Chapter 17 A Female Corpse(1/2)
The first time I was coaxed by someone in such a gentle voice, Chu Wanying felt even more aggrieved and cried even more sadly.
It was not until she was hugged into a warm embrace that she stopped crying in a daze.
The man sighed from above his head, as if helpless, but he was extremely doting. "If you continue crying, believe it or not, they will call someone to arrest me in the yamen."
She cried happily and did not find the two standing in the center of the street. Passers-by salutes all looked at them, all looking at the men with inquiry eyes.
Without any doubt, if she cried for a while, maybe someone would really go to the yamen to report the case and say that someone was abducting the girl, making her cry in the street.
When Chu Wanying thought of the man's helpless appearance, she burst into tears.
"Stop crying?" Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows and quipped, "What? You are so happy when you say I'm going to be taken away? You hate seeing me so much?"
The girl poked her head out of his arms and glared at him.
Don’t you know if you are disgusting!
"Okay, I hate it, my face is abominable, have you breathed?" The man stared at the girl's pretty face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his eyebrows stretching.
Well, who made me owe her a life in my previous life?
Even if he is in a low position in front of her for the rest of his life, Rong Zhan is willing to do so.
Although Chu Wanying didn't understand what Rong Zhan looked like in the past, through the original owner's memory, Rong Zhan never took her seriously!
Nowadays, men treat her so well that they are simply unconditional indulgence!
Chu Wanying felt strange in her heart. Did she save him just because she saved him?
"We're here." Just as Chu Wanying was thinking about it, the man suddenly spoke, let go of her wrist, and walked straight to a shop in front.
After following him into the shop, he smelled a strong smell of medicinal herbs. Chu Wanying frowned, wondering the intention of the man to bring her here, and saw an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles on her face heard the movement and slowly walked out of the inside.
"Ahem, young master, what's the matter with you?" the old man walked up to the man and asked, hunched over and asked.
It sounds like an old acquaintance.
Chu Wanying searched over and over in the original owner's memories for a long time, but could not find any clues related to this old woman.
But obviously, the man had a close relationship with her.
Rong Zhan, "Zhou Po, I brought the girl I told you last time." After that, he grabbed Chu Wanying's wrist and pushed her into the old woman.
When I got closer, I realized that the old woman had deep facial features and had a pair of blue eyes that were different from those of the Central Plains. Her nose bridge was high and her cheekbones were high, so she was obviously a foreigner.
She stretched out a pair of wrinkled hands in the other direction, and the backs of her hands were full of gullies. I guess she didn't live a relaxed life when she was young.
Suddenly, she held her slender neck with one hand and rubbed her rough fingertips against her skin, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Chu Wanying didn't know the intention, but she was not afraid at all. She was just curious about her looking at the old woman.
The old woman closed her eyes and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes, "This child's illness can be cured."
Rong Zhan was about to speak when he heard this, but the old woman said again, "But the price is a bit high."
"What does it mean?" The man's heart sank.
"If it's a problem with money, you can just say that I'll find a way,"
The old woman shook her head, "You have saved my granddaughter, and I have told you a long time ago that money is not a problem, the problem lies in this medicine introduction."
"Have you ever heard of the Thousand Years of Snow Lotus?"
"I have heard of it, but wasn't this fabricated by the storyteller?" Rong Zhan was puzzled. Does this kind of thing really exist in the world?
The old woman grinned her lips, but her smile was even worse than crying, and her blue eyes showed Chu Wanying's incomprehensible emotions.
"If not, how did the story be fabricated? Young people, remember that there are thousands of things in this world, and not hearing them before does not mean that they do not exist."
"What my mother-in-law taught her is, where should we find this thousand-year-old snow lotus?"
"This thing is probably not easy to find in the Central Plains now. If you want it, you can only look at the northern border."
Northern Xinjiang?
Chu Wanying frowned. It is said that the northern border is thousands of miles away from the Great Yan Kingdom. It is located in an extremely cold place with a cold climate and few people. What is the point of going to that place to find something that does not exist or not?
"Okay, I understand." The man replied.
After their conversation, Chu Wanying guessed that the man must have wanted this man named Zhou Po to treat her mute disease.
