There were only two people, Liu Ruyan and Sun Hao. Although they didn't look at Shen Yanqing's injuries, they didn't want him to die either. Sun Hao found some hemostatic herbs on the mountain and pounded them into a paste and applied it on his legs.
After being injured for so many days, they were unable to take a shower. Shen Yanqing smelled of blood. Liu Ruyan had already told him that there was no need to please him. She disliked him so much that she looked down on Sun Hao. He felt secretly happy, having tortured him a lot these days.
Shen Yanqing closed his eyes to rest, but in fact he had already gotten something out of Liu Ruyan's mouth. The two of them were quite arrogant and felt that he had fallen into their hands and they would never be able to pull any more tricks. They were wary of him. decline.
Especially Liu Ruyan, even told them where they were.
It turned out that the broken ship sailed to the lower reaches of Jingshui River. The river here is narrow and there are cliffs on both sides, which is perfect for hiding. The place where they are staying now is twenty miles away from Yangzhou City.
The original village was buried by the flood, and the villagers had moved away long ago. However, there were still a few hunting families on the mountain, and Liu Ruyan and Sun Hao were hiding here.
Although Sun Hao had a broken arm, he was a little clever and went to the village after dark to steal a lot of food. Now because of the plague, everyone is in danger, and these families are timid and closed, and not much has been stolen from each family. , so they didn’t take the risk to search for it.
It was just an oversight. Sun Hao stole last night from the poorest family in the family. Chuanzi's father was paralyzed in bed and could no longer hunt. There was only half a tank of rice noodles left in the house, but Sun Hao was asked to take it away. Small half bag.
Early in the morning, when Chuan Ziniang saw a large section of the rice vat missing, her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
"This unscrupulous person actually stole into our house. They couldn't bear to steal just a few things in total. They are not letting us live!"
"Mom?" Kawako came over holding the little black dog he raised, and when he saw his mother sitting on the ground crying, he quickly helped her up, "Has our food been stolen too?"
These days, food is being lost in the village one after another. They all think that some family is short of food. It's just that it's not easy for people in the same village to break up with each other, and because of the current plague, it's not easy to save them. It's just that their family is so poor, and it's gone. A family of three cannot survive without enough food.
"No, look at how much is missing. It's enough for us to eat for three days."
Food is expensive, and even less will make your body hurt.
"I'm going to look outside." Kawako didn't wait for his mother to finish speaking, and walked out with the black dog in her arms. Kawako's mother quickly got up from the ground, hoping that he wouldn't run away, but Kawako's legs were quick and he disappeared in an instant. silhouette.
Sun Hao went to the mountain again, Liu Ruyan was cooking in the back room, and Shen Yanqing was lying on the bed. Suddenly he heard a dog barking outside the window. He opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head and looked around. A pair of black bean-like eyes met.
The dog grunted and a little boy covered its mouth. After being locked up for almost ten days, Shen Yanqing finally saw an outsider. His eyes lit up and he put his finger to his mouth, "Shh."
Kawako followed Xiao Hei over, and saw two strangers coming into the Orion house that was originally unoccupied. The rice cooked by the beautiful woman in the back was from his family. Kawako covered the black dog's mouth, I wanted to sneak attack from behind and grab it, but when I got under the window, I was stopped by the man in the room.
"What?" he asked silently.
Shen Yanqing glanced at Liu Ruyan behind the house. She was not yet skilled at making fire and cooking. She was only concentrating on cooking and did not notice anything unusual here. Sun Hao had been out for a long time and was about to come back. He wanted to ask for help, but quick!
"Throw this purse at the nearest intersection. The five hundred taels of silver in it are your reward."
Shen Yanqing did not let him be sent to the government office. Now there is probably a plague in Yangzhou City. It is not certain whether the child can go in, but as long as Ma Liangji and Jiang Miao don't give up looking for him, they will find him sooner or later. His The kidnapped address and murderer were written in the wallet. Even if Sun Hao and Liu Ruyan moved him, Jiang Miao could follow the clues and rescue him.
Kawako took it hesitantly, and opened the wallet and took a look first. There were indeed five hundred taels of silver notes inside. Although he had never seen so much money, he still recognized the number. The boy was breathing heavily and his eyes were gleaming. If there were any With all this money, his family doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Maybe his father's leg can be cured.
Kawako's heart was burning. Shen Yanqing clenched his fingers on the edge of the bed, his eyes a little nervous. This was his only chance to ask for help. No matter what, he had to give it a try.
Sun Hao filled a bucket of clean water and walked slowly from the foot of the mountain. Chuan Zi had sharp eyes and turned around to see him. He squeezed the purse in his hand and even forgot to say anything to Shen Yanqing, He hugged Xiao Hei and jumped out.
There were three adults among them, and he couldn't defeat them at all.
However, with all this money, he won't be angry if he can't get the food back.
Kawako ran home like a girl, but the purse in his hand was also hot. His father had taught him that he must fulfill whatever he promised to others. Since he had taken the man's money, he had to leave the purse for him at the intersection.
Kawako looked at the thatched cottage behind him that had become smaller, then turned and walked down the mountain.
Sun Hao carried several buckets of water back and forth. Liu Ruyan was naturally clean. Even under such difficult conditions, she had to bathe every day. Sun Hao fawned over her and naturally responded to her requests.
However, when Liu Ruyan looked at the tank full of water today, a flash of emotion flashed in her eyes.
She had another dream last night. In the dream, although she brought Shen Yanqing back to the Liu family and hid it, the news somehow leaked out and Jiang Miao snatched him away because she was only keeping him locked up and not treating him. Whatever she did, Shen Yanqing hated her to the core and killed her with his own hands, completely ignoring the kindness of saving her life.
The image of blood gushing out of her neck was still vivid in Liu Ruyan's mind. She was in a state of panic today, always afraid that her nightmare would come true. If Shen Yanqing completely surrendered to her, she would have to make him her man.
Therefore, she asked Sun Hao to go out to fetch water early in the morning. She took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from her arms, which contained colorless and odorless powder. Liu Ruyan lightly raised her red lips. This is a good thing, but it is the strongest. Even men cannot escape physical desires.
Isn't Shen Yanqing loyal to Jiang Miao? Then she wants to see if Jiang Miao, who has become Princess Rongning, will still want him if they cook the rice.
"Sun Hao, give him a bath."
Over there, Sun Hao was staring at the footprints on the ground. The footprints were very small, as if they belonged to a ten-year-old child. They were definitely not his and Liu Ruyan's. So, has anyone been here?
He looked solemn, and just as he was about to report to Liu Ruyan, he heard her order.
"Take a bath?" Give it to Shen Yanqing?
"Yeah!" Liu Ruyan smiled wildly, "In order to be sure, of course I have to use unusual methods."
Anyway, she has come this far. For her own life, she has to win over Shen Yanqing!
