Lin Ya moved her body and sat quietly next to Shui Lan.
Shui Lan raised her chin proudly and said: "Don't worry, I often went to the river to fish when I was at the farm, and I had a fire bag on me. I could pick up dry wood on the spot to make a fire. Even if the people from Tianjing Mansion still didn't find it.
Rescue here, the two of us can eat the fish I caught, and we won’t be hungry!”
In front of Lin Ya, Shui Lan, who has low self-esteem but is unconvinced, wants to show off her strengths every chance she gets.
Huozhezi is an easy-to-carry tool that is convenient for lighting and making fire.
A better method for making paper is to soak white (red) potato vines in water to thicken them, take them out and beat them flat, then add cotton and reed tassels to the soak, beat them again, dry them in the sun, and add nitrate, sulfur, rosin, and camphor.
Made of other flammable substances and various spices.
Finally, fold it into a long flat tube or twist it into a rope. It can be burned like no fire at night and placed in a bamboo tube. When in use, unscrew the lid of the bamboo tube and take it out and it will burn. It is very flammable. Many ancient wealthy families used this item to start fires.
Shui Lan is a maid, so she is naturally equipped with equipment.
"Well, you are really capable." Lin Ya smiled and seemed to be sincerely praising her.
"I came from a poor family. Unlike you, who was born into a wealthy family like the Lin family, I was born rich and prosperous! Moreover, my biological father died young. After my mother remarried, because she took me with her, my stepfather often complained that my mother brought an extra begging card.
Q.
How can you live in a farmhouse without knowing how to work?
I know how to farm, plow, dig wild vegetables, dig bird eggs, and fish in rivers.
There is no way, sometimes I don’t have enough to eat and I am hungry, so I have to find ways to find food by myself.
My mother gave birth to a younger brother. The boy is greedy. Whatever delicious food he finds, I have to save some for him.
But although he is very naughty and mischievous, he is very attached to me.
Sometimes my stepfather was angry and punished me by not allowing me to eat. He would secretly bring me food late at night... until I was selected to work as a maid in the mansion. I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know if he is still there.
As naughty and disobedient as before, I often fight with the children of the same age in the farm. Have you grown taller? Have you missed me..."
After escaping the crisis and climbing up the tree again, she felt safe enough and had nothing to do at this time. Shui Lan started talking nonstop.
From her words, Lin Ya could tell that Shui Lan hated her stepfather and resented her mother, but she had a headache and loved her half-brother.
Shui Lan was dark and thin when she was a child, but her facial features were quite attractive. She was picked by the Lin family's steward and entered the Lin family's mansion as a cleaning maid.
Working as an errand in the Lin Mansion, Shui Lan was able to eat a full stomach, and no longer had to stay in the fields to bask in the sun all day long. Her skin gradually became whiter, and her figure spread out like branches sprouting in spring.
Within a few years, she was considered a little beauty.
Until last year, I accidentally bumped into a young master in the mansion while walking. I originally thought that I would be punished, but I didn't expect that the young master was gentle and fell in love with her. He said that when she was older in two years, he would take her as his wife.
Be a concubine in the house.
Shui Lan saw that the young man was noble, handsome, friendly to others and had a good temper. From then on, his heart was tied to that young man.
She worked as a dowry maid for Lin Ya and came to plot the Jing family property. It was the young master who came to persuade her, so she happily nodded in agreement.
The young master made a condition that when Lin Ya completes the task, she will be included in the room.
Lin Ya sighed softly after hearing that Shui Lan was thinking about the past events when she lived in the farm.
There was a hint of complexity in his originally determined eyes.
Speaking of which, Shui Lan's fate is quite similar to hers, except that her mother died young, while Shui Lan's biological father died young.
Both have a younger brother.
Shui Lan's younger brother is naughty and mischievous. He is loved by his father and mother and should be very healthy.
As for Lin Ya's younger brother, she is the only one who cares about him. He does not have the respect of his father, and he is often made things difficult for his stepmother. His younger brother is much thinner than his peers, has weak bones, and often suffers from headaches and fever.
That little face is pitiful, how does it look like a young man from a wealthy family?
Thinking of her younger brother, Lin Ya's somewhat complicated expression gradually became firm again!
Shui Lan's life is pitiful, but his younger brother is also very unfortunate!
If you want to save your younger brother, you must not follow the instructions of the elders of the Lin family. Otherwise, even if all the Jing family property is eventually transferred to the Lin family, the younger brother will still not be able to escape the cruel stepmother's hands.
Now those elders are talking nice, but when they really occupy the Jing family's wealth, who of the Lin family elders will care about her and her younger brother's life and death?
Lin Ya could still see this clearly.
So she can only obey on the surface and resist secretly!
Shui Lan, don’t blame me for being cruel!
You and Du Juan are always watching, and it's hard for me to avoid the Lin family's secret moves.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ya suddenly pointed in the direction of the center of the pool and whispered, "There's such a big carp there!"
Shui Lan instinctively turned his head to look, but saw nothing.
At this time, Lin Ya had already pulled out the golden hairpin used to hold her hair, raised her jade hand high, and stabbed Shui Lan's vest hard.
The sharp tip of the gold hairpin passed through the clothes and instantly pierced Shui Lan's back.
"ah!"
A sudden pain came from his back, Shui Lan screamed in pain, and the facial features on his face were distorted.
