161-170

Chapter 161: Someone is sabotaging, please catch me. I have been working as

a thug for many years, and I have never heard such a ridiculous request. I couldn't help but look at Lin Xuezhu twice.

Lin Xuezhu smiled harmlessly, with a sincere face.

The thug thought that this girl was not mentally normal, so after cursing a few words, she decided to lock the door and leave.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuezhu stopped them, "Strong men, please stay."

"What do you want to do again?" The thug turned his head impatiently.

What greeted them was a handful of powder covering their heads and faces.

The powder is colorless and odorless, but a little intoxicating.

The two thugs' eyes were blurred for a moment, then they fell to the ground.

This unexpected turn of events made the dozen or so girls in the room dumbfounded.

They stared at Lin Xuezhu in disbelief, as if they were more afraid of her.

"Which of your girls' brother escaped last night?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

No one answered.

Lin Xuezhu was speechless. "That child was rescued by me and is now in the city. I'm here to take you out."

Still no one spoke.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to drag the two thugs into the house, take off the clothes of one of them, and put it on himself.

He grabbed the scattered hair, put it into a bun on the top of his head, tied it with a piece of cloth, and planned to go out to do something.

"Girl." Someone finally spoke weakly.

Lin Xuezhu turned around and looked at the girl who spoke.

When she stared at her, the girl couldn't help but flinch, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "Miss Yanghua was taken away by the steward last night and she hasn't come back yet. We estimate that she is probably in danger."

Lin Xuezhu She immediately realized that the girl she was talking about was the little boy's sister.

She helped her brother escape, probably expecting that she would end up like this.

However, it was her sacrifice that made people aware of what happened to these girls and gave them a chance to be rescued.

Lin Xuezhu said decisively: "Don't make any noise, I'll go out and take a look."

Those girls didn't dare to say anything. After being arrested these days, no matter how normal they were, they were frightened.

Seeing that the girls were silent, Lin Xuezhu was about to go out when she suddenly remembered something.

Then she came back and said, "If you have any hatred or resentment in your heart, you can vent it on these two people."

After saying that, she locked the door and left.

After walking a few steps, I met an old acquaintance, Guo Zhuang.

Guo Zhuang had just received a few copper coins from the steward. Because it was too little, he was cursing.

In a blink of an eye, I saw that the person opposite looked familiar.

He glanced at it a few more times unconsciously, and almost peed his pants in fear.

Wasn't the strong woman imprisoned in the woodshed? Why did she come out for a walk now?

Lin Xuezhu laughed and said, "Guo Zhuang, are you making money on both sides?"

Guo Zhuang suddenly felt guilty and said with a smile: "This is not just an easy thing, but the money given by the steward is enough to buy a bowl of tea. , even drinking is not enough. My heart is still for strong women, really."

Lin Xuezhu ignored his glib words and asked him, "Want to make more money?

"

Guo Zhuang was confused.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Take me for a walk around this building. You can take as much money as you want." "

Are you kidding? There are thugs everywhere here. The two who just took you to the woodshed are responsible for keeping an eye on you. Those girls." At this point, Guo Zhuang suddenly asked, "Where were those two people?"

"They were knocked unconscious by me and thrown into the woodshed," Lin Xuezhu replied.

Guo Zhuang's eyes immediately became complicated when he looked at her.

Is it reasonable for a woman to knock out two strong men?

Just then, several thugs came over.

Guo Zhuang quickly changed his position and blocked Lin Xuezhu's face.

The thugs walked past him and joked: "I heard that you made a huge sum of money. If you have time another day, would you

like to treat me to a drink?" "That's right, you are so smart, you won't get rich Who is getting rich!"

Several people joked and walked away with a smile.

Guo Zhuang rolled his eyes several times at their backs.

These people like to watch other people's jokes when they have nothing to do, and they are so full that they are full of them.

Guo Zhuang thought of the one hundred taels he was about to get, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

After he took the money and left, these people were still talking.

Just let them rot here!

When the thugs were no longer visible, Lin Xuezhu asked, "How many thugs are there in your yard?"

Guo Zhuang scratched his head, "How should I put it, there are as many thugs as there are girls, at least forty or fifty. " "One."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuezhu realized that things here were not simple.

It's just a flower building, but it actually has so many thugs.

It is enough to show that this flower building is an important point of contact between King Qing and Marquis Fengping.

Although Lin Xuezhu had space, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He took out his bamboo whistle and blew a few syllables.

As soon as the whistle blew, Lu Mo jumped down from the roof.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Forty or fifty thugs, all like him, can they handle it?"

After saying that, he pointed at Guo Zhuang.

Lu Mo whispered: "Give me half an hour."

Guo Zhuang felt like he was insulted, but the other party was a financial sponsor and was holding his life, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Lu Mo just did what he said and ran up to the roof in a flash.

After a few twists and turns, the thugs in the backyard were eliminated.

Lin Xuezhu was about to follow him to search, but in a blink of an eye he saw that Guo Zhuang was still there and said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Aren't you going to make money?" Guo Zhuang looked confused.

Lin Xuezhu waved her little hand, "Who told you not to make a decision just now? Now that my help is here, do you think you are still needed?"

"Female warrior..." Guo Zhuang felt aggrieved.

Why, he can't think about it anymore when he encounters unreasonable demands?

Lin Xuezhu said ruthlessly: "I don't have idle people under my command. You go find five carriages and wait for us at the back door. Also, if anyone wants to run away from the back door, stop them."

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhuang realized this mission. It's not simple either.

It seems that the money was not in vain.

After Lin Xuezhu finished explaining, regardless of whether Guo Zhuangtong disagreed, he turned around and followed Lu Mo to Chunfeng Tower.

There was nothing of value in the backyard, it was all the servants' few possessions, so she didn't commit any crime.

As for the real Chunfeng Tower, there are too many good things.

However, Lin Xuezhu didn't want most of the property.

She was afraid of making her space dirty even if she put it into the space.

She has other wonderful uses for these things.

Lu Mo is still very strategic in combat, and he knows how to stab people in the dark.

At that time, almost everyone in Chunfeng Tower was preparing for the big shot coming tomorrow.

As he was doing this, he discovered that the person sent out on errands had not returned yet, so he quickly notified the manager.

The steward led people to check around, only to find that more than half of his men had been killed.

He suddenly yelled, "If anyone is causing sabotage, catch them! If you want to see them alive, if you die, you want to see their corpses!"

Following his roar, the remaining thugs cheered and gathered together, looking around with great vigilance.

When Lu Mo saw this situation, he stopped pretending and immediately jumped down from the roof and stood in the middle of a group of thugs.

Chapter 162: Can she still be saved?

A melee began.

With Lu Mo as the center of the circle, he was surrounded by a group of thugs.

As for the fighting situation, it can be said to be intense or not intense.

What's exciting is that there are indeed a lot of people. At first glance, it looks like a vast sea.

What's not intense is that there are so many people, but the combat effectiveness is not very good, and they are basically beaten in seconds at close range.

This war was too easy for Lu Mo.

When the steward saw something was wrong, he reached out and tapped Lin Xuezhu.

He hated the iron but said: "What are you standing for? Protect me!"

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu Ma slipped to his side and made a defensive posture.

Then, while the steward continued to mobilize his troops, he picked up a brick and knocked him unconscious.

Several of the personal protection thugs were stunned.

Why are there people doing evil things to their own people?

Lin Xuezhu rolled his eyes at them and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up!"

"Oh oh."

Several thugs fainted when they saw the person they wanted to protect. There was no need to stay here anymore, so they rushed towards Lu Mo. .

There is no doubt that another wave of heads have been sent away.

Lu Mo didn't stop until Lin Xuezhu was the only one left standing among all the people wearing thug uniforms.

Suddenly, they heard Guo Zhuang's voice coming from the backyard, "Female warrior, this old madam tried to run away, but I caught him."

Lu Mo and Lin Xuezhu looked at each other, turned and walked towards the backyard.

But within a few breaths, a middle-aged lady wearing heavy makeup came back.

"Hey, the executives are here." Lin Xuezhu glanced at the old madam.

The old madam was so frightened that she peed her pants. Before she could do anything, she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Young lady, have mercy on me. I'm just a person who works under orders. All the bad things in this building are done by the manager."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at her coldly and said, "I'll give you a chance to make good. Explain it. "

The old bustard is a man who is accustomed to the world of romance, and he is really clever.

