Uncle Zhong was seriously injured by those two traffickers.

The only doctor in Nanshi came to see him, but said that he was old and had no cure.Zhu Zhu'er was furious, and ordered someone to beat the doctor out of the house, and tied another one from the north on a fast horse, and put a machete on his neck to ask him to prescribe medicine.

The groom was really helpless, he prescribed a bunch of medicines for internal and external injuries, and at the end he couldn't help but say one more sentence: "The matter of life and death depends entirely on good fortune", which almost caused another scolding.

As for the matter of Ye Zuolan and Ye Yueshan, Zhu Zhu'er knew something about it, so she didn't make things difficult, and only asked Wal to take care of their three meals a day, and not to talk to them anymore.

The two siblings knew that Uncle Zhong had been implicated, so these few days they kept silent about the matter of the city, helping to make medicine and serving soup, busy in and out every day.

It's a pity that life is helpless. Three days later, Uncle Zhong passed away.

Lu Ying'er ordered people to carry out a coffin from the other courtyard on the east, put Zhongbo's body in it, and built a simple mourning hall in the courtyard.

No one came to worship, only an old monk Zhu Zhuer found muttered sutras all day long, and Ye Zuolan and Ye Yueshan burned papers along with them.

The ashes of the paper curled up, and the sound of the Sanskrit burst out, rising higher and higher, and finally disappeared without a trace.

On the day of the funeral, Ye Yueshan cried a lot, and her tears fell on the coffin cover, dripping and dripping.

Zhu Zhu'er, who had always turned a blind eye to her, suddenly shouted, "Don't cry!"

Ye Yueshan was shocked and trembled all over.

Ye Zuolan was about to protect her behind her, but Zhu Zhu'er sneered again.

"In the south, tears are also called 'cartilage soup'. For every extra drop you shed, your heart will be softer and your bones will be three inches shorter than others. If you want people to be willing slaves, you must first make them cry , Crying for father and mother, crying for sickness and injury, crying for the downfall of the family, crying for the old people... When they cry enough, cry tired, their resentment disappears, their temper is gone, it will be easy to polish... So If you cry again, I'll sell you to Nanshi!"

Ye Zuolan was startled, and in addition to being frightened, she vaguely realized something.But Ye Yueshan covered her mouth in fright, just choked up, and didn't make any more sound.

Uncle Zhong's coffin was buried on a high hill to the west of Nanshi City. Zhu Zhu'er's mother had been buried here five years ago.At this moment, the husband and wife are reunited under the Underworld.

The coffin was buried in the ground, and after the worship, Zhu Zhu'er turned her head to look at Yueshan and Zuolan.

"You two little debt collectors, I really don't want to care about your shit... But I'm also to blame for following this dead ghost who has cut off children and grandchildren. I haven't been able to give birth to half a winter melon for so many years. The old man will mistake you two This little debt collector is being raised as a cub!"

Having said that, she gave Lu Ying'er a hard look at Lu Ying'er who was standing beside her, who was less than her shoulder height, and then sighed.

"Forget it, it's just to fulfill my father's last wish, lest he come to haunt us even if he is a ghost. In two days, I will send you two out of the city... But these few days, don't be idle, go help out, Did you hear me?!"

Ye Zuolan knew that she was dependent on others and had no room for bargaining, so she nodded and agreed.

For the next few days, the siblings still lived in the inverted room.Zhu Zhuer asked Ye Yueshan to help clean the front yard, and ordered Ye Zuolan to accompany Wal to go shopping outside.As long as they do things well, there is no extra difficulty.

It's just that Ye Zuolan pointed out that since she has a special status, going out rashly might cause trouble.But Zhu Zhuer didn't take it seriously, she patted her chest and said, "My old lady is back, if something happens, I will naturally have to take care of it!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Zuolan really ran into trouble when she went out to buy vegetables for the first time.

In front of a stall selling scallions, he just glanced casually, and found a familiar guy—it was the skinny monkey who was helping the two traffickers stand guard at the door.

After Uncle Zhong's accident, Zhu Zhu'er had already brought two kitchen knives and led a group of people to Nanshi to seek revenge.However, the traffickers protected each other, only saying that the two people fled out of the city overnight.Zhu Zhu'er didn't believe it, so she ordered people to stay in Nanshi for several days, but they found nothing.

When Ye Zuolan saw the thin monkey, she remained calm and immediately went back to tell Zhu Zhuer.Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu'er patted the table and yelled "Okay!!", and immediately ran to the east courtyard aggressively, and caught Lu Ying'er who was busy there by ear.

"Husband, I want revenge!"

