Chapter 57: Water Lotus

Shen Ge was also thinking about this problem, it was the same group of people who hunted down Shuzu and An Ziyuan, that is to say, Shuzu and An Ziyuan may know each other, and when Shuzu wakes up, you have to ask him well.

"Stop the shipβ€”"

"Helpβ€”"

"Helpβ€”"

Hearing the shouts for help, the three people in the room turned their heads to look at the window. Shengzi ran over and was about to push open the window, when he heard Uncle Ma shouting, "Don't open the window, beware of fraud." You are guarding your brother here, and I will go over to see if the old man is awake. Don't be afraid, there are dozens of dart masters and guards on the Lin family's ship, and they can protect the ship. ”

"The third uncle should also be more careful." Shen Ge admonished.

After Uncle Ma left, the son who was guarding the window ran back to the bed and whispered, "I heard the sound that someone in the water wanted to get on the boat again, this is the sixth wave today." ”

When the people whose homes were swept away by the flood saw the boat, they would take it as a savior and jump into the water to get on the boat. But how many refugees can these two ships, no matter how big they are?

Shen Ge closed his eyes, "Second Uncle Lin will deal with it properly, let's not talk too much." ”

"Hmm." Thinking of the floating corpses floating on the water, Shengzi twitched his nose, and was glad that their brothers in Wusha Town had left early.

I don't know if the dog's legs are getting better......

"Brother Shen, the medicine is boiled." In the midst of the noise outside the ship, Daifuku's shouts sounded particularly pleasant.

Shengzi hurriedly ran over to open the door and took the medicine bowl in Dafuku's hand, "Brother Dafuku, come in." ”

Dafu entered the house and pulled a small stool, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge didn't ask why he had already drunk the medicine just now, and now he had another bowl, and he brought it over and dried it in one gulp, before he said, "Dafu is busy, I'm fine here." ”

Daifuku sat still, "The eldest lady asked me to guard you." ”

Dafu is a straight man who admits death, and listens to Mrs. Lin and the second sister the most, since Mrs. Lin asked him to come, he won't leave no matter what he says. Shen Ge asked, "Are your aunt and second sister okay?" ”

Daifuku nodded, "Okay." ”

The two stared at each other in silence, and when the shouting outside stopped, Shen Ge asked curiously, "Dafu, what were you thinking when you were shooting arrows?" ”

Daifuku thought carefully for a long time and said truthfully, "Archery." ”

"Hehe......"

Shen Ge laughed happily, "You're right, if you don't think about archery when you shoot arrows, what else can you think." ”

"The second master ordered someone to throw down a few bags of dry food for the people in the water, and we can't get on the boat anymore." The maid Yunjuan told Lin Ruyu about the situation outside.

Yunjuan and Lan Que, who died at the foot of Matou Mountain, are Lin Ruyu's personal maids. When Lin Ruyu went out of the house with her mother, she only brought the nurse and Lan Que with her, and when Lin Erye got the news and came out to look for someone, he brought Yunjuan with him.

The area affected by the flood was very large, and they only had two boats, and they were limited in the number of people who could help them. The second uncle threw dry food to the people in the water, and he did his best. Lin Ruyu continued to ask about the situation at home, "When you came out, what did you say to the outside?" ”

Yun Juan replied, "After the second master received the news that the second steward sent someone to send back, he immediately looked for someone to find a ship, using the name of transporting medicinal materials. ”

In her memory, Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes and asked, "Is my aunt in our house?" ”

Yun Juan replied, "Grandma has been back for three days, and Young Master Zhisheng and Miss Yuzhen are also there, and Miss Yuzhen lives in the Yuanhua Courtyard. ”

Coriander is its own yard, and sure enough...... It's exactly the same as the previous life, Lin Ruyu's eyes are cold.

