Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 79 The imperial court wants to recruit troops

When Chen Changli asked, the murderous intention in his eyes was real.

The man was just an ordinary person. How could he dare to face his murderous intention? At that time, he was so frightened that his whole body became weak and his voice trembled: "This...this is what everyone is talking about. I don't know how everyone suddenly knew it." This issue."

Hearing these words, Chen Changli's heart fluctuated, and he immediately took a step back and let him go, "The situation in the southwest boundary may be worse than that in Yangzhou. You should leave as soon as possible."

After saying this, Chen Changli went home with a heavy heart.

Wan Shufang was already waiting at the door of her home.

Seeing him coming back, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

While asking, she looked at Chen Changli. The nervous look on her face seemed to be that she was afraid of finding another injury on his body.

Chen Changli was originally thinking about the loss of relief food. When he heard Wan Shufang's concerned words, he said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, everything is fine."

After laughing, he said: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"The refugee issue is not as important as it is. You should pursue me and say sorry to me for whatever you do." Wan Shufang immediately rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not someone who doesn't understand anything. Don't underestimate me."

After she finished speaking, she asked: "How is it? Have you found out anything?"

"The relief food has been lost, and this matter has spread among the refugees." Chen Changli looked slightly angry, "I don't know how the imperial envoy did the disaster relief, but even lost all the food. Why didn't others throw it away? ah?"

"Listening to what you said, why do I think this is a bit weird?" Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Shouldn't those who can be sent by the court to provide disaster relief should control the disaster and appease the people as soon as possible? This Why would you, sir, do the opposite? Aren't you afraid of chaos in the world?"

Chen Changli's face turned cold: "Who knows what kind of water got into his brain?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Wan Shufang quickly grabbed him and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Where do you want to go again?"

Chen Changli quickly replied: "I want to go to town to see the situation."

Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's getting late now. You can go there tomorrow. It just so happens that tomorrow the villagers will carry pork and medicinal materials to the town to sell."

She was worried that Chen Changli would not listen to what she said, so she added: "You have been tired for a few days and need a good rest. Besides, you are also injured. If your injuries are not treated, they may get worse."

After saying that, she pulled him into the room, took out the prepared golden sore medicine and applied it to him.

Seeing that she was so concerned about his injury, Chen Changli had no choice but to listen to her and stay at home in order to prevent her from worrying about him anymore.

In a blink of an eye, the next day came. He got up early and helped the villagers put the pork and medicinal materials into the basket. He took the basket from Wan Shufang and put it on himself, and then followed the villagers to the town.

Wan Shufang followed him closely, her eyes scanning him from time to time.

After taking the medicine yesterday, Chen Changli looked worried all the time. He must have been worried about the food for disaster relief.

She was also a little worried. After all, the news about the lack of food had spread among the refugees. If some people spread some unfavorable news to the court, the world might be completely in chaos.

It's just that no matter how much she worries, seeing that Chen Changli is worried about this matter, she can't express her thoughts and let him worry.

She kept the matter in her heart and couldn't sleep all night.

Now that she was going to town with Chen Changli, Wan Shufang couldn't help but think wildly.

"Daughter-in-law, you are worried about the situation in the town." Chen Changli stretched out his hand to hold Wan Shufang, and lowered his voice so that only she could hear it.

Wan Shufang trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Aren't you worried?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously glanced at the hand held by Chen Changli.

His big palms wrapped around his small hands, like a net that suddenly spread out and captured her heart tightly.

Her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes glanced at the others.

Seeing that they were all concentrating on their way and not looking at the couple, although she blushed extremely, she did not pull her hand back after all.

"You didn't sleep all night yesterday, so I think you have a lot of things on your mind." Wan Shufang also lowered her voice, "When you went to town today, you didn't look very good. I knew you were worried about the town. The situation is not good, and to be honest, neither am I.”

"But I have made an agreement with the drugstore shopkeeper, and he has given me a promise. I believe we will not be disappointed when we go to town this time."

After saying this, she held Chen Changli's hand and tried to comfort him with the warmth of her hand.

Chen Changli noticed the force coming from her hand and guessed her thoughts. He immediately looked at her affectionately and raised a faint and disturbing smile at the corner of his mouth.

Wan Shufang's face was burning, and then she quickly turned her face to the other side in order to prevent Chen Changli from seeing anything.

"I know you are also worried about something. After all, you couldn't sleep last night." Chen Changli said with a rich smile, "When we come back from town today, you and I will have to have a good rest."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wan Shufang couldn't help but think about the word rest in his mouth.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, but her cheeks turned even redder, and she quickly withdrew her hand, walking alone on the other side.

Chen Changli looked at her with gentle eyes and then looked away, touching his nose unconsciously.

He really just wanted Wan Shufang to have a good rest after going home today, and had absolutely no other intentions.

Wan Shufang thought a lot, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only pretend not to notice anything and hurried on silently.

After an hour, the group of them arrived in the town.

After returning to the town after a few days' absence, Chen Changli found that compared with last time, there were many more refugees in the town this time.

These refugees were walking on the streets as if they were starving, and some tall men were so frightened that they hurried home and did not dare to come out again.

"Let's sell the pork to the restaurant first and then go to the pharmacy." Wan Shufang was so shocked that her heart beat wildly when she noticed that the refugees were looking over at them, their longing and obscure eyes like hungry wolves staring at their prey.

She quickly took the villagers to a restaurant that was still open in the town to sell the pork, and then went to the medicine shop.

After collecting the medicinal materials, the medicine shop owner said, "Madam, we are going to Liangcheng with the medicinal materials in three days. As for the medicine shops in this town, we have decided to close them."

The medicine shop owner looked very uncomfortable when he said this, but he had to continue speaking: "The contract between us is over. If we have a chance to meet again in the future, I am still willing to do medicinal materials business with you."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Wan Shufang didn't feel disappointed. After all, the situation in the town was getting worse and worse. If the shopkeeper could persist until this point, he was already fulfilling his promise to her.

She readily accepted the shopkeeper's words, and then wanted to ask him why he wanted to go to Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, a man dressed as a waiter hurried in.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good. The court is going to raise taxes and recruit troops. The refugees and townspeople are panicking. We have to leave here quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave until the town gate is closed."
