You Cha took the wine and the big bowl filled with chestnuts.
"It seems that Mrs. Jun is not brave enough."
Su Han reluctantly spoke after hearing this.
"It was not easy to survive this journey, so our family naturally cherishes their lives."
Wan Chai Tou took the wine and poured a bowl of wine into it and gave it to Jie Chai.
"It's a bit strange that Mrs. Jun can still bring out the wine at this time."
When Su Han first heard this, he spoke calmly.
"This was purchased by the Jun family last time. We were lucky. When we were in the village, we found our luggage. Because the wine was covered in the quilt, the bandits didn't have time to take it away."
Soon the wine was divided into bowls by Cha Tou, and two or three chestnuts were given to each person. You Cha Tou handed the jug and bowl to Su Hanchu.
"Young Madam Jun is kind-hearted in sharing porridge with the children. Because of the delay in exterminating the bandits, we didn't have time to prepare good food. Young Madam Jun has helped us a lot now, so Madam Jun doesn't have to worry."
After receiving You Chatou's assurance, Su Hanchu took the wine gourd and bowl and left.
We are about to reach the northwest, and good times are coming. Naturally, we can't be slandered and join a gang just because we have some porridge.
Sure enough, Su Hanchu and Chen Siman passed by each other. He knew with his toes that the Chen family would definitely have someone come to sow discord because they were not given the Jun family's porridge. But this time, they were afraid that they would disappoint the Chen family again. .
They continued their journey the next day. As expected, some members of the Chen family and the Fang family were so hungry that they could no longer hold on. Without Feng Chatou to protect him, Ning Chatou only took care of Chen Sipan. There were many people in the Chen family and Fang family. People were whipped a lot because they couldn't keep up with the team.
On the other hand, the Su family and the Jun family, because they had two horses and camels to carry their luggage, it was much easier for everyone to walk empty-handed. In addition, they were well fed and clothed. Although they were not in high spirits along the way, they looked pretty good. In terms of energy, he doesn't have that sallow, thin and pitiful look.
In the evening, they found a dilapidated temple to settle down in. Basically, other families stayed away from the Chen family and the Fang family.
Because Su Hanchu took the lead in helping everyone cook cabbage and radishes, the people who grabbed the pot this time also took the initiative to help boil hot water in their own pots.
Su Hanchu still gave the children a bowl of porridge today. Anyway, they could buy food when they got to town.
Many people no longer went out of their way to thank Su Hanchu, but they kept the Jun family's kindness in their hearts and thought of repaying him when they had the opportunity in the future.
After another day of walking, several members of the Chen family and the Fang family died on the way. Due to hunger and cold, many people had already changed their tempers. Even dead members of their own family could take off their clothes, and then The body was thrown into the woods for a potato.
Even Chen Fangshi, who had always been arrogant and domineering, fell ill, but as the saying goes, good people don't live long and disasters are left for thousands of years. Chen Fangshi came to the town as soon as she fell ill.
Because of the previous encounter with bandits, Chatou had lost almost all of Chatou's belongings. This time, You Chatou and Ning Chatou left Jie Chai to Wan Chatou, and asked Wan Chatou to take the exiled prisoners to resettle them.
You Chatou and Ning Chatou took Feng Chatou's body to the inn for burial.
Su Hanchu stuffed Wan Chai's head with two taels of silver as usual.
"It's a big deal. We, husband and wife, are taking people to buy some food. Please be accommodating."
Wan Chai weighed the money in his hand.
"Mrs. Su, you spend a lot of money on food along the way. I'm curious, how come your Jun family has so much money?"
When Su Han first heard this, he looked helpless and spoke.
"I don't have any money, but we have to live this life. We in the Jun family also have relatives and friends who send us money, but everyone, including the maids, put the money in my hands. The whole family is united. This day You can always get by on the road.”
Wan Chatou smiled and spoke.
"Don't be nervous, Madam Jun. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Go ahead and come back early. I'll ask for your name later."
When Su Hanchu heard this, he and Jun Moye also smiled and spoke.
"Okay, thank you Wan Chaotou."
The two of them took Liu Shan and Jiang Like with them, and also led the horses. Since they were divided between two horses, Su Hanchu naturally didn't want to waste anything. He went to the street and inquired about the place that sold carriages, and bought two simple ones. We bought a lot of food and clothing for the carriage, and changed the clothes of the Jun family and the Su family. Anyway, there was a lot of money in the space.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage, squeezed among a pile of goods. Su Han opened the curtain and looked at the streets with people coming and going, stopping the carriage from time to time to buy some things.
"Tanghulu... Candied haws..."
Su Hanchu's eyes lit up when he saw the man selling candied haws, and then he pursed his lips. Forget it, buying it back would be too conspicuous. This is exile. If so many children of the Jun family and the Su family eat candied haws, they will be hated by others.
Jun Moye noticed her expression.
"Liu Shan, stop..."
Su Hanchu was surprised why he suddenly stopped.
Jun Moye had already stood up.
"You wait in the carriage."
Su Hanchu was about to ask him what he was going to do, but he had already got off the carriage.
Jun Moye walked to the candied haws seller.
"Old man, how do you sell these candied haws?"
The old man selling candied haws on a stick said.
"Two cents a string."
Jun Moye took out four cents from the money bag.
"I want two skewers."
The old man happily took the copper plate and let Jun Moye pick two bunches of candied haws.
After Jun Moye picked the candied haws, he walked back with the candied haws. Thinking of Su Hanchu's eyes when he saw the candied haws, he couldn't help but smile. For such a big man, he usually looks steady and smart, but he didn't expect it. Will be as greedy as a child.
Suddenly there was some noise in the distance.
Jun Moye followed the sound and saw Chen Wenlin kneeling in front of the doctor at the door of a pharmacy, begging.
"Doctor, I only have so few copper coins on me. Please help me prepare the medicine. It's such a cold day and the wind and cold will kill people if I take them off."
The doctor frowned and spoke.
"It costs an additional five copper coins to decoct the medicine. This medicine has already cost you less. You'd better take the person back and cook it yourself. Don't delay me from seeing other patients."
The people waiting to get medicine and see a doctor also spoke.
"You look like you have good hands and feet, but you can't even get out five copper coins. If you can't get it out, you go home and fry it by yourself. What's it like to be so noisy here?"
"That's right, could it be that he is a manly man who is just greedy for such small gains? Why can't he even get a few copper coins?"
Chen Fangshi leaned against a pillar in confusion, her face wrinkled as she listened to the noisy sounds around her.
Chen Wenlin looked at Chen Fangshi's unconscious state, and became increasingly anxious. He had no mother, and his two daughters were no longer around, so Chen Fangshi was the only one left.
"Doctor, there is really nothing I can do. You are a kind-hearted doctor, so please help me boil the medicine. I kowtow to you..."
