Seeing the bamboo hairpin pulled out by Lin Ruyu, Uncle Ma also realized something was wrong, "This hairpin..."

"Maybe it's hollow." Lin Ruyu raised her hand and pulled out the bamboo hairpin on the head of another body that had its clothes stripped off. Her mother had an inconspicuous hollow silver hairpin that could be used to hide things, so

Only then did Lin Ruyu notice the wooden hairpins on the heads of the two corpses.

The more inconspicuous something is, the more likely it is that it contains something good.

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

"Be careful of fraud." Uncle Ma raised his hand, "Let me come."

"Third uncle, be careful." Lin Ruyu didn't show off and handed the bamboo hairpin to Uncle Ma.

Be cautious in everything, this is the credo Ma Sanshu has adhered to for many years as an escort. He found a tree that was nearly an arm thick, held it in his arms to block his body, held both ends of the bamboo hairpin with both hands, and pulled it out as expected.

Two pieces.

After waiting for a while, he found that there was no poisonous gas, poisonous needles or other hidden weapons. Then Uncle Ma took back the bamboo hairpin and looked at it. Then his eyes lit up, "Girl, this looks like medicine for wounds!"

"Really?" Lin Ruyu took it and sniffed it, and said in surprise, "It smells of rosin and camphor, it should be golden sore medicine!"

Uncle Ma opened the second bamboo hairpin again and found that there was also ointment inside. He grinned and said, "It's better now. Ge'er's injury is saved."

This is really in line with the saying "There is no perfect path for man", Lin Ruyu also beamed, "Let's..."

"Someone is coming up!" Uncle Ma pulled Lin Ruyu behind him and looked out of the woods cautiously.

Lin Ruyu closed the bamboo hairpin and put it away, looked out and saw three extremely embarrassed men crawling out of the water on their hands and feet and onto the shore.

"Looking at their attire, they should be local farmers. Let's keep our voices down and go back to guard the east courtyard as soon as we find the weapons." Uncle Ma lowered his voice. As he spoke, he took off the shoes and socks of Sanju's corpse and used thread and straw to

After tying him up, he looked around and discovered, "Over there!"

Uncle Ma stood up and dug out a piece of soil that had obviously been turned over about a foot away.

Lin Ruyu picked up her shoes and was about to follow when she noticed something flashing on the calf of a corpse.

She held her breath and stepped forward again, rolled up the corpse's trouser legs with a wooden stick, and found that there was a fist-sized black-purple patch on his calf, and in the center of this black-purple patch, there was a shining silver nail that had been nailed into the flesh.

hidden weapon.

Could this be An Ziyuan's killing method?

Lin Ruyu whispered to Uncle Ma, who had dug out two knives and one sword, and borrowed a long knife to dig out the hidden weapon and check what happened.

How could Uncle Ma San let her take action to retrieve the hidden weapon? Lin Ruyu worriedly warned, "This thing must be poisonous. Uncle San, don't touch it with your hands."

Uncle Ma used a knife to cut open the body's calf, and the uncoagulated blood flowed out. The fishy smell dissipated from their noses, and the two of them immediately held their breaths.

After cutting open the flesh, Lin Ruyu discovered that the hidden weapon was actually a steel nail as thick as a carbon pen! Uncle Ma cut a piece of cloth from the body, carefully wrapped it around the steel nail and pulled it out hard, only to find that the steel nail actually pierced the body.

The skin and flesh were broken and nailed to the bones.

What a powerful and vicious hidden weapon!

After carefully pulling out the steel nail, Uncle Ma cut off a small section of bamboo tube and put it away, then whispered, "Let's go!"

The two quietly stepped back a few steps, avoiding the three people lying on the shore without any strength, and returned to the temple. They found Dafu sitting at the door across the courtyard guarding the door. Shen Ge, who had already woken up, was eating porridge in the main room, and Shen Ge was cleaning Shen Ge's clothes after giving birth.

