Situ Yan's life is busy and calm, Li Dalang has also become accustomed to his identity as a village leader, Erlang not only works in the field in the morning, but also enters the clan school to be a master in the afternoon, which makes him like to read. And San Lang and Shiro have also entered the county school, worshiped the master, the days seem to be peaceful, but they don't want to leap June 15, Situ Yan followed the villagers into the city to catch the market, but encountered the last thing she wanted to see.

On this day, when she entered Henan County, Situ Yan first went to buy some paper, and the four scholars in the family used the fastest paper, and the steward in the county school refused to let her exchange firewood for waste paper, so she had no choice but to use the bought. I went to the grocery store and bought some straw paper, which was a physiological need, so that Situ Yan would not be harsh on herself.

I looked at the time, and saw that it was still early, so I went to sit in the teahouse for a while, and then went to the largest inn in the county near noon, and wanted to retrace the mark left at the beginning, so as not to see Wu Jin.

As soon as the person squatted in front of the cornerstone of the inn, he saw a person flash next to him, and pulled her up, Situ Yan's reflexive backhand grabbed, if she hadn't seen that the person who came was Wu Guo, she would have directly thrown the person to the ground.

"Wu Guo, how could it be you, how is the eldest brother okay?"

"Miss, the minions have found you!" Wu Guo "Goodong! He fell to his knees and wept.

Situ Yan was shocked, Wu Guo was sad from the bottom of her heart, she was afraid that Wu Jin had already had an accident, so she hurriedly pulled people up, first found the nearest teahouse, and sat down, "Wu Guo, don't cry first, what happened to the eldest brother, what's the use of you just crying?" ”

After being reprimanded by Situ Yan, Wu Guofang stopped his tears, and told her all about how they fled from Shuanghe Village, Bo'an County, to the capital, and how Wu Jin was arrested and sentenced to exile to the army, and handed her Li Youzhu's letter to Situ Yan.

The more Situ Yan listened, the more angry she became, the scumbag father of the original owner was not only ruthless to his relatives, but also a brainless person. That Emperor Wei has already run away, and which green onion he left behind. And she is not only angry with Wu De, but even a little angry with Wu Jin, isn't Wu De going to escape, won't he Wu Jin escape by himself? But it's useless to be angry at this time, calculate the time, Wu Jinren has already left Beijing and headed to the northwest, even if she rushes over, it won't help at this time.

I read Li Youzhu's letter carefully, and it was the same as what Wu Guo said, but he told her a little more and asked her to go to Zhuangzi in Shuanghe Village to take out the gold, silver and jewelry buried in the cellar, so that she could keep it for future life.

After reading the letter, Situ Yan asked Wu Guo a few more words, "Then Wu De didn't take some money out to buy off the presiding judge?" ”

"Where is he willing, then Master Wu is a miser, but when he arrives (liao), it's not that he hasn't kept it, and he has let the government go." When Wu Guo mentioned Wu De, he gritted his teeth angrily. Situ Yan is even more angry than Wu Guo, this scumbag father is a nest, and even his own son is miserable now. Yumen Pass, Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, as soon as I heard that place, I knew that it was sparsely populated, and the yellow sand was everywhere, and I didn't have to think about it to know that it must be miserable. And Wu Jin is pampered again, where can he endure this suffering.

Angry, Wu Jin's matter still needs to be helped, after thinking about it, he put his hand into the bamboo basket at his feet, pretending to dig something, but took out a small box from the ring, which contained 1,000 taels of silver, which was obtained from robbing corrupt officials before.

"Wu Guo, there are 1,000 taels of silver here, you bring it back to Beijing and hand it over to Manager Li, you don't have to worry about the eldest young master's affairs, you just take care of those people in Situ Mansion, help the eldest young master guard the courtyard, and I will find a way to deal with my brother's affairs."

"Miss, the eldest young master said, the second courtyard in the lotus flower and the shop in the capital will be left for you as a dowry, you should go back to Beijing with the slaves, right?"

Li Youzhu's letter mentioned that of course Situ Yan knew that the eldest brother had left the shop to herself, but she was bent on rescuing Wu Jin, so those things were still left to Wu Jin, "No, the yard and the shop are kept for my brother, I don't need to, it's important to save people at this time, I don't have time to go back to Beijing with you, you go back first, I'll leave early tomorrow, don't worry, I won't let the eldest young master have an accident." ”

"Miss, this can't be done, this is going to the northwest, the road is far away, and you are on the road alone, now the eldest young master has had an accident, if you have three long and two short, what is the face of the slave to see the first master's mother."

