I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Xiaoye used his knife quickly and cut the stick in half. The people below said, "Hand me another one."

She heard the voice and asked hurriedly, "Lu Guan?"

"Shen Xiaoye!" The voice below was loud, with unconcealable surprise.

In a blink of an eye, a man with a head covered in grass and dust showed half of his face from under the cave entrance.

Lu Guan stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Give me a hand."

As soon as Shen Xiaoye put away the knife and grabbed him, the man slid down weakly, and there was a voice below him: "Big brother."

"Someone down there, please help push him." She pulled hard, and it took a long time to pull the man up. Lu Guan's hands and face were flushed, and it was obvious that he had a fever.

Shen Xiaoye had already seen the large amount of blood on his shoulder. She grabbed a long handkerchief from her messenger bag and pressed the wound first. At the same time, she shouted to the bottom of the cave: "Can the people down there come up?"

"Eight, including the kidnapped bad guys, there are nine of us. We are too small to go up.

"Where's the big brother? What did you do to him? The little sister is shaking from the burns, will she die?" It was the same child's voice, but with a more terrified cry.

"He's fainted. Wait a minute, I'll go down right away." Shen Xiaoye's handkerchief was not long enough, so she had to throw Lu Guan away and lie down at the entrance of the cave to look down.

But it was too dark down there, so I could only see a child looking up next to something that looked like a stool.

She said, "Hold the stool for me. I'll go down now." After that, she turned around and slid down legs first. But halfway down, she heard a mess of footsteps approaching, and the little black cat came first.

Shen Xiaoye gave the cat an approving look, and when it jumped down from beside him, he called out, "Uncle, I'm here."

"Xiao Ye!" In less than a moment, the two uncles rushed in at the same time. They threw down the short sticks in their hands and tried to pull her up together.

Shen Xiaoye waved her hands: "I have to jump down to save the children. One of them might have a seizure."

"I'll go down." Shen Changsui pulled her up, took off his coat and threw it to her.

The eldest uncle Shen Changshou was protecting his younger brother at the entrance of the cave and said, "Leave this to us. Xiaoye, go find some ropes."

He saw an injured person nearby, who was probably stabbed, but because Lu Guan's face was lying on the ground, he didn't recognize him at first.

"Okay." Shen Xiaoye did not insist on staying. She was not as tall as her fourth uncle, and standing here was a waste of time.

By the time she borrowed a rope from the cattle and horse market and brought over the patrolling yamen runners, her eldest uncle had already used his and fourth uncle's belts to fish out a little girl who was foaming at the mouth.

The child was hot all over and had minor convulsions. The uncle said, "Get another doctor here quickly. The next few children are not doing well."

"We've sent someone to look for her." The bailiff wanted to take the child, but the eldest uncle didn't let go. Instead, he held the child upright and let her lie on his shoulder. He used his fingers to rub the back of her ear to give her first aid to dissipate heat: "You help rescue her. Xiaoye, go down and help your fourth uncle. The thief just woke up."

"Hey." Shen Xiaoye tied himself up with a rope without hesitation and reached the bottom of the cave with the help of the yamen runners.

It was dark and stuffy down there, and the entrance was facing a tall table that was made out of several pieces of wood. But with the light from the entrance, one could see a man lying on the ground with a bleeding head. On the other side of him were several unconscious children and a boy sobbing against the wall.

Shen Xiaoye stepped forward and patted him, then picked up a child on the ground and said, "Don't be afraid, the bad guy has been defeated."

Shen Changsui had knocked out the thief who had woken up, and the two of them worked together to tie the children up and send them out one by one. At this time, they could hear the footsteps of several people coming from the shed above.

"Sui'er, where is the thief?" The voice of Captain Lu came from above. The yamen runner who was sent to find a doctor reported Shen Xiaoye and passed it on to all patrol teams.

Shen Changsui: "They are tying him up! Captain Lu, find a lamp and throw it down. I think there is something here."

"Wait." Not long after Captain Lu agreed, after the thief was pulled up, he actually came down personally carrying a lantern that could make people angry to death.

When he raised the lamp to look at his two nephews and uncle who were squatting on the ground picking up something, he suddenly met the eyes of the little black cat who turned its head to look at him. He was almost frightened to death, until Shen Xiaoye patted the cat and made it cry, he came back to his senses.

He said: "It almost frightened my old bones to death."

"Uncle Lu, why haven't I seen you all morning?" Shen Xiaoye took the light and shone it in front of everyone.

"There's a generation difference." Shen Changsui reminded.

Captain Lu calmed himself down and waved his hand, saying, "Let each of you discuss your own affairs. I haven't had a sip of water all morning and have been transferred back and forth.

After discovering the beggars, the new magistrate went down the mountain personally to make arrangements and command, and I was even busier.

I was just happy that we caught those bastards at Lingshan Temple, but I didn't expect to hear that something happened here."

Shen Xiaoye said: "The children just sent here are most likely from Beijing.

This group of beggars may be committing crimes simultaneously in several locations. They don’t know yet that you have caught their accomplice at the Dharma Assembly, and they may gather here again.

I just don't understand. Usually, people who are photographed go south, so why did this group go north? "Linghe County is northwest of the capital.

When Captain Lu saw Lu Guan, he had some guesses, "Hiding here is unexpected and convenient for taking a boat south."

After saying that, he took a closer look and asked, "What did you dig out?" I hope it's not bones or something.

"This." Shen Xiaoye moved the lamp to a porcelain vase about a foot high.

Captain Lu frowned and stretched out his hand to shake it: "Is there gold or silver in it?"

Shen Changsui: "On the surface, this bottle is more expensive than silver, it is very likely from the imperial cellar of the previous dynasty.

Dig, there are other things underneath." He said this because he had never seen it before.

Now that there is a light, I can see the mark on the bottom of the bottle.

Seeing him carefully turning the bottle under the light, Captain Lu frowned even more tightly, "It's not meant to be eaten or drunk, and it's easy to break. Only rich people like it. We ordinary people value money more, right, Xiaoye?"

“Yes, but we are also lacking a lot of things, for example, the bowls and plates at home are all porcelain.

Please don't just sit there, help me dig, or I'll go up and call some people down." Shen Xiaoye didn't have his uncle's patience to appreciate antiques in this smelly cave.

Captain Lu was willing to let others do the work and agreed to let her go out.

As soon as she came up from downstairs, Shen Xiaoye ran outside the shed to breathe some fresh air. However, the mule and horse market was not far away, so she breathed in vain.

After a long time of trouble, a group of children and a number of items in the cave were quietly taken away from the market, and people were also arranged to monitor in secret at the cattle shed.

Shen Xiaoye and his two uncles were covered in sweat and stench, so they washed their hands and faces carefully by the stream outside Tangjiaji.

Fortunately, Mr. Miao knew that they were going to rescue people and didn't mind it. Instead, he kept praising them.

Shen Xiaoye turned the topic to cloth and said sincerely, "I may only have a hundred or so pieces of cloth left, and most of them are blue cloth.

Mr. Miao, if you are not in a hurry, we can dye about 500 pieces before August."

"It's a bit too little. It gets cold outside the Great Wall earlier than inside the Great Wall." Mr. Miao was not willing to wait for them just to get hundreds of pieces of cloth.

Shen Xiaoye pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Miao, do you know that there was a war at the border not long ago? Where did you go?"
