Chapter 33 Worry
Seeing that Xiao Zhuo was also interested in the book, Shen Yuexi held it up and moved the candlestick to the side so that both of them could see it.
She read quickly and would pick up the pages with her fingers after finishing. When Xiao Zhuo nodded to indicate that he had finished reading, she would turn the page.
The more she read, the more she admired the wisdom of the ancients. It recorded not only the Great Yan Dynasty, but also the new technologies that appeared in previous dynasties. What interested her most was the records of various production materials.
The candle on the table gradually grew shorter. The light flickered. Two figures were reflected on the wall, almost overlapping.
"Look at this." She raised the book a little higher with interest.
Xiao Zhuo's voice rang softly beside her ear: "Do you like these inventions?"
Shen Yuexi hummed and turned another page.
I don't just like it, I love it. From now on, I just need to follow the instructions in the book and upgrade it based on the original one, and I also have the source of the manufacturing.
From now on, no matter who asks about what she made, she will have a basis for explanation and won't have to make excuses.
"I usually like to tinker with new things, as you've seen. The allicin I'm working on today will show results tomorrow. Madam Lin's child took it today, and the effect is very obvious."
Xiao Zhuo's eyes showed a hint of surprise, so he asked again: "Can you make the things in this book?"
As long as the corresponding materials can be found, of course it can be made, otherwise why is it called a universal manufacturing machine? Big Bear's database contains extremely vast information.
But of course she couldn't tell Xiao Zhuo the truth directly.
"As long as there's enough time," avoiding Xiao Zhuo's inquiring gaze, Shen Yuexi tilted her head and pretended to think, "I think all these things in the book can be done."
It is even more perfect than those in the book. Produced by Daxiong, it is absolutely a masterpiece.
Now she can make some medicine to earn some money for travel expenses. As for something more powerful, even if she wants to make it, she doesn’t have the raw materials.
If Mrs. Lin's baby hadn't been sick, she really couldn't think of what medicine to make to make money.
Now she could not only save people but also make money, killing two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, she leaned back with a smile, looking at the roof, and suddenly felt that this small house had become spacious and bright.
She didn't notice at all that she was resting her head on Xiao Zhuo's chest.
Xiao Zhuo put his hands on her shoulders and stood up. He walked to the bed to make it and said, "If the medicine is done, don't make it again."
As if he was afraid that she didn't know the situation, he explained to Shen Yuexi: "It's inconvenient for others to know our identities now, so you have to be more careful in your actions."
Shen Yuexi placed the book on the table and crossed her hands behind her head. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Zhuo and said, "Don't worry, I'll make this batch of medicine first. I won't go anywhere while you recover from your injury."
Xiao Zhuo was worried about their safety, and she knew it. If things didn't work out, she could try selling it in the village. She could also make some garlic powder for herself. The journey to the frontier was unpredictable, and who knew what might happen.
Xiao Zhuo nodded and hummed lightly, then asked casually, "Are you going out today for this medicine?"
Although she didn't know why Xiao Zhuo brought up this matter, she didn't think there was anything to hide.
Thinking of the situation at Mrs. Lin's home, she still felt a little sad. The five-year-old child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
"That's not the case," she sighed. "I was bored today and wanted to go out for a walk to see if there were any ways to make money, but then I happened to see that the baby in Madam Lin's family was sick. Madam Lin said that Doctor You and other doctors were helpless. I remembered seeing the treatment for that disease in a rare book, and I happened to have the medicine, so I gave it to the child."
This is also the reason why she started making allicin as soon as she came back.
Let everything take its course. As long as she goes to check tomorrow to see how Mrs. Lin's baby recovers after taking the medicine, the medicine will soon spread in the small village.
She seemed to see the white silver waving at her, and she couldn't help but grin and raise her lips high.
Only the last bit of the candle was left, and the candlelight made crackling sounds and became dim.
Shen Yuexi yawned, got on the bed, pulled half of the quilt over herself.
But when she saw Xiao Zhuo still awake, sitting at the table reading a book, she felt embarrassed to let him fall asleep so carelessly. Ever since her last bad sleeping posture, she felt a little uneasy.
What if he takes up the entire bed when I fall asleep?
But after a short while, my eyelids started to droop.
Xiao Zhuo said, "I'm tired, so let's go to sleep."
Shen Yuexi really couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as Xiao Zhuo said this, she decisively moved to the innermost part of the bed and lay down properly against the wall.
Just as she lay down, she remembered something and suddenly sat up.
"That wanted poster in the county..."
When she treated Mrs. Lin's baby, even Mrs. Lin knew about Xiao Zhuo's situation, let alone the other villagers. Although the villagers didn't often go to the county, if they did, they would definitely discover the existence of the notice. They might not have the awareness of Feng Zhang.
The longer she stayed, the more dangerous she and Xiao Zhuo would be. Xiao Zhuo said it was right to leave early.
Xiao Zhuo put down the book in his hand, slowly walked to the bedside, and asked, "Are you worried about the wanted order?"
Shen Yuexi nodded and said, "I'm afraid someone in the village will go to the county town..."
Xiao Zhuo sat beside the bed and said softly, "My injury is healed now. We can leave this place tomorrow."
"How can that be possible?" Shen Yuexi interrupted him. "I still need to sell silver. You should stay home honestly for the next few days and don't go anywhere. If the people in the village haven't really seen you, there's no need to worry about someone exposing you."
How could I run away now when I was about to get the money? I couldn't just beg for money along the way.
Moreover, the identities of the two are sensitive, so they have to disguise themselves when they travel. What should they do without money?
Xiao Zhuo seemed to sense her concerns. He frowned and said, "Do you think I am someone who can't even raise the money for the trip?"
Shen Yuexi wanted to blurt out, "That's right." But when she saw his sullen expression, she closed her mouth again.
Xiao Zhuo had no money on him except the jade pendant, so where would he get the silver?
But in order to save Xiao Zhuo's face, she just laughed dryly twice.
Xiao Zhuo simply said, "Before I leave, I will raise some money, so you don't have to worry."
Shen Yuexi was curious about how she would get the money. Could she go to the mountains to hunt some animals and sell them? But his wounds hadn't healed yet. If he went to the mountains and the wounds opened, wouldn't it be more trouble than it was worth?
She still has to rely on him to be her thug.
"You can stay for two more days at most," Xiao Zhuo said calmly as he got on the bed. "You can't delay any longer. You must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the Feng family will be dragged down by us."
Since there are still two days left, it means that Xiao Zhuo will definitely get the silver within two days.
But if he got hurt, it would be difficult for her to escape alone. Firstly, she didn't have a guide, and secondly, if she encountered someone chasing her, who would help her?
As she was thinking, she drifted off to sleep.
