Early the next morning, the sky that had been cloudy for several consecutive days finally cleared up, and the morning glow reflected the mountains of Haolian Village red. People who were about to become moldy came out of their houses one after another to dry their clothes, bedding, and firewood. Some people also came in groups to take advantage of the flood. When the weather is nice, go out quickly and look for something to fill your stomach.

Uncle Ma Sanshu also took the newly moved high school seniors Hu, Shengzi and Dafu out to dig bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and mushrooms to collect venom.

Gao Dahu was in the backyard helping the six people from Zhaojiawan tidy up the house, Gao Erhu was wandering around the courtyards to get information, and Shen Ge stayed behind in the east courtyard.

Mother and daughter Fang and Lin Ruyu used the few remaining corns, plus wild vegetables, bamboo shoots and other vegetables to make breakfast. Smoke also came from the chimneys in the temple's backyard and west courtyard kitchen.

Because it was sunny, the Guanyin Temple was very peaceful this morning.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Courage means spirit, energy, and spirit. Spirit, energy, strength, and skills are the foundation of martial arts practitioners, and hands, eyes, body, and steps are appearance. If the foundation is not solid, no matter how good the body, method, and steps are, they will be useless."

Shen Shangzhi, who was lying on the couch, basking in the sun and recuperating from his injuries, was instructing Shen Ge and little Ahengzha on the horse steps. "You have to stabilize the horse steps, and then practice the friction steps and exert force. Ge'er's center of gravity will sink again, Straighten your upper body; Ah Heng is ready, get up and rest."

Little A-Heng, whose face was red and whose legs were trembling, responded sharply, "Uncle, A-Heng can still hold on for a while, no need to rest."

It is very impressive that a five-year-old child has such perseverance. Shen Shangzhi gently advised, "Good boy, martial arts requires relaxation and relaxation. Get up first, shake your legs, and rest while burning incense before practicing."

"good."

Little Ah Heng tried to stand up, but his legs gave out and he collapsed on the ground. He subconsciously looked towards the kitchen and saw his mother and sister smiling at him, so he grinned too, turned around and smiled directly at Shen Shang.

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Shen Shang asked Lin Ruyu to pull A Heng up, and then turned to look at Shen Ge.

Although his left arm was injured, Shen Ge's horse steps were very stable, and it could be seen that his basic skills were very solid. Shen Shang looked straight at the backs of him and his eldest son, who were very similar, and looked a little dazed.

Although he knew it was impossible, Shen Shangzhi still felt that Shen Ge was his long-lost grandson Shen Yanyi.

Shen Shangzhi's eyes fell on Shen Ge's calf. Will the birthmark from her mother's womb disappear?

Lin Ruyu, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, looked at Shen Shangzhi. The more she looked, the more she felt that her mother was right. Even though this old man was in bed recovering from his injuries, even though his face was full of worry, he still had the aura of a superior person.

The possibility that he is the Marquis of Wu'an is very high.

"You didn't even open your f*cking eyes to see who I am! Get out of here!" A shout came from outside the hospital, followed by the sound of a fight.

"Someone has entered the temple, mother, Shen Ge, let's carry my uncle into the house." Lin Ruyu immediately stood up and worked with Shen Ge and Fang to carry Shen Shang straight back to the main room and let little A Heng stay in the house. Don't come out, then the three of them hold swords in their hands and guard the east and west walls and the courtyard gate.

"Dong, dong dong!" The knock on the door sounded rhythmically, and Gao Erhu's frightened and trembling voice came in, "It's me, Erhu, open the door quickly."

The gatekeeper Shen Ge picked up his sword and opened the door bolt. Gao Erhu immediately squeezed in, closed the courtyard door and leaned on the door panel. He patted his heart and looked at Shen Ge expectantly, "Blind Ma Er broke in with someone. Brother Shen is quite familiar with him, right? He won't get into trouble with us, right?"

Shen Ge had only heard of Ma Er Blind Man, but had never interacted with him before. However, he did not panic and asked calmly, "How many people did he bring?"

"There was a large group of Wuyangyang, at least a dozen or so, carrying sticks and machetes in their hands." Before the flood, Gao Erhu, who was engaged in farming and fishing, was very afraid of the ruffian leader in Haolian Village who did all kinds of evil.

We are outnumbered now. If blind man Ma Er is allowed to rush in, Mrs. Lin and Ruyu will be in danger, and Mr. Shen will not be able to hide them. Shen Ge makes a quick decision, "Blind man Ma Er will definitely live in the backyard. Second brother will go and arrest him." Your brother and the people from Zhaojiawan are calling over. Don't panic, they are here to seek a way to survive, not to kill or set fire."

"I...okay..." Gao Erhu swallowed his saliva and bravely opened the door and walked out.

The new group of people who entered the temple brought weapons and started beating and scolding them everywhere. Lin Ruyu immediately went into the kitchen and took out three palm-long bamboo tubes filled with venom. The bamboo tubes were made to imitate the structure of needle tubes and should be pulled out when used. With the plug on one end, you can quickly push the other end inward and the venom will spray out, which is very convenient.

