Chapter 37: Conditions!
The commotion at noon caused everyone to be hungry, but because of the heartbreak grass, all those who were infected could not eat anything even though they were so hungry that their eyes were staring.
Chen Zhenghong, the youngest son of the Chen family, was only two years old, at an age where he couldn't afford to skip a meal. Sun Qiulan hadn't eaten anything all day and had no extra milk at all.
The child cried when he was hungry, and the whole team was shrouded in the child's crying. The Chen family was helpless, and the third sister-in-law could only look to Ran Qingxuan for help.
After a brief consideration, Ran Qingxuan walked straight towards the dilapidated temple where the officials were waiting.
The poisoned officials were resting after drinking the medicine. Ran Qingxuan was not in a hurry. He first stood at the door and took a look inside.
After what happened at noon, Ran Qingxuan observed and found that Bu Fei, the younger brother of the bailiff Bu Wei, was impulsive, easily hot-headed, and had a bad temper.
He Xun is a stubborn person. He does whatever others tell him to do. It is impossible to explain.
As the chief of the escorts, Bu Wei is the kind of person who takes the overall situation into consideration and sticks to his principles. He is able to protect himself while not being found guilty of his mistakes.
But if you stick to your principles too much, the opportunities for communication will be very limited.
In her opinion, the only person who can communicate with her among this group of people is Qian Zheng. He thinks about the consequences first when encountering something, which makes it easier to communicate and also allows her to consider the overall situation.
But Ran Qingxuan did not want to take advantage of Bu Wei's coma to negotiate with Qian Zheng for convenience. If he did so, if Bu Wei knew about it after waking up, he might think that Qian Zheng was interfering.
In this case, it would be even more difficult to propose conditions.
Just as Ran Qingxuan was standing at the temple gate considering whether to go in, he heard Bu Fei's surprised exclamation from inside.
"Brother, you finally woke up!"
"Hurry, hurry, the boss is awake. I have to say that Ran is really good!"
"Boss, if you don't wake up we're going to start digging a hole!"
A burst of laughter came from the officers, sweeping away their previous worries and tensions.
Ran Qingxuan stuck his head out and looked inside, and saw Bu Wei, who had felt much better after resting, being helped to sit up by his brother, and Qian Zheng poured him some water to drink.
But Bu Wei's mind was still a little unclear. After looking around with his bloodshot eyes, he finally remembered what had happened.
"I almost forgot that we had a life-and-death experience at noon."
I recall that my throat tightened first, then I couldn't breathe, and then my stomach hurt so much that I couldn't see clearly...
Then someone gave him some water, and he seemed to have been vomiting for a long time...
Later, he vaguely remembered someone lying down and blowing air into his mouth...
Long hair...delicate features...and bright eyes...
At that moment he was a little dazed, looked at Bu Fei and said quickly: "Why can't I remember, who saved me?"
“It’s Master Shen’s granddaughter, Ran Qingxuan!”
In an instant, the pair of bright eyes gradually became clear, and the owner of the delicate facial features slowly overlapped with Ran Qingxuan!
Thinking of this, Bu Wei's face turned red instantly, and in an instant, his expression became strange again.
Qian Zheng and Bu Fei were watching from the side in confusion, and they thought that he cared about the fact that he was rescued by a prisoner.
"Boss, you don't know how scary it was. You were already dead. It was Ran..."
"Stop it, don't say that!"
Qian Zheng saw that Bu Wei looked unhappy and confirmed his guess.
Ran Qingxuan, who was standing outside the door and saw Bu Wei's face suddenly change, felt a little depressed.
It seems that this person really sticks to his principles. Even though she saved him and all the officials, he would not be overly grateful for her life-saving grace.
It seems that it is a fantasy to want to change the Gu family's situation in this way.
But they never expected that Bu Wei actually pointed at the big bag that their officers were carrying and gave instructions to Qian Zheng beside him.
"Look at how many white flour buns are left in the bag. Give one or two to the Gu family and those who helped us. This way, others won't say we are ungrateful!"
Qian Zheng knew that as escorts, the last thing they could do was show mercy to the prisoners, but they were also human beings and knew what it meant to be grateful!
With the boss's permission, Qian Zheng immediately went to get food for the Gu family. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Ran Qingxuan poking his head out from the door of the dilapidated temple.
"Ran, you just happened to come over, come in and talk!"
The closer Ran Qingxuan got, the more Bu Wei wanted to avoid his sight. It was not until she got closer that Qian Zheng spoke.
"The boss said to give you some white flour buns. If there are enough, each person in your family can get two!"
Ran Qingxuan didn't say anything, but looked at Bu Wei seriously.
What she wanted was not just two white flour buns.
In order to make the Gu family's future exile easier, she must make good use of this opportunity.
Bu Wei seemed to understand what Ran Qingxuan meant. He turned away awkwardly and said bluntly, "You can tell me what conditions you have. As long as they are not too excessive or beyond my ability, it's fine!"
"Well, as long as you don't think I'm trying to repay a favor, that's fine."
Ran Qingxuan was very direct because this was the sentence she was waiting for.
"Actually, my requirements are not high. Considering the hardships of the exile, I want to buy some daily necessities at the next place I stay. After all, the weather will only get colder, and the Gu family consists of women and seriously injured people..."
In fact, her space had everything, including money, quilts, and cloth, but the only thing missing was daily necessities.
As long as they have pots, pans, and utensils, they can solve their own food and clothing on the road. They can't eat white flour buns for one meal and go back to vegetable buns for the next.
Bu Wei didn't expect that Ran Qingxuan's request was so simple, because even if she didn't mention it, she would be able to get the winter quilts and clothes provided by the government at a fixed place later.
Even if they were prisoners, it was impossible for them to freeze to death on the way to exile!
Bu Wei agreed to Ran Qingxuan's request without hesitation, and said: "Xiaoweishan County is where we replenish supplies. When we get there tomorrow, I will let He Xun take you to buy daily necessities."
"Thank you very much." Ran Qingxuan was happy in her heart but did not show it on her face. After all, if she showed too much happiness, it would be like telling these officials in disguise that she had a lot of money.
Ran Qingxuan paused as he was about to leave, and Qian Zheng asked, "Any other questions?"
Ran Qingxuan pursed his lips, a little hesitant.
"It's not a big problem actually. My third sister-in-law's family has a two-year-old child who can't eat steamed bread, and the child's mother is also weak. I want to use the pot and some rice to make some rice soup for the child."
"Bu Fei, get her some rice and a clean pot, and take the steamed buns over."
Bu Fei did it honestly because Ran Qingxuan saved his elder brother.
Gu Yanchen was lying on the cart. When he saw the officers following Ran Qingxuan back, he suddenly became nervous.
When the Gu family and the Chen family saw this scene, they immediately got up from the ground and looked at Bu Fei behind Ran Qingxuan vigilantly.
"Ran saved us officials, and our leader said he would give you some steamed buns to eat, and agreed to Ran's conditions."
After saying that, he put the pot and the steamed buns on the ground.
