"Ah, no, how should I know? I just handed him the water and didn't feel anything."

Ruan Yunsheng wanted to bite his tongue off. What nonsense was he talking about?

"Ruan Yunsheng..."

"Well, I just saw some fish in the river. I'll go catch some."

Ruan Yunsheng put Lu Zhizhou down, and this time she was very experienced and placed the bag under Lu Zhizhou's neck so that he could see higher.

"I didn't realize you could catch fish?"

Pei Yan's eyes lit up when he heard that there was fish to eat. He had eaten Ruan Yunsheng's cooking before and knew her cooking skills. Now that Ruan Yunsheng said she wanted to catch fish, he felt a little excited.

"Of course." Ruan Yunsheng found a stick and said, "Master Pei, can you lend me your knife?" Pei Yan handed the knife to Ruan Yunsheng without saying a word. Ruan Yunsheng sharpened one end of the stick and then returned the knife to Pei Yan and strode towards the river.

"Boss, you don't care?"

Xiao Yi was also curious about why Pei Yan had become so tolerant during this prisoner escort. Pei Yan waved his hand and said, "What do you care about? How can you care? The prisoners we are escorting this time are different from the previous ones. Just remember that as long as they don't run away and arrive safely in southern Xinjiang, we will complete our mission. The rest is up to them."

Xiao Yi pursed his lips. It was indeed difficult to manage. Forget it. The boss didn't care what he had to worry about.

When the Lu family saw Ruan Yunsheng walking to the river with a stick and taking off her shoes and socks, they guessed her intention. Several sisters-in-law and Lu Yunruo spontaneously went to the river to help Ruan Yunsheng, while Old Lady Lu stayed to look after Lu Zhizhou.

"Zhizhou, we are grateful to Yun Sheng for our help along the way. If it weren't for her, we would have been bullied in the general's mansion. When you recover from your injuries, remember to treat her well and don't let her down."

"My son knows. Don't worry, I will treat her well and try to live on. When I get to southern Xinjiang and have a chance, I will redress the Lu family. When the truth comes out, you and your sisters-in-law will all live a good life."

Old Madam Lu's face was full of excitement. It was good that there was fighting spirit. She was afraid that after Lu Zhizhou woke up, he would lose the desire to live and become a living dead, which would be truly useless.

"Okay, okay, mom knows you are a person with strong opinions. You know what you are thinking. It is only a matter of time before the Lu family suffers this disaster. The Jun family has been dissatisfied with our Lu family for a long time. The false accusation is just to make our Lu family lose an arm and not harm him."

Lu Zhizhou didn't say anything. If it was really as Madam Lu said, then it would be fine. However, what he had seen and heard these days was that the Jun family didn't want to keep them alive. He didn't dare tell Madam Lu these words. Telling her would not solve anything and would only add to her distress.

"Well, next time you say something like this, please tell me in advance. I'll stay away." He wanted to live a few more years. He didn't want to hear these words at all. In the past, he was the leading officer when escorting prisoners and everyone had to listen to him. He was the boss, but now when escorting prisoners, he just wanted to be a younger brother. Of course, only in front of the Lu family. Originally, he was also the boss, but he didn't know when his style suddenly changed in front of the Lu family.

"No need. You wouldn't dare tell anyone even if you heard it."

Pei Yan was helpless, okay, okay, you are all the bosses, you are all noble.

"Thank you. I know you are already very relaxed about the Lu family. Did Xiao Yi tell you something?"

As expected of a former great general, he is still so meticulous. Indeed, the reason he is so lenient towards the Lu family is not only because he admires the Lu family's bravery, but also because Xiao Yi once told him privately at the inn that Lu Zhizhou was their former savior. If Xiao Yi hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it. Since the other person saved his life, it wouldn't matter if he let him off a little. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhou still saw through it.

Seeing that Pei Yan did not respond, Lu Zhizhou was too lazy to continue speaking. It was enough for everyone to know the truth. Old Madam Lu also got a general idea of ​​what was going on, but she chose to remain silent and not ask any questions.

"Wow, Sister-in-law Qi is really amazing."

Ruan Yunsheng threw the first fish he caught onto the shore. Lu Yunruo clapped his hands with joy. The other families looked at this scene with jealousy. Fish, that's meat, who wouldn't want to eat it? Plus, when they were at the inn, they could smell the meals Ruan Yunsheng cooked even though they were living in the cowshed, and they were very greedy.

Several families of spectators almost ignored Ruan Yunsheng's appearance and simply decided to send one person from each family to go fishing. If they were lucky, they might actually catch something, and then they would have fish to eat.

"Du Huaiming, please go down quickly."

Du Fangyao had just brought the mint back when she saw Ruan Yunsheng caught several fish in a row. She felt very unhappy. Looking at the mint water in her hand, she realized that the water soaked with these leaves was obtained by her from begging for it over and over again from Li Biao, that disgusting man. But what about Ruan Yunsheng? She had just done her best and was now catching fish again. Du Fangyao hated Ruan Yunsheng even more.

"Go away. If you want to go, go by yourself. If you want me to go fish for you, dream on."

After saying that, Du Huaiming lay down under a big tree. Du Fangyao's face was dark. She really wanted to kill him, but reason suppressed the devil in her heart. This was her brother and she could not kill him no matter what.

"In that case, you can go there." Father Du took the musk water from Du Fangyao's hand and urged Du Fangyao to go down to the river. Du Fangyao clenched her hands tightly. She had just experienced that incident and she didn't believe that her father didn't know about it. But he let her go just because Du Huaiming didn't want to go. In his heart, Du Huaiming was more important.

Du Fangyao no longer looked at the faces of Du's father and mother. She turned around and walked towards the river. At this time, in addition to Ruan Yunsheng, there were also people from the Li family, the Ye family, and the Chen family in the river.

"Sister-in-law, it's almost time. There are already a lot of fish. The water is cold, so come up quickly."

Lu Yunruo urged Ruan Yunsheng to go ashore. Ruan Yunsheng heard the voice, turned around and saw the fish piled up like a hill. He thought it was enough to eat, so he prepared to stop.

"Ruan, since you have enough fish, give us your stick." It was Li who spoke. Ruan Yunsheng rolled his eyes at him and put the stick on his shoulder. "Ten taels of silver for one use, how about that?"

The Li family was silent. They could not even come up with one tael of the ten taels of silver. Ruan Yunsheng was clearly humiliating them. The Li family's faces turned red with anger.

"Yun Sheng, can I borrow your stick?"

Chen Qingran scratched his head in embarrassment. He had never caught fish before. Ruan Yunsheng threw the stick to Chen Qingran generously, "Use it. Remember to return it to me after you're done. Don't let some people get away with it."

Everyone knew who these "certain people" were. The Li family was unhappy when they heard this. "Ruan Yunsheng, why did you lend to the Chen family but not to our Li family?"

Ruan Yunsheng was so angry that he almost laughed, "This is my stick. I can give it to whoever I want. What's it to you?"

After saying that, Ruan Yunsheng went ashore without looking back, leaving the Li family in the river with angry expressions.