No need to ask any more questions, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, she learned everything she knew.

This Chunfeng Tower is indeed the property of the Zhou family, and the person coming tomorrow is indeed Xie Yunkai, the son of Feng Pinghou.

This boy was tired of playing with the ordinary flower house girls, and this time he specifically asked for a taste of "game food".

For this reason, Chunfeng Tower started preparing early in the morning.

This includes but is not limited to catching girls from nearby villages and counties who have not yet left the government.

Some of these girls are quite pretty and will be retained by Chunfeng Tower in the future.

But most of them are just to make up the numbers, to show their respect for Xie Yunkai.

When this task is completed, the girls who make up the number will be thrown out of the city.

As for whether they can survive and return to their previous lives, no one cares.

Lin Xuezhu rolled his eyes.

It's really just for one person's bad taste, regardless of the lives and lives of so many people.

Lin Xuezhu said to Lu Mo: "Send a message to your cousin. Just say that we have done it here. He can do it himself."

"Okay." Lu Mo took out his whistle and blew several times into the sky.

Lin Xuezhu asked the old madam, "Where's Yang Hua?"

The old madam looked confused and asked, "What Yang Hua?"

"It was her brother who ran away and was taken away by you." Lin Xuezhu was a little impatient.

The girl who co-authored was arrested by them and can't even have her own name?

At least you have some basic respect for people!

Only then did the madam react and said with a guilty conscience: "She was thrown into the dungeon by the steward."

"Lead the way." Lin Xuezhu said briefly.

The madam glanced at the unconscious steward, unsure whether to betray him or not.

Lin Xuezhu sneered, "Why are you looking at him? He is a dead man, do you still want to ask for advice from a dead man?"

"Don't dare." The madam was trembling, thinking that the situation was better than the person, she couldn't say anything Give in one or two.

So, he took Lin Xuezhu and opened the darkroom located in the utility room on the first floor of Chunfeng Building.

Lin Xuezhu felt a little bored when she saw her nagging.

The actions of the Zhou family and Prince Qing are really shady everywhere, and there are dark rooms everywhere.

This kind of collusive interest group, if they don't hang their heads on the city tower, will not be sorry for the people who have been harmed by them.

Lin Xuezhu followed the old bustard and asked abruptly: "This dungeon of yours should lead to other places, right?"

She asked this, firstly, based on the Zhou family's usual urine, and secondly, there was an element of fraud.

Unexpectedly, the madam's legs went weak and she almost knocked him.

This strong woman has a good understanding of ghosts and gods, and even knows the secrets that are not told in their flower house.

"This secret passage can lead to the outside of the city." The old bustard told the truth.

"Oh?" Lin Xuezhu became interested.

If she was really sleepy, someone would hand her a pillow, and she was worried about how to transport those girls out of the city!

Seeing Lin Xuezhu thinking deeply, the old bustard said in one breath: "Sometimes when noble people come to visit, they also take this secret passage."

"What else?" Lin Xuezhu continued to ask.

"There are also things to transport out of the city, such as money and so on. If it's not convenient to go through the city gate, just take the secret passage." The old bustard said.

Lin Xuezhu sneered.

The communication between King Qing and the Zhou family, as well as between King Qing and Marquis Fengping, was quite close.

Things that we dare not do on the surface are done underground.

This roundabout tactic works very well.

"Female warrior, this is Yang Hua." The old bustard stopped and pointed to a cell.

Lin Xuezhu looked in the direction of her finger and saw a girl covered in injuries, lying alone on the cold ground, looking lifeless.

"Bring her out." Lin Xuezhu said coldly.

The old bustard wiped his sweat in embarrassment and said, "The key is with the steward. Unless he comes, no one can touch the people here."

"Oh, really?" Lin Xuezhu said, pulling out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, He put it directly on the Madam's forehead and looked at her playfully.

The madam was so frightened that she almost peed. She trembled and said, "You strong woman, you can kill me, but I can't get in without the key!"

"Get away!" Lin Xuezhu lost all patience and kicked her hard.

With a click, she kicked a big hole in the wooden cell door.

This move made the madam look stupid.

Lin Xuezhu twisted her ankle and felt quite satisfied.

Now that she has strength, if she raises her force value, she will become perfect.

"Go ahead, are you still waiting for me to do something?" Lin Xuezhu's eyes were like daggers, shooting at the old bustard.

The madam was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, quickly got into the cell through the hole, and carried Yang Hua on his back.

She is not yet fifty years old, and she has lived a good life these past few years and has good physical strength.

Although he gritted his teeth carrying Yang Hua on his back, he could barely complete the task.

After walking for a while, the two came out of the secret passage.

When Lin Xuezhu saw Lin Chengyao standing next to Lu Mo with his hands folded, he seemed to have seen the great savior.

"Uncle, show this girl quickly. Can she be saved?" Lin Xuezhu pointed to the poplar flower on the old bustard's back.

When Lin Chengyao saw the injury, the expression on his face suddenly changed from numbness to concern.

He grabbed Yang Hua's wrist and felt his pulse.

Chapter 163: How about we also vent our anger?

While Lin Chengyao was feeling the pulse, Lin Xuezhu quietly changed the tea in the teapot to spiritual spring water and gave it to Yang Hua to drink.

Although Yanghuaren was unconscious, he lay in the dungeon for a day and a night without any water or rice. Out of instinct, he still started sucking big mouthfuls.

"My eldest niece, she was seriously injured, but she should be able to survive. However, she needs to rest." Lin Chengyao said with concern.

Lin Xuezhu understood what he meant.

To completely free these girls from their misery, they must be sent out of the city as soon as possible.

But in that case, it is inevitable that the journey will be tiring and you will not be able to rest.

In Yang Hua's current condition, if she keeps struggling, her life may be at risk.

"You guys look here, I'll go to the backyard to see those girls." Lin Xuezhu said.

"Cousin-in-law, call me if you need anything." Lu Mo told her.

Lin Xuezhu nodded slightly and went straight to the backyard.

Lin Xuezhu was happy when she opened the door of the woodshed.

I saw only a dozen girls, still looking timid, huddled in the corner obediently.

If she hadn't seen the two thugs she left here with bruised noses and swollen faces, she would have almost thought that these girls hadn't moved at all.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu coming, a dozen girls all lowered their heads, respectful and timid.

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "You have beaten me like this, and you are still pretending to be weak. This is inappropriate. Come with me, and after I finish handling the matter, you can go home."

"Really?" Some people don't believe it. .

Lin Xuezhu didn't answer. She just waved to them and said, "Hurry up. If you have a grudge or a grudge, there won't be a shop like this after passing this village."

After saying that, she walked out first.

Several girls followed her out with a skeptical attitude.

I saw all the thugs in the yard lying on the ground, looking like they could no longer dominate.

Then he shouted to the others in surprise: "It's true, we are really saved, come out quickly."

Someone shouted, and several more timid girls also walked out of the woodshed.

Their faces were filled with happiness and joy as if they were seeing the light of day again.

Lin Xuezhu took them into Chunfeng Tower.

At this time, all the girls in the building were waiting on the first floor.

Guo Zhuang was rummaging through various houses for valuables, and when he found them, they were piled next to the stairs.

Lin Xuezhu looked around the crowd and said, "I know that my arrival has ruined some people's jobs. I am not a living Bodhisattva, and I have no idea of ​​​​saving all sentient beings. Therefore, the choice is yours."

She pointed to the stairs . A pile of gold and silver jewelry, and continued: "Whoever wants to go home, take the money and leave. If you don't want to leave, find your own way out."

"We are leaving." The dozen or so girls who were just captured said without hesitation. .

They dream of escaping from this place.

Compared with them, the girls coming downstairs were somewhat hesitant.

Lin Xuezhu can understand these girls very well.

They all come from poor families.

Either the family could no longer survive, so they sold them to Hualou.

Either the family favors boys over girls and only uses them as tools to exchange money.

But no matter what the situation is, they are already trapped in the quagmire and it is not easy to get ashore.

What's more, years of experience have left them with no other means of making a living than pleasing men.

Without Hualou, they may not be able to support themselves at all.

Lin Xuezhu didn't speak, and just watched quietly as the pile of gold and silver jewelry piled up beside the stairs.

