Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

As for the subsequent developments of the matter, Xu Yuan had to go to the county town three days later and learned about it from the words of passers-by.

At this time, the gates in and out of the city were no longer searched as strictly as last time.

It was heard that Magistrate Wu had already sent a letter to the crazy woman's father as fast as he could to inform him of the matter. As for how to deal with it later, most people knew what to do.

Soon afterwards, officers and soldiers were arranged to strictly guard Fan's mansion and search it carefully, allowing only people to enter and not leave.

That woman has gone mad now and has fallen into a state of despair.

Xu Yuan had already expected that she would go crazy. After all, it was her own doing. If she magnified everything she had done in her mind and looped it endlessly, and then brought herself into it, it would be strange if she didn't go crazy.

In addition, he has been weak for many years and has taken medicines indiscriminately. Once the disease breaks out, he will not have much time left. Now he is lying in bed and can no longer jump around.

The Fan Mansion had been burned beyond recognition, and many of the maids and servants had fled. Only the housekeeper, his maid Lanxiang, and several elderly maids stayed with them.

As for the bandits who were involved in such vile deeds, Guanshi and Lanxiang confessed under torture. Under the iron-blooded tactics of Magistrate Wu, they were arrested when they entered the city gate again. Several officers and passers-by were seriously injured in this operation.

The poor child had been taken in by Prefect Wu and was being cared for in his mansion, and would be sent back to the Fan family after his injuries had healed.

It really makes people happy. It is quite good that Lin'an City has such a capable prefect. The air in Lin'an City feels a lot fresher now.

There were not many people on the street at this time, and the ox cart passed smoothly until it stopped in front of a drug store.

It's not even late autumn yet, but the weather has already turned cold.

The weather dropped sharply, and Guozi and others couldn't adapt to the weather immediately, so they caught a cold. Fortunately, the elixir was effective and they are almost recovered.

There are not many herbs left at home, and there are not many herbs at Doctor Wei's in the village either. This time, in addition to buying some for my own use and some spices, I will also buy the herbs that Doctor Wei needs.

When he entered the pharmacy, there were not many people inside. With the help of the waiter, Xu Yuan quickly bought the herbs he needed.

He finished with a big cloth bag, quickly put it on his back and walked out.

Untie the rope tied with the big flower and get on the car.

"elder sister?"

A weak voice came from behind.

Xuyuan didn't pay attention until a small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Xu Yuan then turned around and saw a little child staring at him blankly. Next to him stood a woman with a little girl who did not look very old.

The woman had a round face and big eyes. She was wearing a pale blue dress and was staring at him curiously.

"Zi'an, do you know this sister?"

"Well, Sister Shiya, can I talk to this sister?"

Wu Shiya took a look, nodded and went into the pharmacy.

"Okay, then don't run around after you finish speaking." Wu Shiya told the maid to stand far away outside the pharmacy and she went into the pharmacy herself.

Wu Shiya brought the little kid Fan Zian out for a walk today. After a few days of recuperation in the mansion, he felt a little better and then clamored to come out and see the world.

I didn't expect that halfway through the ride in the carriage, he would start clamoring to get off and walk. I had no choice but to agree to him.

After all, this was the first time the child spoke since he had been close to the mansion for so long, so such a small request would certainly not be refused.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door of the pharmacy, he suddenly stopped and shouted to a woman.

Xu Yuan turned around and saw a child dragging himself here, who looked familiar.

"It's you, kid."

Xu Yuan squatted down and touched the child's head.

Fan Zian felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for saving me, sister. My name is Fan Zian. You hold it, sister."

Fan Zian took out a cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into Xu Yuan’s hand.

Xu Yuan was stunned: "I call you Xiao An, where did you get the money? I can't take it, take it back quickly."

This child had just been rescued from the cage, how could he have money to give to himself?

Fan Zian insisted: "Sister, just accept it. Zian has nothing to repay you. This is my gift."

Seeing that Xu Yuan was not accepted, her face fell, her eyes turned red instantly, and she started to cry.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?" Seeing the child suddenly start crying, Xu Yuan felt helpless.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Zi'an? Did this sister bully you?" The maid who was standing far away at the door of the pharmacy and paying attention to this side from time to time heard the crying and hurried into the shop to call her young lady.

Wu Shiya was still selecting a prescription suitable for nourishing Fan Zian's body. When she heard Xiaotao rushing in, she quickly apologized to the old doctor and ran out holding up the hem of her skirt.

When Xu Yuan heard the accusation made against him without any evidence, he quickly stood up and said, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense."

"Then why don't you explain it?"

He came to Fan Zian, squatted down, and carefully comforted him, "Don't be afraid, did she bully you?"

Fan Zian didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding. He quickly shook his head, rolled up his sleeves to wipe his tears, and burped.

"No, no, it's this sister who refuses to accept my thank-you gift."

The little hands tightly grasped a cloth bag and looked at Xuyuan pitifully.

Xu Yuan helplessly held his forehead.

Wu Shiya was shocked: Is that why you are crying so pitifully?

"It's just this matter. It's not a big deal. I can help you with it."

Wu Shiya patted Fan Zian on the shoulder, took the cloth bag from Fan Zian's hand, and stuffed it directly and forcefully into Xu Yuan's arms.

"Just accept the child's kindness."

After doing all this, she realized it belatedly and looked at Fan Zian, who had stopped crying, "Zian, why did you give her the thank-you gift? Aren't you the one who..."

"Forget it, forget it. I won't ask anymore. You must have your reasons." After Wu Shiya said this, she realized that it was a bit inappropriate. She was afraid that it would cause bad memories for the child, so she quickly shut up.

"Okay, okay, Zi'an, this sister has accepted your thank-you gift, so can you go back now?"

"Yeah." Fan Zian nodded obediently.

"Thank you, sister. Goodbye."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan had no choice but to accept it. He nodded to Fan Zian and watched Wu Shiya holding the child's hand and walking away and getting on a carriage.

He turned around and sat back on the ox cart, putting the cloth bag in his arms.

It seems that the child's mental health is pretty good, at least he can still cry.

I still have some small emotions, instead of being blank, silent, and unresponsive to the outside world. The pill has worked a little.

I hope that the child can be reborn after this unexpected disaster, and everything will be fine and smooth in the future.
