Xu Taohua's mind was in a mess and she didn't listen to their conversation anymore.
Shen Changshan looked at A Li, "A Li, if you buy another one, wouldn't that be too high-profile?"
In fact, with their current physical strength, pushing two carts is not a problem, and Shen Changshan is worried that if they have two mule carts on Taohua Road, the people in the old house will definitely find trouble and disturb the family.
"Dad, we have the strength now, and we have two cars. All our stuff is in the cars, so outsiders don't know how much stuff we have."
Shen Changshan suddenly realized and remembered the opportunity given to A Li by the immortal.
"Ali is right. I'll go buy it tomorrow morning."
He had thought wrongly before. He was only concerned about the beginning and not the end. He was always trying to guard against the people in the old house and forgot about the opportunity with Ali.
Shen Jingyuan and Shen Yuanzhou felt that their father's attitude changed a little quickly, but they didn't think too much about it.
Shen Qi'an felt that there was something fishy going on, but he couldn't figure it out. He just thought it was just like what his younger sister said, used to cover up the truth.
When Xu Taohua came back to her senses, she saw her father-in-law had made the decision, and a little hope arose in her heart. If their family had two snail carts, could they take better care of their mother and brother when they fled the famine?
She kept this matter in her heart and tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep.
"Taohua, is it too hot?"
Shen Jingyuan said as he picked up the palm-leaf fan beside him and gently fanned Xu Taohua.
Xu Taohua bit her lip. She didn't know whether she should tell her husband about this.
"I……"
"What's wrong?"
"My husband, how true are you about fleeing the famine?"
Shen Jingyuan continued to fan her, “Didn’t Dad say that this is just a possibility, he just asked us to be prepared, don’t be afraid.”
"I'm not afraid, I'm..."
Shen Jingyuan's brain, which had not been used for many years, rarely turned, "Is Taohua worried about her mother-in-law and second brother?"
"Um."
Shen Jingyuan also fell silent. As for his mother-in-law and second brother, if they really wanted to flee from the famine, they would be in great danger.
"Taohua, don't worry. If you want, we can bring mother-in-law and second brother to live with us and take better care of them."
Xu Taohua's eyes were a little red, her throat was a little blocked, and she said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
The couple didn't talk. Xu Taohua fell asleep listening to the faint sound of the wind in the room.
The next morning, the father and daughter finished their training early and drove the snail cart to the town.
Two miles away from the town, Chen Li saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. The driver was missing, and the suppressed crying of a girl could be heard from the carriage.
"Mom, wake up, don't leave me!"
When Shen Changshan was driving the mule cart and the horse carriage side by side, the girl stuck her head out of the carriage and asked them for help.
"Sister, can you give me some water?"
"My mother has a heat stroke, woo woo~"
The little girl has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and her hair is a little messy, but the material of her clothes is very good, and it is obvious that she is not from an ordinary family.
The mule cart drove in front of the carriage, and Chen Li sat on the carriage with the water bag.
Jiang Muxue saw that they didn't stop, so she fell back into the carriage, tears streaming down her eyes again.
Chen Li saw this scene when she lifted the curtain of the carriage. The little girl was very cute and was sitting there crying.
"Burp~"
Jiang Muxue hiccupped in fright when she saw the carriage curtain being pulled open.
"Sister~"
Chen Li looked at the woman lying in the carriage. She was wearing a honey-colored jacket and a white brocade skirt embroidered with yellow flowers.
At this moment, the woman's face was pale, her lips were colorless, and fine beads of sweat were oozing from her forehead and neck.
"What happened to your mother?"
The little girl wiped her tears and said quickly, "My mother has a heart disease. She was frightened just now and her heart disease flared up."
"Where's the medicine?"
Jiang Muxue took out a sachet and said, "Here it is! Without water, I can't swallow it."
Chen Li opened it, took out a pill, stuffed it into the lady's mouth, picked up the water bag and fed her water in small sips.
Fortunately, although the woman was unconscious, she still had the instinct to survive and swallowed consciously.
Chen Li reached out and lifted the curtain. A breeze blew in from outside, dispelling the heat in the carriage.
Although it is morning now, the temperature is still very high.
Chen Li saw that the woman was not just anxious, but also seemed to be showing signs of heatstroke.
So, she fed him several sips of water, raised her head and said to the girl, "I'll take you to the clinic in the town ahead."
Jiang Muxue nodded, "Thank you, sister."
Shen Li went down and told Shen Changshan about the situation, then drove away in the carriage.
They soon arrived at the Huichun Pavilion. After examining her, the doctor stroked his beard and said, "This lady is fine for now. Her heart disease has eased. She can just take the medicine she had before. She has a bit of heatstroke, so she needs two more doses of summer heat medicine."
Shen Li nodded and looked at Shen Muxue, “Can you do it alone?”
Jiang Muxue's face turned red as their money was taken away by the driver.
"Sister, could you please take a message to Ruyi Tower in town for me?"
The little girl was not very old, and her big eyes were full of pleading. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red, making her look a little pitiful.
"Then write it."
"Thank you, sister. I will reward you."
Jiang Muxue borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the clinic, quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Li, and also took out the jade pendant she had hidden on her body.
"Sister, take the jade pendant to Ruyi Tower. The shopkeeper will come over after reading the letter."
Ruyi Tower is not far away, and Chen Li can reach it in 10 minutes by jogging.
Inside Ruyi Building, there were several tables of people sitting in the lobby. Chen Li saw Shopkeeper Hu using an abacus at the counter.
He walked over and placed the jade pendant on the counter. When Shopkeeper Hu saw the jade pendant, he immediately raised his head.
"Girl, you..."
Why does this girl look familiar?
Chen Li gave him the letter and told him the story again in a concise manner. After reading the letter, the shopkeeper immediately walked to Chen Li's side.
"Girl, where are they now?"
"Rejuvenation Hall."
Shopkeeper Hu called a waiter, gave him a few hurried instructions, and then followed Chen Li away.
Shopkeeper Hu was a bit fat and was running behind Shen Li, which was quite funny. Many people on the street looked at this strange duo.
"Miss!"
Shopkeeper Hu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the woman lying on the bed.
When Jiang Muxue saw him, her eyes turned red again, "Uncle Hu, my mother..."
Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. Everything is fine."
Even so, it took Jiang Muxue a few minutes to calm down.
"Thank you, sister, Uncle Hu."
Jiang Muxue thanked Chen Li and looked at Shopkeeper Hu.
Shopkeeper Hu was also a wise man. He took out 200 taels of silver and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
Chen Li accepted it, nodded at them, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Jiang Muxue.
