"Master's wife, I'm going to trouble you next. You have the best lightness skills and can communicate secretly with my third brother." Xie Xu looked at Shangguan Ying respectfully.

Shangguan Ying looked like she was about to make a move, and waved her hand: "It's just a small matter, leave it to me."

After the discussion, everyone dispersed.

Ye Qinglin yawned, gave Xie Xu a bowl of spring water, and applied a layer of water to his knees, muttering, "Third brother has sobered up after drinking the spring water, and Xie Xu's knees will get better too."

Hearing this, Xie Xu smiled and said nothing.

After finishing her work, Ye Qinglin stood up and saw that Xie Xu was fast asleep. She tucked the quilt in for him and slipped into the space.

She harvested the rice and sweet potatoes, then the vegetables, and also the corns, soybeans and black beans that she had planted two days ago.

Then she came to the medicinal field and found that the ginseng planted on the golden land had blossomed and borne fruit, and there were three small seedlings growing underneath.

Three small red Ganoderma lucidum and small Polygonum multiflorum also appeared next to the red Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum.

Ye Qinglin was worried that they would compete for nutrients in the golden land, so she planned to move ginseng, red ganoderma and Polygonum multiflorum to another piece of golden land.

When she pulled them out of the ground with a wave of her hand, she was stunned.

The ginseng had grown larger than her palm and was emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance. Just one breath of it made her feel refreshed.

The size of the red Ganoderma lucidum is a bit exaggerated. It doesn't look big when planted in the golden soil, but it will grow bigger by itself after being dug out. It is about half an arm's length and is estimated to weigh more than 30 kilograms.

What surprised Ye Qinglin the most was Polygonum multiflorum. She remembered that when she planted it, it was only the size of a palm, but when she dug it out, it was as tall as a five-year-old child and weighed almost 40 kilograms.

Ye Qinglin swallowed her saliva and instead of planting them in another piece of golden land, she put them in a box and placed it in the wooden house.

Then Ye Qinglin planted crops on the six acres of land, two acres of sweet potatoes, two acres of rice, and two acres of corn. After finishing, she left the space, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

But she slept uneasily. Blurry images flashed through her mind, but she could neither see them clearly nor grasp them.

When Ye Qinglin woke up early in the morning, she felt dizzy and rubbed her temples.

Xie Xu noticed her strangeness, rubbed her head, and asked worriedly: "Alin, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Ye Qinglin said casually, "I had a dream last night, but I can't remember what I dreamed about."

"Then don't think about it." Xie Xu advised in a gentle voice.

Ye Qinglin nodded, and soon her headache went away. After washing up, she took out food from the space and asked everyone to come over for breakfast.

After breakfast, Shangguan Ying disappeared.

She didn't come back until noon, and as soon as she came back, she asked Ye Qinglin to give her a bowl of spring water.

Ye Qinglin didn't ask anything and handed over a bowl of spring water.

After drinking a bowl of spring water, Shangguan Ying took a breath and said, "I finally found out where Crazy Du put the people he captured."

Shangguan Ying’s words made Xie Xu’s eyes light up, and he looked at her straight.

"Crazy Du placed the people in a dilapidated courtyard dungeon outside the city. If I hadn't followed quietly today, I really wouldn't have found it."

Hearing this, Ye Qinglin looked at Xie Xu unconsciously: "Do you need to explore again?"

Xie Xu nodded slightly: "Master's Wife, please go check if there is anyone in the dungeon today. I'm worried that this is a trap set by Crazy Du."

Shangguan Ying patted his chest and said confidently: "Leave it to me."

Night falls.

Ye Qinglin and others were waiting for news from Shangguan Ying at the inn.

Three incense sticks later, Shangguan Ying came back, looking unhappy.

"Master's wife, something happened?" Xie Xu asked anxiously.

Shangguan Ying pursed her lips and nodded: "Crazy Du found out and took the people in the dungeon away. I went to find Xie Sanlang, but Xie Sanlang didn't know either."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and frowned.

At this time, a young man hurried over, put the note in Xie Xu's hand and left.

Seeing the note, Xie Xu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at everyone: "The people in the yard were taken by Crazy Du to a cave called Furong Village, and those people are in danger and are likely to die.

Moreover, Crazy Du planned to dump the bodies of the people he tested poison on into a nearby river after they died, thus creating a plague."

When everyone heard this, they gasped.

Shangguan Ying was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up: "This crazy Du is still as annoying as before! Ah Yu, Yu'er, come with me to rescue them."

Shangguan Ying hurried out of the room, and returned a moment later, smiling awkwardly at Ye Qinglin: "Ah Lin, I have to bring some spring water to help those who are testing the poison to detoxify them."

Ye Qinglin was already prepared and handed three water bags filled with spring water to Shangguan Ying.

"Master's wife, please be careful."

Shangguan Ying gave Ye Qinglin a reassuring look, then left angrily with Dongfang Yu and Bai Yuer.

Xie Cong and Xie Ling wanted to go over to help, but were stopped by Xie Xu's look.

"You are still young. Going together will only cause trouble. Stay in the inn."

In fact, Xie Xu also wanted to help, but he...

Xie Xu lowered his eyes and looked at his legs solemnly.

Seeing what Xie Xu was thinking, Ye Qinglin stepped forward, tightly grasped his broad palm with her slender fingers, and looked at him with comforting eyes.

Xie Xu concealed the expression in his eyes and smiled faintly at Ye Qinglin.

For some reason, Xie Xu felt sleepy again. His eyelids were drooping, but he forced himself to stay awake.

Seeing this, Chen and others thought that Xie Xu did not sleep because of the matter of Xie Sanlang and the old members of the Xie family, so they asked Xie Xu to have a good rest and left.

Xie Xu felt strange that he seemed to not be getting enough sleep these days.

Ye Qinglin was worried, so she asked Liu Yueshi to take Xie Xu's pulse.

After Liu Yueshi took the patient's pulse, he smiled honestly and said, "He is in good health."

After hearing these words, Xie Xu felt relieved, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

While Xie Xu was sleeping, Ye Qinglin walked out of the room and wanted to buy something, but saw a familiar figure walking into the alley.

Ye Qinglin followed him subconsciously and called out softly, "Uncle."

Old man Chen stopped, looked at Ye Qinglin quietly with his majestic eyes, then took something out of his arms and threw it to Ye Qinglin.

Ye Qinglin reached out and took the thing thrown to her by Old Man Chen. She looked down and was stunned.

"Uncle, is this a peace locket?"

"Yes." Old man Chen replied solemnly.

Ye Qinglin blinked her eyes: "It's exactly the same as the Chen family heirloom."

Old man Chen smiled and said, "You will need it."

After he finished speaking, Old Man Chen turned and left.

Ye Qinglin still had many more questions to ask, but unfortunately Old Man Chen was gone.

On the other side, in Furong Village.

Shangguan Ying, Dongfang Yu and Bai Yuer hid in the woods and watched Crazy Du and Xie Sanlang walk into the cave, but they did not come out for a long time.

"Why hasn't he come out yet?" Shangguan Ying frowned, feeling something was wrong: "Could it be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu and Bai Yu'er were slightly startled and suggested: "Master's wife, let's go in and take a look."

Shangguan Ying nodded. This was exactly what she meant. However, she asked Dongfang Yu and Bai Yuer to wait outside and she went in alone.

The sound of whip cracking came from the cave. Shangguan Ying frowned slightly and moved quietly, getting closer to the source of the sound.
