"But what?"

Jiang Changtian immediately tensed up. Was she unwilling?

"Come closer and I'll tell you," Lin Shuyun beckoned with her finger.

Jiang Changtian obediently moved closer, but Lin Shuyun grabbed his collar, forcing him to lower his head. She smiled and whispered, "Let me try it and I'll go with you."

After a satisfying meal, she started thinking about... well, you know. She'd eaten too much earlier, and now she was craving...

"Yunyun..."

Jiang Changtian's eyes darkened, and desire instantly filled his eyes. He was about to lower his head.

"cough!"

A cough was heard.

Jiang Changtian was startled and pulled Lin Shuyun behind him. Turning around, he saw Lin Dahai standing at the gate of the courtyard with a dark face, looking at him.

Jiang Changtian froze instantly, and hurriedly called out "Father-in-law" in a flustered manner.

"Father," Lin Shuyun said with an awkward smile.

I got caught stealing a kiss, really.

Lin Dahai glared at her, then turned and went back into the courtyard.

"Yunyun, what should we do if my father-in-law is angry?" Jiang Changtian looked at Lin Shuyun with a pitiful expression.

"It's okay, he's just a stubborn old man. You're my man, what's wrong with me kissing you? It's not illegal." Lin Shuyun couldn't help but touch his face as she looked at him like this.

Even with her appearance concealed, she's still so beautiful. If she didn't wear makeup, her face would look terrible, and I'm afraid she really couldn't resist.

Who would have thought that someone who looked so ugly back then would look so good now? He really struck gold; she truly is his precious darling.

Jiang Changtian's eyes were deep and dark. He grabbed one of her hands and squeezed it. "Yunyun, shall we go to the room?"

"Cough, what are you thinking about in broad daylight?" Now it was Lin Shuyun's turn to cough.

They've gone astray, gone astray, really.

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Changtian's eyes.

Just as the two were about to enter the courtyard, they heard Old Man Xu calling out from inside.

"Hey bro, didn't you say you were going out for a walk? Why are you back? Don't you know the way and need me to come with you?"

"I think the weather looks bad today, like it's going to rain, so I'd better not go out," Lin Dahai explained dryly before going inside.

Anyone would be unhappy to see their own cabbage being eaten by a pig.

Old Xu grabbed his arm. "Is it going to rain? It's so sunny today, where would the rain come from? Come on, come on, I'll take you to the market to see the excitement."

Lin Dahai was pulled away and led outside.

"Honey, bring the purse." Madam Li came out with the purse.

Old Xu waved his hand, "My brother's here, how can I let him spend money? Whatever he likes, I'll treat him!"

"How can this be..." Before Madam Li could finish speaking, the two of them had already left.

Seeing that Madam Li's expression was not good, Lin Shuyun asked, "Mother, is something on your mind? I've noticed you seem distracted."

Madam Li's expression was not good, and she said in a low voice, "No, it's nothing. I probably haven't been resting well lately."

Lin Shuyun quickly brought out a pear from her room. "Mother, have a pear."

"Oh, okay." Madam Li originally didn't want to eat it, but smelling the fragrance of the pear, she unconsciously took a bite and finished it in one go.

"Hey girl, come here and let's talk for a bit," Qin Niangzi called from the doorway.

Upon hearing this, Madam Li walked over.

Lin Shuyun said, "There might not be enough rooms tonight. Why didn't I ask Doctor Zhang earlier? He has plenty of rooms. We could have the old man, my brother, and Hongzhi stay there."

"I'll tell you later, Yun, you go ahead and do your work," Qin Niangzi said upon hearing this.

Jiang Changtian suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the coal ball while eating earlier, so he asked about it.

"Coal Ball is running around in the mountains, are you going to feed the stray cats? I'll go with you."

"it is good."

The two talked as they went out the door together.

Inside the room, Lu Qiaoqiao looked at Lin Hongzhi's injuries and felt so sorry for him that she burst into tears.

"Brother Hongzhi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I've dragged you into this."

The whip had barbs on it, and each lash would scrape off a lot of flesh. If it weren't for the good medicine that Doctor Zhang used, Lin Hongzhi would probably have difficulty getting up right now.

If it weren't for protecting her, she wouldn't have had to endure so many whippings.

“You’re my wife, it’s only natural for me to protect you. Why are you saying such things? Besides, those people were originally after you and me, so why are you talking about implicating us?” Lin Hongzhi hurriedly wiped away Lu Qiaoqiao’s tears.

Lu Qiaoqiao knew perfectly well that the man wanted what her father possessed.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "My father never told me any secrets of Lu Ban's art. He just made a lot of little things for me when I was a child, like a wooden bird that could fly and a wooden dog that could walk. Other carpenters couldn't do it, only my father couldn't. Do you think that's what those people were looking for?"

"Is it because of this that my father..."

Lin Hongzhi interrupted her speculation, "Qiaoqiao, don't overthink it. Don't mention this to anyone. Dad is definitely fine. He'll be back by Chinese New Year. Once we've saved up some more money, we'll ask someone to inquire about Dad."

Lu Qiaoqiao nodded, wiped away her tears, and looked down to see a sign under the bed.

"what is this?"

He brought it up casually as he spoke.

"It's a wooden sign with words engraved on it?" Lin Hongzhi leaned closer.

Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly gripped the wooden plaque tightly, her face turning cold, and said, "No, I've seen this on that nameless person before!"

How could something nameless appear in Yunniang's house?

……

……

The sun is westward.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

A few cuckoo calls echoed through the woods.

The leaves rustled without wind, and soon three men appeared in the woods.

The three of them stopped and looked at each other.

Tingni spoke first, "It's like the sun has risen in the west, Yinzhu is actually wearing all gray."

He spoke with a wicked smile, revealing two canine teeth when he opened his mouth.

The man named Yinzhu had eyes as cold and clear as bamboo. "What kind of eyes do you have? This is white. I was in a hurry to see the young general and my clothes got dirty from traveling for a long time."

He received the message and rushed day and night, his original white clothes turning gray. Thinking of this, he tugged at his clothes uncomfortably.

The last to speak was Qingfeng, whose voice was gentle and warm, "Where's Moyun? That kid called us here, but he's nowhere to be found."

Even the usually good-natured Qingfeng had a scruffy beard, clearly having not washed or groomed for days, making his appearance quite incongruous with his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the youngest member, Mo Yun, emerged from behind a tree.

As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by three people. Tingni was the first to ask, "Moyun, you said you had news about the young general, is that true?"

Mo Yun nodded, "It's true. I've personally confirmed the young general's identity; he is indeed the young general."

"How is the young general? I searched everywhere but you found him first." Qingfeng asked excitedly.

Mo Yun nodded. "It's alright."

Yin Zhu's voice was cold and clear, "The letter you sent said that the young general is now the top official in Wuyun County?"

Mo Yun nodded.

Of the group, Mo Yun was the most taciturn.

The three of them decided not to ask any more questions and told Mo Yun to take them to see the young general so they could see him in person first.

Qingfeng asked, "Where is the Golden Snake? Hasn't the Golden Snake arrived yet?"
