It is said that after Shi Tianyu rescued Su Hao and Tong Yan, he did not rush back to Beijing, but put these mountain bandits in the prison of the nearest county town. There are quite a lot of mountain bandits, and the prison in the county seat is full.

Tong Yan retold the original thing that the patch man told him before. Shi Tianyu frowned, this is not a trivial matter. The flood in Jiangnan was concealed from the water, and there was no news in the capital, and this would never be something that a few officials from Jiangnan could do, and these refugees went to Beijing and were blocked by officers and soldiers here, and it must have been someone in the capital who instructed the county officials here.

At this time, the county magistrate here was anxious to deal with Shi Tianyu and others, asking for warmth every day, serving with good food and drink, actively cooperating with Shi Tianyu's interrogation work, and personally going down to the prison from time to time to warn the mountain bandits not to talk nonsense and so on. The county magistrate knew that his official hat could not be kept, so he could only hope that Shi Tianyu could let him go and leave his life. However, this was useless, and after Shi Tianyu interrogated the county magistrate, he also took the county magistrate into custody.

Shi Tianyu kindly asked Tong Yan and Su Hao to follow him back to Beijing, and then go to Jiangnan after a period of rest. Su Hao was naturally very willing, but Tong Yan was worried about her grandparents who were alone in Donglin, thanked Shi Tianyu for her concern, and took Shi Tianyu's gift of coiling-yes, the gifted coiling, her own bit of broken silver had already been divided by the man in blue and the patch man-and wanted to continue to Jiangnan.

Su Hao was very helpless, but now he is the only one who can send Tong Yan home, Miao Yu is guarded by Mrs. Shi in the capital, Shi Tianyu will also return to Beijing to restore his life, if he also returns to Beijing, Tong Yan will be alone. If there is no robbery this time, it is okay, with this incident, he is really worried that Tong Yan will go on the road alone, so he can only repair a letter and ask Shi Tianyu to bring to Master Su and Mrs. Su, and he went to the Su family's shop in the county town to pay a sum of money, let people buy a carriage and some daily necessities, and reconvened some doormen with a code, Shi Tianyu found a dart master from the dart bureau to escort him, and after a few days of rest, Su Hao and Tong Yan continued to go south.

The rest of the journey went very smoothly, because the child's face was like an arrow, and he hurried all the way, and in less than half a month, the two had arrived at the post station outside the city in the east.

Tong Yan was in a hurry and wanted to go into the city overnight. Along the way, the closer you get to the border of Jiangnan, the more refugees there are, ragged and skinny, and most of the originally fertile farmland has been covered with silt. The closer he got to the east, the more Tong Yan felt that he had no bottom in his heart, wishing that he could grow wings and fly to his grandparents' courtyard to see if anything had happened to his grandparents.

Su Hao looked at Tong Yan, who was anxious every day, but he looked indifferent, not only decided to rest outside Donglin City for the night, but also did not allow Tong Yan to rush back to Donglin by himself.

In fact, Su Hao also understood Tong Yan's feelings at the moment, but for the sake of insurance, last night he called the people among the guests to go to the village where Tong Yan once lived outside the south gate to inquire about the news. If Tong Yan's maternal grandparents really passed away, it would be better for Tong Yan to be prepared, or to prepare himself for Tong Yan who might collapse at that time.

Of course, these things were all arranged by Tong Yan, Tong Yan didn't know at all, and continued to fight with Su Hao.

Seeing that he couldn't say that he couldn't move Su Hao entered the city tonight, Tong Yan was also deflated and drank gruel on the side. The flood in Jiangnan was so serious that even the post station could only provide some simple dishes and gruel.

Before dawn the next day, Tong Yan got up early to freshen up. Su Hao's room was closed. Su Hao was rewarded last night, Tong Yan's maternal grandparents both survived the flood, but Tong Yan's maternal grandfather fell and injured his leg when he braved the heavy rain to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and now he is lying on the bed and cannot move. Because he only received the news in the middle of the night yesterday, Su Hao was already past the ugly time when he fell asleep, and the worries in his heart had been put down, so he missed this sleep.

After Tong Yan finished grooming, he didn't have the heart to make breakfast, and went straight to Su Hao's room to start hammering the door, yes, Tong Yan used a hammer! Just when the neighbors thought that Tong Yan was going to tear down the door, Su Hao's swollen eyes appeared, Tong Yan didn't stop his hand for a while, and punched Su Hao in the chest, and now, Su Hao's drowsiness was completely awakened.

Su Hao grabbed Tong Yan's fist and squeezed it tightly, Tong Yan hissed and inhaled in pain, and Su Hao didn't let go: "You crazy woman, you're going to murder me early in the morning!" ”

Phew! Say such an unfortunate thing early in the morning. Xiao Er, who was passing by, heard it and said to himself in his heart.

Phew! Who is in the mood to care if you live or die early in the morning! Tong Yan pulled his hand back desperately, and said secretly in his heart.

Phew! Can you two flirt early in the morning and stop arguing with us? Lao Wang's wife next door was dissatisfied.

In short, after the two of them quarreled at the door of the room, Su Hao threw Tong Yan out of the door and washed up by himself.

Annoyed by Tong Yan's nagging, Su Hao even skipped breakfast, and immediately jumped into the carriage with Tong Yan after washing, and headed east.

Tong Yan's place of residence is not in the east of the city, but in a small village about 20 miles south of the east of the city. The two bought some food and simple clothes in the city, and Su Hao also went to the pharmacy to hire a doctor. Although Tong Yan didn't understand Su Hao's intentions, but thinking about it, maybe the doctor who could really use it was not necessarily, so he didn't say much, anyway, it wasn't her money that was spent, so Su Ershao could do whatever he wanted.

The two hurried to the village after noon. Compared to the tragic scenes the two saw on the road, the village seemed to be relatively better. Su Hao looked at the mountain not far away, this village is against the mountain, the terrain is high, the village was not greatly affected when the water crossed, but it was seen that the landslide after the flood caused several families at the foot of the village to suffer heavy losses. Tong Yan's grandfather's small courtyard happened to be outside the village, and it did not suffer too much damage.

Tong Yan almost cried into the house, for fear that when he entered the house, he would see an empty area. Su Hao stood in the courtyard, looking at the place where Tong Yan had stayed since he was a child.

Tong Yan rushed into his grandparents' room, and the door opened with a "bang" sound, which woke up the old lady who was napping on the edge of the bed, looked at the villain in front of her carefully, and left two lines of tears: "Yan'er! ”

Tong Yan looked at the old man in front of him, an old man who looked at least ten years older than when she left, threw herself into the old man's arms and cried hard: "Grandmother! Grandmother! Are you alright? Scared the hell out of me! Wow......"

The crying also woke up another old man who was resting on the bed, who was Tong Yan's maternal grandfather. The old man struggled to get up, only to see the two people who were hugging and crying in front of the bed, and they were also stunned for a long time before they trembled and spit out two words: "Yan ...... Child? ”

Tong Yan raised her head from her grandmother's arms, looked at the old man on the bed with teary eyes, knelt forward to hold the old man's dead hand, and resisted the urge to cry and shouted: "Grandfather...... Maternal grandfather...... It's me, it's Yan'er back......"

My grandfather clenched his tender palm, and he was so excited that he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Tong Yan couldn't help crying anymore, and the old lady was so frightened that she kept calling the old man on the bed, and a room suddenly seemed to be fried. Su Hao heard the movement in the house in the courtyard, and hurriedly took the doctor into the house, helped the old lady who was about to collapse, and took Tong Yan aside, so that the doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse of the old man on the bed.
