Yue Jiuyue smiled as she looked at Lin Chaoxi, seeing how excited he was and how he wanted to empty his house immediately, but she felt a pang of heartache in her heart.
If they weren't so desperately short of food, why would Lin Chaoxi be so excited to see his own grain?
Fortunately, this year's harvest was bountiful, allowing Lin Chaoxi to confidently transport the family's grain to the border town.
Yue Jiuyue didn't know how Lin Chaoxi had contacted his comrades. Moreover, although it was supposed to be a few days' vacation, he had been at home for half a month. Yue Jiuyue guessed that it was because of the food at home.
This is good. With more time, we can prepare more things. Yue Jiuyue took out all the money in the house and let her four brothers go out to buy things, mainly medicines, such as wound medicine and fever reducers. In short, prioritize the most important things.
After all, although the family had a lot of money, tens of thousands of taels of silver, when it came to buying medicinal herbs and purchasing carts, horses, oxen, and donkeys, they found that the money was just a drop in the ocean.
Yue Jiuyue suddenly regretted it so much she felt like her guts were turning green.
If only she had known! If only she had known Lin Chaoxi was still alive, if only she had known Lin Chaoxi would come back, she would definitely have dutifully earned points in the shop and then bought some useful items from it...
She may not be able to make money, but she can earn points!
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life. Yue Jiuyue could only hurry up and earn points, exchanging all the points she had in the shop for fever reducers, painkillers, and anti-inflammatory drugs, then crushing each pill into powder...
"These medicines are very precious. I only managed to get this little bit after a lot of trouble. This is an anti-inflammatory, this is a fever reducer, and this is a painkiller. If needed, these are the normal dosages. This is all you need, so please don't use too much. If necessary, let the doctor see how much is appropriate. There are military doctors in the camp, aren't there?"
She also prepared some absorbable sutures, the kind used for stitches, and they're very cheap. She'd already unpacked them all, and the doctor would definitely sterilize them before use. She wasn't worried about that, but she wondered if the doctor would be shocked when they saw the sutures had disappeared on their own.
Forget it, she can't worry about that now. She'll just take it one step at a time. If the day comes that she's suspected, she'll just travel the world alone. A spontaneous trip will be just around the corner then.
Less than twenty days after Lin Chaoxi told his comrades he was sending a message, one afternoon Lin Chaoxi suddenly said that he was leaving the next day.
It seems his comrades have arrived.
However, none of his comrades came to Linjiagou Village.
"Where are they? Aren't they coming over for dinner and to stay overnight? Anyway, we have plenty of space, and we're even saving them a night's accommodation fee!"
Besides, there's so much stuff to pack at home, I can't leave without their help; they'll have to help me load the car tonight!
There's no need to worry about being discovered. After dark, have them sneak over from the east ridge. They should leave before dawn tomorrow. If they don't make it in time, they can leave tomorrow night. Absolutely no one will notice!
Yue Jiuyue guessed that they didn't want anyone to find out that the grain from Yue Jiuyue's house had been taken away by them, which was why Lin Chaoxi's comrades didn't show up.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care why they did it, but there were more ways to avoid being discovered. Why go through all that trouble to hide and wait in the mountains and forests?
Are you worried about having too many servants at home, as too many people will gossip?
Isn't it a bit late? Every servant in the house knows that Yue Jiuyue is taking everything in the house to Lin Chaoxi.
Are they afraid the villagers will spread the news?
Who doesn't have someone serving in the military? If it's really agreed that the news shouldn't be spread, they will definitely keep their mouths shut and won't say a single word, not even to those old women who love to sit in the street and chat!
Therefore, those people can come without worry.
Besides, they're not trying to rebel; they're clearly donating grain, which is a good deed.
"Mother, it's not like that. It's just that too many people came, and I was afraid that someone would worry."
This "that person" refers to Magistrate Tang.
Hundreds or even thousands of people, and they're not ordinary people, suddenly came to the village under his jurisdiction. Who knows if the other party will misunderstand and think they're up to something?
They preferred to avoid trouble rather than suffer, and getting the grain to the border town as soon as possible was more important than anything else!
