Wife Kim An

Chapter 64

The village the young man took them to was called Yangjia Village. It was on the border between Yizhou and Nianchuan.

Then, he changed his pace, turned to a nearby cave, and shouted a few times: "The refugees are gone."

Because of the arrival of the refugees, all the villagers were driven out of the village by the refugees, and they could only live in caves in the nearby mountains, without food and hungry.

Most of the villagers were wounded by the refugees who occupied Nestlé, and the wounds were hastily bandaged. There had been several heavy rains in the past few days, and they would definitely fester. Moreover, they lived in such a dirty place as the cave, and they were easily infected with germs, which made their illnesses worse.

Seeing that they moved back to the village without any sense of crisis, Song Xiao stopped them without saying a word.

"Have you been feeling a dull pain in your right wrist recently?"

The villager whose name was called was stunned, and said: "Yes. I was injured here, but the strange thing is that it hasn't recovered after so many days."

"Raise your hand."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Song Xiao frowned, raised his right hand, and his expression changed.

She pointed to the bruised and festered mark on his scar, and said seriously, "Is it a pain like a needle prick?"

"Yes……"

"Did it rain a few days ago?"

"It's...it's a wound washed with rainwater..."

"How can we use rainwater! The rainwater is so dirty!" Most of the rainwater contains chemical substances and microorganisms dissolved in it. Recently, there has been acid rain in several states, and the rainwater is polluted by acidic gas. This is very bad for the wounds that are scarring. May become infected and inflamed.

"But...there was no other water..."

"The wound is infected...let me help you re-bandage it."

"But..." the villagers hesitated, "I don't have any money..." Could it be a liar.

"It's free." Song Xiao sighed, forcibly removed the bandage, cleaned part of the festered skin, applied ointment on the wound, and bandaged it again.

"Before the wound heals, try not to let it touch the water again. If it is infected again, it will fester and fester, and then it will cause skin necrosis. At that time, it will be bad. Maybe this arm will be useless."

When Song Xiao said this, the injured villagers turned pale with fright, and quickly thanked Song Xiao, not apologizing for their doubts just now.

"Now, whoever's wound is still aching, come to me."

She just couldn't bear to watch these people die in front of her eyes.

As soon as Song Xiao turned her head, she saw Shen Junyi looking at her strangely. She touched her face and asked strangely, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Shen Junyi turned his eyes awkwardly, and said indifferently, "Have you studied medicine before? I wanted to ask you when I treated the old lady last time."

Song Xiao laughed: "It's just a little superficial learning."

Song Xiao stayed there for a whole day. Too many people in the village were injured by refugees. It was not until the early morning of the second day that all the injured villagers were bandaged up with good medicine.

Early the next morning, Song Xiao stretched his waist and walked out of the room. The villagers with visible ribs in the village were holding hot rice grains in their hands, and they seemed reluctant to eat them, and they felt sore in their hearts.

The price of grain has been raised. I heard from people in the village that whether it is Yizhou, Nianchuan or Sucheng, they all mentioned ten taels of silver per catty. Ten taels of silver may be a lot to their farmers who make a living from farming. Monthly salary, or maybe a year's salary.This is actually a good opportunity for them.

However, this is not true for ordinary people. The reason for the increase in refugees is probably the rise in food prices and the destruction of houses due to floods.

However, although the flood of the Luoshui River did not affect their village due to the terrain, the torrential rain a few months ago caused the grain in the field to rot due to the long-term soaking in the heavy rain. Originally, August and September were the autumn harvest season, but now the harvest is not enough for the next year one-twentieth.

Can only rely on the remaining inventory from last year, but only for self-sufficiency.

Later, they also made up for it. After the rainstorm passed, they re-cultivated the fields, harvested some short-term ripe vegetables, and transported these foods to Yizhou and other cities for sale. Although they were not as expensive as rice grains, they also got a small amount of money.

However, not long ago, refugees swept in and completely occupied their homes and robbed them of food.

Song Xiao is a businessman.Now that the price of grain has risen, for her, who transported ten carts of rice grain from Phoenix City, she can definitely make a steady profit.

It's just that the food price is too high. Will the false food price bubble cause harm to the market?There must be a human factor in this as well.

"When did the flood occur in Yizhou?" Song Xiao found a place to sit down and asked.

"Early May this year."

