Su Fangli thought for a moment and said, "Let's take it back first."
Zhao Heihu was held up by two guards, one on each side. The blood on his head spread. Seeing the swords on the guards' bodies, his pupils trembled in disbelief. "Are you from the Huan family army?"
Ye Zhihui suddenly turned his head, and the smile on his lips lost its warmth.
He walked up to Zhao Heihu and asked, "You do have some knowledge. How did you know that?"
There was no emotion in the voice. Zhao Heihu shuddered and lowered his head, pretending to be dead.
"Hmph." Ye Zhihui snorted coldly: "Take it back."
Seeing them about to leave, Luo Pu and the other two gathered their courage and approached Su Fangli: "Master, how about I take them back to the city clinic first?"
"Go ahead. I'll meet you at the clinic later." Su Fangli said. She turned and told the driver, "Take them back."
-
As dusk fell, the group returned to the camp.
It was dinner time, so the group gathered together to eat.
Su Fangli passed by and saw the watery soup in their bowls, which was obviously much worse than before.
The number of people in the camp had decreased a lot, and the dozen or so people who stayed behind all looked tired.
This is really a bit troublesome, Su Fangli thought to herself.
Ye Zhihui thought she disliked the food and explained, "The people here are all rough people, no one knows how to cook, so..."
Su Fangli nodded and took note of this.
"These people..." Ye Zhihui hesitated: "How do you want to deal with them?"
He was referring to the refugees Su Fangli had brought back with him. These refugees were of varying ages, all with pale faces and gaunt bodies, their eyes wide open, staring so hard that the soldiers eating nearby couldn't eat.
Even if others didn't say anything, Su Fangli knew it was inappropriate for her to bring back a group of people who only eat for free.
"I have other plans." Su Fangli hesitated for a moment and continued, "I'll go discuss it with He Chenghuan later."
“…”
Ye Zhihui's eyes darkened and he almost couldn't control the emotions on his face.
He lowered his eyes: "Okay. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Not far away, He Chenghuan heard the news and put down what he was doing to come over.
Before I got close, I saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing next to each other, their heads put together, talking about something.
His eyes were gloomy, and the voice in his body was also clamoring. He Chenghuan walked slowly closer.
The two of them were talking side by side, not noticing the slight movement nearby. It wasn't until a shadow fell on them that Su Fangli turned around and saw He Chenghuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Su Fangli's eyes lit up.
He walked over alone without anyone to support him. Could it be that his eyes have healed?
"Are you okay?" Su Fangli's tone was one of undisguised joy.
He Chenghuan's unspeakable dark anger was completely extinguished by these words.
His eyes were deeper than before. Su Fangli felt uneasy when she saw him. Before she could say anything, he had already looked away.
"Follow me." He said and turned away.
Su Fangli and Ye Zhihui exchanged a glance, and the other smiled gently: "Go ahead, I'll take care of these people."
-
Su Fangli followed He Chenghuan to his tent. Two oil lamps were lit in the tent, and the light flickered. Su Fangli inexplicably felt a little uneasy.
The two sat opposite each other for a long time, neither of them speaking.
"you……"
"I……"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
Su Fangli organized her words in her mind and asked directly, "Are you planning to establish a presence here?"
He Chenghuan was stunned when he heard Su Fangli continue, "I can help you."
"This is not a place that can kindly accept refugees." He Chenghuan said.
Su Fangli looked him in the eyes seriously and said, "If you want to stay here and develop, you won't be able to survive this winter without manpower."
"Do you know what I want to do?" He Chenghuan asked.
Su Fangli shrugged: "It's nothing more than a competition with foreign races or the capital."
He Chenghuan: "Aren't you afraid that what I'm doing will cost me my life?"
Su Fangli shook her head: "You won't."
He Chenghuan was speechless. "Won't what? Won't lose his head?"
"I calculated it." Su Fangli nodded. "Have you started digging that ironstone mine you've been dreaming of?"
"Not yet."
Su Fangli: "Here I have blacksmiths, weavers, doctors, and many farmers who can cultivate the land and women who can do the logistics."
"Are those the people you just brought back?" He Chenghuan said with a smile.
Otherwise, this charlatan must have understood the art of language, so that a group of skinny and pale refugees could express their ability to conquer the world.
He Chenghuan: "What do you want?"
Su Fangli paused and said, "Arrange a few martial arts masters to protect me."
"Is that all?" He Chenghuan was puzzled.
Su Fangli nodded and said, "Since I want to cooperate with you, the people here must obey my orders. I just saw a few abnormal people, and I will need you to take action to control them when the time comes."
The two of them roughly discussed the arrangements, and then Su Fangli said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, she turned back and whispered solemnly: "Thank you for coming to save me before, and for causing you to get hurt. I won't hurt you. If you don't believe in divination, you can still trust me."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for He Chenghuan's reaction, she lifted the curtain and walked out.
