Chapter 17: The Man with Heatstroke



The clerk looked at the three of them with annoyance and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't dirty the clothes in the shop."

"How can you, the shopkeeper, speak like that?"

Shen Jinshan was furious. God knew he was already very unhappy when he heard the waiter call his sister a naughty girl.

Now the shopkeeper called them beggars, and he became furious.

Even if the Yang family is behind this shop, the shopkeeper can't be so arrogant.

"Forget it, brother, let's go!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper also acted in the same way, Chen Xinli already knew that this business could not be done.

She wasn't angry at all because there was no need to be.

Just because these two people were looking for something to eat, Chen Xinli didn't want to deal with them anymore, so she grabbed her brother's bamboo basket and went out.

"Uncle, brother, it seems we really need to go to the county."

"Okay! Go! We won't sell it in this Yang's shop anymore!"

The two of them echoed angrily.

Seeing that her eldest brother was still emotional, and remembering that someone had wrongly accused her family of stealing eggs yesterday, and her eldest brother was also in the same situation, Chen Xinli couldn't help but want to say a few words.

"Brother, we don't need to get angry when others look down on us. There are so many people and things in this world that make us angry.

If we get angry every time, we won’t be able to survive. The key right now is to sell these bamboo fans quickly.”

Shen Jinshan immediately looked ashamed. He was too impulsive and not as perceptive as his sister.

"Ali, is this also taught by the gods?"

Shen Fuyou was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He understood this principle, but it was difficult for him to express it.

"Yes, big brother, don't feel embarrassed. If I hadn't learned all this from the gods, I would be worse than you! Thank you for protecting me!"

Chen Xinli looked at the two of them with a smile, but comforted her eldest brother.

My niece is smart. She hit the nail on the head in just a few words. She really takes after that vicious wife of hers.

Shen Fuyou was very proud of himself and didn't feel at all that he was too far away.

***

The sun was scorching and the cicadas in the trees were chirping incessantly.

The uncle and nephew were still sweating profusely as they walked under the scattered shade of the trees.

As for why there are two people?

Because the Chen Xin pear was sitting in a round bamboo basket carried by the second uncle.

She originally wanted to take a bullock cart to the county, but when she saw her second uncle and eldest brother looking at the money in their pockets tightly, she seemed hesitant to speak, so she decided to go with them.

My second uncle was afraid that she couldn't walk anymore, so he insisted that she sit in the bamboo basket.

He even picked up two handfuls of straw from the bushes and put them under the bamboo basket to prevent Chen Xinli from feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, the thin man was striding forward with a bamboo fan on one side and carrying her on his back.

The eldest brother stood aside, looking eager to take on the burden.

After walking for about half an hour, Chen Xinli looked at the two of them and saw that their faces were flushed red, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

The temperature is so high now, what should I do if I get heatstroke!

"Second uncle, big brother, let's take a break!"

Chen Xinli herself was hot and thirsty. She wanted to drink water, but she hadn't thought about this when she went out in the morning, so she planned to go into the space and get some fruit to eat.

Looking at his niece's sun-kissed face, Shen Fuyou felt a little guilty.

Why didn’t you think of getting a fan to shade your niece from the sun?

Chen Xinli crawled into the bushes nearby.

The two of them just thought she went there for convenience and did not ask any questions.

After a while, she took out three big mangoes, and Shen Fuyou suddenly panicked.

"Ali! We're outside. What if we get discovered?"

The grown man couldn't help but scold his niece.

"That's why we have to eat quickly!"

The family's concern was genuine and not concealed at all. Shen Xinli didn't mind at all. She had already checked everywhere and there was no one here.

The uncle, nephew and two other men finished eating the big mango with satisfaction again. The mango core had already been thrown into the space by Chen Xinli.

She asked Ah Hua to find three large round leaves in the forest in the space, and Chen Xinli directly took one and covered her head with it, which immediately made her feel much cooler.

My second uncle and eldest brother followed suit and felt much more comfortable.

After the rest, the three of them were preparing to set off.

Suddenly, I heard some shouts from behind.

"Those in front... please wait a moment!"

Chen Xinli looked over warily and saw a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old in green clothes running towards them!

However, when he saw how Chen Xinli and the other two were dressed, the boy looked disappointed.

But he still bowed and asked anxiously, "Please help me, my master has a heat stroke. Can you help take him to the county hospital?"

The boy's sweaty face was also sunburned red.

Seeing that the three of them didn't respond for a long time, the boy bowed his hands and said with a tearful voice:

"As long as you can send my master to the county, I will reward you handsomely!"

The three members of the Shen family were originally going to the county, but now this person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they didn’t know whether he was good or bad, so it was better to be cautious.

Chen Xinli understood the hesitation of her second uncle and eldest brother, but the weather was hot and it would be very dangerous if people who suffered from heatstroke did not receive treatment in time.

Even if they don't cause trouble at that time, who knows if trouble will come to them.

Then he said, "Can we see your master first?"

Several people walked quickly to a carriage about two hundred meters away.

Chen Xinli's eyes suddenly widened.

I saw the carriage in front of me, which seemed to have a problem with its wheels and was parked on the side of the road.

The dark brown roof was tightly wrapped on all sides, except for a small window on two sides.
