In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Just like that, Shen Wenjun turned around and ran towards the inn, followed closely by Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin.

When the three of them returned to the inn, the fire was already very big. Before Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin could react, Shen Wenjun rushed towards the fire without hesitation.

By the time Su Zhizhi reacted, Shen Wenjun had disappeared. Su Zhizhi subconsciously wanted to follow Shen Wenjun into the inn, but was grabbed back by Xie Chengjin.

"Are you crazy? You followed him to the inn! Didn't you see how big the fire was?" Xie Chengjin scolded Su Zhizhi.

"I'm just anxious." Su Zhizhi defended herself. After that, she stretched her neck anxiously and stood on tiptoe to look into the inn. Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, Su Zhizhi's heart was in suspense again.

"Shen Wenjun! Shen Wenjun! Are you okay?" Su Zhizhi shouted towards the inn, but the only response she got was dead silence.

"Shen Wenjun, where are you? Don't scare me!" Su Zhizhi shouted subconsciously.

Just when Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin thought that Shen Wenjun was in great danger, a figure appeared in their sight.

"I'm here!" Shen Wenjun yelled at Su Zhizhi in an embarrassed manner. After that, he wanted to rush out, but at this moment, a thick piece of wood on the beam fell from above with a "bang", blocking Shen Wenjun's way.

In an instant, the fire surrounded Shen Wenjun.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhizhi immediately took out the protective shield from her universal capsule and threw it to Shen Wenjun without hesitation. While throwing it, Su Zhizhi also loudly reminded Shen Wenjun, "Put it on, it's fireproof."

Seeing this, Shen Wenjun quickly took the protective shield thrown by Su Zhizhi and put it on, then picked up his books and rushed out of the fire.

"Are you okay?" Su Zhizhi asked Shen Wenjun.

Shen Wenjun smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for risking your life to save me."

However, such a warm scene seemed particularly dazzling and unsettling to Xie Chengjin. Ever since Shen Wenjun appeared, Xie Chengjin felt insecure. Thinking of this, Xie Chengjin's eyes darkened a little.

At this moment, Shen Wenjun subconsciously touched the purse on his waist, but found that there was nothing on his waist. Shen Wenjun's face changed immediately.

"What's wrong? Are you injured somewhere?" Su Zhizhi saw all the changes in Shen Wenjun and asked hurriedly.

Shen Wenjun smiled bitterly and said truthfully, "No, it's because I'm out of money. How can I go to Beijing to take the exam without money?"

Shen Wenjun's face was full of sorrow.

After listening to this, Su Zhizhi turned and looked at Xie Chengjin. She had no money on her, so she could only pin her hopes on Xie Chengjin, who should have money.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin with a burning gaze. Xie Chengjin was slightly startled when he heard her. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, in order to play the role of a good husband, he could only nod his head and said, "It's okay, I still have money on me. Brother Shen, why don't you use my money to pay for the subsequent trip to Beijing to take the exam!"

Although Xie Chengjin looked kind on the surface, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Chengjin was full of resentment.

This action of his didn't escape Shen Wenjun's notice. After sensing the hostility emanating from Xie Chengjin, Shen Wenjun quickly said to Su Zhizhi, "In this case, I'll have to trouble Master Xie a lot. I wonder if Master Xie is willing to do this. If he doesn't want to, he must say so. I don't like to take advantage of others either."

Shen Wenjun's words immediately shocked Su Zhizhi. She really didn't expect that Shen Wenjun, who always had her own pride, would say such a sarcastic thing.

Because Xie Chengjin had money and would have to pay for the rest of the journey, Su Zhizhi didn't want to offend him, so she decisively spoke from Xie Chengjin's perspective.

"Oh, what are you thinking about? Xie Chengjin is not that kind of person at all. Okay, okay, don't dwell on this. The most important thing is for us to rush to the capital."

Su Zhizhi cheerfully tried to smooth things over.

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chengjin was in a good mood when he saw Su Zhizhi standing on his side. He quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, let's hurry up and get on with our journey. Time is so precious, how can we waste it?"

Seeing this, Shen Wenjun didn't know what to say. She could only shut up and followed Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi on the road to the capital.

On the road.

While Shen Wenjun was urinating, Xie Chengjin quickly grabbed Su Zhizhi's arm and warned her, "Stay away from him. I have a feeling he has some serious plans."

Su Zhizhi was slightly stunned, and soon she could sense the strong resentment and jealousy emanating from Xie Chengjin, so she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing Su Zhizhi nod and agree to him, Xie Chengjin immediately showed a satisfied smile.

It happened that Shen Wenjun also came back at this time. Seeing Shen Wenjun's clothes being torn by the fire and looking very miserable, Xie Chengjin immediately softened his heart and stopped deliberately targeting Shen Wenjun.

In this way, the three of them rushed to the town.

As they were walking, Xie Chengjin suddenly said, "Stop."

Su Zhizhi looked up at Xie Chengjin in surprise and asked, "What's going on?"

"I just saw a clinic and I went there to buy some medicine for Brother Shen. I saw that some parts of his body were burned by the fire." Xie Chengjin explained.

After saying that, he got off the carriage and went into the clinic without caring about the reactions of the two people behind him. After a while, he came back with the ointment.

"Here you go. Remember to apply it on the wound three times a day." Xie Chengjin handed the ointment to Shen Wenjun.

"Thank you." Shen Wenjun took the ointment from Xie Chengjin's hand with mixed feelings.

Shen Wenjun was very surprised at first. He didn't expect Xie Chengjin to buy medicine for him. When he first saw Xie Chengjin's indifferent attitude towards Su Zhizhi, he thought Xie Chengjin thought Su Zhizhi was a burden and deliberately abandoned her.

As a result, Shen Wenjun recalled Xie Chengjin's considerate care for Su Zhizhi and herself along the way, and Shen Wenjun suddenly felt that she had misunderstood Xie Chengjin, and immediately Shen Wenjun let go of her prejudice against Xie Chengjin.

After resting in the town, the three of them prepared to leave.

Although Shen Wenjun's injuries were still somewhat serious, fortunately they did not delay his journey.

Su Zhizhi still wanted Shen Wenjun to rest for a while, but Shen Wenjun insisted on continuing on the journey. Su Zhizhi had no choice but to agree.

But as Shen Wenjun said, they have already delayed for too long, and if they delay any further, it will be too late.

After packing up their things, the three of them headed out of the town.

Looking at the vendors on the roadside, Su Zhizhi rarely felt like going shopping. Just as she was about to buy something at the stall, she heard a flurry of footsteps behind her.
