Chapter 263: The Lady of the Wang Family
Li Sihong was still worried that the man would take the money and abandon them. Zhao Xiaofei teased her, "Didn't you say that a man who's so dedicated to saving his wife can't be too bad? Why are you worried now? You have to have faith in your intuition!"
"Go away! We're just worried that he'll be so focused on saving his wife that he'll forget about us!" Li Sihong said angrily.
Actually, Zhao Xiaofei was just joking with Li Sihong. It would take a long time to climb up. After climbing up, you have to take a breath! If we delay a little longer, it will probably be almost done.
Sure enough, the man rested for a long time and finally started shaking the rope. As soon as the rope moved, Li Sihong said to Zhao Xiaofei, "Husband, you go first!"
"You should go first! We were so worried just now, but now someone is pulling us up, so don't be so modest!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
"No! You go up first, I'll wait for you downstairs!" said Li Sihong.
"Waiting for me down there alone? You'd be scared as a woman! Don't bother talking, just hurry up." Zhao Xiaofei didn't want to waste time with her anymore, so he just tied Li Sihong up with a rope. Then he pulled the rope hard, and the big man on top started pulling her up.
Li Sihong wasn't afraid of insects or snakes, but she was afraid of heights. She hadn't felt anything when she jumped off the cliff, having no doubt she was going to die. But now that she had hope of survival, she began to feel afraid.
Looking down, Zhao Xiaofei's figure was getting smaller and smaller. Her feet felt empty, just like her heart, which was also empty. As they climbed higher and higher, a gust of wind blew, making the swaying even more frightening. Li Sihong was so frightened that her legs and feet were weak. When she reached the top of the mountain, Li Sihong finally vomited.
When she felt better, she and the man pulled Zhao Xiaofei up together. At this point, the two of them finally escaped.
Zhao Xiaofei approached the man and bowed, "May I ask your name, sir? I will reward you handsomely in the future!"
The man smiled innocently and said, "No need to mention my surname, Wang! Everyone call me Wang Fugui! Madam just gave me some money, and I will definitely give it my all! A man must be honest!"
At this time, Li Sihong took off another earring and stuffed it into Wang Fugui's hand, saying, "Wang Zhuangshi! Please accept it. This is a small token of gratitude from my wife and I! It's a gift for your wife!"
Wang Fugui was a little hesitant, but then he thought about how his wife had been with him for two years and didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry, so he accepted it. He said to Zhao Xiaofei and Li Sihong, "My dears! What are your plans? If you don't have anywhere to go, you can go to my little house and rest for a while."
Zhao Xiaofei and Li Sihong both planned to find a place to rest for a few days, find out what the situation was like outside, and then make their next plan. So they followed Lao Wang to his home, a small wooden house in the mountains.
The cabin is halfway up the mountain. In addition to the main house, there are two other rooms. The east room is obviously the owner's, and the west room is used to store a bunch of miscellaneous items.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a woman lying on the bed. Her face was a little yellow and she seemed a little malnourished.
Seeing the stranger coming, the woman quickly stood up and sat up. When Wang Fugui saw his wife, the wrinkles on his face immediately relaxed. He quickly said, "Madam, are you feeling better?"
"Better! I feel better after sweating! Why did you come back so soon?" asked Mrs. Wang.
"I went to the valley to look for the bear that fell into the valley, and I met these two nobles! I saved them, and they gave me silver earrings. Madam, now you have some decent jewelry!" After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he took out the silver earrings in his arms and showed them to his wife.
When Mrs. Wang saw the earrings, she was shocked. But she said nothing more and asked Wang Fugui to boil water and cook to entertain the two nobles.
Li Sihong looked at the Wang family lady. Her delicate skin clearly showed she wasn't from a farming family. She bowed and said, "Madam Wang, my wife and I are in trouble. Thank you so much for saving us, your husband. I'm sorry to bother you for the next few days!"
"You two nobles, please don't be so polite!" The wife of the Wang family turned to Wang Fugui and said, "Master, go and make something to eat. And boil some hot water. I'm sure the two nobles will need to take a shower too!"
Wang Fugui happily agreed and went down to prepare. It was obvious that Wang was a henpecked husband. Wang's wife said a few more words to Li Sihong and then went to find Wang Fugui.
The wife of the Wang family said to Wang Fugui, who was lighting the fire, "Master! You can't pawn these silver earrings. Melt them down and use them as silver."
"Madam! Why? It's much more valuable if you pawn it than if you melt it down to make silver!" Wang Fugui asked.
"You! You haven't read a few days of books, so you don't know that this is not something that belongs to ordinary people. It is engraved with a phoenix pattern, and only the royal family can use it." The wife of the Wang family said. Obviously, the wife of the Wang family was knowledgeable.
"Have you seen the things used by the royal family?" Wang Fugui asked.
"No! But the Ming Dynasty has regulations. If you violate the regulations, you will be sued, and in serious cases, you may be beheaded!" said Mrs. Wang.
"Could they have robbed the royal family?" Wang Fugui said in surprise.
"Do you think that couple look like robbers? They must be royal relatives in trouble. You should serve them well. Maybe one day we will become successful!" said the wife of the Wang family.
"But I still have to go to the county town to get medicine for you. How can I serve them?" Wang Fugui said.
"I'm here!" said the Wang family's wife, and then she coughed twice.
Wang Fugui frowned and said, "You're not in good health! You can't wait on others!"
"I will do my best! Go ahead and get busy!" Mrs. Wang said with certainty.
"Is it really okay? Don't tire yourself out!" Wang Fugui said to his wife.
"I know what's important to me. If I'm tired, I'll just say I can't do it, okay?" said Mrs. Wang.
Wang Fugui had no choice but to obey, cooked for them, and went down the mountain to find a place to melt a silver earring. Then he carried the bear skin on his back and went to the county town on the other side of the mountain dozens of miles away.
As soon as Wang Fugui left, the Wang family's wife looked towards the east room. Apparently, Zhao Xiaofei and Li Sihong had finished their meal. She walked to the door, coughed lightly, and said, "Have you two finished your meal? May I come in and clean up?"
"Madam Wang, please don't be polite. Come in! We are not honored guests at all. Come in!" Li Sihong warmly invited Madam Wang in. Li Sihong and Zhao Xiaofei absolutely did not dare to admit that she was an honored guest.
"The man in our family has not received much education and does not know what rules and regulations are. Madam's earrings have phoenix patterns on them, how can she be an ordinary commoner!" After Mrs. Wang said this, Li Sihong realized that her earrings had betrayed her identity. Zhao Xiaofei's face tightened, and he thought: It seems that I have to learn from Cao Cao and kill Lu Bushe's family.
