Chapter 37: Xishikou goes to the appointment

Zhang Zhishu guarded Han Zhen inch by inch.

"In a hundred years of life, no matter what terrible things happen, as long as people are alive, there is still hope for everything, and I will definitely protect you from now on, don't be afraid."

"Dirty ......"

As soon as the tongue coating was connected, Han Zhen's words were slurred.

But from her painful expression, Zhang Zhishu could clearly realize what she was talking about, and her heart suddenly hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

"Don't talk nonsense! You are innocent. Zhang Zhishu got up, took a sweat towel, put her hand into the barrel, pulled Han Zhen's arm and began to scrub.

"I'll help you wash it, it's clean after washing, our little Zhenzhen is the strongest, we must survive, Xiao Zhenzhen won't be defeated, right!"

Yes...... Han Zhen closed her eyes in despair.

For several days in a row, Han Zhen hid in the house, day and night, only lying in bed every day, her eyes were empty, and she couldn't listen to anyone she said.

Zhang Zhishu didn't dare to leave a single step, and even released the Jade Tiger and the two tigers to keep vigil in turn at night, as long as the little person on the bed had any movement, he would wake up immediately.

Han Zhen was very quiet, she didn't look for death or life, and she didn't cry, she just behaved like a marionette, eating when she was called to eat, and drinking water when she drank water.

"If it goes on like this, it's too much for me to be depressed, and my body can't stand it."

Zhang Zhishu was pale blue at the moment, and she had to take care of Han Zhen and Han Yan's injuries for several days, and she barely closed her eyes.

"Come on, you've worked hard for days, go get some sleep."

Han Yan took the medicine bowl from Zhang Zhishu's hand, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his hands were covered with calluses, and the phalanges of both palms were even a little twisted and deformed, and when the palm touched her skin, it was like a faint electric current flowing through her whole body instantly.

Zhang Zhishu was inexplicable, and quickly hid her hand behind her back.

"No, since you take care of Zhenzhen, I'll go to the West Market, I made an appointment with someone a few days ago."

"Hmm." Han Yan didn't ask much, but just lightly instructed: "The clouds and dragons in the West City are mixed, be careful." ”

Zhang Zhishu was about to leave, but Han Yu jumped out of nowhere and stubbornly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Want to come with me?"

Han Yu nodded, the intent in his eyes was obvious.

"Okay, let's go together."

Don't you worry about her going to see Gu Changheng! Zhang Zhishu was not afraid of shadow evil, and she didn't take Han Yu's careful thinking seriously at all.

When the uncle and sister-in-law came to the market, Gu Changheng and Jiading had been waiting at the entrance of the West Market for a long time.

"Mrs. Zhang, you're finally here, the villain still thinks you're not coming!"

Gu Zhongxin is straightforward and fast-talking, and after waiting for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be impetuous, and after the disaster, trade has just resumed, and there are many poor people who come to Xishikou to sell their children and daughters, and they feel uncomfortable when they see it.

"The next appointment date is set, and I will come to the appointment rain or shine."

The cold and indifferent gaze swept over the children who were begging to be sold by their parents, and the unbearable in their hearts was not shown on their faces, Zhang Zhishu's cold eyebrows and eyes were not shocked.

Gu Zhong looked at it and shouted cold-blooded in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Changheng hurriedly stopped him, and eagerly led Zhang Zhishu to the teahouse on the side.

"The family is unobstructed, Mrs. Zhang is not strange, please come here."

"Trade is back in town?"

"The day before yesterday, the government issued an approval, most of the shops in the town have opened their doors to do business, and those who fled the famine have also come back one after another, until the beginning of spring next year, the government will distribute disaster relief food every day, and it is said that there is still a batch of winter quilts and cotton clothes on the road, and it should be able to arrive before the heavy snow closes the mountain."

The geographical conditions of the West Plains are special, surrounded by the Maoerling Mountains on all sides, and there is no trade when the mountain roads are blocked by heavy snow in the past.

But this year, Zhang Zhishu wants to seek wealth in danger.

The second junior in the teahouse was a thin boy of twelve or thirteen years old, Gu Changheng looked at Miansheng, but he was wearing a wide robe that obviously did not fit, like the one worn by the previous shopkeeper.

In the past, Gu Changheng's camel team often frequented the teahouse, as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, and after a period of greetings, the new shopkeeper led Zhang Zhishu and others upstairs.

Gu Zhong stayed behind and chatted with the shopkeeper Cao, and he pointed to the new shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you use the previous little brother, he is so clever, he can greet people, and he makes good tea, this look at the hands are very raw, and the tea stove is not stable."

"No, at the beginning of the year, I fled with my whole family, but they all died in the middle of the road, and even the bones were seen by my fellow villagers who were passing by, so I kindly helped dig a pit and buried it on the side of the road."

The shopkeeper Cao couldn't help but sigh and cry, and pointed to the new shopkeeper and said: "The world is not good, people are cheap, this child is from the north to flee the famine, the family is dead, he sold himself to me, just for food and clothing to find a place to stay." ”

Gu Zhong's eyes couldn't help but red when he heard this, he sniffed, and said to the shopkeeper Cao sincerely: "You are always a kind-hearted person, and he is safe when he comes to your teahouse, so you can still give my boss his three favorite snacks and a pot of tea, can you make it up?" ”

"Yes, yes, but now the price has risen a lot......"

"It's okay, the shortage of materials can be understood." Gu Zhong took out a few copper coins from his arms.

He begged his father and grandmother to get a short-term job in the government office, and he carried relief food day and night, in exchange for these copper coins.

Gu Zhong stuffed it into the hand of the shopkeeper Cao, and said with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper, if it is not enough, you can take credit first, and when our owner supports the caravan, it will definitely be repaid ten times as much!" ”

Shopkeeper Cao flipped the pitiful few copper plates in his hand, he had also heard of it in Gujia Village, and he also had some sympathy and admiration for Gu Changheng in his heart.

"Where did the little brothers say, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Gu Dongjia is only temporarily down, and he will be able to make a comeback in the future! Today's tea is what I invited! ”

Shopkeeper Cao spoke brightly, but he quickly put the copper plate into his arms.

A moment later, in the private room on the second floor, the new shopkeeper was holding a teapot, and the shopkeeper Cao was personally holding the dim sum.

"How can you let Shopkeeper Cao come in person, Gu Zhong, don't hurry up."

Gu Changheng is also a delicate businessman, not only is the scene beautiful, but the smile on his face is even more warm.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, in Dawei, the businessman is the last stream, and the shopkeeper Cao has a sense of warmth for Gu Changheng in addition to appreciation.

He stretched out a friendly smile, and while pushing Gu Zhong away to put the snacks on the table in person, he joked: "Gu Dongjia shouldn't think I'm serving me roughly, right?" Hurry up and wait for me to buy a few female slaves, and then let the female slaves come to serve, and use my old bones for the time being! ”

"Then it's better not to buy Xiyi, as we all know, Xiyi women are fierce and not easy to train."

Gu Zhong's tone made Zhang Zhishu frown.
