In the east courtyard, one of Ma Er's blind men was shot and killed. After shooting three others, Shen Ge went to the backyard to get water without any obstruction. This shows that Ma Er's blind man had been frightened and did not dare to act rashly. Everyone in the east courtyard felt at ease.

In the evening, after Uncle Ma Sanshu, four members of the Lin family and Shen Shangzhi had braised bamboo shoots with bean curd and wild vegetable dumplings in the main room, Shen Shangzhi said that he would go down the mountain before dawn tomorrow morning and would not disturb everyone when he set off.

This sentence made everyone in the room stunned.

Seeing that Shen Shangzhi had decided to go, Mrs. Fang asked, "Do you have anything urgent to do? If you don't have to go in person, we can ask someone to do it for you."

It wasn't that there was an emergency, but that he was afraid that someone would come after him and bring undue disaster to the people in the courtyard. But what Shen Shang said straight away was:

"I do have something that needs to be done in person. I have been delayed for four days due to injury and can't delay it any longer."

Seeing that Shen Ge lowered his head and remained silent, Uncle Ma began to persuade him, "Your injury is just fine, but you can't stand these cloudy days."

Shen Shangzhi smiled heartily and said, "Qinglin is right, I can't get wet in the rain now. So I want to take advantage of my old age and frailty to shamelessly wear a raincoat on the road. In addition to the raincoat, Qinglin will help me pack a few more clothes." How about a piece of fermented bean curd and a bamboo tube of itchy medicine given to me by Lin Yatou?"

Itching medicine or something like that doesn't sound as deterrent as venom, but it is very suitable. Lin Ruyu said seriously, "Counting the days, it's time for my second uncle to arrive. Why don't you just wait for tomorrow? If my second uncle doesn't arrive tomorrow, you Will I leave the day after tomorrow in the morning?"

Although there is not much food in the temple, and every meal can only be eaten with vegetable dumplings, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc., Shen Shangzhi's wound can heal better if he takes one more day.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but I do have urgent matters that cannot be delayed." Shen Shangzhi could see that everyone sincerely wanted to keep him. But the more this happened, the less he could stay.

Although there is a flood blocking the road, if the people who pursue him leave marks along the road that have not been washed away by the flood, then the follow-up troops will arrive in five days at the latest, and the people who protect him will be killed or wounded, and they will catch up. The possibility is very low. Therefore, after Shen Shangzhi was able to walk around, he did not dare to delay for a day.

To put it bluntly, even if the Lin family's ship arrived, Shen Shangzhi would not want to board the ship. This would probably bring death to the benefactor who saved his life.

Seeing that they couldn't hold him back, everyone had to start preparing things that Shen Shang could use on his way.

Fang was cooking bamboo shoots and steaming vegetable dumplings in the kitchen; Ma Sanshu placed the only brown raincoat in the temple on the kitchen table, removed the oilcloth from the only umbrella in the temple, and sewed it on the raincoat. Lin Ruyu and Shen Ge helped Shen Shangzhi back to the east room to check his injuries and change his dressing.

Seeing that the wound on Shen Shang's waist had begun to heal, Lin Ruyu was surprised by the efficacy of Daxia's knife wound medicine. After returning to Xuanzhou and systematically studying medicine, Lin Ruyu understood that Bao Li's knife wound medicine and the killer bamboo hairpin contained The golden sore medicine is a top-notch medicine that is priceless and unmarketable in this era, which is why Shen Shangzhi's injury healed so quickly.

Of course, these are all things for later.

"Your wound has just started to heal, so you cannot remove the stitches yet. You have to wait until it has healed. However, if the wound becomes red, swollen, hot, painful, etc. in the next few days, you should remove the stitches in advance and apply medicine. In addition to the wound on your waist, the wounds on your left arm and leg are also not small, and you still need to apply medicine every day." Lin Ruyu warned carefully after applying the medicine.

Looking at the serious-looking little girl, Shen Shang smiled and asked, "Where does the girl's medical expert come from?"

It is not right to study in the 21st century after thousands of years. There was only one Xia Dynasty in the first five thousand years of Chinese history, but it was not the one Lin Ruyu is in now.

This should be parallel time and space.

Lin Ruyu smiled and said, "I have only read a few medical books and recognized a few herbal medicines, but I have no teacher. The stitching technique for suturing wounds was practiced by sewing rag dolls. If the wound is large, it should be sutured. You are wrong?"

In later generations, Lin Ruyu was an orphan, reticent and unsociable, but before the age of fourteen, the little girl had no worries about food and clothing, was lively and active. After the two memories were gradually merged, Lin Ruyu's temperament became much livelier.