Then, she was surprised to find that the eyes of those girls who were originally hesitant to leave gradually wavered...

So it's not that they can't get rid of this industry, but the temptation is not big enough, right?

Lin Xuezhu felt both funny and lucky.

At this moment, the steward coughed a few times and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Xuezhu, and he immediately stretched out a finger and pointed at her tremblingly.

"Bold maniac, do you know where this is and whose property it belongs to? You dare to act wild here? Do you think your life is too long?"

Lin Xuezhu took out a jade sign from his arms and put it there The steward's eyes swayed.

"Is it because I have a long life, or do you have a long life? Why don't you open your dog eyes and take a closer look?"

The steward looked at it and felt that the jade plaque looked very familiar.

Sure enough, he opened his eyes wide to see.

Then, his face suddenly turned blue and purple.

"Young Master?" He said tremblingly, completely confused.

This shouldn't be the case.

The young master came to inspect the property, why would he help outsiders destroy his own business?

But that jade sign is indeed unique to the young master, and everyone in Zhou Ji knows it.

Just when he was confused, Guo Zhuang ran down from upstairs.

The last wave of gold and silver jewelry that was collected was placed next to the stairs.

He said in his mouth: "I didn't expect that there are so many good things in this flower building." After saying that, he ran to the steward, bent down and said: "You make so much money, but you are so harsh on your servants

, bah!"

The old phlegm hit the manager's head.

"You!" The steward's face turned pale with anger.

Just when he was about to scold back, he was kicked by Lin Xuezhu.

Guo Zhuang saw it and wondered how he could let the strong woman do it herself!

He quickly took over the heavy responsibility and kicked the steward several times with great discernment.

Although the steward is used to being domineering and domineering, when it comes to his body and bones, he is no better than a straw bag.

It only took a few kicks to kick him until he vomited blood.

Lin Xuezhu reached out and stopped Guo Zhuang's actions.

She said: "You are the one who is the one who helps the tiger, it is not your turn to vent your anger now. Girls who are unhappy can do it themselves."

As soon as she said this, the girls in the building didn't react at all.

However, the dozen or so newly captured ones are quite ready to make a move.

They had beaten two thugs just now and had tasted the feeling of resolving their hatred. At this time, they felt itchy in their hearts.

Lin Xuezhu saw what they were thinking and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite? Come on if you want."

"Young master, you can't do this to me!"

The steward felt that if the young master wasn't crazy, then he would be.

I have been working hard for the Zhou family, why did I end up like this?

In the chaos, he suddenly remembered a rumor he heard many years ago.

It seems that the young master of the Zhou family does have some madness in him.

It seems that due to poor health, the brain is not normal either.

It seems that it is true!

However, before he had time to think about it, he was surrounded by a dozen girls and started punching and kicking him.

At first, the girls were quite reserved, and all they showed was some tricks.

But as their condition got better, their fists and kicks became more powerful.

The steward was kicked from east to west, and from south to north.

No fleshy part of his body could escape a violent beating.

What was even more outrageous was that she kicked him into the mouth, knocking out two of his front teeth.

The steward screamed and begged for mercy, but unexpectedly, this sound stimulated the other girls who did not take action.

"Sisters, you are also tired from playing. How about taking a break and letting us vent our anger?" a girl asked politely.

Chapter 164 It's Too Cruel

"Xiangqin, I value you the most, but you actually repay me with kindness?"

The steward sprayed blood from his mouth and was furious at the girl who spoke.

The girl named Xiangqin sneered and asked: "You are good to me, so you arrange for me to serve an old man? Do you know how disgusting I am?"

After saying this, Xiangqin rushed into the crowd and aimed at the person in charge. He stepped hard with his hand.

The steward's wail instantly filled the entire hall.

Lin Xuezhu frowned and said, "Girl, please take it easy. We'll gather everyone on the street soon."

As she said that, she pulled off a gauze curtain from the side and handed it over.

He said slowly: "Here, gag his mouth and then beat him."

Xiangqin glanced at Lin Xuezhu gratefully, and without saying a word, opened the steward's mouth and stuffed the gauze curtain inside.

The steward's entire mouth was filled, but Xiangqin still ignored it and continued to stuff it inside.

Looking at that piercing look, I was afraid that I wanted to choke him to death right now.

The steward struggled for his life.

Xiangqin said to the sisters behind her: "Come on, get him."

There were several girls in this building who had never been bullied by this steward.

It's okay if you can't do it normally, but now that you have the opportunity, can you not let out such a bad breath?

Seeing that the one who was really suffering was coming, the dozen newly captured girls automatically made way for them.

Then, is the real Shura field.

With the comparison of these girls, the steward felt that the dozen girls just now were considered merciful.

These girls really settled old and new grudges together, and soon tortured the steward until he could only breathe.

Even Lin Xuezhu screamed at the level of cruelty when he saw it.

She originally wanted the old madam to join the chaotic battle and experience the feeling of being "taken care of" by her girls.

When he turned around, he saw that the old madam had fainted from shock.

Okay, let's just say she escaped.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Girls, divide the money and if you want to leave, I will take you out of the city in a while."

After hearing this, many people were surprised.

Someone asked, "Don't you want this money?"

Lin Xuezhu shook her head, "It's all the money you earned, I don't want it."

"Can we really take this money?" The man didn't believe it and asked again.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "Of course, you'd better take everything you can. After all, you need money to start your life again."

Speaking of money, Guo Zhuang asked with a flattering smile, "Female warrior, my one hundred "Is there any antidote?"

"I'll give it to you when you escort these girls outside the city," Lin Xuezhu said, then asked, "Where's the carriage I asked you to find?"

"It's in the backyard." Three cars, really no more," Guo Zhuang said with some guilt.

Lin Xuezhu said he wanted five cars, but he only got three. He wouldn't be offended, right?

Lin Xuezhu knew that he had tried his best, so she would not be angry with him.

She originally thought that with so many girls, five carriages would be crowded.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the city.

But since the Chunfeng Tower has a secret passage leading outside the city, she doesn't need to transport the girls out in a carriage.

So, Lin Xuezhu said: "Guo Zhuang, please drive the carriage outside the city first and wait for us there."

"I drive three carriages by myself?" Guo Zhuang asked in disbelief.

"Is there any problem?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Guo Zhuang shivered all over and said quickly: "No problem, I'll catch up."

After that, he rubbed oil on his soles and went to the backyard.

Lin Xuezhu said to the girls: "I just asked Guo Zhuang to dig out your deeds of betrayal. You can find it yourself. We don't have much time. Get your things quickly and let's go out of the city."

"Cousin, what should we do with these people? Lu Mo asked.

"Tie them up, throw them into the dungeon, and lock them. If someone comes to save them, they will be lucky. If no one comes to save them, they will just wait to die." Lin Xuezhu said coldly.

Although those thugs are also workers, if they are not locked up, they will not be able to wait until the manager recovers, and they will have to be sent out to chase the girls.

Lu Mo got the explanation and quickly tied up the person with his hands and feet.

The girls repaid their kindness and took the initiative to help Lu Mo.

If there wasn't enough rope, we would tear down the gauze and tear it into strips of cloth.

In less than half an hour, forty or fifty thugs were tied into rice dumplings and thrown into the dungeon.

In the end, only the madam and the steward were left.

As soon as the girls saw these two people, they became filled with hatred and became ruthless.

The two were tied into fat rice dumplings with ropes, and the meat exploded from the gaps in the ropes.

After tying him up, the old bustard was strangled to wake up.

Just as she was about to cry for her father and mother, Xiangqin led her away and stuffed her mouth with cloth.

The girls thought for a while, then tied the two of them back to back and threw them alone in a cell.

In each cell, they had several chains and locks on them.

Then he threw the key into the artificial lake in the middle of Chunfeng Building.

These actions made Lin Xuezhu extremely happy.

Sure enough, if people do not perish in silence, they will explode in silence.

Well done girls!

After dealing with these people, the girls each found their own contracts.

The dozen or so newly captured girls were all kind-hearted. Each of them only took one piece of food and left the rest to the other girls.

Those girls were not polite. They took away all the valuables they could take away, and smashed the ones they couldn't take away with them.

Another half an hour later, Chunfeng Tower had changed from a mess to another form of mess.

In short, it is more dilapidated.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the sky, it was almost evening.

