There were not many people in the inn, the shopkeeper dozed off in the front cabinet, and the few tables of diners left in a hurry after finishing the food on the table.

Only the diners at the table near the corner did not move, and since Ji Wenqi's words, Shen Yuanyao did not speak again, probably thinking about what he said.

It's not that he is unwilling, but he can't stand the threat of Steward Qin and the trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"You don't know yet." Ji Wenqi was used to speaking unscrupulously, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said without hesitation: "The Qin Family Medical Center is preparing to make the medical halls in Yaozhou City unable to survive this time.

The medicine they sell is a pack of silver or two, and the silver money they give you this time may be just a drop in the bucket, and they earn the hard-earned money of the common people in the name of practicing medicine. ”

Shen Yuanyao's eyes widened at this moment, and his face appeared in disbelief. She only got three hundred taels of silver, but this medicine is not a valuable medicinal material, and if she sells it for one tael of silver, she must make a lot of money.

She knew that Steward Qin was not a good person, but it was too inhuman to do this kind of thing.

That's it this time, what about the recipe she asked Liu Da Niu to give last time? And what a sky-high price did it sell for?

Ji Wenqi saw it in his eyes and put it in his heart, knowing that Shen Yuanyao was not a cold-hearted person, at least he knew the seriousness of it.

"I don't fully believe what you say, so I'll think about it." Shen Yuanyao's face returned to calm, and her tone was so calm that it made people suspect that her change of color just now was just an illusion.

"Doctor Shen should think about it, if you need to go to Jiren Hall in Qingshi Lane to find me." After Ji Wenqi finished speaking, he got up and left, and he still understood the reason.

After all, the reputation of the Qin Clan Medical Center is outside, as long as you put a little effort into it, you can still inquire a lot. Although the medicine is expensive, but the medicine is useful, people are dissatisfied but have to buy it, which is really helpless.

Shen Yuanyao waited for the person to leave, thinking back to the words that came out of the man's mouth, and anger rolled in his heart. Since Ji Wenqi dared to find her openly and said such a thing, it must be true. It's just that I don't know how much of what is true or how false it is, so I still have to find someone to ask.

As soon as my brain stopped, the feeling of an empty stomach instantly returned to my body, and the top priority was to fill my stomach.

After Shen Yuanyao finished eating, he first went to find the innkeeper's chatter. I learned about the customs and features in Yaozhou City, and then to which hospital in the city was the best.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and then said, "I think Jirentang is good, but the reputation of the Qin Clan's Medical Center has been increasing over time. ”

The innkeeper was a man with a peaceful face, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, and he looked very old, and he spoke slowly, and he didn't look as neat as other merchants.

But the words spoken by this kind of person are more convincing than those who speak exaggerated and exaggerated, at least Shen Yuanyao feels very comfortable talking to him.

"What's wrong with the Qin Clan's Medical Center, I also came here to seek medical treatment." Shen Yuanyao's eyes flashed, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to hesitate for so long and give such an answer.

It was in the name of going to the city to seek medical treatment for the seriously ill A-Niang that she came to ask the shopkeeper.

The innkeeper didn't want to say more to her, but he couldn't bear Shen Yuanyao's clever mouth, and it was possible that he saw her pitiful, so he said this relentingly.

"Jirentang is a century-old shop, and Qin's Medical Center has only appeared in the past two years, but its reputation is mixed." After the innkeeper finished speaking, he regretted that he didn't keep his mouth shut, and when he met Shen Yuanyao's confused eyes, he couldn't help but say more.

"The medicine is a good medicine, but it is sold at a sky-high price, and from time to time it can be known all over the city, and how many people can't afford to take medicine and can only wait for death at home." The shopkeeper sighed as he spoke.

He hadn't seen anything in all these years, he hadn't experienced anything. When he was also so sick that he couldn't afford to take medicine, he knew best what it was like to be longing to live and being persecuted by poverty.

The peaceful and calm eyes changed instantly, and the cloudy eyes carried a bit of unrecognizable vicissitudes, and they regained their calm in an instant.

"I'm distracted, hey, I'm getting old." The innkeeper smiled relaxedly.

Shen Yuanyao thought that he would not miss the vicissitudes of life, pretended to be ignorant and nodded, smiled and thanked the innkeeper and said goodbye, and ordered a few more dishes for Liu Anyi. Looking at this, Liu Anyi should also wake up, and I don't know how much to think about when I can't see myself.

Sure enough, as soon as she pushed the door and didn't enter, Liu Anyi ran over barefoot, the corners of her mouth curled higher than the sky.

Shen Yuanyao half-hugged Liu Anyi's soft body, and she always wondered why she felt that Liu Anyi was becoming more and more clingy.

"Why didn't you go to school?" Shen Yuanyao finally remembered this, she remembered that she had asked Aunt Liu to send him to school before leaving.

Liu Daniu and Shen Yuanyao have been in Yaozhou City, and there is no letter from Liuye Village, so the two naturally don't know. As for Qin Zhengkang, who sent Liu Anyi over, his identity is wrong, and Aunt Liu will not tell him.

