Without saying a word, Master Xin immediately ordered the evacuation, and instructed his underlings to take Tan Fuya along a side path to a safe place. After saying this, he hurriedly left.
My underling had been with us for a while, so he knew this was a distinguished guest. He immediately led his men away, saying, "Madam Fu, come with me quickly. Don't worry about your things; Master Xin will keep them safe for you."
Tan Fuya and the other person followed. This was Master Xin's territory, so he naturally knew which way was safe.
The younger brother led his men quickly to a secluded spot, walking along a small path, saying, "These police check several times a month, we're used to it. Madam, don't worry, it's just a formality."
Tan Fuya: ...Stop talking, there's a public official here.
The younger brother, not receiving the signal, continued, "There are many of us brothers. Anything traded with Master Xin will be transferred. Even if it can't be delivered to you tonight, it will arrive in a couple of days. We are not in a position to meet people, so please forgive us, Madam."
Tan Fuya could only manage a dry laugh: "You guys are surprisingly professional."
The younger brother was delighted: "Of course! The boss said that doing business with a clear conscience is the only way to ensure a long-term business and a steady stream of customers. Only when customers make money can we get some soup."
Tan Fuya could only say, "You guys are really good, letting the customers make the lion's share."
Hey kid, shut up already! Don't accidentally betray your boss.
The younger brother said embarrassedly, "We don't get rich from the entrance fees. Nowadays, we are all suffering. We are content as long as we can earn enough to eat and drink so that our families don't starve. Master Xin said that these antiques are not worth much in China now, and he doesn't want to sell them to foreigners. So he organized this market so that capable people can collect and preserve them, which is better than letting them fall into the hands of foreigners."
This place used to be a concession, so it was still easy to go abroad. Even with strict controls, locals still had connections. Some people had already sold antiques and smuggled them out. Master Xin was furious. He wasn't a rich man, so he couldn't collect them all. This was the only way he could think of.
Suddenly, two people in police uniforms appeared behind them and shouted, "Stop! People in front!"
Tan Fuya and the other two immediately froze. Had they been discovered?
The younger brother was getting anxious, wondering how he could answer the questions later and cover them up.
Tan Fuya was also afraid. She didn't buy things through legitimate channels. If she got caught, Lao Fu would have to do her a favor again. She had to find a way to get away. If she were alone, it would be fine, as she could run faster. Before liberation, because Lao Fu and many other people wanted to cause her trouble, she could only run for her life when she was about to be caught. After a lot of times, there were really not many people who could outrun her.
Liu Yumin had the same thought, but she was guilty. If she was caught, as long as she denied it, no one could do anything to her. Her status as a veteran revolutionary was her shield, but she would be laughed at.
Only the younger brother was like a mouse encountering a cat, so anxious he was practically running around in circles. Seeing the two ladies' calm and composed demeanor, he actually calmed down.
Zhu Fanfan became anxious, though she didn't know why she was anxious. Perhaps it was because she had read too many novels and felt that being caught would be terrible.
She could only bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, constantly telling herself: You can't see me! You can't see me!
The police quickly arrived beside them, glanced at them as if they hadn't seen anything, and walked away, shouting as they went, "Stop right there!"
They quickly caught the person in front of them, angrily kicked him twice, and dragged him away, saying curiously as they walked, "I think I saw two groups of people just now..."
Another person chimed in irritably, "There are only a few of them, and their sneaky behavior is obviously suspicious. Where are the others?"
The trio behind: ...
The younger brother waited until the police left before leading the two to another street. After a lively crowd appeared, the younger brother separated them.
Liu Yumin checked on Zhu Fanfan immediately and was relieved to see that she was asleep. She chuckled and said, "A child is a child. We were so worried, yet she slept so soundly."
Tan Fuya laughed and said, "That's how kids are. Fanfan isn't even 100 days old yet!"
It has to be said that the two of them are both very carefree. They chatted and laughed all the way home, and even bought some groceries on the way.
After returning home, Liu Yumin felt something was wrong. She had used her internal energy to draw out one of the needles from Fanfan's leg. There were still two needles in Fanfan's body. It hurt when she moved, and she would cry a little in grievance. She usually didn't sleep so soundly or for so long during the day.
I quickly took my granddaughter's pulse. Her pulse was normal, but she seemed a little weak. It was strange. She was eating and drinking normally and wasn't exercising. Why was she so weak?
Therefore, Liu Yumin dared not be careless, nor did she dare let Sister Fuya notice the problem and get anxious. She could only use the excuse of being tired to take Fanfan back to the room for careful observation.
As evening approached, Zhu Fanfan still hadn't woken up. After taking her pulse, she found it to be normal; she was just asleep. She couldn't understand it at all. Could it be that going out and lying down the whole time was exhausting?
When she came downstairs, she saw several workers moving things. Tan Fuya saw them and hurriedly asked, "Yumin, where are you going to put your medicine cauldron?"
Liu Yumin was also hesitant. Such a large bronze object was quite heavy and she didn't want to send it back to the capital yet; she wanted to study it first.
As if she had thought of something, Tan Fuya said, "How about I have someone carry it into your room for you?"
Liu Yumin said gratefully, "I've caused Sister Fuya trouble again."
She seems to be causing trouble for Sister Fuya all the time. Sister Fuya is so good to her, she should repay her in some way. She just doesn't know what Sister Fuya is lacking.
Tan Fuya, of course, didn't mind asking, "Is Fanfan still sleeping?"
Normally, Fanfan is clinging to Yumin. The fact that she got down alone means that Fanfan hasn't woken up yet, which is a bit strange!
While asleep, Zhu Fanfan felt extremely tired. She hadn't done anything during the day, just wanted to hide like an ostrich. Then she had a strange feeling, as if she could really hide people. This feeling was very strange, like the release of some kind of energy.
She was certain she was just an ordinary person, so how could she have this feeling? How could she have the ability to hide others? Could it be a belated gift from time travel?
In her sleep, she "saw" her grandmother frowning, pacing around and repeating "How could this be? How could this be?" as if she were possessed. She wanted to comfort her grandmother, but she couldn't move or speak, and she became anxious as well.
Outside, Liu Yumin, unwilling to give up, took Fanfan's pulse again, but her mind was too chaotic, and she couldn't get any results after several pulse checks. Fanfan's body was clearly fine, so why couldn't he wake up?