She asked: "Uncle, have you finished purchasing the medicinal materials?"

Lin Chengyao replied: "I have finished purchasing, thanks to the money given by my eldest niece."

He finally realized what it felt like to just go into the store and buy without considering the cost.

Don't tell me, it's quite refreshing.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "Uncle, get back on the carriage and let my husband and I go out of the city first. If it's too late, the city gate will be closed. You and Guo Zhuang wait for me outside the city, and I will take these girls out of the city to meet you later."

"Okay." Lin Chengyao knew that all he had to do was follow what Lin Xuezhu decided.

Without saying much, he turned around and went to find Yuan Xiu on the carriage at the door.

When he met his niece-in-law, he told him in detail what happened in Chunfeng Tower.

And told the little boy that his sister was still alive and would meet him outside the city later.

After hearing this, Yuan Xiu raised a smile on his lips.

With a whip, he drove his horse out of the city.

Lin Xuezhu, who was in the Chunfeng Tower, took dozens of girls and evacuated from the underground secret passage.

Yang Hua was being carried by several girls and was slowly waking up.

Lin Xuezhu saw this and fed her another Vitality Pill.

Although Yang Hua was confused about the situation in front of her, she also knew that she was rescued.

So, he wisely kept silent so as not to cause trouble to everyone.

The secret passage was very long, and the group of people stumbled and walked for more than half an hour before finally emerging from a cave.

As soon as he came out of the cave, Lin Xuezhu saw his own carriage lined up neatly outside along with the three carriages that Guo Zhuang had driven over.

Chapter 165 I've hired someone for you again.

"Husband!" Lin Xuezhu saw it at a glance, opened the car curtain, and was waiting for her Yuan Xiu.

"Husband, you are so smart, you actually found the exit of the secret passage!"

She couldn't help but sigh, you are worthy of being a male protagonist, he is reliable in doing things.

Yuan Xiu looked at her with a smile.

"Sister!" The little boy jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Yang Hua.

Yang Hua was placed on the ground by several girls, and some clothes were thoughtfully placed on her.

Seeing her younger brother running towards her, Yang Hua had a look of surprise on her face.

"Xiao Shu, why are you here?" Yang Hua asked.

Yang Shu looked at Lin Xuezhu and replied, "It was this sister who saved me."

Facing Yang Hua's grateful look, Lin Xuezhu said, "Miss Yang Hua, thank you for your wit and finding a way to let your brother escape. Otherwise, he would have No one knows the evil deeds of Chunfeng Tower, and you can't be saved."

"Thank you, madam and gentlemen, for saving your life." Even though he was injured, Yang Hua forced himself to salute Lin Xuezhu and others.

Seeing this, the other girls also bowed down.

"You're welcome." Lin Xuezhu said: "There are three carriages here. You can allocate them among yourselves. We have something to do and we can't delay. We will be saying goodbye to you soon."

"We haven't asked our benefactors their names yet. "Xiangqin stood up and said.

Lin Xuezhu waved her little hand, "We meet by chance, no need to worry about it."

She said this, and Xiangqin and others understood.

In order to save them, they offended the Zhou family, and even Fengpinghou Mansion and Prince Qing. It was only natural that they did not want to reveal their names.

In this case, they stopped asking.

"Female warrior, where are my antidote and silver?" Guo Zhuang and the other girls finished talking to Lin Xuezhu, then stood up and asked sarcastically.

Without Lin Xuezhu asking, Lu Mo gave him money and a pill.

Guo Zhuang took the pill and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking the pill, a wave of heat rose from the stomach, which felt quite comfortable.

"Thank you, strong woman." Guo Zhuang saluted quickly.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "From now on, if you get money, be a good person. Working as a thug will only help the tyrants to do evil and harm your moral integrity."

"I know, I know." Guo Zhuang said with a smile, and then asked uneasily: "Female warrior "Is my poison really cured?"

Don't wait until he's gone and get poisonous hair or something.

When the time comes, the sky will not work and the earth will not respond. How can he deal with it?

Lin Xuezhu suppressed a smile and said, "You weren't poisoned in the first place. What I gave you was just an ordinary tonic."

"What?" Guo Zhuang was completely confused.

"But I felt dizzy at the time, which was indeed a symptom of poisoning." He recalled.

Lin Xuezhu nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, people who wake up after being drugged have the same symptoms."

Guo Zhuang suddenly realized.

However, he did not blame Lin Xuezhu.

If it weren't for this strong woman, he wouldn't have earned a hundred taels of silver.

Compared with the dishonest people like the steward of Chunfeng Tower, this strong woman does what she says and gives money as promised. She is simply not too benevolent!

Lin Xuezhu turned around to get on the carriage, thought for a moment and then turned back and said: "Girls, if it is difficult to make a living, why not start over in another place. My husband and I are about to go to the north. If you girls are interested, you can also go north. "

Thank you, madam, for your advice." Xiangqin led the girls and bowed down again.

Lin Xuezhu waved goodbye to them, closed the car curtain, and gave Yuan Xiu a big wink.

"How are you, husband? I've hired someone for you again."

"Madam is very smart." Yuan Xiu nodded to her with satisfaction.

The interaction between the couple made Lin Chengyao confused.

Asked: "Niece, what do you mean by recruiting people?"

"It's just to bring people to the northern border!" Lin Xuezhu explained: "After we arrive in the northern border, we will inevitably rebuild the northern border. The more people we have, the more people we have." The better. Now when we meet homeless people, we will drag them to the north. Those who have money can help stimulate the economy, and those who have no money can also contribute. Anyway, we will not lose."

Lin Chengyao heard this . , apart from being shocked, my admiration for my eldest niece rose to a new level.

She is indeed the best prepared for a rainy day. She has even considered what will happen after arriving in the North.

After sighing for a while, Lin Chengyao suddenly remembered something.

So, he carefully took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Lin Xuezhu.

"Eldest niece, your aunt and I have roughly figured out the formula for this Spring Returning Pill. I'll give this pill back to you, so you should keep it well," Lin Chengyao said.

Lin Xuezhu took the elixir and asked: "There is only the formula, but what about the refining process?"

Lin Chengyao shook his head and said: "The process of refining the elixir is as small as a thousand miles. To fully understand it, a lot of work is required. We are on the way to exile. We have no medicinal materials and no conditions. There is nothing we can do

. ""It doesn't matter, uncle, write down the list of medicinal materials first, and we will collect them together until we get to the north," Lin Xuezhu said.

Lin Chengyao hesitated and said, "Niece, this Spring Pill was developed by Zhou Shenyi. It would be unkind for us to use it like this."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at the uncle with interest, with some appreciation in his expression.

In the era she lived in before, this was called intellectual property and should be protected.

But now, if Lin Chengyao has this kind of consciousness, he is really a gentleman.

"Uncle, it's better like this." Lin Xuezhu suggested: "We are studying this spring-returning elixir not to make profit from it, nor to exchange it for a future, but to cure diseases and save people. If uncle uses this elixir to save others, he will only receive the medicinal materials. All other costs are waived, what do you think?"

After saying this, Lin Chengyao felt a lot lighter.

He also knew that Huanchun Dan was a good thing.

Not to mention anything else, the various precious medicinal materials inside can extend a person's life when he is about to die.

Life extension is of little significance to ordinary people.

But if that person is an important figure, then it's a different matter.

Apart from the guilt of stealing someone else's formula, he was still quite willing to use Spring Return Pill to save people.

Seeing Lin Chengyao's face softening, Lin Xuezhu continued: "There is another point, which is the most important reason why I need my uncle to study Spring Return Pill."

"What reason?" Lin Chengyao asked.

Lin Xuezhu replied: "Some things need to be passed on and carried forward."

Lin Chengyao didn't understand.

Lin Xuezhu explained: "If Zhou Shenyi only masters the formula of a dish, then no matter how valuable the formula is, I am not interested. But what he masters is a formula that can cure diseases and save lives, and his character is so indescribable. This It's not a good thing."

Lin Chengyao understood.

A sword in the hands of a righteous person is a weapon to defend the people.

In the hands of evil people, it is a murderous weapon that can bring chaos to the world.

The eldest niece was right. As long as he didn't have to return the Spring Pill in exchange for fame and fortune, he would not go against his true intention as a doctor.

At this point, Lin Chengyao completely let go of the burden in his heart.

