Chapter 11 Chamber Pot
The man in green was tall and frail. When he bent down to drink water, Shen Wan couldn't help but think of the Crescent Lake lost in the desert, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Shen Wan couldn’t help but stare blankly.
She asked curiously, "Who is that person?"
"His name is Wang Qi, a famous talent in the capital." Seeing that person's infatuated look, Xie Mubai said sourly, "This person has a very strange personality. Even if he helps you, you don't have to pay attention to him."
"If you insist on thanking him, it will only make him angry."
Are all the talented people in the world a little eccentric?
Shen Wan thought about it, then deliberately smiled and looked at Xie Mubai: “What about you, is there anything different about you?”
Seeing that this ugly woman dared to tease him, Xie Mubai turned his head away without even looking at her.
He was not a talkative person, but for some reason, ever since he started traveling with the ugly girl, he would waste a lot of words every time.
Seeing that the villain was silent again, Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel a little bored.
It’s a long journey and there’s not even anyone to chat with. How boring!
In comparison, Aunt Zhou and her companions were much happier. At least that group of women never lacked topics to talk about.
"Third daughter-in-law, please buy some water. I'm thirsty."
Finally they arrived at the resting place. Aunt Zhou, sweating profusely, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
When Sun heard that she had to spend money again, she felt very painful.
She didn't have much affection for her husband's so-called biological mother.
The reason I tried to please this old woman was simply because I saw that she was of some use in managing the household.
Inadvertently, she saw the bamboo tube hanging on Shen Wan's cart.
She clearly remembered that the ugly woman had used a bamboo tube to feed water to Xie Mubai.
"The officials don't have much water left. They need to keep some for themselves." Sun's eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "Fifth brother still has some water. How about drinking some first?"
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and sneered, "That ugly woman wants to completely break off all ties with us, and yet she's willing to give us water to drink?"
"If she doesn't give it to us, we can find a way to steal it!" Sun lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "And with the bamboo tube, we can use it to hold water, so that it will be more convenient and hygienic for Auntie to drink."
"I'm not saying anything, but the officials' bowls are really dirty. Anyone can drink from them as long as they pay. Who knows if those people have other problems?"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou's heart moved slightly: "Then this matter depends on you."
"When we get to Linjiazhuang, I will definitely double your compensation!"
If she was not the one from Linjiazhuang, why would Sun be so obedient to her?
"Don't worry!" She smiled evilly.
So, Sun quickened her pace and deliberately walked towards Shen Wan.
As Shen Wan was bending over to help Xie Mubai, Sun took the opportunity to take down the bamboo tube hanging on the cart and quickly walked towards Aunt Zhou.
As soon as she helped Xie Mubai up, Shen Wan discovered that the bamboo tube was missing.
When she looked up, she found it was in Sun's hand. She was so angry that her face turned pale: "Asshole, you actually stole the bamboo tube, put it down now!"
Sun turned around and looked at her provocatively: "Who can prove that this bamboo tube is yours? There are so many bamboos on both sides of the mountain. Are you the only one who can make it?"
Shen Wan wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Xie Mubai.
"Forget it." His eyes flickered and he lowered his voice and said, "Give it to her if she wants it."
Seeing his strange look, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
"Mom, I want to drink water too." Erbao lay on Qian's shoulder and whispered.
"Wait until Third Aunt comes over, then Erbao can drink." She patted the little guy in her arms and said gently.
As Sun walked forward, before Qian could speak, the small bamboo tube was snatched away by Aunt Zhou.
She unscrewed the lid and drank from it.
When Erbao saw it, he immediately burst into tears.
Although he is young, he is not stupid.
Once the delicious food and drinks reach Aunt Zhou, there is basically nothing left.
Just after taking a sip, he saw Aunt Zhou bend over and spit it all out.
"It's so unpalatable!" She frowned and looked at Sun unhappily, "I told you to go buy water from the official, but you refused and insisted on stealing from that ugly woman."
"That ugly woman's water must have come from some ditch. It's awful to drink!"
Seeing this, Shen Wan burst out laughing.
"Third sister-in-law, why are you grabbing a chamber pot?" She laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, deliberately raising her voice. "Is your taste so strong that this is the only thing you like?"
Aunt Zhou's face turned pale and she stammered, "You...what did you say? This is a chamber pot...what's in it..."
"Yeah, don't you think the taste is wrong?" Shen Wan bent over, almost laughing to death.
Someone really has bad intentions, and this trick is too mean!
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou bent down and vomited out bitter bile.
As she vomited, she pointed at Shen Wan’s nose and asked, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
"You didn't ask!" Shen Wan shrugged, looking innocent. "Besides, I asked my third sister-in-law to put the bamboo tube down, but she refused to listen and insisted that it was hers. You saw it with your own eyes."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou turned her anger towards Sun.
"What an idiot!" She cursed with a gloomy face.
Sun's face was filled with dissatisfaction. She whispered in defense, "How would I know it was filled with urine?"
Seeing how the Xie family got along with each other, the other prisoners couldn't help but look surprised.
A mere concubine actually dared to yell at her master. It turns out that this is the family tradition of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Why are you crying here in such hot weather?" The bearded man turned pale and raised the whip towards Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was startled.
She was afraid of pain, and even more afraid of losing face in front of everyone.
Just as the whip was about to fall, the bearded man rolled his eyes and his body, as strong as a bison, fell to the ground with a bang.
He was foaming at the mouth and his limbs were twitching violently as if he had been electrocuted.
Seeing this, the other officers rushed forward.
"What should I do? The boss is having a seizure again!"
"Go find a doctor!"
"There's no village in sight, no shop nearby, where can I find a doctor?"
"Yeah, it takes two hours to get to the nearest village and back. Can the boss hold on?"
The bearded man's condition was getting worse and worse, and his expression was becoming uglier and uglier. The officers were becoming increasingly anxious.
Seeing this, Shen Wan knew that the opportunity had come.
The journey from the capital to the Northwest is long and arduous, and even if one possesses enormous wealth, life along the way will not be easy without someone to protect him.
Moreover, she could see that the bearded man was not an unforgivable criminal, at most he was just greedy for money.
Shen Wan thought for a moment and then walked straight over.
Seeing a wooden stick on the side of the road, she picked it up and stuffed it into the bearded man's mouth.
"What are you doing?" Scarface's eyes turned cold and he shouted sternly.
He quickly bent down and tried to take out the stick.
Shen Wan said expressionlessly: “If you want him to bite his tongue off, just take it out!”
Upon hearing this, Scarface was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.
His small triangular eyes lit up and he asked impatiently, "Do you know medicine?"
Shen Wan nodded slightly: “A little.”
"You?" Sun sneered with disdain upon hearing this, "Chen Wan, I advise you to stay out of the spotlight. I know you want to find a backer, but you can't joke with the official's life!"
"Sir, you'd better go find a doctor. This ugly girl and I have known each other since we were little. She can't even read a single word, let alone any medical skills!"
Shen Wan smiled contemptuously, not hiding the mockery in her eyes at all: “If you know me, you should naturally know how good my medical skills are.”
"But you just stopped me from treating the official. I don't know what your intentions are. Could it be that you wish for something to happen to him?"
The officers were already upset, and now hearing them arguing so loudly, they became even angrier.
"Do you really know medical skills?" Scarface looked at her doubtfully.
Shen Wan sneered and said, “If the official doesn’t believe it, then forget it, you should go find a doctor.”
A doctor must be hired, but the question is, can the bearded man hold on?
Several officers looked at each other in confusion.
The bearded man had done them a favor, and they couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
