This matter was more troublesome than Shen Huanzhi had imagined. He had originally thought that after finding Xi, he would be able to naturally see her and bring her away, but he didn't expect this family to be so troublesome.
They actually wanted Xi to stay and be this fool's wife.
He really dared to do it. He didn't even consider the consequences, just in case he met a imperial consort or something like that, he wouldn't be afraid of committing a crime as if he were trying to bully the sovereign.
Shen Huanzhi patiently explained to his, "My wife is in need of food. If there is a problem, then there are no good doctors around, and it would be a waste of two lives, if you pick up something, it would have to be returned to the original owner, not to mention a living person. If you let me in to see, regardless of whether there is someone else, I will treat you well, asking for food or money, I will listen to you guys, if you have money, you guys can't marry her."
Although Shen Huanzhi had rolled around in the water for a while, and his clothes weren't that upright, in their eyes, he was still dressed like a rich man. The rich people in the town couldn't wear such a temperament, not only was he rich, he was definitely someone with a head and face.
When he asked for food and silver, he couldn't possibly be trying to fool her, right? What if someone took it away and she didn't admit it?
"You … I don't understand what you're saying. There's no one here!"
"Aunty, you're talking nonsense. I saw it yesterday, and even Bao`er said there was something valuable on her body. This Big Brother is not a bad person, but he agreed to buy me something good to eat!"
"If you dare spout nonsense again, I won't beat you!" Shen Huanzhi took the opportunity to block his hand, "Young mistress, I offer you my benevolence in saving my wife, if you continue to pester me like this and refuse to tell me the truth, then we will talk about it. Since the child has already said so, it would be bad if you don't admit it, furthermore, it won't be a loss even if I go in to take a look, so wouldn't it be good to earn some food?"
"Yes, yes, foolish mother." "It's fine if they didn't come looking for us, but we've already found our way to their doorstep, yet they won't let us in. They've been punished by the heavens, and they've already lost two lives. We can't afford to delay them."
The big fool seemed to have thought of something and suddenly ran into the house, calling out to his daughter-in-law as he ran, "My daughter-in-law is cold, my daughter-in-law is cold. Mother, let's let her come out and bask in the sun, bask in the sunlight …"
The fool's face turned pale for a moment, and was unwilling to gag his son. Seeing her like this, Shen Huanzhi stopped talking with her and used a little strength in his hand to push her away, forcing his way in.
The fool's house was much better than Old Zhang's house, at least it was a few proper stone houses, and there was even a small half a jar of rice stored in the rice jar. But no matter how good the condition was, to a pregnant woman who had fallen into water, it was still like a cup of water waiting for a fire. Shen Huanzhi did not know whether they were willing to cook a bowl of porridge for him or not, but his heart was burning with anger.
Fortunately, they still knew to cover her bed, if it was the situation at Old Zhang's house, they would have already frozen to death, Shen Huanzhi ran over to touch her forehead, and wiped her sweat, then looked at Xie Jingxi, he was dizzy and her face was pale white. The corners of her mouth moved, and no one knew what she was talking about, Shen Huanzhi called out, "Xi, Xi, can you hear me?"
Xie Jingxi had been in a half coma the entire time, but the only thing that supported her consciousness was the child inside her womb. She forced herself to breathe, warning herself not to faint, and not to let anyone near.
In fact, in the past two days, the fool's family had not gotten close to her, but they were all scared of her, every time they got close, it was as if she was faking her terrifying corpse. On the other hand, when Shen Huanzhi got close to her, she did not do anything, it was not because she knew him.
"Child, save, just him …"
Shen Huanzhi lay on the ground and listened for a long time before understanding her, "Alright, Xi, you must hold on, I'll go and find a doctor for you right now."
Shen Huanzhi came out from his house and asked Old Zhang: "Old Master, do you have any transportation tools in our village that allow us to go to the town?"
Elder Zhang shook his head, "They all rely on travel. I am afraid that your wife cannot be shaken up like this. You should go to the town and try your luck. Even the town's doctors are not willing to come here."
"Big sister, I want to discuss this with you. My wife's condition is not good, if you don't save her now, it will be bad, I know you have no bad intentions, but I also don't want to see two lives being lost here. I will leave her here with you for now, I will help you take care of her, I will not treat you unfairly, I will borrow your hands, I will go to the town to buy rice for everyone, I need someone to help me."
"You, you're not going to kidnap my son, are you?!"
"Big Sis, my wife is in your hands. Can I do that?"
