Chapter 101 The condition is two rations per meal
When Shen Changan heard the woman's words, he was so excited that he didn't know how to react!
Xu Zhiyi stared at the woman with expectation and confirmed again: "Are you serious? Can you really cure my husband's leg?"
The woman looked at everyone who was extremely excited and nodded again: "Yes! I can cure it, but..."
Shen Wuyou heard this and interrupted anxiously: "But what? As long as you can cure my brother's leg, I am willing to do anything."
Shen Changan: "Wuyou, this is none of your business. It's my leg that needs to be healed. Whatever it takes, I should bear it. Don't take everything on yourself."
Xu Zhiyi: "You two should just go away. If I marry you two, I will be responsible for you. So, girl, no matter what conditions you put forward, I will definitely go through fire and water to try my luck."
Woman: "What are you doing? I just want to make a request. That is, before you leave, you have to include my daily ration. I have a big appetite, so I need two portions. Is that not too difficult?"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. No, this is just the request?
Xu Zhiyi: “That’s it?”
The woman shrugged. "That's it! What do you think? Should I do it?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded wildly upon hearing this: "Yes, but we should still give you the money for your leg treatment."
Upon hearing this, the woman blurted out: "No need, someone has already... um"
I realized that I almost said something I shouldn't have said, and I was so scared that I quickly covered my mouth to stop what I was about to say.
When he saw that everyone was waiting for his next words in confusion, he let go of his hand and said:
"As a person, I can help you with your treatment for free if I am willing. If I am not willing, even a thousand ounces of gold cannot stop me. So, let's not talk about those mundane things!"
If she really wanted to collect money, she was afraid that these people would not be able to afford it with all their wealth. Her legs had been paralyzed for too long, and she would have to spend a lot of her precious medicinal herbs. Just one of them would cost several hundred taels of silver, not to mention several kinds of the world's precious medicinal herbs, which she had bought with thousands of taels of silver.
Then he looked at the ground, pointed at the pile of things, and urged: "Hey, are these all food? I'm hungry again, you guys hurry up and cook first, I'll take a look at my legs slowly after I'm full."
Everyone: “………” Suddenly they realized that the girl was being a little modest when she said she would eat two servings of food for one meal. Last night she ate the food of four people by herself. It was only daybreak now, and she was hungry again?
But everyone still went about cooking. There was no firewood in the yard, so Shen Wuyou followed a few young men and picked up knives to go outside and chop some firewood.
Xu Zhiyi mixed flour with water and added some salt so that the pancakes he would make would taste better. After getting the firewood back, he started making pancakes after starting the fire.
After I finished frying them, I counted them and found that there were 22 of them. That should be enough. I could keep 15 for myself. There were 7 left. Should that be enough for the girl?
Unexpectedly, under everyone's stunned gaze, the woman finished eating the seven pancakes and then took a large steamed dough from Doctor Li.
You know, these men only eat three breads! If they really want to be full, they can only eat five at most, and they can't eat more than that.
The woman touched her stomach contentedly, burped, then stretched and yawned, "Oh! I have a habit. After eating, I have to sleep for a while. When I wake up, I promise to check my legs right away."
Everyone looked at the woman who waved and went into the bamboo house, and then everyone looked at each other.
This guy, isn't he a liar? Is he trying to get free food and drinks?
But I also think that everyone is alive here, thanks to the life-saving grace of others. If the benefactor can eat, then do more! Being able to eat and sleep is a great blessing!
At this time, the people of Liuhe Village accidentally took the wrong road and managed to avoid being chased by the soldiers.
At this time, the first and third wives of the Xu family looked at Old Man Xu in the distance. After waiting for many days, he finally breathed his last. But because he died of an epidemic, people from the first and third wives did not dare to collect the body.
Just plan to leave old man Xu Xu's body to remain in the wilderness.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at her husband, who had died and had no sons willing to help collect his body. She felt sorry for him and said to the first and third wives:
"Eldest and third brother, he is your biological father after all! He is gone. As his sons, are you really going to let him die?"
Xu Lei: "Mom, Dad has a contagious disease. If he dies, will he also implicate me, his son?"
Xu Le: "That's right! Mom, if Dad knew our difficulties, he would definitely not embarrass us brothers. If we brothers and I were to encounter any accidents because of him, Dad would not be able to rest in peace even if he went to the underworld!"
Li glared at Old Lady Xu and said, "Mom, if you can't bear it, why don't you go and collect Dad's body? But I've made it clear, if you touch Dad's body, we won't let you get close to it again. Go away on your own."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu looked at the body of Old Man Xu in the distance. After all, her own life was more important, and she absolutely did not dare to take the risk.
Old man, just rest here! When we get there, I will ask these two brats to burn more paper money for you. Don't blame them, they have no other choice!
At this time, the villagers of Liuhe Village were all lifeless, no longer as arrogant as before, and they kept crying from time to time.
Along the way, every family lost a loved one. Originally, after the village head and Xu Zhiyi and others left the team, there were still about 220 people in their team. More than 50 of them starved to death on the road due to lack of food and water.
Later, more than 20 people were injured in retaliation from other villages. The only doctor in the team, Dr. Li, disappeared at some point. When everyone went to him to see the injured, they found out that the injured people did not receive timely bandages, and another ten people died.
Later, more than sixty people died due to the epidemic, and now there are only about eighty people left in the team!
Xu Zhiyi led everyone to sleep on the floor in the yard. There were only two rooms, but the yard was quite large.
Shen Changan was lying on the ground. When he heard the sleeping person snoring, he became even more confused!
He was afraid that the woman was just joking with him, and his rising hope would dim all of a sudden until there was not even a bit of hope left.
Xu Zhiyi knew that Shen Changan was definitely not in the mood to make up for his sleep, so he propped up his head and got up. Sure enough, he saw that he did not close his eyes. He reached out to cover his eyes and said softly:
"Catch up on some sleep. We walked through the tunnel all night last night. Don't overthink it. Even if she was joking with us, we still have Doctor Mu, right? As long as she really exists, we still have hope, don't we?"
"As long as there is such a person, there will always be a day to find him"
Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi from the side, reached out and grabbed her hand that was about to be extended back, and whispered: "My wife, how about you kiss me and comfort me?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi quickly pulled back his hand, stared at Shen Changan’s face, and asked suspiciously: “Shen Changan, are you possessed by Shen Wuyou?”
