Luo Zhuo and Fang Ling went back and began to treat Luo Yu's legs, Luo Yu heard that this snow shadow flower was very difficult to come by, and his heart was very grateful to Luo Zhuo and Fang Ling; Luo Yu saw the way Fang Ling and Luo Zhuo were talking, and he already knew six or seven points about the affection between the two in his heart. He once said to Fang Ling: "Although this snow shadow flower is fire, like Fang Ling's temperament, but the stamen is always cold, and it is like my brother's gentle temperament, so it is best to blend the two." When Fang Ling heard this, her face was red to the root of her ears, and she hurriedly said: "Do teachers also make fun of students like this!" and ran out of the door, but suddenly bumped into Luo Zhuo who came in, Luo Zhuo hurriedly asked: "Didn't it hurt?" Fang Ling looked at him and ran away again, Luo Zhuo looked at Luo Yu in surprise, Luo Yu just smiled and said nothing.

By the middle of November, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also entered the cold season, although there is no flying leaves, but this winter rain is fluttering, and the chill brought by it also penetrates directly into the bones. Ruan Xizhi and the maid Lianyu came all the way from Henan Jiangbei Province, the road was rushing, but the two have been careful and careful, picking the national highway and the avenue, and choosing the best inn to live, so they did not encounter any danger, and also heard a lot of interesting rumors about the country and rivers and lakes along the way, and the life was quite good, and the two of them had entered the Hangzhou Road in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. On this day, the two were eating in the inn, and the two people at the next table were chatting. Xi Zhi wanted to listen, but heard one of the old men say, "The official errand is useless!" Another middle-aged man asked, "How do you say this?" The old man said: "The laborers who have been building the embankment by the river recently have always been rescued, and those officials have no choice but to do it. The middle-aged man said: "Could it be that the heroes of the Yahai Society did it?" The old man said: "Probably not." Because there are very few people who are rescued each time. If it is really the Ganghai Society, then it will not save the laborers of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province!" The middle-aged man said: "I heard that the Ganghai Society and a group of people are fighting in Huguang Province for something! I'm afraid I don't have time to care about this side of the matter!" The old man said: "I can't say, I also heard that the brothers of the Kuhai Society in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province have recently been targeted by the Yuan soldiers, and the leaders of the Kuhai Society will not care! Although they will always be in Huguang, they must also come from Huguang to save them!" Since entering this Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Xi Zhi has frequently heard people say how heroic and righteous the heroes of the Xuhai Society are, and she also understands that this is an anti-Yuan gang organization, and she admires them very much. Lian Yu said in a low voice at this time: "They said that some of the people who were forced to do labor have been rescued, will there be Lu Gongzi among them?" Xi Zhi said: "We don't know if he has come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, or go to the river tomorrow to have a look!"

The next day, Xi Zhi tied her hair high and was dressed in black, and Lian Yu was also dressed as a small girl. After walking for a while, we came to the river. On the riverside in winter, the cold wind blows in gusts, stirring up the slight mist on the river. Many of the laborers stood in the river to build the embankment, and the laborers were in groups of threes and fives, some carrying wood and some laying stones, and many of them were still single, probably without extra clothes when they were caught. Beside these people stood Mongols in thick cotton clothes and trousers, armed with long whips, shouting and scolding the idle laborers.

Xi Zhi's anger rose to her heart, and she said: "It's obviously a normal conscription, but it makes it look like a prisoner doing hard labor." These Mongols are really too deceitful!" But for a while, he didn't know how to rescue them, thinking that if Lu Yincong was like this, it would be miserable enough, so he was very worried.

Xi Zhi looked at the Mongols everywhere, turned to Lianyu and said, "What should I do?" You and I are dressed as a little girl, if you go in, maybe you will be treated as a laborer by the Mongols, and then the two of us will not rescue people, and then we will put ourselves in!" Xi Zhi watched those people standing barefoot in the icy river water to build a dam, shivering with cold, and her heart couldn't bear it for a while. I want to stand up for them, and I know that my power is too small.

At this time, there was a sound of beating gongs and drums on the road next to him, and when he turned around, he saw a group of people holding signs, some beating gongs and drums, and maids following alongside, and four men carrying a red sedan chair came over, which seemed to be a send-off. Xi Zhi didn't have time to think about it, rushed up, and stopped the group.

A woman who looked like a housekeeper who was following walked out and asked, "Who stopped the sedan chair?" Xizhi walked to the woman's side, knowing that she was the only one who could help herself at this time, Ying Ying bowed, and said softly: "Auntie save me!" The woman had already seen that this was a woman disguised as a man, and saw that she was really in trouble, so she asked, "What do you need help with?"

Xi Zhi said: "I am a woman, my fiancé was caught here to do hard labor, and now I can't find him. I don't recognize his appearance, but I know that his name is Lu Yincong, can I invite the eldest lady ......" The man didn't wait for her to finish, and said: "This can't be done, we don't have the courage to come here to ask the official master, you can go quickly." Seeing this, Xi Zhi took out a few banknotes from her arms, offered them with both hands, and said, "Please accept this meaning." I'm not asking you to help me ask for someone, I just hope that you will help me shout to him and shout a few times after this battle, if he comes out, you can help me make peace with the official master, and they will not embarrass this person who sent his relatives; if he doesn't come out, I will admit it. I just went to look for him elsewhere. The woman was still quite hesitant, and she didn't take the paper money that Xi Zhi offered, Xi Zhi was anxious, and Lian Yu came over, looked at Xi Zhi's anxious appearance, and suddenly knelt down for the woman. When the woman saw this, she knew that the two women must be determined to find this person, so she helped Lianyu up. He only took a piece of paper money from Xi Zhi's hand, and said to the person who sent him to his relatives: "After a while, when I walked to the place where the embankment was repaired, everyone shouted loudly to Lu Yincong, shout brighter, go slower, and shout a few more times!" The extra money should be given to the bride. ”

The battle was walking on the main road, and sure enough, it was getting slower and slower, and the people who sent off their relatives began to shout Lu Yincong's name loudly at the group of laborers, and Xizhi and Lianyu watched to see if anyone came out. The embankment stretched for several miles, and the people who sent off the relatives kept shouting, and Xi Zhi saw that the laborers on the side of the embankment were all looking at the team in amazement, and a few of them were stunned, and they were kicked by the Mongolian officer next to them, so they didn't dare to look anymore, and continued to work in hard labor. Lian Yu asked Xi Zhi on the side: "Could it be that Lu Gongzi is here, but he doesn't recognize this battle, and thinks it's a duplicate name, so he doesn't come out?" So the two of them looked at everyone's expressions carefully, refusing to let go of any clues, they hoped that someone would stand up in the crowd and say that they were Lu Yincong.

Although this battle was going very slowly and slowly, I saw that I was about to cross the embankment, and there was still no one among the laborers in front of me who stood up. Xi Zhi walked back and forth and watched, but with the empty river as the background, everything seemed to be so small and vain, and even the laborers no longer looked at that battle. She was extremely disappointed in her heart, but she still did not give up, hoping to see something from the crowd.
