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

Chapter 40
Seeing the bamboo hairpin pulled out by Lin Ruyu, Ma Sanshu also sensed something was wrong, "This hairpin..."

"Maybe it's hollow." Lin Ruyu raised her hand and pulled out the bamboo hairpin from the head of another corpse whose clothes had been stripped off. My mother had an inconspicuous hollow silver hairpin that could be used to hide things, so It was Lin Ruyu who noticed the wooden hairpins on the heads of the two corpses.

The more inconspicuous something is, the more likely it is to hide something good.

Picking up two bamboo leaves that had been washed by the rain from the stone, and wiped the bamboo hairpin clean, Lin Ruyu looked at the bamboo hairpin carefully and held both ends of the hairpin with both hands.

"Beware of fraud." Uncle Ma raised his hand, "Let uncle come."

"Third Uncle, be careful." Lin Ruyu didn't try to be brave, and handed the bamboo hairpin to Ma Third Uncle.

Be cautious in everything, the creed that Ma Sanshu has always adhered to for many years.He found a tree nearly one arm thick, hugged it in his arms to shield his body, held both ends of the bamboo hairpin with both hands, and pulled out the hairpin in two.

After waiting for a while, he found that there was no hidden weapon such as poisonous gas or poisonous needles shot out, so Ma Sanshu took the bamboo hairpin back for inspection, and then his eyes lit up, "Girl, it looks like medicine for knife sores!"

"Really?" Lin Ruyu took it over and sniffed lightly, pleasantly surprised, "It smells of rosin and camphor, it should be medicine for golden sores!"

Uncle Ma opened the second bamboo hairpin in the same way, and found that it was also ointment, and grinned, "It's all right now, Ge Er's injury is cured."

This is really in line with the phrase "there is no unparalleled road", Lin Ruyu also smiled happily, "Let's..."

"Someone is coming up!" Ma Sanshu pulled Lin Ruyu behind him, and looked out of the forest vigilantly.

Lin Ruyu put away the bamboo hairpin, looked out with her head, and found three extremely embarrassed men crawled out of the water and onto the shore with hands and feet.

"Looking at their attire, they should be local farmers. Let's keep our voices down. Find the weapons and go back to defend the East Yard." Ma Sanshu lowered his voice, and as he spoke, he took off the shoes and socks of Sanju's corpse, and used thread Tie it up, look around and find out, "Over there!"

Uncle Ma got up and went to dig a piece of soil that had obviously been turned over.

Lin Ruyu was just about to follow up with her shoes, but found something flashed on the calf of a dead body.

Holding her breath, she stepped forward again, rolled up the corpse's trouser legs, and found a black-purple spot the size of a fist on his calf, and in the center of this black-purple spot was a nail pierced into the flesh, shining with silver light. hidden weapon.

Could this be An Ziyuan's method of killing?
Lin Ruyu called in a low voice to Uncle Ma who had already dug out two knives and one sword, borrowed a long knife, and wanted to dig out the hidden weapon to see what happened.

How could Uncle Ma let her do it, and take out the hidden weapon himself.Lin Ruyu warned worriedly, "This thing should be poisonous, third uncle don't touch it with your hands."

Uncle Ma cut open the calf of the corpse with a knife, and the uncoagulated blood flowed out, and the stench of the smoky nose dissipated, and the two immediately held their breath.

After cutting open the flesh, Lin Ruyu discovered that the hidden weapon was actually a steel nail the thickness of a carbon pencil!Ma Sanshu cut a piece of cloth from the corpse, carefully wrapped it around the steel nail and pulled it out vigorously, only to find that the steel nail pierced the flesh and was nailed to the bone.

What a powerful and vicious hidden weapon!

After carefully pulling out the steel nail, Uncle Ma cut off a small piece of thin bamboo tube and put it away, and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

The two stepped back a few steps lightly, avoiding the three people lying on the shore in a state of exhaustion, and returned to the temple, where they found that Dafu was sitting at the gate of Kuayuan guarding the gate, Shen Ge, who had already woken up, was eating porridge in the main room, and his son was washing Shen Ge and changing his clothes. With the clothes off, the smell of vegetables and the laughter of little Ah Heng wafted from the kitchen.

Seeing that third uncle and Lin Ruyu had returned, Shen Ge put down his bowl and got up to greet them.Lin Ruyu put down the heavy basket and pressed it down, and stopped her, "It's windy and humid outside, don't come out just as your fever has subsided."

