Chapter 20 It Was My Husband

After listening to the scholar's narration, Shen Yuexi always felt a little strange.

If the notice is posted at midnight, it is very urgent.What is the origin of this bandit?
There were several layers of people in front of her, and she couldn't see the notice at all, and she felt a little uneasy.Thank you scholar, continue to push and squeeze forward.

Enduring the smell of sweat in the crowd, she dodged left and right, and finally came to the notice. She had just lifted the fence, and before she could raise her head, someone bumped into her from behind, and she staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, there was a woman standing next to her, who reached out to support her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Young lady squeezed over here in such a hurry." Seeing Shen Yuexi's hasty look, the woman winked at her clearly, "You also want to see the man on the notice?"

She thought that Shen Yuexi was also attracted by the person in the painting, so she rushed to the front in such a hurry.

Look at the few young ladies who are looking at the portraits in front of you, which one is not shy.

Shen Yuexi couldn't care less about answering her words, after thanking her, she hurriedly cast her eyes on the notice.

Looking at it, she almost stared out her eyes.

The man on the notice is as clear as the moon, extremely handsome.

This...isn't this Xiao Zhuo?

No wonder these people are talking about his appearance, but as for the crimes he committed, there are very few people paying attention.

Only one night later, Xiao Zhuo's portrait was posted in such a remote place.

Only now did she fully understand how terrible it was to be hunted down by the emperor.No matter where he fled, the hunt followed.No wonder Xiao Zhuo decided to flee to the bitter cold of the northwest frontier from the very beginning.If they stay in the pass, they will be caught and killed sooner or later.

"This bandit is handsome." The woman smiled and patted her. "Just look at it. This is a bandit arrested by the court. He will be caught and killed sooner or later. Did you see what was written on it? Those who provide clues will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

After finishing speaking, he smashed his hands and mouths, a hundred taels, if such a good thing happens to her, their family will not have to worry about food and clothing.

She looked at the little lady beside her, shook her head, and was attracted by the appearance of this bandit again.

Shen Yuexi's heart was beating fast, only Feng Zhang had seen Xiao Zhuo.

She cast her eyes on Feng Zhang who was enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree.

Although Xiao Zhuo saved him, if he is moved by Shangyin...

She didn't dare to think any further, she hastily withdrew from the crowd, and walked quickly back to the mule cart.Seeing her coming, Feng Zhang hurriedly waved and shouted: "Miss Pei, hurry up, it's our turn."

Shen Yuexi looked at Feng Zhang now, and she couldn't hide the vigilance in her eyes.Fortunately, with a fence on her head, outsiders couldn't see the momentary gaffe on her face.

"Brother Feng, let's go into the city." Trying to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, Shen Yuexi boarded the car and urged.

She lowered her eyelids, clasped her hands tightly, and stared at Feng Zhang's every move from moment to moment.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate checked and let them pass quickly.

Only then did she feel lucky that her portrait did not appear on the wanted notice.

After entering the city, Feng Zhang asked while driving forward:
"Miss Pei, is the government going to start arresting bandits? But it seems that the county magistrate said that this bandit is not from our place."

Shen Yuexi stared at him for a moment, confirming that he didn't know the arrest warrant posted on the wall, and then she relaxed a little.

However, I don't know what attitude he will have once he finds out that the person in the portrait is Xiao Zhuo.

Will he secretly report to the police without telling her?

Human nature is the most vulnerable, especially under pressure.

She dare not gamble.

"It seems so," she pulled her sleeves nonchalantly, and said in a perfunctory manner, "I couldn't squeeze in behind the crowd, and I didn't see clearly after all. Thinking that my husband still needs to be treated, I came out first .”

Although Xiao Zhuo's wanted notice was posted, Dr. You said that his arrow wound must be treated by a doctor, otherwise his life may be in danger.

Even if you take the risk, you have to ask a doctor who treats you.

After hearing this, Feng Zhang nodded in agreement, raised his hand, whipped the mule pulling the cart, and said in a relaxed tone, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, Mr. Pei's injury can't be delayed."

While talking, they had arrived at the market, so Shen Yuexi set up a stall with Feng Zhang to sell the tiger skins.

