The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei feels that since coming to this world, everyone he meets is a noble person.

Gu Lei and his three companions were not real bandits, but brothers from a declining escort agency. Due to a disaster, the agency was disbanded, and they were reluctant to leave, and chose to continue guarding the empty city.

It is located in Xinghua Village, ten miles away from Taohua Village. The terrain is a bit higher, but the only good thing is that it is very close to Beiqiu Market, only two miles away.

After getting off the horse and looking at the defeated yard, before entering the house, he heard a violent cough coming from inside. Several people immediately rushed in and shouted anxiously: "Madam, are you okay?"

Hu Luanfei suddenly widened his eyes, stuck his head in from outside the door, and quietly observed the situation inside.

On the shabby wooden bed lay a skinny woman. She looked like she had been ill for a long time but not so sick that she looked haggard. Although her face was pale, she still looked delicate.

How should I put it? She was just the right size for her condition, like Lin Daiyu.

"Guests?" she asked weakly.

The men immediately helped her up and gathered around to explain: "That's our sister. We kidnapped her to take care of you."

"Huh? Tied?"

The woman was excited and tried to sit up.

She takes two breaths after each sentence she speaks, and is often out of breath. She is really comparable to Lin Daiyu.

Gu Lei quickly suppressed her and said quickly: "She is the maid we hired to take care of you."

Hu Luanfei smiled with a fake smile. After all, she was indeed a maid. She just served the emperor in the past. Now that she came here, it didn’t matter who she served. She called out sweetly, “Sister…”

"Call her sister-in-law!" the four men corrected in unison.

The woman waved her hands and said weakly, "It's all right. Just don't scare the girl. Ahem... "

Hu Luanfei was suddenly confused. If he remembered correctly, what he heard just now seemed to be four men calling a woman "niangzi" at the same time.

Niangzi can be translated as wife, which means - these four men are all the husbands of women? !

"You..." She pointed at a few people and wanted to ask, but when she saw the woman fell asleep due to exhaustion, she swallowed her words back into her stomach.

The men were busy settling the women down before they had time to explain.

Gu Lei said dejectedly: "Ling'er has tuberculosis and has not been cured. I'm afraid she won't live long. We thought of finding someone to accompany her."

"Have you asked the doctor?"

"I asked, but the doctor was helpless."

"If it's just ordinary tuberculosis, it shouldn't be incurable." Hu Luanfei murmured, pursed his lips, and then thought of someone, "I know Xuanyuan Yuqing, the doctor of Baishan Hall. Do you need to change doctors?"

Gu Lei shook his head. "We invited him. He said he wanted to treat tuberculosis, but he was still short of a medicine."

"What medicine?"

Gu Lei asked Ming Hu to bring the prescription. The missing medicine was circled in red pen. It was called donkey-hide gelatin beads.

"What are donkey hide gelatin beads, in the long fields or on the mountains?"

"Ejiao beads are made from fried clam powder."

"Clam powder?"

What the hell is clam powder?

Hu Luanfei's brain isn't working very well, and he really wants to have a computer to search on Baidu.

Gu Lei said awkwardly: "The raw materials for clam powder are in the sea. We need to go find it, but we are afraid that no one will take care of my wife, so we tricked you and tied you up and brought you here."

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, Hu Luanfei really wanted to say.

It's just that we just met and didn't know each other's background. If I suddenly cured someone's wife's illness, I would be regarded as a monster. So it's better to keep silent.

Several men began to pack up and prepare to leave. Gu Lei was still wiping the woman's hands and feet, looking at her again and again with reluctance.

In the end, he couldn't bear it and was in a hurry to return to Taohua Village. Hu Luanfei sighed and stopped several men who were about to go out. "Don't mess around. I think she is lucky. She may recover from this disease tomorrow."

One sentence completely ignited everyone's hope.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." As soon as he nodded, they surrounded him like a whirlwind, asking in unison: "Do you have a magic potion or a spell?"

A word of advice awakened Hu Luanfei, who suddenly remembered how he used magic to fool Qi Siriao before, and he now had an idea.

"My exclusive secret method can cure it, but you can't be present."

"This..." One of the men hesitated. His name seemed to be Nian Shu. He frowned slightly and looked at her suspiciously. "You were stopped by us and you didn't even have the ability to escape. How can you have the secret method to save people?"

"Is there a conflict between my inability to escape and my ability to save people?"

The other three said in unison: "No conflict."

"That's right. It's not that I can't escape, but I want to see what tricks you guys are up to. See the horse outside? I tamed it myself. Big brother, you led the horse just now to feel its temperament."

"Lie, no outsiders are allowed to approach, not even the reins are allowed to touch. This is truly a rare and good horse."

As she spoke, the woman started coughing violently again.

The men rushed over, feeling distressed. They looked so hateful, as if they wished they could pass the tuberculosis to them.

Hu Luanfei advised: "Instead of looking for the future far away, it is better to leave the future to me."

The men looked at each other. Nian Shu looked away, unable to make up his mind. "What do you think? If you agree, I have no objection."

Ming Hu also stood on Nian Shu's side and said, "Ling'er is already terminally ill. If we leave, we may never see her again. Anyway, it won't work. Let her try. If she really has the ability, won't we be lucky?"

Qian Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a while. His frowning brows looked so powerless under the light. "I have no opinion either. It's up to you."

Gu Lei is obviously the person in charge among them, and everything concerning women must be approved by him.

Hu Luanfei thought, even without Gu Lei's consent, they had won with three votes, so why should they let that one vote negate it?

Fortunately, Gu Lei was thoughtful and nodded without thinking too much. "Ling'er is weak, you have to be very careful. If you need help, just shout and we will be waiting outside."

"Just bring me a bowl."

Finally, the bowls were brought and a few people closed the door and waited outside.

Hu Luanfei returned to the space and scooped out a bowl of water. He gently helped the woman who was coughing non-stop, "Good sister, drink some water."

Perhaps it was because the stream water in the space was sweet, or perhaps it was because the cells in the body of the long-term patient needed to be activated, she couldn't wait to drink it as soon as the bowl reached her mouth.

The disease is getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye. A woman choked when she drank water too quickly, and her voice is much clearer than before.

She sighed, leaned against the head of the bed and gasped. Her body was recovering rapidly and her vision was beginning to become clear.

The originally dull eyes seemed to have been washed, becoming watery, black and bright. The cells in the skin were also activated, shedding a layer of dead skin, and the strong stench emitted filled the entire room with odor.
