The two siblings stayed with Xie Yuan until the end of Xu Shi that day before leaving.

The next day, Jiang Mingyue saw her brother off and went out. She first went to the pastry shop to buy some pastries, and then went to Xu's house.

Han Lanlan's husband's surname is Xu, and his given name is Xu Youcai. He is a dock steward, so her house is close to the dock, and Jiang Mingyue walked for a quarter of an hour before arriving.

The person who opened the door for her was Xu Youcai. The two had met before when they were at the drug store.

"Miss Jiang, please come in quickly!" Xu Youcai saw Jiang Mingyue cheering up and saying kindly.

His daughter-in-law had told him everything about what happened in Jinxiufang that day. He knew that Jiang Mingyue had saved his daughter-in-law, and he was very grateful to her.

"Miss Jiang, I just wanted to pay you a visit these two days! Thank you so much for that day."

"Uncle Xu, you don't have to be polite. Ever since I entered Jinxiufang, the shopkeeper has taken good care of me. In my heart, she is like an elder of mine. How can I stand by and watch when she is in danger."

Xu Youcai couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard this. His wife has good taste. She is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

"How's the shopkeeper doing? Is he feeling better?"

Xu Youcai suddenly felt sad when he thought of his wife.

"She was frightened this time. She had a high fever repeatedly. She couldn't sleep well at night. She kept complaining that there was a snake on her body."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help frowning when she heard this, but she didn't expect that the situation was more serious than she thought.

"Uncle Xu, can I go see the shopkeeper?"

"of course can!"

Xu Youcai gently led her into the bedroom.

After only three days of absence, Han Lanlan seemed to be a different person. Her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and she looked extremely weak. Even in her sleep, she still frowned.

Jiang Mingyue didn't bother her, but as Xu Youcai took a few steps outside, Han Lanlan suddenly shouted.

"Snake, there are snakes, don't come over, you don't come over."

Jiang Mingyue turned her head and saw Han Lanlan suddenly sitting up, trembling and hiding in the corner of the bed, waving the pillow in her hand and mumbling something.

"Don't bite me, no!"

At that time, Xu Youcai had rushed to the bed and hugged his wife.

"Lanlan, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Husband, there are snakes, they are crawling towards us, hurry up and catch the snakes." Han Lanlan held her husband tightly and shouted.

The voice was shaky and hoarse.

"Lan Lan, this is our bedroom. Take a good look. There are no snakes. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid!" Xu Youcai was heartbroken when he saw his wife like this.

Jiang Mingyue saw that Han Lanlan not only did not calm down after hearing Xu Youcai's words, but became more and more agitated. She kept shouting that there was a snake. She took a few steps forward and said: "Shopkeeper, I caught it. Don't be afraid. Look, I have a snake in my hand." !”

Xu Youcai looked at Jiang Mingyue in surprise when he heard this.

Han Lanlan suddenly became quiet. She first glanced at Jiang Mingyue, and then her eyes fell on her hands.

"Smash it to death, crush it to death quickly."

At this moment, it was as if she really had a snake in her hand.

Xu Youcai listened to his wife's words and gently patted her vest, signaling Jiang Mingyue to continue.

"Okay, I'll throw it to death right now." Jiang Mingyue pretended to throw it twice in front of Han Lanlan, then picked up a stool and smashed it hard on the ground.

"Shopkeeper, you see the snake was killed by me, don't be afraid!"

Jiang Mingyue saw that Han Lanlan had relaxed a lot. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her scream again.

"There's one more, hurry, there's one more here!"

Jiang Mingyue repeated her old trick, and after a while she said warmly: "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, I've killed all the snakes."

Han Lanlan let out a long breath and relaxed instantly.

"Mingyue, thank you, you saved my life again."

"Shopkeeper, you see I have killed all the snakes, don't be afraid, sleep peacefully!"

Xu Youcai took the opportunity to help his wife lie down again and said softly: "Miss Jiang is right, there are no snakes in our house, don't be afraid!"

Han Lanlan slowly closed her eyes under the comfort of the two. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two of them and said: "I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I see a lot of snakes crawling towards me. Mingyue , Husband, I’m afraid!”

Xu Youcai's eyes turned red when he heard this. He was about to speak when Jiang Mingyue said: "Shopkeeper, I bought two eagles when I came here and put them outside the door. You know that snakes and eagles are natural enemies. These two eagles are guarding you, so just sleep peacefully, the snake will never come again."

Han Lanlan turned to look at her after hearing this.

"eagle?"

"Yes, two condors, the best at catching snakes."

"Okay, eagle is fine, snakes are most afraid of eagles."

Jiang Mingyue followed her words and said, "Yes, with these two eagles here, the snake will not dare to come."

Han Lanlan said loudly "Hmm".

"Mingyue, thank you!"

She paused and looked at her husband beside her.

"Give the money to buy the eagle to Mingyue."

Xu Youcai nodded, covered his wife with a thin quilt and said, "You can sleep peacefully! I will definitely give the money to Miss Jiang."

Han Lanlan closed her eyes under the gaze of the two and fell asleep after a while.

Neither Jiang Mingyue nor Jiang Mingyue went out, so they just watched her quietly for a while. A quarter of an hour later, Xu Youcai was overjoyed to see that his wife was sleeping peacefully and was not making a fuss.

He and Jiang Mingyue looked at each other and walked out quietly.

Xu Youcai carefully closed the courtyard door, clasped his fists and saluted Jiang Mingyue in gratitude, "Miss Jiang, thank you very much for today, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Jiang Mingyue did not accept Xu Youcai's courtesy and avoided it, saying: "I've got it wrong. Uncle Xu, from now on, if the shopkeeper says there are snakes, just follow her, and then buy two eagles and put them at home. In this way, the shopkeeper will It also gives me peace of mind.”

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

"Uncle Xu takes care of the shopkeeper, but he also needs to take care of himself. I won't bother you today. I'll come visit the shopkeeper another day."

His daughter-in-law was not at home, and the situation at home was such that today was really not a suitable time to entertain guests. Xu Youcai did not try to persuade Jiang Mingyue to stay, but personally sent her to the door and said, "When Lan Lan recovers from her illness, we, husband and wife, will definitely visit her in person."

"Uncle Xu, you're welcome, please come back!"

Jiang Mingyue left Xu's house, went to a nearby pastry shop, bought four bags of pastries and went to He's house.

At that time, in Kyoto, Chen Fugui walked out of the Yamen with a gloomy face. What he worried about still happened. What he liked to do most in the Yamen was to watch people play. Tian Fen didn't even need to do anything, just let others know that they If the relationship is not good, there are many people who add insult to injury.

Today we are just squeezing him out, but what about in the future? Thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness came to his heart. As long as he had someone he could rely on, as long as there was someone in his court, how could he fall to this with his ability and ability.

Chen Fugui felt sorry for himself for a while, and then quickly cheered up. He had to find a way to break the situation, otherwise there would be no place for him in the Yamen in the future.
