Lin Ruyu also knew that the situation was complicated now, and all she could do was to take care of her family and help Zhu Taishou and General Du defend the city.

Lin Ruyu cleared her thoughts and went back to the inner courtyard to see her mother. Today is the Midyear Festival, Ah Heng and Ah Dong have to participate in the ancestral worship activities of the clan, and they don't have to go to school. At this time, the two little ones had returned from the ancestor worship ceremony, Lin Ruyu thought they would play in the garden, but when they arrived in the backyard, they found that the two little ones were working very hard to tie their horses and practice their fists and feet.

The atmosphere in Xuanzhou City was tense day by day, and Shen Ge, Dafu and his father went out one after another, which made the younger brothers and sisters in the family also nervous and had no intention of playing.

Looking at the beads of sweat dripping down Ah Heng and Ah Dong's faces, Lin Ruyu smiled and said, "After today's practice, my sister will take you to put the river lanterns."

Ah Heng and Ah Dong's eyes lit up, and they nodded vigorously, and their calves, which were trembling, stopped trembling at this time.

When Lin Ruyu arrived at Yitao Courtyard, she saw her mother sitting on the couch, arranging various affairs in the house in an orderly manner, and the housekeepers and daughters-in-law of the house all lowered their hands and listened respectfully.

Her second sister, Lin Rumei, stood behind her mother and listened attentively. After the steward and the steward's daughter-in-law went out, Lin Rumei was still standing next to her, chanting words in her mouth.

Lin Ruyu got closer, only to hear her talking about the division of labor among the housekeepers and daughters-in-law, and when she finished talking, she raised her little head very seriously and said to Lin Ruyu, "Sister, my sister-in-law and I help my aunt and mother do the things in the house, you just have to rest assured to do big things."

Lin Ruyu smiled, "What big deal can I have?"

"Yes, a lot." Lin Rumei counted with her fingers, "Go to the yamen to discuss matters, manage the shop, and learn medical skills."

My sister is also more sensible, Lin Ruyu rubbed her little head, "Okay, I'll leave the affairs of the house to you, let's go put the river lantern after dinner."

Lin Rumei was immediately overjoyed, and ran out like a gust of wind, "I'm going to change my clothes, my sister is waiting for me!"

Fang and Lin Ruyu both laughed, and Fang said, "Call your sister-in-law to go together, she has been bored in the house for several days."

"Okay." Lin Ruyu carefully helped her mother to take a walk in the yard, in the evening, the heat was still there, and today's weather made people feel uncomfortable. But Lin Ruyu cherished this moment.

Because last year today, she was huddled with Dafu in the dilapidated Guanyin Temple in Wusha Town, anxiously worried about her mother and Ah Heng.

"It's been a year." Fang's and his daughter were thinking the same thing, "Jiaojiao will put a few more river lanterns later."

Releasing river lanterns can mourn deceased relatives and bless living relatives and friends.

Lin Ruyu put all kinds of river lanterns into the river, and watched them drift away slowly with the jumping candle flames. Because the world is chaotic, the people have no bottom in their hearts, so whether it is a sacrifice or a river lantern, they are extraordinarily pious, and countless river lanterns float along the flowing water to the endless distance. Lin Ruyu stared at the river lantern, and couldn't help but think of Shen Ge.

On this day last year, she took advantage of Liu Da's scar to set up a bureau and lured away the Matoushan mountain bandits who went to Wusha Town to search for her and Dafu, and then made it easier for Dafu to avoid the dilapidated Guanyin Temple together.

Now she already knew that the ruined temple was Shen Ge's territory, and Shen Ge and his younger brothers knew about it the night she entered, but they didn't drive them away.

Shen Ge......

What are you doing here?

Lin Ruyu squatted by the river, her head resting on her knees, her thoughts stretching like a river lamp, with no end.

Hundreds of miles up the river, Yujiawan outside the city of Chuzhou, the sparse river lanterns float along the flowing water, far less crowded than in Xuanzhou City, but the thoughts and wishes carried by the river lanterns are indeed the same.

A river lamp entangled in water and weeds flickered, and finally dimmed as the candle inside the lamp went out.

"Whoa, whoa." The sound of oars plucking the river came from far and near, and the boat with the canopy did not have lanterns, and the people guarding the shore squinted for a while, still not sure if it was the one they had been waiting for in the middle of the night.

When the ship came to a halt in front of them, the people on the shore folded their hands and made a cricket chirp.

"Goo, goo, goo.

The people on the boat replied three times, and the people in the grass jumped up, "Shen Ge?"

"It's me, catch the cable." Shen Ge said, threw the cable over, and landed accurately in the hands of Xiao Lin, who was waiting on the shore. Shawlin immediately used it, pulling the boat to the shore and fixing it.

Shen Ge entered the cabin and helped out an old man with a middle-aged man, the moonlight illuminating her gray hair. The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Mother, the ground is uneven on the beach, and my son will carry you up."

The old woman did not hesitate and fell on her son's back. After sending them ashore, Shen Ge returned to the cabin, helped out an old man, and whispered, "Ah Weng, let me carry you up, right?"

Shen Ge is not as old as his grandson, how can Old Man Fang let him carry it, "Don't look at Ah Weng's age, his legs and feet are neat, let's go."

"Okay." Shen Ge's voice was full of joy, "Let's go ashore and walk about five miles of mountain road, we can get to the location of the boat, you, grandma and second uncle take the boat down the river, and after you get out of Chuzhou, the Lin family will wait on the shore to pick you up."

The riverside is lush with vegetation, and the breath is full of fresh moisture. Old Man Fang looked at the sparse river lamps on the water, and his heart was a little trance-like. Two hours ago, he was still in the house to explain the future to his youngest son, but at this time he was sent out of the city by his grandson-in-law, and he was going to take a boat to Xuanzhou to reunite with his daughter?

It's like a dream.

"Go'er, are you really not going to go with Ah Weng?" was carried through the woods, and when he arrived at the side of the boat and was about to board the boat, Old Man Fang asked Shen Ge again. No matter how capable he is, he is still a child, Anzhou will be a vicious man at that time, how can Old Man Fang rest assured.

Shen Ge replied resolutely, "Ah Weng, I am now serving in the Right Hou Guard, and if I don't capture Anzhou, we will not return to our hometown."

Good boy, if my Daxia Erlang is like you, why worry about the immortality of Anzhou, why worry about the uncertainty of the world. Old Man An patted Shen Ge on the shoulder, "Grandfather is in Xuanzhou, waiting for you to return safely and victoriously."

Under the moonlight, Shen Ge smiled brightly, "Don't worry, your son-in-law will definitely go back safely." Uncle Quan, my Ah Weng, my grandmother, and my second uncle are here."

Lin Quan, who had just arrived in a hurry, was looking for someone with black eyes, and immediately ran over to greet the second elder of the Fang family and the second uncle of the Fang family. Lin Quan is the steward who has been with Lin Kangnian for many years, and the two elders of the Fang family all recognize him. When I saw him, my heart was more steady.

Seeing that the boat transporting military rations was about to depart, Shen Ge hurriedly asked the Fang family to board the ship, and asked Lin Quan to board the ship with four guards to escort him, "We must send the second elder safely."

"Uncle, don't worry." Lin Quan gave up his hand and helped the old man to get on the boat. Z.br>

When Second Uncle Fang got on the boat, he whispered to Shen Ge, "Where is my eldest brother, you don't have to be too embarrassed."

Shen Ge said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely rescue my eldest uncle."
