Gongshu Yu was a little confused. How dare this soldier call him uncle?
"Sir, how big are you!" Gongshuyu almost choked, feeling that the soldier in front of him was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Could it be that you should call your father uncle?" She suddenly realized.
Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle...
This soldier definitely did it on purpose!!
Gong Shuyu touched his beard, glanced around the room, found a razor and ran out, shouting: "Wait for me!"
Liu Ruyan was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and continued to pack her things.
She stuffed all the gold and silver antiques she found into boxes and finally dragged them into the courtyard.
The sunshine in midsummer is always bright and dazzling. In the courtyard, several banyan trees spread their green branches and leaves.
The cicadas chirped under the leaves, and the sound reached my ears. With the cool wind, the green shade swayed like smoke waves.
Deep in the green shade, a person walked through the fallen leaves.
The man's hair was still dotted with crystal drops of water, his white chin was as graceful as jade, and his pair of clear eyes seemed to be filled with water mist.
He stopped and stood, his slender body covered by his bright plain silk clothes. He glanced away, as if he was seeing an elf who had strayed into the human world.
Liu Ruyan recognized this person, it was the wine cellar uncle. After shaving off his beard, he looked extremely young, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, and his face was extremely handsome.
"Soldier." He shouted, and after his voice recovered, it sounded much more pleasant.
Liu Ruyan followed the kindness and said: "It turns out he is a young man. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Gong Shuyu nodded with satisfaction, and when he smiled slightly, two shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.
At the end, he suddenly remembered something: "I will go with you when we go down the mountain later."
Liu Ruyan originally planned to send Mrs. Yu to the town, but now she wanted to take one more person with her.
"Okay, little brother, please follow me down the mountain." She responded, "I wonder, what should I call you?"
"My father-in-law Shuyu, whose courtesy name is Huai'an."
Public loser? She was quite surprised.
"Have you ever met Master Gongshu in Bianjing City?"
"I'm familiar with all kinds of carpentry work. It's not an exaggeration to claim that I'm the most famous craftsman in Bianjing City." Gongshu Yu looked at her and raised his eyebrows, as he was in high spirits.
"Can I ask if I have accepted a disciple, an old man over fifty years old?" she asked.
"There is indeed such a disciple, what's the matter?"
It seems that the machine box was made by him!
She said bluntly: "About half a year ago, a man came all the way to ask me to crack the mechanism box."
Gong Shuyu was taken aback, with a bit of defensiveness on his face: "What is your relationship with that person?"
"Enemies," she answered.
Gong Shuyu finally felt relieved and said as if recalling: "It is true that a mysterious person sneaked into my house and threatened me to open the box, but I refused. The other party threatened me that if I didn't open the box,
I won’t survive tonight.”
"So you opened it for him?"
Gongshu Yu raised his eyebrows: "What else?"
She sighed and said, "I wonder if I can see the other person's face clearly?"
Gong Shuyu was silent for a moment before replying: "He was wearing a fan hat and his face was hidden. However, the man spoke with a foreign accent and sounded like someone from the southwest..."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan pursed her lips slightly, and all the clues were connected.
It was indeed the same group of people who sneaked into the treasury, attacked Liujiazhuang, killed Cangzhu, and set up a series of crimes. The murderer came from the southwest area and was familiar with the art of witchcraft. Naturally, he could also erase the tracking incense she had laid.
After coming out of the bandits' stronghold, Gong Shuyu followed them step by step.
Since Liu Ruyan wanted to escort Mrs. Yu, she and Liu Xin left the main force and went directly to the town.
In order to take care of Mrs. Yu who had limited mobility, Liu Ruyan specially broke off a branch and let her hold one end to avoid the rugged mountain road.
The four of them walked slowly.
Liu Xin secretly looked at Gongshu Yu and saw that this boy had thin skin and tender flesh. He was worse than women. He walked slowly on the mountain road, and people would stop and wait for him from time to time.
"I asked you, are you ashamed to be a big man? Even Mrs. Yu can walk faster than you." Liu Xin stood in the middle of the mountain road with his hands on his hips and shouted, "If you can't walk, just stay here.
Have a good rest, don’t miss everyone’s schedule!”
People who have been in the military for a long time are more or less tough.
Gong Shuyu's face changed slightly and he looked at Liu Xin with a serious look.
Liu Xin immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Why are you staring? Believe it or not, I will take care of you."
Gongshu Yu's eyelashes trembled, he half-closed his eyes, and said angrily: "It's true that Huaian is useless and is dragging everyone down."
He put his hand on his lips and coughed softly, his voice even more hoarse: "Huaian has been weak since he was a child and was born to be disliked by others. This time he left the capital alone and fell into the hands of the bandits. No one came to care about him. The thieves
He thought I couldn't get the ransom back, so he simply cut off the food. If it hadn't been for the help of a few people, Huaian would have been dead long ago. Now that my benefactor says Huaian is a burden, I will leave, and I will never dare to drag my benefactor down.
"
Gongshu Yu murmured, his figure was so slender that he could be blown over by a gust of wind.
Liu Xin saw that his face was pale and almost bloodless, and when he thought about Gong Shuyu being locked up in a dark wine cellar and tortured, he couldn't help but soften his heart at this moment.
He muttered in a low voice: "I didn't say I wanted to drive you away..."
Gongshu Yu smiled lightly and said weakly: "But my benefactor just said that it was Huaian who delayed the trip."
Liu Xin shook his head quickly: "I don't mean to complain or anything like that, don't worry about it."
"Huaian will remember his kindness and righteousness in his heart, and he will never forget it in his life."
Liu Xin scratched his head in embarrassment, then picked up a branch and handed it to Gong Shuyu, asking him to walk carefully and slowly, escorting him all the way, just like a hen guarding its young.
Liu Ruyan saw these actions, but she didn't expect that Gongshu Yuren would do things twice before and after, just to see what others were doing.
"What a pure and unpretentious Chacha." Ye Xun smiled intriguingly, "Host, please learn a little bit."
Liu Ruyan shook her head and laughed.
After returning to the town, they first settled down with Mrs. Yu, and then hired a messenger to contact her family as soon as possible.
After finishing their work, Liu Ruyan and Liu Xin rushed back to the camp. Gong Shuyu followed them and refused to leave.
"Why are you still following me?" Liu Xin frowned.
"You two have been kind to me, how dare Huaian be ungrateful."
"Hey, this is no small matter, please leave quickly." Liu Xin started to chase people away again.
Gongshu Yu looked embarrassed: "Huaian knows some crafts, maybe your army can use him in the future."
"Is it possible that you still want to join the army?"
"That's what I mean. I wonder if you two can let Huaian go out with the army?"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan completely became solemn and said, "Tell me your purpose, otherwise you will leave now."
Gong Shuyu was shocked by her attitude and had to admit: "Actually, I want to go to Prince Xing's Mansion, but the journey is far and I'm afraid something will happen again."
Liu Ruyan understood his intention, and it was obvious that after this incident, he was scared in his heart.
"But the Song Dynasty recruited regular troops, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the military camp."
She paused for a moment and then said hesitantly: "But... I am no better than ordinary people, and I have many skills, so I'd better wait until I ask the general for instructions."
After Gongshu Yu heard this, he immediately turned from worry to joy.
"In this way, I have thanked my benefactor and recommended him to me." He thanked him respectfully.
Liu Ruyan opened her mouth, unable to speak.
She waved her hand: "Okay, okay, there's no need to say any more polite words, and there's no need to put on airs in front of me."
Gongshu Yu's face suddenly stiffened.
This little soldier started arguing with him again. It turns out that soldiers are all idiots, arrogant and vulgar!
