Chapter 38 You...take care of yourself too!

"That bastard Ding Cheng wiped out Xier's family. I grew up with Xier, so of course I want revenge for her! What's more, he pushed Xier into a desperate situation."

"Miss, do you know where Xier is now?"

It turned out... that he was a childhood friend of Mei Xi. He worked for Ding Cheng and knew that Ding Cheng killed Mei Jia in order to avenge her, so he attacked him with the idea of ​​dying together.

Ruan Mian admired his courage and took out two silver ingots from his purse.

"Go hang Ding Cheng's body on the city wall for public display, expose his crimes, and let the people he harmed see clearly."

"Find some reliable heroes to take the relief food that Ding Cheng withheld from this cellar and distribute it to the people in the city. These supplies can only last for a few days. If the weather continues like this, Kyoto will send disaster relief food."

Ruan Mian pointed in the direction of the cellar. When she was searching for supplies just now, she had moved enough food, as well as some mattresses and other supplies from the space and placed them in the cellar.

"Once you have finished these things, you can come to find me at the post station outside the city. If you are lucky, you may be able to meet Miss Mei."

After saying this, she stood up, and the man kowtowed quickly: "I wonder what your name is, young lady?"

But unfortunately, Ruan Mian had already left quickly.

She chose to walk to quiet places with few people, and soon left through a side door.

Little did they know that at this moment the Ding family mansion was in complete chaos, alarming the entire city's citizens.

Along the way, Ruan Mian saw more and more people rushing towards the mansion, as if they were going to watch the excitement.

And more and more shops are opening on the street.

Let's take this opportunity to replenish some supplies.

But there are not many things to buy now. Basically, all the food and daily necessities are gone. There are only some miscellaneous tools, such as needles and thread. She even specially found a bronze workshop.

The shopkeeper was about to go to the front to watch the excitement, but was stopped by Ruan Mian.

"Boss, it's better to make money than to watch the fun."

The shopkeeper disagreed: "It doesn't matter whether I make a profit from this little bit of money or not. What matters most is that I go and see what that bastard Ding Cheng looks like when he's skinned alive!"

He smiled and declined the offer until Ruan Mian stuffed a piece of gold into his hand.

His eyes lit up. What's the point of watching this fun?

How can excitement be more important than gold?

He quickly invited the wealthy Ruan Mian into the shop and even took out the most precious bronze ware.

"I don't know what the girl wants to buy, just pick whatever you want!!"

But Ruan Mian was not interested in these finely crafted copperware. Instead, he was attracted by the pots, plates, basins, and especially the small copper stoves made by the shopkeeper when he had nothing to do.

It's just a little gadget used to keep warm in winter.

"Give me as many of these as you can get."

These are all made from leftover materials, and they don’t sell well, so a lot of them are piled up in the warehouse!

Unexpectedly, this noble lady took a fancy to his inventory, and the shopkeeper immediately moved all the inventory to her.

There were four large wooden boxes, and there were probably thousands of small copper stoves inside.

He also gave Ruan Mian a fair price.

Then she picked out some of the most exquisite bronzes in the shop, and with the extra money she set her sights on the shopkeeper's carriage.

The two hit it off immediately and he gave her everything, including the car and the goods.

She put all the extra goods into the space, took out only a part of them and put them on the carriage, and rushed to the post station.

When passing the city gate, I found that the front was already packed with people.

Even in such cold weather, people from all over the city came out to watch the fun.

The body of the evil man Ding Cheng was hung on the city wall, and the people under the city gate who had been harmed by him breathed a sigh of relief!

They picked up stones, snowballs and branches from the ground and threw them at his body.

Every time I smash it, I vent the anger that has been accumulating in my heart for a long time!

Some even threw feces at him.

Ruan Mian stared ahead and was about to lower the curtain when a woman suddenly rushed out from the side.

"Miss Ruan!"

Ruan Mian looked closely and found that it was Mei Xi.

She climbed onto her carriage with a large backpack on her back and red eyes.

Ruan Mian invited her in, and she quickly handed all the things in the backpack to her.

"Miss Ruan, I promised to give you the ointment, some rice and flour from my home, and some thick clothes for me."

"You still have a long way to go north, and the journey will be difficult, so it's always good to have a little extra stuff with you. I can only blame my limited abilities and your kindness. I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you this much."

Is this not enough? I'm afraid she's moved most of her wealth here!

There were even several boxes of ointment, as well as some cured fish, cured meat, and pickles.

This big backpack is stuffed full!

Ruan Mian patted her shoulder and asked, "Have all your family members been settled?"

Mei Xi pursed her lips and nodded: "Everything has been arranged. Now seeing Ding Cheng's character, I have no regrets in dying."

"What nonsense! You still have a long future ahead of you. Just because a wicked person is punished doesn't mean your life is over."

"Oh, right. I met a man who was a guard beside Ding Cheng. In fact, it was he who was responsible for Ding Cheng's murder. I saw it with my own eyes. He said he grew up with you."

"Is it Haoyu?! How is he now?"

Seeing the worried look in Mei Xi's eyes, Ruan Mian had a hunch that the relationship between the two might not be that simple.

"Do you like him?"

Perhaps because she asked too bluntly, Xixi quickly lowered her head: "I'm just very worried about him."

Seeing this, Ruan Mian simply turned the carriage around and said, "Since you are worried about him, why don't I take you to see him?"

He should be transporting food in the cellar at the moment, so she might as well go over and see if anyone needs her help.

With his courage, there shouldn't be many problems.

She could see that Meixi was nervous, but also excited.

It's like meeting someone you like.

It would be nice to see a beautiful relationship.

However, Ruan Mian seemed to be wrong.

When they arrived there, the man was indeed there.

Even with his wounded body, he still diligently worked with those volunteers to transport and distribute the relief food.

"Haoyu!"

Mei Xi called out to him and hurried down from the carriage.

The man strode towards them in shock, but the two stopped at a step apart and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Thousands of words of concern were transformed into silent glances at this moment.

Until Bei Haoyu took out the sachet and handed it to her personally.

"Xi'er, I'm glad you're okay. Your uncle and aunt... their spirits in heaven can rest in peace now. You should live a good life from now on, and it's time for me to go."

Meixi held back her tears and was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

She tied the sachet around his waist with her own hands, ignoring his attempts to stop her, and spoke with a held breath. "I know you still have unresolved family grudges and unfulfilled ambitions. I don't want to be a hindrance or burden to you. Don't worry, I will live well, and you... take care of yourself too!"