After Su Fangli finished his work, he did not waste any time and immediately went to find Ye Zhihui and the refugees.
She had seen the horoscopes of those refugees, all of whom were honest farmers who were displaced because of heavy taxes.
Together with Ye Zhihui, she relocated the refugees to suitable locations. Some of them gathered food for the winter and made pickles, while the rest repaired the camp's buildings and prepared firewood and winter clothing. The women and children were assigned to prepare winter clothing. This temporarily made up for the camp's lack of manpower.
Su Fangli: "Don't worry about the food. I'll find a way."
She would not touch the food hidden in the mountains, as it was left for Grandma Fang.
The next day, Su Fangli called the coachman Xu Ying, and the two of them entered the city together.
She first went to the clinic in Luopu, asked them for a piece of cloth, grabbed a fortune-telling chess piece, and went out to the street.
There are many people in this world who want to have their fortunes told, but the fortune tellers’ fees are too high and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.
Su Fangli brought Xu Ying with him. They did not accept money for divination, but only accepted gifts, no matter if it was food or daily necessities.
After walking around the city, Su Fangli returned to the clinic in Luopu when it got dark.
At this time, there was still a patient crying in the lobby.
"There's nothing wrong with your body. Don't worry, or you'll get sick." Luo Pu and his apprentice were comforting the patient.
The patient was in his thirties, and judging by his manners and dress, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family. However, his face was pale, and the areas under his eyes were dark, as if he had not slept for several days. He was only breathing his last breath.
He sat on the ground, his tone weak but remarkably firm: "I must be sick, don't try to fool me."
As Su Fangli entered the lobby, the first thing he saw was this man's horoscope.
Neptune in the first house, in harmonious aspect with the Moon, indicates that this person is born with a strong sense of sensitivity and sharp intuition, and can often catch details that others overlook.
This person's horoscope is heavily water-based, so their dreams and subconscious mind must be particularly active. Considering what he just said, Su Fangli guessed that you must have foreseen something.
"Brother, are you in trouble?" Su Fangli approached and asked, deliberately revealing her fortune-teller attire.
But who would have thought that the man only glanced at her, then immediately turned away and continued to pull Luo Pu's sleeve.
"Doctor, save me," he begged.
Su Fangli received Luo Pu's pleading gaze, thought for a moment, and continued, "Have you been troubled by nightmares recently?"
This sentence successfully attracted the other party's attention.
"You saw the future crisis in your dream."
"Your dreams often come true, and this time is no exception. You will die in this crisis. Not just you, but everyone in this city will die."
Su Fangli continued to tell the story, but the man remained indifferent until she finished her last sentence.
"You know?" He approached Su Fangli, his eyes bright and surprising in his deep eye sockets.
Su Fangli: "I have a solution."
"Really?" He paused. "Why?"
Su Fangli signaled the others to pack up their things and said, "Stay away from this city."
The man was half-believing and half-doubting, so Su Fangli said, "Don't you often foresee the future in your dreams? You can come back with me. You'll naturally find the answer in your dreams."
These words moved the other person. He propped himself up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and resumed his demeanor as a rich young man.
Luo Pu knew that his family would leave with Su Fangli, and he had packed his things long ago.
He brought his family with him and stood in front of the closed clinic, sighing.
"There's still a chance to come back. It'll be around the beginning of next spring." Su Fangli comforted.
As the group walked on the road, they attracted the attention of many people.
Luo Pu was a famous doctor in the city. Seeing him leave with his family, they all came over and asked:
"Why is Dr. Luo moving?"
"But what happened?"
"Is the clinic still open?"
Luo Pu explained one by one.
Someone noticed Su Fangli's attire and asked, "Is this the master who helped He San and his wife with their fortune-telling?"
Su Fangli paused as she heard the man explaining to the person next to him, "This master is incredibly insightful. He said that since Mr. and Mrs. He San abandoned their lucky daughter, the heavens will take back their blessings..."
As this person spoke, he stretched out his tone, attracting the attention of the people around him.
"Guess what? Madam He San miscarried a few days ago, and it turned out to be a strange-looking monster! He San was also frightened by this monster and actually went crazy! Tell me, why did they abandon Fuxing before? This is karma!"
Su Fangli heard it clearly and suddenly remembered that the little girl had not been found yet.
"Take them back to the city first. I'll stay here for one night." Su Fangli handed the things in his hand to Xu Ying and instructed.
"But it's not safe here." Hearing this, several people around him started to persuade him.
Su Fangli shook her head: "It's okay, I know my limits."
These people were unable to persuade Su Fangli, so they could only return to the camp together.
After they left, Su Fangli drew a lot and walked in the direction indicated by the lot.
"Long time no see. Do you have a new love?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Su Fangli turned around, but there was no one behind her. The voice continued, "You don't want our daughter anymore?"
