The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "We don't know where to stay right now, so just do it with peace of mind. Once we've decided on a place, I'll send someone to Baitie Village to get it."

"Okay, then I'll go back and start preparing now." After Bai Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Ruolan hurriedly called out, "Master Bai, wait a minute."

Bai Zhen turned around and looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Brother Shen, what else do you want?"

Shen Ruolan looked at Bai Zhen and said, "Master Bai, do you have any extra machetes or other weapons?"

Not only do they lack farm tools, but even a good axe or kitchen knife is rare, which is very unfavorable for them to move forward.

When Bai Zhen heard that Shen Ruolan wanted to buy knives or something, he was silent for a moment and asked Shen Ruolan, "How many knives does Brother Shen need?"

As for things like knives, their family did prepare a lot, and most of the time they took them to towns to exchange for food. However, in recent years, natural disasters have been severe and the imperial court has had very strict control over food, so they were unable to exchange them even if they had things, and they ended up saving a lot.

Of course, there is another reason for saving this. They are also planning to expand their Baitie Village, and these things are prepared for future brothers.

When Shen Ruolan heard that the other party really had stock, she thought for a moment and said to him, "If you have it ready, give me 200 axes, kitchen knives, sickles, etc. I can take as many as you want."

"No problem, it's just..." Bai Zhen paused here. He had never done business before, so he was not good at negotiating the buying and selling prices.

Although Bai Zhen didn't finish his words, Shen Ruolan understood. She looked at the refugees present and asked, "Fellow villagers, may I ask, what is the price for your axes and woodcutters?"

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, the refugees present told her the truth: "To answer your question, a good axe is usually 25 wen, a good kitchen knife is 20 wen, and a good sickle is 16 wen..."

After Shen Ruolan heard the price everyone quoted, she took out twenty taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Bai Zhen, saying, "Master Bai, let's just follow what everyone said. Take this silver back first, and we'll refund you when the goods are delivered."

Bai Zhen came back to his senses from his shock. He took the silver that Shen Ruolan handed over, looked at him with a confused face and asked, "Are you a girl?"

When Shen Ruolan heard Bai Zhen ask about her gender, she nodded at him, then shook her head and said, "Yes and no."

To be precise, she is already the girl's mother, but it is not easy to tell others about this.

Shen Ruolan's answer made Bai Zhen, who was already confused, even more confused. He looked Shen Ruolan up and down, trying to confirm whether she was a boy or a girl.

However, after looking at her for a long time, he could not see anything except an ugly face and a thin body.

Ji Han on the side quickly put Shen Ruolan behind him and said to Bai Zhen expressionlessly: "Hurry up and deliver the things. We'll wait here."

Ji Han's actions embarrassed Bai Zhen for a moment. After listening to his words, he glanced at Shen Ruolan. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he quickly said to Ji Han: "Okay, I'll go back and bring the things to you now."

After saying this, he left quickly with his younger brothers behind him.

After Ji Han waited for Bai Zhen to leave, he looked at Shen Ruolan's slightly tired face and said, "Master, it's about two days' journey from here to Baitie Village. You should rest here first. I will be watching you from your side."

It is already June now. Not only is the weather hot, but there are also many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Without anyone to watch over me, I dare not fall asleep alone.

Shen Ruolan looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. She said to Ji Han, "You can lead everyone to find food. I'll ask others to help me watch it."

"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he led a group of young and strong men into the mountains.

Among the refugees, a few old ladies called a group of young children and surrounded Shen Ruolan, saying, "Girl, go to sleep peacefully. We will all take good care of you."

After a few days of getting along, the experienced old ladies learned that Shen Ruolan was pregnant and had brought their family into the mountains to seek survival. They were all very grateful to her.

Shen Ruolan glanced at the old and young people surrounding her, and smiled and replied to the old lady: "Okay"

After she finished speaking, she lay down on the spot and soon fell asleep.

There was no other way. She was really tired from dragging her body on the road every day. If she wasn't a doctor and gave herself acupuncture every day to relieve the pain, she really wouldn't dare to walk so much.

An hour later, Shen Ruolan woke up and did not see Ji Han and the others. She asked the old lady beside her, "Grandma, haven't Ji Han and the others come back yet?"

After hearing Shen Ruolan's question, the old lady also responded with a worried look on her face: "No, Manager Ji and the others have not returned since they left."

When Shen Ruolan heard that Ji Han had not come back, she quickly got up from the ground, found a high rock and looked into the mountains.

But she looked for a long time and didn't see any sign of Ji Han and the others, which made her feel a little uneasy.

A man among the refugees came up to Shen Ruolan and said, "Miss, how about I take a few people in to take a look?"

Shen Ruolan glanced at the man who was speaking, and then said in silence, "Wait a little longer. If Ji Han and the others haven't come out yet, let's go in and look for them together."

Among their group, most of the men with good physical strength had been taken away by Ji Han. If she let some of them go now, and something unexpected happened here later, she would not be able to handle it with a group of old, weak and disabled people.

Just when Shen Ruolan couldn't wait any longer, she finally saw Ji Han and his group walking back. She quickly shouted to the men in the crowd, "Ji Han and his group are back. Go and meet them."

"Yes, Miss Shen." After the refugees finished speaking, the men came out consciously and walked towards Ji Han and the others.

A quarter of an hour later, the refugee who had just passed by suddenly ran back and said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss, Manager Ji is injured."

When Shen Ruolan heard that Ji Han was injured, she quickly said to the man, "Hurry up and bring Ji Han back."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she prayed in her heart. Ji Han was her most capable assistant, and she hoped that nothing would happen to him.

"Yes, girl." After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards Ji Han and the others.

Soon, everyone finally carried Ji Han back, along with a huge yellow tiger.

Shen Ruolan was frightened when she saw the huge tiger, but she didn't have time to be afraid. She hurried to Ji Han's stretcher and shouted to him, "Ji Han, how are you?"

When Ji Han heard Shen Ruolan's voice, he opened his eyes with great effort and said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, I'm fine."

After he finished speaking, he completely fainted.