Lu Ying'er said with a smile on her face; "Ma'am, if you want to take revenge, just lead someone there. Guan... What's the matter with Guan?"

Zhu Zhu'er cut to the chase: "Give me the treasure!"

"Treasure?!" Lu Ying'er still pretended to be stupid: "What treasure, which treasure? What do you want treasure for?"

"The biggest treasure!" Zhu Zhuer opened her mouth like a lion: "I have long seen that group of human traffickers is not pleasing to the eye, my mother is going to wash Nanshi with blood, and I will kill the group of people who killed my father. The blood flowed like a river, and I will not die!"

Lu Ying'er took a deep breath: "My aunt, the treasure you mentioned was left to me by my father to save my life. Don't dare to move it unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Zhu Zhu'er was furious: "Your life is your life, but my father's life is not your life? Don't even think about it. Today those two traffickers dared to break into our house to rob people. If they don't burn us all tomorrow die?!"

Lu Ying'er made some sense when he thought about it, he was also a well-known feared insider, so he shrank his head and ran back to the east yard, and after a long while, he took out a sealed clay jar about three inches high.

Ye Zuolan stood aside to join in the fun, vaguely seeing a piece of red paper with writing on it pasted on the clay altar.The beginning is vaguely a "Qi".

Zhu Zhu'er got the clay jar, and she immediately smiled.While yelling for someone to lead the donkey, she ran to the house to dress up.

"Uncle..." Ye Zuolan secretly asked Lu Yinger, "What treasure is in the jar?"

Lu Ying'er looked Ye Zuolan up and down, but instead she smiled cunningly and played a charade.

"You have it, I have it, the emperor has it, and the gods have it; but some people... just don't have it."

Ye Zuolan did not guess Lu Yinger's charade, but the answer came to her door very quickly.

After some smearing, Zhu Zhu'er rode out on her dedicated fat donkey, and it took two full hours to go.At the end of the day, she finally came back, but she didn't say anything, just sat in the main room, holding a flower and sighing.

Ye Yueshan was the first to notice her abnormality, and then Ye Zuolan and Lu Yinger also came over.

"Honey, this flower is as beautiful as you!" Lu Ying'er flattered her, "Let me help you put the hairpin on your head."

"Go away!"

Zhu Zhu'er rolled her eyes at her husband, then shook her neck and put the flower in front of her nose: "I picked these secretly from the side door of the minister of Yeting Palace, the flowers in the palace! Why don't you wear them on my head?" Can't you see it?!"

"Yes, madam is wise!" Lu Ying'er still laughed along with her, "Then, madam, have you settled your request?"

Zhu Zhu'er's face turned dark when she heard the words: "My old lady didn't see the real master, she just told a younger one about it. The younger one said that if Duke Qiu wanted to, he would naturally send someone to tell us about it. But when is not certain, and we are not allowed to urge again.”

Just as she was talking, Wal suddenly ran in from the front yard, yelling loudly, saying that "someone from the palace is here".

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the flowers on her temples, then grabbed Lu Ying'er with one hand and ran to the door to greet her.

Ye Zuolan was curious, so she also followed, but peeked from behind a leaky window covered by thin bamboo.

A big maroon horse came to the gate.The person leading the horse was a white-faced scribe in his early twenties.He was dressed in a spotless green robe, with his feet tightly together, barely standing on the only bluestone slab in front of the door that was not stained with mud, and covered his nose with a handkerchief, frowning.

Zhu Zhu'er and Lu Ying'er rushed forward to greet him, and invited him into the house for tea.But the scribe denied that there was no need for it, and directly sent a message: "Your request, Duke Qiu has already agreed. Tomorrow morning, Duke Qiu, the 'old man', will come to pick up the 'treasure' in person, and you just have to serve him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu'er thanked her repeatedly, and then took out the silver collar she got from Uncle Zhong and tried to stuff it in.The scribe didn't take it too seriously, he just said "Farewell" and then got on his horse and left.

Over there, Zhu Zhu'er was proud of herself, but Ye Zuolan became puzzled: "The man just now came from the palace, and I don't think he looks like a military guard, so he is probably an eunuch. But why do uncles and aunts know people in the palace?" eunuch?"

"Why, haven't you figured it out yet?!" Ye Yueshan, who was hiding beside him, suddenly interjected.

"Understand what?" Ye Zuolan asked stupidly.

"It's the uncles and aunts... here... the east courtyard..." Ye Yueshan opened her mouth to explain, but before she could say anything, her face turned red: "That's, it's the place where men are turned into eunuchs!"

After saying this, Ye Yueshan covered her face and ran away.
