Aunt Zhang glared at him, said nothing, and hurriedly left with the silver!
She clutched her chest tightly!
She couldn't calm down for a long time. She couldn't imagine that just now, the little girl had gently held her hand, and that piece of silver had been split into two pieces, one big and one small!
The little girl seemed to be able to guess what people would ask her!
An escape route had already been prepared for her!
She was genuinely grateful to the girl, but because it was the first time she had received so much money, she looked around nervously the whole way!
She was afraid of attracting attention!
But her looking around so intently was hard to ignore!
Lin Ru secretly followed the old lady and dealt with a few thugs who were tailing her!
She found the old lady's guilty look quite amusing!
Once she got home, Lin Ru left. Since she was going the same way as Aunt Zhang, she figured she could consider the escort as repayment for Aunt Zhang's kindness.
As for the money given, it came from that corrupt official anyway, so it can be considered a return to its rightful owner!
Lin Ru looked at the sky; it was almost an hour already, and she almost rushed back!
So she used a bit of her lightness skill to rush back just before the appointed time! Before returning, she took out several wooden buckets that she had previously stored in her spatial storage specifically for holding water!
There were also some pastries, seasonings, and water pouches inside!
Upon arriving at the inn, he handed the wooden bucket and pastries to Wu Ling!
"Take these wooden buckets and the water bags inside, and fetch some water from the well behind the inn. Fill them up as much as you can!"
"I just ran into Wu Fei on the street!"
"I've already sent him to buy a donkey cart! So just start loading it in!"
"We'll put everything in the car and take it back!"
Wu Ling nodded. He had bought the grain on the spot and brought it back in a donkey cart.
There were already several cars outside!
But nobody thinks they have too much of this!
After giving her instructions, Lin Ru turned around and saw the sullen villagers!
Lin Ru could roughly guess the reason for their situation!
It's probably because the price of grain has gone up, and the store has basically sold out of brown rice. The money you get from selling medicine shouldn't be enough to buy more than a few kilograms of grain!
However, buying some potatoes can help us last for a while; it's better than nothing!
Seeing that their luggage was all packed, Lin Ru quickly went upstairs to pack her own things!
As soon as she entered the house, she saw all sorts of oil paper packages, each one emitting a delicious aroma of food!
It must have been food prepared by the innkeeper of the Qianqian Inn that she had asked before!
She didn't even bother to count them; she just put them all into her spatial storage!
When she came out, everyone saw that she was carrying a large bundle, but no one dared to ask what it was!
Waiting for Wu Fei to come back!
Wu Ling and Wu Juan have already filled the buckets!
The other villages followed suit, buying several water bags and filling them with well water!
Don't underestimate these water bags; they can save lives in a critical moment!
And just like that, everyone was all ready!
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a shout from behind!
"Miss Lin! Miss Lin! Are you leaving already?"
Lin Ru turned around and saw that the owner of the voice was actually Yu Wang!
She then remembered that she seemed to have given Yu Wang poison, and described the poison as extremely dangerous, telling him to come and find her to get the antidote when he had time!
She quickly said, "I almost forgot about that. The poison you used wasn't a potent one. I was just lying to you before. You can find any doctor to cure it. You don't need to get the antidote from me!"
Yu Wang smiled and nodded!
"Do you really think I'm stupid?!"
"I cured this poison last night. I originally wanted the doctor to see how many more years I could live, but I didn't expect to cure your poison first!"
Lin Ru was a little surprised to see that he had been cured of the poison!
"Then what did you come to see me for?"
"I don't think there's anything I can do to help you!"
Yu Wang then nervously pulled Lin Ru aside!
He looked around again to make sure no one was nearby, then whispered, "Miss Lin! I came to find you not to cure your poison, but to tell you to leave immediately!"
"The magistrate summoned my uncle and the others last night!"
"They say the Prince of Shun's army is about to attack!"
"I heard it's only two days' journey from here!"
"Once you're out of the city, ride as fast as you can!"
"Prince Shun is extremely ruthless! Wherever he goes, he slaughters the entire city!"
"My uncle told me to leave with my aunt and the others!"
"However, the chronic poison in my body can't be cured in a short time!"
"Even if I die, I want to die with my head held high!"
"Let's go, I'll see you off now!"
"That way, the guards at the gate won't give you too much trouble!"
Lin Ru felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this!
She desperately wanted to stay away from the people and things that moved her, but they always seemed to come looking for her!
Lin Ru sighed helplessly.
She went inside the inn and asked the waiter at the door for paper and pen!
She wrote down all the information she knew and her own opinions, and then took out a pill from her bosom!
She was very reluctant to part with even a small piece of the pill!
Finally, with a pained expression, he handed the small piece of pill and the note to Yu Wang!
"If you trust me, I'll take the medicine. If you don't, give it back to me now. Also, take this note back to your uncle after we leave!"
Yu Wang saw Lin Ru's stingy behavior just now!
And look at that pained expression on his face now!
He quickly took the pill and put it in his mouth!
Moreover, he had a strange kind of trust in Lin Ru!
Therefore, he had no doubts about the medicine whatsoever!
"Believe it! If you wanted to harm me, I don't know how many times I would have died!"
Even if I don't believe my uncle, I have to believe you!
"But what exactly is the use of these pills? Look at the pained look on your face!"
Lin Ru glared at him, annoyed!
"What good is it? This can save your life!"
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just take good care of your life from now on!"
"Your life is worth a lot now!"
Yu Wang understood the meaning immediately!
Moreover, he seemed to be able to feel the wonder of the medicine. As soon as it entered his mouth, it seemed to turn into a very warm liquid, circulating through his blood vessels!
It made him feel very comfortable, especially his mind, which was the clearest he had been in more than ten years!
He immediately wanted to kneel down and thank Lin Ru!
Lin Ru helped him up and said, "You don't need to thank me. If I should thank someone, it's you. I wasn't planning to give you this medicine. It was your own kindness that saved you!"
"Let's go, hurry up and get us out of here so you can deliver this letter to your uncle!"
Yu Wang was very happy and prepared to lead Lin Ru and the others toward the city gate!
All of this was observed by the three pairs of eyes at Anqian Inn!
The waiter and the shopkeeper glanced at the boy beside them!
He asked, "Young Master! They've left! Should we chase after them?"