Lin Ruyu handed her mother a tube of venom and told her to be careful. Then she ran to the door of the courtyard, handed another bamboo tube to Shen Ge, and whispered, "You have a wound on your arm. If you can manage it wisely, don't use the knife."

Shen Ge nodded, "I understand. If Gao Erhu can bring people in later, you and your aunt will go back to the room and wait. We will show our identities and subdue the six people in Zhaojiawan."

Lin Ruyu nodded and returned to her original position.

After a while, Gao Erhu led Gao Dahu and six people from Zhao Jiawan over. Fang and Lin Ruyu returned to the main room, closed the door and waited.

In such a short time, Ma Er, the blind man, had already rushed into the backyard with his people. Gao Dahu had a fresh slap mark on his face, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot. The six people in Zhaojiawan were helpless. However, after the six people entered the hospital, they saw what was inside the hospital. It was actually clean and tidy, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Living here is much better than living in the North Courtyard where there is almost no place to stay.

Gao Erhu cursed in a low voice, "Those beasts not only took over our house, but also robbed Brother Zhao Lu and his family of their luggage and food."

Shen Ge consoled him, "It's okay if everything is fine. As long as we can hold on to this yard, we will have whatever we want in the future."

yes!

The goddess of wealth in the house promised the three brothers two hundred taels of silver. As long as they kept Mrs. Lin, they would get whatever they wanted!

Gao Erhu straightened his back and said, "Brother Shen is right!"

Brother Shen discussed with Zhao Lu, the leader of the six people in Zhaojiawan, "Brother Lu, my third uncle and senior high school brother went out to dig bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Blind man Ma Er will come over later. I, the younger brother, will stop me. Brother first sent two people to guard the east wall, and the remaining four people, Brother Gao, and Brother Gao stood behind the younger brother to help the younger brother build up his momentum. As long as they can block the gang of Blind Ma Er, we can successfully wait for the big boat to pick up Mrs. Lin. , I will be grateful to you."

Zhao Lu, who had a sloppy beard, shabby clothes and bare feet, immediately became energetic after hearing Shen Ge's words, "You said there was a boat coming to pick you up?"

Shen Ge nodded, "I didn't have time to tell Brother Lu yesterday that I am an escort from Dongshun Escort Bureau. This trip is to protect Mrs. Lin back to Xuanzhou. The big ship from Xuanzhou will arrive at the bottom of the mountain within five days."

Zhao Lu was pleasantly surprised, but also a bit disbelieving, "Seriously? Brother, you are not tricking us, are you? We have fallen out with Ma Er Blind Man, and we really can't hang out in Hao Lian Village."

Shen Ge coughed, and the door of the main room opened with a creak. The six people in Zhaojiawan turned around and saw an ugly girl with a birthmark on her face helping out a beautiful woman. Their eyes immediately turned straight.

Fang glanced at the six people in Zhaojiawan one by one with a majestic look, making them all lower their heads. Shen Ge then introduced, "This is the biological sister of Master Zuofang, the Western Cao Shu of Mianzhou, the number one in Xuanzhou The mistress of the Lin family, a wealthy businessman."

The people were afraid of officials. Although they didn't know what kind of official Xi Cao Shuzuo was, the six Zhao Lu people were still overwhelmed by Fang's momentum and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Get up." Madam Fang's voice was neither urgent nor slow, and she showed everyone's mistress-like demeanor. "Thank you for your service. I will thank you very much when I board the ship safely."

"Madam, don't worry, the common people are working hard..."

"boom--"

Before Zhao Lu finished expressing his loyalty, the door of the east courtyard was kicked hard, "Why should you close the door in broad daylight? Open it for me! Bang——"

Zhao Lu and others were trembled by the sound of the door being kicked. Lin Ruyu felt her mother trembling with fright, but her voice remained calm, "Shen Ge went to open the door. I want to see who dares to do this in front of me." presumptuous."

Shen Ge raised his sword and handed over his hand, "Just leave these people to the villain. Madam, please go back to your room and rest, so as not to stain your eyes by these insults."

"That's fine."

After Mrs. Fang was helped back to the main room by her daughter, her legs went limp and she almost sat on the ground. Lin Ruyu closed the door, helped her mother sit down at the table, and whispered, "Mother, take a rest first, and my daughter will guard the door."

"Ruyu will take care of uncle and Aheng, and mother will guard the door." How could Fang let her daughter take risks? She tried hard to suppress her fear, grabbed the long knife on the table, held the handle tightly with both hands, and stood by the door.

Little A Heng also picked up a wooden stick that was taller than him, stood next to his mother, and stared at the door with wide eyes.

Shen Shang sat up straight on the couch and said to Lin Ruyu, who was holding an iron bow, "Ruyu, give me the bow and arrows."