"May……"

"At that time, it was raining heavily every day. I heard that someone suggested to the county magistrate that there might be floods. The embankment was very loose due to its age and was easily broken by the flood. It should be quickly sent to rebuild the embankment with a lot of money. However, his suggestion was not accepted by anyone. The county magistrate thought it was an unnecessary waste of money, and was even severely punished for spreading rumors. However, not long after, the river really flooded and officially broke the embankment. At the end of May, the county magistrate began to repair the embankment."

"What about that person?"

"It's disappeared since I hit the board..."

"In fact, it's not a year or two since Yizhou flooded. It was the one five years ago. It almost flooded the whole of Yizhou, and many people died. At that time, the county magistrate was escorted back by the imperial envoy. I left Phoenix City and waited for the empress to deal with it." The other villagers began to chatter.

"Yes, yes, there was a plague in Lingjia Village at the foot of the mountain. Later, the imperial envoy took them all away for treatment."

"However, the strange thing is that I haven't seen anyone from Lingjia Village anymore..."

"Yes, yes, I don't know how they are doing now."

Song Xiao turned his face away sadly.Those who got the plague probably won't come back...

After half an hour, Song Xiao inquired about a lot of things in Yizhou, and even got a clear picture of the magistrate's relevant information.Because the magistrate of Yizhou was disposed of, the magistrate of Nianchuan served as the magistrate of Yizhou for many years, and the surname of the imperial envoy was Yan. I don't know what relationship it has with the Yan family in Phoenix.

It is the Lin family that controls the prices of rice, grain, and vegetables in this area. The Lin family has also approached people in this village, meaning that they are willing to buy their vegetables and hope that they will supply them all. up.

Curious about the flooded Luoshui River in the mouth of the villagers, Song Xiao climbed to the top of the mountain under the guidance of the villagers.

Song Xiao stood at the highest point, his clothes fluttering and dancing with the wind.She looked down and looked at the Luoshui River beside Yizhou. Now the Luoshui River is calm, with dams and sandbags built on the bank, and everything is calm.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Junyi looked at her and said suddenly.

Song Xiaodao: "Before going out, Ruyan once told me that the flood a few months ago was due to a heavy rain that never happened in a century. The Luoshui River in her home and restaurant was only a hundred miles away, so it was quickly flooded. Because She had no relatives, so she escaped with her younger brother. Now, when I look up to Yizhou, it seems that it has regained its former tranquility, revealing peace everywhere."

She sighed and shook her head as she spoke: "But the strange thing is, since Yizhou has revived under the leadership of the magistrate, repaired dams, and rebuilt their homes, why there are so many refugees. What's going on with all this..."

Shen Junyi followed her gaze, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

When Song Xiao and the others left, they were surrounded by villagers from Yangjia Village, who kept thanking them, calling Song Xiao a female Bodhisattva and a lifesaver.

Song Xiao felt embarrassed when he was praised so much.She didn't actually do anything, but the villagers have a simple personality, and a little kindness is remembered in her heart.

Moreover, in fact, she has her own purpose, the same purpose as the Lin family.Knowing that most of her would be rejected, she had the audacity to ask.

Because the refugees have left, and the vegetables in the fields have come to be harvested recently.

"Can you sell me the rest of the vegetables?" Song Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm not a doctor, but a businessman. In a few days, I will run around Sucheng, Yizhou and Nianchuan."

Everyone suddenly quieted down, looking at Song Xiao eagerly, Song Xiao felt even more embarrassed to say: "Actually, as long as I can earn a difference... After all, you still need to pay for the trip...Actually... I can ..."

"Miss Song, do you want this? Or do you want that?"

"Miss Song just ask what you want!"

"Miss Song, even if other people don't agree, I will definitely sell it at a low price. Who told Miss Song to cure my husband?"

"Who said that other people don't agree, I will give it for free, but Miss Song cured your husband for free, and you are ashamed to accept her money... Miss Song gave me my life."

"Huh? Song Xiao was stunned, and said in a daze, "You agree like this? ! "She was still thinking of a thousand ways to persuade them.

Because the village needs a lot of travel expenses to go to various cities, and Song Xiaoti's opinions are very reasonable. He doesn't charge for the treatment of the villagers, and he also talked about how to grow vegetables more effectively.

The villagers readily agreed, and took out their own stocks one after another. Although Song Xiao modestly said that she only needed to make a difference, the price the villagers raised was almost for nothing, which made her feel too embarrassed.

