Chapter 21 Finding the whereabouts of mother and Ah Heng
Early the next morning, outside the south gate of Qi County.
An Ziyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Lin Ruyu following a fool out of the city gate and let out a laugh that made the three guards' hair stand on end.
After Lin Ruyu boarded the ship, An Ziyuan was also carried onto the merchant ship by two guards. Shen Ge, who had not yet left the city, saw this scene and frowned in a Sichuan shape. Why did An Ziyuan only have three followers left? , where did the other one go?
After learning that An Ziyuan had boarded the ship, Lin Ruyu analyzed, "Fan Genyuan no longer escorts the grain forward. An Ziyuan's small ship has lost its front barrier, so it is safer to switch to a larger ship."
Shen Ge asked in a low voice, "Do you know what An Ziyuan is doing in Xuanzhou?"
Lin Ruyu shook her head slightly and said, "In the dream, he said it was for business matters."
A businessman is not like An Ziyuan. His behavior is more like that of a noble son from a noble family. Shen Ge warned, "Stay in the room and don't come out, lest you run into him."
Lin Ruyu smiled and nodded. She had to check the mountains along the way today to find where her mother and A Heng were being held, so she had no time to go out.
Qixian County is mountainous and watery, with endless peaks of different sizes. Lin Ruyu's eyes were dazzled by the sight. Until half a moment later, when the boat went around a short peak to Haolian Village, three tall peaks suddenly broke into her eyes. Let her eyes light up.
These three peaks, one high and two low, can definitely be formed into a standard mountain by angularly rotating them using the three-dimensional geometric thinking method she has developed in her three years of high school!
Mother and A Heng may really be imprisoned in Haolian Village!
When the merchant ship docked, before Lin Ruyu could close the window, she saw that An Ziyuan had been carried ashore. Looking at the direction in which he was going, Lin Ruyu suddenly felt something bad in her heart.
The three peaks are distributed obliquely. Only when you look at the three peaks from the northeast and southwest can you see the word "mountain". There is a large area of water in the southwest, so the mother and Aheng are most likely to be in the northeast. And An Ziyuan It happened to be in the northeast!
Lin Ruyu opened the door of the next door and said quickly, "An Ziyuan went to the northeast. Brother Dafu and I rushed over to see if my mother was there. You and Shengzi..."
Shen Ge immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Lin Ruyu shook her head, "I have already thought of a countermeasure. You and Shengzi are following me secretly, just in case."
Seeing that Lin Ruyu had made up her mind, Shen Ge nodded, "You should be more careful."
The town of Haolianzhai is about the same size as Wusha Town. Lin Ruyu led Lin Dafu through the streets and alleys, heading straight to the northeast. As they walked, Lin Ruyu looked up at the three mountain-shaped peaks.
Thinking that her mother and A Heng, who were imprisoned in a shabby cage, might be not far ahead, looking at the same mountain peak as herself, Lin Ruyu couldn't help but feel anxious. She was so afraid that her mother and A Heng had been taken away. somewhere else.
"Miss Lin."
Lin Ruyu, who was walking hurriedly through the alley, suddenly heard someone calling her in a low voice, and the voice sounded a bit familiar. She took two steps back, held the medicine bag she had just prepared in her hand, and looked at the person cautiously.
A man with a square face, broad eyes, and a medium build walked out of the alley. He raised his hands and cupped his fists towards Lin Ruyu.
Seeing that his posture was so familiar, Lin Ruyu's eyes lit up, "You are Uncle Chen..."
"Young girl has such a good memory, I really do." Chen Hong, who had once sent a message to Lin Ruyu in the ruined temple in Wusha Town, lowered his voice, "I have been ordered by Master Bao to trace the whereabouts of your daughter-in-law. So far, I have found out who your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law are. My brother is imprisoned in Tao's Manor, ten miles to the northeast. Since there are more than 20 guards in the manor, the security is very tight, so I don't dare to take any risks. I am planning to send a letter back to ask the Fourth Master to send more people."
Lin Ruyu was overjoyed, "Are my mother and brother okay?"
Chen Hongluo paused and then said, "They were unconscious when they were sent to Taojiazhuang last night. I was afraid of making mistakes, so I didn't dare to sneak in. I don't know the details."
Lin Ruyu immediately said, "I brought help, Brother Shen!"
Shen Ge appeared from the alley, walked forward quickly with his son, clasped his fists and greeted Chen Hong, "Brother Hong."
Chen Hong nodded and said calmly, "Shen Ge's kung fu is pretty good, but just the two of us..."
"Not only you two, but also four helpers. They are the main attackers. Brother Hong, Shen Ge and Shengzi are keeping an eye on Taojiazhuang from three directions in the dark to prevent them from hiding my mother and A Heng elsewhere."
Shen Ge frowned, "The 'helper' you are talking about is..."
Lin Ruyu nodded confidently, "Hurry up and ambush, leave the frontal attack to me and Dafu."
"Yes!" Dafu was also very anxious when he heard that the eldest lady was in front.
"You have to be careful. If it doesn't work out, we'll look for an opportunity at night." Shen Ge warned with worry before following Chen Hong.
Lin Ruyu took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said to Dafu, "Brother, from now until I rescue my mother and A Heng, don't say a word. You will do whatever I ask you to do. Can you do it?"
Dafu nodded vigorously and closed his mouth tightly.
Lin Ruyu raised her head and smiled brightly at him, "We will definitely rescue my mother and A Heng today!"
These words were spoken not only to Dafu, but also to herself. Lin Ruyu looked at the direction of the mountain and walked quickly.
After passing through several streets, Lin Ruyu was unexpectedly stopped by two gangster-looking people, one tall and one short.
The short ruffian looked Lin Ruyu and Dafu up and down, and said teasingly, "Hey, the little sister looks so scared. Did she just arrive at Haolian Village?"
"Where are you going, sister? Haolian Village is very big and it's hard to find anywhere." The tall ruffian chuckled, "Why don't you, sister, pay some money and ask me to send you there?"
"Both of us are honest people, so we don't want more." The short ruffian stretched out his big, dirty hands to Lin Ruyu, "Just ten cents."
Lin Ruyu pretended to be frightened, grabbed Dafu's sleeve, turned around and ran to the other end of the alley.
The gangsters from the two places laughed and chased after each other leisurely, "Little sister, why are you running away? We brothers are doing serious business and we are not bad people."
Lin Ruyu pulled Dafu and ran out of the alley, and almost bumped into a person who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. She let out a startled "Ah" and was grabbed by a slender white hand and pulled into the snow-white.
The smell of the nightmare came all over the place. Even though she was mentally prepared, Lin Ruyu couldn't help but tremble all over.
But it turned out that this was a little fox that was a little clever but not very courageous. Feeling the darling in his arms trembling with fear, An Ziyuan raised his hand to support her two thin little arms, with a caring face. Gentle and courteous, "I am being rude, can you stand firm, girl?"
Lin Ruyu grabbed Dafu's arm and stood still, nodding in panic, looking extremely helpless. Seeing An Ziyuan pity Dunsheng, she wished she could hold her back in her arms and love her as much as she wanted.
Unwilling to be ignored, the gangsters from the high and low places gave up and rushed up to curse, "Where did you come from, a paralytic? How dare you ruin your grandfather's good deeds!"
