The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Lin Congyun walked over quickly, squatted down, and looked at the box carefully.

The surface of the box was covered with dust and it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time.

Lin Congyun reached out and gently brushed away the dust on the surface, revealing the true color of the box.

Why does it look familiar?

An inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in Lin Congyun's heart. She tried hard to recall, trying to find clues about the box in the corner of her memory.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind, and she remembered that this box looked a bit like Fang Deyu's.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the house.

Lin Congyun's heart tightened, she quickly stood up and looked towards the door vigilantly.

A figure appeared at the door, it was Fang Deyu.

Her face was full of nervousness, and the moment she saw Lin Congyun, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Mom...why are you here?" Fang Deyu's voice trembled a little.

The moment Lin Congyun saw Fang Deyu, he was a little surprised.

Fang Deyu's face was pale, with an obvious scar on it. The scar was deeply engraved on her cheek, making her face look a little distorted.

"Your face..." Lin Congyun widened his eyes in shock and asked in a trembling voice.

Fang Deyu lowered her head, avoiding Lin Congyun's gaze, and choked up: "Mom, I...I..."

Lin Congyun felt a pain in her heart. She hurried forward, gently hugged Fang Deyu, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened? Who hurt you? I will definitely seek justice for you."

Fang Deyu raised her head and looked at Lin Congyun with tears in her eyes. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a whimper.

"Mom, I...I don't know what to say." Fang Deyu's voice was full of helplessness and confusion.

Lin Congyun held Fang Deyu's hand tightly, and said firmly and decisively: "Don't be afraid, mother is here. We will face it together. No matter what happens, mother will be by your side."

Her eyes swept across Fang Deyu's face. The scar there seemed to be engraved on her heart, causing her to feel a sharp pain.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone?"

Fang Deyu was silent for a moment, seeming to be hesitating about what to say.

"I... I escaped here." She finally spoke, her voice low and hoarse. "After I got separated from my sister-in-law and the others, Luzhu, Qiulan and I encountered robbers on the way. We fought hard, but were eventually caught by them. Later... Later they locked us up in a woodshed, trying to make us..."

When she said this, Fang Deyu was already sobbing and her body was shaking constantly in Lin Congyun's arms.

Lin Congyun's heart tightened. She hugged Fang Deyu tightly, her voice full of heartache and anger: "Don't be afraid, child, don't be afraid. Mother will take care of you. I won't let any of those robbers go!"

Fang Deyu cried in Lin Congyun's arms for a long time before gradually stopping crying.

She raised her head, looked at Lin Congyun, and said, "Mother, Luzhu and Qiulan are still here..."

"Where are they?"

"They are still in the robbers' lair. I escaped secretly. I...I want to find someone to rescue them, but I don't know what to do."

Fang Deyu's face was covered with tears and her eyes were full of helplessness.

Lin Congyun took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.

She knew that now was not the time to be angry. She needed to calm down and find a way to rescue Luzhu and Qiulan.

"Don't be afraid, child. I will find a way." Lin Congyun's voice was full of firmness and decisiveness. "Tell me, where is the robber's hideout?"

Fang Deyu's body trembled slightly, and her voice was low and hoarse: "In... in the mountain temple outside the city."

Lin Congyun nodded. She held Fang Deyu's hand tightly and said softly, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Last night, I escaped when the robbers weren't paying attention. Luzhu and Qiulan were caught again to protect me. My face was scratched by a branch because I fell down in a panic last night." Fang Deyu lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs, "It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, if I had been stronger, Luzhu and Qiulan wouldn't have..."

"Don't say that." Lin Congyun interrupted Fang Deyu, "You have done a good job. Now, leave it to mother. Mother will definitely rescue Luzhu, Qiulan and the others."

When Lin Congyun stood up and prepared to return to the inn with Fang Deyu, he turned around and saw the box in the corner.

"Is this box yours?"

Fang Deyu looked in the direction of Lin Congyun and shook his head. "I saw that there was no one in this room last night, so I came in and didn't notice the box."

Lin Congyun frowned, she looked at the box, and asked Fang Deyu to go closer to see if it was her box.

Fang Deyu took a closer look and said in surprise, "Mom, this is my box. How come my box is here?"

When they were fleeing, the box was placed on the carriage. Later, after encountering strong winds and robbers, the whereabouts of the box became unknown.

Fang Deyu went forward and opened the box, only to see that it was filled with the clothes she had put there.

"I put all these clothes in there originally, but..."

Fang Deyu suddenly stopped. She looked into the box and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"I put all these clothes in there originally, but I also put some jewelry and banknotes in the interlayer, but now they are gone."

Lin Congyun frowned, she looked at the box, and then looked around the room carefully.

It doesn't feel like anyone lives in there, otherwise the box wouldn't be here covered in dust.

"Could it be that someone picked up this box, took away the valuable jewelry and banknotes inside, and then discarded it here?" Lin Congyun guessed.

When Fang Deyu heard what his mother said, he also felt that this was possible, so he stopped dwelling on the matter.

The two men carried the box back to the inn. Lin Congyun asked the waiter for hot water and let Fang Deyu wash up first.

Then, he sent someone to call Fang Deyong and others back.

After Fang Deyu finished washing up, Lin Congyun found a special ointment made by the Imperial Hospital from the space, which had an excellent therapeutic effect on the wound.

She gently applied the ointment on Fang Deyu's face, and the cool feeling of the ointment made Fang Deyu feel comfortable.

"Mom, thank you." Fang Deyu said in a low voice, with a hint of sob in his voice.

Lin Congyun patted her head gently and consoled her: "Silly child, you are my daughter, why are you so polite?"

After applying the ointment, Lin Congyun carefully checked Fang Deyu's injuries. Only after making sure that she was not seriously injured did he let her rest with peace of mind.
