Seeing Tang's mother's worry, Lin Zao took out 45 taels of silver from her bosom and placed it on the table; in fact, she had taken it from her spatial storage.
"Mother, don't worry. I just found a magical treasure on the road. I sold one of the items in the city to get this money. If you don't believe me, I have a few more items here. I can show them to you after dinner!"
Seeing that Lin Zao was not flustered at all, Tang's mother figured it was true and relaxed so she ate her meal quietly.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya couldn't wait any longer. As soon as their grandmother and mother finished speaking, they immediately reached out with their chopsticks to pick up some meat to eat.
"The meat is so delicious, Grandma, Mom, you should eat!" Tiger Head barked, his little mouth chewing incessantly, a look of enjoyment on his face.
Although Ya Ya ate a bit more politely than Hu Tou, she was just as good, her mouth and chopsticks never stopped.
"Eat slowly, have a bowl of chicken soup first!"
Lin Zao first made Tang's mother drink her medicine, then served her a large bowl of chicken soup, full of chicken meat. She also served a bowl to each of the two children. Watching them eat with satisfaction, Lin Zao's face was also full of happiness.
The two adults and two children actually finished all the food, and even Lin Zao was stuffed. After the meal, they all leaned back in their chairs, holding their stomachs, and reminisced about the meal.
The group looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, as if all the gloom from before had been swept away, and they were filled with anticipation for the future.
After the meal, Lin Zao boiled several pots of water, and everyone thoroughly washed themselves. After washing, they felt several pounds lighter.
After putting on clean new clothes and drying her hair, Tang's mother lay in bed and, with Lin Zao's help, had her dressing changed again.
After taking good care of Tang's mother, Lin Zao coaxed the two children to sleep and placed them next to Tang's mother. Then she went out to pour water and clean up the mess.
When Lin Zao came in again, she was dragging a black leather suitcase. Under Tang's mother's gaze, she calmly opened the suitcase, revealing its contents. Inside were some items that Lin Zao had prepared in advance that could be taken out and exchanged for money.
There are five multi-functional Swiss Army knives, five solar-powered flashlights, five binoculars, ten watermelon cleavers, and ten military daggers.
Most importantly, there were two modern military crossbows, which she took from the supplies she had moved during the apocalypse.
Other items include a variety of brightly colored and exquisite tableware, glass cups, and other glass products.
There were also some odds and ends, such as a dozen or so lighters, a small pack of tissues, five toiletry bags, and a large bag of loose milk candies, fruit candies, and chocolates, filling a 24-inch black leather suitcase to the brim.
Lin Zao took advantage of the fact that Tang's mother was unconscious and didn't know what things were, so she carefully selected some things that she needed to take out.
That way, she won't need to make excuses when she needs it later. As for the candy, it's specially prepared for the child.
Tang's mother looked at these things in surprise. She had never seen anything like them before, and she didn't even recognize many of them. For a moment, she even stammered.
"This...this...Zao Niang, where did you find these magical treasures? Won't this cause a lot of trouble? What if someone finds out...?"
"No one noticed when I found the things. I found them by accident in a hole. I carried them with me and hid them very well, so no one noticed. So, Mother, you can rest assured and focus on recovering."
"Once you're better, we'll go to Ganzhou right away. We won't be discovered then."
Lin Zao finally managed to persuade Tang's mother. After packing up her suitcase, Lin Zao went to bed and fell asleep right next to the child. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.
In the following days, Lin Zao would go out every day to gather information and buy some things he needed to prepare for the trip to Ganzhou. Most importantly, Lin Zao planned to get a mule cart.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to walk all the way to Ganzhou with her two children and Tang's mother.
Luolin Prefecture is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Ganzhou Prefecture. Even if she travels by mule cart, it will take more than a month. She has crossbows, so she is not afraid of being robbed on the way.
After taking the medicine for a few days, Tang's mother's internal injuries improved a lot, and her external injuries were basically healed. The bruises on her face faded, revealing her original appearance.
Her skin was sallow and yellowish, and the corners of her eyes were marked by the passage of time. Although she was only in her early forties, the hardships of life had added a lot of gray hair to her head, making her look like she was in her fifties.
Lin Zao also went to Jishi Medical Clinic to get two months' worth of medicine for Tang's mother, so that she wouldn't have to worry about running out of medicine on the way.
The day before he was to leave, Lin Zao had already bought a mule and a cart, and prepared everything he needed to take along the way.
During this period, she also went to several grain shops in the city to sell grain a few times, and accumulated more than 500 taels of silver in her hands. After all, money is essential in this era.
Lin Zao suddenly remembered how awkward and embarrassed Tang's mother looked these past few days while she was helping her with washing and getting ready for the bathroom. She then thought about whether she should buy someone to serve Tang's mother. It would be good to have someone to look after her on the way.
"I'll buy it right away!" Lin Zao gave Tang's mother and the twins some instructions and then headed out towards the West Market.
It was getting dark, and many vendors were packing up to go home. Lin Zao turned into an alley and was about to walk forward when she suddenly heard a crying sound.
Lin Zao immediately became alert and scanned her surroundings, but didn't see anyone.
"Who goes there! Show yourself!"