Aunt Liu's original intention was to wait for Shen Yuanyao to go back and then say in detail, knowing that they had something to do in the city, plus Liu Anyi ran out of the house and encountered human traffickers halfway, Aunt Liu had to wait for her to come back and say it to her face.

The body in her arms stiffened suddenly, and she leaned back into her arms softly for a while, and whispered, "Master Liu doesn't want to accept me into the school." ”

"Why is that?" No wonder Liu Anyi is so clingy this time, Shen Yuanyao always feels weird.

With Liu Anyi's intelligence, why didn't Master Liu enter the school? There must be other reasons for this, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't know how to take care of children, she wouldn't be willing to send people to school.

"I don't know." Liu Anyi replied sullenly.

Liu Anyi said that she didn't know, so Aunt Liu should know, it seems that she still has to go back to Liuye Village to ask Aunt Liu.

Shen Yuanyao saw that he was not in a good mood, so he changed the topic again and again, only saying that he would let him eat and then go to the night market together. After a while, Liu Anyi put this matter behind him, and talked about where he was going.

When night fell, Shen Yuanyao took Liu Anyi out of the house, and specially asked the innkeeper where it was lively.

There are more people on the streets at night than during the day, the lights are dotted everywhere, the sound of yo is endless, and Liu Anyi is even more happy, unlike where to go this morning, but everywhere is not let go.

Shen Yuanyao followed closely behind him, afraid that he would be taken away by a small person, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

Liu Anyi squatted in front of a stall, waiting for the candy seller to draw a rabbit for him, and Shen Yuanyao watched from the side, holding a small money bag in his hand, waiting to give the money after the painting was completed.

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder, and when she turned around, she saw an aunt she didn't know, and the aunt was also confused, obviously the person who just patted her was not her.

It's just that there is no one behind her except this aunt, and she is puzzled, and she looks people up and down, but she can't see any problems.

When he turned back again, Liu Anyi, who was originally guarding in front of the stall, was gone, and he looked back and forth, and it was indeed gone.

"Where's that kid just now?" Shen Yuanyao roared in his head, and stepped forward to grab the old man who sold sugar paintings.

"I—I don't know." The old man who sold the sugar paintings was also frightened by this action, and stammered back, "He took the sugar paintings and left." ”

"In which direction?" Shen Yuanyao's eyes were eager.

"Over there, over there." The old man selling candy paintings pointed in the right direction.

It was a path derived from this street, and it was dark from here, and there was no light in sight, so Shen Yuanyao got an answer and ran directly there.

The crowd that had gathered in front of the sugar painting stall dispersed, and the old man who sold the sugar painting looked at the empty stall and sighed bitterly. I don't think I can do any business tonight, what's the matter?

With a quick movement, he cleaned up the things in the stall, bent his back, picked up his flat burden, and walked slowly towards a dark path.

The night was cold and windy, and the old man had just stepped into the side of the path with his front feet, and the things behind him were grabbed by others.

When I turned around, I saw Shen Yuanyao's expressionless face, the muscles of my face jumped, and finally relaxed, and I asked in a dumb voice, "Why hasn't the girl gone looking for someone." ”

"How do you know I didn't find anyone?" Shen Yuanyao raised his eyebrows, and after the strenuous exercise just now, his lungs were hot.

"Uncle, why don't you continue to do business?"

When she ran there, she felt unsteady and a little strange. Everyone is in a small business, handing over money with one hand and giving things with the other, but this old man didn't say anything when he saw people taking the candy and leaving, and he didn't chase after him for money.

All of these things are very strange, and with Liu Anyi's well-behaved, it is absolutely impossible to run around without her. So, either the old man is lying, or he is wrong.

and the aunt who patted her on the shoulder is probably also together, and the aunt is obviously not shopping, after all, she came by herself; It is impossible to buy it for the family servant, this kind of sugar is not long left, and it will melt if you hold it in your hand all the time; And adults' demand for this sweetness becomes smaller, and it is impossible to buy it and eat it themselves.

It seems that the man was trying to divert her attention and then sneak them away.

When she turned around and went back to the stall selling candy paintings, there was no one on the stall, and her pounding heart fell straight down.

There's something wrong with this old man!

Shen Yuanyao didn't look far away, so he walked to the kind of place close to the trail, and with that person's footsteps, he would definitely not be able to walk fast.

"The guests are scared away by you, how can you do business?" The old man looked sad and had blame in his eyes.

This old man is simply a living drama spirit, Shen Yuanyao was stunned, if he hadn't figured out the problem before, he would have been deceived by the person in front of him.

"Uncle, don't be sloppy with me again, I know that people are in your two bamboo baskets." Shen Yuanyao was too lazy to be false with him. In case she thinks wrong, every minute wasted will make Liu Anyi's danger one more point.

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the old man to react, she opened the bamboo basket.

The sleeping Liu Anyi curled up quietly in the bamboo basket, and Shen Yuanyao reached out to carry the person out. Suddenly, she was pushed from behind, and the whole person passed by the bamboo basket.

When she stood up straight with her hands on the floor, the aunt who patted her from behind her stood in front of her, holding the sleeping Liu Anyi in her arms, patting his back again and again with her palm, as if coaxing the child in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." ”
