Shen Xia looked horrified and said repeatedly: "Uncle Wei, mugwort is worthless and I haven't put in much effort, so why should you give me money! This is absolutely impossible! You feel sorry for me and let me follow you. Caravan, you take good care of me on weekdays, I'm very happy that these little things can help you!"

Shen Xia could carry it clearly. As long as she received one copper coin, she would never be able to eat free broth again.

Mosquito repellent powder and soothing incense are sold in any town. Maybe they are included in the goods brought to Tiansheng City this time. But since Wei Yan came to ask, it means that he still wants to take care of Shen Xia and make mugwort powder. how long? Just ask a few people to do it for two days, and it's probably enough for the entire caravan. So Shen Xia didn't ask for any reward and promised to make moxa leaf powder tomorrow.

With Mr. Hu acting as cover, Shen Xia picked a large amount of mugwort leaves openly and dried them while the caravan was resting. Before dinner the next day, he gave Wei Yan the mugwort leaf powder requested by Mr. Hu, and also gave Wei Yan a mugwort leaf pillow. . The remaining buckets of Aiye's family that submitted to the task system pretended to be put into the backpack, but in fact they were received in the backpack.

Shen Xia was about to submit the task when the mother of a family of three who was traveling with her came and asked: "Shen Xia, you have got so many mugwort leaves, are there more? Can you give me some? I want to use them for our little baby." ." Shen Xia said nothing, just speeding up the rhythm in her hands and gathering the remaining residue together to make it easier to light a fire when cooking.

This person's name is Wang Xiaofang. She usually grabs a few extra pieces of meat when receiving food from the caravan. On the day of departure, she occupied the best seat in the car. Even when she rested at night, she had to take her baby with her. The husband and son were close to the edge of Mr. Hu's tent.

In fact, even the women in the caravan did not look down upon her. They felt that all the women in the world were spying on her husband. If Shen Xia was not young, she would probably have kicked her out. The bullock cart is gone.

In Shen Xia's eyes, Wang Xiaofang's husband had a very ordinary appearance, and the other two young men in the oxcart looked refreshing. Shen Xia only thought that Wang Xiaofang was in the late stage of love brain and would not have any contact with him if possible.

When Wang Xiaofang saw that Shen Xia was ignoring her, she felt that she couldn't save face, so she pulled Shen Xia's hand: "I'm talking to you. You're not a big kid, so why are you so untutored?"

The voice was loud, attracting everyone who was resting to look over. Shen Xia didn't want to continue to pester her, so she could only show a frightened and timid look: "Auntie, I'm sorry, my parents are gone and there is no one to teach me." I gave these things to you. You also saw the moxa leaf powder I made. I gave it all to Uncle Wei. The rest are just leftovers, thinking of making fire starters. I see that your little one usually eats well and sleeps soundly. You don’t need these things, right? These mugwort leaves are also common on the roadside. If aunt wants to give them to Xiaobao, she can pick some herself during the day. "

As soon as Shen Xia said these words, coupled with her tearless expression, those people who listened to the gossip with their ears pricked up had no good feelings towards Wang Xiaofang.

Wang Xiaofang was even more annoyed, but she couldn't fault Shen Xia's words. She could only reach out and pull Shen Xia's backpack: "I see you stuffed a lot into the backpack. We all eat and sleep together. On weekdays, We should take care of each other. If you are still hiding these worthless things, who knows if you have stolen everyone else's things, I will check them for everyone."

Shen Xia didn't have much strength. When Wang Xiaofang pulled like this, all the things in the backpack were scattered on the ground. There were only a few clothes, towels, soap locust and other items. The only two white steamed buns also rolled around on the ground. Stopped at Shen Xia's feet.

When Wang Xiaofang saw that there was no mugwort in Shen Xia's basket, she had no choice but to give up and go looking for her husband and baby while cursing. Normally when Wang Xiaofang had a quarrel with others, her husband and son would leave the center of the dispute, as if something had happened. It has nothing to do with them.

Shen Xia silently picked up the things scattered on the floor and put them back into the basket, without even brushing the dust off the cloth. Finally, she picked up the two steamed buns and tried hard to wipe off the dirt on them, but unfortunately it still didn't work. They were two gray steamed buns. Shen Xia had no choice but to tear off the soil-covered surface of the steamed buns bit by bit and put them back in the basket.

No one came to help her.

Shen Xia has not been in this world for a long time. Even though she had eaten at hundreds of restaurants in Changliu Village before, and even though some of the villagers in Changliu Village liked to take advantage, she had never been like Wang Xiaofang, who overthrew her shame and dignity to the ground. Just like that Like two steamed buns, they rolled around and around on the ground.

This dispute lasted only five or six minutes, but Shen Xia felt it was more difficult than the previous three months.

