Seeing that Aunt Liu hadn't returned yet, Liu Wenwen wanted to go and see her. She didn't know what the doctor would say. If she wasn't well, she could comfort her. After all, she was living in someone else's home, so she had to show some respect. She told Shen Runze about her thoughts. Shen Runze thought that since there were so many people in Baohe Hall, they should be fine, so he told Liu Wenwen.

"You go, you are all women so it's good to comfort each other. I will read some and remember more. Next time this guy may not borrow it. You go." Shen Runze looked at Liu Wenwen and whispered

Liu Wenwen nodded and walked in. He saw a doctor taking a patient's pulse, stroking his beard as he felt the pulse, seemingly lost in thought. Several medicine boys were nearby, some writing something down on paper, others fumbling around to get medicine. Several people were standing behind the patient, looking impatient, nervous, and distressed. Aunt Liu was nowhere to be seen, which struck Liu Wenwen as odd. He quickly walked over and spoke to one of the kind-looking women.

"Aunt, have you seen a lady wearing gray-brown clothes and with a blue floral cloth wrapped on her head, who is slightly older than you?" Liu Wenwen gestured with her hands and said this. Because she was cute and young, such actions added a bit of childishness to her. The woman smiled at Liu Wenwen and pointed towards the backyard.

"It seems that he followed an old woman to the back alley. You go look for him." Liu Wenwen thanked the aunt. He walked directly to the backyard alley. Before he got there, he heard Aunt Liu say, "What do you mean? It sounds like a quarrel." Liu Wenwen loved to listen to all kinds of gossip and strange things in school. When he came to this strange world, he knew there was a secret after hearing the first sentence. Curiosity prompted Liu Wenwen to walk to the corner of the wall and poke his ears out again and again, afraid that others would know that Liu Wenwen was eavesdropping. While listening, Liu Wenwen dug a hole with a branch and stirred it, pretending to be playing with mud, but in fact he was sticking to the corner of the wall, listening to the secret. Liu Wenwen grinned and smiled secretly, hehe.

At the beginning, it was fine, very ordinary, until she heard "The boy and girl in my sister's family are really good-looking. Don't say 40 taels, they can be sold for 60 taels, sold..." There was a lot more after that, Liu Wenwen didn't listen carefully, but Aunt Liu didn't refute. What did she mean? It was obvious. Aunt Liu was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Not to mention Aunt Liu, Liu Wenwen, who was in a different position, also felt that the old woman who came up with the idea was a good idea. It could save her family without paying too much price. If she hadn't been the victim of their conspiracy, she would have been persuaded by the old woman. Sure enough, she didn't wait too long, and only heard Aunt Liu say

"Sister, don't go. Teach me." Then she could vaguely hear some words about drugs. Liu Wenwen could guess roughly what it was. After all, she had read novels and watched TV dramas for so many years, and they were nothing more than the same kind of things, putting some drugs in the food at night. She could probably guess what it was without listening to what happened next. Seeing that there were no people around, Liu Wenwen carefully stepped on the branches and walked lightly, for fear of accidentally stepping on the branches and being discovered by them.

Liu Wenwen walked for a while and saw that they could no longer hear her, then she suddenly ran towards the direction where Shen Runze was.

Shen Runze had been sitting in the front hall reading, thinking about going up the mountain with Wenwen tomorrow. Even if he couldn't find any herbs, he could find some dry firewood, wild fruits, mushrooms and other wild game. It would be good to make some money by selling them in the town. Then he could take it slowly and build up his business. Then he could go to school and take the examination to become a student. In this way, no one would bully him and Wenwen, and they would be able to gain a foothold in this strange world without having to rely on anyone. Then he could find a way to go back to the modern world, which would be more troublesome. Wenwen should also want to go home. After all, he couldn't stand the food and accommodation here, let alone Wenwen. Before he could pull his thoughts back, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps running towards him. Shen Runze hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Wenwen. He looked back again to make sure that no one was chasing her, and hurriedly pulled the person aside and asked.

"Wenwen, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Shen Runze said as he raised his hand to tuck Liu Wenwen's flying hair behind her ear. Liu Wenwen looked left and right, making sure there was no one around, and crawled to Shen Runze's ear. Shen Runze's ears were itchy from the airflow of Liu Wenwen's voice, and he couldn't concentrate and kept moving around. Liu Wenwen knew that his old problem had come back, so she quickly pulled his ear and twisted it.

"Something big has happened. Aunt Liu listened to an old hag and wants to drug us during dinner tonight, knock us out, and sell us out," Liu Wenwen said to Shen Runze with a serious expression. Shen Runze looked back at Liu Wenwen with wide eyes after hearing this. Shen Runze knew that Liu Wenwen could not be lying. He could only say that people's hearts were unpredictable. The two grew up together for more than ten years. The biggest malice they encountered was that someone in school said bad things about Liu Wenwen. Liu Wenwen was so angry that she wanted to die. Shen Runze just acted as Liu Wenwen's audience and listened to her complaints. He had never encountered such a thing where someone would sacrifice others for their own benefit. This experience taught them a lesson and planted a psychological shadow.

"Well, you stay in the dark and watch to see if Aunt Liu really goes to buy the drugs. I'll go back to Qingxi Village to get the school uniform and the stone medium. Tonight, we won't go back to Aunt Liu's house. Before she finds out that we know their secret, we'll sneak away. Be careful not to expose yourself when you peek. Afterwards, you wait for me at the East Gate." After saying this, he was about to leave when he felt a hand grab him. He looked up at Liu Wenwen and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"A Run, I'm scared. I don't want to be separated from you. I don't trust anyone except you. Let me go back with you to get clothes. Anyway, I feel that she is definitely going to harm us. It's useless for us to observe her secretly. It's better for us to take things and leave together. There is nothing to keep as souvenirs. It's better for us to act together now." Liu Wenwen looked at Shen Runze, and Shen Runze also felt that it made sense. After all, he had not considered it very carefully. After Wenwen's words, he was more thoughtful.

"Let's go, it seems like they are almost done talking," Shen Runze said.

Liu Wenwen nodded, and watched Shen Runze walk a few steps into Baohetang, then walked to the waiter and said loudly to him,

"Brother, my sister wants to see the clay figurines. I can't get rid of her, so I plan to go with her. If an old lady asks about us later, we'll just say we went to see the clay figurines. Please let her know." After saying that, he bowed and pulled Liu Wenwen out. When they reached the alley, he took a handful of mud from the ground and smeared it on Liu Wenwen's face. Liu Wenwen refused at first, but after thinking about it, she stopped hiding. After all, the two of them were too white and could be seen in the crowd at a glance. It would be difficult to blend into the crowd without smearing some black on their faces. After Shen Runze finished smearing Liu Wenwen's face, he also smeared some mud on himself, covering all the exposed skin with mud. The two looked at each other, thinking they were so ugly and so black, like a country girl and a silly boy.

There was no time to make people laugh now, and the two of them sped up their pace at the same time.
