Chapter 24 The King in the Dark Night
Although the Lin family is not a scholarly family, the elders in the family also attach great importance to the upbringing and knowledge of their children. Lin Ruyu has been studying and practicing calligraphy with the lady who has been invited to her home since she was five years old. It has been nine years now. It's not difficult.
Before Lin Ruyu could finish writing all the words, Shen Ge's starry eyes widened, "These are the words of Mr., it must be Mr. who is imprisoned in that room!"
Unable to suppress his voice due to excitement, Shen Ge quickly covered his mouth and listened carefully. Fortunately, he did not wake up the Lin family who had just been rescued. Shen Ge then whispered, "Chen Hong said that Auntie and A Heng were sent to Tao last night. At the home village, my husband was still there at that time, so he must have been sent away last night or during the day today. I have asked people from Haolianzhai to ask around, and there will be news soon. When it gets late at night, I Come to Taojiazhuang and take a look."
Lin Ruyu knew that she couldn't persuade Shen Ge, so she asked in a low voice, "Are you going by yourself, or with your third uncle or Chen Hong?"
Shen Ge replied, "Third uncle has to guard the ship. Chen Hong has returned to Wusha Town to resume his duties. I will go with Shengzi and ask him to help me guard the ship outside the village."
It was still too dangerous, Lin Ruyu reminded, "An Ziyuan has four followers, and only three boarded the ship this morning. An Linchun didn't show up all day. It's possible that he took the husband away, or he was still hiding in secret. In addition, An Jiachun and An Juchun have not returned to the ship yet, so you must be extremely vigilant."
"Okay. This is a superior guest room. There are bodyguards patrolling outside all night. You can rest assured." Shen Ge's starry eyes looked directly at Lin Ruyu's beautiful eyes and he whispered, "If I and I don't come back before dawn. , I just stayed here to find the whereabouts of Mr. You. When you return to Xuanzhou and want to capture Fang Caiwang, you send people to Qi County to find Zhang Xiazi from Dongsan Street. I will tell him, even if he is running away from the flood. , he will also take Fang Caiwang with him, and will return to Qi County when the flood recedes. If you can find out about Mr. Shi, send a message to Mrs. Shi in Tong'an County. You must beware of An Ziyuan, Let’s see you later.”
Although she had expected that Shen Gexu would stay in Haolian Village and continue to inquire for information, Lin Ruyu's heart could not help but tremble at this moment. Shen Ge was the person who had helped her the most since her rebirth.
Lin Ruyu pursed her lips, turned around and took out a small baggage, put it on the table and opened it, "This is a potion made of nettle juice in a white porcelain bottle. Sprinkle this potion on the skin, as fast as a quarter of an hour or as slowly as an hour. , the skin will become red, swollen and itchy. If there is no antidote, it will be difficult to go away in a few days. This red bottle is a high-quality knife wound medicine. I only used a little and left most of it. This bottle is Zhixiang ointment that repels mosquitoes and relieves itching. , very useful; this... is a six hundred tael silver note. It will be more convenient to bring more money when you are doing things outside."
After saying that, Lin Ruyu smiled and laughed at herself, "My family is worried about An Ziyuan and Dong Wenyin just because of the money. You must not refuse. I will continue to trace the whereabouts of my husband. We will see you later."
Shen Ge was not short of silver, but he still accepted Lin Ruyu's kindness and said with a smile, "I borrowed this silver from you, and I will pay it back double in the future."
Seeing that he was willing to accept it, Lin Ruyu's smile deepened, "Based on our friendship, doubling it is too much. Just pay me back with interest. In ten days, the flood will come, and you and your son will have to Climb up and take shelter in time."
The Wolong Embankment burst on the first day of August, flooding hundreds of villages in 13 downstream counties and causing numerous casualties. Qi County was the first to bear the brunt.
Shen Ge nodded, picked up the baggage and walked out of the room. He looked back at Lin Ruyu. Their eyes met, and the two of them grinned at the same time and said to each other silently:
"treasure."