Shen Ge nodded, his smile was sincere, and the abnormal blush on his face was also obvious.Apparently, his fever hadn't completely subsided.But at this moment, Lin Ruyu, who found the medicine, was confident that his fever would subside soon.

"Sister—" the little Ah Heng in the kitchen shouted cheerfully, "Mother fried cucumbers!"

Lin Ruyu smiled warmly when she saw her younger brother who had smeared a few pots of black on his face, and his mother who was dressed plainly and held a spatula.

How lucky to find such a courtyard under the cloudy sky and above the torrential flood.

After Lin Ruyu and Ma Sanshu washed their hands and feet and changed their clothes carefully, the seven people in the east courtyard sat around the table in the main room to eat.

Corn porridge, whole grain steamed buns, a large plate of fried cucumbers and a large bowl of cold purslane, everyone was very satisfied.

After the meal, Shengzi and Dafu cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Ma Sanshu helped the energetic Shen Ge back to the Dongli Room. Lin Ruyu followed him in to check the knife wound on his arm, and found that the wound was more red and swollen, showing signs of suppuration.

"I need to take medicine immediately. I'll go see how the rabbits in the yard are doing." Lin Ruyu went out of the house to check the hares in the basket.

This hare was caught by Uncle Ma when the two returned, and Lin Ruyu just used it to test the effect of the golden sore medicine.Reaching out to grab the lively little guy, and checking the wound on its back, Lin Ruyu satisfactorily put the hare back into the basket.

"Sister, I want to catch it too." Little Ah Heng ran over and squatted beside the basket, watching eagerly.

"I'll let you touch it later when my sister catches it." Lin Ruyu coaxed her younger brother, "The hare is scared, if bitten or scratched by it, it will bleed."

"Yeah." Little Ah Heng squatted beside the basket and waited obediently.

The younger brother, who was a bit arrogant and petty when he was in the mansion, has become much more sensible and well-behaved after these few days of tempering.Lin Ruyu patted his little shoulder, cleaned his hands and went to the kitchen to boil medicine for Shen Ge's wound, and was about to carry it into the east wing.

Mrs. Fang came in and took the medicine bowl, "Jiaojiao has been busy for half a day, mother sent it in, you sit here and continue to boil the antipyretic medicine."

Cleaning the wound and applying medicine are not technical tasks. Lin Ruyu handed it to her mother with confidence. She cleaned the medicine jar, added water again, and prepared a portion of antipyretic medicine according to the amount. After simmering, she caught the rabbit. Press it on the ground and let my younger brother play with it.

"Second Sister, can this rabbit be eaten?" The son who had finished washing the pot surrounded him, drooling while staring at the fat hare.Although Dafu who was standing behind didn't speak, it could be seen that he was also greedy for meat.

"Rabbits can't be eaten." Little Ah Heng covered the big rabbit with his small hands, and corrected, "Brother Shengzi, my sister is the eldest sister, not the second sister."

Lin Ruyu is the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the proper elder sister.Lin Ruyu smiled at Shengzi, "Eldest sister, second sister, cousin, sister Ruyu, you can call Shengzi whatever you want."

"Sister Ruyu." Shengzi chose the kindest one, "I finished washing the dishes, can I go to the woods to catch a rabbit or a pheasant and come back and roast it?"

Before Lin Ruyu could answer, Uncle Ma came in from the door and said solemnly, "This is the Guanyin Temple, you can't touch meat and let alone kill, otherwise you will be disrespectful to Buddhism, and the Bodhisattva will punish you."

They ate meat in the ruined temple in Wusha Town, and the Bodhisattva didn't say anything.The son muttered in his heart, but he replied obediently, "Third Uncle, I won't eat."

Lin Ruyu raised her head and asked, "Did third uncle give Shen Ge good medicine?"

"It's ready. I guess it's time for those three people to come up soon. I'll go and watch at the gate of the temple." Uncle Ma took out a shining long knife from the firewood pile in the kitchen and walked towards the gate of the temple.

Lin Ruyu looked at the back of the third uncle, then looked up at the sky hanging from the heavy rain, and picked up a wooden stick.

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.They have no way to stop those who flee from disaster and want to live in the temple, but if these people have evil intentions and beat them up and snatch them, Lin Ruyu will not be polite!
