On the second day, Lu Wan took more than a dozen family members and maids to anxiously search for Shang Yudi's body under the cliff, and searched for a full day, but he never found it.

"Wan'er! There is no need to look for it anymore, there are many beasts and wolves in this mountain, and if you think that the person surnamed Zhou fell down the thousands of feet of cliff in front of him, there is still one breath left, and he is bound to be unable to avoid the attack of the beast! The masked woman in white stood on top of a large rock and said slowly.

Lu Wan said firmly: "No, mother! He would not have died so easily, there was only a little blood on the ground, and his injuries must not be serious, and if we look around for a while, maybe he was rescued by the inhabitants of the nearby area. When Lu Wan spoke, there were already tears in his eyes, and he still held Shang Yu's crossbow in his hand, which Ding Qiqi and others searched for on the edge of the cliff at noon.

To be honest, Lu Wan also knew in her heart that Shang Yu must be more than lucky, but she refused to admit it, she still remembered the scene at that moment on the cliff.

"Heaven is a matchmaker, and the earth is a new house! Xiao Wan, we will become husband and wife, can you blame me? ”

"Why do you blame you thief? It's just that I can become husband and wife with you before I die, even if I don't want to be a ghost. The conversation between Shang Yu and her on the cliff was still echoing in her ears, but at this time, the two were separated by life and death.

"Wan'er! How can you be so emotional about this humble underground, do you know that long before you were born, your mother set up a family affair with the Shen family for you, if it weren't for the fact that this subordinate had protected you all the way, your mother would not have agreed to let you come to find him, since you can't find him at this moment, then go to Suzhou Zhouzhuang with your mother! ”

"Mother, my body has been touched by the person you said, how can I marry my cousin again?" Lu Wan said in a cold voice, although she missed her mother day and night, but after meeting, the woman in white talked about Shang Yu one by one, which made Lu Wan feel a little unhappy.

"What? Have you been tarnished by that man? I'm going to talk to my mother about it, this person is really bold. The woman in white said with a little blue face.

Lu Wan immediately told everything that happened between Shang Yu and her, and when it came to the end, she couldn't help crying bitterly.

"I didn't expect this subordinate to be loyal, he rescued you from trouble at that time, and it was really helpless to use the land method, and then you made it difficult for him in every possible way, and he retaliated, which is also your own fault, but you lost your innocence and reputation because of this, and swore to become husband and wife with him, no matter what, you can't remarry the Shen family, but this underground person named Shang Yu must be dead, if you don't mind, then go back to Emei Mountain with your mother!" The woman in white sighed and said, if Shang Yu didn't die, she would definitely punish Shang Yu severely, but at this time, it seemed that the person was dead, so forget it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wan did lose his innocence, not only kissed Shang Yu several times, but also swore to heaven and earth on the cliff and made a marriage contract, still Lu Wan was already Shang Yudi's wife at this time, so it was naturally impossible to agree to the Shen family's family affairs.

"Mother, shall we look for the wooden fish again? He must have been wounded and waiting for us to save him. Once I find him, I'll go wherever you want, please. Lu Wan stopped crying for a while, and said to her mother in a begging tone.

"You kid, after this day and a night, he hasn't even heard from him at all, more than a dozen maids have been looking for you here for a day, you look at them, they are still looking around, they can't be found even if they search carefully, he must be gone."

"Wan'er, although my mother knows that you are very sad, but last night my mother has stolen into Yongchuan County to re-do the household registration guide for you and all the maids of the family, at this moment the mother only hopes to settle these families and maids to go to Suzhou as soon as possible, the volunteers of Quanzhou Mansion have colluded with the city to inform the state capitals that the Lu clan is suspected of evading taxes, that is, the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Court will also arrest the Lu clan, and Suzhou has just become a city captured by Zhang Shicheng at this time, and the Shen family is also an excellent place for these subordinates."

