Chapter 30: Retreat
Ruan Mian smiled and said, "I've only read some medical books over the past three years. Father, your problem isn't a big deal. Has the King of Hell's head shrunk back again?"
"By the way, did father eat anything before?"
Mr. Ruan smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know what the King of Hell's head looked like.
"I didn't eat anything either."
At this moment, Zhang heard his voice and hurriedly got on the carriage with a look of joy on her face!
"Are you okay? That's great!" She finally let go of the heart that had been hanging in her throat.
"Thanks to our daughter, Mianmian! No matter what happens to your father, you must remember what I told you just now. No one can predict the future, so you just need to take care of yourself."
"Father, it's okay to leave the property to my brother. I..."
"Your brother was murdered in the court. There are always hidden dangers. Just in case, it is best to leave it to you. Father believes in you!"
It's not that he didn't trust his son, but if those people in the court pursued him relentlessly and really confiscated all the ancestral property, they would be ashamed to face their ancestors.
At this time, Ruan Mian still didn't know how big the mining industry was or how much his ancestors' wealth was.
Zhang Shi also thought about it: "Mother, did Father really not eat anything?"
Zhang had already thought about this question: "I really haven't eaten anything since we set out. I've only had a few sips of water...water?"
They looked at each other, and Zhang quickly brought over the water bag. There was still some water left in it, but Ruan Mian didn't think there was anything wrong with it when he smelled it.
After pouring it into my palm, I found that the water in the bag seemed a little turbid.
Zhang Shi didn't see it and just said, "Mianmian, is it because your father was already in poor health and was attacked by those bandits in the land temple..."
"It's a water problem."
Ruan Mian interrupted Zhang: "Mother, Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have a way to punish that evil person. I will not let Father suffer in vain."
Zhang was slightly startled, a little worried: "Do you know who wants to harm your father? Mianmian, I think we should not pursue it. Just be more careful in the future."
Mr. Ruan pondered and said, "Your mother is right. Dad and Mom don't want you to lose the big picture because of a small thing. We are trying to avoid it if we can."
In their view, the road to exile is already full of dangers, and it is better to have less trouble than more, and to be safe.
But Ruan Mian didn't think so.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me."
"If someone offends me, I will offend him!"
There are only a few people who dare to take action.
She told her father to have a good rest, turned and got out of the carriage, briefly explained the situation to her brother, and then called Cuizhu.
At that moment, the rescued woman timidly approached Cuizhu and whispered, "Miss Ruan...Miss Ruan, I want to tell you something. It might be related to your father."
She told Ruan Mian in a very small voice.
"Just now, during my break, I saw that skinny woman with her hair tied up in a side bun carrying a water bag to the back of the carriage. When she came back, the water bag was gone. I wonder if it has anything to do with your father's illness."
Unexpectedly, she would become a witness.
When Cuizhu heard this, her face turned fierce! !
"Miss, isn't this Liu? How dare she... Let's go tell the official! Teach her a lesson!"
Since there was a witness, Ruan Mian saved a procedure.
She said calmly, "No rush. Since she dared to do this, she should kneel down and kowtow to admit her mistake."
"Liu is so arrogant, she will never kowtow and admit her mistakes even if she dies. It would be better for the officials to whip her a few times!"
"Just based on your words, the official won't whip her for no reason. I have other ways."
What's more, this woman was just a passerby and shouldn't have been involved in their dispute.
At the same time, the Qi family thought that Mr. Ruan’s matter would be delayed for a long time, and they had already found a place to have a good sleep.
Unexpectedly, the news came immediately that we should continue on our journey.
Liu was slightly surprised and wondered, "Could it be that that little whore really has some skills?! She cured it so quickly? But she's not a doctor."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Nanfeng, her son who knew her best, immediately noticed something was wrong and lowered his eyes to ask.
"Mother, could it be you?"
Mrs. Liu wanted to deny it, but after seeing her son's look, she simply said, "It was your sister who got the medicine from Master Dong. That girl didn't tell me what it was at first, so I had to ask her many times before I found out."
After saying this, he didn't forget to praise his daughter: "Your sister is sometimes clear-headed. Isn't this what we call preparing for a rainy day? That old bastard Zhang raised such a daughter. I can't teach her a lesson, but can I teach him a lesson?"
Unexpectedly, Qi Nanfeng was so angry that he pulled her over and scolded her: "Qi Lin has gone crazy! Are you also going crazy?!"
Liu paused, then immediately explained, "That was their water bag. I went there quietly without anyone knowing. Besides, they've already used Chinese medicine in the land temple. If I didn't tell anyone, who would know it was me?"
"No matter what, he's still our in-laws, Mianmian's biological father! How can I reconcile with her after you killed her?"
This shocked Mrs. Liu: "You've lost your mind! You've already divorced! And you're still harboring such delusional thoughts? That little whore would rather divorce than have you. Now that you've become a beggar, how can she still look down on you? You're just dreaming!"
"Mother!! Am I just a beggar in your eyes?"
Liu knew she had said the wrong thing and hurried to explain, but Qi Nanfeng was so angry that he wished his useless mother would just go crazy.
"You better hope nothing happens."
However, how could Ruan Mian let them be unharmed?
After a long journey, several officers could not bear the fatigue.
He asked everyone to stop, made a fire and cooked some soup to fill their stomachs first.
Ruan Mian brought some coarse rice and handed it to Guo Yong. Today he was responsible for lighting the stove.
"Sir, this is the rice I bought last time. You can cook some for yourself."
Guo Yong was not polite either. He said that as long as he followed Ruan Mian, he would have good food to eat. If he was not afraid of the adult behind her, all the good things of Ruan Mian would have been eaten up by them long ago.
Although they are just low-level servants, they know what is important and what is not.
At this moment, Ruan Mian handed him some change and talked to him.
After the soup is cooked, everyone lines up to serve it.
When it was Liu's turn, Guo Yong pretended to be casual and scooped out a few more elbow bones for her, with some leftover meat still stuck on them, which made Liu very happy.
Thinking that it was all thanks to his daughter's friendship with Guo Yong, he asked for another bowl: "Sir, can I have another bowl for my daughter? She was frightened by the bandits yesterday and she's not in good spirits yet."
Unexpectedly, Guo Yong's face changed immediately, and he picked up the whip and lashed the ground: "If you don't want to eat it, pour it all back to me!!"
