After Chen Hong said this, he didn't bother to say goodbye to everyone, and he didn't even have time to go through the main entrance, so he climbed over the wall and ran in the direction of the smoke.

Everyone in the Guanyin Temple stood in the courtyard, looking at the two plumes of wolf smoke rising in the cloudy sky, and they were all out of breath.

Fang asked softly, "Ma Engong, where do you think that is?"

"It's Qi County." Uncle Ma's heart was also in a mess. The joy of getting rid of An Ziyuan's murderous gang had disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, An Ziyuan and the other two had their backs to the direction of the smoke and were concentrating on fighting the flood, and did not notice the smoke behind them.

Wolf smoke is an alarm emitted by the army when it encounters an enemy attack. One after another, the smoke rises and conveys the enemy's information to the distance. The Chen family will use smoke communication, which must have some connection with the army. Lin Ruyu asked, "Third uncle, the Chen family

Is there anyone serving in the military?”

Uncle Ma nodded, "Chen Jingcheng, who is now in charge of the Chen family, came back from being a soldier for more than ten years. He brought back a group of people, and Chen Hong was one of them. It was because of this group of people that the Chen family was established in Wusha Town.

No one dares to mess with me. This is the first time I have seen this scene in my life... Something big must have happened... Eh..."

Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance. Chen Jingcheng, who was fat and his eyes narrowed when he smiled, did not look like a soldier at all. Listening to his third uncle's nagging, Lin Ruyu cheered up and figured out what to do next.

Fang also came back to her senses and quickly made arrangements, "Since the head of the Chen family can release the smoke, it means that there is room for recovery of the situation. We can't help now, we can only find a way to repay the favor after we are out of trouble. The most important thing now is

The condition of Mr. Shen. I have packed up the room in the east hospital. Dafu, please help Mr. Ma to help Mr. Shen to recover from his illness. There are few of us, so it is more appropriate to live in the same hospital. "

Shen Ge, who had taken the medicine and was relaxing since An Ziyuan, was sleeping deeply. Uncle Ma entered the house, wrapped him in a quilt and carried him to the east courtyard. He found that what Fang and her daughter had vacated was actually the east courtyard of the hall.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Madam will live in the east wing, and the three of us will live in the wing."

With that said, he was about to walk into the east wing. Fang raised his hand to stop him, "My dear benefactor is still ill."

Uncle Ma sent Shen Ge into the east room, came out, bowed his hands to Fang, and formally introduced him, "My name is Ma Qinglin. My ancestral home is Luoshan, Shenzhou. I serve as the head escort of the Anshun Escort Bureau in Wusha Town."

Mrs. Fang raised her hand and bowed deeply, saying, "I am Lin Fangshi of Xuanzhou. I would like to express my gratitude to my benefactor for saving my life. The Lin family will hold the grass in their hands and tie a ring with it."

"Mrs. Lin's words are serious. Ma didn't do anything. I really can't afford your gift." Uncle Ma took a step back and raised his hand to support him. "Get up quickly. I really can't afford it."

Lin Ruyu stepped forward, held her mother's arm, and said with a smile, "Now that we live under the same roof, it would be too polite to call us benefactor, madam, and girl. Mother, when my daughter was in Wusha Town, she married Aunt Ma.

He rescued people from the siege, and then boarded the ship in the name of Ma Ermei..."

"Sister-in-law!" Before Lin Ruyu could finish speaking, Ma Sanshu had already changed his words. After shouting, his old face couldn't help but blush. Because in terms of age, Fang was obviously much younger than him.

Fang was not one to be coy either, so he paid Ma Qinglin the courtesy of "Third Uncle."

According to Xuanzhou custom, after a woman gets married and has children, she will call others after her children.

Now that we have recognized the couple, it will be much easier to talk to each other. Fang said, "The third uncle and his son must have been tired after watching Ge'er all night. You can go to Xili for a while and let Dafu take care of Ge'er."

They have already occupied the east room, how can they also occupy the west room? Uncle Ma quickly said, "I slept for half the night last night, and I am very energetic now. I will go and bring the two beds from the west courtyard. It won’t be easy for us to take action when someone comes to seek refuge.”

This is exactly the reason.

Shen Ge was left behind to guard the son, while the rest of the group went to the west courtyard to move things. In addition to two beds, they also took bedding, small stools, bowls and chopsticks for eating and other sundries. Little A Heng was the most diligent, moving from place to place. She moved all the small wooden blocks from the small kitchen in the west courtyard and placed them neatly in the kitchen in the east courtyard. Then she raised her head and smiled at her sister. Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched his little head to show encouragement.

After setting up the bed, Uncle Ma wanted to go down the mountain to get Shen Ge's baggage back. Lin Ruyu offered to go with him and pick some useful herbs along the way.

When I came to the foot of the mountain, I saw that the flow of the flood was only a little slower than yesterday, but Haolian Village a few miles away was already a vast ocean. The corpses and debris floating in the water were shocking. Even if I could swim across it and get the package back smoothly, , Lin Ruyu did not dare to let Shen Ge use the things that had been soaked by the flood for a day and a night.

"Third uncle..."

"Second sister..."

The two spoke at the same time, Lin Ruyu raised her hand, "Third uncle, you speak first."

Uncle Ma San said solemnly, "There is not much firewood, rice, oil and salt in the temple. Everything else is easy to deal with. We have to find a way to get some salt back."

Lin Ruyu nodded, "Do you know where there is salt nearby?"

Uncle Ma pointed in the direction of Haolian Village, "There is a salt well in the northeast of Haolian Village, but I don't know what the situation is now."

Even if there is a salt well, he will not be able to get through before the floods recover. Uncle Ma couldn't help but sigh, "Let's take it one step at a time. It's important to find herbal medicine first to bring down Ge'er's fever."

Lin Ruyu revealed her true intention of following, "Let's go to the place where An Ziyuan and the others fought. Maybe we can find medicine for knife wounds."

"Even if they had the medicine, it would have been taken away by An Ziyuan's followers." Uncle Ma said this, but he still held a glimmer of hope and led Lin Ruyu to the place where the ship was hidden. "You wait outside. , Third Uncle, go in and look."

Uncle Ma San followed the blood trail into the woods, and Lin Ruyu took a deep breath and bravely followed in. Chen Hong only said that the person was killed by An Ziyuan, but did not have time to elaborate. Lin Ruyu must find out An Ziyuan's methods. It's better to take precautions.

Entering the woods, he found Sanju's body thrown into a crevice between rocks. Uncle Ma Sanju muttered a few words, bent down and raised his hand to pull the body out and rummage through it.

"Third uncle," Lin Ruyu, who was following, warned, "be careful of the poison."

The blood flowing from the bodies and faces of the two killers was different from An Juchun's bright red abdomen. It looked like they were poisoned.

"What are you doing here? What if you get sick from fear..." Uncle Ma asked Lin Ruyu to step back, and then carefully pulled out Sanju's miserable body. He found that there was nothing on Sanju's body. Uncle Ma said Secretly, he turned An Ziyuan over and scolded him several times before saying to Lin Ruyu, "The weapons of these three people may have been thrown around here. Let's look carefully..."

Lin Ruyu, who was standing next to him, responded, then walked to the corpse, raised his head and pulled out the bamboo hairpin used to tie the hair of a killer.
