Chapter 81 Manager Ye of the Yuanyuan Stone Boat

As the shopkeeper of the Mi Yuan Shi Fang shop looked at the girl in front of him trying so hard to control her expression, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He knew that Ye Jingyi's secret code was meant to make fun of him. Even a girl would find it ridiculous that she would use that phrase as a code.

The shopkeeper's expression was comical. He took a few deep breaths, sighed, and opened his mouth, saying, "One pot, one hammer, and I'll travel the world."

"Hehe, hahaha..."

"Hehehe, cough..."

"Hehe... Haha..."

Wenwen couldn't hold back any longer and burst into loud laughter.

Wei Shi, Wen Chengjian, and Wen Chengbin, who were standing nearby, had been finding it strange ever since Wenwen and the shopkeeper started circling around. Even though they understood the meaning of the seemingly nonsensical conversation, they couldn't quite put it together. They wanted to laugh but dared not, so they just held it in and didn't dare to disturb them. Ye Shi had mentioned it before they left, so they just listened.

At this moment, Wenwen laughed, and they laughed out loud as well.

The shopkeeper looked at the group and laughed. Using a childhood joke as a code was something Ye Jingyi was capable of.

The owner of Miyuan Stone Boat, whose real name is Ye Jingchuan, is Ye's younger brother. When he was a few years old, he happened to become a disciple of a master to learn medicine. He just returned recently and just got in touch with Ye. Unfortunately, before they could meet, the Wen family suffered a misfortune, so the two siblings have not seen each other for more than ten years.

Manager Ye looked at the people in front of him and had some guesses, especially after seeing Wen Chengbin's face. However, the timing was not right, so he decided not to acknowledge them for the time being to avoid any complications.

Wenwen laughed for a while before finally stopping. She remembered her second aunt's instructions, especially the last sentence: if it matched, then she had found the right person.

"Shopkeeper, I'm so sorry, I was rude."

"It's alright, why don't you all move to the back room and sit for a while?"

......

The back room of Manager Ye was no different from the front room, with stones everywhere you looked.

Wenwen's first thought was that this person had an extremely deep friendship with Shi Tou and probably spent his whole life wandering around in pursuit of Shi Tou.

Although Manager Ye had some suspicions, he could only pretend to be confused. "What business do you gentlemen have with me? What is your relationship with Ye Jingyi?"

As the elder of the group, Wei was the first to step forward. "Shopkeeper, we are from the Wen family. Ye Jingyi is my second sister-in-law. Our family has just arrived in Yanta Town and urgently needs a good doctor. She suggested that we come to you, shopkeeper, hoping you can recommend a good doctor. Shopkeeper, could you please make an exception for us?"

Wenwen also took out a piece of broken tile at the right time, saying, "My second aunt asked me to give this to you."

Since the Wen family was sentenced to exile, the news spread like wildfire throughout the land within three days. It has been the talk of the town of Yanta these past few days, and Ye Jingchuan was well aware of it.

He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to visit his elder sister at the post station, but unexpectedly, his elder sister came looking for him first.

He examined the broken tiles for a few moments. "Finding a doctor is easy, but what kind of illness is it?"

"Poisoning and a broken leg."

Ah, concise and to the point, the meaning is expressed very clearly.

Ye Jingchuan couldn't help but look up at the girl; talking to her was truly interesting.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will be right back."

Wenwen and the others sat in the back room, staring at each other, exchanging glances and expressions, but not uttering a single word.

A moment later, footsteps and voices came from outside the door, "Gentlemen, let's go now."

When Wenwen went outside, she saw an older doctor waiting outside, with the shopkeeper standing next to him.

At this moment, the shopkeeper changed out of his rich long gown and into the attire of a doctor, carrying a medicine box and standing respectfully beside the old doctor.

"Gentlemen, this is my master. I am accompanying him on house calls. Please lead the way."

The people present could hardly believe their eyes.

Wenwen!

Is the shopkeeper hiding his true intentions or just looking for someone to have fun? Did the second aunt misjudge people or get scammed?

Despite some internal resistance, the old doctor seemed very experienced, so I decided to give it a try.

The group turned from the back door of the stone boat onto the main street. Before they even left the corner, the lively sounds from the street were deafening. The nightlife in Yanta Town was truly vibrant and diverse.

The shopkeeper sent a car.

"Da da da."

The carriage traveled along the street, and fortunately, despite the large number of people on both sides of the road, the carriage moved relatively smoothly.

Soon we passed the intersection of the two southwestern districts.

Wenwen stopped them, saying, "Shopkeeper, I have an older brother who is buying something nearby. My brother and I will go look for him and then catch up. You can go ahead first."

......

After getting off the bus, Wenwen and Wenchengjian strolled along the street and, taking advantage of the darkness, found the courtyard they had just rented.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A voice rang out from the courtyard, "Who is it? Coming, coming."

"Fourth Brother, it's us."

The three entered the house, and Wen Chengfeng asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did you find a doctor?"

"Don't worry, my third aunt and second brother went back with me. How are things here?"

"We've collected a lot of things. Can you check if anything is missing? By the way, why did you order so many carriages? We almost can't fit them all in this yard."

"Hehe, it just looks like a lot."

"That makes sense, but you won't need it much when the time comes."

Wenwen and Wenchengjian didn't say much, and the two of them took the bill to check the goods.

They ran from room to room in the courtyard, which shows how frightening their desire to buy was.

Wenwen checked each item and accepted it, carrying them all the way to the stables.

From a distance, the sight of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked there was truly spectacular, especially since each carriage was accompanied by two tall and sturdy horses.

For ordinary families, feeding just a few dozen horses would be quite a task.

But Wenwen didn't think it was a problem. She just put the wires in and left everything to Xianbao.

With a thought, the carriages vanished from sight.

Only two old handcarts and two wooden crates remained in the corner.

Wenwen put some food she had bought in advance into the wooden box.

The three siblings pushed the cart northward.

Passing through West Street, the street was still bustling with activity. Pedestrians strolled around excitedly, and the shops on both sides were packed with people. Yanta Town truly is a city that never sleeps.

The further north you go, the fewer people there are. Two blocks away from the rest station, there's almost no one left in this area.

No wonder it is said that the northern part of the city is a gathering place for peddlers and laborers, and also a concentration of poor people.

During the day, everyone is busy working hard to prepare three meals a day; where would they find the energy to wander around at night?

The three siblings had just approached the entrance to the stable where the prisoners were gathered.

An argument could be heard coming from inside.

"Doctor, I'm seriously ill, see me first."

"What's wrong with the people the Wen family invited? Look at me first, they can wait their turn."

"We're all prisoners; none of us are more noble than the other."

"They're not some great generals anymore, there's no need to be afraid of them."

"That's right. Their injuries have been delayed for so long, it's not worth waiting any longer. Let me check on them first."

Wenwen listened carefully and exclaimed, "Oh my, they're even trying to steal our doctor!"

This is intolerable!

He put down the cart and ran inside in a flash.