Her grandfather had two daughters, one and three daughters, both of whom were married in Xuanzhou. When my grandfather was sick in bed, he gave the seal of the family to his mother. Since then, the eldest aunt, who has always looked at her unpleasantly, took the initiative to propose that the two families be close to each other, and let Lin Ruyu marry into the Zhang family and be her daughter-in-law.

What kind of calculation she made, her mother knew it clearly, so she put the matter on hold on the grounds that she wanted to wait for her father to return from the sea, and then went out of the Matou Mountain matter.

In the last life, after Lin Ruyu was brought back to Xuanzhou by An Ziyuan, the eldest aunt used many subordinate means to force her to marry Zhang Zhisheng, but they were An Ziyuan's opponents.

Then, I don't know what method An Ziyuan used to win over his aunt's family, and let his aunt and Zhang Yuzhen help An Ziyuan deceive himself.

Lin Ruyu has been thinking about it repeatedly these days, and feels that the person who gave her mother chronic poison in her last life is likely to be her aunt or her good daughter Zhang Yuzhen.

I only hate myself for being too stupid and blind in my last life, and I can't see through anything.

This time, without An Ziyuan, she wants to see how her aunt's family will be.

Lin Ruyu instructed, "My mother hasn't rested well in the past few days, you ask Aunt Quan to go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available, and make a cup of nourishing soup for my mother." ”

Aunt Quan's name is Qiuxiu, she is Fang's dowry maid, and was pointed out by Fang's to Lin Quan, the right-hand man next to her husband, as his wife, and became the most powerful housekeeper and daughter-in-law around Fang's.

"Yes." Yun Juan responded, looked at the girl's haggard appearance, and said distressedly, "Madame has instructed the kitchen to give you steamed wolfberry bird's nest soup, and the girl should also make up for it, the dyeing on the girl's face is ......."

Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched the birthmark on her right eye, "This is not in a hurry, I'll talk about it when I return home." Uncle Zu and Shen Ge also go and tell them to take care of it. ”

In the evening of that day, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and the rain fell again after less than half a day.

Listening to the rain on the boat and listening to the rain in the temple are completely two feelings, Lin Ruyu gently pushed the window open a crack and looked out. This piece of river is quite clean, and the rapidly falling raindrops smash out water lotus flowers on the river surface, which is extremely beautiful.

Staring at the water lotus for a while, Lin Ruyu raised her eyes and looked into the distance.

After passing through this mountain, it is time to go to Xia Cai.

If there was no rain and no flood floats, a big ship like the Lin family could sail at night, but now it can't. So tonight, does the big ship have to dock at the dock in Ha Cai and spend the night?

Lin Ruyu thought for a moment and decided to discuss it with her mother and second uncle.

Second Uncle Lin said, "I have to spend the night in Xia Cai, although Xia Cai is also bad, but the county yamen is still there, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the wharf, which is much safer than in the wilderness." ”

Lin Ruyu asked, "Second Uncle rested at the dock in Xia Cai last night?" ”

Second Uncle Lin shook his head with a smile, "I'm in a hurry to find you, and I didn't stop at night after Xia Cai bought some food, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get to the bottom of Guanyin Temple Mountain this morning." ”

Lin Ruyu was moved into starry eyes, "Second uncle has worked hard." ”

Second Uncle Lin grinned, "I know that the second uncle is hard, just wait for your father to come back, and Jiaojiao will say a few kind words for the second uncle in front of him." ”

Lin Ruyu straightened up her waist, "Second uncle, don't worry, this matter is on me, keep my father and respond to the second uncle's needs!" ”

When Second Uncle Lin heard this, he smiled, "Sure enough, Jiaojiao knows the second uncle's mind best." ”

Fang said with a smile, "Tonight, let's spend the night at Xia Cai Pier." ”

Lin Ruyu and her mother smiled when they met, and their mother and daughter thought of going together. If An Ziyuan wants to find trouble, it is much safer for them to stop at Xia Cai Wharf than to stop in the field or rush overnight.

It just so happened that they could also send someone to inquire about An Ziyuan's details.
