I played as an assistant in ancient times

Seeing that Shen Changshou, who was obviously well-trained, was approaching, the white-haired man subconsciously took a step back, and at the same time, he clenched his hands and almost blocked it in front of him to protect himself.

Shen Changsui saw his elder brother's target clearly, and his heart trembled. He followed closely and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Sui'er, look at him..." Shen Changshou stopped in front of the group at a suitable distance, but pointed at the white-haired man and said, "Do they look like the same person at first glance?"

"I didn't see it." Shen Changsui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether the people opposite him had any relationship with the ferry.

When he pressed down his eldest brother's hand and nodded to Zhou Xiang to apologize, unexpectedly, his eldest brother turned back and took his niece who was sitting on the shaft with a confused look on her face, "Xiao Ye, come and see if this guy looks like Grandpa Gu."

"Not like that." Shen Xiaoye and his fourth uncle looked at each other and immediately shook their heads. In fact, they had just arrived and were bedridden due to illness. They only knew about this person from bits and pieces of information from their family members, but they had never seen their neighbor Grandpa Gu.

Jiu Ye, who was sitting opposite the three of them, frowned to hide his throbbing eyebrows, and winked at Zhou Xiang, who cupped his fists and smiled, "It seems to be Master Shen. I am Zhou Xiang, helping Master Zhuang at the North Cangkou. I think my friend from Liaodong looks like an old friend of yours."

"My name is Fengjiu. This is my first time to visit my father's old friends in the interior of the country. Because of my white hair, I have been mistaken for someone's elder many times." The white-haired Fengjiu glanced at Zhou Xiang. This man was deliberately speaking vaguely.

Shen Xiaoye was still sizing up the other person's uncle, and he came back to his senses and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, when I first saw him, I thought he was an elder, but now that I look closely, he doesn't look like one."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Feng Jiu said as if he didn't care, and then looked at Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang handed over a pheasant hanging on the long stick he was carrying: "It's just a misunderstanding. We went into the mountains to hunt and got injured. We need to go back and rest for a day or two. I'll give this to you as a snack."

"No, no, no. It's inconvenient for us to go home today. I apologize for what I just said. See you again if we have the chance in the future." Shen Changshou quickly refused. Since they were not familiar with each other, it was not appropriate to ask too many questions. After a few more polite words, he said goodbye and left in the car.

When their two carriages were on the official road, he asked Taoist Master Hengxi to help drive the carriages, and he himself came to the back donkey cart to interrupt the two people talking and asked: "Is the Master Zhuang mentioned by Zhou Xiang the son of my fifth aunt?

I saw Uncle Zhuang in the village the day before yesterday morning. He was accompanied by a skinny guy who was going to each house to announce the banquet. "

"It was him. He brought two people with him when he returned to the village. Big brother lost his composure just now.

Do you really think that Feng Jiu looks like Uncle Gu? Could he be his relative? "Shen Changsui motioned Shen Xiaoye to speak as well.

She grabbed the restless little black cat and said, "Uncle, didn't they say that Grandpa Gu was separated from his family during the war? Maybe they are still alive."

Shen Changshou sighed, "Alas, I looked for him but couldn't find him. The Feng Jiu just now resembled the younger Uncle Gu.

And what's wrong with you two? You didn't see it at all?" He looked back and forth at the two of them in confusion.

Shen Xiaoye started to laugh, "Uncle forgot, I had a high fever and some things are very vague.

Fourth uncle denied it because he saw that Mr. Zhou was unnatural when he saw us."

"Unnatural..." Shen Changshou lowered his eyes and recalled.

After parting with them, Zhou Xiang secretly observed Feng Jiu, "Master Jiu, why don't you ask who the two young masters of the Shen family are?"

"Aren't you going to tell me now?" Feng Jiu's heart was actually not at peace. Only he knew that his family name was indeed Gu.

Zhou Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Haha, that's right, they are from the same village as our boss, and Young Master Shen is also a man of both civil and military talents, I don't think you are interested in listening.

Let's discuss which direction to enter the mountain from tomorrow."

"No rush. My old injury from fighting a pack of wolves last night relapsed. I have to go into the city to buy some special medicines." Feng Jiu decided to prepare hair dyeing medicine in advance so that he could change his look when he left.

They all have their own ideas, and they insist on cooperating for the so-called treasure map left by their predecessors.

However, few people knew that after considering for a day, Shen Changsui made a decision when he was about to reach Linghe County.

He said to Shen Xiaoye: "I think about it, if the things Zhou Xiang found are only weapons and firearms, it will not be good for the Great Zhou if they are lost to the Northern Tartars."

“Uncle, there’s something wrong with you, it started when the little cat talked about Zhou Xiang.

