One touch and one silence

Nanzhi didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he asked a question.

"When do you plan to leave?"

Erniu scratched his hair with a smile, "The day after tomorrow! Tomorrow I will water the vegetable garden and visit the neighbors tomorrow to ask them to look after you while I'm away, so I can feel more at ease."

Cai Erniu's words made Nanzhi feel warm in her heart.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"

The next day, Cai Erniu went out early in the morning and bought some cheap snacks at the market. He gave some to his neighbors and asked them to help look after his son when he was not at home.

The people at the border were simple and honest, without many ulterior motives, and they enthusiastically agreed to Cai Erniu's request.

On the third day, Cai Erniu stewed a chicken for Nanzhi, and cooked it according to Nanzhi's requirements. After staying with this master for half a year, Cai Erniu's cooking skills have improved a lot. It can be said that except for those in Anle Palace, his cooking skills are among the best among others.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Cai Erniu packed his bags and prepared to leave, but Nanzhi asked him to stay.

"Brother Erniu, please help me check whether the water tank is full. You know, I..." Nanzhi said with difficulty.

After hearing this, Erniu quickly put down the package on his shoulder and walked to the kitchen.

He had clearly just filled it up this morning. Could it be that the prince had used a lot of it in the morning?

Erniu went to the place where the water tank was placed in confusion.

Nanzhi secretly stuffed one hundred and sixty taels of silver into Erniu's package.

This boy has taken care of her for so long, and it is such a long journey back, so how could he not bring some money?

When Erniu came back, Nanzhi was already sitting in the chair as if nothing had happened.

"The water tank is still full. Don't worry. I've already told the waterman next door to fill it up for you every day. If there's no firewood at home, just tell him directly. I've already paid the money. If it's not enough, I'll pay him when I come back."

"Aunt Zhang on the right will bring you a bowl of porridge every morning. I have sent the food to her home and given her the money. You don't have to be embarrassed."

When Nanzhi heard these instructions, her heart felt warm. This man was more careful and thorough than she thought.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work! Be careful on the road!"

"Then you should take care of yourself and wait for Erniu to come back." Erniu said as he picked up his bag and walked out of the room.

Nanzhi looked at Erniu's receding back, feeling extremely grateful.

Now that spring is gradually getting warmer, Nanzhi looks at the people around her busy with farming and finds it really lively.

For a moment she felt like she had returned to her childhood in her previous life.

When she is healthy, she will walk in the fields to exercise. Occasionally, she will pick some wild flowers from the roadside and put them in a jar at home. Even when she can't go out, she will feel better by seeing the bright flowers.

In the blink of an eye, Erniu has been gone for half a month, and no one knows where that guy is now.

The magpie followed Nanzhi every day and no longer ran around. It would only fly away when Nanzhi fell asleep. When Nanzhi woke up, the little guy was already in front of her bed.

Erniu hurried along the way, worried about what was happening in the Taoist temple. He originally thought it would only take a year, but it dragged on for more than two years. He didn't even know what was happening in the outside world.

It was not until his clothes were so tattered that he was about to change them that he discovered that there was a silver note worth 160 taels stuffed inside his clothes.

He had been eating cold steamed buns for half a month, and suddenly when he saw the huge fortune in his hands, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

It turns out that this prince is so considerate.

Erniu was very touched.

However, he did not spend the money recklessly, but hid it carefully. Now the prince was in poor health and his expenses were relatively high, so he could save as much as he could. This money was enough for the prince to use silver charcoal in the winter.

By then, he could take along all the private savings that his brother had hidden away, which would be enough to support the prince for a period of time.

Thinking of this, Erniu felt full of strength.

No wonder people outside say that this prince is a good man, isn’t he?

The person who was being talked about was basking in the sun in the yard, feeling drowsy under the warm spring sun. She didn't know that she had been labeled a nice guy, and with a casual gesture, she had won a man's heart.

Sometimes men are just so emotional and loyal.

As the spring days grew warmer, Nanzhi's body gradually got rid of the heaviness and stiffness, and she was even able to go to the market.

One day, Nanzhi was strolling in the market when suddenly a child ran over and bumped into her. Nanzhi was knocked to the ground almost instantly.

The child was stunned at first, then ran away.

Nanzhi didn't get up for a long time. He sighed helplessly, lowered his head and sat on the ground in frustration to relax.

I felt helpless as I watched the naughty kid running away.

At this time, someone reminded Nanzhi, "Young man, please check if your money is still there. The kid just now was a thief here. Many people have been robbed by him."

After being reminded by the kind-hearted person, Nanzhi subconsciously touched the purse around her waist, but there was no trace of the purse.

Nanzhi was so angry that she laughed. She never thought that one day her things would be stolen!

All her money was in it, and now she became a pauper in an instant.

Nanzhi struggled to get up helplessly. At this time, a kind-hearted old lady came over and helped Nanzhi up.

He looked her up and down with concern, "Are you okay, little one?"

Nanzhi was gently helped up by the aunt. What she didn't expect was that the aunt was quite strong. It seemed that this border area was indeed impressive.

"Thank you, kind auntie!"

After Nanzhi stood up, he politely thanked the person in front of him.

Looking at the little brat who had disappeared long ago, Nanzhi felt extremely helpless.

At this time, the child ran to the place where the beggars gathered. The boy took the purse and happily handed it to a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

The man took the purse and weighed it. His originally disgusted face turned into a happy smile the moment he opened the purse and saw the banknotes inside.

"Good! Well done!"

Then he took out a few copper coins and gave them to the little boy, "Here, go buy two meat buns!"

The man was holding his purse and was about to leave happily when suddenly a burly man with a stubbled face appeared in front of them.

"Where to go?"

"So happy!"

The man saw that this man was not someone to be trifled with. He was very big and sturdy, and he was a little scared.

The man who was excited just now was so scared that his whole body began to tremble.

"Master! I just made some money, and this is my gift to you!" As he said that, the man respectfully handed over the purse with both hands, looking at the big man in front of him with a flattering face.

Xinglong looked at the man. He had no intention of letting this jerk go.

Dare to attack the prince's sweetheart? I simply don't want to live!

Xingyun had reminded him to take good care of his master's sweetheart, but it had only been about half a month, and someone dared to do something to his master's sweetheart? This was showing that they didn't take Grandpa Xinglong seriously!

His prince is now in a desperate situation, and there is no way he would allow this man to bully the prince's sweetheart.

Thinking of this, Xinglong had a cruel sneer on his face. It seemed that he really didn't know how powerful his grandfather Xing was here.