I immediately took out a pen and paper, intending to record in detail my experience in studying Huanchun Dan.

Chapter 166 No one is allowed to sleep until ten baskets are finished.

Yuan Xiu looked at all this and raised the corners of his mouth silently.

I don't know since when, as long as Lin Xuezhu is around him, he will laugh unconsciously.

He never knew that one person could bring him such joy.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu looking over, he silently gave her a thumbs up.

"Hehe." Lin Xuezhu leaned towards Yuan Xiu and winked mischievously.

He whispered: "Husband, Xie Yunkai will go to Fengyang City tomorrow. It's a pity that we can't leave the team for too long, otherwise we will have to meet him, the sixth one."

Yuan Xiu reached out and stroked the broken hair on her forehead, saying indifferently : "Xie Yunkai is just a small person, not worth mentioning. But what matters to me is something else."

"What is it?" Lin Xuezhu immediately pricked up his ears.

While she was causing trouble in Chunfeng Building, Yuan Xiu stayed outside.

During this period, Lin Chengyao was also sent to Chunfeng Tower by him.

She couldn't believe that he had done nothing for such a long time.

Yuan Xiu glanced at Lin Xuezhu meaningfully and said leisurely: "The Holy One has decreed to increase taxes and reduce officials' salaries. I think King Qing asked Xie Yunkai because he wanted to discuss this matter."

After hearing what Yuan Xiu said, Lin Xuezhu His eyebrows twitched.

The Dog Emperor issued an order to increase taxes and reduce officials' salaries. Isn't that because the treasury was emptied by her?

Think about it, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, let alone the king of a country.

I have no money in my hand and no confidence in my heart. No matter who I am, I won't panic!

However, this dog emperor is too eager for quick success.

If you want to make up for this wave of losses, you don't have to consider whether the people below can bear it.

Prince Qing was rebellious and definitely didn't want to wipe the dog emperor's ass.

But the imperial edict has been issued, so what if he doesn't want to?

Lin Xuezhu thought of this and looked at Yuan Xiu.

In fact, no matter how much we increase taxes and reduce expenditures, we will not be able to fill the hole as big as the national treasury in a short period of time.

For Emperor Dog and Prince Qing, the most important thing at the moment is to recover the stolen treasury.

It is thought that the exile team will soon leave the fiefdom of King Qing and enter the territory of Princess Hengyu.

Then the purpose of King Qing's invitation to Xie Yunkai is obvious. He intends to let the Xie family take over and continue to supervise and investigate Yuan Xiu.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but want to laugh.

It can only be said that Emperor Dog and Prince Qing have the right ideas and investigation directions.

But the result is that they will never be able to recover the treasury.

It's quite sad when you think about it.

But who told them not to be human beings?

This is called evil being punished!

The carriage rattled, and at nightfall, it had caught up with the exile team.

Liu Kui saw that they came back very quickly, and he felt relieved immediately.

After giving a few instructions, he went back to sleep.

The Mei sisters, on the other hand, had been restless ever since they discovered that Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu's carriage had left the group, wondering over and over where they had gone.

They asked Liu Kui to inquire, but Liu Kui remained tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.

At this moment, seeing Lin Xuezhu back, the two sisters discussed it briefly and decided to start with Lin Chengyao.

"Dr. Lin, my two sisters accidentally swallowed the poisonous fruit. Could you please ask Dr. Lin to check our pulse?" Mei Shuang came over first and said.

At that time, Lin Chengyao had just returned to his carriage and was about to tell his wife what he had experienced in the past half day.

Hearing Mei Shuang's deliberately pinched voice, he frowned at first.

"You two girls accidentally swallowed the poisonous fruit. Didn't Divine Doctor Zhou diagnose you? Divine Doctor Zhou's medical skills are better than mine. If he diagnoses and treats you, you will be fine."

Ever since Lin Chengyao wanted to let Lin Xuezhu enter Fengyang City, he After he cheated on himself in front of Liu Kui, he became less and less mentally burdened on the road to cheating on himself.

Mei Shuang was hit with a soft nail, but she was not discouraged and continued: "Zhou Shenyi diagnosed and treated my two sisters. It seemed like a righteous act, but in fact he wanted to enslave our sisters. Such a doctor has no kindness, and our sisters trust him However, Dr. Lin is a kind and honest person, and everyone who has been treated by Dr. Lin will praise him. We sisters want to be safe, so we shamelessly harassed Dr. Lin

. .

As a result, it was somewhat unjustifiable for Lin Chengyao not to diagnose and treat them.

Seeing that her husband was somewhat in a dilemma, Jiang Qishang grabbed his sleeve and shook her head.

"The eldest niece said that the two sisters have impure thoughts, so we should have less contact with them." She said directly.

Lin Chengyao reacted to his wife's advice.

He always looks at problems from a doctor's perspective.

But some people, sometimes, do not simply regard him as a doctor.

Jiang Qishuang didn't intend to say what she said behind anyone's back, so the Mei sisters listened to it very seriously.

Mei Yun immediately became unhappy and retorted: "My sisters are sincerely seeking medical treatment. Madam, why do you speak so unpleasantly?"

Jiang Qishuang replied calmly and with a smile: "What I said is true. If you find it unpleasant, Just don't listen."

"You said it in front of us, how can we pretend not to hear it?" Mei Yun said angrily.

Jiang Qishuang was waiting to reply when she heard Lin Xuezhu's voice from the side.

"So what if you heard this? You want to seek justice for yourself? My uncle is a doctor, but he charges a fee for consultation. Do you have any?"

"What kind of fee do you charge? Doctor Lin treats others, no? " Are they all free of charge?" Mei Yun was unconvinced.

Lin Xuezhu smiled scornfully, "Who told you that they don't charge for medical treatment? They haven't paid it themselves, so I'm going to find someone else. If someone is willing to pay for your medical treatment, I can ask my uncle to show it to you.

" , which really disgraced the two sisters.

Everyone knows that no one is willing to accept these two sisters ever since they joined the exile team.

Not to mention paying for their medical treatment, Zhou Shenyi wanted to squeeze out the last bit of their labor.

Just when the two sisters were speechless, Lin Xuezhu raised her voice and shouted in the direction of Zhou Shenyi, "Mr. Zhou, you have to watch your people. If you run towards me again, they will make up the story when you turn around." I don't want the basket."

This is very useful.

Zhou Shenyi, who was looking at the sky with his legs crossed, ran over in an instant, full of anger.

There was a sinister look on his pale face.

He rolled his eyes three times, looking scary.

"Why don't you go back and weave baskets? Everyone has ten baskets today, have you finished weaving them?"

He wasn't angry even if he didn't mention this. These two incompetent people each made one basket in one afternoon.

The bastards are faster than them!

"No one is allowed to sleep until we finish ten baskets today!"

After being yelled at by Zhou Shenyi, the Mei sisters lost all intention of causing trouble and quickly ran away with their tail bones between their legs.

Zhou Shenyi waited for the two of them to run away, then stared at Lin Xuezhu and asked with a suspicious and probing tone: "Ms. Lin went to Fengyang City today?"

Chapter 167 Pretending to Be Confused

Lin Xuezhu felt that among the entire exile team, only Zhou Shenyi was qualified to care about her whereabouts.

After all, with someone else's jade token, she could dominate at any time as long as she went to a place with Zhou Ji's shop.

"Yes, I went to Fengyang City." Lin Xuezhu didn't hide anything.

This matter could not have been hidden.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed across Zhou Shenyi's eyes.

Fengyang City, as long as he can enter the city, he can contact the Zhou family's shop and be rescued.

But unfortunately, he didn't have a penny on him and couldn't even pay the fee to enter the city.

You can only look at the city gate and not enter.

He is really angry!

"Ms. Lin, can you lend me ten cents? Just ten cents. When I get to Fengyang City, I will prepare a big gift to thank you." Zhou Shenyi said sincerely.

Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes and asked with a half-smile, "What kind of gift? How many thugs are you going to find this time?"

As soon as she said this, Zhou Shenyi was speechless.

Lin Xuezhu said bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, I was too kind to you last time and almost got killed by you. Do you think I will make the same mistake this time?"

Zhou Shenyi was speechless.

If you want to ask him, if he had another chance, would he attack Lin Xuezhu?

His answer is yes.

The person who offended him would be chased to the ends of the earth, and he would come back with revenge.

