Chapter 50 Xiaolan is missing
Du Changgui was already very sleepy, his eyelids were twitching, and he just fell asleep when he was full.Hearing this, he immediately wanted to refuse.

But Mrs. Zhao's next words made him swallow the rejection that was on his lips.

What the old lady said was: "I am willing to pay you 300 taels of silver for your help. If my relatives can come back alive, there will be rewards."

Du Changgui thought of the tribesmen who went down the mountain with him to rescue people during the day. These people plus him totaled 30 people.If you take a trip, each person can get ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, especially for people like them who are extremely poor.Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, there are still many things to buy on the road, and both of them are worried to death.

Now, when others bring money to their hands, it is just a matter of exerting some effort, so what is there to be unhappy about?

Du Changgui suddenly became energetic, straightened his back and said, "Let's go. You give me a stick of incense, and I'll set off on time after one stick of incense."

Mrs. Zhao put three banknotes with a face value of 100 taels into Du Changgui's hand: "In that case, I'll trouble you."

Du Changgui had never touched such a large amount of money in his life, and his trembling hands were a little afraid to take it.His wife Shen Sanzhi looked on, a little dumbfounded.

Du Ruoli had to remind her: "Uncle, a stick of incense will arrive soon."

"Then I'll make arrangements!"

Du Changgui reacted, handed the banknote to Shen Sanzhi, dragged his stunned son away, and walked away.

Du Ruoli quickly returned to the cave, packed up a baggage and sent it out: "Uncle, the white porcelain bottle with a big belly contains medicine for cleaning wounds. If anyone is injured, take a piece out and wash it carefully. It will be clean and then apply fine powder on it. Medicine for wounds in a tall bottle.”

There is medicine!It really relieved his worries!Du Changgui was so excited that he couldn't pull it out with his eyes fixed on the medicine bottle: "This is good, this is good, thank you Ah Li for your thoughtfulness. Ah Li will also buy a copy for uncle tomorrow, and uncle will give it back to you."

"Okay, no problem!" Du Ruoli pointed to a bamboo tube and said, "There are salt and brown sugar in it. Stop when you are tired, use the stove to boil a pot of hot water, mix it with salt and sugar water and drink it. It can quickly replenish your physical strength. Salt and sugar are in it. There is a lot of charcoal, so don’t save it. If you don’t have much charcoal, you can find someone else to raise some.”

Du Changgui came to his senses and waved his hand to refuse: "We have salt and sugar, and I don't want your charcoal. You keep it for yourself."

Du Ruoli quickly tied the baggage and stuffed it into his hand: "It's too late, let's leave quickly. If we leave earlier, the missing people will have more hope of surviving, right? There are some pancakes and dried meat in the baggage. Remember to remember it on the way. Eat."

"Okay, uncle accepts your favor and is going to save people." Du Changgui stopped writing, took the baggage, and set off with the people.

The Zhao family prepared ten torches for them, but none of them followed them.The men are old and have no strength to follow.The young ones are women and girls. It is not convenient to go together, so we can only entrust them to these men.

Du Changgui said solemnly: "Old Mrs. Zhao, don't worry. We will do our best!"

Mrs. Zhao returned the gift: "Thank you very much."

After saying what needed to be said, the men each carried the food and charcoal prepared by their families, went into battle lightly, and quickly disappeared into the night.

As soon as the rescue team left, Du Ruoli, no matter how worried their family was, how sad the patriarch and others were, or how anxious the Zhao family was, he took her and asked Zhou Daya to breastfeed her sister, and fell asleep next to Du Ruoying, who had a heart as wide as the sea.

Du Ruoli, who was asleep, didn't know that Wu Yueniang was washing clothes, shoes and socks at night, including hers.Roast it by the fire, dry it overnight, and bring it back the next morning.As early as the second day after wearing them, Du Ruoli discovered that hiking shoes were at risk of exposure when walking on mountain trails. She never wore them again and switched to straw sandals.So I dare to take off my shoes and socks at will.

When she woke up the next morning and faced the clean clothes and shoes, Du Ruoli was deeply moved.

The people here are so nice, they warm you and take care of you.

The warmth and care gave her a sense of belonging, and she no longer regarded herself as an outsider or a bystander.

Du Changgui and others had already returned before she woke up. They were sitting by the fire and taking a nap. Their snoring sounded like a spectacular morning sonata.The sound is so loud that most people dare not approach it.

After running around at night, they didn't find Xiaolan, only the old lady who had lost her footing.

The old lady fell to the bottom of the cliff and her body broke into several pieces. She was already hardened.It was inconvenient for them to bring him back, so they dug a hole on the spot and buried the person properly.A wordless wooden sign was inserted on the grave bag, waiting for relatives to write when they have the opportunity.

The Zhao family collectively cried. Xiaolan's mother fainted again and has not woken up yet.

After Du Ruoli packed up, Li Jianming came over and asked in a low voice: "Miss Du, do you still have the medicine you gave me last time? I want some more. I don't want it in vain, it's for money."

Du Ruoli's eyes were a little cold: "Who does Master Li want it for?"

Don't say it's for Ji Tong or other guards. These people didn't get good treatment last night, so inflammation is expected.

She is not a holy mother, and she will not treat the person who killed the original family and continued to persecute the prisoners along the way.Without stepping on her, it was her last act of tenderness. Don't even think about anything else.

As long as Li Jianming dares to say this, he will be permanently blacklisted by her and will no longer be related to her.

Li Jianming heard the meaning of her words and quickly waved his hand: "I didn't ask for it for others, I asked for it for myself. There was a half-inch deep gash on my leg last night. I used what you gave me while no one was paying attention. Medicine. When I looked at it this morning, it was not swollen into a big bun like other people. There was no pain or itching. Unfortunately, the medicine was used up last night and there is nothing left to use today. I just wanted to ask, Do you have any more? If so, give me some. If not, it doesn’t matter. Someone will go down the mountain specifically to buy medicine today."

Du Ruoli saw that he was standing on one leg with his right leg. There was a faint smell of Yunnan Baiyao and blood on his body. Knowing that he was not lying, Du Ruoli opened the bag and revealed two small porcelain bottles: "The last two bottles, one is for you, and the other is for you." Keep it to yourself.”

"Of course, thank you for your love." Li Jianming handed over a 20-tael banknote: "Are these enough? If not, I will add more."

The price of medicine for bruises and injuries on the market ranges from 200 Wen to 2 taels of silver. Miss Du's ancestral medicine is more effective and naturally more valuable.

"I don't know the price either. Mr. Li has the final say." Du Ruoli took the banknote and handed over the medicine bottle.

Li Jianming took the medicine bottle, hid it in his sleeve, and left happily.

Du Ruoli was equally happy. If she wanted to go shopping and do business in the future, she didn't need to think of new ways, she could just follow Li Jianming.
