Seeing the lamb that was about to be captured, the three of them were naturally unwilling to give up.
They followed each other for over an hour.
Until a stone tablet appeared by the roadside, with three large characters engraved on it:
Mu'an Village.
After passing the stone tablet, Su Ruojin slowed her pace, took out a dried apricot from her small cloth bag and put it in her mouth. With a slight smile and a hint of mockery in her eyes, she continued walking forward.
The three men were delighted and quickened their pace to catch up, passing the stone tablet.
Su Ruojin counted down in her mind.
three!
two!
one!
As the countdown ended, three muffled groans and dragging sounds came from behind, then everything returned to silence.
On the quiet village road, only the little girl remained.
As soon as she entered the village, people kept greeting Su Ruojin.
"Dr. Su, you're back!"
"Dr. Su, my mother has been asking you to come to our house for dinner. Thank you for curing her headache."
"Dr. Su, my father's rheumatism has flared up again. Could you please take a look?"
"Dr. Su, these are the fish I just caught today. Take them back and make some fish soup. The fish from the small river are so fresh." Wang Dazhuang blushed and stuffed the two large fish he was carrying into Su Ruojin's hands.
Su Ruojin didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, Brother Dazhuang. Brother Ergou, I'll be seeing patients at our usual spot later. Please have Uncle Fu come over."
"Oh, thank you, Dr. Su, you have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

At the same time, at the General's Mansion in the capital.
A guard knelt before General Su: "General, we have news of the Sixth Miss. Someone saw her in Shili Village, east of Yanyang."
Su Yunfeng instantly stood up from his horse and shouted, "Quickly, prepare the horses!"
"Father, let's go too!"
As the New Year approached, the Su family's children who were away from home returned early. Now, upon hearing the news of their younger sister, the five Su children's eyes were filled with excitement and guilt.
Any one of the five sons of the Su family could be a figure who could shake the capital.
Fourteen years ago, during the Lantern Festival, the five sons took their little sister out to admire the lanterns, but lost her when she was just over one year old.
Over the years, the five sons have traveled almost all over the Great Chu Kingdom, and even inquired about the countries surrounding the Great Chu Kingdom, but they have not found any news about their sister.
The five brothers will not be able to let go of their worries until their sister is found.
Now that they've heard news of a younger sister, how could they not go?
"I'll go too." Old Master Su walked in, with a pretty young girl in a pale yellow brocade dress carefully supporting him.

Mu'an Village.
Su Ruojin walked to an inconspicuous wooden house in the western corner of the village.
She gently pushed open the door, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold, she felt something fly straight towards her face.
Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows slightly, turned to the side and caught the thing that was flying towards her.
Looking at the three silver needles in his palm!
Each silver needle gleamed with a faint green light.
Trapping machine, red arsenic, and heartbreak grass.
Three needles, three kinds of poison—they really think highly of her.
