When the people left, Hui Niang breathed a long sigh of relief, and complained about Shen Xi.

Shen Xi looked in the direction of the door, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The woman had already said that their village had been broken by officers and soldiers, and there was nowhere to go, and their family of four, even if they had one or two pieces of silver, how far could they go without a guide?

When she got home in the evening, Hui Niang didn't mention it to Zhou, but Zhou heard something from the mouth of the person who bought the medicine: "...... There are barbarian women in the city, sister, do you say it's strange? I don't know what those barbarian women look like, but I must see it when I have the chance. ”

Shen Xi smiled: "Mother, they are all people, and they don't have many noses and eyes, what is there to see?" ”

Hui Niang didn't speak beside her, in her opinion, as long as the four Miao people left, even if she lost six taels of silver before and after, at least it would not affect the peace of the two families.

But after dinner, just as Zhou was about to take Shen Xi and Lin Dai home, suddenly there was a quick knock at the front door of the pharmacy. Hui Niang asked in the past, only to know that it was Uncle Gan, a knowledgeable guest from the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Uncle Gan, why are you so frightened?"

Hui Niang looked at the panting Uncle Gan and asked.

Uncle Gan first glanced at Zhou, who was looking curiously in the room, and then leaned into Hui Niang's ear and whispered, Hui Niang's face suddenly became ugly, and finally she nodded and asked Uncle Gan to go back first, while she came back to explain to Zhou.

"There's a merchant from the merchant house, so I'm going to discuss business...... Sister take Xiaolang and Dai'er back, it's no big deal...... Xiu'er, you come with me, Ning'er, you stay at home, I'll come back later, remember not to fall asleep, so that I can open the door. ”

In the past, Hui Niang also had the experience of going to discuss matters overnight, and Zhou did not suspect it, but Shen Xi felt that the matter might be related to the four Miao people before.

Wait for the dead of night. Shen Xi quietly touched the back door of the pharmacy and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. After a while, Hui Niang came over and opened the door. From her sad appearance, Shen Xi knew that she had just come back.

When they arrived at Hui Niang's room upstairs, the two sat down, and Hui Niang sighed faintly: "A few aliens who came to the Chamber of Commerce during the day were stopped by the officers and soldiers of the guard station when they went out of the city at dusk. It turned out that the man was a fugitive and had been hit by an arrow while being pursued by officials. ”

Shen Xi couldn't help but take a breath, he didn't expect the problem to be so serious.

"What about the women?"

"They walk on the front and back feet...... The women are fine, but after the man's accident, they can't get out of the city, and now the four of them are placed in the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce...... Uncle Gan didn't dare to publicize this matter, they didn't look for anyone, but they came to the door, it seems that we are in trouble. ”

Shen Xi muttered in his heart. He originally thought that these people would be gone and there would be nothing left, but he didn't expect that the tattoo on the man's face was very eye-catching, and if the official really had to check carefully, it would be really difficult to fool the past...... I don't know how he got into the city before.

Now the problem is that the potato can't be lost, if the official sends a big fanfare to search for fugitives in the city and track it down to the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Hui Niang and the Chamber of Commerce will suffer.

"Get them out of town." Shen Xi immediately made a decision.

"To put it lightly, because of the discovery of the fugitive, even on my way back, I was interrogated by officials several times before. How easy is it to send people out of the city? Now the official is only setting up a card on the street, and has not yet searched from house to house, and the man is injured again, and the matter is getting more and more difficult......"

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "Aunt." It's tricky, and it's going to have to be dealt with quickly...... Isn't there a boat on the other side of the dock now? After the official mission has withdrawn in the middle of the night, we will secretly settle the people on the ship, disguise them as the husbands of the ship, and send them out of the city when the fleet departs tomorrow morning. ”

"That's ...... Is it too risky? ”

Hui Niang was flustered, and the best thing to do was to ignore these people. Let them fend for themselves, and even if they come back, they will report directly to the government and clear up their responsibilities. But Hui Niang is kind-hearted, she really doesn't want to see death without help, and she is also afraid that the matter will be exposed and Shen Xi will be implicated in the end.

Shen Xi said: "It's better to take risks than to leave people here at the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce...... People come and go here at the main hall every day, and even if no one goes to the government to report it, the news will slowly leak out. It is better to send people to the ship tonight, and then take two pairs of wound medicine over, and estimate that tomorrow the government will go to various pharmacies to strictly investigate the trade of wound medicine. ”

Hui Niang didn't think about it so much, but after listening to Shen Xi's words, she felt that it made sense.

At that moment, Hui Niang hurriedly made preparations, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street after the third watch, and took Shen Xi to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, at this time Uncle Gan was in a hurry to walk around the door, after all, the man was injured by an arrow, and he was just a person who was sent to eat in the middle of the house, and he didn't want to bear so much responsibility.

