Then she went to a clothing store and a drugstore to buy some necessary cold-proof clothing for travel, as well as medicines for typhoid and cough, bleeding and analgesics. Before leaving, she went to an iron shop and bought a small stove and matching small iron pot.
There was no way, in this era there were no instant foods such as biscuits and breads, so in order to prevent herself from going hungry, she could only be prepared to cook at any time and anywhere.
After buying everything, she started asking passers-by about the caravan going south. It just so happened that there happened to be a caravan transporting food in Ningyang County that was leaving in the next two days.
Following tips from enthusiastic passers-by, Shen Qingqing came to the caravan leader's house. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf.
Shen Qingqing told her his purpose of coming, but the woman did not agree immediately. She only said that she only took care of family affairs and could not be the leader of the caravan, so she turned around and went into the house to call her man.
After a while, several drunken men came out of the room. The middle-aged man walking at the front was tall and tall, with a Chinese character face, protruding eyes, and a very bad temper.
Shen Qingqing frowned, this man had a lot of evil energy on his body, and he should have a lot of human lives on his hands.
But then I thought about it, for people like them who were wandering on the road, there were many dangers traveling from north to south, so it was reasonable to kill a few bandits.
The man didn't expect that the person standing outside the door was actually a young woman. He squinted at her, spit out the chicken feet in his mouth, and asked her: "Are you going south with us?"
His tone was contemptuous, with a frivolous smile on his face. After speaking, he turned to look at the men behind him and laughed loudly: "Brothers, this woman said she wanted to go south with us. Haha, how can a woman follow us big men?
What are you doing? Is it to hold you back, or to warm your bed?"
The others laughed and looked at Shen Qingqing with lewd eyes, "You can warm the bed, this woman is really good-looking!"
"If I can sleep with such a beautiful woman, what's the point of holding me back? I'd be happy to carry her every day!"
The man looked at Shen Qingqing with a mean smile, "Did you hear that? If you promise to give us brothers some warm beds, we will take you with us."
As he spoke, he started to touch her chin.
"I'll warm your third grandma and fourth uncle's legs!"
Shen Qingqing cursed angrily, kicked him in the stomach with a sweep, and at the same time punched his chin with a fist. This punch used 100% of the force and directly dislocated his chin.
The man screamed, holding his chin and jumping around like red-hot shrimp. Seeing that their boss had suffered a loss, the others were not willing to give up easily, and they all rushed towards Shen Qingqing with fists waving.
Zhang Chengyi saw this scene as soon as he got off the carriage: a woman in red shuttled among a group of stout men, flying up, raising her legs, and punching the ground. Her movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, and her posture was as chic as flowers flying in the forest.
The flamboyant red clothes, jet-black hair, and phoenix eyes as bright as stars were engraved in his mind like a slowly unfolding ink painting.
He stayed like this for a long time, until a thin man was thrown away by Shen Qingqing at his feet, and his miserable scream awakened his wandering mind.
Zhang Chengyi blinked his eyes as if waking up from a dream, and was about to step forward when a man's hoarse voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Chengyi, go home quickly and call for help, uncle can't stand it anymore!"
Zhang Chengyi ignored him and walked past the crowded men, walked up to Shen Qingqing, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at the man who was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out, and said in a slightly raised tone, "Your uncle?"
"Hmm." Zhang Chengyi frowned and scanned the mess, "What are you doing?"
"It was a little unpleasant, but it's okay now. Let's talk. I still have something to do at home, so let's take a step first."
Shen Qingqing cupped her hands to him, turned around and left without looking back.
Zhang Chengyi frowned even more and asked the man on the ground in an unhappy tone: "What is going on?"
"This woman was sent here by someone else to cause trouble. She may be Old Man Li next door. He must be jealous of our Zhang family's business, and he is secretly trying to cause trouble behind our backs!"
"Uncle." Zhang Chengyi lowered his eyes, his eyes as cold as ice, "I'm not a fool. Usually you just rely on my family's reputation to act arrogantly outside. Who asked me to call you uncle?"
"But you shouldn't do this to her, she is..."
Zhang Chengyi's voice paused, "She is the benefactor of my Zhang family. Even my mother has to be polite to her, but you can make her popular like this. Tell me, what good things have you done?"
The man could see that he was really angry. He had no choice but to honestly explain the cause and effect of the matter. At the end, he explained aggrievedly: "You can't blame me for this. She is a woman with thin arms and thin legs."
, and looks like that, who can stop thinking about it?"
Zhang Chengyi's forehead was throbbing with veins, "She is a woman with thin arms and legs, and then what? Then they beat you guys until they roll all over the floor!"
"Didn't I see it wrong?" the man retorted in a low voice.
"You don't need to explain to me, and you won't have to worry about the shipment the day after tomorrow. I will make it clear to my father when I get back and ask another caravan to transport it. We can't afford someone with your character!"
Zhang Chengyi was so angry that he kicked him and turned away.
The man held his chin and chased after him, "Chengyi, don't leave. I'm your uncle. How can I take advantage of outsiders by not using my own people?"
Over the years, he has led a group of brothers to travel around the country and enjoy a good life. Everyone calls him Boss Zhang, which sounds very majestic. In fact, he is just an escort worker who relies on a big house to make a living.
If you offend Dafang's precious son, he will only be able to drink from the northwest wind!
The man obviously understood this, and chased after him with a nervous expression, but he was still a little slow and failed to catch Zhang Chengyi's clothes. Instead, he was filled with dust by the turning wheel.
Zhang Chengyi rushed home without stopping, told Zhang's father what he had seen and heard in the county, and proposed the idea of replacing him.
But Zhang's father didn't quite agree with his suggestion: "He is your uncle, not someone else. It's just a trivial matter. Just teach him a lesson later and it won't get to that point."
"Father only thinks about the present, why can't he think about the future? My son will go up in the future. The higher up, the more people will stare at our Zhang family. By then, any stain can become a reason for others to attack me.
If my uncle acts like this, sooner or later he will become a knife in the hands of others!"
After hearing this, Father Zhang came to his senses and said, "What you said makes sense. Dad will go to your uncle right away to explain it clearly. Our Zhang family has been separated for a long time, and the separation should look like a separate family!"
After persuading Zhang's father to leave, Zhang Chengyi still felt unhappy. Shen Qingqing's words were all in his mind: "Your uncle?"
Does Shen Qingqing think that he and that reckless man are the same person?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly ordered the boy to go out to hitch the carriage and drive to Baiwan Noodle House.
Halfway through, he passed a pastry shop and stopped to buy a few packs of jujube cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Carrying the heavy pastries, he finally felt at ease. This chapter has been completed!
