Chapter 21 Struggle

When Shen Yuexi saw the official, she felt nervous for no reason.

As soon as she saw the official, she subconsciously wanted to run away.

The official passed her by, and she was so tense that she didn't dare to breathe.

He turned away and walked quickly towards the mule cart not far away. He heard a government official behind him say:

"Just post it here."

Her eyebrows twitched, her feet stopped, and she quickly turned around to look.

One of the yamen servants took a brush and applied a layer of plaster on the wall, while the other yamen servant unrolled the rolled-up notice in his hand and stuck it on it.

Feng Zhang happened to be standing next to the two government officials, his curious eyes looking at the notice.

On the notice, Xiao Zhuo's portrait is clearly visible.

Shen Yuexi suddenly felt cold all over her body. It was obviously a hot summer day, but she felt like she had entered an ice cave. Her legs could not help but tremble.

She wanted to open her mouth to stop Feng Zhang, but she just opened her mouth without making any sound.

Only then did she notice that Feng Zhang's body with his back to her was obviously stunned, as if he was suddenly frozen in place.

Feng Zhang must have discovered it. He must have recognized the person in the portrait as Xiao Zhuo.

Shen Yuexi's mind was in confusion. The notice said that if you provide information about the fugitive, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver once confirmed. That's one hundred taels of silver. She didn't get that much even if she sold two tiger skins. Wouldn't Feng Zhang Heartbeat?

The Feng family was originally poor. One hundred taels of silver was very attractive to such a poor family.

Now she couldn't stop Feng Zhang at all. Two government officials were standing in front of Feng Zhang. She stared at Feng Zhang closely, waiting for his answer, maybe it was the judgment of death, maybe it was the dawn of peace.

A yamen servant saw Feng Zhang motionless in a daze, walked over quickly, looked him up and down, waved his hand in front of him, and asked:

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuexi clenched her fists tightly and looked at Feng Zhang with her eyes motionless, a rare solemn look on her face.

Feng Zhang only needs to open his mouth and say that he knows this person, and this person is in Daliang Village, and everything will be over. She and Xiao Zhuo have no time to run away, no, maybe Xiao Zhuo can run away earlier, and she will definitely run away No, as for whether Xiao Zhuo will come back to save her, God knows.

Feng Zhang didn't speak, he still stood there in a daze.

The officer who asked the question was obviously impatient. He reached out and pushed Feng Zhang: "Why do you keep standing here in a daze? Do you know this person above?"

Feng Zhang seemed to be suddenly awakened by the Yamen's words, and turned to look at the Yamen.

Shen Yuexi held her hands back on the protruding crossbar of the carriage and made a gesture of running away. As long as Feng Zhang dared to speak for confirmation, she would run immediately. As for where to run, of course it was the village.

"No...Guan Ye, no," Feng Zhang's dark complexion turned red. He touched the back of his head and said, "This bandit is quite handsome. I, a countryman, have never seen him before, so I was stunned for a moment."

To Shen Yuexi, Feng Zhang's words were like the sound of nature.

She raised her head with a relieved smile on her lips. She and Xiao Zhuo had not saved Feng Zhang in vain.

She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly slid down the carriage.

At this time, her face was covered with sweat, sliding down her cheeks, and the sweat on her back had already soaked through her clothes.

However, she was in such a happy mood.

The yamen servant shouted to Feng Zhang angrily: "Since you haven't seen him before, you should go do what you want and don't hang around here."

After saying that, the two government officials walked away along the street.

Feng Zhang walked quickly to the mule cart and untied the rope. He stretched out an arm and said to Shen Yuexi: "Mrs. Pei, get up quickly. We have to ask a doctor to treat your husband."

Shen Yuexi looked up at Feng Zhang and saw that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He was obviously frightened by the scene just now.

The time from when the yamen posted the notice to when Feng Zhang came back was extremely short, but it was so long for the two of them.

She waved her hand and stood up holding the door frame. When she calmed down, she did not get in the car, but walked forward side by side with Feng Zhang.

When he reached a place with few pedestrians, Feng Zhang turned to look at her and said calmly:

"Ms. Pei, my life, Feng Zhang's, was saved by you and your wife. No matter who your husband is, he is my benefactor. I, Feng Zhang, will never betray my savior. I take everything I see today seriously." I don’t know.”

Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to say that, and then a smile appeared on her lips.