"Wu Guo, think about it, I can escape all the way from Liaodong County, Youzhou, if I am not sure, how can I dare to go to the northwest, so you don't need to worry about my safety, remember to take care of the people in Situ Mansion, take care of the shop, as short as one year, as long as three years, and the eldest young master and I will definitely return to Beijing."

Situ Yan's firmness gave Wu Guo a lot of confidence, but he was still worried, so he had to hold the box containing the silver money and sit on the side and cry. Situ Yan did not persuade, but urged Wu Guo to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and sent Wu Guo away, Situ Yan first went to the county government office to guide the road to Lu'an County in the south, she wanted to get back what belonged to her brother Wu Jin, and then went all the way north to find Wu Jin. After all, Wu Jin was convicted by Emperor Wu, so she couldn't help Wu Jin escape from prison, so she had to arrange for Wu Jin to make meritorious atonements, so as not to break Wu Jin's career.

went to his yard again, entrusted the matter of the shop to Ding Man, and only said that he would leave for a while if he had something to do, and let him take care of the yard and the shop. He did not say exactly what day he would return. Ding Man didn't ask in detail, thinking that the master would come back after leaving for the most months. After telling Ding Man's family, Situ Yan drove back to Fuxiang Village.

She didn't know that when Wu Guo returned to Beijing this time, she only saw the letters left by Li Youzhu. Li Youzhu and Cui Ping had already left Beijing first, and left with the people who escorted Wu Jin. Just to help Wu Jin along the way, let him suffer less crimes. When Wu Guo read the letter and wanted to go back to Henan County to find Situ Yan, she had already left. I had to hide the money given by Situ Yan first, and take care of all the matters in Situ Mansion in the lotus with peace of mind.

Situ Yan, who returned to Fuxiang Village, did not tell Li Dalang about the matter, for fear that the four of them would not let her leave or insist on going with her. I just took out 500 catties of black noodles and 100 catties of bud grain noodles from the ring and stored them in the east room. A small box was placed on the kang again, loaded with three hundred taels of silver, which could ensure that the four brothers had no worries about food and clothing for at least a few years.

He wrote and left a letter, and then took advantage of the night when the four brothers were resting, first drove the mule cart out of the yard, and then bolted the courtyard door, and then turned over from the wall, and took the snow wolf and carrots all the way south to Shuanghe Village, Bo'an County, Yangzhou. In fact, she originally planned to chase Wu Jin directly, but Wu Jin went, if she wanted to save him, she had to use money, and Wu Jin was escorted on the road, and she must have to walk with her feet along the way, not as fast as her in the car, so calculate the time, she can go to Shuanghe Village first to take Wu Jin's things, and at most one and a half months late can catch up with Wu Jin, and let this eldest brother suffer a little, so as not to always be so stupid and filial, and not know how to be flexible. If he had fled, he would not have suffered this sin.

Waiting for the next morning, Li Dalang saw that the little sister didn't get up to make breakfast, and thought that the little sister was tired from entering the city yesterday, so he made breakfast first, and after sending San Lang and Shiro out, he saw that the little sister hadn't gotten up yet, so he was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and he was busy in the east room, and saw that the bedding in the house was neatly folded, except for a few bags of grain and a box on the kang and a letter, how could there be a little sister.

Da Lang called Erlang and read the letter with him first.

Situ Yan was in a hurry, and the letter was not written for a long time, "Brothers, respectfully: Seeing the words as faces, yesterday I entered the city, and met my brother Wu Jin's servant to report, and my brother had an urgent matter to call me back quickly, so I had to leave temporarily, leaving three hundred taels of silver, and giving my brothers peace of mind." And I have left Sizhou, don't go to the capital to look for it. The short is one year, the long is three years, and the little five must return. The tenth day of the seventh month is the eldest brother's birthday, and the fifth child has no time to celebrate the eldest brother's birthday, and I hope the eldest brother will forgive me.