"If you insist on looking for it, you will have to put your trip on hold! Wan'er, don't you understand what my mother said? The woman in white stretched out her hand to gently wipe away the tears from her daughter's face, and spoke slowly in a soft tone.

"Mother! I see, the wooden fish is dead! When Lu Wan heard her mother say this, she couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of the woman in white and sobbed.

But after crying a few times, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a frightened expression on his face: "Mother, it's not good, is it possible that the Lu family's business has been invaded like this?" If they go ashore in Beicang, they will be in danger, don't you care about it? ”

In her opinion, if Lu Weixuan and the others went ashore at Beicang Port, they would definitely be arrested by the Yuan Court, but she and the woman in white did not know that the Lu fleet had been shipwrecked at sea.

Seeing that her daughter no longer insisted on finding Shang Yu's whereabouts, the woman in white was a little relieved, and when she saw Lu Wan asking about Lu Weixuan, she shook her head and said, "Your father will never be fine if he goes ashore in Beicang." ”

Lu Wan couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "Why?" ”

The woman in white lowered her head and whispered a few words to her daughter in her arms, Lu Wan raised her head and exclaimed, "How is this possible?" It turns out that the port of Beicang has been"

Fifteen miles outside the suburbs of Yongchuan County, an old man and a young man finally stopped because they were too tired and put down a simple stretcher made of wooden branches and rattan that they were carrying.

"Grandma, this kid has no money on him, and he is covered in injuries, and he doesn't even have a guide on him, I really don't know why you want to save him." The young man sat on the ground and gasped, a look of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"Son, this young man fell down from the cliff in the rain, see that he should be a descendant of a big family when he wears clothes, if he is the son of a rich man, he has mountains of gold and silver, your grandmother and I are not rare, you can't learn from your father's snobbish eye back then, learn the kind of bad problem of seeing money and opening the ground! Otherwise, you will die the same death as your father did. The old man glared at the young man with somewhat dazed eyes and said.

The old and the young wore lichens made of burlap, and the big families would only use this burlap as the lining of their bedding, while the poor would have this kind of burlap clothes without patches, which would be considered an excellent thing.

The young man stuck out his tongue, but his eyes looked at the young man on the stretcher.

"Grandma! I wouldn't be like my dad, but I liked a few of the clothes in his package, so do you think I can keep one? The young man pointed to the package placed on the side of the boy's waist on the stretcher.

The old man's eyes widened, but he said abruptly dejectedly: "Son, grandma didn't teach you well!" How can someone else's things be taken? Wouldn't that be a robbery? The boy had several fractures in his body and a wound on his head, and if it weren't for our grandfather and grandson who knew how to heal and brought herbs to save him, the boy would have died long ago. ”

"I want to find some purple Buddha's hand medicine in the mountains in winter, but I encountered heavy rain, if we didn't take shelter from the rain under the cliff bottom stone, we wouldn't have saved him, this is God's will! Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

"Son! There are still two miles to go into the village, so let's rest for a while and then go back to the village! Wei Jiudi's mother-in-law is about to give birth, and grandma has to deliver his mother-in-law tonight! When the boy returned to the village, he had to be splinted, otherwise the fracture would not recover properly! ”

The boy named Yazi agreed after hearing this, but his eyes were still on the side of the boy on the stretcher.

Two days later, in the military camp in the east of Quanzhou, the ten households in the temporary command area entered the military camp with more than 100 cavalry soldiers and more than 10 carts of property.

"Report to the king, this is what happened! Lord Walter and the Hundred Families were killed by the Lu steward. The weapons used are extremely strange, and the little ones still have those crossbow arrows in their hands, please take a look! When the ten households said this, they did not mean to be happy.

"Are you saying that in the end, the steward of the Lu clan who killed my nephew jumped off the cliff, and the second lady of the Lu clan was actually rescued by the ghosts and gods? This is simply ridiculous! You want to escape the sin of being killed and inadequately protected by the chief officer for such reasons, come on! Push him out for me and cut him down, and call the next ten households in! After hearing the words of the ten households kneeling in front of him, Saifuddin "snapped" and violently slammed the table in the camp account, and immediately said angrily.

