The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 36

After sending the basket full of vegetables back to the east courtyard, listening to the laughter of the children in the courtyard, and feeling the murderous aura of the master in front of him, An Fengchun's hand holding the lantern trembled, and the shadow on the ground also swayed.

"Hmph." An Ziyuan shook his sleeves and returned to the west courtyard.

The lights in the East Wing were brightly lit, and figures were swaying on the window, talking anxiously in low voices about how to reduce Shen Ge's fever.An Ziyuan walked over non-stop, An Fengchun glanced at the figure on the window, then quickly returned, staring at the strange figure, cursing inwardly: You two idiots!Damn, he can't even kill a hairy boy, so why did another person appear!
After bowing to send the son into the east room, An Fengchun kicked An Jiachun who was pretending to be stupid while bowing his head at the door.Whoever provokes the fire will bear it, don't think that I have suffered it on your behalf!
An Jiachun bit the bullet and entered the room, knelt down and pleaded in a low voice, "When the villain just wanted to do something, they came for reinforcements. The villain didn't dare to do it rashly because he was afraid of losing the big one. Please punish me, young master."

After An Jiachun finished speaking, he didn't hear Shizi speak for a long time, and was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fearing that the crown prince would raise his hand and chop him off, An Jiachun said in fear, "Master, please give this villain a chance to make a contribution."

In the East Wing, Ma Sanshu whispered to Shen Ge, "Fang Gangshou has his difficulties, so don't make things difficult for him."

When An Jiachun confronted Shen Ge and Chen Hong, An Juchun rushed out of the house and pointed the knife point at the child. Fang Jiayin saw him and retreated to the kitchen. After finishing the oars, Fang Jiayin went back to Xili room to sleep in silence. , clearly not wanting to get involved in the grievances between Shen Ge and An Ziyuan.

His face was flushed red, and his voice became even hoarse, Shen Ge replied, "Don't worry, third uncle, I understand it in my heart. If it weren't for Fang Gangshou, we wouldn't have escaped from the tree to the mountain so smoothly. He wants to go with An Ziyuan An Ziyuan even promised to give him 200 taels of silver when I went back to my hometown to look for my relatives, I am content with him not being on An Ziyuan's side just now."

The son lowered his head and whispered, "I didn't listen to what my brother said, and ran to the yard on my own initiative to drag my brother back."

"You two are not big, but you are so courageous." Uncle Ma patted the son on the shoulder, pushed Shen Ge to lie down again, and sighed, "Ge Er rest at ease, I and Brother Chen takes turns keeping watch."

Chen Hong, who was sitting on the stool, said, "We want to create the illusion that Shen Ge is dying of illness, so that An Ziyuan thinks that he doesn't need to do anything, and Shen Ge will die. Just in case, neither of us will do anything tonight." Don't go out of this door, get through the night first, and wait until dawn."

In the landlord's room in the east courtyard, Mrs. Fang put her arms around her daughter and asked in a low voice, "Just now in the vegetable garden, what did Jiaojiao say to Mr. An? I think he has been in a bad mood since then."

It's right if it's not good, Lin Ruyu raised the corners of her lips, "He asked his daughter why she was afraid of him, and she said she had no fear of him, only gratitude and respect for her elders, and he got angry."

In the darkness, Fang's face darkened in an instant, but his tone was still gentle, "Jiaojiao is right, he may be thinking of the wife and children in Xia Cai's family, so he is worried, and it has nothing to do with Jiaojiao. Go to sleep, tomorrow morning We still have to look for and gather medicine."

"Well, mother, go to bed quickly. You can recover quickly by sleeping more." Lin Ruyu rubbed her mother's arm with her little head, and closed her eyes reassuringly.

After the tiring daughter fell asleep quickly, Fang got up lightly, bolted the courtyard door, and moved a chair to block the door in the hall. The bowl blocks the sash.

If someone wants to enter the house through the door or window in the middle of the night, the people in the house can hear the movement and wake up.

After doing all this, Fang walked lightly to the bed with the oil lamp in hand, covered Dafu and Aheng with quilts, and then went back to Dongli Room, blew out the oil lamp, and pressed the kitchen knife from the kitchen under the pillow. Close to her daughter and closed her eyes.

