Chapter 133 She regretted that she shouldn’t have boasted just now!
"Song Jiuyuan is so lucky."
The Sixth Prince sneered, "But he will soon not be so lucky."
There were some ambiguous emotions in his eyes when he looked at Fuling. If Song Jiuyuan could marry a doctor, then he could also marry a miracle doctor.
Perhaps because the Sixth Prince’s expression was too direct, Fuling frowned, “Your Highness, Fuling took a medicine bag from the mother and son.
I want to research what medicine Madam Song used."
At first, Fuling had a slight liking for the Sixth Prince, but after a few days of getting along with him, she realized that the Sixth Prince was not a good person.
So Fuling wanted to keep some distance from the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince did not notice anything was wrong, he smiled gently and said, "Well, then you go ahead and get busy.
If you need anything, you can come to me. I will ask my shadow guard to find what you need."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Fuling left obediently, and the Sixth Prince waved his hand. A shadow guard appeared with a vicious smile on his face.
"I remember there is a cold river ahead, right?"
"Yes, your highness."
The shadow guard thought for a few seconds and nodded very seriously. The Sixth Prince suddenly smiled.
"Go inform the nearby county magistrates that the exiled people can't leave too easily."
"yes!"
…
The next morning, Hua Xiao came over to apologize pitifully.
"I'm sorry, Madam Song. I didn't think about what happened last night. I actually..."
Hua Xiao looked embarrassed to speak, "I just wanted to see if you have any other antidote pills."
She didn't want Song Jiuyuan to be wary of her, so she had to find another excuse.
Unfortunately, she didn't know Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan's personalities, and now she was on their blacklist.
Jiang Wan shrugged indifferently and said casually: "You know exactly what the purpose is."
Hua Xiao looked embarrassed and wanted to say something else, but Jiang Wan ignored her. That was how it was for the Song family, so she was ignored.
For breakfast, they had steamed meat patties and buns. Jiang Wan also cooked a few bowls of wontons. Song Jiuli got up early today, and it was Madam Song who taught her how to make wontons.
The family ate with relish. Now even the officials and Wen Ruyu did not live as well as they did.
After passing Yaowang Valley, a Lengshui River lay before Jiang Wan and the others.
The surface of the river was sparkling, like a long noodle. The other side of the river was about forty or fifty meters away from Jiang Wan and the others.
In fact, it is not far, but it is a bit far for these old, weak and disabled people.
Ren Bang frowned and was about to go to the village ahead to take a look when he saw two people rowing towards him.
When they reached the shore, they got off the boat. Ren Bang's eyes lit up and he stepped forward and said:
"Excuse me, are you villagers from nearby?"
"Yes, I am the head of Shangxi Village."
Chen Lizheng was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a thick cotton coat and his eyes were on everyone.
Then it passed through Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and others very accurately.
Jiang Wan's intuition told her that this person might know them, or perhaps knew about them.
“How do people in your village cross the river?”
Ren Bang asked knowingly, of course he was planning to take his boat. Chen Lizheng seemed not to understand, and introduced with a smile:
"There are not many people in the village who have boats. My family is special. As for other people, they have to climb ropes to cross the river."
After he said that, he pointed to a rope hanging on both sides of the mountain not far away. If anyone wanted to cross the river, they would slide over on the rope.
This is shocking no matter how you look at it, but Ren Bang and his companions are not afraid. The key is that these old, weak and sick people can't climb over and have to go into the water.
Ren Bang glanced at the river again. The water seemed to be quite deep and even those who couldn't swim couldn't cross.
In addition, the weather is cold, and if you can't make it, you might be washed away by the river.
He asked Chen Lizheng with a headache, "If we walk along this river, when will we reach the end?"
"It's going to be a long way, if not a hundred and eighty miles."
Chen Lizheng laughed, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question. His words made everyone hesitate.
"This..., I can't swim."
"It's so high, I can't get through it. What should I do?"
"Mom, it's so high. I'm scared."
“…”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were already very weak, and no matter which method they used, they were afraid they would not be able to cross the river.
Even Chen Ce was in a difficult situation. His wife was pregnant, and there was also Wen Hao. Even if he climbed the rope, he couldn't carry two people at a time.
Ren Bang didn't feel sorry for these people, he was just in a hurry to get on with his journey, so he discussed it with Chen Lizheng.
"Li Zheng, you see there are so many old, weak and sick people here. Can we borrow your boat?"
"That won't do."
Chen Lizheng quickly shook his head. The county magistrate had specifically told him not to help, and he did not dare to disobey the county magistrate's order.
"My boat is small, there is no way it can carry so many of you."
Everyone looked towards Chen Lizheng's boat. It was indeed very small and could only accommodate about ten people at a time.
This back and forth process would consume a lot of manpower and resources.
Ren Bang was in a dilemma for a moment. Xiao Deng beside him whispered, "Boss, this is not easy to handle."
"I know."
Ren Bang frowned. Although it was common for people to die during exile, it would be difficult for him to explain if there were a large number of deaths.
"I see that the villagers of Shangxi Village can pass through, so there's no reason why we can't."
Hua Xiao suddenly got off the carriage. She was a modern person, so this little thing was not a problem for her.
And she had to do something to change Song Jiuyuan and the Sixth Prince's impression of her.
"Miss Hua is so confident, how about you give us a demonstration first?"
Jiang Wan suddenly spoke out. In fact, she could go through, but Song Jiuli and Madam Song could not go through.
Hearing this, Hua Xiao was choked by Jiang Wan, "I'm not from your team."
She subconsciously wanted to find an excuse, but Jiang Wan immediately blocked her mouth.
"I thought Miss Hua could get over there by herself, so you said that. You made it sound so easy."
"Yeah, if you have the guts, go first."
Song Jiuli echoed Jiang Wan's words, which made Hua Xiao very angry, and Ren Bang came to make trouble at this time.
"If Miss Flower wants to give us a demonstration, we'll all be grateful to you."
Hearing this, everyone looked over expectantly. Facing everyone's complicated looks, she said with all her might:
"Okay, let's just let it go. If I can get through it, it means it's not a difficult thing."
Seeing everyone looking at her like this, Hua Xiao inexplicably felt a surge of pride in her heart that made everyone admire her.
Wen Ruyu: ...
He gently tugged at Hua Xiao's sleeve and said, "Miss Hua, don't mess around. You have to do things within your ability."
"Master Wen, you have to believe me."
Hua Xiao was mysteriously confident. He stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the rope not far away.
Chen Lizheng reminded quietly: "Miss Hua, this is a rope made of bamboo strips, you should be careful."
These words almost made Hua Xiao's legs go weak. When she climbed up and touched the rope, she looked at the surging river water below and her face turned pale.
She regretted that she shouldn't have boasted just now.
But...she had seen in modern TV dramas that some children in remote areas could slide on tightropes.
It shouldn't be a difficult task, right?