Therefore, he had to admit that it was a wise choice for Lin Xuezhu not to leave him any room.

Lin Xuezhu glanced at him and said calmly: "It's better to go back and supervise your people in weaving baskets. It's best to shatter some unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible."

Zhou Shenyi was unhappy, but had no choice but to leave humbly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. When he returned to his camp and saw Lin Xuelan and the Mei sisters slowly weaving baskets, he couldn't help but get angrier.

"You three losers can't weave ten baskets each in a whole day! What's the use of me keeping you? It's better to send you to the West with a bowl of poison each!"

When I heard that they were going to be fed poison, Lin Xuelan and the Mei sisters both panicked and had no choice but to speed up the basket weaving.

"Ouch!" Mei Shuang exclaimed.

Looking down at his delicate little hand, he saw a cut cut by the cane, and blood beads came out.

Mei Shuang quickly put her fingers into her mouth and licked the wound.

The stinging feeling brought tears to her eyes.

Zhou Shenyi looked at her "pretentious" look and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Aren't you two from the village? Why can't you do this job?"

When he said this, other exiled prisoners nearby also fixed their eyes on the two sisters.

They had heard from Mrs. Lin that the two sisters claimed to be villagers of Xiushui Village, but they didn't know how to do any work. It was very strange.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Among their team, there are many ladies and gentlemen who used to live a noble life.

However, after being on the road for a while, they had to learn how to survive.

There is really no one as amazingly delicate as the Mei sisters.

For a moment, everyone looked at the Mei sisters with suspicion.

The Mei sisters swallowed their anger, especially Mei Shuang, who could only use their broken fingers to continue weaving baskets.

The more I edited it, the more aggrieved I felt.

After Zhou Shenyi went to bed, Lin Xuelan also finished her ten baskets and ran to sleep.

The two sisters then looked at each other, moved quietly, and sat down somewhere a little further away from the crowd.

"Sister, this is not the way to go. Not to mention Mrs. Lin, even Zhou Shenyi suppressed us to death. If we continue like this, let alone completing the prince's mission, we sisters may be tortured to death. ." Mei Yun said angrily.

This time, Mei Shuang did not blame Mei Yun for speaking out.

Because she knew that what Mei Yun said was right.

With Lin Xuezhu around, they couldn't get close to Yuan Xiu.

Even though Prince Qing usually dotes on them, if he fails to complete the task, Prince Qing will change his attitude just as he said.

If they don't speed up, once King Qing is blamed, the two sisters will not be able to live a comfortable life, even their lives may not be saved.

Thinking of this, Mei Shuang was silent for a while and decided: "If it doesn't work out, let's get rid of Lin Xuezhu first."

"How to solve it?" Mei Yun suddenly became interested.

That woman Lin Xuezhu is so abominable. Is she worthy enough to pester Yuan Xiu all day long?

Mei Shuang thought for a while and said, "You should never act by ear. I have observed over the past few days that Lin Xuezhu always seems to like to leave the team and go to find food nearby. When she goes far away, we will follow her. I still don't believe it. Now, the two of us can't beat her?"

"Sister, you mean..." There was a hint of excitement in Mei Yun's dark eyes.

Mei Shuang nodded meaningfully.

"But Lin Xuezhu is an exiled prisoner. If she has any shortcomings and the officials investigate her, what should we do?"

This time, Mei Yun rarely had a brain and knew how to consider the consequences.

Mei Shuang smiled slightly and said sadly: "So what if we pursue the case? She was restless, walked into the deep mountains and old forests, and encountered danger. What does it have to do with us? Besides, the person in this exile team hates her the most. It's not us. Even if others are suspicious, they can't doubt us."

As she said that, she glanced at Zhou Shenyi and Lin Xuelan.

Mei Yun understood, and immediately showed a bright smile, and praised Mei Shuang: "Sister, you are so smart."

Smart and vicious at the same time.

Mei Shuang smiled and said nothing more.

In the next few days, the two sisters kept paying attention to Lin Xuezhu's movements.

After figuring out her behavioral characteristics, we began to wait for the best time to come.

This is not an easy task.

However, the opportunity came.

On this day, the exile team once again walked into the mountains.

This mountain is slightly different from what I have encountered before.

It is steeper and more dangerous, and the walking paths are narrower.

Liu Kui reminded everyone to be more careful and not to leave the team and act on their own.

For safety reasons, Lin Xuezhu asked the whole family to get out of the car and walk.

Even Yan Da and others who were responsible for driving the carriage were not allowed to sit on the carriage.

Especially when passing through narrow sections of road, you must be prepared to abandon the carriage at any time.

In short, things can be thrown away, but nothing will happen to her family members.

After everything was arranged, Lin Xuezhu supported Yuan Xiu and followed slowly at the end of the team.

Yuan Xiu leaned on a bamboo pole and used strength to move forward.

Liu Kui met Lin Xuezhu and joked: "Ms. Lin, you recovered very quickly. Your sprained foot was so severe before, but now you can walk on your own."

Lin Xuezhu speculated that Liu Kui might not know this, she was just looking for an excuse. Just enter Fengyang City.

But pretending to be confused while still understanding is sometimes a necessary skill for communication between people.

So she said: "I can barely walk. If the official feels sorry for me, why not let the team camp on the spot?"

Chapter 168 There was a commotion ahead

. Liu Kui knew that Lin Xuezhu was pretending.

But what can he do?

Having such a woman in the team is really a disaster sent to him by God!

I can't fight but I can't fight, I can't afford to provoke, I can only suffer.

He didn't want to bring trouble to himself anymore, so he grunted twice and left.

Yuan Xiu couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

His wife is truly a talent.

No matter who the opponent is, they will always be able to defeat her.

"There is danger ahead, everyone, be careful."

As we were walking, the official in front suddenly shouted.

Lin Xuezhu looked forward and saw a not-so-wide mountain road ahead, with a mountain wall on the left and a cliff on the right.

"Can the carriage pass by?" Lin Xuezhu asked worriedly.

"It should be possible, otherwise the official baggage would not be able to pass." Yuan Xiu replied.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and said to Yan Da and others: "Our carriage fell at the end of the team, let others pass first."

By doing this, she could ensure the safety of the exile team and prevent the carriage from hitting other people.

Secondly, it also prevents people with ulterior motives from doing harm to them.

After everyone had passed, Yan Dacai led a carriage and planned to lead the way first.

However, before the horse could reach the mountain road, it refused to go any further.

No matter how Yan Da whipped and urged, it was of no use.

"Miss Xuezhu, the horse is disobedient." Yan Da was a little anxious, "How about I go to the carriage and drive it away."

"No, I said, the carriage can be abandoned, but nothing can happen to the people." Lin Xuezhu insisted.

For a moment, she really wanted to leave the carriage here.

If the car is gone, she will try to buy it again, but if it injures someone, it will be an irreparable loss.

"Bindfold the horse's eyes with a cloth and let someone lead the horse away."

At this time, Yuan Xiu beside her said decisively.

Lin Xuezhu raised his eyebrows.

Is this okay?

On such a dangerous road, let the horse go on a blind road?

"Husband, these horses are not war horses. I'm afraid they don't have such good psychological quality." Lin Xuezhu was very worried.

She did know that on the battlefield, in order to prevent the horses from being frightened after seeing the bloody scenes, the horses would be blindfolded and only let them rush forward.

But after all, it was a specially trained war horse with excellent quality.

The horses that ordinary people use to pull carts are probably not that obedient.

"If madam is worried, take out the things from the carriage and let someone carry it on your back first. The horses are easier to control because they are lightly packed." Yuan Xiu said.

Lin Xuezhu made a prompt decision and agreed to his proposal.

After all, if the carriage cannot pass this hurdle, it will be a blessing among misfortunes that the contents of the carriage can be preserved.

Otherwise, we really have to go back to before liberation overnight.

Fortunately, when they live at home, their things are kept neatly.

At this time, you only need to take the rattan basket out of the carriage and carry it on your back.

Lin Xuezhu weighed it up and gave priority to clothing and daily necessities.

If these things are missing, it will be troublesome to replenish them later.

As for the food, even if it's all lost, the worst thing is to find it again.

After the distribution, everyone in the Lin family brought two rattan baskets.

Those who walked up the mountain took one step ahead to catch up with the larger group.

