"It's so miserable, it's so miserable..."

After Mr. Lin returned to the boat and changed his clothes, he sat at the table and couldn't help but sigh, "The An family has so many coffins that they can't even fit in the house, so they can only set up coffins in the funeral shed in the courtyard. An Ziyuan saw that only half of them were left.

It’s my life.”

Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes. Although the flood came early, Cai'an's family still died in the flood just like the previous generation.

In the last life, An Ziyuan, who returned to Cai for funerals, mentioned after returning to Xuanzhou that the An family's funeral shed was erected in the Yaowang Temple. The Yaowang Temple was built with money donated by the An family. Speaking of family members, An Ziyuan forbeared

Can't stop crying.

Lin Ruyu, who had not yet found her mother and A Heng at that time, felt that she was in the same boat as him, so when An Ziyuan tearfully said that she would depend on her in the future, Lin Ruyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

Looking back carefully now, the look in his eyes at that time did not look like he had just lost his parents, wife and children.

Mrs. Fang wondered, "Even if the flood comes suddenly, the An family has a big business and a lot of servants. How can the entire family be left without a single survivor?"

Mr. Lin replied, "I heard from Manager Wang that a few days before the flood, An Ziyuan's parents, wife and children were feeling unwell, and they asked the doctor to go to the house for medical treatment many times. Perhaps it was because of their frailty that they could not

Just hold on."

Not feeling well? Lin Ruyu asked, "Did Manager Wang tell me what disease An's family has?"

The whole family fell ill and died in the flood. This was something unusual.

"I didn't ask." Mr. Lin looked at the appearance of his sister-in-law and niece and felt that something was going on here, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Fang glanced at the window and signaled her second brother to be careful that there were ears in the partition wall. It was not inconvenient to say anything at this time.

Second Master Lin immediately understood that the most important thing tonight was to prevent people from finding out that Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge were on the boat, so he changed his words and said, "Sister-in-law still has a wound on her head. It's getting late today, so early..."

"Madam, Second Master," the boy outside the door reported, "there is a man who calls himself Chen Hong of Wusha Town and wants to board the ship to see the Madam."

Chen Hong is chasing him? Thinking of An Ziyuan's men and gray-clothed assassins who might be spying on him, Fang immediately had a plan, and said with a joyful face, "Ask him on board quickly."

"Mother……"

Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched her ears, indicating that her mother had ears across the wall, and then reminded her, "It's raining heavily outside, so Uncle Hong's clothes must be soaked. Should we let Uncle Rui take him to change clothes first?"

The mother and daughter really wanted to go together. Fang smiled and nodded her daughter's forehead, "Go and see A Heng. It's enough that my mother and second uncle are here."

Shen Ge was hiding under the bed in Aheng's room.

Lin Ruyu arrived at A Heng's room and found that he was pacing with a red face, so she gave him a thumbs up, sat at the table, held her chin up and stared at the screen, repeatedly speculating on the situation in front of her, hoping to find out and fill in the gaps.

, nip problems in the bud.

Behind the screen, Shen Ge, who was under the bed, turned his head and saw through the gap under the screen the pink embroidered shoes on Lin Ruyu's feet.

See no evil, Shen Ge immediately closed his eyes. But the pair of embroidered shoes was deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be removed.

Lin Ruyu outside was completely unaware and was still carefully considering the situation.

Knowing that the big ship was going to pass through Xiacai, Lin Ruyu was afraid that An Ziyuan would attack Shen Ge, so she also made arrangements in advance to hide Shen Shangzhi's whereabouts...

After Ma Sanshu found Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge, he hid them in wooden boxes and carried them aboard the ship. After they got on the ship, Lin Ruyu directly assigned someone to take care of them, and no one else was allowed to go to the second floor of the ship to pry.

An Ziyuan's people have already questioned Guan Yong and the Lin family manager. Based on Lin Ruyu's inference, An Ziyuan will definitely send people on board to find out the truth.