Is there something I don't know?" Shen Xiaoye thought for a moment, then looked at the boats vaguely visible in the distance and said, "Do you want to cross the bridge into the county town and tell Mr. Pan what you heard?"

Shen Changsui nodded: “Well, no matter who Feng Jiu looks like, he is from outside the Great Wall, and he may have something to do with the two Dada people that day.

During the interrogation, I heard someone say that the leader of the team was a white-haired man named Jiu Ye. "He dared to wear the iconic white hair without changing it, I wonder if he is Jiu Ye.

Shen Xiaoye: "But how can you say that you know there is something in the mountain over there and show the weapon to Mr. Pan?

And can we be sure who the gentleman will report to, and that the things he finds will be handed over to the authorities?

Uncle, you can’t explain it clearly without evidence, and you can’t explain it even more clearly with evidence. This is not your former home.

Besides, even if there is still this in the mountains," she gestured with a knife or gun, "it would probably be rusty and not loaded with gunpowder.

To be frank, after meeting the above two requirements, firearms at this time are only slightly stronger than hitting someone with a stick.

There is also Feng Shijiu, who they also claim to be descendants of the righteous army.”

"Sui'er, drive faster. The Taoist wants to go to the county town." The voice of Shen Changshou, who was driving the car in front, came.

Taoist Priest Hengxi said, "I need to go to Jirentang to deliver medicine for a follow-up visit. You don't have to wait for me."

Shen Changsui quickened his pace to catch up and said, "Brother, I brought a lot of pine nuts and pine needle tea from Taixu Temple. I also want to go see Mr. Pan and let him taste some."

"When we get to the bridge, let Xiaoye sit over there, and you drive the donkey cart with the Taoist priest into the city." Shen Changshou supported his younger brother's behavior of respecting his teacher.

"Uncle." Shen Xiaoye expressed his disapproval in a low voice.

Shen Changsui shook his head, and when the two cars were far enough apart again, he whispered, “The rebels at the end of the previous dynasty are different from the rebels, there are also rubbish who rob and kill civilians just for their own selfish desires.

Not all of them were like Taixu Guan and Taizu of our dynasty, who came out of seclusion and risked their lives to fight against foreign invaders during troubled times.

I don't know what else is hidden in the mountains, but you have seen the last box, which contains arrow feathers with sharp arrowheads.

If it is a standard weapon, it is better to put it in the hands of a unified official in its rising period.

Put a few knives in the backpack and cover it, and I will show it to the master."

"Sir asked you to lead the way into the mountains. How should you respond?" Shen Xiaoye actually didn't have much trust in the government here.

Shen Changsui looked at the little black cat and said, "Say it belongs to its cave, let it lead the way."

"Meow!" What does it have to do with us? The little black cat stretched out its claws towards him, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Shen Xiaoye grabbed it back and said, "Uncle lied to you."

Shen Changsui laughed softly, "Don't worry, sir, I won't show you. If you don't believe me, you and big brother can wait outside the city. I can take the little black cat out of the city safely in less than two quarters of an hour."

Shen Xiaoye couldn't be persuaded, so she had to wait anxiously outside the city. Her uncle saw that she was in low spirits, so he ran to buy her some black plum ice drink to coax her, making the little leopard meow in the car because of its greed.

And two quarters of an hour later, she finally saw her fourth uncle and Little Black Cat leaving the city together. She immediately became more energetic. During the twenty-mile journey home, she listened to Little Black Cat's stories with a smile on her face.

It turned out that Mr. Pan really agreed with what his uncle said. When they rescued the kitten in the mountains, they saw the knife buried in the kitten's cave.

Not long after, he overheard that a few people were looking for some treasure from the previous dynasty, so he immediately left the hill.

Moreover, the little black cat said that there was a portrait on Mr. Pan’s desk, and it recognized it at a glance as the one named Zhou Xiang. It also asked its uncle to see if the person who bumped into Dada that day was this person.

From his narration, Shen Xiaoye subjectively came to the conclusion that Zhou Xiang might have participated in the arson at the ferry. Regardless of whether Zhou did it intentionally or unintentionally, burning the warehouse was a disregard for the innocent lives of his compatriots in order to deal with the so-called Northern Tartar spies.

As her thoughts were wandering, she suddenly heard her uncle say, "Xiao Ye, you've been laughing for so long, are you missing home?"

"I miss home. Grandma must be worried about us. Uncle, don't tell anyone about my dizziness."

"Did not say."

"Uncle is the best."

However, after Shen Xiaoye and the other two returned home safely, they found that the head of the family had a very serious expression on his face.

"Grandma, who offended you? I'm here to help you vent your anger."
