The woman immediately handed the child to Xu Miaomiao, and Xu Miaomiao handed Xu Nianmiao to the woman. In this way, the two of them held each other's children. Xu Miaomiao began to check the girl's breath, only to find that there was indeed no cure. Xu Miaomiao had to stand up and shook his head at the woman.
The woman was so hopeless that she almost collapsed on the ground. Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and held Xu Nianmiao in her arms. The woman trembled, took her child and began to cry loudly: "Why did it happen? He was fine yesterday, why is he like this today? It must be you, it must be the food you gave him, there is a problem, you killed my child."
The woman pulled Mei Niang beside her and yelled at the top of her lungs.
The woman's face darkened. Xu Miaomiao cried out inwardly that something was wrong and wanted to step forward and hold the woman, but he was a step too late. The sharp dagger had already cut her neck, and there was not even a trace of blood. She turned back and looked at Mei Niang. Then she said, "I didn't expect that this lady was so worried that she followed her child. It's really pitiful!"
After hearing what he said, the other women hugged their children tightly. The sadness between their brows was clearly captured by Xu Miaomiao. It was obvious that they had done so many businesses, and the dead child was definitely not one of them. And those crazy mothers should have been dealt with by them, right?
Xu Miaomiao patted Xu Nianmiao's back as a comforter, and saw Mei Niang slowly walking towards Xu Miaomiao. She looked at him and said with a smile: "Did Madam Xu eat what he just said?"
"Of course I ate it." He said this but he was still a little nervous, because he didn't know whether the woman had seen through his trick. The woman stepped forward and stared at Xu Nianmiao's head, checking it carefully. Seeing that the girl's breath was indeed very weak, she looked at U Miaomiao with relief and spoke.
"Since this is your first time delivering goods, you should follow them and learn from their experience. I will only give you ten taels this time. Then, as you become familiar with this business, you will naturally get more money."
Xu Miaomiao pretended to be shocked and nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, I can get ten taels for just this trip, in the end it's all my profit, thank you very much, madam."
Mei Niang did not speak. Instead, she looked at Xu Miaomiao with a look of disdain. She snorted and turned away. "I didn't know that the master would let me arrange for an ordinary woman like you. It's really a waste of talent!"
After saying that, Mei Niang turned and left. Then Xiao Si from the store came up and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Since you have joined us, you know that this road is not easy to walk. You must not be discovered by others. And even if you are discovered, you must not expose this matter. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether the child in your arms will be safe."
Xu Miaomiao nodded immediately when she heard this: "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't be exposed."
Hearing this, the man was relieved. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "In a little while, a carriage will come to take you to the capital. However, with so many women, it is inevitable that they will attract attention, so each time two women will be holding a child with the others. Remember, don't let others know about this."
"Then which route is Dare to take to the capital for this lord?"
Xu Miaomiao asked immediately, because he had observed carefully before and did not see any route leading to the capital.
The man laughed playfully, took a step forward, lifted Xu Miaomiao's chin, looked at him and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head immediately after hearing this: "Yes, my husband is right. I won't dare to ask any more questions."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao being such a well-behaved man, he also laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Nangong Jin's men are outside carefully monitoring every move here. Presumably after they leave, Nangong Jin and his men will come up immediately and surround this place. However, he doesn't know where the people ambushing on the road are. He has to find a way to leave a signal for Nangong Jin and his men, otherwise there are so many roads leading to the capital, and there is no way to find their location accurately.
Xu Miaomiao thought secretly, and searched in the space, and finally found a bottle of fluorescent powder, which she smeared on the wheel beside her. As long as the wheel passed by, it would leave a trace. Nangong Jin was so smart that he would definitely find it.
"Okay, why are you still standing there? Why don't you get in the car quickly?" everyone spoke up immediately.
Xu Miaomiao followed another woman onto the carriage. They were both speechless. After walking for a long time, the woman saw Xu Miaomiao in a daze and said, "Madam, what difficulties have you encountered? Join me in doing this kind of business."
Xu Miaomiao glanced at the woman, and then immediately explained, saying: "The family is really in trouble, isn't this lady the same?"
The woman nodded, sighed, and said, "A few years ago, there was a famine in Bai County, but Magistrate Hu still wanted to collect taxes. My family couldn't pay it, so we lost two daughters. Now we only have this son. My husband starved to death, and my mother-in-law also starved to death, leaving us with nowhere to go. I wanted to commit suicide by the river, but a little Si stopped me. I told him that it was a way to make money, so I joined in."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she was silent for a long time before she looked at the woman and spoke.
"How many times has this lady delivered goods?"
"That's the third time."
After the woman answered Xu Miaomiao's words, she immediately spoke: "But to be honest, this job is really profitable. I have already earned more than two hundred taels of silver. I will save all this money. I have decided that as long as I send it off for the last time, I will not do this anymore. After all, these things have to be eaten by children. It is said that there is no harm, but I am still a little worried. Thinking about the death of the child just now, I don't know if it has anything to do with it. As long as I save enough money for my son to get married, I will leave and never do this kind of thing again."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart: "Do you know what they sent?"
The woman shook her head and looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "I don't know what it is. I just heard that it is a medicine that can save lives. However, since it is a medicine that can save lives, it must be harmless to the body. But I don't know why we shouldn't use this sneaky method."
