Chapter 137
"You dare to provoke my general! You are quite a thoughtful girl." Zhang Tongzhi turned to look at Mr. Han again, "What did you look at her just now?"
"No, absolutely not." Mr. Han couldn't admit it, so he took the lead and walked away.
Seeing that he didn't even turn around, Zhang Tongzhi lowered his head and said to Shen Lingzhu, "Deliver the goods."
"Ten taels." Shen Lingzhu carefully quoted a moderate price, quickly took the knife, turned around and put it back into the house, and whispered to Ren: "Seventh Aunt, did you just hear that? With two third and fourth rank gold coins as a backup, we will definitely be able to rescue Seventh Uncle."
The moment Ren nodded, Shen Lingzhu had already walked around the screen and went out.
Outside, Zhang Tongzhi had already chased Mr. Han away. His men asked, "Where's the wine?"
"Please follow me." Shen Lingzhu pulled his elder brother and asked him to go downstairs to the back row where his second grandfather lived to get it.
Shen Xianzhu wanted to say something to her, but he didn't open his mouth because there were outsiders present.
The two of them took out all twenty bamboo tubes wrapped in cotton quilts from the large wooden barrel. The half-awake, half-drunk Second Grandpa sat up instantly and asked, "Xianzhu, Xiaozhuzi, why are you taking them out in the middle of the night?"
"Brother Shen, this is a blessing from heaven." The old soldier Li who lived in the same room with him smiled and told what Shen Lingzhu said to the Tongzhi of Bingzhou Commandery and informed him.
Second Grandfather Shen Dexian didn't quite understand what he was saying, so Shen Xianzhu leaned over and whispered in his ear, "It's only 20 kilograms. We still have 10 kilograms left."
"Brother, help me." Shen Lingzhu couldn't hold too many people by herself.
Under the confused gaze of their second grandfather, the two siblings quickly made the deal with the Tongzhi's men. They didn't even mention the price, and the other party directly gave them ten taels of silver.
Not long after, the uncle came back and learned that his niece had sold 20 catties of wine for 10 liang. He could not help but sigh: "5 cents a catty, this price is not high.
The strong liquor in the capital costs four coins per jar, and Jinhua liquor costs three coins, which is about one or two coins per pound."
"You can adjust the price when you sell it to others later." She couldn't just offer Zhang Tongzhi one tael of silver and a bamboo tube, as that would make Chunchun uncomfortable.
After discussing with each other, they dispersed and went back to different rooms to rest.
However, before daybreak, Shen Lingzhu, who was staring at her seventh aunt, heard a series of footsteps in the corridor.
She sat up and found that her seventh aunt, who had drunk half a glass of wine before going to bed, was still sleeping soundly. She decisively got dressed and got out of bed.
The moment I opened the door, many people had already filed out of the hall downstairs.
She stood at the railing and glanced around again, and found that Mr. Han was coming down the stairs. He seemed to have noticed something and nodded to her as a goodbye.
When Shen Lingzhu raised her fist in return, she saw her elder brother squeeze through the people in black tights, greet Mr. Han and come up.
Unexpectedly, the latter handed Shen Xianzhu a jade pendant and asked them to bring it to the provincial government office to find him when they were sure they could not save the person.
After these people left, Shen Xianzhu went upstairs and gave her the fish-shaped jade pendant. "No wonder Second Sister always says that when you ask for help, you must ask those who have helped you before, not those you have helped yourself."
"Hahaha, because most of the time the people you help are not as good as you." Shen Lingzhu basically agreed with this.
Laughter aside, business is the important thing. "Brother, we are ready to go too."
"Hey, Grandpa Li just went to the kitchen to report for dinner. We set off after dinner. It was fifteen miles very fast." During this journey, Shen Xianzhu no longer had the previous anxiety on his face.
But after they had walked just five miles, they passed the post station and saw that it was surrounded and the smell of blood was carried by the morning breeze.