"Absolutely!" Shen Shang didn't laugh out loud because he was afraid of damaging the wound, but it was obvious that he was in a very good mood, "Girl, you are very talented in medicine, and Dafu is also very talented in archery. He is very talented. It must not be abandoned, otherwise it will be a waste of natural resources.”

"Ruyu, remember. After I go back, I will study medicine seriously, and I will also send Brother Dafu to practice martial arts. In this life, we don't seek wealth, we only seek peace and security, and have the ability to live a stable life. Mr. Rest, I will ration you some medicine, you can take it with you on the way. After finding a doctor, I will ask him to diagnose and treat you." Lin Ruyu stood up and said with a smile, "If you come to Xuanzhou in the future, you must come to my house to sit there. Take a seat. The house with the most beautiful gatehouse in Qingyi Lane in the east of Xuanzhou City is my house."

After coming out of the east room, Lin Ruyu discussed with Shen Ge who came out together, "I'll divide the medicine for knife wounds into two parts. I'll let my uncle take the more part, and you can keep the less part for your use, okay?"

"You keep half of the less just in case, and I'll take the more with you. I'll go down the mountain with my uncle tomorrow morning." Shen Ge's voice was already hoarse, but now he lowered his voice again, sounding gentle and firm in the rainy night. , "I... don't trust him to leave alone. As long as you know this, don't tell everyone else. With Dafu, the sharpshooter, there is nothing to fear from Ma Er Blind Man and his gang. Don't be afraid. Wait for the boat. When we arrive, ask them to send more people up to pick you up before you go back down."

It was still raining, and Mr. Fang and his third uncle were busy in the kitchen. The rest of the people were practicing sword skills, sticks, or horse-riding steps under the eaves according to Shen Shangzhi's instructions. In order to save lamp oil, the main room was not lit, and the room was dark. Lin Ruyu couldn't see Shen Ge's expression clearly, so she lowered her voice and asked, "My uncle has been looking for him for many years..."

"It's not me." Shen Ge leaned against the damp wall, staring at the beams with water in his eyes, "I'm just worried, so I want to give him a ride. After I send him to the place, I'll go there first Go to Cai Cai and then go to Xuanzhou."

"Yeah." Lin Ruyu responded softly. Even though she had thousands of words in her heart, she couldn't say a word.

She didn't speak, and Shen Ge leaned against the wall quietly. The laughter of Shengzi coming under the eaves came in, and Lin Ruyu asked in a low voice, "Where is Shengzi? Is he going with you?"

"He is following Uncle San. I will leave quietly tomorrow morning without him." Shen Ge turned his head and looked deeply at Lin Ruyu, who looked worried in the darkness, and pretended to be relaxed, "We will meet again later."

"Well, I will send someone to inquire about Mr. Dongzhu. Please be safe alone." Lin Ruyu, with red eyes, cleared her throat and said, "I will prepare medicine for you and my uncle."

Staring at Lin Ruyu's red eyes, Shen Ge felt sore in his heart. He wanted to say a few jokes to make her happy, but he didn't know what to say.

At Yin o'clock on the second day, two killers in gray were holding knives and hiding under a protruding rock to take a nap.

At the same moment, Chen Hong and his two brothers met outside the collapsed city wall of Qixian County and continued to search downstream without taking a break.

Halfway through Yinshi, Shen Shangzhi woke up. With the faint light coming from the lantern on the corridor eaves, he looked sideways at Shen Ge sleeping beside him. Finally, he couldn't help but raise his old hand and carefully caress Shen Ge's tenderness from the distance. face. After a while, Shen Shang took back his hand to wipe the tears from his face, quietly got up and left the room.

After he went out for a cup of tea, Shen Ge grabbed the package he had prepared in advance and got up, dressed and put on shoes.

"Ge'er." The third uncle on the bed next to him also sat up and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Shen Ge put on his shoes and stood up, "Third uncle, I'll give my uncle a ride, and I'll leave it to you to have a baby."

"Eh..." Uncle Ma sighed, "Be smart on the road and come back as soon as you arrive."

Shen Ge saluted and followed him out.

"Brother Shen, are you going out so early?" Hu, the second-year high school student on night duty, saw Shen Ge walking out with a bag on his back, and his eyes widened.

Shen Ge whispered, "The Lin family's boat is coming soon. I'm afraid they won't find the right place, so I'll go to the shore to meet it first."

Gao Erhu said in surprise, "Great! I'll go with you!"