The person responsible for pulling the cart followed behind and moved forward along the left side of the mountain wall, always paying attention to the carriage's movement route.

Lu Mo took out his whistle and blew a few soothing notes.

After listening to his whistle, the originally uneasy horses calmed down a little and were able to move forward slowly under the guidance of people.

Lin Xuezhu turned his head from time to time to check the people and horses behind him. Seeing that their condition was relatively stable, he felt a little relieved.

"Everyone, drink more water and don't rush forward. We'll catch up when we get to a better place for the rest of the journey." Lin Xuezhu raised his voice and shouted.

She originally thought that the women in the family would not be able to hold on on such a difficult mountain road and the heavy loads.

Unexpectedly, even Lin Jiayuan, who was the weakest, only hummed a few times without showing any signs of exhaustion.

With their physical fitness, are they planning to go to the battlefield?

Lin Xuezhu smiled secretly in his heart.

"Madam, the water you gave me is very effective."

Yuan Xiu said quietly beside him.

Lin Xuezhu knew that nothing could be hidden from him, and she had no intention of hiding it.

He just smiled innocently and said: "Husband, please keep a tightrope in your words so that we can meet again in the future."

Since he had made up his mind not to explore her secret, why bother to embarrass her at this time?

Yuan Xiu smiled and said nothing.

He just couldn't control himself and always wanted to tease her.

Seeing her helpless look, he felt uncontrollably happy.

Lin Xuezhu was walking and suddenly asked: "Husband, since you know there are so many unexplainable things about me, how do you restrain yourself from being curious?"

Yuan Xiu was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you really think that I am the only one? One person noticed something unusual?"

Lin Xuezhu's body trembled, and he immediately glanced at the others warily, and whispered: "My husband is saying..."

Yuan Xiu chuckled: "I guess, everyone never treats you. All the doubts are to protect you."

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu was almost moved to tears.

In her last life, the secret of her dimension was leaked by her family members.

At first, she only told her parents, thinking that since they were close relatives, they would definitely not harm her.

But she didn't expect that her parents also had close relatives, and close relatives also had close relatives, and these people's close relatives were not close relatives to her.

Therefore, this news spread among her close relatives became the beginning of the tragedy in her life.

Therefore, in this life, even if she had to use the function of space, she was determined not to reveal the existence of space.

As long as she didn't say it, no one would have thought that real things could be stored in her illusory consciousness.

However, she didn't expect that her family members would have such a tacit understanding and chose to keep silent in order to protect her.

Lin Xuezhu fell silent, and a warm current slowly flowed in her heart.

Seeing that she remained silent, Yuan Xiu silently held her hand.

He said softly: "You can never tell me this secret. As long as I can protect you, I will spare no effort to do it."

"Husband..." Lin Xuezhu's bright eyes were shining with water.

Yuan Xiu squeezed her little hand and smiled without saying a word.

Just when Lin Xuezhu felt that she was surrounded by love and very happy, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front.

Lin Xuezhu looked over and saw Lin Jiayuan being dragged by something. She had lost her center of gravity and was falling backwards unprepared.

Behind her, there were only Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang.

Lin Chengyao was carrying a rattan basket and holding Lin Yuxuan in his hand. He couldn't free his hands for a while.

Only Jiang Qishuang struggled to hold Lin Jiayuan back.

But Lin Jiayuan was not alone, there was a plum tree hanging next to her.

Two people rushed down from above, and it was not something Jiang Qishuang could hold back by herself.

Chapter 169 Moral Kidnapping The battle is to strike first.

But in a split second, Lin Xuezhu let go of Yuan Xiu's hand and held up Jiang Qishuang and Lin Jiayuan who were sliding down.

The huge momentum made her take two steps back unconsciously, but she still managed to steady herself.

At this moment, Mei Shuang, who was falling beside Lin Jiayuan, slipped and threw herself at Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell backwards.

And behind her is a bottomless cliff.

"Xue Zhu!" Jiang Qishuang and Lin Jiayuan screamed at the same time.

They stretched out their hands to fish for Lin Xuezhu, but found nothing.

Lin Xuezhu's body was teetering on the edge of the cliff.

At the critical moment, a figure quickly flashed to Lin Xuezhu's side.

He reached out with his long arms and hugged Lin Xuezhu's slender waist.

At the same time, he clamped Mei Shuang's arm with his other hand, twisted and pushed Mei Shuang off the cliff.

Mei Shuang's screams pierced the sky.

However, in just a moment, a dull sound came from the bottom of the cliff.

Then everything fell silent.

"Sister!" Mei Yun screamed and rushed out of the team, lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down.

The place below was dark and gloomy, with only a dazzling blood stain, which looked particularly shocking.

"Sister!" Mei Yun said again heartbreakingly.

Lin Xuezhu, protected by Yuan Xiu, quickly dodged to the inside of the mountain road.

"Husband, your legs..." Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Yuan Xiu still standing steadily without any assistance.

They say that it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, not to mention that Yuan Xiu was injured so seriously that both of his legs were almost useless.

And it's only been a month and a half, and his legs are back to normal?

This situation, which was like a medical miracle, shocked Lin Chengyao.

He handed Lin Yuxuan into Jiang Qishuang's arms, pulled his wife and sister to the side near the mountain wall, and immediately bent over to check Yuan Xiu's injuries.

Everyone in the Lin family gathered around.

The thrilling scene just now made their hearts jump into their throats.

Fortunately, Lin Xuezhu was fine.

In shock, it took a long time for everyone to regain their composure, but their attention was again attracted by Yuan Xiu's legs.

Perhaps everyone was too surprised and happy. Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu were forced to accept everyone's greetings, and they were a little numb.

At this moment, a scream sounded from behind everyone.

"You murderers, give back my sister!"

Lu Mo, who was always vigilant, took a quick step towards Mei Yun who was charging toward the crowd, cut her hands behind her back, and held her down firmly.

"Murderer, you killed my sister, you have to pay for her life!"

Mei Yun yelled at the top of her lungs while struggling.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at her coldly, without any pity in their eyes.

"What's going on?" Liu Kui, who heard the sound, pushed through the crowd and walked over.

Mei Yun immediately seemed to have seen a savior and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Master, you have to redress my grievances for my sister and me. These people pushed my sister off the cliff. They are murderers!"

Liu Kui frowned. Wrinkled, he leaned over and looked down the cliff.

Wherever he looked, he could not find Mei Shuang, only a trace of blood.

It is estimated that the person fell deeper.

Liu Kui withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Xuezhu with some confusion.

"Ms. Lin, what's going on?" he asked.

Lin Xuezhu looked at him with an innocent face, blinking her bright eyes.

Said: "I don't know what happened specifically. In short, what I saw was that Mei slipped on her feet and went to catch my aunt. My aunt didn't stand firm, and she slipped down and was caught by my aunt again. But my aunt couldn't catch her by herself. There were two of us, so I went up to help. As a result, Mei Shuang still slipped and rushed towards me again. My husband came to save me and caught me, but he couldn't catch Mei Shuang, so she fell down. "

This time you catch me, I catch her, he catches her, but he failed to catch her narration, which successfully confused Liu Kui.

Although confused, he accurately extracted the key points.

Mei Shuang's death had nothing to do with the Lin family. It all came from her own slippery feet.

Liu Kui was not surprised by this result.

Mrs. Lin's routine operation.

He couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

He even felt that it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. What mattered was what kind of result Mrs. Lin wanted.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly hit Liu Kui's heart.

However, Mei Yun was not convinced.

She argued: "She lied. My sister didn't fall down on her own. She was pushed down by them. I saw with my own eyes that they pushed my sister!"

"Is that so?" Liu Kui looked at Lin Xuezhu, his eyes no longer filled with emotion. There is hope.

Lin Xuezhu looked at Mei Yun with interest, "Since you saw everything, why didn't you hold your sister? If you could hold her in time, she wouldn't fall, let alone what happened next. You How did you become this sister?"

As soon as she said these strange words from an angle, everyone was stunned.

Can you still say that?

What an eye-opener.

Lin Xuezhu said that the key to moral kidnapping is to strike first.

The heroine can use this trick, but why can't the female supporting character use it?

Mei Yun was scolded by her and didn't know how to reply for a moment.

After stammering for a long time, he muttered: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't react."

