The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

They lived on the river bank and had no shortage of water, and they had a good harvest every year, but the problem was that they had an army here, and in addition to paying taxes, they were forced to sell a large amount of grain to the army every year, causing them to go hungry during the lean season every year.

When Shen Ruolan heard that the other party had not eaten for three months, she couldn't help but frown. The current situation seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined.

Village Chief Wu saw Shen Ruolan frowning and thought of the string of copper coins she had just given him. After struggling for a long time, he revealed to Shen Ruolan: "Brother, there are grains for sale on the other side of the river, but the price is ridiculously expensive. If you really can't hold on, you can go over and buy some, but..."

When Shen Ruolan heard that there was a place to buy food, she looked at the village chief who was hesitant to speak, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Uncle, what is it?"

Village Chief Wu said, "We and the people on the other side of the river are irreconcilable except for trade, so, brother, whether you can buy food or not, please don't conflict with the people on the other side, otherwise, the people here will have a hard time."

The rainfall in Xia Kingdom is much better than that in Bei Ming, so people there are not short of food, so the people live a more comfortable life than them. This is also the reason why people look down on them and often bully them.

Shen Ruolan quickly assured him: "Don't worry, old man, whether the deal is successful or not, I won't cause any trouble to you."

After hearing Shen Ruolan's assurance, Village Chief Wu responded to her: "Well, I believe in you, little brother."

After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he called to his grandson behind him, "Da Hu, take the little brother and the others to the other side of the river."

Wu Dahu listened to his grandfather's words. He hesitated for a moment and replied to his grandfather: "Yes, Grandpa."

After Wu Dahu finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Little brother, get ready. I'll take you there right away."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Dahu." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she hurried back to the house to get some things, and then shouted to the young men and Aunt Liu in the house: "He Cai, Lin San, Aunt Liu, you and the others come with me."

Ji Ning saw Shen Ruolan leading everyone out alone. She looked at her with an uneasy face and said, "Master, I feel uneasy if you just go out like this. How about waiting for my third brother to come back and let him go with you?"

Shen Ruolan said to Ji Ning, "There's no more food at home, and I don't know when your brother and the others will be back, so I'd better go out for a while. If there's anything that can't be solved at home, just go find old man, okay?"

Seeing that Shen Ruolan was determined to leave, Ji Ning could only nod and say, "Master, rest assured, we will take good care of the family."

Shen Ruolan nodded to the servants at home and said to Village Chief Wu, "Uncle, please help take care of the family."

Village Chief Wu said, "Go ahead, young man, don't worry."

After saying this, he told his grandson, "Da Hu, row slowly and remember to take good care of little brother."

"Yes, grandpa." After Wu Dahu finished speaking, he took Shen Ruolan and the others away.

Village chief Wu also turned around and left with the villagers.

When they were some distance away from Shen Ruolan's rental house, the villagers couldn't help but ask the village chief, "Uncle village chief, why are you so nice to that outsider?"

"Yes, village chief, you let them go to the other side of the river to buy things. What should we do if they cause trouble for us later?" The villagers spoke one after another.

The village chief held up the copper coins given by Shen Ruolan and showed them to everyone, "Have you seen such a generous tenant in all these years?"

After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he paused and continued, "There are at least a hundred coins here, enough for each of us to share five coins. Although this young lady is not very good-looking, she knows how to deal with people. We just need to get along well with her. In the future, if she really wants to do something, she will not forget us."

Village chief Wu has lived a lifetime and has seen all kinds of people. As for someone with a temper like Shen Ruolan, as long as you treat her well, when she is in a good mood one day, a little food that slips out of her hands will be enough for the villagers to eat for several days.

Here, we have to say that Village Chief Wu is a man with vision. In the future, because of his good deed, Shen Ruolan really led the villagers in their village to become rich and made them live a life that is envied by people in other villages. Of course, this is a later story.

After listening to the village chief's words, the villagers felt that it made sense and they all thought to themselves that they must have a good relationship with the outsider in the future.

Nanfeng Village was not far from the other side of the river. It only took Shen Ruolan and her friends half an hour to walk to the river and take a boat to the other side. As soon as they got on the dock, several people immediately stepped forward to stop them and said, "You are from the other side of the river, right? Five cents per person."

Although the relationship between the villagers on both sides is not good, both sides have an unwritten rule that they can come to each other's territory for a few hours. Although the fee is a bit high, it can be regarded as an income for the village.

Shen Ruolan was not surprised to hear someone asking for five coins. She took out twenty-five coins from her pocket and handed them to the other person, saying, "Here are twenty-five coins. Please keep them."

The person in charge of guarding the dock took the copper coin and said to Shen Ruolan, "You only have two hours. Please come out quickly after you finish your work, otherwise you will be charged extra."

Shen Ruolan heard that there were only two hours left. She hesitated for a moment and replied to the man guarding the dock, "I understand."

After that, several people hurried to the village market.

However, before they reached the center of the market, they met a panicked woman holding her child and shouting, "Help, help! My child has been poisoned."

"Help!" The woman's voice attracted many villagers, and they all ran over to ask her, "Mother of Gouzi, how could the child be poisoned?"

The woman said to the woman who asked her the question in a tearful voice, "I don't know either. When I turned around, the child started eating the wild fruits I cut. Then he kept complaining about stomachache and mouthache."

"What a sin! Doctor Yu has been away for several days. What are you going to do?" When the villagers heard that the child was poisoned by eating wild fruits, they all said with sympathy on their faces.

When Shen Ruolan heard that a child was poisoned, she paused for a moment, walked forward and asked, "What poison was the child poisoned with? Can I take a look?"

When everyone heard Shen Ruolan's voice, they all looked at her. Seeing that she looked hard to describe, everyone looked at her with suspicion and said, "You look unfamiliar. Where are you from? Can you treat illnesses?"

Shen Ruolan said: "I am a tenant on the other side of the river, and I know a little bit about the art of medicine."

When everyone heard that she was from the other side of the river, their impression of her instantly became bad. They quickly waved their hands at her and said, "You who are from the other side of the river, hurry up and leave. We don't need you here."