The porters who usually chatted happily with her and the aunts who left hot soup for her were just silently doing their jobs at the moment. No one came out to stop Wang Xiaofang when she got started, and no one stopped her after the argument. Later, he comforted Shen Xia. As for Wei Yan, this little incident would never reach his ears, and even if he knew about it, he would just ignore it.

Shen Xia hid her emotions and handed the remnants of mugwort leaves that she had collected before to her aunt who was preparing dinner, and said: "Aunt, I won't help today. My clothes are all stained with dust. I'm afraid there are bugs, so I'll go first." Clean your clothes by the stream."

"Go, go, Shen Xia, aunt is telling you." The aunts who were cooking now looked indignant again, "Wang Xiaofang is a shrew, you don't need to pay attention to her, she will really make trouble then." Get up, the aunts will definitely be on your side."

Shen Xia could only smile reluctantly: "Thank you aunts for your kindness. I naturally know that everyone has good intentions. With these words from the aunts, I feel at ease."

Walking to the creek alone, Shen Xia submitted the task items in her mind.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the task of 'Mugwort Family Bucket' and receiving the reward experience +10 silver taels +4."

Shen Xia was now unable to worry about the satisfaction of Mugwort Family Bucket. She took out a towel, dipped it in water and patted the dust on her clothes hard. Unknowingly, Shen Xia's tears also fell.

The more tears she shed, the more Shen Xia finally could only squat down and cry muffledly. She didn't know how long she cried, but Shen Xia finally stopped. She packed the things in her basket, washed her face, then got up and walked back.

When approaching the camp, Shen Xia stopped and asked the system: "Xiao Ai, are you there?"

"Host, may I ask if you have any questions?"

"Xiao Ai, since others can buy things from me, can I also buy things from others?"

"Host, free trade needs to reach level 7 before it can be opened. If you need to purchase goods or services now, Xiao Ai can place the order on behalf of the host, but you will need to pay double the fee."

"Can you show me the price list first?"

"Okay host, Xiao Ai will call up the list for you now."

Shen Xia glanced at it and saw that there were many products densely packed. There was also a search bar in the upper right corner where you could search directly. Some of the prices on the price list are on the high side, some are on the low side, but overall they are acceptable. But it’s still expensive if you have to pay double the fee.

After Shen Xia returned to the camp, she handed over 1 tael of silver to the two aunts who were cooking: "Aunt, I thought about it and decided that I would have dinner with you guys from now on. I originally planned to eat dry food along the way." I can go to Tiansheng City, but I have been so hungry recently, and the dry food I brought earlier... This was my last capital to go to Tiansheng City. I can only hope that I have better luck and can go to Tiansheng City. The city found my second uncle and grandpa."

Shen Xia found out clearly that she had walked almost 1/3 of the distance. If she only had dinner, 1 tael of silver would be about the same. The two aunts collected the money and spoke to Shen Xia for a while. The food expenses had to be accounted for, so they couldn't look at Shen Xia's pity and refuse to accept the payment. They could only say that they would give Shen Xia more food when the time came.

That night, Shen Xia received a large bowl of delicious food.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Shen Xia gave Wang Xiaofang a small packet of newly made mugwort leaf powder: "Sister Xiaofang, this is my newly made mugwort leaf powder. Didn't you say you wanted to use it last time, but there is no mugwort leaf in this area. , this is all I have done in total, I wonder if you still need it?"

"What? Have you changed your gender? Aren't you stingy?" Wang Xiaofang complained as she grabbed the moxa leaf powder packet. Shen Xia inadvertently caught sight of her husband and son walking away from the "battlefield" again.

"Where are you looking, little girl?" Wang Xiaofang didn't know why she exploded again. "You don't like our little treasure, do you? Is that you? You don't even urinate and take pictures. What kind of virtue do you have, and you dare to look like us?" My son?"

Shen Xia was not annoyed when she heard Wang Xiaofang scolding her like this: "Sister Xiaofang, how can you? Your son is like an immortal. How dare I have such an idea? I heard that many rich families in Tiansheng City are recruiting Xu." , your son is so good-looking, you have to keep a close eye on him."

"Hmph." Wang Xiaofang raised her chin. "Then let's look at whose son? Zhaoxu? Our little treasure doesn't want to be a door-to-door son-in-law. We went to Tiansheng City but... forget it, I tell you, you don't understand either. After all, You haven’t read any books.”

Shen Xia followed whatever Wang Xiaofang said without showing any impatience on her face. During dinner, the aunt who was cooking came to Shen Xia again and said, "Shen Xia, why are you trying to please her? That kind of person is just trying to get her nose in the face, so don't do those useless things."

Shen Xia also responded one by one. But in the next few days, they helped Wang Xiaofang fetch water and help Wang Xiaofang move things. Wang Xiaofang and the others also suffered, and even put on airs and asked Shen Xia to help them make their beds.

Of course, when Shen Xia was helping them work, Wang Xiaofang was watching as a supervisor.
