It was getting slightly brighter, and a group of carriages and horses continued to move forward.
"Brother, haven't you eaten yet?" a voice came, and Zheng Ze looked back.
The old man handed over a bag of dry food with a smile, and then rubbed his hands, "It seems that I don't go on the road often. If I don't have something to eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to noon!"
I took the cloth package and found some dried meat inside. I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. It was very salty.
"Thank you, old man."
Hearing this, the old man smiled, raised his whip and swung it at the buffalo beside him, making it move a little faster. He said with a smile: "It's not easy to do small things when we are away from home. Let's help each other."
Zheng Ze nodded, affirming what the old man said.
This was a traveling trader team he met on the way. Zheng Ze got a preliminary understanding of them by talking to them.
His name is Li Da, and he has been in this business for several years.
The industry of hongshang exists everywhere. It is nothing more than buying goods from one place at a very low price and transporting them to another place with high demand to sell them at a high price.
If you want to make more money, it depends on the market conditions, and more importantly, the path of exercise.
Encountering a route where bandits are rampant is like gambling for merchants like them. Either they make a quick buck, or they not only take their capital into it, but also lose their lives.
But generally speaking, except for those big merchants who have some official connections, there are very few small merchants who do long-distance business.
Most of the time, it was the old man who was talking, listening, and trying to learn more information through dialogue.
For example, South Korea's business is very developed. After all, it is located in the center of the seven countries, and there are many traders from all over the world.
In Korea, all other unique and rare items are also highly sought after, and some people can earn enough money for a lifetime just by doing this.
At that time, Zheng Ze watched Old Man Li say this with an envious tone. It was obvious that he had not encountered that kind of opportunity.
"Brother, how is your wife? The road ahead is not easy. There may be some bumps. Is that okay?" The old man glanced at the carriage beside Zheng Ze and said with some worry.
Zheng Ze smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, her body is not that delicate. When we go to Zhuangzi to rest, I will make some medicine for her."
After Yan Lingji passed out, he went to see a doctor. The doctor said that she was mentally disturbed and nothing serious, so he prescribed some soothing medicine for him.
Zheng Ze was still a little worried, so he found another doctor, and after coming to the same conclusion, he took the medicine according to the prescription.
He met a caravan on the way, and considering that it was not safe for someone to take Yan Lingji on the road alone, and that he needed to know some information, he bought a carriage and went with them.
"Old man, I heard you say before that some mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are also bandits causing trouble. We shouldn't run into bad guys along the way, right?" Zheng Ze asked with a smile.
The old man shook his head and looked relaxed, "That's not the case. Don't worry, little brother. We are in front of Zhengcheng. We will reach the capital in just two steps. How can any blind person dare to look for trouble on this fast land?"
Zheng Ze thought about it. Although the world is very chaotic, it is not that chaotic.
"It's hard to ask before. Are you going to join relatives?" the old man asked casually.
Zheng Ze glanced at him and said calmly: "Yes, my brother has found an official position in Xinzheng. I just got married, so my brother sent a message to find something to do."
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes, and his smile became more kind, "This relationship is great. If you want to buy anything else in the future, just come to me and I will definitely give you the fairest price!"
Zheng Ze nodded, "Thank you very much, old man."
…
Just like what the old man said, after all, there is still basic order near the royal city.
There were no dangers along the way, and we arrived in Xinzheng safely. When we met Zhuangzi to rest on the way, Zheng Ze would boil some medicine and give it to Yan Lingji. After two days, although she was still in a coma, her complexion was obviously much better.
When he met the city guard, he had the caravan to deal with it, which saved him a lot of trouble. Seeing that they seemed to be familiar with each other, and they didn't check Yan Lingji in the carriage much, Zheng Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the city, he gave old man Li some money as a thank you gift, and then parted ways with the caravan.
He immediately found a post house and took Yan Lingji to rest here temporarily.
At this time, the importance of Yan Lingji to him was highlighted.
Along the way, he guarded the unconscious beautiful woman without any tyrannical force. He was always worried that an accident would happen, such as someone jumping out and shouting that I was driving this way, or meeting a bad guy and seeing that he had money on him, and he was worried.
Malice, what's more, people can see Yan Lingji getting angry...
If Yan Lingji is sober, he only needs to deal with his relationship with her; but now, he feels very insecure about those unknown dangers.
Is your mental strength very strong? You can't kill him with just one knife.
For now, he plans to stay here temporarily and watch Yan Lingji wake up.
With this in mind, the boy from the post house came over to remind him that the medicine was ready. Zheng Ze hid the bag of money and went downstairs to get the medicine.
The spoon was made of porcelain tiles, and he didn't expect to use any good utensils. He stirred the potion in the bowl evenly, and the smell of Chinese medicine came to his nostrils.
He sat in front of the bed and looked at Yan Lingji with her eyes closed. There was a big difference between when this woman was awake and when she was in a coma.
When she is awake, her every frown and smile can evoke associations and make people want to stop, but now in a coma, she has a quiet beauty that makes people feel pity for her.
He put the spoon to his lips and felt the approximate temperature. If it wasn't too hot, he put the bowl on the bedside table, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and put it under her neck, and slowly helped her up.
Even if she sat upright, the handkerchief would not fall due to the angle.
In this way, Zheng Ze supported her body with one hand from her back, and fed her medicine with a spoon with the other hand. He had to test the temperature himself every time.
Before this, he had to feed him three times a day, but now he is good at it.
After the bowl of medicine was down, Zheng Ze slowly lowered her body and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Hey, you still look so good when you're asleep, and you don't have to worry about what I'll do to you. Wake up early. I've never taken care of anyone so wholeheartedly in my last life. I'm starving to death..." Zheng Ze said to himself.
After all this work, Zheng Ze also felt that he was hungry. He had been frightened all the way and didn't eat well. Now that he had settled down for the time being, he might as well go down and get himself something to eat.
Now he just hopes that Yan Lingji can wake up soon, and during this period, he can try to understand the news from the outside world.
He tidied up everything around the bed, covered Yan Lingji with a quilt, then opened the door and went downstairs.
However, when the door was closed with a creak, a pair of smart and seductive eyes quietly opened.
Thank you, boss! Please support me and vote for me!