At the same time, a strong force came from behind, and Shui Lan, who subconsciously loosened his grip on the branch because of the pain, was pushed down.
This tree has many branches. Shui Lan, who was falling from mid-air, tried to grab one to keep from falling, but because of the force of the fall, the thinner branches broke instantly.
"Help!"
Shui Lan screamed in fear, and then with a plop, he fell into the cold pool along with several broken branches.
Although she can fish, it does not mean that Shui Lan can swim. After all, she is a girl. Even when she was a child, she could not play in the river with her butt naked like a boy.
At most, you can stand on the shore and use rattan to fish, or you can directly use branches to spear fish.
It was early spring, and the weather was still a bit cool, so Shui Lan wore thicker clothes. The cotton skirt kept sinking after being soaked by water. Shui Lan fluttered around in a hurry, and then continued to
I choked on the water, and then the water slowly submerged my head.
Her long black hair gradually spread out on the water like fine silk.
One hand is still trying hard to grasp upward!
Shui Lan doesn't want to die, she hasn't lived a good life yet and hasn't married the Ninth Young Master in the mansion!
In her eyes, glory and wealth are not far away.
But after a while, her body quietly sank to the bottom of the pool.
A few streaks of bright red blood floated up and gradually spread to the surrounding areas.
Lin Ya sat on a branch, holding the branch with one hand and holding the blood-stained gold hairpin tightly with the other. Her delicate body was trembling slightly because of nervousness and fear, her face was pale, and her eyes were staring down and she fell into the water.
Shui Lan stopped struggling.
Shui Lan slapped his hands randomly, splashing water all over the place.
Gradually, in the sinking blue eyes, panic turned into despair!
The unusually clear expression came into Lin Ya's eyes, making her shiver involuntarily.
It wasn't until the water surface calmed down and the floating bloodshot traces spread and disappeared that she realized that at some point, a layer of cold sweat had broken out on her forehead and back.
Kill someone, kill someone with your own hands!
Lin Ya couldn't control her hands and feet and kept trembling.
There was shock, fear, and fear in his eyes, but at the same time, he was also determined.
If Shui Lan and Du Juan are not eliminated, she will have no way to avoid the eyes of the elders of the Lin family. In the end, she and her brother will die!
I don't know how long it took before Lin Ya gradually calmed down.
Looking at the golden hairpin stained with aqua blue blood, Lin Ya loosened her slender fingers, and the golden hairpin fell from the air, drawing a golden trajectory and falling into the pool with a thud, splashing a few small crystal water splashes.
The striker is very fast, it has four legs, and although it is huge among dogs, it is much shorter than people. When running in the woods, you don't have to bend down to avoid the dense air in the air like people do.
branches.
Although they set off later than Cheng Wu and other forbidden troops, the vanguard soon caught up with the forbidden troops and overtook them.
Qin Yu's body is tall and strong, like an iron tower.
But when it comes to speed, it is much inferior.
Fortunately, he was able to keep up with the forwards in a short period of time. After encountering the Forbidden Army led by Cheng Wu, when he saw someone with a bow and arrow ready, he immediately shouted loudly to stop the Forbidden Army from shooting the forward who looked very fierce.
Qin Yu and the other two guards were all wearing costumes customized by Jingfu guards, so after Cheng Wu recognized their identities, he ordered his men not to hurt the forwards.
"Commander Cheng, that big dog is raised by our house. It can find my young master." Qin Yu had not seen Cheng Wu confront Mrs. Jing before, and the result was a huge loss of face, but the other two guards did.
One of those present stepped forward and said.
Cheng Wu was also anxious at this time. You must know that if Jiang Long was in danger, Yao's mother said that he would take the lives of his entire clan!
And it is definitely not a simple intimidation!
Cheng Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?"
"Yeah." The guard frowned slightly before nodding affirmatively.
The reason for the moment of hesitation was that the guard didn't know that dogs' sense of smell is far more sensitive than humans.
He just heard Yao's mother say this before.
However, Mama Yao was the nanny of his young master and the two of them had an extraordinary relationship. He also believed that Mama Yao could not lie at this time, so he chose to believe it.
"Everyone, listen to the order! Follow the dog, it will lead us to find Jingjiang Dragon!"
Cheng Wu ordered very decisively at this critical moment.
After a while, everyone ran to the place where Jiang Long separated from the Jingfu guards for the first time and fled. The imperial guards who were running at the front hesitated when they saw the traces of separation underground.
The forwards were already running to the right, but they wanted to divide their forces out of caution.
When Cheng Wu saw a sergeant stopping, he immediately shouted and cursed.
But after figuring out the reason, I didn't dare to put all my money on the striker.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Cheng Wu felt that there were more people on his side anyway, so he was not afraid of dividing the troops, so he ordered: "All the sergeants who can run fast should follow that dog. I hope it really has the ability to find it."
Jing Jianglong! The rest of the sergeants will be divided into two groups according to the number of people!"
Many sergeants immediately responded to the call and took the order.
After dividing the troops, Cheng Wu asked one of his confidants, Bai Hu, to lead another team.
And he led the team in the forward running direction.
The striker is extremely spiritual. After smelling the smell of blood near the Luohan Hall, it seemed to understand something. Its eyes turned red and it became anxious and irritable.
In the woods, it moved as fast as possible.
The Imperial Guards sergeant behind him fell further and further away.