However, she still had to explain something. She looked around twice and saw no one around, so she whispered: "Brother Feng, my husband is not a bandit. He was wrongly accused..."

"I know everything," Feng Zhang raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, returning to his former honest and honest appearance. "My life was saved by you and your wife. Besides, I have also seen bandits. Just by looking at Mr. Pei's words and deeds, It’s impossible to get involved with bandits.”

Shen Yuexi felt relieved.

Although Feng Zhang was rough and honest, he was not stupid. Even he could tell that Xiao Zhuo was not a bandit.

"And for the tiger skins you sold today, you gave me twenty taels. It's enough for my mother and I to spend in the past two years. My mother has always taught me that a person must repay kindness in return."

Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She wanted to raise her hand to pat his shoulder, but it didn't fall. Realizing that this was ancient times and there were differences between men and women, she put her hand down again.

She curled her mouth and looked at the scorching sky. The birds were chirping, and she suddenly felt that the hot day was particularly refreshing.

Feng Zhang doesn't care about high or low status, he only cares about right and wrong, and he never gave twenty taels of silver to the wrong person.

But even so, the true identities of her and Xiao Zhuo cannot be known to outsiders. For Feng Zhang, the more he knows, the less safe he is. After all, their enemy is the aloof emperor.

The two of them came all the way to the south of the city. The house that the drug store clerk pointed to was not large in size and looked like an ordinary home. There was an ox cart parked at the door of the house, with an eight or nine-year-old child sitting on it. He was using a willow there. Stick weaving cricket cage.

Shen Yuexi walked up to the little boy and asked, "Little brother, does this car belong to Dr. Hua?"

The little boy said without raising his head: "Are you looking for grandpa to see a doctor again? Wait at the door. Grandpa will be out soon. Don't disturb me as I make the cage."

Shen Yuexi saw that he was serious about knitting, so she stood in the shade, lifted the fence and looked at the gate of the house.

Not long after, the door of the house opened, and a woman as fat as a bucket walked out accompanied by an energetic old man with gray hair and a medicine box on his back.

The fat woman said to the old man: "Doctor Hua, I want to go back and take care of my husband-in-law, so I will send him off not far away."

The old man raised his head and glanced at Shen Yuexi, and said: "No need to send him away, no need to send him away, I have patients here to treat."

After the woman closed the door, Shen Yuexi hurriedly walked up to the old man and bowed. Before he could speak, Doctor Hua asked, "No need to be polite, just tell me where the patient is, and I'll go over right away."

Feng Zhang asked curiously: "Doctor, how do you know we are here to see you?"

Dr. Hua stroked his beard and smiled and said: "As a doctor, looking, hearing and asking questions is the first priority. I saw this girl staring at me longingly, so naturally she came to me. You came all the way here to wait for me. It seems that the patient's condition is Is it more serious?"

Shen Yuexi found that she was also a very interesting person to Dr. Hua, and she would have had more to talk about.

"My husband encountered bandits and was hit by an arrow in the back of his shoulder. It has been a few days."

Doctor Hua nodded and walked towards the bullock cart. As he walked, he asked, "How is his diet and daily life? Does he have a fever? Is there pus and blood in the wound?"

Shen Yuexi told Doctor Hua everything about Xiao Zhuo.

Doctor Hua nodded and said: "Since we are in Daliang Village, we will set off now. Baby, come and drive the ox cart for grandpa. It's twenty miles away. Let's have dinner there at noon."

The old man left as soon as he said he wanted. He was so happy that he didn't even mention the medical expenses.

The child reluctantly put down the half-woven cricket cage and said, "Next time, let my brother and the others drive the car for you. You run here and there every day. How can my father be so leisurely?"

Feng Zhang asked: "How many brothers do you have?"

"Two of them, the two who are working at the drug store counter, my eldest brother and my second brother." The boy helped Doctor Hua get into the bullock cart, and then sat in the driver's seat.

"What about your father? Why don't you see him?" Shen Yuexi was also a little curious as to why the child's father didn't do anything.

"My dad doesn't go anywhere, he's just a lazy person," the kid chuckled, "It's not like grandpa, so grandpa let him sit in the Baohe Hall and spend his days as a doctor."

Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang looked at each other.

It turns out that the arrogant guy from Baohe Hall is actually Doctor Hua’s son...

But those are all trivial matters. The most important thing is that I finally hired a doctor who can treat Xiao Zhuo's injuries.

A stone fell from Shen Yuexi's heart.
