Chapter 51: Framed Again
The captured people lined up in a long queue and walked down the mountain in a mighty procession.
It's like a long dragon on this winding road.
Liu Ruiping took the lead, walking at the front of the team and leading them all the way down the mountain.
"Mom, that bad guy won't take you away again, right?" Huanhuan cried, blinking her big eyes, extremely scared.
She loves her mother the most!
What if my mother was captured?
Shen Jinan looked at them and met Suisui's expectant eyes.
The little kid said nothing but pricked up his ears, waiting for her answer.
"Mom is telling you secretly, that uncle is seriously ill, but she can't let anyone know, so she used some unique methods to invite Mom over. She's not going to capture him. Don't be afraid, Huanhuan. Mom will never leave you no matter what."
They finally calmed down along the way, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, when Liu Ruiping came to ask Shen Jinan for the prescription, Huanhuan was still scared and hid in her arms.
"Doctor Shen, I apologize for offending you before. Now that you are safe, why don't you just hand over the complete prescription to me? From now on, we will never have any more contact."
Liu Ruiping felt a little embarrassed.
In order to show his sincerity, he deliberately did not take the bandits down the mountain.
They even sent people to pass messages to the officials who were traveling with them so that they would have nothing to worry about.
It was not easy for him, a bandit, to consider these people to this extent.
Now I am waiting for Shen Jinan’s prescription.
"Since the boss is so sincere, I will naturally fulfill my promise."
Shen Jinan smiled and handed him a piece of paper with the complete recipe on it.
He took the note and put it away carefully, treating it like a treasure. "Goodbye, Doctor Shen. I won't see you off."
He left in a hurry, as he had to hurry to get the medicine while no one was around.
We can’t let anyone know this!
"They let us go so quickly. It turns out that someone sold their bodies in exchange for this!" Shen Xitang raised his voice and said this deliberately.
"Are you deaf or blind? Can't you hear what he's calling me?"
Shen Jinan glared at her and slapped her.
The pain made her sober. Shen Xitang was not someone who would suffer any loss, so she raised her hand and wanted to go back.
Shen Jinan snorted coldly and kicked her, causing her to lie on the ground, clutching her stomach and wailing continuously.
"You'd better not provoke me again!" Shen Jinan glanced at her coldly, as if he was looking at a clown.
Only then did Shen Xitang completely stop.
Shen Jinan walked directly towards Commander Lin with Gu Yanqing.
Seeing that the young lady was safe and sound, Commander Lin thanked all the gods and Buddhas in his heart: "I'm glad you're all okay!"
Commander Lin's eyes were filled with apology. "We tried to contact the local authorities and asked them to send troops to suppress the bandits, but to our surprise, the prefect only promised but didn't take any action."
I'm afraid it's collusion between officials and businessmen, causing harm to all sides!
"I've heard about the rampant banditry in the southeast, but I never expected to have the opportunity to witness it myself."
Gu Yanqing frowned, lost in thought, and said in a deep voice, "These disasters cannot be eradicated overnight."
After all, he is a man of integrity and dedicated to serving the people, and he cannot bear to see the people suffer.
"Yes, it has accumulated over the years, and the roots are so complex and deep-rooted that even a small change can affect the entire body. No one can stand still and watch their own interests being shaken."
Commander Lin sighed and shook his head. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to do it.
There are some things he can't interfere with.
After going through all these twists and turns, everyone was exhausted and Commander Lin felt extremely guilty.
Fortunately, he had discovered the town earlier and took them to the inn to rest.
"The government officials said that the post station has been in disrepair for a long time, so they asked us to stay in an inn temporarily." Commander Lin specially arranged a top-grade room for the two of them and also ordered a lot of delicious dishes to calm them down.
“Commander Lin is too polite.” The space is now full of cold food, and Shen Jinan’s first reaction when he saw the food was that his eyes lit up.
"Lin failed to protect you well. This glass of wine is an apology to Dr. Shen!" He was always polite to Shen Jinan.
In his heart, Shen Jinan was the most capable doctor on the road of exile.
My life is in her hands!
Finally leaving the forest where we had to be extremely vigilant, as soon as the door closed, we were overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of security. Everyone relaxed a little and soon felt sleepy.
Early the next morning, birds were chirping outside the window. It was a rare good day.
"Doctor Shen, in order to appease everyone, I'm making an exception and allowing everyone to shop freely these days. I came here specifically to inform Doctor Shen."
Commander Lin came knocking on the door early in the morning.
"Commander Lin arrived just in time. I was just about to discuss purchasing with you!" Shen Jinan smiled.
I took inventory yesterday and found that there are too many things that need to be stored in the space.
After seeing off Commander Lin, the family of four came to the market.
All kinds of hawking sounds filled my ears, and it felt like a different world.
"Mom, I want to eat big buns." Huanhuan's eyes were full of hope.
The steaming big buns were hard to resist, so Shen Jinan paid for them decisively.
"Mom! I want this too!"
Shen Jinan paid.
After purchasing a lot of things in a day, the two children jumped and danced with the dough figurines that Shen Jinan bought for them.
Seeing that they were really happy, Shen Jinan also smiled.
The two children have been frightened quite a bit during this period, and they can finally relax.
Children should be happy.
"This is for you." Gu Yanqing handed Shen Jinan a pearl hairpin with a calm expression.
This was what he picked out while carrying Shen Jinan on his back while shopping just now.
"I thought this looked good, so I bought it."
Shen Jinan was a little surprised. He looked at Gu Yanqing, but found that his ears were red. He said mischievously, "Oh? By the way?"
"Yeah." His ears turned even redder.
"Thank you, Master Gu, for your kindness." Shen Jinan bowed his head slightly. "Put it on for me."
Gu Yanqing felt his palms were full of sweat and his heart was not very calm.
I helped her put it on and adjust her position before I breathed a sigh of relief.
As if that was the most important thing in the world.
"Does it look good?" Shen Jinan raised her eyes with a smile on her face, and her eyes were sparkling like stars when she looked at him.
"Beautiful." Even Gu Yanqing, who had seen countless noble ladies, couldn't help but be fascinated by her.
A mother and daughter stood behind them, one of them looking at them with envy and resentment: "Bah, you have the nerve to spend the money you earned by selling your body."
Why did she have to struggle for a long time just to buy a big steaming bun, but Shen Jinan bought so many things without even looking at them!
Seeing Shen Jinan living so well, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