But this is a natural disease, how can it be cured?
Chu Wanying did not cure this problem through various methods in her previous life, so she didn't believe that she could cure herself in this world that was backward in all aspects.
She thought the man could give up this time, so she grabbed the man's hand and signaled that it was getting late and they should leave.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly stopped and turned to the old woman and said, "Give me some time."
Zhou Po paused her water and looked at him with a pair of slightly turbid eyes. After a while, she said a single word, "Okay."
After walking out of the shop, Chu Wanying looked back and found that there was a line of words she couldn't understand on the plaque.
Maybe what does the clinic mean?
She silently recorded the location of the store and then left behind the man.
—————
After the two of them walked around the market, Chu Wanying opened her eyes wide and looked at the man.
Is Rong Zhan crazy? He almost bought all the rice and noodles shops just now!
After counting roughly, I bought 15 shi of rice and flour! I spent about 10 taels of silver!
Chu Wanying calculated silently and the food increased a lot.
Although he didn't know the intention of men to hoard food, he had to say that he was indeed very wise to do so.
Rong Zhan pushed the cart in front, and saw that there was no girl beside him. He looked back and shouted, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Let's go!"
Of course, he knew that he would definitely make Chu Wanying wonder, but he really couldn't say something.
I can't tell her directly that she was reborn once, and that this food was used to deal with the three-year famine.
Along the way, the two of them had their own thoughts and were speechless.
When they arrived at the Rong family, Lao Rongtou and Zhao naturally pulled Rong Zhan aside and asked him where the money came from and how he bought so much rice and flour.
Chu Wanying did not listen to how he explained, and went into the house alone, focusing on the newly bought rice and flour.
Nowadays, these rice and flour, plus the ones stored in your own space, have a total of 20 stone meters and 20 stone noodles.
Generally, poor families are reluctant to eat this kind of fine rice alone. They are mixed with coarse grains and cooked together. They save a stone of rice and can be eaten for two or three months!
The two stone rice that Chu Wanying sold to the Rong family last time has only eaten a few small bowls, and there are still a lot left!
So she doesn't have to worry about the family reserves.
But there are so many rice and flour at home. What should people do if the famine comes when people are targeting it?
Don’t blame Chu Wanying for having negative thoughts, after all, this kind of thing happened in the past life.
She couldn't tell the Rong family directly that she had space and asked them to put everything in the space.
How about digging a hole? Similar to a modern underground storage bin.
Chu Wanying calculated the tools in the space, but there were shovels.
It was this excuse for digging a hole that really stumped her. On the one hand, she had to avoid the Rong family, and on the other hand, she had to not attract the attention of her neighbors...
She was thinking about a solution when she heard the sound of hard objects hitting outside.
Curiosity caused her to sneak out and saw Rong Zhan and Lao Rongtu digging in the yard with a shovel.
It won't be so tacit!
Zhao came out of the kitchen with the baby in her arms. She explained, "Zhan'er told us all. We thought he was right, so we thought of digging a small warehouse underground to put out the food."
Tsk tsk tsk!
I really want to go together!
Chu Wanying entered the kitchen happily and took the initiative to watch Zhao's fire and cook porridge.
I guess Rong Zhan seemed to have guessed something from the ground without harvest, so he planned to stock up.
This man is not stupid.
While cooking porridge, she quietly took out a few drops of spiritual spring water from the space and poured it into it.
Rong Zhan drank a bowl of her medicine soup yesterday and his body was cured, so he didn't need to add too much spiritual spring water.
She took out the bean sprouts she planted from the cabinet, pulled them all out, washed them and cut them into pieces, and put them on the plate beside them for later use.
Nowadays, there are so few seasonings in this world. All you can use is soy sauce and half a bottle of oil. Chu Wanying rummaged it for a long time before finding a chili pepper, chop it and put it aside.
After putting all the rice porridge out, she poured a spoonful of oil into the pot, then poured the peppers that had just been cut in. A few "stings" sounds, and the oil foam splashed out.
Chu Wanying took a half step back, stir-fryed for a few times, and finally put all the bean sprouts in.
Stir it for a few more times and then it is ready to be served.
Although I didn’t cook much in my previous life, it tasted good at all.
