Chapter 256

Lin Ruyu also knows that the current situation is complicated, all she can do is to take good care of her family and help Taishou Zhu and General Du to defend the city.

Lin Ruyu cleared her mind and went back to the inner courtyard to meet her mother.Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, Ah Heng and A Dong will participate in the ancestor worship activities in the clan, instead of studying.At this moment, the two little guys had returned from the ancestor worship ceremony. Lin Ruyu thought that they would play in the garden, but when they arrived in the backyard, they found that the two little guys were working hard on horseback riding and boxing.

The atmosphere in Xuanzhou City was tense day by day, Shen Ge, Dafu and father went out one after another, which made the younger brothers and sisters in the family also tense up, and they lost the intention of playing around.

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

Both Ah Heng and A Dong's eyes lit up, and they nodded vigorously, their trembling calves stopped shaking now.

When Lin Ruyu arrived at Yitao Courtyard, she saw her mother sitting on the couch, arranging all the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, and the steward and the steward's wives all bowed their hands and listened respectfully.

Her second younger sister, Lin Rumei, stood behind her mother, listening intently.After the steward and the steward's wives left, Lin Rumei still stood by, muttering something.

When Lin Ruyu approached, she heard her talking about the division of labor among the daughters-in-law in charge of the mansion. After she finished talking, she raised her head very seriously and said to Lin Ruyu, "Sister, sister-in-law and I will help my aunt and sister-in-law with the affairs of the mansion. Mother does it, you just need to rest assured to do big things."

Lin Ruyu smiled, "What can I do?"

"Yes, a lot." Lin Rumei counted on her fingers, "Go to the yamen to discuss affairs, manage shops, and learn medical skills."

The younger sister is also more sensible, Lin Ruyu rubbed her little head, "Okay, I will leave the affairs of the house to you, after dinner, let's go to light the river lanterns."

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

Both Fang Shi and Lin Ruyu laughed, Fang Shi said, "Call your sister-in-law to go with her, she has been bored in the mansion 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 cherishes this moment very much.

Because last year and today, she was huddling with Dafu in the dilapidated Guanyin Temple in Wusha Town, worrying about her mother and Aheng anxiously.

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

Putting the river lanterns can mourn the deceased relatives and bless the living relatives and friends.

Lin Ruyu put all kinds of river lanterns into the river, and watched them drift away slowly with the dancing candlelight.Because the world is in chaos, the people have no idea, so whether it is offering sacrifices or releasing river lanterns, they are all extremely pious. Countless river lanterns float along the flowing water to an endless distance in sight.Lin Ruyu stared at the river lantern, and couldn't help but think of Shen Ge.

Last year today, she used Liu Dabao to set up a trap to lure away the Matou mountain bandits who came to Wusha Town to search for her and Dafu, and then facilitated Dafu to hide in the dilapidated Guanyin Temple.

Now she already knew that the ruined temple was Shen Ge's territory. 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 now?
Lin Ruyu squatted by the river with her head resting on her knees, her longing stretched like a river lamp without end.

Hundreds of miles along the river, Yujiawan outside Mianzhou City, scattered river lanterns float along the flowing water, far less crowded than Xuanzhou City, but the thoughts and wishes carried by the river lanterns are the same.

A river lantern entangled in water plants swayed, and gradually dimmed because the candles in the lantern were extinguished.

"Wow, wow." The sound of the oars plucking the river came from far to near. The boat with a canopy had no lanterns. The people on the shore squinted their eyes for a while, but they were still not quite sure whether they were waiting on the boat. People in the middle of the night.

When the boat stopped in front of them, only three or five feet away, the people on the shore put their hands together and let out the crickets of "chirp, chirp, chirp".

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

"It's me, catch the cable." After Shen Ge said, he threw the cable over, and it fell into the hands of Xiao Lin who was waiting on the shore.Xiao Lin used it immediately, pulled the boat to the shore and fixed it.

Shen Ge entered the cabin, and helped out an old man with a middle-aged man, her gray hair was illuminated by the moonlight.The middle-aged man whispered, "Mother, the beach is uneven, my son will carry you up."

The old woman didn't show her strength and fell on her son's back.After sending them ashore, Shen Ge returned to the cabin, helped out another old man, and said in a low voice, "Ah Weng, let me carry you up?"

Shen Ge is not as old as his grandson, how could Mr. Fang let him carry it on his back, "Don't look at Ah Weng is old, he has quick legs and feet, let's go."

"Okay." Shen Ge's voice was full of joy, "Let's go ashore and walk about five miles of mountain road, and we will be able to get to the location of the water boat. After the state, the Lin family will be waiting on the shore to pick up your two elders."

The vegetation is lush by the river, and the breath is full of fresh water vapor.Mr. Fang looked at the scattered river lanterns on the water, feeling a little dazed.Two hours ago, he was still in the mansion explaining the funeral to his younger son, but now he has been sent out of the city by his grandson-in-law, and he will take a boat to Xuanzhou later to reunite with his daughter?
It was like a dream.

"Ge'er, are you sure you don't want to go with Ah Weng?" Mr. Fang asked Shen Ge again when he was carried through the woods and arrived at the side of the tank boat to get on board.No matter how capable he is, he is still a child. Anzhou is full of vicious people, how can Mr. Fang be at ease.

Shen Ge answered resolutely, "Ah Weng, I am now serving in the Youhouwei. If we don't capture Anzhou, we will never return home."

Good boy, if I, Da Xiaerlang, were like you, why worry about the immortality of Anzhou and the uncertainty of the world.Mr. Fang patted Shen Ge on the shoulder, "Grandfather is in Xuanzhou, waiting for you to return safely and victorious."

Under the moonlight, Shen Ge smiled brightly, "Don't worry, your grandson-in-law will return home safely. Uncle Quan, I, Aunt, grandma, and second uncle are here."

Just arrived in a hurry, Lin Quan, whose eyes were darkened and didn't know where to look for someone, heard the voice, and immediately ran over to greet the second elder and 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 know him.Seeing him made me feel more at ease.

Seeing that the tank boat transporting the military rations was about to leave, Shen Ge hurriedly let Fang's family board the boat, and asked Lin Quan to board the boat with four guards to escort him, "The second elder must be delivered safely."

"Young master, don't worry." Lin Quan clasped his hands and helped Mr. Fang onto the boat.

When Second Uncle Fang got on the boat, he said to Shen Ge in a low voice, "You don't have to make too much trouble with my elder brother."

But Shen Ge said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will definitely rescue Eldest Uncle."