After seeing off Shen Ge, Lin Ruyu was lost for a moment, then turned around and quietly returned to the screen, only to see that her mother had woken up, and her face looked better than when she came out of the village.
Lin Ruyu stepped forward to help her sit up and said in a low voice, "A Heng ate a bowl of noodle soup before going to bed. Are you hungry, mother? Do you want to eat some?"
Fang shook his head slightly and raised his hand.
Lin Ruyu immediately returned to the forest like a tired bird, and fell into her mother's arms. The circles in her eyes couldn't help but feel astringent. Although they had only been separated for five days in her mother's opinion, Lin Ruyu had waited for her mother's arms for too long, too long.
Fang patted her daughter's back gently and asked softly, "Who was Jiaojiao talking to just now?"
Lin Ruyu rubbed her little face in her mother's arms like a cat, "His name is Shen Ge and he is from Wusha Town. After my daughter was rescued from the river by Brother Dafu..."
Shen Ge quietly returned to the basement room, said hello to Shengzi, covered his head and closed his eyes, but all he could see was Lin Ruyu's smiling face. Even with a birthmark on her face, she was still incredibly beautiful. She smiled to herself...
Shen Ge raised his hand and pinched his face hard, turned over and hugged the thin quilt, forcing himself not to think randomly. After all, Lin Ruyu and he were not the same person.
After squinting for an hour, Shen Ge and Shengzi packed up their things and got up. They said goodbye to Uncle Ma and secretly landed ashore, taking advantage of the moonlight and heading straight to Taojiazhuang.
The gate of Taojiazhuang was closed, and the inside of the village was pitch black without a trace of light. Shengzi lay down in the rice fields full of insects, and Shen Ge covered his face with a black cloth, holding a dagger in his hand, climbed over the wall and entered the village.
The corpse in the village had been carried away, leaving only patches of dark blood on the ground, and the air was still filled with the smell of blood. Following the route guided by Lin Ruyu, Shen Ge quickly found the second east wing of the inner courtyard. Staring at the windowless room There was only one wooden door in the wing room. Shen Ge held his breath and observed for a moment, then he gently stepped forward, gently opened the door and walked in.
Closing the door silently, Shen Ge took out his firebrand and blew it. He glanced around and then landed on the wall opposite the door, looking for Mr.'s engraving. But there was no writing on the wall beside the table, only something hanging on it. Traces of a piece falling off.
This trace... Shen Ge's eyes turned sharp, it was a knife!
Shen Ge immediately turned around and leaned against the wall. Before he could look around, a gust of evil wind came from above his head. A man jumped from the roof, and the bright long knife in his hand struck Shen Ge directly in the face!
While Shen Ge dodged, he threw Huo Zhezi and the potion given to him by Lin Ruyu at the attacker.
"Pa!" The porcelain bottle was chopped into pieces by the opponent's long knife, and the potion splashed everywhere. When the opponent pulled back, Shen Ge's dagger followed closely and stabbed the attacker's heart. The opponent did not dodge, and slashed at Shen Gezhi. With the dagger's right arm, Shen Ge retreated with the dagger and turned his leg into a whip to swing towards the opponent's lower abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged several moves. Shen Ge was no match for his opponent in terms of strength and moves. He crushed the fire out with one kick. Shen Ge, who grew up in the darkness of the dilapidated temple alley, is a man of the dark night. King!
After the house became his home court in the dark night, Shen Ge silently pounced on the opponent and stabbed the opponent's face with a dagger to avenge the person who had just attacked him.
It's never too late for a bullshit gentleman to seek revenge after ten years. If he has a grudge, he must take revenge immediately. If he doesn't knock the other party down, he is not the boss of Wusha Town!
The person who attacked did not show any weakness. He danced the long knife tightly and blocked Shen Ge's sneak attack. However, no matter how skillful the move was, it would fail after being blinded by the darkness. Shen Ge stabbed him in the legs and back. After the injury, the man could still hold back, but the painful itching that came from the skin touched by the medicine made him unwilling to fight.
In the darkness, the attacker couldn't tell where the door was, so he swung upwards, broke the roof, and fled in a panic!
Chapter completed!