She took off her clothes, and the smell of vegetables and little Aheng's laughter wafted from the kitchen.

When Shen Ge saw that his third uncle and Lin Ruyu were back, he put down his bowl and stood up to greet them. Lin Ruyu put down his heavy backpack and packed it, and stopped him, saying, "It's windy outside and the humidity is heavy. Your fever has just gone away, so don't come out."

Shen Ge nodded, his smile was sincere, and the abnormal blush on his face was obvious. Obviously, his fever had not completely subsided. But at this moment, Lin Ruyu, who had found the medicine, was confident that his fever could be subsided soon.

“Sister—” little A Heng in the kitchen shouted happily, “Mother fried cucumbers!”

Lin Ruyu smiled warmly when she saw her younger brother with a few pieces of pot black on his face, and his mother who was dressed simply and holding a spatula in her hand.

How lucky we are to find such a courtyard under the cloudy sky and above the torrential floods.

After Lin Ruyu and Ma Sanshu carefully washed their hands and feet and changed their clothes, 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 dishes, and Uncle Ma helped Shen Ge back to the east room. Lin Ruyu followed him to check the stab wound on his arm, and found that the wound was more red and swollen, and there were signs of suppuration.

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

This hare was caught by Ma Sanshu when the two of them returned. Lin Ruyu happened to use it to test the efficacy of the golden sore medicine. She reached out and grabbed the lively little guy. After checking the wounds on its back, Lin Ruyu said with satisfaction. The hare is put back into the basket.

"Sister, I want to catch him too." Little A Heng ran over and squatted next to the basket, watching eagerly.

"I'll let you touch it later when I catch it." Lin Ruyu coaxed her younger brother, "The hare is scared. If it bites or scratches it, it will bleed."

"Yeah." Little A Heng squatted next to the backpack and waited obediently.

The little brother who was a bit arrogant and had a bad temper when he was in the house has become much more sensible and well-behaved after these few days of hard work. Lin Ruyu patted his little shoulder, washed her hands and went to the kitchen to make some concoction for Shen Ge to clean the wound. It must be carried into the east wing.

Mrs. Fang came in and took the medicine bowl, "Jiaojiao has been busy for a long time. Mom sent it in. You sit here and take the antipyretic medicine."

Cleaning wounds and applying medicine is not a technical job. Lin Ruyu handed it over to her mother with confidence. She cleaned the medicine jar, refilled it with water, estimated the amount and prepared a portion of antipyretic medicine. After simmering it over a slow fire, she caught the rabbit. Press it on the ground and let your brother touch and play with it.

"Second sister, can this rabbit be eaten?" The students who had finished washing the pot gathered around and drooled at the fat hare. Although Dafu standing behind did not speak, it was obvious that he was also hungry for meat.

"You can't eat rabbits." Little A Heng covered the big rabbit with his small hands and corrected, "Brother giving birth, my sister is the eldest sister, not the second sister."

Lin Ruyu is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, the proper eldest sister. Lin Ruyu smiled at her son and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, cousin, Sister Ruyu, you can call me whatever you want."

"Sister Ruyu." Shengzi chose the most kind one, "I have washed the dishes. Can you go to the woods to catch a rabbit or pheasant and roast it for dinner?"

Before Lin Ruyu could answer, Uncle Ma walked in from the door and said seriously, "This is the Guanyin Temple. You are not allowed to eat meat, let alone kill. Otherwise, you are disrespecting Buddhism, and the Bodhisattva will punish you."

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

Lin Ruyu raised her head and asked, "Has Third Uncle given Shen Ge the good medicine?"

"It's done. I guess the time will come. The three of them will be here soon. I'll go and guard at the temple gate." Uncle Ma took out a bright long knife from the firewood pile in the kitchen and walked towards the temple gate.

Lin Ruyu looked at her third uncle's back, then looked up at the sky filled with heavy rain, and also picked up a wooden stick.
