A few people found a teahouse to rest, and the waiter almost started working in the waiting room. After taking two steps, he groaned and remembered that he was not in his own inn. He patted his head and sat back down.
"Little brother, I haven't asked you your name for so long. How do you call me?" Ruan Xianbei asked.
The waiter grinned: "The younger one is really called the waiter."
Cheng Suisui held the tea and asked, "Really?"
"Really." The waiter's expression was particularly sincere. "The shopkeeper was kind-hearted. He gave me food when I was about to starve to death. He also asked my name and thought I was suitable for being a waiter, so he brought it back to me."
He is also a miserable person. Ruan Xianbei sighed: "The shopkeeper is not only kind-hearted but also very discerning."
The waiters in this shop do such a good job that they can stand up to ten of them.
When talking about their shopkeeper, the waiter's expression became serious and pious: "What the girl said is that the shopkeeper is a kind-hearted person."
"By the way, why haven't I seen your shopkeeper these days?" Ruan Xianbei asked. The shopkeeper's sister lazily leaned against the counter and attracted many people to this store every day.
Great beauty, living sign.
The waiter said: "The shopkeeper went out for something, so he just explained a few words. There is nothing that a young person can ask."
Also, how can a shopkeeper tell his servants everything? Ruan Xianbei also asked casually, and the few of them stopped discussing the shopkeeper's affairs and chatted casually while waiting for Fu Cheng and Lan Zhao to come back. @
Fu Cheng and Lan Zhao walked to the lake and saw a woman holding a baby and crying.
There was a woman nearby who was dragging her hair and asking her to leave, trying to snatch the baby in her arms.
The woman broke free from the restraints of others and continued to rush into the lake. She didn't run a few steps before she was pulled back again. As she got closer, she heard the baby in her arms crying too.
The high-pitched cry of the baby mixed with the cry of the woman, and the listener felt uncomfortable together.
The woman was beating her while cursing: "Little ***, let's see if I don't beat you to death! How dare you run away if you can do such a thing? Do you want to die? Why don't you find a clean place to die if you want to die?!"
The woman just held the child tightly and cried without saying a word.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and advised the woman: "Banmei, just listen to your mother and go back with her. There is no overnight feud between the two of you."
Someone else advised the woman: "Banmei mother, please stop beating the child. How pitiful."
"Yeah, yeah, it's heart-wrenching to hear."
"Those unruly little bastards will treat me as a cleansing house!"
Compared with the vicious woman, the woman named Banmei suddenly looked pitiful and miserable. Finally, when the woman slapped her down again, Fu Cheng took action.
"Ouch!" The woman felt as if her hand had hit a wall. The shock caused her hand to shrink back with a cry of pain.
The ten-year-old boy stretched out his sword scabbard and stood between them. Unexpectedly, the woman intervened and cursed angrily: "Is this your godfather? You came just in time, I and I will fight together!"
The woman raised her hand to slap Fu Cheng again. Although she knew that the slap could not hit Fu Cheng, Lanzhao was still shocked and reminded her: "Fu Cheng, be careful!"
Fu Cheng turned around and smiled at her when he had time, and raised his hand to block the woman's slap. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move forward, so she spat in his face.
"Why are you like this, auntie?" Fu Cheng took a step aside in disgust, barely getting his clothes stained by his saliva. He was so disgusted.
"Who are you? Don't mind our family's affairs! This girl will have to die in our house today!"
The woman wanted to go, but Fu Cheng blocked her path and said, "Auntie, you can't get through with me."
The woman still wanted to take action, but after two confrontations, she knew that this young man seemed to be very powerful, so she had to point at them and cursed loudly, using all the vulgar words and curses. Fu Cheng frowned and tapped her on her vagina. I couldn't speak anymore while I was still there.
"Sister Lan Zhao, go and see her quickly."
As early as Fu Cheng stood in front of her, Lan Zhao quickly walked over and knelt down to check the woman's condition. The most important thing was that the baby's crying was getting weaker and weaker, as if it would die at any time.
Having heard the woman's name from others before, Lan Zhao said softly: "Sister Banmei, relax a little and let me see the child."
.
Banmei still held her tightly and refused to let go, nor did she look at anyone. Without the woman's pull, she pushed Lan Zhao away and stood up again to run to the lake, but this time she only took two steps before falling. When I got out, the child also flew away!
"Ah child!"
Everyone was nervous after seeing this accident. If such a young child fell to the ground, he might not survive!
Everyone else was too far away. Banmei, who had fallen down, was stunned and forgot to cry. She reached out to the baby, but she was too weak. She had just given birth and ran out with a breath. This time How can you continue your breath once it's broken?
Maybe this was her fate. She stared blankly at the falling baby being steadily caught by the beautiful woman.
Bystanders only saw the woman who was still a few steps away duck out, but did not see her movements clearly. Then they looked at the child being held in the woman's arms, and her mind was relieved. The goddess has the virtue of a happy life. That is a small life.
Lan Zhao squatted down again. As soon as she got close to Banmei, she shrank back nervously. Lan Zhao returned the baby to her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor. I'd better hold the baby for you, okay?"
Banmei took the child and was on guard at first, but when she saw the child's face turning blue, she burst into tears again and begged Lan Zhao to save her child.
"Banmei. Calm down, don't shake your hands, hug him and open his clothes."
Lan Zhao's voice soothed Banmei like magic. Seeing the child's condition, she knew there was no need to wait. She opened the box she carried with her and took out a golden needle to prick the child.
