Shen Li climbed onto the carriage, and Zi Su hurriedly lifted the curtain to let her in.

After sitting down, Shen Li called out to the window: "Banxia, ​​come in and eat together."

"Okay." Banxia climbed onto the carriage happily.

The carriage was not small, and the master and his two servants were not too crowded inside. The Shen family was still willing to do this kind of superficial work.

After all, we met a lot of people on the way back to Beijing, and we had to let people know that the Shen family was not only kind and righteous to the original wife who had lost her virginity, but also cared very much about the eldest girl who cried and was exiled to the village with her mother.

So, the carriages connecting her were spacious and comfortable.

Zi Su washed her hands, picked up the hare and prepared to help the girl tear the meat.

"Slow down," Shen Li whispered to stop them, then put her finger to her mouth, signaling them to be quiet. Then she put the rabbit meat close to her mouth and tried it. There was no alarm sound, "It's not poisonous, you can eat it."

Banxia and Zisu widened their eyes.

Shen Li picked up the bowl of porridge again, and just as she brought it close to her mouth, a beeping alarm sounded in her head.

"You can't eat this, it's poisonous."

Then check other food.

Fortunately, except for the rice porridge, everything else is non-toxic.

The two girls didn't dare to breathe as they watched Shen Li checking them one by one.

The girl is so amazing. She can tell whether something is poisonous or not just by bringing it under her nose and smelling it. It really is the blessing of the late lady, like divine help.

"Miss, you asked the servants to secretly pour out the porridge and tea these days. Are they poisonous?" Banxia asked in a low voice.

Shen Li nodded and listened to the noise outside.

"Yes, anything I ask you to throw away is poisoned."

Oh my god, that was so close.

Banxia covered her heart and thought, thankfully, she always listened to the girl and did whatever she told her to do. Otherwise, if she couldn't resist the temptation and drank a mouthful of rice porridge, she would be the one poisoned.

"Girl, who is so bad to poison you?" Banxia just asked and realized that she had asked a very stupid question.

Who else could it be besides those people in Beijing?

If that great general is really the girl's uncle, those people would be so scared that they wouldn't be able to sleep.

Think about how they treated the late wife?

How do you treat girls?

When the late Madam and the young lady left the capital, apart from the young lady's wet nurse and Dayong, there was also five-year-old myself and six-year-old Zi Su, the Shen family did not send anyone else to serve them.

If it weren't for Brother Dayong's hunting help, we would have starved to death with only the monthly allowance given to the young lady by the Shen family.

The Shen family took the former wife's property and threw the former wife and the girl out to dry. Now the person who supported the girl has come, and the Shen family can't afford to offend them. It would be strange if they didn't try their best to harm the girl.

"Miss, it must be that old evil ghost, Madam Li, who poisoned you. Otherwise, I will go out to scare her to death when she gets up at night, so that I won't get angry just by looking at her."

Banxia was angry. She took the wild rabbit that Shen Li broke for her and ate it while muttering.

"No need," Shen Li said calmly, "You and Zi Su will sit on the shaft of the cart later. No matter what happens, don't come in, and don't let outsiders disturb me."

The two girls looked up at Shen Li and nodded.

"I might be alone a lot from now on, so don't ask, and don't look. Just help me guard the door. You can only come in when I call you. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The maid nodded confusedly.

In fact, they didn't understand, but they discovered it after the lady drowned. It's always right to listen to the girl when there is something.

"Okay, eat quickly. When you're done, go out and keep an eye on them. I'll tell you how to deal with them after I'm done."

"Yes."

Banxia excitedly picked up a piece of cake and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Zi Su silently took the water bag and poured the rice porridge into it.

When she returned to a place with water, she would pretend to wash the water bag and rinse the porridge.

After the master and servants finished their meal, Mother Li came over to serve the dishes herself. Looking at the bowls of porridge that had been eaten clean, her face was filled with a smile.

......

The carriage started again and Shen Li entered the space again.

She came in just in time, the drip was almost finished. Shen Li checked the man's breath and changed a new bottle of medicine for him.

There was no need to rush out this time. Shen Li sat down and casually rummaged through the pile of black clothes that she had cut into pieces.

With a clang, a black sign fell out.

Shen Li picked up the sign in her hand, turned it over and over to look at it carefully, but she couldn't figure out what material it was made of.

It is not jade, nor gold or silver. The pattern on it is a ferocious tiger.

After putting the sign into his pocket, Shen Li continued to search for the fragments.

This time, I found a jade pendant, probably hung around the waist, entangled with the belt. I also found a purse with a few gold nuggets in it, but nothing else.

Pulling a quilt over the man, Shen Li suddenly thought of a question.

What if I'm not here when he wakes up? If I pull off the moisture-proof mat, I can see the shelf behind it, and my secret will be exposed, right?

No.

Can't let anyone know about this.

Shen Li quickly stood up, lifted the moisture-proof mat and went to the shelf to search.

After a while she came out with two pairs of chains.

First, fix the man's feet to the two corners of the mattress, and then use the same method to fix his hands to the other two corners of the mattress.

Looking at the person lying there locked in the shape of a big character, Shen Li chuckled.

The man moved at this smile.

Is he about to wake up?

Shen Li quickly squatted down and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Hmm." The man made a very weak sound in his throat. It was obvious that he wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't.

This is a person with strong vitality.

Shen Li admired him very much.

He lost so much blood, but didn't even receive a blood transfusion during the operation. He only roughly cleaned the sutures, and he was able to wake up as soon as the anesthetic wore off. This man's physical fitness and willpower are definitely top-notch.

"Don't move," Shen Li moistened his lips with a cotton swab dipped in water. "You are injured, seriously injured. I just finished the operation on you. You can't move now, nor can you drink water or eat."

After thinking about it, what else should I pay attention to during the operation?

Shen Li is not very proficient in this area and can only talk about what he knows.

"Don't move around, or you might break the stitches. Besides, I'm giving you an injection right now, and the needle is right on the back of your hand. If you move around and the needle comes out, I won't have the patience to put it back in."

The man's fingers moved, as if to verify Shen Li's statement.

"Those people are all dead," Shen Li adjusted the dripping speed and said lightly: "You are really lucky. You are still holding your breath even in that state. It's a blessing that you met me. If it were someone else, you would not have survived."

She knew the man could hear her because his chest began to rise and fall louder.

"I don't know where this is, nor do I know who you are. I've already saved you, so I'll take you to the capital," Shen Li said, looking down at the man. "I'll take all the jade pendants and gold from you as my consultation fee. I'll also give you the black plaque back when you recover. It's useless for me to keep it."

"Oh, and those dead people, they all have wooden tags on them. I guess those are their identification cards. They're all yours. Whether you seek revenge or repay a favor is your business. I don't want to get involved."
