Early in the morning, the door of the medical hall was crackled.

The doctor got up to open the door, and the eight officials walked in: "Did two men come to you with a little girl yesterday evening?" ”

Seeing that they were fierce, the doctor also beat a drum in his heart: "Yes, two men brought a child to see the doctor yesterday. Official, what did those two do? ”

"These two people are the key criminals to be arrested by the imperial court. You will give a detailed account of what happened yesterday, and if you dare to conceal it, you will be punished for complicity. ”

The doctor was so frightened that his face turned white, and he immediately recounted in detail what happened to Fu Jingene last night from entering the door to going out.

The chief official asked, "You said the child had a scar on his wrist?" ”

The doctor nodded, "Yes, the scar was left by someone scratching." And the child is very weak, which should be caused by not having enough food for a long time. ”

The leader asked, "Think about it again, what else?" If you dare to hide it, I'll kill you right now." ”

The doctor still shook his head and said, "It's really gone, I said everything I know." ”

The official at the head took out the saber on his waist and slashed it on the counter: "There must be something different, you'd better think about it again." ”

Although the doctor's face was pale, he said with a very firm attitude: "The child's face was burned and red at that time, and I was so focused on the child that I didn't pay attention to the two court criminals. ”

At this time, the doctor's apprentice said tremblingly: "Official, I saw that the thinner man had a little red under his earlobe, I don't know if this is different?" ”

"Where is it?"

The apprentice pointed to the bottom of the right earlobe: "It's the size of a grain of rice, and I also saw it inadvertently when he took the medicine." ”

"What else?"

The apprentice shook his head and said, "No." At that time, it was the burly man who spoke, and the thin man basically didn't speak. ”

"Think about it again?"

The apprentice shook his head and said, "Although they speak official dialect, they have a strong accent. Listening to their accent, it should be from the northwest. ”

The leading officer and soldier asked the doctor: "Does that thin man look weaker than ordinary people?" ”

Although the doctor felt that something was wrong, he still said, "No, the young man spoke with a lot of anger and sonorous steps. Not only is his body not weak, but it is much stronger than ordinary people. ”

These officers and soldiers came and went quickly, and when these officers left, the apprentices fell to the ground with a weak foot.

"Master, yesterday you said that these two are good people. Now you see it, right? He is not a good person at all, but a prisoner of the imperial court. ”

The doctor wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "You talk a lot, so don't you hurry up and clean up." ”

He also saw the red dots under Lao Ba's earlobes yesterday, but he didn't say anything. The doctors have very sharp noses, and as soon as these people come in, he smells a strong smell of blood, and the two people who came in yesterday have clear eyes, and they don't look like bad people.

Thinking of this, the doctor said to himself, "I hope you can survive this catastrophe safely." ”

Fu Jingene, who was being nagged, arrived in Qu County at this time. Before entering the county seat, he carried a few stones into the carriage, then drove the carriage into the city, bought two horses, and went out of the city quickly.

As soon as he left the county, he abandoned the carriage. After galloping on his horse for an hour, Fu Jingene abandoned his horse and went into the mountains. Once he had entered the mountain, he began to walk back.

More than an hour later, the carriage abandoned by Fu Jingene and the two horses arrived in the hands of the group of officials who were chasing them.

After chasing along the official road for more than an hour and not catching up with anyone, they knew that Fu Jingene had entered the mountain with Taisun.

The official at the head of the mission had a dark face, and it was difficult to find out the person when he entered the mountain. But soon he calmed down, and it was impossible for Taisun to hide in the mountains forever if he wanted to return to Beijing. As long as a net is laid on a few important levels, it is difficult for him to fly.

Fu Jingene has a strong sense of direction, and he found the Cui family before dark. However, he was worried that someone would come down from the mountain, so he didn't show up, and he didn't knock on Cui's door until after dark.

As soon as he heard the knock on the door, Father Cui hurriedly went out, stood at the door and asked, "Is it San'er?" ”

"Daddy Cui, it's me."

As soon as he entered Cui's house, Fu Jingene asked, "Has the child had a fever?" ”

Father Cui nodded and said, "I took medicine and the fever went down last night, but I still don't have much energy." ”

Because occasionally villagers will come to the door or borrow things, for fear of being discovered, Cui Laoda placed the eighth child and Xiaodouzi in the basement. But at night, let them come up to sleep.

Lao Bayi immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fu Jingene: "Big brother, I'm really worried that something will happen to you." ”

"Don't worry about me." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Fu Jingene looked at Xiaodouzi's face and was still a little pale, and couldn't help asking, "How is he in spirit today?" ”

Lao Ba said: "The fever has subsided, I ate a bowl of green vegetable porridge at noon and half a bowl of dumplings in the afternoon." The eldest lady said that if you can eat, you will be able to get better soon. ”

More than ten years ago, Aunt Cui had to take medicine every once in a while because she lost her son and fell ill, so the villagers passed by their house and smelled the smell of medicine.

Hearing this, Fu Jingene was relieved.

Cui's family is located in a single family in the back mountain, so he is not afraid of being discovered if there is any movement. However, for the sake of safety, Fu Jingene still stopped Aunt Cui from cooking for him.

"If you have leftovers, if you don't, bring me a few sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger." Fu Jingene said: "If people find out that we are here with you, it may bring danger to you and your eldest mother. ”

The specific situation Lao Ba has already told him, whether it is from personal feelings or the righteousness of the family and country, Father Cui has to help the two people: "Don't worry, I and your aunt will not be afraid of death if we live to this age." ”

"What if these people get angry with Dalang?"

Father Cui hesitated suddenly, he was not afraid of death but did not want to implicate his son and granddaughter: "There are still some leftovers, you will eat them." ”

Cui Dalang entered the county seat as an errand at the age of fifteen, and now he has married a wife and had children in the county. This child is also a very filial person, and as soon as he became married, he wanted to take the two of them to the county seat. It's a pity that the two felt that staying in the county was like going to jail, and they ran back in less than a month. Fortunately, as long as there is time on weekdays, Cui Dalang will bring his wife and children back to visit the two elders, so the two elders are not lonely.

After eating, Daddy Cui said, "You have a good rest, I won't sleep tonight to help you guard." ”

Having said that, Fu Jingene still took turns keeping vigil with Lao Ba. Before dawn, the two left Daddy Cui's house, and as for Xiaodouzi, they temporarily entrusted Daddy Cui and his wife.