Shen Xi went upstairs and found that the family of four was in the room, and the man's arrow wound was on the back, and the arrow had already been pulled out, but fortunately the artery was not damaged. Shen Xi gave him medicine, bandaged it briefly, and explained that he would send them to the boat first later, and send them out of the city after dawn.

"Thank you."

The two adult women were very grateful, they were cornered, and after the man was injured, they could have taken advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, but they didn't want to be separated when they reunited, so they crossed cover, and finally took people out of the pursuit of the officials. There was nowhere to hide in this strange place, so they had to come to the main hall of the chamber of commerce again for help, not wanting to be well taken care of.

Shen Xi shook his head: "Saving you, it has caused me and my family a lot of trouble." I want to ask you, even if it is taken by officers and soldiers halfway, let alone have anything to do with us...... That's all we can help with. ”

After the two women agreed, they were still grateful.

Waiting for the two women to help the man downstairs, Hui Niang was waiting a little anxiously below, and at this time she had already asked Uncle Gan to go to the dock to make arrangements first.

Before the news comes back, you can't act rashly, and even the nursing home in the backyard can't be disturbed casually.

The two Miao girls were a little anxious, only the little girl sat quietly and looked at Shen Xi curiously. Her world is very simple, and now that her family is reunited, it is the time for her to be happy, as for the subsequent upheaval, she doesn't want to think about it, she just wants to live every minute and every moment now.

The little girl was innocent and cute, Shen Xi yawned, she smiled when she saw it, and her innocent and carefree appearance couldn't help but make Shen Xi think of Lu Xi'er.

Or the little girl, like Lu Xi'er, was well cared for in her childhood, and even when she was in trouble, she didn't really understand how many hardships would await her in the future.

"What's your name?" Shen Xi was really bored, so he couldn't help asking.

The little girl's eyes widened, she didn't understand what Shen Xi meant, she shook her head blankly, and then she seemed to remember something, and carefully took out a rice ball from her arms and sent it to Shen Xi's hand. Shen Xi smiled and shook his head, this rice ball looked like a little girl's dinner, she was reluctant to eat it but wanted to give it to herself, which showed her good character.

Shen Xi took out a copper plate and threw it up suddenly, after the copper plate rolled in the air, it landed firmly on the back of Shen Xi's hand, and the little girl smiled, she had never seen such an interesting performance.

"Take it, buy food on the way." Shen Xi stuffed the copper plate into the little girl's hand.

The little girl did not put it in her pocket, but learned to throw it upwards, but her little hands could not grasp it at all, and the copper plate fell directly to the ground. The little girl looked a little annoyed, picked up the copper plate, and threw it a few more times, only the last time it was low, and she barely grasped it, but her face was already full of excitement.

Shen Xi played with the little girl for a while, and the two did not understand the language, as if they were acting in a pantomime...... The children's world is universal, and even if they don't speak, they can still find fun in some small games.

At the fourth watch, Uncle Gan came back with a carriage, indicating that the dock was ready.

Subsequently, Uncle Gan took the four of them to the courtyard and got into the carriage, and the little girl kept looking at Shen Xi, as if she hadn't had enough fun. But the fate of two people is only so much, from meeting and acquaintance, it took less than a day before and after, and they didn't even know each other's names to separate, and the two of them never looked at each other again.

Hui Niang was anxious to send the carriage out, and Uncle Gan at the dock would let the people of the "Waterway Gang" arrange it properly.

When people sent them away, Hui Niang still looked worried, but the matter had come to this, and she didn't want to count Shen Xi anymore.

The two did not go back to the pharmacy, and waited for more than an hour, and when it was almost the fifth watch, Uncle Gan finally came back, saying that he had hidden people in the cabin, and with the good relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the Yamen on weekdays, it stands to reason that even if the officers and soldiers search, they will not pick up all the goods under the cabin.

"Auntie, let's go back, if my mother knows, she may not know how worried she is." Shen Xi finally said apologetically.

If he hadn't had to be kind enough to buy three Miao women, there wouldn't have been so much going on.

Back at the pharmacy, Hui Niangwu was worried, and only when the boat left the ground in Tingzhou smoothly and sent people away from the ship, the matter was completely over.

"Xiaolang, tell me about you, what are you doing to provoke them?"

Hui Niang finally complained with a little little woman, "It makes my aunt's heart follow up, their family is safe, if something happens...... My aunt couldn't get over it. If things happen to us again, won't all the efforts we made before be in vain? ”

Shen Xi smiled and comforted: "Aunt, I know it's wrong." However, if I encounter this kind of kind thing in the future, I don't think I can stand by and watch it coldly. ”