When Song Xiao came, he brought a carriage and gave the villagers a few bags of rice. Now the carriage was filled with vegetables by the diligent villagers, and it almost couldn't fit. Song Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.

The young man was pushed to the front, and he said with a blushing face, "Thank you Miss Song, it was Xiao Liu who made a mistake before, and shouldn't have tried to sneak attack Miss Song. I beg Miss Song to punish me."

Smiling, Song Xiao squatted down halfway, flicked his forehead with his hand, and said with a smile, "That's it, it's even. Anyway, you didn't hurt me."

The boy's name is Yang Xiaoliu, the sixth in his family.However, five years ago, relatives went to visit relatives in Lingjia Village, but they never returned. Only the grandfather who was handicapped at the time was left behind, and escaped by luck.

Just now, she also checked the boy's grandfather's leg disease. His leg was pinched by a beast hunting tool, causing the bones to be shattered, but he just bandaged it hastily.As time passed, the bones regrown, forming staggered bones, unable to stand, and the feet were equivalent to useless.

Although the time dragged on for a long time, it was not without cure.Fortunately, before going out, Song Xiao asked Li Ke for a lot of medicine bottles, including all bruises.

She applied ointment to Grandpa Yang's wound, then took a wooden plank to fix his calf, and tied it up with a white cloth.

"After a month and a half, unpack the board and apply this bottle of medicine. After a few days of rest, I can stand up again."

The teenager's mother was a hunter, so he liked to play with slingshots since he was a child. The slingshot he carried with him was a treasure, and it was the only gift his mother gave him before she left.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Song Xiao's smiling face sank, secretly thinking about her future actions.As for the rice grain issue, there was going to be a fierce battle with the Lin family.

Just for the sake of making money, selling Chenmi to the Song family, monopolizing the market, and deliberately raising the market price is really too black-hearted!

Song Xiao turned his head to the side, wanting to ask Shen Junyi's opinion, but found that his lips were pursed, and his expression was very ugly.

Song Xiao suddenly thought that Shen Junyi had been silent for a long time, although he was very silent before, but now he gave her a very gloomy feeling, as if he was suppressing something, which made Song Xiao very uncomfortable.

Shen Junyi... It seems that he has been acting strange since he stepped into the Yang Family Village.

"Huh?" Seeing Song Xiao looking at him with burning eyes, Shen Junyi suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing... Let's go to Sucheng. It's a day late. I don't know what Su Ye is worried about." Song Xiao sighed, "Shen Junyi, can you tell me what you were thinking just now?"

The guards were already waiting at the carriage, and the two of them were pulled behind because they were saying goodbye to the villagers.

It's just the two of them now.

Shen Junyi tilted his head, moved closer to Song Xiao, suddenly grabbed her fingers with his hand, and gently pulled her in front of him.

"For you." He took out a hand-embroidered money pouch from his pocket, blushing slightly and turned his head away, "I heard from Su Ye that your money pouch was broken a few days ago, so if you don't dislike it, you can buy it." Use this."

"Jun Yi, did you embroider this?

Shen Junyi nodded, nana said: "This is my first embroidery, I hope you like it."

Song Xiao happily took it.Although Su Ye told him that Shen Junyi would give her a surprise, he did not expect him to do embroidery.And in a short time, she made a beautiful little purse for her.

If Song Xiao knew that Su Ye deliberately tore up her money bag, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She turned her little blue purse over, looked at the two ducks playing in the water close to each other, and praised it without hesitation.

"The duck you embroidered is so beautiful! I like it very much."

However, when she raised her head, she saw Shen Junyi ignoring herself and jumping into the carriage, leaving her just blowing in the wind.

Huh?What did she say wrong?Why does it feel like Shen Junyi is angry...

Isn't it a duck?But... the more you look at it, the more it looks like...

Ahhh, never mind, this is the first gift Shen Junyi gave her.Take good care of it... Hey... What if you don't want to use it... The silver is so dirty...

Song Xiao carefully hid it in his arms.

Hmm... What kind of gift should she give in return...

Shen Junyi got into the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.He... successfully diverted Song Xiao's attention, but...

He looked out the window, seeing Song Xiao's cautious movements and the occasional murmur from her lips, a smile unconsciously spread on Shen Junyi's face.

However, not long after, his eyebrows suddenly ached.He rubbed the area between his brows with his hands and sighed.

It's getting closer and closer to Yizhou... Mother, will you guard the baby?