Banmei watched the long golden needles piercing the child's body one by one without daring to breathe, for fear that if she moved, Lan Zhao's movements would be affected and the needles would be twisted. Update without error@
After a while, Lan Zhao pulled out a few golden needles, asked Banmei to stand the baby up and patted his back. The baby, whose eyes had been closed since just now, let out a cry again.
Some people who were very close started to sigh like the people next to them after watching the whole process of the baby from holding his breath to being rescued: "What a miracle doctor!!!"
Banmei knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lan Zhao with tears in her eyes, and a burst of cheers erupted from all around.
"Doctor, miracle doctor! Can you take me away?" Banmei pulled Lan Zhao's clothes with a sad expression and said, "I really have no way out."
Lan Zhao frowned, what's going on?
Banmei's face was pale and her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks. She coaxed the baby in her arms unskilledly and said to Lan Zhao: "My mother wants to marry me to an old man in exchange for money. I heard her discussing with others and secretly I ran out, but I didn’t expect that I was already pregnant...I could only hide outside...She came to my door just after I gave birth today...I was She will definitely beat me to death if I take her back... Since I am bound to die anyway, I just want to take my child with me to keep company with the goddess."
"Why did your mother beat you to death?"
Even though tiger poison doesn't eat its children, this woman's attitude towards Banmei is very strange. How can any mother treat her child like this?
Banmei smiled bitterly: "My father likes boys. I was bullied a lot when my mother gave birth to her first child... I prayed to many temples and many doctors and took many folk prescriptions before I gave birth to my younger brother. And my younger brother was born a few days ago." I got into a fight with someone and was imprisoned. The other party wanted money, and if he didn't have money, he would torture his brother to death. My father beat my mother, and my mother beat me. There was nothing I could do about it."
"The old man offered us a price that we can use to pay off debts and still have some left over for my brother to marry and have children." Banmei laughed at herself. The so-called having children means giving birth to a daughter and then exchanging money to raise a son. This is her value, right? .
Lan Zhao was silent, such stories were not uncommon at all.
"Please help me, sister, the miracle doctor. I lost my innocence and angered the old man. If I can't get the money, my mother will use me to match the ghost marriage!" Seeing Lan Zhao's silence, Banmei earnestly grabbed her He was holding her clothes but didn't dare to grab her hand: "I can do anything. I can do anything."
"Where is that man?" Lan Zhao asked.
"He's dead." Banmei lowered his eyes and his expression instantly became indifferent.
It was obvious that this sentence was a lie, but she was unwilling to tell the truth and Lan Zhao did not pursue it. After all, if the man was not there when she needed it most, it would be the same as dead.
Lan Zhao hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Fu Cheng, who was facing them.
The woman standing face to face looked like she could really do such a thing.
"Take this." Lan Zhao poured out two pills for her. "It's for blood and qi."
Banmei quickly took it and swallowed it, then kowtowed to Lan Zhao to thank her for her great mercy.
Lan Zhao stopped her movement. The woman who had just given birth was very weak. She should take a good rest.
She took out a small whistle hanging around her neck and blew it. This was the contact information Ruan Xianbei gave her. As soon as the whistle sounded, Ruan Xianbei, who was far away in the teahouse, stood up immediately.
"What happened?"
While listening to the waiter telling a story, Cheng Suisui was startled. Shen Xuan also caught the whistle and asked, "What happened?"
Ruan Xianbei said: "Well, this is my contact signal to Zhaozhao. Now go out and get on the carriage and wait for us at the door. I will go find her and come right away."
"Do you want us to go together? If something happens to Fu Cheng, can you handle it?" Cheng Suisui also became nervous.
"You go out and wait first, there are too many people. Don't worry, I'm much more powerful than brother Fu Cheng."
"Saint girl, I'll go with you." Mi You, who had always looked like an invisible man, said.
"Okay, let's go."
...
As soon as Ruan Xianbei arrived at the place where they separated, he saw Lan Zhao. It was really conspicuous. It was difficult not to notice it when surrounded by people. Where was Fu Cheng?
Mi You, who had come with her, disappeared into the crowd like a drop of water falling into the ocean.
Why is Fu Cheng blocking an aunt? Oh, this aunt looks very mean and mean.
There was a woman next to Lan Zhao. Ruan Xianbei sighed, do you want to do good things again?
"Zhaozhao, what's wrong?"
Banmei shrank back when she saw the strange woman coming, looking very scared.
Lan Zhao briefly talked about the woman's affairs. After listening, Ruan Xianbei asked: "Have you made your decision?"
"Well, as a woman, I can't just ignore death..."
"Then let's go." Ruan Xianbei glanced at Banmei, who kept his head lowered and acted submissively. If Lan Zhao wants to do it, then do it.
"But we can only take her out, and she will have to rely on herself for the rest."
Lan Zhao asked her: "Can you? We can save you for a while, but we cannot save you for the rest of your life."
Banmei said with a tearful voice: "I can, I can, thank you, sister, the miracle doctor, thank you, sister, the miracle doctor!"
With Lan Zhao's help, Banmei stood up and followed them.
Ruan Xianbei turned around and shouted: "Fu Cheng, let's go. Correct update@"
"Here we come!" Fu Cheng responded, great, everything has been settled and we can go back!
"Hey, is this girl coming with us?"
"Well, Sister Lan Zhao is kind-hearted."
Fu Cheng smiled and said, "Sisters are all kind-hearted."
"Little brother! You haven't relieved Banmei's mother yet!" someone shouted from behind.
Fu Cheng waved his hands and said without looking back: "In another hour, it will be solved naturally!"
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run. Only in this way can you survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should I inform Li?
Where is Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo ho, ho ho!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and search me for me."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the credit of the ten of us."