After all, everyone was still holding onto their hands, so this was what it meant to bring the fool away. Elder Zhang said, "How about I follow them, at least we can find a way. Your fool won't lose him, I'm here."
Shen Huanzhi was overjoyed, "Then this matter should not be delayed, Master Lin, please lead the way, we will go right away."
When she heard that they were going to the town, the fool happily ran out of the house, the fool could only agree, Zhang Family old lady waved her hand, "Alright, idiot mother, don't force yourself on things that you shouldn't have done in your life, not to mention that the man in her house will not treat you unfairly, if you don't want to lose, let's go, I'll take care of her together with you. Your family has rice, give her some food to drink, it's a pity that her stomach is so big."
The Quadruple Town was a little better than what Shen Huanzhi expected, at least they came in person, and looked like they had arrived. The two of them plus a fool walked for around two hours before arriving, Shen Huanzhi felt around the town to see if there were any familiar faces, he at least had to find a pawnshop.
However, Shen Huanzhi was overthinking it, this kind of town would starve to death if it was used as a pawnshop, so he could only see if it was possible to trade for something. He asked Old Zhang, "Old Gramps, where is the biggest medicine store in the town?
Elder Zhang thought for a moment, "I don't go to the medicine store often, it's not near here. There's a good doctor there, but we poor people look down on sickness, so we've never been there. There's one near the grain storehouse, we can just turn around."
Shen Huanzhi pondered, he still needed to go to grain storehouse first, that place should be good for trading, there was even a piece of jade around his neck, it was the only thing that was not washed away, it would be good to earn some silver, thus under Old Zhang's guidance, the three of them entered the grain storehouse that was not too far away.
From time to time, there would be people pulling carts in and out. Shen Huanzhi was a little suspicious, "Old Gramps, do we have some special food to sell here?"
reckoned that the largest grain storehouse in the entire town was only at this scale. According to the quantity of people that were needed, even if all the grain storehouse in the town were to be purchased from him, there would still be a need for such a large amount.
Elder Zhang said: "You're right, there's a eastern fencing village about ten kilometers away from here. The wheat there is very famous, and every year many grain merchants come to collect it.
Shen Huanzhi walked into the grain storehouse, and immediately a servant came up to greet him. Seeing his dressing, the attendant was very warm as he said, "Oh, this master knows no better, are you here to buy rations or are you here to negotiate a business deal?"
Shen Huanzhi said: "I'm looking for your boss, are you there?"
"Looking for our boss? May I know your name?"
Shen Huanzhi thought for a moment, "Immediately report your Feng's to your boss."
When the person heard the two words Feng's, his face froze for a moment, "Please wait a moment, I'll go bring you a message right now."
The Feng Family's grain storehouse was one of the top in the grain merchants. If the person selling the food did not know the weight of these two words, then they would not take advantage of this earlier. Since Shen Huanzhi could not easily expose his name as Right Shore Merchant Union, he could only use Feng Dong's name as a cover.
The name of Feng's was indeed good, after a while, someone came out. Shen Huanzhi was startled, he did not expect the owner to be a young lady.
It was a little hard to deal with. It was good to coerce and coerce with words between men. It was a bit embarrassing to be with women. Moreover, this woman was not easy to talk to, so her temperament was not any worse than that of a man.
She looked at Shen Huanzhi and went straight to the point, "Are you from Feng's?"
Shen Huanzhi cupped his hands in courtesy, "That's right, I wonder if Miss is the owner of this place?"
"You said that you're from Feng's, but do you have any proof? Feng's have already accounted for more than half of the grain purchases in the village. I can't think of any reason why you would want to find a peddler like us?"
Shen Huanzhi smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had reported the name of the Feng's wrongly, he did not believe it at all.
"Miss, I don't know if there is any place to discuss business in private. If you trust me, just listen to me."
This girl was quite bold. She was stunned for a moment before she happily agreed, "Alright then, come with me."
Shen Huanzhi had to thank him for having such an elegant and polite body. He didn't think that he was a bad guy at all, and felt that he might be more useful to a girl.
"What is the lady's surname?"
"My name is Ye Ying."
"So it's the Ye Clan."
Ye Ying brought him to the rear courtyard, stopped and turned, then looked at him with his arms crossed, his face cold and expressionless, "If there's something you want to say, just say it."
Shen Huanzhi said with a straight face, "To be honest, I'm here to exchange for silver."
Ye Ying almost sprayed out blood.
