Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

As the talisman paper burned out, the sky suddenly darkened, like a huge curtain spreading from the horizon, so dark that it was hard to breathe.

After a while, the wind was howling, and the branches were swaying violently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

There seemed to be lightning and thunder among the layers of dark clouds, and the sky seemed to be brewing a violent storm. However, when the incense in the incense burner burned out, the lightning and rain did not fall.

As the last bit of incense ash fell, Master Dao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight back.

The sky gradually brightened at this time, and in a moment, it was as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yiheng was quick to move forward and supported him, preventing him from falling.

Yun Shijiu, who was sitting on the mat, had blood slowly flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

Yun Mo hurried forward and picked her up, and asked anxiously: "Nineteen, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Shijiu opened her eyes and struggled to point her finger at Master Dao. Yun Mo held her and walked towards Master Dao.

"Master, what's going on?"

Lin Yiheng helped Master Dao sit on the mat and used a handkerchief to wipe the blood that occasionally flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Master Dao waved his hand at him and was about to speak when a mouthful of blood spurted out. Then blood continued to flow from his nose, the corners of his eyes, and his ears. It looked very scary.

"It's okay. It's just the cycle of cause and effect, and the punishment from heaven." Master Dao said weakly.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Lin Yiheng and Su Yunzhi hurriedly called out upon hearing this.

Master Dao only felt that his eyes were darkening. He ignored the two people in front of him and cast his gaze towards Yun Shijiu in Yun Mo's arms.

"Nineteen, you must remember to keep your original intention and be kind to others. Don't forget to practice diligently the book that your master gave you. Your practice will not be in vain."

After saying that, he took off a jade pendant tied around his waist and handed it to Yun Mo, "This jade pendant has been with me for a long time. You can give it to An Nan later."

"Thank you, Master!" Yun Mo took the jade pendant and put it solemnly in his arms. He knew the meaning of this jade pendant.

The handkerchief in Lin Yiheng's hand was soaked with blood. Master Dao raised his hand to stop him, "No need to wipe it."

"I'll go find Doctor Lin." Su Yunzhi said as he was about to walk out the door.

Master Dao called him, "Fool, fate comes and goes, it has its own destiny. It's time to let go of what doesn't belong to you."

"Master."

Su Yunzhi burst into tears immediately.

Having said what needed to be said, Master Dao finally turned his gaze to Yun Nineteen and smiled at her, "Nineteen, your master is leaving."

Master Dao's breath gradually became weaker, and finally he slowly closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

The moment his hand dropped, Yun Shijiu spat out blood again, shouted in a hoarse voice, "Master!" and fell into a coma.

"Nineteen! Nineteen! What's wrong with you?"

Yun Mo was afraid that something might happen to her, so he quickly carried her to the clinic to see Doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin took his pulse and said slowly, "Nineteen is fine. He is just exhausted. He doesn't need to take medicine. He will recover on his own after a few days of rest."

After carrying Yun Shijiu home, Yun Mo went to the academy again and helped deal with Master Dao's funeral arrangements together with Lin Yiheng and Su Yunzhi.

When I finished my work, it was already late at night and everyone was asleep.

When he pushed open the door, he saw an oil lamp lit in the room. Yun Shijiu was sleeping quietly on the table, with two lines of tear marks on his little face, obviously he had been crying.

Yun Mo went forward and picked her up, wanting to put her on the couch, but Yun Shijiu woke up at this moment.

"father."

Yun Mo was stunned and looked down at her uncertainly.

"Dad." Yun Shijiu called out to him again, his voice hoarse but crisp.

"Yeah." Yun Mo was excited, his eyes revealing ecstasy, "Nineteen, can you speak now?"

Yun Shijiu wasn’t quite used to it at first, so he just nodded.

Yun Mo kissed her little cheek happily, "Nineteen can talk now. Your mother would definitely be very happy if she knew."

Hearing him talk about her mother, Yun Shijiu almost forgot the purpose of looking for her father.

"Dad, go find mom!"

"Looking for your mother?" Yun Mo's eyes fell on her face. Thinking of the ritual performed by Master Bai Tiandao, his heart suddenly tightened. "Is your mother in danger?"

Yun Nineteen tried hard to say word by word: "Master, it's broken. Dad will go take a look."

"Are you worried?"

Yun Shijiu nodded seriously.

So, Yun Mo carried her to Yun Mu's room, then rode his horse out of the city to the military camp, chatted with Yun Ye for an hour, and then he quietly took a team of people to Nanzhou Prefecture overnight.

Nanzhou Prefecture.

It was two days later that Lin Yinan and Lu Changsheng returned to Nanzhou Prefecture.

The remaining Hu people in the city had already been wiped out by Yun Yi and his men.

During the pursuit, Lu Changsheng was slashed by a Hu deputy general and luckily escaped half his life. He did not interfere in the affairs of Nanzhou Prefecture and just focused on recuperating from his injuries.

Yun Yi has already registered all the gold, silver and jewelry that the Hu people had looted but had not yet taken away.

Lin Yinan took the booklet to the storeroom and saw the room full of gold, silver, valuables and all kinds of rare treasures, which made the ordinary house look magnificent.

For a moment, she was stunned and said in astonishment: "The noble families in Nanzhou Prefecture are really rich!"

"City Lord, how should these properties be divided among General Lu?" Yun Yi looked pained.

Lin Yinan pondered for a moment and said, "Not only General Lu, but also the Zhong, Ye, and Chen families have sent troops to help. Keep the compensation for all the fallen soldiers first, and then divide it up."

Yun Er held a string of huge Dongzhu in his hand, "Yun Yi, can you leave more of the good stuff for us?"

How could Yun Yi not know what he was thinking? This man seemed to be out of touch before, but after getting married, he was afraid of his wife. He snatched the Dongzhu from his hand.

"Got it. Don't move. These are all counted."

"Then you decide who gets the item, and I'll go and exchange it with him." Yun Er said with a chuckle, not caring at all.

"understood!"

Yun Yi was extremely annoyed and wished that he would leave as soon as possible.

After leaving the warehouse, I saw Yun Si coming to find Lin Yinan in a hurry.

"City Lord, what should we do with the concubines that He Xiong didn't take away?"

"Where is it?" Lin Yinan asked.

"In an exquisite courtyard in the city, there is an old acquaintance among these concubines."

"Oh? Take me to see it."

Inside the villa, soldiers were guarding outside the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Yian and Lu Changqing sitting in the flower courtyard, their heads leaning against each other, whispering something.

"Why are you two here too?" Lin Yinan was a little confused.

The two looked up and saw that it was her, and immediately smiled.

"Sister, we are curious, so we came to take a look." Lin Yian grinned. There was a bloody scratch on his face, which looked shocking.

The group met Yu Qiutao, who was pregnant and semi-crazy, in the backyard of the villa.

Without waiting for Lin Yinan to ask, Yun Si described Yu Qiutao's situation in detail.

"She became like this after we took back Nanzhou Prefecture and heard that He Xiong abandoned her and ran away."

"Was she sent here by the Yu family?"

"Yes, there were two children sent along with them."

Lin Yinan looked at a little boy beside Yu Qiutao. The boy was not very old, but his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at them.

"What about the other one?" Lin Yinan asked puzzledly when he saw that there was only one.
