to his room.
At night, Lin Jie lay on the bed with his eyes wide open.
Madam Wei and Liu Sanniang were in the same room. Liu Sanniang leaned against Madam Wei. Madam Wei said, “Sanniang, have you seen your eldest brother and the others?”
Ever since the cavalry disappeared, the Xia Dynasty had been winning. However, winning did not mean that no one would die. Madam Wei was extremely worried. Was her two sons safe?
Liu Sanniang said gently, “Mother, don’t worry. First Brother and Second Brother are fine.”
Madam Wei smiled. “Sanniang, when the war is over, set a date to hold the wedding.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”
Seeing how obedient she was, Madam Wei felt sweet inside.
When she was at home, Liu Sanniang would teach Lin Jie how to draw talismans and borrow force from heaven and earth.
Lin Jie was puzzled. All was exactly what he wanted Liu Sanniang to do, but when he saw Liu Sanniang teaching him without being wary, he felt a little bad..
