Chapter 57 Water Lotus

Shen Ge was also thinking about this problem. The people who were chasing his uncle and An Ziyuan were the same people. In other words, his uncle and An Ziyuan might know each other. When his uncle woke up, he had to ask him properly.

"Stop the ship——"

"Help-"

"Help-"

Hearing the cry for help, the three people in the house turned to look at the window. Shengzi ran over and was about to open the window when he heard Uncle Ma shout, "Don't open the window, be careful of fraud. You stay here and guard your brother, I'll go over there." See if the old man is awake. Don't be afraid, there are dozens of bodyguards and guards on the Lin family's ship, who can protect the ship."

"Third uncle, please be more careful." Shen Ge warned.

After Uncle Ma San left, Shengzi, who was guarding the window, ran back to the bed and whispered, "The noise you hear is someone in the water trying to get on the boat again. This is the sixth wave today."

When people whose homes have been destroyed by floods see a big ship, they will regard it as a savior and jump into the water desperately to board the ship. But no matter how big these two ships are, how many refugees can they hold?

Shen Ge closed his eyes, "Second Uncle Lin will handle it properly, let's not talk too much."

"Hmm." Thinking of all the corpses floating on the water, Shengzi twitched his nose and was once again glad that all his brothers in Wsha Town had left early.

I wonder if the dog’s legs are feeling better...

"Brother Shen, the medicine is ready." Amidst the noise outside the boat, Dafu's shout sounded particularly sweet.

Shengzi quickly ran over, opened the door, took the medicine bowl in Dafu's hand, and said, "Brother Dafu, come in quickly."

Dafu came into the room, pulled up a small stool, and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge didn't ask why he had already drank the medicine just now, and now he had another bowl. He brought it over and drank it in a gulp, then said, "Dafu, go and get busy. I have nothing to do here."

Dafu sat still and said, "Madam, you asked me to guard you."

Dafu is a straight-tempered person who accepts death. He listens to Mrs. Lin and the second sister the most. Since Mrs. Lin asked him to come, he will not leave no matter what he says. Shen Ge asked, "Are aunt and the second sister okay?"

Dafu nodded, "Okay."

The two of them stared at each other in silence. When the shouting outside stopped, Shen Ge asked curiously, "Dafu, what were you thinking about when you shot the arrow?"

Dafu thought carefully for a long time and said truthfully, "Shoot an arrow."

"hehe……"

Shen Ge laughed happily, "You are right, when you don't think about archery, what else can you think about."

"Second Master ordered people to throw a few bags of dry food to the people in the water. We can no longer board the boat." The maid Yun Juan told Lin Ruyu about the situation outside.

Yun Juan and Lan Que, who died at the foot of Matou Mountain, were both Lin Ruyu's personal maids. When Lin Ruyu left the house with her mother, she only took her nanny and Lan Que with her. When Lin Erye got the news and came out to look for her, he took Yun Juan with him. Brought it over.

The area affected by the flood was very large. They only had two boats and the number of people who could be rescued on the boat was limited. The second uncle did his best by throwing dry food to the people in the water. Lin Ruyu continued to ask about the situation at home, "When you come out, follow What did the outside say?"

Yun Juan replied, "After the second master received the news that the second housekeeper sent someone to send it back, he immediately found someone to find a boat, using the name of transporting medicinal materials."

It was the same in her memory. Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes and asked again, "Is eldest aunt in our house?"

Yunjuan replied, "My aunt has been back for three days. Young Master Zhisheng and Cousin Yuzhen are also here. Cousin Yuzhen lives in Qianhuayuan."

Xianhuayuan is her own yard. Sure enough...it is exactly the same as in the previous life. Lin Ruyu's eyes were cold.

Her grandfather had three daughters, two legitimate daughters and one concubine, both of whom were married in Xuanzhou. When her grandfather was ill in bed, he gave the seal of the head of the family to his mother. Since then, she has always disliked her.

The eldest aunt took the initiative to propose a marriage between the two families and let Lin Ruyu marry into the Zhang family and become her daughter-in-law.

Her mother knew clearly what she had planned, so she shelved the matter on the grounds that she would wait until her father returned from the sea to discuss it, and then the Ma Tou Mountain incident happened.

In the previous life, after Lin Ruyu was brought back to Xuanzhou by An Ziyuan, her eldest aunt used many despicable means to force her to marry Zhang Zhisheng. However, they were no match for An Ziyuan.

Then, I don't know what method An Ziyuan used to win over his eldest aunt and his family, and asked his eldest aunt and Zhang Yuzhen to help An Ziyuan deceive him.

Lin Ruyu has been thinking about it over and over these days and feels that the person who chronically poisoned her mother in her previous life was probably her eldest aunt or her good daughter Zhang Yuzhen.

I just regret that I was too stupid and blind in my last life and couldn't see through anything.

Without An Ziyuan this time, she wanted to see how her eldest aunt's family would behave like monsters.

Lin Ruyu ordered, "My mother hasn't had a good rest these days. Please ask Aunt Quan to go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available and make my mother a nourishing soup to relieve inflammation."

Aunt Quan's name was Qiuxiu, and she was Fang's dowry maid. Fang named her husband's capable steward Lin Quan as his wife, and she became Fang's most capable steward's wife. This time she also went out with the boat to look for him.

"Yes." Yunjuan agreed, looking at the girl's haggard appearance, she said with distress, "Madam has asked the kitchen to steam wolfberry and bird's nest soup for you. The girl should also replenish her face. The dye on her face..."

Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched the birthmark on her right eye, "Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it after we get home. You should also tell my uncle and Shen Ge to take good care of them."

In the evening that day, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the rain that had stopped for less than half a day began to fall again.

Listening to the rain on the boat and listening to the rain in the temple are completely different feelings. Lin Ruyu gently opened the window a crack and looked outside. The river surface was relatively clean, and the rapidly falling raindrops smashed water lotus flowers on the river surface, which was very beautiful.

beautiful.

After staring at the water lotus for a while, Lin Ruyu raised her eyes and looked into the distance.

After passing through this mountain, it’s time to reach Xiacai.

If there is no rain and no obstacles from floods and floating objects, a big ship like the Lin family can sail at night, but it can't do it now. So tonight, does the big ship have to dock at the pier in Xia Cai and spend the night?

Lin Ruyu thought for a moment and decided to discuss it with her mother and second uncle.

Second Uncle Lin said, "We have to spend the night in Xiacai. Although the disaster is also bad in Xiacai, the county government office is still there and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the pier. It is much safer than in the wilderness."

Lin Ruyu asked, "Second uncle rested at the dock in Xiacai last night?"

Second Uncle Lin smiled and shook his head, "I was in a hurry to find you. I bought some food in Xiacai and stayed all night. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to reach the foot of the Guanyin Temple this morning."

Lin Ruyu was so moved that she became star-eyed, "Second uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Second Uncle Lin grinned, "I know how hard Second Uncle is working. Just wait until your father comes back. Jiaojiao will say a few kind words for Second Uncle in front of him."

Lin Ruyu straightened her waist, "Second uncle, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. I will ensure that my father will answer all your requests!"

When Second Uncle Lin heard this, he smiled happily, "Sure enough, Jiaojiao understands Second Uncle's thoughts best."

Fang said with a smile, "Tonight, we will spend the night at Xiacai Pier."

Lin Ruyu met her mother and smiled, and the mother and daughter thought of a place to go. If An Ziyuan was looking for trouble, it would be much safer for them to stop at Xiacai Pier than park in the wild or drive all night.