The third and fourth brothers should concentrate on studying, if they forget to study because of their thoughts, the little five will be very uneasy; The second brother has been studying hard recently, as long as he is arrogant and dry, Xiao Wu can rest assured. Although the journey is long, there are loyal servants to protect them, and Xiao Wu has taken the snow wolf and carrots away together, so the brothers can rest assured. When I settle down, I will definitely send a letter to my brothers, and I hope that my brothers will take care of their health, which is the blessing of Xiaowu.

In the past three years, I have been getting along day and night, brother and sister love is deep, Xiao Wu will never dare to forget, no matter where I am, I will pray to the sky to keep my brothers healthy and smooth!

Finally, take care! Little sister Situ Yan respectfully. ”

Situ Yan did not specify where she was going, because she was afraid that the four of them would pursue her. But even so, Li Dalang and Li Erlang still drove the donkey cart all the way to the capital, but there was no way to enter the city, so they had to go back to Fuxiang Village.

When San Lang and Shiro came back in the evening, they learned that their little sister had left their books and left home, and they couldn't help crying, "Big brother, don't you want us anymore?" Shiro asked while crying and pulling his eldest brother.

"No, Xiao Wu also said in the letter, at least one year, at most three years to return." Li Dalang was also at the bottom of his heart when he was asked by Shiro, but he would rather that his little sister didn't lie to them.

"Big brother, my sister's eldest brother is called Wu Jin, why don't you go and inquire and see what happened to him." Although San Lang was sad, he still read the little sister's letter three times, and finally paid more attention than the eldest one.

"Okay, I'll go into the city tomorrow."

"Big brother, if something happens to Xiao Wu, I don't want to live anymore?" Erlang's words were intermittent, and the tears and snot on his face were all mixed together.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Wuxin is kind, and even the gods and Buddhas are blessed. I'm just worried, Xiao Wu is leaving, is he leaving all the money on his body to us, this is three hundred taels, if there is no silver money along the way, what can it be? Li Dalang reprimanded Erlang, but he was more worried in his heart, so he cried with Erlang, and the more the four of them cried, the more sad they became, and even Li Aniu and Li Si were alarmed.

"Da Lang, the girl left the book and left, then there must be something big, maybe she will come back in a few days, don't cry and hurt your body, otherwise the girl will not be in a hurry when she sees it."

"Yes, Da Lang, didn't Xiao Wu say it, as short as a year, as long as three years, she will come back, and when she settles down, she will send you a letter, if you are not at ease at that time, just look for it again." Li Si also helped Li Aniu persuade him.

Even a few aunts came over to persuade them, but the four of them still only knew how to cry, they didn't believe in the little sister, but they were still sad and sad in their hearts, and they were more worried, although the little sister had kung fu and snow wolf to protect her, but they didn't see it with their own eyes, and this heart was not at ease.

When he cried until the son, Xu was tired of crying, and the four of them fell asleep, Li Aniu was afraid that something would happen to the four of them, and the four of them looked at the four of them, and the next day, San Lang and Shiro really had a high fever, and Da Lang and Erlang also fell on the kang with a headache and couldn't get up, so scared that Li Aniu hurriedly went into the city to invite Lang Zhong, and was anxious and worried, and the four of them took medicine for seven days in a row before they were relieved. If it weren't for Situ Yan's good conditioning of the four people's bodies before, I'm afraid that if they were sick this time, at least two of them would not be able to get up.

The villagers of Fuxiang Village also knew that Xiao Wu of the village Zheng's family had left a book and ran away, and it was also thanks to Li Aniu and Li Si who took turns to stay at Li Dalang's house, which kept the curious villagers out of the courtyard. After getting well, Li Dalang suddenly looked like he was ten years old, not only did he talk less, but even his smile was less, in addition to the daily things that Muramasa had to do, he would clean up the East Room every day, and he would sit in the East Room for a while after reading a book at night. Erlang lowered his head every day, in addition to giving lectures to the children, he would also talk a little, and he didn't even squeak much with Li Aniu and Li Si. Although Saburo and Shiro are better, after all, the two of them still have to go to school, so compared to their brothers, the two are just silent, and at night Shiro will take out the noodle man he bought when he fled, and look at it carefully, just like looking at his little sister, which can be regarded as a relief from lovesickness.

This mood was maintained until Situ Yan sent a letter. It's just that Situ Yan, who is still in a hurry, doesn't know anything.