Everyone who knows that Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge are on the boat are trustworthy. Even if An Ziyuan's people come to eavesdrop, they can't hear anything; there are so many people guarding the boat, unless they forcefully kill them, they can't even think about it. Find the two people hiding.

With An Ziyuan's crazy energy, he could send people pretending to be men in gray to rush onto the ship and kill people. It was not impossible for him to do it.

Moreover, Lin Ruyu is worried that he will not only attack Shen Ge, but also want to take the opportunity to get rid of his mother and A Heng.

Therefore, many arrangements made by Lin Ruyu and her mother are

In order to make An Ziyuan's people believe that Shen Ge was not on the ship and his mother and A Heng could not be found.

Chen Hong's sudden visit can distract An Ziyuan's people. If he can't hide it, force must be used...

Lin Ruyu clenched her fist, "Come and try the fishing net this girl opened to see if it is strong enough!"

After all, this was at the gate of the city, guarded by officers and soldiers. No matter how crazy An Ziyuan was, he would not dare to kill people wantonly.

Chen Hong, who had a sloppy beard, red eyes, and was soaked to the skin, was led to the guest room on the ship to change clothes. Lin Rui, who was waiting for him to change clothes, brought the clothes forward and whispered a few words. Chen Hong lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes. Bright light, nod gently.

After changing his clothes, Chen Hong hurried to the living room on the second floor of the ship, sat down with Mr. Fang and Mr. Lin separately, exchanged a few words and talked about business.

Chen Hong asked, "According to the order of the family leader, we came here to look for the great uncle of the Chen family who was washed away by the flood. My great uncle's name was Chen Zhi. He was over sixty years old, and his beard and hair were all white. Madam, have you ever seen such an old man all the way here?" ?」

Fang shook his head in a dignified manner, "I've never met him before. There was only one old man in the Guanyin Temple at that time. His surname was Guan, and he, his wife, and son were all on the cargo ship behind. We didn't meet any other old man along the way. .”

"That Mr. Guan is definitely not the person I'm looking for." Chen Hong stood up and clasped his fists, "In that case, I won't bother my wife and second master anymore. We'll see you later."

Fang stood up to greet the guests, "It's getting late today, and it's raining heavily outside. Why don't I rest on this boat for one night and leave tomorrow?"

Chen Hong shook his head, "I still have two brothers on the boat outside. We still have a mission and we don't dare to delay."

Fang had no choice but to ask Uncle Lin to see the guest off. When he left the room, he gave another warning:

"Ge'er left a message this morning and secretly set off from the Guanyin Temple to look for Mr. Dongzhu. If you meet Shen Ge on the way to find him, be sure to tell him to be more careful. If there is any difficulty, ask him to go to the Lin family store in various prefectures and counties. , I have given instructions that as long as he comes to visit, the Lin family will respond to all requests. The same goes for my benefactor, if there is any difficulty, please do not be polite to us."

"Thank you, Madam. If I encounter Shen Ge down here, I will definitely convey Madam's words to you. Please stay." Chen Hong said goodbye with his fists clasped, and he jumped off the ship with an umbrella and landed on his own boat.

The two Chen family members hiding in the boat awning quickly asked, "Brother Hong, how are you doing?"

Chen Hong sat on the bow of the boat holding an umbrella, shaking his head and sighing, "They didn't meet my uncle, we have to keep looking."

"Where are we going to find this torrential flood?" the people on the boat said in despair.

"Just do your best and obey fate." Chen Hong said gracefully, "Mrs. Lin also asked us to keep an eye on it. If we meet Shen Ge, we can give her a message..."

"I never thought that Shen Ge is so talented. This kid will definitely have a great future." Another person on the boat was full of praise for Shen Ge.

"I think he will definitely be able to find Mr. Dongzhu..."

The three of them rowed the boat away from the big ship while talking, and discussed where to go next to find the great uncle of the Chen family.

After they left, a dark shadow clinging to the Lin family's boat like a bat slid down silently. As soon as the water lotus swung open, it was smashed to pieces by the vertically falling rain.
