Chapter 119 Who said she was not a citizen of Yan State
A quarter of an hour later, when Shen Ruolan had bandaged her wound, Wu Cheng came to her yard with the goods and shouted, "Miss Shen, we have delivered all the goods. Would you like to count them yourself?"
When Shen Ruolan heard Wu Cheng's voice, she quickly said to Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, help me out."
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he helped his master walk out the door.
Shen Ruolan came to the outside of the yard and looked at the piles of goods, which made her feel particularly at ease. She looked at Wu Cheng beside her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Guard Wu. Just ask everyone to move the things into the house."
"Yes, Miss Shen." After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he quickly asked everyone to move their things into the house.
An hour later, three hundred thousand kilograms of grain filled up several rooms of Shen Ruolan's house, and all the farm tools were piled up in the yard. Wu Cheng put down the last thing and said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, my master asked me to tell you that the Crown Prince of Yan is not much better than Xia Hongmiao. You should stay away from him."
Shen Ruolan smiled at Wu Cheng and said, "Tell your master your thanks for me. I will be careful."
"Yes, Miss Shen, you're fine. I'll take my leave now." After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he bowed to Shen Ruolan and left.
Shen Ruolan looked at Wu Cheng's back and said, "Guard Wu, take care."
After Wu Cheng left, Aunt Liu looked at the things in the yard and said to Shen Ruolan excitedly, "Master, with these grains, we will be able to eat for several years."
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "This little bit of food is not enough to fill everyone's stomach, but it's better than nothing."
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Aunt Liu exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked Shen Ruolan in disbelief, "Master, you don't want to distribute this food to the refugees, do you?"
Shen Ruolan looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Shen Ruolan said she would provide everyone with a meal, it was definitely not just talk. As long as there was a chance, she would find a way to earn food for everyone.
Aunt Liu quickly shook her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think you are too kind, Master."
Aunt Liu's words made Shen Ruolan smile silently. Is she kind? It seems not entirely true. She also has conditions for supporting everyone, but there is no need to explain these to them.
Outside the gate of Shen Ruolan's house, the villagers all knew that Shen Ruolan suddenly got a lot of food, which made them very envious. They all looked at her house eagerly.
Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said to Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, go call He Cai and Lu Kai back."
Ji Ning responded to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, Master."
After Ji Ning finished speaking, she hurried to the river.
Soon He Cai and Lu Kai came back and asked Shen Ruolan, "Master, Miss Shen, are you looking for us?"
Shen Ruolan said to He Cai and Lu Kai, "He Cai, Lu Kai, the two of you carry ten bags of grain and deliver them to Village Chief Wu. Tell him that this is the compensation given to everyone by the Third Prince of Xia a few days ago, and ask him to divide it equally among everyone."
Ten bags of food weighed about one thousand kilograms. Although each family did not get much, it was still much more than what the refugees under her had.
To be honest, it would be fine if she didn't share the food with them, but when she thought about how the villagers had been quite tolerant of her since she came to the village, and that she had indeed caused them a lot of trouble, it would be okay to share some of the food with them within her ability.
"Yes, master, Miss Shen." After He Cai and Lu Kai finished speaking, they hurriedly moved ten bags of grain out of the house, called the villagers outside the door, and carried the bags away.
At Village Chief Wu's home, the village chief's wife kept nagging him, "Old man, look at how much food Miss Shen got all at once. Go talk to her and ask her to lend us some."
Although Village Chief Wu envied Shen Ruolan's food, he still suppressed his desire and said to his wife, "How much food Miss Shen gets is her own ability. What are you talking nonsense about?"
The village chief's wife said, "Why am I talking nonsense? We are just going to borrow from her, not to pay her back."
After saying that, she pushed Village Chief Wu out and said, "Old man, just go over and take a look. Our family hasn't had any food for a long time."
Just when Village Chief Wu was struggling over whether he should go or not, He Cai came over with everyone carrying food and said, "Village Chief Wu, this is the food compensation from Xia Country. My master told you to divide it equally among everyone."
When the village chief's wife heard that Shen Ruolan had brought food, she asked excitedly, "Where is the food? Show me quickly."
After she finished speaking, she counted and saw that there were only ten bags. Although she felt a little regretful, she still said to He Cai happily, "Go back and thank your master for me. We have all received her kindness."
The regret in the eyes of the village chief's wife did not escape He Cai's eyes. He smiled and said to her, "Yes, I will go back and tell my master right away."
After saying this, he looked at Village Chief Wu and said meaningfully, "Village Chief Wu, although Xia Kingdom has compensated a lot of food, there are many refugees in Beiming, and the soldiers guarding the border often go hungry, so the food has basically been taken away by General Qin."
He Cai stopped talking without saying anything. He believed that the old village chief could understand what he meant.
Village Chief Wu naturally understood what He Cai meant. He bowed to He Cai and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen, for fighting for the welfare of the villagers in Nanfeng. I will divide it equally among them. I am optimistic about everyone."
After hearing what Village Chief Wu said, He Cai went back with Lu Kai satisfied.
Li Heng, who was in the house, saw the scene just now. He said to his master with a serious face: "Master, this Miss Shen is really not simple. She has a way to deal with both unarmed villagers and powerful people with guards. Fortunately, she is not a citizen of our Yan State, otherwise..."
Li Heng did not continue speaking. Although he felt that his thoughts were a bit exaggerated, judging from her actions, her intentions were definitely not simple.
After hearing what his subordinates said, Mu Jinxuan retracted his gaze and suddenly chuckled and said, "Who said she is not a citizen of Yan State?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his subordinates who were in a good mood and ordered: "Send someone to tell the Shen family in Medicine King Valley that there is a young lady from the Shen family with good medical skills at the border of Cangling City."
Although Mu Jinxuan couldn't find out Shen Ruolan's identity, he had a strong hunch that she was definitely related to the Shen family of Yaowang Valley.
After hearing what his master said, Li Heng hesitated for a moment and said to him with a troubled look on his face: "Master, this is not a good idea."
Although Shen Ruolan sometimes made people hate her to death, she did save her master, so he didn't want to hurt her unless she did anything excessive.
Besides, he still feels guilty for suddenly giving her a sword today, but he doesn't regret it. After all, his master is of noble status, how could she beat him?
