After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 21 Bodhisattva Female Medical Immortal

When Ke Yiqing returned with a sense of loss, she fell asleep again. When she woke up early the next morning, she was still unconscious.

Li is strong and strong, and he has already recovered after a few days of rest.

I heard that she was coming back from the Liyuan, so I got up early and came here.

"Madam, how is Master Yan?"

When she heard this man's name, she felt a pain in her heart, but she forced herself to ignore the discomfort and replied: "He was poisoned, and he is well now. You can rest assured."

Li was relieved now, and the two chatted for a few words and soon got down to business.

"I think some of the shops Madam has chosen are good, but I still have to go and see them in person."

"That's fine. You will be running this shop when the time comes, so naturally you have to take a good look at it."

Li Wei was stunned, "Madam, are you willing to let me be the shopkeeper?" He was really flattered, and he didn't expect to receive such an important appointment.

Seeing the stupid look on his face, Ke Yiqing felt much better, "Don't belittle yourself. You are capable. Don't talk about the shopkeeper of a small food shop. There are many shops in the back, and you can be considered half of the owner."

Li Wei's eyes became firm, "If Madam is willing to believe me, then I will definitely live up to Madam's trust!"

"Very good, let's go out and look at the shop today."

But Ke Yiqing was interrupted again, "The person Madam asked me to investigate some time ago has now been identified."

She paused and asked, "Is there any progress?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Li Wei didn't hide anything and told everything truthfully.

The person Ke Yiqing asked him to check was Zi Xing's sister, but her sister's identity was obscure. When he checked before, she was vague, and those people had trouble checking. They only knew that she went to a brothel and was sold to a ship as a geisha. , and was later bought as a concubine by a merchant.

But who bought it, where it is now, and how it is doing are all unknown.

Every time she saw Zi Xing's eyes darkening, she felt worried.

"You mean, the merchant's wife drove her away and she is now living among the refugees on the outskirts of the city?"

"That's right. There is an old acquaintance of mine among the refugees. When I rushed to help him, I overheard that. After questioning, I found out that he was right."

Ke Yiqing was stunned and knew that this little girl was probably in danger.

"Okay, let's go to the outskirts of the city first. Don't let Zi Xing know about this first."

The door was pushed open with a crash, and Zi Xing walked out with tears on his face, "I want to go!"

While Yu Jin felt distressed, she was also startled, thinking that this little girl was walking more and more silently.

Ke Yiqing knew that Zi Xing had a stubborn temper, so he had no choice but to agree to her.

Without further ado, the group set off quickly.

Passing by a certain grain merchant's shop, several women were talking there.

A woman with a face full of pain said: "Oh, the price of new rice has increased again this year. I heard it is 650 yuan per stone, but old rice is still [-] yuan."

Another woman who was better dressed didn't take it seriously, "As for my family, the Chen rice was sent from the Jiangnan area last year. There is already a lot of moisture in that place, and it rained a while ago, so it's probably going to be damp. ”

The woman from before also hesitated when she heard this, "Then it's better to buy new rice seriously. How can you eat it if it's moldy?"

"Who said no?"

Several women walked past their carriage, chatting and laughing.

Li Wei and Ke Yiqing had completely different reactions to these words.

Li Wei said worriedly: "Madam, although I bought cheap new rice from rice merchants on the road, the food in our village is still mainly old rice. What should we do?"

Ke Yiqing smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Madam has her own sales. Come back and ask for me. Do these grain merchants have any old rice to deal with? Just sell it to me at a low price."

"This is too risky, madam, please be careful!" She waved her hand, "I still have about 2 taels in hand. I plan to finish the shop and use the rest to buy medicinal materials and food."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Wei had no choice but to sigh and stop persuading her.

Zi Xing tugged on her sleeves worriedly, "Are you going to run out of money?"

Seeing her puzzled eyes, the little girl lowered her voice and said, "It's okay if I drink less milk."

Ke Yiqing laughed, "You, after drinking so much milk, you have grown a little bit. If you stop, you will become a dwarf and you won't be a hero!"

Upon hearing that he would become a dwarf, Zi Xing was immediately horrified and never mentioned the matter of not drinking milk.

Under her careful feeding these days, the little girl has been raised to be tender and tender. Not only is she a head taller, she also has more flesh on her cheeks, her hair is black and beautiful, and she does not look like the thin little beggar she once was.

But after leaving the city gate and seeing the refugees dying of hunger everywhere, Ke Yiqing still felt heavy.

Li Wei jumped off the carriage and found his old acquaintance, and through his old acquaintance, he found out about an old woman who had taken care of Zi Xing's sister.

To everyone's surprise, the old woman seemed to be in good spirits and even neatly dressed.

"Old man, do you recognize Ziyu?"

The old woman probably suffered a crime when she was young. Her ears couldn't hear well and her eyes couldn't understand clearly. She turned a deaf ear to several people's questions.

Zi Xing became anxious and jumped in front of the old woman to make gestures.

It took a while before the old lady noticed her, grinned and said, "You look just like Xiaoyu."

Ke Yiqing was delighted when he heard this and quickly asked, "Where is Xiaoyu now?"

"Haha, haha." The old woman ignored her and laughed cheerfully alone.

Seeing the helpless look of a group of people, the aunt selling steamed buns nearby couldn't stand it anymore, "You can't ask me anything."

"Why is this?"

The aunt sighed: "She is a poor person. She had a daughter before, who is about the same age as the little girl next to my wife, but her husband is a gambler. He will sell his wife and daughter when he loses all his family property."

"and after?"

"Later? Of course the old woman didn't want to, so her man beat her into such a stupid state, and her daughter was tortured to death in that dirty place. I guess God opened her eyes, and her man was missed by someone from the casino a few years ago. It’s gone.”

I heard from the aunt that the old woman would be conscious occasionally, and Xiaoyu was the one who picked it up and fed her a few mouthfuls of rotten rice when she was conscious, and luckily she survived.

Speaking of this, the aunt also lamented, "That little girl is also very pitiful. I heard that she was divorced by her husband's family. The eldest brother is also a powerful character. He calls for people to come and beat her every now and then. Several times, everyone is dead."

Zi Xing didn't dare to ask anymore. She squatted on the ground and sobbed softly, unwilling to speak several times.

Ke Yiqing also knew the pain in her heart, so he asked for her: "What about Xiaoyu now..."

These words made the aunt wary, "Who are you to her?"

Li Wei explained, "This is my wife. Xiaoyu may be my lost distant relative. Don't get me wrong, auntie. We are not looking for her to harm her."

The aunt looked over the group of people from beginning to end, and saw that Zi Xing's appearance was somewhat similar to Xiao Yu's, so she believed it.

"She doesn't recognize the person she used to be now."

It turned out that it was due to repeated beatings. When Xiaoyu was picked up by the old woman, she had a high fever again. When she got over it, she couldn't even remember what happened before.

"Fortunately, my brain is not broken. I recently went to the doctor for help, and the big brother who killed me a thousand times didn't dare to do anything anymore."

Inquiring about the doctor's residence from the aunt's mouth, several people hurried over.

I also learned intermittently on the way that it turned out that this doctor had a high status in the hearts of the refugees. He not only had superb medical skills, but also had a kind heart. He often delivered meals and medicines for free. Therefore, when the doctor heard that Xiaoyu was at her place, he did not dare to fight again.

Ke Yiqing touched the little girl's head and said comfortingly: "It sounds like she is a female Bodhisattva. Your sister will be fine with her."
