Lin Yanyu walked down the steps, smiled at him, and said directly, "Little ghost, please bring someone to accompany me to the grass market."

The circus ghost was startled, put the feather arrow in his hand back into his sleeve, and stopped him: "Sister-in-law, you can just tell me what you want to do, and I will do it."

Just now when the eldest brother left, he repeatedly warned him to protect his sister-in-law. This is a double body, and if she gets hurt, his eldest brother will never forgive him.

But Lin Yanyu said firmly: "Little ghost, I must go there in person today. The situation is urgent. I don't have time to explain to you in case of any emergency."

After saying that, he turned and hurriedly headed east.

Ma Xigui knew his sister-in-law very well. She was definitely not the kind of woman who would act arbitrarily and recklessly. She was very opinionated. If she said so, there must be a legitimate reason.

He thought for only a moment, then called on the nearby soldiers to follow.

The nearby Caoshi is not far from the Li family courtyard, and similarly, it is not far from the Jiedushi Mansion.

The courtyard was given to them by Cai Zhang when they first arrived. At that time, he was trying to win over Li Yanqi, so how could he choose a house far away from him?

Lin Yanyu was anxious and could not help but speed up her pace. The journey that usually took her nearly fifteen minutes was completed in just fifteen minutes.

The Caoshi, which was bustling in the past, was now eerily quiet.

Her chest heaved violently, and as she looked into the distance, her eyes instantly turned red.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and scattered corpses were lying on the ground, mostly from nearby residents, and there were also three or two rebels.

Lin Yanyu's bloodshot eyes swept over to the vegetable stall nearby. A white-haired old woman was lying on the ground, and the blood from her chest had dyed the leaves of the vegetables red.

She knew this woman. Everyone called her Liu Pozi. She was a widow in middle age and had always depended on her son and daughter-in-law. This year, her son-in-law had just given birth to a little grandson.

He is a very diligent and enthusiastic person. Whenever he sees her, he will greet her with a smile or give her a handful of vegetables.

"These beasts are committing evil!" Mrs. Wang's eyes also turned red.

Lin Yanyu passed by faces that were either strange or familiar. She felt as if all the bones in her body had been pulled out. She walked forward weakly, mumbling, "Am I still too late?"

Suddenly, Ma Xigui next to her flashed in front of her and frowned, saying, "Sister-in-law, there is a sound ahead."

Lin Yanyu looked in the direction of his gaze, her sad eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran towards the fish shop holding her skirt.

"Little ghost, hurry up! Go save people!"

She ran very fast, and the closer she got, the clearer and shriller the woman's screams became, as well as the obscene laughter of the man.

When Lin Yanyu ran in, she picked up the boning knife on the chopping board outside the fish shop. Before she rushed in, she shouted first.

"stop!"

The voices in the room disappeared for a moment. When the rebels saw her, their eyes lit up and they said with a lewd smile, "I can't believe that the brothers can get such a bargain today. Did the little beauty come here specifically to look for the brothers?"

He stood up, holding up his pants and was about to grab Lin Yanyu, but before he could move, a boning knife hit him.

It was not known whether it was because Lin Yanyu was too angry or the other party was too unlucky, but the boning knife actually pierced the man's arm. However, she was not strong enough, and only the tip of the knife penetrated before it fell to the ground.

The incident happened in just a few breaths. The man felt the pain and suddenly became furious. He strode forward to grab Lin Yanyu.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you."

Before he could touch the corner of Lin Yanyu's clothes, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and his neck seemed to be blown by cold wind. He fell to the ground without even making a sound.

The rebels deep inside the house had been looking at Lin Yanyu with ill intentions ever since she appeared.

At this moment, he watched his companion being killed in front of him, and hurriedly pulled up his trousers to touch the steel knife, shouting "wuwu scum", and rushed towards the thin figure.

After a while, the remaining rebels were also easily dealt with by Ma Xigui.

He caught a glimpse of white in the depths with the corner of his eye, and walked out dragging the corpse without blinking.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going outside. Call me if you need anything."

Lin Yanyu's eyes were red, and she stared at a corner deep inside the house. She gritted her teeth and said, "Little ghost, tell them to search nearby to see if there are any survivors."

As she spoke, she took the bundle from Mrs. Wang and said, "Mrs. Wang, wait for me outside."

Lin Yanyu's feet felt like they were filled with lead as she slowly walked to the deepest part of the fish shop. She slowly squatted in front of the snow-white body and asked with trembling lips, "Are you, are you okay?"

The white mass moved, turned its messy haired head, and raised the corners of its cracked mouth, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter until tears came out.

"Beasts! They are all beasts! One, two, three of them. I'll just treat it as being bitten by a dog! Hahahahahaha."

After she finished laughing, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she saw Lin Yanyu's face, she immediately said in an angry voice: "Why are you crying? I don't need you to pity me."

Lin Yanyu was scolded, but did not say anything. She stood up and poured a basin of clean water by the door. She threw her handkerchief into the water to soak it, and brought it to the woman.

Without saying a word, she wrung out the handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of the woman's mouth. She wiped gently and carefully, and then wiped her cheek.

The woman felt very comfortable being rubbed, and the malice in her chest dissipated a little, so she simply raised her neck to let her serve her.

She glanced at the redness in Lin Yanyu's eyes and said frivolously, "Tsk, men are still happy. I am really envious of Lord Li now, because I can sleep with you every day."

If a man said this, he would be a total hooligan. Lin Yanyu looked up at her speechlessly and continued to wipe her body until he reached her heart.

The tips of the woman's ears suddenly turned red. She snatched the handkerchief from her hand and said in a rough voice, "I'll wipe it myself."

She propped herself up with her arms and sat up. While she was wiping her body, she asked, "There are so many rebels in the city now. Li Yanqi loves you so much. You shouldn't be well protected at home. Why did you think of running here?"

Lin Yanyu asked back: "What about you? Since you knew there were rebels in the city, why did you run out?"

"Do you think I wanted to come out? It was that old witch who had a snake heart and a Buddha mouth that forced me to do it. She pretended to be weak and virtuous, and every day she wanted to send me out to buy fish eighteen times, so that I would smell like fish, for fear that her man would come to my room and sleep with me."

At this point, the woman snorted coldly, full of disdain: "Only she treats that pewter spear head as a treasure, I don't care, with those few moves, I'm too lazy to deal with it."

Lin Yanyu sighed, lowered her eyelashes, and watched her pick up the torn clothes on the ground. Suddenly she called out, "Yue'e."

"I never had the chance to thank you. Thank you for your help at the flower viewing party."

She opened the bundle that was put aside, took out the apricot-red jacket, and put it on the woman's stiff back. "Now this piece of clothing is returned to its original owner."

After learning the truth from Shopkeeper Hu, she respected Yue'e's wish not to leave her name, so she secretly sent people to keep an eye on her, hoping to find a chance to repay the favor.

She knew that Yue'e came to Caoshi to buy fish every day, so she became so anxious after hearing what Wang Po said.

Lin Yanyu put her hand on her shoulder and asked softly, "Do you... do you want to leave here? Leave here and go back to Yunlong County."
