It was late at night, and the four of them packed up and went to bed.

Xu Si didn't sleep very well. His dream was full of strange things. Sometimes he was chased by ghosts, sometimes he tried to catch ghosts, and sometimes he turned into a ghost himself.

When he woke up, he felt very tired. Shen Yanchen next to him was still sleeping. Xu Si quietly put on his clothes and left the room.

In the yard, Shen Anyi and Shen Jingchuan were boxing with great vigor.

Seeing Xu Si coming out, Lou Yuexin avoided the father and son, walked over and touched her head.

"You don't have a fever, that's good. Why don't you get some more sleep?"

"I'm used to waking up at this time. It's uncomfortable to sleep again."

Xu Si rubbed his aching temple and felt much better after washing his face.

Soon, everyone else got up. When Qi Ning saw her, he came over to her without saying a word, just like a little tail, following her wherever she went.

On the way to the store, Shen Anyi briefly told everyone about the situation of the man he rescued yesterday so that everyone could be prepared.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw a man sitting with his back to them, standing tall. After hearing the sound, he turned around with a wary look in his eyes.

It seemed that this was the person who pulled her down. Xu Si looked at him and inexplicably felt a little pain in his ankle.

"Are you awake?" Shen Anyi asked first.

The man narrowed his eyes, very alert, "Who are you?"

"I rescued you from the river last night." Shen Anyi didn't say much, but first described the situation.

"Why am I in the river?"

?

Xu Si and the others were a little confused.

"How do we know why you are in the river? We don't know you."

"I can't remember."

"Then do you remember your name?" Xu Si asked tentatively.

No way, they encountered the clichéd amnesia plot?

"I don't remember, I don't remember anything." The man suddenly held his forehead with his hand, his expression somewhat painful.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Shen Anyi hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be nervous. I'll get you some clothes that I changed for you yesterday. Take a look. You never know what you might think of."

Then he went to a corner of the yard, drove away Dahuang and Xiaobai who were waiting there and smelling the scent, opened the basket, and an indescribable smell spread out.

Shen Anyi frowned, picked up the clothes with two fingers, held his breath, and handed it to the man with his face turned sideways.

There was a strong smell on the clothes, and Xu Si and others couldn't help but cover their noses.

The man was also a little disgusted, "Why is it so smelly? Is this really my clothes?"

"Your clothes became like this after the doctor gave you an injection last night. I observed that the material was not bad, so I left it for you."

After hearing this, the man had to endure the discomfort and look at the stained clothes.

The fabric is soft, and the auspicious cloud pattern on it is even embroidered on both sides, which makes it look very valuable.

Shen Anyi suddenly thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, you had a jade pendant on your neck at that time. I put it under your pillow after you changed your clothes. Did you see it?"

The man shook his head. After waking up, he was faced with an unfamiliar place and he had no memory. He was a little confused and had no time to look for anything.

Shen Anyi then went back to the house and found the jade pendant. It was made of flawless white jade and had a Pixiu carved on it.

Everyone watched the man stare for a long time and asked curiously, "How is it? Did you remember anything?"

"Not impressed."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

"Then sir, please take him to the government office to register, in case his family comes looking for him." Lou Yuexin gave instructions while preparing the food.

Otherwise, such a grown-up person can't just stay with them for no reason. It would be ridiculous. They don't have the spare money to support anyone else at the moment.

Shen Anyi nodded, but the man did not move.

"What if I escape and report to the police and get discovered by others, which puts me in danger?"

"What should we do? If this is the case, we have to report it to the police. Your safety is one thing, but ours is not another, right?"

Xu Si rolled his eyes, walked forward and pulled the man up from the chair.

The man was already very weak, and was pushed directly to Shen Anyi by Xu Si.

He was a little dumbfounded, "You are so rude, woman."

Shen Yanchen couldn't help but think of his previous evaluation of Xu Si. It seemed like a lifetime ago and he couldn't remember when he stopped feeling that way.

Xu Si didn't care about what the man said. Just let him say it. It wouldn't hurt him. He turned around and went into the kitchen.

There are so many things to do. Wasting time here is losing money.

Considering that he would be busy later, Shen Anyi grabbed the man's arm and led him towards the yamen.

"A Si, you go and have a rest, we'll do it." Lou Yuexin had just mixed the cold dishes when she saw Xu Si lifting up his sleeves to knead the dough, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Mom, I can do it."

"That won't work either. The doctor said yesterday that you need to rest." Lou Yuexin refused flatly. There was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Su Jinyue also chimed in, "There are still many days to work, so it doesn't matter if you take a few days off. Keeping your body healthy is more important than anything else."

Qi Ning also raised her little face seriously, "Second aunt, you must listen to the doctor, this is the only way to stay healthy."

Xu Si couldn't help but smile, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. If you're too busy, just call me."

She found a place to sit down. Everyone was in the kitchen, so it was more lively this way.

"Do you think that person has real amnesia or is he faking it?" Xu Si was a little confused.

Drowning may cause brain hypoxia, leading to brain damage and affecting memory, but this is too much of a coincidence.

"I don't know about that, but since he finally dared to report to the government office, he should not be a threat."

Xu Si thought about it and decided to stop worrying about it.

However, according to the routine of the novels she had read, the people the heroine picked up by accident all had a great background, either they were good-looking and rich or they were powerful or capable.

Since she has traveled through time, even if she doesn't have the treatment of a heroine, she can't just pick up someone who eats for free.

Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Anyi came back with the man.

"I met the yamen runner Qian and told him about this. He asked someone to draw the young man's appearance and also recorded the time and clothes we found him. He said he would notify us if there was any news."

"Okay," Lou Yuexin nodded, and then said, "What are your plans, sir?"

The man lost his initial caution. After all, the other party had saved his life. He bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life. Please give me a temporary place to stay. When my family comes to find me, I will reward you handsomely."

After some discussion, everyone agreed.

Save him to the end, send the Buddha to the west. Letting him leave now is not a good idea.

Besides, I have already spent a lot of money on him, so if there is a way to get it back, I will do it.

According to Xu Si, part of it is the sunk cost, and the other part is regarded as investment.