Outside the window, the sound of frogs can be heard endlessly, and the flood below the mountain is still rising a little bit.In the flood, some people hugged the big tree exhaustedly, some people knelt on the roof to pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and many drowned people and livestock floated on the water and drifted along the water.

Under the twilight of the stars and the moon, two men in black floated to the foot of the mountain where Lin Ruyu was located in a canoe, threw out a rope with a climbing hook to hook a big tree, and climbed up the mountain.

A few hours later, in the east courtyard of Guanyin Temple, Lin Ruyu opened her eyes, and turned to see her mother who was sleeping outside, still sound asleep.

Looking up at the slightly bright window again, Lin Ruyu dressed lightly and got up, used a handful of fine soil prepared last night, put the five words "My daughter is going to gather medicine" on the table, and moved He opened the chair, went out lightly, picked up the basket, and walked outside the temple.

The forest was very humid after the rain, but Lin Ruyu didn't care about the wet shoes and trouser legs, and stared wide-eyed to find useful medicinal materials in the grass.

Soon, she picked half a basket of herbs.Lin Ruyu was tired and happy at the same time. She stood up straight and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, looking around for yellow cypress trees. She still needed to get some yellow cypress bark for medicine.

Before seeing the yellow cypress tree, Lin Ruyu found two figures flashing in the forest not far from the foot of the mountain, climbing the mountain.Lin Ruyu immediately hid behind the tree, and clenched the hatchet in her hand.

At first glance, the two figures were adult men. Looking at them with their trouser legs tied and cuffs tied, they didn't look like fleeing villagers, but more like bodyguards or Jianghu people.They escaped to the mountains, what are they doing hiding in the woods?
Before Lin Ruyu could figure out how to return to the temple quickly and safely, she heard the shouts of Dafu and Xiao Aheng not far away:
"Second Sister—"

"sister--"

"Second Sister—"

"sister--"

The two people who were climbing up heard the shout and immediately leaned over to hide.

Seeing that their first reaction was to hide, several thoughts flashed in Lin Ruyu's mind. She backed away quietly, until she could not find the two people at the foot of the mountain, and then she clenched her hatchet and responded cheerfully, "I am here—— Picked a lot of herbs—”

After responding, Lin Ruyu ran towards the temple, and soon joined Dafu and Aheng.

The two people in the woods didn't chase after them, that's good, so Lin Ruyu didn't have to cut off their arms and legs in front of Dafu and Ah Heng

Ah Heng rushed forward and hugged Lin Ruyu's leg, "My sister is bad, she ran out without Ah Heng."

Lin Ruyu's heart was pounding, she pretended nothing happened and raised her hand to poke Ah Heng's puffed cheeks, and said with a smile, "'An' Engong and the others are going back to 'Xiacai' later, so my sister wants to Come out early to pick some wild vegetables, so I can go back and make breakfast for them."

"What is sister going to do?" Ah Heng looked at his sister with sparkling eyes.

Lin Ruyu handed the basket to Dafu, smiled and held his younger brother's hand, leading them back, "There are 'a dozen adults' in the temple, I plan to cook two big pots of porridge with wild vegetables first, and then bake a few cakes for 'An' Engong took the five of them to eat on the road. They rowed away, and they had to eat more to gain strength. Although An Engong did not lack silver taels, but now that there is a flood, no matter how much silver he has, he can't buy it. eat..."

Lin Ruyu emphasized that there are more than a dozen adults in the temple, as well as the "five people of An Engong" who "have no shortage of silver", and they are about to leave the temple and go down the mountain to return to "Xiacai", just to let those who are hiding hear clearly.

It wasn't until the three of Lin Ruyu walked safely to the gate of the temple, and there was no movement behind them, that Lin Ruyu relaxed her guard.

Very well, these two people didn't come to arrest her, otherwise they would have rushed forward when they heard that there were ten adults in the temple.

If these two people were sent to search and rescue An Ziyuan, they should show up and follow after hearing what he said.

Now they are lying still in the forest, most of the people who come are not good.That being the case, it would be perfect for Fang An to go out to explore the way from afar.