"My lord, please spare your life, this matter is true! All the soldiers of the dead battalion outside can testify to the small ones. The ten-family immediately shouted loudly.

When Safudin heard this, he straightened his nose and immediately stood up, and said angrily: "Okay, I want to see how many soldiers you have colluded with, come and separate the soldiers of the dead battalion, ask them separately, and then compare what they say, if there is the slightest lie, they will all be pulled out and cut down!" ”

The Lu firm was just one of the targets in Quanzhou for him, but how could he not be annoyed that his nephew (who was actually the son of his fornication with his Portuguese sister-in-law) had died in this seemingly simple pursuit?

A herald immediately obeyed the order and left, and Saifudin turned his head to a hundred households beside him at this time and said: "Ke Hard, you take the place of my nephew Walter's position, immediately go to the Lu Firm, arrest the current land steward, and let the person he selected continue to maintain the operation of the Lu Firm!" ”

A hint of joy immediately flashed in the eyes of this hundred, and he immediately came to Safudin's kneel down to give the order to thank him.

Shang Yu woke up slowly, but found that his body couldn't move at all, and he wanted to make a sound, but he felt that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and even when he opened his eyes, he felt very laborious.

He could only roll his eyes slightly and glance around the room he was in, the room was filled with the smell of Chinese herbs, there were many kinds of herbs Shang Yu could smell, but there were many that he was not familiar with.

The furnishings in the room were very ordinary, and the windows were made of extremely cheap yellow straw, so that the light in the room was not very good, so Shang Yu could not tell what time it was.

"I was so badly wounded that I was saved! But I don't know where it is, the cliff is in the middle of the forest, who saved me in the heavy rain? Shang Yu thought in his heart.

"Granny Ning! You're back! My mother-in-law's stomach doesn't hurt anymore, I want to ask you, what is the reason for this? A somewhat hoarse voice rang out outside.

"Oh! Nineteen! If your mother-in-law doesn't have stomach pain, then you need to wait another three days to give birth to the child, come, mother-in-law will give you a calming medicine, and give it to your mother-in-law, so that she can sleep soundly and give birth to a child smoothly! ”

"Thank you, Granny Ning! It's just that you don't want to send herbs to the Lu shop in the city anymore, I heard that the Yongchuan Lu Pharmacy has been closed by the government, and the other Lu shops have heard that this is the case, and they have also arrested their stewards, and even the people who have been close to them have been arrested, and I don't know what happened. If you go there, you may be recognized by the officers and soldiers as a person with the Lu shop, and it will not be good to be regarded as a member of the party! The man in a hoarse voice continued.

"Lu's firm has been seized? Wasn't the first two days okay? How can this be, this world is so chaotic! The old woman's voice sounded outside.

"I heard that in the area from Hukou Town to Yongchuan, there was a fierce battle between the Lu business convoy and the Quanzhou volunteers, it is said that the volunteers were killed a lot, I heard that there was a goddess fairy on the road to rescue a young lady of the Lu business, I don't know if it's true or not!"

"How can those rumors be believed, take this bag of medicine and go back! It seems that the herbs collected are missing a local medicine store, which is a pity! The old woman's voice came.

Shang Yu was immediately surprised and delighted in his heart after hearing this, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Xiao Wan is not dead?" It sounds like she was rescued by a woman with extremely high martial arts skills! ”

He ignored his injuries and lay on the bed happily thinking about Lu Wan's whereabouts.

"If she is rescued, she will inevitably go north to Suzhou, but I am seriously injured at this time, so I can only recover later and then go on the road to find her!"

At this moment, a young man's surprised voice suddenly came from the door.

"Grandma! The kid you rescued woke up. ”
