In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 22: 1 Folding Fan

After walking for more than 30 minutes, Chen Ruotong vaguely found a village ahead. She had to enter the space and wash again. She had to wash. She was sweating and felt very uncomfortable. She ate some snacks and a big apple in the space. After resting for more than ten minutes, she felt much better physically and mentally. She changed into a gray coarse cloth shorts, put on a straw hat, and carried a small cloth bag. Well, this is like a traveler! She left the space and walked towards the village.

Just after walking a short distance, a black horse came galloping towards them. On the horse's back was a man in black, who was lying on the horse's back and seemed to be injured.

Chen Ruotong quickly moved to the side of the road, but when the horse galloped past her, it still rolled her down into the grass by the roadside.

"What a bad luck! I was trying to stay away from you, but you still came close to me. You almost hit me. This is drunk driving. I will deduct six points from you and fine you one thousand yuan! I'm so angry! Bah! My clothes are dirty and I have to wash them." Chen Ruotong muttered, crawled out of the bushes, and was covered in dirt.

As she stepped onto the road, another black horse came running towards her. The man on the horse was wearing a red robe and raised his whip. "Go..." The black horse flew past her. Fortunately, the horse was far away from her and only threw dust on her.

"Damn it, is this never going to end? Are these two in a hurry to reincarnate?" Chen Ruotong was so angry that she stomped her feet and cursed under her breath. Her temper flared up again!

Chen Ruotong's mind immediately came to her mind: One was injured and ran away, and the other was desperately chasing. This was a chase! Fortunately, fortunately, I was not harmed. I must be extra careful on the road, otherwise my life will be in danger!

Chen Ruotong looked around and saw no more horses, so she entered the space. She took off her straw hat and the cloth bag, and a black, long, narrow wooden box fell down.

What is this? Chen Ruotong opened the box, and there was a folding fan inside. She picked up the folding fan and opened it. It was a beautiful fan, and the fan was made of the finest silk. There was a snow mountain painted on the silk, and a red sun was painted on the upper right of the snow mountain. Below was a small river and grassland. The painting was good, but not well done. There was ink splashed on the back of the fan, and it didn't look like a painting. The fan was 40 centimeters long, and it was a big fan. The fan pendant was a white crescent-shaped jade pendant tied with a red rope. There were hollow patterns on the jade pendant, which was very beautiful. Chen Ruotong didn't know much about jade, but she also felt that this jade was not ordinary and should be very valuable.

"This fan is nice, I like it very much. It was not in vain that I fell. This is a gift to me!" Yes, it was the man in black who deliberately approached her on horseback and inserted the fan into her package when she was not paying attention. This fan was not ordinary, maybe it was stolen goods?

Chen Ruotong's heart skipped a beat. "Is something going to happen? This is not good! It should be fine. The horse is so fast, that person won't notice my appearance. That person can't even protect himself, how can he care about me? It's okay, it's okay, it's just a fan."

Chen Ruotong changed her clothes again, threw all the clothes she took off into the washing machine, and washed and dried them. This washing and changing delayed her journey, and she was a little depressed.

When Chen Ruotong packed up everything and left the space, it was already noon. It was still a little hot in April at noon, and when she arrived at the village, she was sweating again. Oh! This small body, sweating a lot, this is a sign of physical weakness, I need to eat more delicious food to replenish this small body!

There were not many people in the village, and there were no shops or tea houses on the roadside. Chen Ruotong saw a little boy of about six or seven years old, wearing patched and faded clothes, feeding chickens in front of his house. She walked over and asked with a smile: "Little brother, is your parents home? I need to ask for directions!"

The little boy answered timidly: "They are not at home, they are working in the fields."

"Then do you know there is a village ahead?"

The little boy pointed to the south and said, "Yes, my grandfather said there is a big town far away. There are a lot of people and it is very lively. My grandfather has been there, but I have not."

"Thank you, little brother. This is a reward for you. Be sure to give it to the adults when they come back!" Chen Ruotong took out five silver peanuts from the space and put them in the little boy's hand.

The village was very poor, and every house was a low thatched house. Chen Ruotong wanted to distribute food to the villagers, but in broad daylight, she couldn't distribute the food, so she gave up and continued to walk south.

The map she bought was very detailed, but it didn't have any markings for small towns and villages, so in order to know where she was, she had to walk a distance and ask for directions.

She couldn't waste any more time, otherwise when would she be able to return home and enjoy her life? Her business hadn't taken off yet, and she was somewhat concerned about the situation at home.

She went at full speed, riding her electric bike when the road was good and walking when the road was bad.

In this way, in the evening, they finally arrived at Yushu Town. This town is quite large, with many merchants coming and going, doing business, shopping, and it is very lively. Chen Ruotong went into a tavern, ordered a bowl of noodles, and while eating, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of the guests in the tavern. He wanted to get some information from the conversation and better understand the situation here.

A dirty little beggar walked into the tavern holding a broken bowl: "Uncle, please be kind and give me something to eat!" He begged the diners.

"Go away, go away. Where did you come from, beggar? You're so dirty and disgusting." Several diners chased him away.

Chen Ruotong waved to him and the little beggar immediately ran to him.

"Waiter, another bowl of noodles."

The waiter put the white cloth on his shoulders and said with a smile, "Yes, sir!"

Then he looked at the little beggar again and sighed: "Well, sir, please don't mind. This little beggar comes here to beg every day and won't leave even if we chase him away. Our boss feels sorry for him and doesn't chase him away, but he is still sensible. He will leave immediately after getting some leftovers. He also comes to the store every morning to help us clean up. He is also a poor child." After that, the waiter went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of noodles.

"Sit down and eat!" Chen Ruotong said gently.

The little beggar shook his head and said, "Brother, you have been hungry for a whole day and haven't eaten yet. I will take it back and eat with you. Thank you, big brother. You are a good man." After that, he bent down and bowed deeply, poured the bowl of hot noodles into his broken bowl, carefully carried the bowl of noodles, and walked out of the tavern.

Chen Ruotong felt a little sad, and then followed the little beggar out of the pub. After walking for five minutes, the little beggar turned into a small alley and walked into a dilapidated house.

Chen Ruotong hurriedly followed. On a broken bed lay a young boy in ragged clothes. The little beggar saw Chen Ruotong and was surprised: "Big brother, why are you here?"

"I came to see your brother."

"My brother is sick, and I don't have money to hire a doctor. My brother said that if he died, I should not worry about him and just live well." After saying this, tears as big as beans rolled down into the bowl.

"Stop crying and let your brother eat something."

The little beggar helped his brother up, held the bowl with great effort, picked up some noodles with chopsticks and put them into his brother's mouth. His brother seemed to have difficulty swallowing, and his face turned red.

Chen Ruotong walked up to him and touched his forehead, which was burning hot. He had to reduce the fever quickly, otherwise he would get burned.

So she took out the antipyretic medicine she had prepared earlier from the space, found a broken cup, poured water into it, and let the little beggar feed it.

"He has a high fever now. After he takes the medicine, the fever will go away. Believe me, I won't harm her." Chen Ruotong said sincerely.

The little beggar took the white pill and fed it to his brother.
