Chapter 86: Used to Using a Scimitar

When Su Xueyi spoke to Shen Yueyao, there was a look of deep worry in her eyes.

Su Xueyi had never seen Shen Yueyao like this. With the moonlight shining through the window lattice, he could see that her face was pale and there was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

She was still gasping for breath.

Seeing Shen Yueyao like this, Su Xueyi's heart was gripped.

"Yao Niang?"

When talking to Shen Yueyao, Su Xueyi lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of startling Shen Yueyao.

With his other hand, he picked up a clean towel from the bedside and wiped the sweat from Shen Yueyao's forehead very gently.

Only then did Shen Yueyao gradually come back to her senses.

She turned to look at Su Xueyi, her eyes still slightly red.

"What's wrong? It's okay, I'm here!"

At this moment, Su Xueyi's words slowly calmed Shen Yueyao's mood.

She grabbed Su Xueyi's hand and said, "Husband, I dreamed of my elder brother."

Su Xueyi paused, "Why would I dream about my big brother out of nowhere? Or what happened to my big brother?"

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's expression and felt that something was not right.

Shen Yueyao's voice was still a little hoarse as she said, "Brother, he, he joined the vanguard team. I don't quite understand, but the people in his camp said he was a suicide squad that went to burn the enemy's food supplies. But he didn't have time to come back. After being discovered, he was surrounded and killed. Brother fell to the ground covered in blood."

Even though she had never met Su Xueyi's elder brother, the atmosphere of fighting on the battlefield was depressing.

Her heart felt heavy and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She always felt that Su Xueyi's elder brother should not have been killed in that way.

He was obviously very strong and had kung fu skills, but with so many people surrounding him, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't break through the encirclement.

After hearing this, Su Xueyi's face turned pale instantly.

The color drained from his face in an instant.

"Brother, no, it's just a dream."

Shen Yueyao said: "But the military camp where Big Brother is is so clear, and what they say is so clear, even the scene of fighting is more real, I can almost smell the smell of blood."

Shen Yueyao didn't believe it either, but it was too real for her to believe.

Su Xueyi clenched her hands tightly, her eyelashes trembling, and her eyes seemed to be filled with thick ink that could not be dissolved, hiding a lot of emotions.

He now remembered that his wife herself was peculiar, and the dream of his eldest brother being killed might be a reminder. He whispered, "If it is true, I don't know when it will happen. I must find a way to save my eldest brother."

In fact, Shen Yueyao herself was a little bit unconvinced, but she didn't expect Su Xueyi to be willing to believe her.

"Oh, by the way, there's a scar on the left side of Big Brother's face, from here to here. He used to use a machete..."

As she spoke, Shen Yueyao pointed with her finger.

Su Xueyi's whole body was shocked. Shen Yueyao had never seen his elder brother, so she had no idea that he had a scar on his face. She could even describe some details, and these were all true.

"It's true, big brother is indeed like that."

Shen Yueyao was silent now, "What should we do? We must find a way to save big brother."

"Even if we go to the military camp now, we don't know if it will be too late."

At this moment, Su Xueyi felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart.

Shen Yueyao carefully recalled those scenes, her expression moved as she said, "It's only the beginning of March now. I remember they mentioned the time when they were talking. It should be the end of March, so it's definitely in time."

After hearing this, Su Xueyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed still in time and there was a way to save her elder brother.

"I'll find a way."

Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi and always felt that what she said put pressure on him.

"I will also find a way. It's not too late now. We will definitely save big brother."

"Let me think about it."

Shen Yueyao calmed down and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I'll go to the market tomorrow morning to set up my stall, and I'll operate on your leg in the afternoon. After the operation is successful, you just need to rest well. Your leg will be healed in about a month."

This is a conservative estimate of the time. If she used the spiritual spring water, Su Xueyi would recover faster.

Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Okay."

"Also, didn't you write a letter to Big Brother? I'll try to deliver it to him personally and see how he's doing in the barracks. If I can find a way to bring him back, I'll do it."

Su Xueyi knew that this method would be safer, so she went to see her elder brother to understand the situation.

He couldn't go to the military camp in this condition, so Su Xueyi had to go on his behalf.

"I'm worried about you going alone."

Shen Yueyao was stunned. This was the first time Su Xueyi said such words. Was this a sign of concern for her?

"It's okay, I can ask Fourth Brother to come with me."

Fourth brother is big and has learned martial arts. He has been good at fighting since he was a child. Besides, Shen Yueyao is thinner now, so she can handle a few people without any problem.

"How many days will it take us to get to the military camp from here?"

"If we take a bullock cart, it would take three days if we were to go quickly. So, the round trip would take about six days."

Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi were talking like this.

She felt that there was still enough time, but she only had two taels of silver, which was not enough.

The first time I went to the market in Beimai Village, I bought a bucket of chili meat sauce and a bucket of braised food, which weighed more than three taels.

I went there twice before and spent about three taels of silver each time.

This time, she made two buckets of meat sauce, one spicy and one non-spicy, and two buckets of braised food.

I should be able to earn five taels of silver.

In this case, if you have seven taels of silver, you can rent an ox cart, which should be enough for a round trip.

Thinking about things, the two chatted for a while and fell asleep very late.

The next morning, Shen Yueyao got up early before dawn, packed her things and put them on the stall cart.

Su Erya also arrived early. After the two of them had a simple meal, they went to Beimai Village to attend the market.

It was still dark when the two of them went there, and many stalls in Beimai Village were occupied. However, someone had helped to occupy their previous stall, so their stall remained in the original location.

They have come several times, and each time they are at this location. Some old customers like to buy their things, so they just need to find them at this location every time they come.

The couple selling cakes at the stall next to them would greet Shen Yueyao and Su Erya warmly when they saw them.

“Sister Shen, Erya, you are here.”

Su Erya said, "Aunt, thank you for saving a seat for me and Third Aunt."

The young couple arrived early, so they were able to get a good seat early.

The young woman smiled and said, "If we really want to say thank you, we should thank you. You set up a stall next to us, and our cakes sell out quickly."

“In the past, not many people bought our cakes. Even though we made them carefully and they were delicious, people didn’t know they were good unless they tried them.”

"During the first two markets, people lined up to buy their goods. When they saw our cakes, they would ask about them. When they bought a lot, some old customers would come back to buy, so business was good."

Although it was early March, it was still a little cold in the morning. The little woman might have come very early, her face was red from the cold, but she had a smile on her face.

It is a smile of contentment.

Shen Yueyao sighed in her heart. Everyone who came out to do business actually had to get up early and go to bed late, and it was not easy.

"Sister Liu, the cakes you made smell delicious to me. Did you make them early in the morning?"
