Chapter 192 Rescued
The original owner of the house moved in a hurry and left behind a lot of furniture. Ji Anyu picked up the fan in the woodshed and carefully fanned the stove.
"Madam, please go and have a rest. I'll do these chores." Han Yan wanted to cook, but saw Ji Anyu cooking medicine, so she hurried forward and snatched the fan from Ji Anyu's hand.
Ji Anyu turned around and saw that Han Yan's clean clothes had become dusty.
"I'm just fanning you. It's no problem. You guys must have worked hard. I'll personally select a few servants to come back and help you tomorrow."
"Madam, I am a laborer. I have done all these jobs. It is not hard."
Han Yan raised her smiling face and said, "Since I have been with Madam, I have seen a lot of things in the world. If you think about it carefully, I have the advantage."
As she spoke, she snatched the work from Ji Anyu's hands without leaving a trace.
Ji Anyu smiled helplessly and decided to get more people tomorrow.
The next day, Ji Anyu took Qing Wu out. She did not go to the human market, but to the city closest to Yunrong. She heard that there were many refugees there.
Ji Anyu saw several young ladies and gentlemen selling their bodies to bury their parents. She picked out the ones with clean eyes and went to look for the young man who had lost his parents.
Suddenly a woman holding a child rushed to her feet and said, "Madam, I am willing to sell myself as a slave with my son, and I only ask you to give me some food."
As soon as he finished speaking, some women and children gathered around.
Ji Anyu looked around and said calmly, "I don't accept useless people."
"Madam, I can work. Don't look at me as skinny now. I am very strong after eating. My children can also help with the work."
Ji Anyu said in an imposing manner, "The most important thing for you to be my man is loyalty. If you make a mistake, you will be beaten. If you betray me, I will not show mercy but send you directly to the government. Do you still want to do this?"
The women looked at each other, some had already given up and were not so enthusiastic about Ji Anyu, while others were still waiting and watching.
Ji Anyu gave Qing Wu a look, and Qing Wu understood and took out his knife, cutting through the wood on the roadside in one go, scaring everyone so much that they took a step back.
Ji Anyu glanced at them coldly and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a few faint voices saying that they were willing to go with her.
She looked back and saw that the woman who responded to her looked very weak, but her eyes were full of light.
"Qingwu, take them back."
"Yes."
They brought back so many people at once that the food they cooked was not enough to eat, so Ji Anyu asked Hanyan and Qiaoxin to buy some steamed buns.
When the women and children saw the white rice and flour on the table, they all swallowed their saliva but did not dare to eat. They only started to eat when they heard Ji Anyu calling them to eat.
Ji Anyu nodded with satisfaction. If these people were well taken care of, they would be of great use. Her situation was special. If she kept evil-minded people around her, it would undoubtedly be like inviting a wolf into the house. Even if she wanted to drive them away, it would take a lot of effort.
After they finished their meal, Ji Anyu spoke slowly.
"Follow me, I will not treat you unfairly. There is a rule in my house that things in the house cannot be told to outsiders. From now on, in addition to eating and working, you also need to learn some martial arts. I will ask someone to teach you."
Ji Anyu paused for a moment and added, "I will also find someone to teach you how to read and write." Reading can help people understand reason and distinguish right from wrong.
The women with children were very happy to hear this. Originally, they just wanted to have enough food to eat, and they dared not think about their children's education. But in this difficult world, they have no money and cannot let their children go to school at all.
They pulled the children to their knees and kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam."
Ji Anyu helped them up and said, "Have a good rest today. The doctor will come to check on you later."
They said happily, "We will never forget Madam's great kindness!"...
At this moment, Shen Jing woke up lying on the shabby bed. He looked ahead with blurred vision and had to blink his eyes to see clearly what was in front of him.
"you're awake."
Shen Jing listened to the familiar voice and turned his head with difficulty. He saw Wei Songlin lying on the bed, half of his body was wrapped in white cloth, and his face was also wrapped in white cloth, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.
Wei Songlin seemed not to notice the mockery in Shen Jing's eyes, he just kept talking to himself.
"I woke up two days ago. The wounds on my body were infected and rotten. I had a fever and my brain was burning. The doctor used a knife to cut off the rotten flesh. Fortunately, I was able to survive."
Wei Songlin didn't know how to describe the suffering he was going through at the moment. He had just recovered from the wound caused by Ji Anyu, and now he had to continue recovering. He couldn't bear the dietary restrictions.
Shen Jing felt his throat dry, swallowed, looked at Wei Songlin and asked, "Who saved us?"
"A fishing boatman."
The door curtain was suddenly lifted, "Master, it's time to take your medicine."
Shen Jing was surprised to see Tang Mian here as well, "Why is she here?"
He couldn't help but suspect that he had arrived at Wei Songlin's territory, but unfortunately he was in pain all over and couldn't move for the time being.
When he and Wei Songlin fell to the bottom of the valley, he was angry that Wei Songlin insisted on pulling him up. When he was about to reach the surface of the water, he deliberately turned around and cushioned Wei Songlin under him.
Wei Songlin ignored Shen Jing's question and looked at Shen Jing with dissatisfaction.
"Why? Shen Jing, you and I are both injured, why is my wound infected and rotten, but you are fine? Why is God so kind to you?"
He tried hard to live, thinking that he could earn a place in the Wei family through his own abilities, but in the end, everything was in vain, and the Wei family wished he would die outside.
"Shen Jing, do you know how lucky you are? How great it would have been if I had been born in your mother's womb. Although your father was gone, the Prince Zhong's Mansion fought hard to protect you. I guess they should be looking for you now, and I... was abandoned by the Wei family."
Shen Jing stared at Wei Songlin with calm eyes, "You are jealous of me."
Wei Songlin's face, which was filled with anger and sadness, cracked again and again. When he heard Shen Jing's next words, his face finally stopped cracking.
"Although the Wei family abandoned you like a worn-out shoe, the people you raised never left you, just like her."
Wei Songlin raised his eyes to look at Tang Mian, who was holding the medicine and didn't know whether he should avoid suspicion and not listen. The coldness in his eyes turned warm, and then he smiled sinisterly with a hint of gloating.
"Shen Jing, your beloved wife has announced to the public that you are dead. When she heard that Ji Anyu did not return to the capital, she was unwilling to even bring your clothes and hat back to the capital for burial. It is true that husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When the end comes, they fly away separately. The Queen Mother has even ordered you to wear mourning clothes for seven days."
Shen Jing was slightly stunned. Ji Anyu actually believed that he was dead? At least find his body and then announce his death to the public.
He was silent for a moment, and then denied the idea of Ji Anyu abandoning him.
"My wife is different from others. She must have her own reasons."
Wei Songlin was stunned after hearing Shen Jing's words, "Shen Jing, do you trust her so much?"
As soon as he heard someone leaving, he thought that the other person had abandoned him without thinking twice. Shen Jing's words made him reflect. He silently took the medicine from Tang Mian, and drank it with his head raised in pain.
