Shu'er looked at him seriously and saw that his face turned red, like a monkey's butt. Zhuge Jinyu's breathing suddenly quickened. It was his first time to try the feeling of lips touching, and he didn't expect it to be so subtle.

"Ahem, let's get out of here quickly as the snow has stopped." Shu'er looked at the sun rising outside and walked out cautiously. A large area of ​​the plain was covered with snow. When she took a step, the snow reached her calf. It seemed that the snow had been very heavy these days.

"Zhuge Jinyu, why aren't you talking?" Shu'er was holding a wooden stick in her hand, and Zhuge Jinyu was carrying a bundle and the wooden stick and started to climb the mountain together. They had to climb over the hill and cross a river, and only when they reached Gaolan County could they take a carriage and return to Chenzhou.

"What's there to say? Let's get on with our journey." He looked ahead somewhat embarrassedly. Shu'er kept laughing at him. She didn't expect that his serious look could be so adorable. She couldn't bear to tease her.

"Ouch!" Shu'er stepped into the snow and suddenly fell down for some reason. It turned out that a hunter had set a trap here. Fortunately, there was no hidden mechanism underneath, otherwise he would have been shot into a sieve by arrows.

"Shu'er!" Zhuge Jinyu watched her suddenly fall down. She was completely unprepared and was about to bend down to find out what was going on. Shu'er quickly said, "Don't come down. It's too deep here." Shu'er felt sore all over her back and waist. She gritted her teeth and sat up, feeling as if her ribs were about to break.

If Zhuge Jinyu came down again, she would definitely be smashed into a persimmon cake. The entrance to the hole was very narrow. After a person fell in, he didn't expect that the hole was quite deep and he couldn't see the bottom at all.

"Don't be afraid. Let me see if there are any ropes or something nearby!" Zhuge Jinyu said, and threw the bag down first, letting her sit on the ground with the cotton wool inside as a cushion so that she wouldn't feel too cold.

On the other side, Gu Yunru kept sneezing, as if someone was saying something bad about him behind his back. Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru had already rushed to the vicinity of the villa, but they did not see Shu'er and Zhuge. They thought they would return to the villa, but Wu Liang and the old doctor said that they had never returned.

"Why don't we send more of our brothers to look for them!"

Wu Liang looked at Gu Yunru in front of him and offered his opinion.

"Absolutely not. Now is definitely not the time to alert the enemy." Gu Yunru knew that Wei Shang and others must be waiting for someone from Taocheng Villa to take action to find the whereabouts of these people.

If they really find out any sign of trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

"What should we do? The city lord and Miss Shu'er haven't come back yet. Aren't you worried about Miss Shu'er's safety?"

"Of course I'm worried, but what's the point of worrying? Being flustered will only expose our true colors." Gu Yunru has already firmly believed that Shu'er must be fine now. Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen beside him and said, "Let's go and look for Shu'er. The fewer people, the better. We must not alert the enemy."

"Um."

Seeing that the two had decided to leave, Wu Liang interrupted and said, "I want to go too."

"But..." Gu Yunru looked at Wu Liang with some embarrassment. Bringing one more person would only bring more danger. Wu Liang seemed to see her embarrassment, so he patted his chest and said, "I also know some Kung Fu to protect myself, so you don't have to worry about me."

At the same time, Zhuge Jinyu had found vines near the nearby mountains, so he took them and made a strong rope, threw it into the cave, and said loudly to the inside: "Shu'er, hold on to the rope and I will pull you up."

Shu'er rubbed her shoulders, and a bone-chilling chill penetrated her. She could only barely keep her mind calm. She realized that the rope had been thrown down, so she pulled it.

Zhuge Jinyu took great pains to finally pull her up, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, I thought you would run away halfway." Shu'er patted her aching back and was just joking, but she didn't expect him to suddenly become serious.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Let's hurry on our way."

"Um."

Gaolan.

Finally seeing the plaque of the city gate, Shu'er rubbed her sore back. The sun was shining brightly and many people were walking back and forth.

Suddenly, he saw a lively scene ahead, so he and Zhuge Shuangshuang went forward.

"Just watch! This is the consequence of colluding with Zoroastrianism!" A group of soldiers burned a clinic to ashes, with many people imprisoned inside.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

I heard from the people around me that it turned out that this clinic saved a person who was suspected to be a Zoroastrian believer, so it was reported and brought disaster upon itself. A total of more than a dozen people in the family were locked up in the clinic and burned alive.

Shu'er clenched her fists. She had never expected that this group of people had abused their power to such an extent. When she was about to step forward to rescue the whole family, Zhuge Jinyu grabbed her wrist and left quickly.

"Do you know that someone has been targeting us?" Zhuge Jinyu pulled her quickly while pulling down her sleeves. There was a flame mark on her arm. If someone with ulterior motives saw it, they might report them to get a reward.

"But this is too much. They are an innocent family, with dozens of people, including the elderly and children, all so pitiful!"

"You don't need to feel sorry for them. In today's chaotic world, things like this are commonplace." Zhuge Jinyu said as he led her to the entrance of an alley. Originally, someone was following them, but lost them halfway.

"How do you know someone is following us?" Shu'er hid beside him, lowered her voice, and asked cautiously. This Zhuge Jinyu is really omnipotent.

"When we entered the county town, someone was watching us. You don't understand. There are Zoroastrians everywhere now. In order to crack down on the power of Zoroastrians, some of the people in this city were bribed by the government soldiers. If, I mean, if they kill a suspect, they will receive a large reward."
