Chapter 177 Someone is trying to harm them
Madam He Er spoke harshly, her eyes fixed on the direction of the Shen family. She saw Fu Xuanheng, who used to lie there breathing more than he inhaled, now helping with the work with nimble hands and feet.
Her heart felt like it had been pulled out and thrown into the mud and stomped on.
After stepping on it, you still have to say contemptuously, "Pooh, pooh, pooh."
The hands that were holding her headband were shaking, and her sinister eyes were following Fu Xuanheng.
Sensing the other party's unfriendly gaze, Fu Xuanheng glanced at him coldly.
Seeing that it was Madam He Er, he turned away indifferently.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Old Madam Shen also walked over with her old legs, "Are you ready to wrap Jiao'er? I'll do it too, I know how to do it."
"Let's take care of the little ones, and let Yunyue cook. It's a pity that there's no fish to cook." Mrs. Shen Ma stared blankly at the things in her hand.
Last year’s New Year’s Eve was so lively with the whole family together.
At that time, several sons of the Shen family were there.
But now, except for her eldest son Shen Citong, all the other children and the two sons of the second eldest son's family have lost their lives and will never be seen again in this life.
Ma Shen turned her head and secretly wiped away her tears.
Shen Zhou was relieved. "Mother, it doesn't matter if the fish isn't cooked. Looking at the situation, who knows when the rest of the people will be back?"
Shen Lushi agreed with this and kept working.
"Why."
Ma Shen sighed heavily.
Yingfeng had already prepared the medicine, and he and Da Niu and Er Niu began to serve the medicine to everyone.
Even if you don't get caught in the rain, you still need to drink some medicine to dispel the cold.
Shen Yunyue took it and drank it in one breath.
Looking at the women who came to help, he said softly:
"Sister Ou, you guys should also make some medicine and go back. Warm up your family members."
"Okay. Thank you, Miss Shen." Ou Ruoyang was grateful.
The other women hurriedly expressed their gratitude, each of them having someone they wanted to protect.
In the distance, people gradually came over.
Most of the people were soaked by the rain.
The Lu family's carriage was slow to arrive, only two carriages from the side branches came.
Shen Yunyue looked around and was shocked.
"Xuan Heng. Grandpa Lu and the others didn't come?"
Fu Xuanheng also noticed that Mr. Lu and his men were also quite fast in the past.
Unless their carriage also overturned, considering that the Lu family had an attendant following them. Logically speaking, the probability of overturning was not high, but then I thought of the needle.
Fu Xuanheng's face turned cold.
He put on his straw raincoat and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
Shen Yunyue's heart tightened, "Your body is just getting better."
Fu Xuanheng's drooping eyebrows were tinged with softness, and his voice was low and gentle. "It's okay, the Lu family has always been on good terms with us.
If someone did it intentionally, it could happen."
He whispered in my ear:
"Give me some of your pills."
Shen Yunyue knew what Fu Xuanheng was talking about and gave him a small bottle of pills. "It's not much. Use it as you see fit."
"Golden wound medicine?"
Fu Xuanheng reached out and pinched Shen Yunyue's nose, chuckling: "No, I still have some."
He wore a straw raincoat and a wide hat.
The shoes on his feet were also the rain boots that Shen Yunyue gave him, but they were covered with oilcloth.
Fu Xuanheng was holding a bright-tile oil lamp in his hand and a piece of oilcloth under his left armpit.
Stride towards the rain.
Mo Yiran was playing with Shu Bao when he heard someone say:
"Why did Fu Xuanheng go out? Can his body handle it?"
Mo Yiran was so frightened that he quickly looked up and said sternly: "Xuan Heng, what are you doing, you silly boy?"
Fu Xuanheng turned around and looked at Mo Yiran's sincere concern.
Changing his usual cold expression, he softly comforted:
"Mom, the escorts haven't come back yet. I'll go check."
"What can you do, kid? You're not fully recovered yet." Mo Yiran looked distressed.
"It's okay. I'm wearing a straw raincoat and just drank a big bowl of medicine." Fu Xuanheng said and walked back. "Drink some more hot soup when you get back, cover yourself with the quilt and sweat it out, and you'll be fine."
Mo Yiran's voice angrily scolding Shen Yunyue came from behind.
Hearing this, Fu Xuanheng quickened his pace.
After Fu Xuanheng walked a short distance, he saw someone lighting a torch not far away.
Only the torch was faintly blown out.
In such a storm, torches are hardly effective.
Fu Xuanheng's Mingwa oil lamp was not very bright, but it was different in the rain and fog.
He walked over and met the irritable Scarface Peng head-on.
"Master Peng, what's going on now?"
"The carriage is ready, but I'm afraid the horse won't be able to recover." Scarface Peng was also very worried. What if something really happened to the horse?
Wouldn’t I have to walk the rest of the way?
It had already been delayed for quite a while, and I had been on the road for several months.
I thought that after the Spring Festival, I could travel quickly.
Maybe we will arrive in Shihanzhou on the scheduled date.
Fu Xuanheng looked at the carriages in the middle.
The first thing to fall was the He family's carriage. He walked over and touched the horse.
It is an old horse, and its energy has been exhausted after a long journey.
Fu Xuanheng touched the horse's eyes.
Then he walked to the back. Mr. Lu and his companions were trembling and huddled together.
"Master Lu." Fu Xuanheng was the first to greet Master Lu.
What I saw was the people from the Lu family crowded together.
His expression was somewhat desolate.
The head of the Lu family sighed, because his follower was injured while trying to save him after the car overturned.