Two tiger skins, one big and one small, the big tiger skin was sold for 47 taels, and the small tiger skin was sold for 20 taels, for a total of 67 taels of silver.

Shen Yuexi thought at first that the sale was low, but the buyer said that the big tiger's skin had been poked in several places, leaking air everywhere, and the appearance was damaged. Whether it was made into a cloak or a robe, it needed to be mended, not to mention that the head was missing, otherwise it would be out of stock. higher price.She had to give up.

Feng Zhang handed all the money to her and said, "Miss Pei, it's all here."

Shen Yuexi counted, and took out 27 taels to Feng Zhang.This is what was agreed before, the tiger skin belongs to Feng Zhang.On this basis, she also gave Feng Zhang a fraction.

Feng Zhang refused: "Miss Pei, it's too much. Your husband killed the tiger, and you saved my life. What can you do with so much money from you?"

After a few times of evasion, Shen Yuexi didn't force it. She and Xiao Zhuo will still live in Feng's house during this period of time, so they just need to subsidize them more.

Give him the 20 taels of silver sold for the tiger skin, and he is not allowed to refuse again.

The two left the market, Shen Yuexi walked in front, Feng Zhang followed behind with a cart.

Passing by the Baohetang last night, Shen Yuexi glanced at the end of the alley, and there were quite a few people queuing up to seek medical treatment.She has 47 taels of silver in her hand, enough to pay for medical treatment.But when she thought of the doctor's arrogant face, she didn't go in, but walked back to the street and chose another one.

This pharmacy is on the main street, facing south and facing north, and its geographical location is much better than that of Baohetang.Just looking at the appearance is a higher grade than Baohetang."Yishengtang" is written in red lacquer on the black horizontal plaque at the main entrance.The smell of medicine in the house was very strong, and people came in and out with large and small bags of medicine from time to time, and the business was booming.

Shen Yuexi turned her head to greet Feng Zhang and said, "Brother Feng, you go in with me."

She doesn't dare to let Feng Zhang out of her sight now, if he accidentally finds out about Xiao Zhuo's affairs, it will be troublesome.

Feng Zhang was a little puzzled, scratched his head and said, "Miss Pei, I'm looking at the car outside, so I won't go in."

Shen Yuexi stood still and didn't move half a step, her slender hands tightly twisted the corners of her clothes, making a worried look: "Brother Feng, if you don't follow in, what if you meet the person who made things difficult for me last night again?" Do it, I am a weak woman..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Zhang had tied the mule cart to the stone pile at the entrance of Yisheng Hall.

"What Mrs. Pei said is that I didn't think thoroughly," he rolled up his sleeves as he walked, "I'll follow. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you again, I'll knock out his teeth."

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yuexi's mouth immediately, and he was relieved.

The two entered the pharmacy, and Shen Yuexi asked the clerk inside across the counter: "Is the doctor sitting in the hall here?"

Two young guys behind the counter, one tall and one short, were busy weighing and packing medicines for customers, and they were very busy.Among them, the tall one looked up at Shen Yuexi and asked, "Miss, is there a patient who needs treatment?"

"Exactly."

"The doctor is currently on a visit and is not in the hall." The tall boy shook his head.

Feng Zhang looked disappointed, and looked at Shen Yuexi: "Miss Pei, since the doctor is not here, let's look at another one."

Shen Yuexi was not reconciled, and asked, "Where is the doctor treating patients now?"

Before the tall guy could speak, the shorter guy rushed to answer: "I went to Old Li Tou in the south of the city. His son fell off the roof two weeks ago, and a vertical iron rod went into his thigh... "

When Shen Yuexi heard it, her heart moved, and she asked, "Your Doctor Hua is good at treating this kind of wound?"

"That's right," said the short boy while packing the medicine, "When it comes to treating wounds pierced by such a sharp weapon, if my doctor Hua should be number two, no one would dare to stand in front of him."

It seems that today is the right place and the right person.

Shen Yuexi asked about the location of Lao Litou's house, and hurried out of Yishengtang with Feng Zhang.

But when they stepped out of the door, two yamen servants with steel knives on their waists walked towards them.
