Tonight, Chen Ahfu heard from Gao Lizheng, who was having dinner, that the gold thief had fled to the capital again and committed many crimes, not only stealing from the silver shop, but also stealing from Prince An's Mansion. It was said that not only the Five City Military Department, but also the Imperial Guards were dispatched, making a mess, and they were everywhere trying to catch the gold thief. At the same time, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver was offered.
Chen Ahfu gnashed his teeth in anger. That little thing was a troublemaker. Why did it steal from the palace instead of the rich profiteers? Merchants have a lot of money but no status, and they have no power to ask the imperial guards to intervene if they are robbed.
Chen Afu was still a little worried about the little thing's safety.
Chen Ahfu had fallen asleep the last few times and had not encountered the Golden Swallow, so she had no idea it had caused such a big disaster. That night, seeing that Dabao had fallen asleep, she pinched the palm of her left hand, hoping to quickly call it back.
About a quarter of an hour later, the golden swallow really came back. It went straight into the space and shook out four gold bars.
Chen Ahfu asked in surprise, "Are you still committing crimes against the wind?"
Jin Yanzi giggled and said, "Don't worry, Mommy. This was not stolen in the capital. This was stolen in Shi'an Mansion."
Shi'anfu, the capital of Jibei Province, is about 300 miles away from here. It can get back in half an hour, which is really fast.
Chen Ahfu complained, "Why did you have to rob the palace? If you robbed those corrupt officials or unscrupulous businessmen, it wouldn't cause such a big commotion."
Jin Yanzi jumped and laughed a few times, and flew around Yan Chenxiang again, then jumped onto Chen Ahfu's palm and murmured, "Mother Fu, you don't understand, this is called 'swallow' leaving traces. I, Jin Yanzi, have come to Dashun Dynasty and I must surprise people. My goal has been achieved, and I will try not to steal from the palace and the silver shop in the future. These gold bars were stolen from the rich man Shen's house." He added, "Do you know who those people who bought your sewing kit are?"
Chen Ahfu asked, "Who?"
Jin Yanzi said, "They are the family of Luo Xunfu in Jibei Province. I originally wanted to steal the woman's big phoenix hairpin, but when I hid under the window and listened to their conversation, I found out that the family was the relatives of the beautiful sister, so I didn't steal it." She also had an expression that gave face to the beautiful sister.
Those people were none of her business, so Chen Ahfu had no time to think about them. She smiled and said, "How about it, is the house I drew nice?"
Golden Swallow chirped, "Well, they are very distinctive and all beautiful."
Chen Ahfu added, "Jin Baoer, you said you would accept my favor if I painted the house."
Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes, and said, "I did say that. I will remember your kindness. I will find a way to make you a little rich."
Chen Afu was also secretly complaining about its pettiness. If it could make money, it would be a small fortune.
She complained in her mind for a while, then discussed, "I don't want to make a small fortune this time. I want you to bring out some green bird's nest for A-Lu to eat, so that he can suffer less and get better soon. Jin Baoer, A-Lu is a good child, and Mommy can't bear to let him suffer so much."
When Jin Yanzi heard about this, she realized that she was overthinking. She said, "A-Lu is indeed a good uncle, and I want to help him, but his illness is not serious enough to use green bird's nest. When he breaks a bone, take some Yan Chenxiang bark and boil it with his medicine. It can calm the nerves, relieve pain, and promote bone healing as soon as possible."
Chen Ahfu was pleasantly surprised. Even the bark was so good. Yan Chenxiang must be a treasure. He pleaded, "But I can't go to Dingzhou. Can you help put the bark in when they boil the medicine? Dingzhou is only about fifty miles away from here. You can fly there in less than half an hour."
Jin Yanzi agreed straightforwardly, "No problem."
Chen Afu was so happy that he raised the golden swallow in his hand and kissed it on its pointed beak.
Jin Yanzi was stunned for a moment, then she started to laugh, her green eyes narrowed into slits, and she said joyfully, "Fu Ma, you took my first kiss away. But I'm so happy. No one has dared to kiss me since I was a child, but you are so brave and appreciate me."
After saying that, he lay down on the ground, spread his wings and continued to laugh with his pointed beak wide open.
Chen Afu realized later that he was very brave because its little pointed beak was actually an electric spike.
After kissing each other and seeing Jin Yanzi happy, Chen Ahfu decided to ask for some more benefits. He leaned over and said, "Yan Chenxiang has many benefits. Jin Baoer, can you give me some of the dregs? I'll take them out to boil water to drink. Our family is not in good health."
The golden swallow was still beautiful. After hearing this, it gave her a wink and flew to the tree. With its pointed beak, it pecked out a small stick as big as a toothpick. It put the stick in Chen Ahfu's hand and said, "No need to boil it. Just put it in the water tank. Drink the water soaked with the swallow agarwood wood, and I guarantee that your family will get better and better."
Chen Afu was so happy holding the "small toothpick" that the beauty trap really worked. So many benefits are much more than making a small fortune.
She said shamelessly, "Jin Baoer, I'm moving soon. One is not enough. Give me another one."
The golden swallow was still excited and happily pecked at a small toothpick.
Afterwards, Chen Afu reminded Jin Yanzi that this was an extraordinary period and she should avoid going out and causing trouble.
Golden Swallow said, "These things are enough for me to build a house. Now I don't need to steal gold. Instead, I want to find my friends to play with and share the joy of having their fragrance stolen." Then, a black light flashed, and it disappeared again.
After daybreak, Chen Afu secretly put a small toothpick into the water tank. Even though it was so small, if you smelled it carefully, you could still smell a faint fragrance floating in the house. Moreover, the food he cooked tasted better and the water he boiled tasted better.
In the morning, Wang went to the county town to buy some gifts for Chen Shi's family. In the evening, Chen Ye brought two kilograms of cakes bought in the town and asked them to bring them to Chen Shi. Old Mrs. Chen also brought a piece of clothing she made for her third son, and asked Chen Shi to come back to see his mother and brother if he had nothing to do.
The next day, when they left, Wang put a twenty-liang silver ingot into her arms, and also took two silver dimes and a few hundred copper coins.
Chen Ah-fu said to Wang, "Give those two coins to my Third Aunt. You'll be bothering her for half a month." He then hugged Ah-lu and said, "You're a little man, you have to be strong."
After hearing his mother's story about his uncle's treatment, Chen Dabao also said tearfully, "Uncle, you must be strong. I want to learn from you."
Chen A-lu nodded and said, "As long as my leg can be cured, I can endure anything. When my leg is healed, I can go to school and earn money."
After seeing off Wang and Chen Alu, as well as Jin Yanzi who had secretly followed them, Chen Afu became even busier. He had to fetch water, wash the vegetable fields, do laundry, cook, boil medicine, and clean up the new house.
On the third day after A-Lu left, Jin Yanzi, who had returned from Dingzhou Prefecture, said that A-Lu had been treated for his leg at Qianjin Clinic. The doctor had broken the bone and then straightened it, causing the pain to make little A-Lu faint. They returned to Chen Shi's home to recuperate, and Jin Yanzi had secretly put the bark of Yan Chenxiang into the medicine. He would go there once a day for the first three days.
Although Chen Afu didn't see it, he still cried out of heartache.
Three days later, Chen Afu felt better after hearing Jin Yanzi say that A Lu had recovered well and was no longer in so much pain.