Fu Xuanheng took the oilcloth in his hand.
"Send two people to take him there first. Yunyue has medicine. Since he's just been injured, go get him bandaged and given medicine first."
Fu Xuanheng doesn't talk much, and he's not as lively as Shen Yunyue.
The cold tone made Patriarch Lu's nose sore.
He quickly took the oilcloth, called the women and children in the house, and left with two strong men and their entourage.
"Bring some food with you."
"Okay." Old Madam Lu, leaning on a tree stick, hobbled over and told the women in the house to get some food.
The group looked at the oilcloth again, silently took the bedding and put it on the oilcloth and took it over.
Fu Xuanheng came to the side of the Lu family's horse. Old Master Lu's eyes darkened, "Mr. Fu, this horse suddenly went crazy."
"My horsemanship is pretty good, but I just couldn't catch it."
Mr. Lu also went forward to check, but found nothing.
Fu Xuanheng walked to the side of the horse and squatted down.
The horse was tied up, and the Lu family was reluctant to kill it. After all, it was the power they needed to travel.
Fu Xuanheng stroked the horse's head and stared at it. With his head lowered, no one could see what he was doing.
After a while.
He reached out and felt two needles on the horse's neck and butt.
I found it and pulled it out along the thick fur.
The Lu family members looked grim.
Someone is trying to harm them.
Scarface Peng also saw the two long needles, and his already furious face became even more furious.
"Hmph, you dare to attack me so brazenly?" Scarface Peng whispered, his voice filled with anger.
Old Huang stroked his beard and sneered:
"The other party is very shady. He didn't even want to let everyone know. If it weren't for Master Fu, who would have discovered it?"
Patriarch Lu glanced at Fu Xuanheng with a hint of understanding. He thought to himself: After all, he is the son of the deposed crown prince, and his behavior is indeed different.
If you are so cautious and careful, you will be able to overcome difficulties if you want to succeed in the future.
Almost all the other horses were injured by this crazy horse. Fu Xuanheng examined it carefully and seemed to have a faint smell of medicine on the tip of the needle.
This is the smell that is not obvious.
Adding the smell of horse blood can basically cover up this smell.
His face darkened, and Scarface Peng came over and said coldly:
"Any new discoveries?"
"I can't smell what it is. I'll go back later and ask Yunyue. The genius doctor in Medicine King Valley said she's quite talented. He gave her a book on medicine."
Fu Xuanheng was worried that Shen Yunyue would reveal her medical skills sooner or later, so it would be better for her to show them off to Scarface Peng now.
When I first got this medical book, I was like a medicine boy that no one looked up to.
Scarface Peng frowned imperceptibly. Even if one was talented, could they still identify odors the moment they got a medical book?
It seems that Fu Xuanheng is really too obsessed with his children's love affairs.
I trust Miss Shen too much.
Fu Xuanheng didn't use the medicine, but only helped them check the horses. The He family's horse was beyond saving, so they had to go back and bring it back to re-harness it.
As a result, the He family and the Lu family each lost a horse.
The Lu family's horse was bandaged with medicine by Fu Xuanheng, and he also gave instructions to Mr. Lu.
"Grandpa Lu, when we get to the foot of the mountain, feed them with our fine fodder for two days."
Mr. Lu was about to say that he also had fine fodder at home, but then he realized that Fu Xuanheng wouldn't talk nonsense, so he quickly agreed.
"Thank you very much. Miss Shen is kind to me, a rough old man, but I don't deserve to be called Grandpa Lu by Master Fu." Old Master Lu has a good sense of propriety. Even though Fu Xuanheng was demoted to a commoner, his status and position were higher than theirs in his eyes.
Fu Xuanheng's eyes, as deep as the night sky, were filled with a cold light.
"There's nothing I can't be. You and I are the same people." After saying this, Fu Xuanheng walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Passing by the monkey, I asked:
"Would you like me to keep this Mingwa lantern?"
The monkey wiped the rain off his face and shuddered.
The sky was dark and foggy, with no light visible. The only sound was the sound of raindrops hitting the ground. He shrank his neck and said, "I'll go back with you." Everyone else started to head back.
"good."
Fu Xuanheng wrapped the two silver needles in cloth and placed them in his sleeve.
Holding an umbrella and a monkey in one hand, Scarface Peng and Old Huangtou left here.
In the night.
A pair of eyes were staring at this place, and Fu Xuanheng looked in that direction as if he had sensed something.
But there is nothing.
He frowned in confusion. Could it be his illusion?
Wait until they returned to the bottom of the mountain wall.
Shen Yunyue and her friends have already made hundreds of jiao'er. Shen Yunyue basically instructs everyone on what fillings to use.
She herself was cooking a stew.
The stew had so many different things in it that it was basically a hodgepodge.
With the help of Yingfeng, the Lu family also set up the stove and started cooking dinner.
No matter how reluctant I am to leave, I will still cook a little more today.
It is New Year's Eve after all.
When Shen Yunyue saw the light, she knew Fu Xuanheng was coming, and she just glanced at him indifferently.
Mo Yiran was the first to shout.
"Xuan Heng, you're back."
"Brother-in-law, if you don't come back, mother will nag me in front of my sister again." Shen Yun was warming himself by the fire with his butt sticking out.
Fu Xuanheng curled his lips slightly. It seemed as if something in the forest was watching this place. He frowned again and looked over, but still found nothing.
Fu Xuanheng sighed and put his hand to his heart.
I always feel a little uneasy.
But now, there is not even a mouse passing by, let alone birds and animals?
He wanted to find out what was happening in the forest but had no idea where to start.
