Chapter 180 Entering Linxiang City and Staying in a Foot Shop
His eyes were filled with love for his wife.
She has been busy all the way taking care of him and their son.
The medicine given to Xu Ximeng contained a sleeping ingredient. Due to what happened last night and the effect of the medicine, Xu Ximeng slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon, and she would reach Linxiang City in another half hour!
Feng Yuchen saw his mother wake up and carefully poured a bowl of warm water for Xu Ximeng.
"Mother, drink some water and the pain will go away!"
Xu Ximeng forced a smile on her pale face.
"It's causing trouble for everyone."
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all family, and family members should not have different opinions. Moreover, this is such a long journey of exile. We must work together and no one should be left behind!"
After saying that, he brought out a bowl of white porridge with some pickles.
"Sister-in-law, drink some porridge. I gave you two injections before, and I don't know how you feel."
"Yueyue, I feel much better!"
"Well, that's good! I just tested it and your fever has subsided. You just need to take some medicine and rest well, and you'll be fine."
Medical standards in ancient times were low, but colds and flu are considered minor illnesses in modern times.
Feng Hanyue had stockpiled a lot of western medicine in the space. She had given Xu Ximeng acupuncture before mainly to let her have a good rest. She had been very tired during this period and deserved a good rest.
Before we knew it, we arrived at Linxiang City.
At noon, I promised to let the three little ones eat prawns, ribs, and lamb chops, but because Xu Ximeng suddenly had a high fever, they missed it. She touched the three little ones' heads and said with a smile,
"Let's enjoy the dishes you ordered together in the evening! It's more joyful when we enjoy the food together."
"Uh-huh!"
The three little ones agreed in unison.
Linxiang City was different from the previous Yushan City, and they were soon allowed to enter the city.
But one thing is, they don’t provide post stations!
As for additional food and other supplies? Well, no!
They are still short of food in the city!
Every day, people had to line up at the grain store before dawn. Some even lined up the night before in order to buy grain early. Even so, they could not buy more than two kilograms of grain a day.
There are notices posted all over the city, limiting purchases!
The key point is that the price of food changes every day and is ridiculously expensive. Now the people in the city are suffering and have no way to express their grievances!
Suddenly, a group of people came into the city. When they saw that it was an exile, they couldn't hide the contempt in their eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
Feng Hanyue's right eyelid kept twitching, and she always felt that something big was about to happen.
After some trouble, the escorts found a cheap and affordable foot shop to stay in.
A foot shop is different from an inn. It is a small inn for people to rest temporarily, which is very suitable for their group.
If you don't want to spend too much money and will be leaving the next day after staying for one night, a hotel is the best choice.
It seems that these escorts are not useless except for extorting their money.
Of course, the escorts' expenses were shared equally among the six families!
Feng Hanyue and his group, as usual, asked for a few rooms upstairs to rest, and also asked for water to take a shower, wash up, etc.
"A bucket of water is 50 wen. I can help boil it for you."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but speak out.
"A bucket of water is 50 wen, waiter brother. Isn't that too expensive? This is no different from robbery."
"Auntie, what you said is too harsh! What do you mean by robbing? Go out and ask the inns. Who sells a bucket of water for 50 coins? Selling it to you for 100 coins is cheap. Only our boss is kind-hearted. Don't you know that now in the city, you have to go out and fetch water yourself? Only our store has a deep well, so we can sell water so cheaply. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have hot water. Not to mention boiling water for you. Isn't the firewood free?"
Nanny Zhao only said two sentences, but the waiter standing there had already retorted ten sentences.
When Uncle Fu saw this, he quickly pulled the waiter out, asked for six buckets of water, and smiled as he gave him 5 more cents.
When the waiter saw Qian Xiao, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"I can tell you're a reasonable person. This is the current situation in the city. Don't mind me. I'm telling the truth."
Feng Hanyue and others stayed in the store.
As soon as they settled in, they heard other customers in the store discussing something.
"Have you heard? The daughter of Lord Wang, the Lord of Linxiang City, has contracted a strange disease, and no famous doctor can cure it!"
"That's right. It's been so many days, and it looks like the patient is about to die."
"Oh, how pitiful!"
"However, the city lord also felt sorry for his daughter. He said that whoever healed his daughter would be given a large sum of money and 100 kilograms of food."
