Chapter 34: Green Su
Although the weather in September was cooler, the heat continued unabated, and considering that it was necessary to escort Shen Minggong's body, it was not too late, and the next day Shen Rihui found a carriage from the post station.
The carriage is very simple, it is better than the big, and a few people can eat and sleep in the car along the way, saving the cost of staying in the hotel.
However, when the groom saw that he was going to transport the corpse, he was jealous and did not want to take the life.
Shen Yueran proposed to double the fare, and Wu Zhaorong took out another good jade pendant, so that after the horseman proposed to isolate the body and place it in the back of the car, he finally agreed.
The Shen family was originally destitute, and there were very few valuable items, except for Wu Zhaorong's dowry, which always came out of nowhere, there was almost no need to clean it up, and the Shen family brothers and sisters could set off with their clothes.
The departure was scheduled for the next morning, the fifth day of September.
As soon as she opened the door, Shen Yueran was startled, and the men, women and children who came to see her off surrounded in front of Shen's house.
Odd!
Didn't we discuss the need to "keep a low profile in everything" a long time ago? How the neighbors all know.
She glanced at Wu Zhaorong, who was full of spring light, and understood half of it in her heart.
Is it a face-saving thing to enter Beijing, and you can't take the opportunity to show off?
She pursed her lips, picked up her belongings and got into the car, then sat on the beams of the car, dangling her legs to watch a good show.
"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, I steamed a basket of steamed buns overnight and took them on the road to fight hunger. When you get there, if you remember our sister, write a letter. ā
"Brother Shen family, this is a few brothers' cotton clothes, bring it to protect against the cold. On weekdays, I have to take care of my eldest brother, and I have a safe journey. ā
"Shenzhong, I was reluctant to give it to you last time you wanted to play with my sandbag, this time you are leaving, I will give it to you."
ā¦ā¦
Shen Yueran listened to it, and the whites of her eyes turned upwards when she listened.
It's just that he went to Beijing to bury his father, and he didn't go back forever, so he didn't need to pretend like this, hey!
She was about to get back into the car when several red-eyed old men surrounded her.
"There are many rich people in the capital, if you look at a pleasing son, you will get married, don't keep that ridiculous oath anymore." An old man said earnestly.
"That's it, the Shen family left with regrets, don't let Brother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen worry in the future." Another old man hurriedly chimed in.
"Also, be diligent in the future, and don't dare to be vicious anymore." The third old man hurriedly added.
"Shen family girl, you go, Wenchi is missing an 'old girl', but why is my old man still worried about it, woo woo ......"
Shen Yueran couldn't cry or laugh.
She suddenly remembered what Mei Cailian had said to her through the window paper.
"Actually, they play with you because they like you."
Perhaps, that's how they like themselves?
- It's so special.
She hugged these old people one by one, and said with a grin, "Okay, okay, then you can take good care of yourself one by one, it's best to take care of yourself one by one, live a long life, don't look back, I dragged my family to come here, and I only saw a handful of loess." ā
The old men's faces suddenly darkened.
Under the repeated urging of the groom, the Shen family finally set off.
The carriage was bumpy, coupled with the long and rugged road, it must be difficult to adapt to the initial trip, Shen Yueran thought of this, and made preparations for motion sickness early in the morning.
She prepared plenty of fresh orange peels for the season, only some liquid food in the morning, and a flexible cloth towel.
After getting into the car, she fixed herself on the back of the seat with a cloth towel to prevent her body from shaking too much, and held the orange peel in her hand, once she felt uncomfortable, folded it in half and put it under her nose, inhaled the oil mist, and relieved the symptoms.
She closed her eyes and recuperated herself, not looking at the fast-moving scenery outside the car window, and after a while, tiredness hit her, and she fell asleep.
I don't know how long she slept, and it didn't seem to be long, she noticed that the carriage slowly stopped, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Wu Zhaorong and Shen Chong scrambling to jump out of the carriage, bending over and vomiting.
"Yue'er is okay?" Shen Rihui saw that she was awake and asked softly.
Shen Rihui has been doing rough work for many years, climbing up and down all day long, adapting very well, and there are no symptoms of vertigo.
"Okay." Shen Yueran replied and pointed out the window, "Where are you?" ā
Shen Rihui said with a smile, "Even the Wenchi border hasn't gone out yet, and Zhaorong and Chong'er are about to die." ā
Shen Yueran smiled.
It should be said that most motion sickness is a symptom, not a disease. However, once this symptom occurs, it is more painful than ordinary illness. Fortunately, she did everything she could, or she was sure that she would be like the two people in the car, turning her stomach and turning pale.
She took the opportunity to untie the cloth towel and get out of the car to breathe.
The border land is deserted, and the endless yellow sand is like a microorganism flying in the air under the direct rays of the noon sun.
She only looked at it for a moment, and then she felt her eyes dry and burning.
She rubbed her eyes and saw a small, thin figure gradually sinking into the depths of the yellow sand.
Thinking it was her own delusion, she rubbed her eyes again.
I saw that figure staggering around, as if he could no longer walk, and collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, that'sā" she blurted out.
She was sure that it was a person, or a young girl!
"Hmph." The groom's indifferent voice came, "Every year, there are countless people who want to walk out of the northwest with a pair of feet, but how many people die in this desert in the end. ā
Shen Yueran was gloomy.
Since ancient times, water flows to low places, people go to high places, who does not yearn for prosperity, who does not yearn for wealth, but how many people can enjoy real prosperity and wealth?
She looked into the distance again, and the figure seemed to move.
Still alive!
She glanced back at Wu Zhaorong and Shen Chong, who were still vomiting, and resolutely ran towards the fallen figure despite the groom's stopping.
******
"Midori Su?"
Shen Yueran picked up the man and exclaimed.
It was Lu Su, one of Li Xinyi's personal girls, who brought a group of Li family members to the cake shop to settle accounts with her, and later clarified for her in court.
Lu Su's lips were chapped and weak, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Shen Yueran, and grabbed her wrist hard.
"Sister Shen, save me, save me, save me......" she returned to consciousness and let out a continuous cry for help.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take you out." Shen Yueran didn't think about it, she agreed repeatedly, picked up Lu Su, and walked to the carriage.
******
"There are five people in total, how can there be one more person?" The groom looked displeased.
"There is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, what should she do with a girl's family." Shen Yueran discussed, "Can you let her go down when you get to the front post station?" ā
"No, stop and go, don't talk about delaying the trip, the horses are easy to stale." The groom refused.
Shen Yueran scolded secretly in her heart, what a, but I just want to sit on the ground and raise the price.
She touched her shriveled purse, thought about it, and asked Lu Su to lean on the wheel first, and then walked to Wu Zhaorong.
Wu Zhaorong was vomiting so dizzy that he couldn't even say a word.
Without saying a word, she grabbed Wu Zhaorong's wrist and pressed it hard at the Neiguan acupoint (the inside of the arm, three fingers wide of the horizontal stripe on the wrist).
