After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

It turned out that the Cui family had set out with the people from Cuijia Village. On the way that day, they met a person from Xujia Village whom they had known before. The person said that something happened in his sister Cui's family and they were about to break off the relationship.

That person witnessed the farce of the Xu family that day. Because he was driving a ox cart to visit relatives and friends, he did not travel with the others. He happened to meet the Cui family who were resting on the side of the road and told them the news.

Upon hearing the news, Uncle Cui and the old lady were extremely worried. If two weak women who were powerless really went on the journey alone, they would be beaten to death sooner or later.

After all, they were their relatives, so the Cui family couldn't let them go. They turned back and followed the way they came to look for him. They went all the way back to the village that the man mentioned, but didn't find him. So they had to ask while walking, and finally they chased him to the gate of Phoenix City.

"But what do these people mean? Logically speaking, you two women shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?"

Uncle Cui was a little skeptical, but since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it. He took his two sons for a walk in the yard and unexpectedly discovered a well in the backyard. Although the water level was not high, it was enough to surprise them. They immediately drew a bucket of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Thinking that the women were also thirsty, Uncle Cui asked his son to give them some more, while he continued to look around the yard, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

This yard may not have been occupied for a long time, but it was cleaned tidy. There were some rice, flour, grains and other things in the kitchen, and even seven or eight eggs, which must have been specially prepared.

They couldn't figure out what was going on and they didn't dare touch those things. Finally, the family sat down at the big table in the main room.

"Grandma, uncle, cousin, and second cousin, are you hungry? I have some wolf meat here, eat it first to fill your stomach."

Yuxiu took out a bag of roasted wolf meat from her backpack and shared it with them. This was specially roasted by the women of the Yang family. It smelled delicious and Yuxiu tasted it and found it quite good.

The Cui family members were eating the dried meat in their mouths when they remembered that most of their luggage was still with the people in Cuijia Village. Some food and drinks were not taken with them in the tense moment just now and were thrown outside the city gate.

"How is it living here? Are they satisfied?"

Just when the Cui family was feeling frustrated, a voice was heard outside the door. It sounded familiar. It should be the city lord coming.

Several people looked at each other and hurriedly walked out of the main hall. The city lord had already come in with his people and immediately burst into hearty laughter.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Please take a seat. Please take a seat."

At this time, the city lord had changed into a new set of clothes and warmly greeted Yuxiu and the others, asking them to be polite.

"To be honest, I invited you in because someone asked me to. You can live here peacefully from now on, and don't have to worry about things outside."

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, he coughed lightly again and looked up at Yuxiu and Cui.

"You two saved a young man. If you hadn't saved his life and left him some food, I'm afraid he would have returned dead by now. That's why he came to ask me to entertain you two on his behalf."

After the city lord finished speaking, he took out a golden peanut from his arms and placed it on the table. Yuxiu smiled knowingly, then rummaged through her backpack, took out a small purse from it, and poured out a few of the same golden peanuts and placed them on the table. They were exactly the thank-you gifts from the man she had rescued that day.

When the Cui family saw that they put treasures like golden peanuts directly into the backpack, several people looked at Yuxiu and Cui with incredible eyes.

Aren’t they afraid of losing this?

Put everything in the backpack. Shouldn't valuables like gold and silver be kept close to your body so that you can feel at ease?

The Cui family didn't understand, and the city lord didn't expect it either. After a moment of silence, he took the golden peanut in his hand and compared it. After making sure that there was no discrepancy at all, his smile deepened a little.

That’s right, this time we finally found the person, and the life-saving favor that the master had always been thinking about was finally repaid.

He then took out the title deed of the courtyard and placed it on the table, along with several silver notes. The top one had a face value of one hundred taels, and when added together it looked like it was worth about one thousand taels.

Since the other person said that it was to repay the favor of saving her life, Yuxiu did not refuse. She thanked him generously and took it.

How could these wealthy people lack this little money? On the contrary, once they repay the favor, the matter will come to an end and there will be no need to mention it again.

Now Cui followed Yuxiu's arrangements in everything. Since she had accepted it, Cui didn't say anything.

But are they going to stay here forever?

"Please take a look at this, sir."

Yuxiu rummaged through the backpack again and pulled out something wrapped in flowered cloth and placed it on the table.

As she slowly opened it, everyone in the room, except Yuxiu and Cui, couldn't help but gasp.

"Is this ginseng?"

It’s just that this ginseng looks a bit like a radish, it’s a bit bigger and has more roots.

Seeing these precious things being crammed into the backpack by Yuxiu and the other person, everyone in the room was speechless.

If they got such a treasure, they would definitely carry it close to their bodies so as not to be afraid of losing it.

"This is what we found on the mountain today. Please look, sir. The soil is still fresh."

This was dug up by Yuxiu with a hoe and has been kept in the space ever since. Of course, it looks like it was just dug out.

I don't know how old this ginseng is, but it looks like it is almost growing into a human form. It is a very rare treasure.

The city lord took it in his hand and examined it carefully, thinking about how much silver he should spend to buy it. It would be very good whether he kept it for himself or gave it as a gift.

"Please help find someone, and we will give you the ginseng. Even if we can't find it, it doesn't matter. We will think of other ways."

Yuxiu quickly told the story of Xu Qinghe and repeated in detail the clues provided by the woman that day.

Carriage, guards, injured man, this sounds familiar.

Seeing him frowning in thought, the bearded man standing outside the door walked in and whispered something in his ear.

The day before yesterday, a carriage passed by Prince Ning's mansion, and there was indeed an injured man in the carriage. However, the man had a head injury, and after entering the city, he had to find a doctor to bandage him.

But unfortunately, Yuxiu and her companions arrived too late. The people from Prince Ning's Mansion only rested in the city for half a day, replenished some dry food and water, and then left Phoenix City and headed for the capital.

After the city lord and his men left, Yuxiu and a few others began to discuss things.

According to Cui, no matter whether the man rescued by those people in Prince Ning's Mansion was Xu Qinghe or not, she wanted to go and take a look.