Lin Xuezhu continued: "You also know that the incident happened suddenly, and you couldn't even react, so why should we react? ? Your sister suddenly slipped down and almost knocked our family off the cliff. I'm being generous for not arguing with you, but you still dare to call us murderers. Do you think you just have a mouth under your nose? "

As she spoke, her aura suddenly surged, and her stern tone frightened Mei Yun to the point of trembling all over.

Lin Xuezhu ignored her, turned to Lin Jiayuan, and said in a soft voice: "Aunt, you were dragged down by her in the first place. You know best what happened. Please tell me."

Lin Jiayuan is an honest person, think carefully . She thought for a while and said: "I just kept walking forward and didn't pay attention to what was going on in front of me. But our Lin family all acted together. I don't understand why Mei Shuang suddenly fell on me."

After saying that, she looked ahead. Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing.

Lin Chengzhang said: "The girl Mei Shuang was walking in front of us. At that time, the straps of my wife's shoes were loose, so I pulled her aside to tidy up. It was probably at that time that the girl Mei Shuang fell."

Lin Chengyao Then he said: "I only saw Miss Mei Shuang grabbing my sister and falling down. At that time, I was holding Xiao Xuan'er in my arms and couldn't free my hands. It was my wife who rushed up to catch them, but these two people were very strong. My wife didn't catch it too much."

Speaking of this, Lin Jiayuan suddenly remembered something and added: "Miss Mei Shuang is very strong. She kept pulling me down."

Lin Xuezhu sighed softly and said to Liu Kui: "Master, look, my family I wanted to save Miss Mei Shuang, but she was bitten by her sister. It was really unfair. "

Chapter 170 The twists and turns between people

"You're talking nonsense!" Mei Yun pointed at Lin Xuezhu and shouted sternly, "Your family didn't even think of saving my sister. The only people you held back were your own family members, and no one held me back. Sister!"

"Really?" Lin Xuezhu looked at her with interest and asked, "Since none of my family members met her, it has nothing to do with us if she fell off the cliff?"

Mei Yun was stunned, she realized. , he seemed to have fallen into a trap set by Lin Xuezhu.

For a moment, her mind was in confusion, and she didn't know what to say to blame Lin Xuezhu for her sister's death.

"You pushed my sister, I saw it with my own eyes."

Up to now, Mei Yun was riding a tiger.

Her sister is already dead. If she can't defeat Lin Xuezhu, she will lose both her wife and her troops, a loss of blood!

Therefore, even if she had to use strong arguments, she would still cling to Lin Xuezhu.

"It's impossible. At that time, the eldest niece was holding me with one hand and my sister-in-law with the other. She had no ability to push Mei Shuang." Jiang Qishuang retorted.

When Liu Kui heard this, he also felt that it was unlikely that Lin Xuezhu would fall off the cliff by pushing the plum blossom.

Apart from anything else, Lin Xuezhu was really good to his family.

There is no way she would give priority to harming others when her two family members are in danger.

His eyes subconsciously moved to Yuan Xiu.

If we say that among these people, the only one who has the opportunity and ability to push Mei Shuang down is Yuan Xiu.

But for some reason, Mei Yun refused to identify him from beginning to end.

Liu Kui was confused, but he didn't show it.

Instead, he said to the others: "Who else saw what happened?"

No one answered.

The road is steep, everyone is looking down at the road, and no one will take the initiative to pay attention to others.

Except for the people affected by Mei Shuangbo, no one really knows what happened just now.

Liu Kui made a judgment in his mind and said to Mei Yun: "I believe that your sister made a mistake and fell off the cliff. I hope you will show mercy and stop biting others."

Mei Yun raised her head and stared at Liu in disbelief . Kui, "Master, did my sister die in vain?"

Liu Kui was a little impatient and said in a deep voice: "Out of good intentions, I would like to remind you to be careful where you step when you are on the road, so as not to fall off the cliff like your sister. "

These words were his last warning to Mei Yun.

However, to Mei Yun's ears, it sounded threatening.

She simply couldn't believe that as an official, he would protect the prisoner.

"Master, you have to make the decision for my sister!" Mei Yun still wanted to mess around.

Liu Kui had no intention of talking to her.

The mountain road was already difficult to travel, and now it delayed our trip again.

Although he didn't respect the deceased to think this way, he was really glad that it was not his prisoner who had the accident.

"Get on the road." Two words popped out of Liu Kui's mouth coldly.

"Mom and dad, you go first." Lin Xuezhu winked at Lin Chengzhang.

Lin Chengzhang understood and called to Lin Chengyao and his wife, Lin Jiayuan, Lu and Lin Xueyi to go ahead.

Mother Ma took Gu Zhenniang and Cui'er and followed their footsteps.

These people walked in front, blocking other people's sight of looking back.

Lin Xuezhu glanced at Lu Mo.

Lu Mo understood immediately, tied up Mei Yun and threw her into the carriage.

Mei Yun originally wanted to call for help, but Lu Mo moved too quickly and blocked her mouth.

The moment she realized that she could only be manipulated by others, her heart became extremely desperate.

But now it's too late to regret, who made her offend someone she shouldn't have!

"Keep an eye on people." Lin Xuezhu told Lu Mo in a low voice.

Lu Mo naturally understood.

A daring madman like this must be strictly guarded.

Otherwise, if something happens again and hurts your family, you will regret it.

Lin Xuezhu naturally trusted Lu Mo.

She straightened her clothes and helped Yuan Xiu to move forward.

As she walked, she asked: "Husband, when will your legs heal?"

When he was walking just now, he was holding a bamboo pole with one hand, pretending that he could only take care of himself.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he threw away the bamboo pole and staged a drama of a hero saving the beauty.

Hearing her question, Yuan Xiu picked up the bamboo pole again and started limping away again.

Lin Xuezhu was speechless.

This has been exposed, how can we continue to pretend?

He heard Yuan Xiu say: "Those who want me to be unable to stand up for the rest of my life must not want to see me recover so quickly. My leg will eventually become disabled."

Lin Xuezhu understood what he meant.

However, the disguise he had deliberately maintained just now to save her was broken.

It would be fine if no one cared about it, but if someone saw it and spread it, it would definitely cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu's eyes darkened.

Mei Yun definitely cannot be kept here.

In the evening, the team finally passed the dangerous mountain road and camped on a flat place on the top of the mountain.

Each team lit a bonfire and prepared to cook food.

The surface of this mountain is mostly composed of rocks. Occasionally, you can see a few trees growing out of the cracks in the rocks. There are very few resources for food.

Therefore, most people eat stored grain.

The Lin family is no exception, but their food reserves are more abundant.

"Cousin, I think there seems to be an antelope nearby. Do you want me to go out and look for it?" Lu Mo asked.

Lin Xuezhu shook her head, "This mountain road is not easy to walk. Unless the antelope comes to your door, there is no need to take risks."

She paused and then said: "But there is something you need to do. We have to find a place where no one is around. Question Mei Yun."

Lu Mo looked around and pointed to a mountain col in the distance.

Lin Xuezhu looked over and nodded slightly.

Although the place is not ideal, it is considered to be the best place for confidentiality.

"Bring this person over," Lin Xuezhu said.

Lu Mo said nothing, led his carriage, and blocked the road to the mountain col.

He told Yan Da a few words, and Yan Da took the three brothers of the Hu family to guard near the carriage.

Under the cover of the carriage, Lu Mo carried Mei Yun out and rushed to the mountain col.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and said, "Husband, let's go over and listen?"

"Okay." Yuan Xiu held up the bamboo pole and limped toward the col.

"Niece-in-law, you..." Lin Chengyao couldn't understand when he saw that Yuan Xiu was lame again.

Lin Xuezhu turned around and made a "hush" gesture to him.

Lin Chengyao seemed to understand, but looked at Jiang Qishuang with some confusion.

It was Lin Chengzhang who was experienced and pulled his brother aside and whispered.

Lin Chengyao suddenly realized this and secretly blamed himself for almost causing big trouble.

It seems that he still needs to listen, learn and understand more about the twists and turns between people.

Lin Chengyao secretly blamed himself.

However, Lin Xuezhu supported Yuan Xiu and walked slowly to the mountain col, pretending to be nonchalant.

When people who didn't know what was going on saw them, they thought the young couple had gone to a place where no one was around to get intimate, but no one took their behavior seriously.