Ren lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Is there a search going on inside?" She had seen the government raid Xiao Zhuzi's house.
Shen Lingzhu: "I don't know." As soon as she finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers came running over, carrying the wounded: "Requisition your car to transport the wounded."
My uncle will handle this matter himself. This carriage with wine in it cannot be loaned out.
Shen Lingzhu looked around on the donkey's back. Every passing vehicle would be requisitioned to carry the wounded and send them to the city.
But my uncle's negotiations failed, and the officers and soldiers asked them to unload the things from the car.
"Seventh Aunt, please get off the car. We can't beat them." When Shen Lingzhu jumped off the donkey, several soldiers came running over to take over the van and the two carts behind it.
Seeing the soldiers with knives rushing towards her, Ren was a little scared. She grabbed Shen Lingzhu's hand and her legs and feet were weak when she got out of the car.
Da Huai and others who were waiting to unload things were too embarrassed to help when they saw her almost knocking Shen Lingzhu down.
Huang Zongqi regretted again not finding a strong woman to accompany him. Fortunately, Xiao Zhuzi had been doing horse stance with him recently, so she kept her lower body stable and did not fall. She also helped Ren to keep her steady.
"Xiao Zhuzi, are you okay?" Shen Xianzhu ran over from behind, pulled his sister away from his seventh aunt, and looked her up and down.
"No." Shen Lingzhu smiled embarrassedly at Aunt Seven.
Ren felt even more embarrassed. She hadn't thought herself to be so naive. A moment later, when she saw a wounded soldier covered in blood with his arm broken at a strange angle being carried in, she cried out "Ouch" and wanted to hide behind Xiao Zhuzi.
But at this moment, Shen Lingzhu grabbed a cloth bag that had been unloaded from the car and ran to the side of the car: "You can't hold him like this, it will make the injury worse."
The soldier who was about to hug the wounded man's upper body was startled and his hand was grabbed away by Shen Lingzhu.
She added: "Put the door panel on the ground. I'll fix his arm first."
"We have studied medicine." Shen Xianzhu also chased over and said to the glaring soldiers.
When the military doctor came to their home to learn bandaging a few days ago, he and Xiao Zhuzi were forced by their second sister to study.
Not only were their parents happy to see this happen, they also cooperated by creating fake injured people for them to practice on.
Every time, the little bamboo is the one that is bandaged quickly and well.
How could he know that Shen Lingzhu had already learned and practiced these things in another world? Alas, who made her a sports student who got injured during training like a daily routine?
So at this moment, Shen Lingzhu had already taken out a triangular bandage, medicine powder and a pair of scissors from the first aid kit prepared by his senior sister.
When the soldiers saw that she had really taken out the medicine, they looked at each other and lowered the door panel. Then they saw the little girl kneeling beside the wounded man, cutting open his sleeve with scissors, and saying, "Brother, quickly bring me the healing wine that my second sister made."
"Right away." Shen Xianzhu turned around, and his uncle and second grandfather came over quickly: "What's going on?"
"Saving people." Shen Xianzhu didn't have time to say more and ran to get the medicinal wine that his second sister had distilled with liquor.
After a while, he and Xiao Zhuzi dealt with the wounded quickly and simply, and his uncle and others were amazed.
Seeing that they handled the case more efficiently than the doctors, the soldiers went back and brought another wounded man for the brother and sister to treat.
So, it didn't take long for Shen Lingzhu and his elder brother to become special first aid workers, and the soldiers moved the wounded here.
However, there were limited triangular bandages and alcohol, so Shen Lingzhu unceremoniously asked the soldiers to find white cloth and strong liquor.
Both of these items were in the post station, and since the things inside were not allowed to be moved for the time being, the soldiers went to report to Zhang Tongzhi.
Hearing that someone was outside helping with the rescue, Zhang Tongzhi asked someone to take the things and send them over without saying a word. Out of curiosity, he followed out to see, and it turned out to be an acquaintance!
