After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 395 Madam Weirui

Ling Feng was very perceptive. After learning that these people were from the border town army, he understood that they would not do anything to him.

I saw them coming with big buckets of water. While they were still talking, I immediately asked two of them to take a few water bags to the mountain stream to fetch water, otherwise we would not be able to rob them.

"Ma'am, the water is coming."

Ling Feng handed Lin Ting's special water bag to her. After she took a sip, she handed it to Bai Lu to put it on the carriage and gave instructions to others.

"Ling Feng, tell everyone to pack up and get ready. Let's go."

"It's Madam!"

Xiao Jingchuan sat upright on the stone, his left hand holding the scabbard that should have been hanging at his waist, with no expression on his face.

Lin Ting looked at him. Since he was from the border town army, he must know General Han. Lin Ting really wanted to know about General Han's condition.

However, this person is very vigilant. If he asks this question, he will definitely not let go. For a businessman, knowing that a general in the army is injured, then this matter is not ordinary.

When Lin Ting was stunned, Xiao Jingchuan turned to look at her. His eyes, like sharp blades, made Lin Ting's heart shiver.

"Is there something wrong, Madam Weirui?"

Lin Ting shook his head and smiled: "It's okay!"

Soon Bai Lu and Ling Feng had almost finished packing, and Lin Ting asked the other four villagers to get on the remaining carriage of Han Yian and his men.

As for Uncle Shi, who was more seriously injured, Lin Ting asked him to ride in a carriage with Lin Ting and Bai Lu so that she could take care of the uncle's wound.

After packing up their things, the group continued on their way. Lin Ting didn't notice at all that Xiao Jingchuan was staring at them after they left.

"Commander, do you think there's something wrong with Madam Weirui?"

Yijia followed Xiao Jingchuan's gaze and looked at the convoy of Lin Ting and the others leaving. This lady was very low-key and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Ting.

"It's a contradiction. They clearly want to come to the border town to make money during the national crisis. Which businessman is not cruel and cold-blooded?

But just now, Madam Weirui bandaged the villagers' wounds herself, treating them with great skill. She even distributed meat porridge to several villagers and sent them home in her own carriage. Normally, isn't that a contradiction?"

Yes, normally speaking, there is still a war in the border town, and those who dare to come here to gamble on the national disaster at this time are all ruthless people.

And what Lin Ting showed just now was that he did not show any disgust towards the villagers, which was not something a person like him would do.

"Coach, maybe we have a stereotype about people like this. What if that lady is both cruel and loving?"

Yijia wanted to ease the atmosphere. Lin Ting was just a businessman and couldn't cause any trouble in the border town.

Xiao Jingchuan sneered. Just based on the tone of Lin Ting's words to him just now, he felt disgusted.

"They are just blinded by greed. There are only two businessmen in the world that I admire, and they are the Lin sisters."

Lin Ting and Lin Lin are not only businessmen, but also the wives of important officials in the court. Since the war in the border town broke out, the two have sent a lot of supplies to the army.

And the armor he is wearing now is of the best quality and workmanship.

"Yes, Madam Lin is very kind to the Border Town army. I can't say anything about that. But I heard from Mr. Jiang that Madam Lin might also come to Border Town. I wonder if that's true?"

Xiao Jingchuan knew the plans of Mr. Jiang and his father, so in this battle, he could only win and not lose.

Unfortunately, the weather was not as they wished, and the severe drought caused them heavy losses.

"Whether it's true or not, as long as Madam Lin comes, I will prepare the best and safest mansion for her, and I will definitely protect her."

Lin Ke didn't know how important he was in the hearts of Xiao Jingchuan and the border town army. They headed all the way towards the border town.

Because we had to send a few uncles to their village, we had to take a detour in the middle. It was considered fast if we arrived at the border town before dawn.

"Uncle Shi, can you tell me about the current situation in Border Town? You know I'm going there to do business, but I don't quite understand the real situation of Border Town."

Uncle Shi is a very simple and honest person. He not only treated Lin Ting's injuries but also provided him with food. He treated Lin Ting like a noble person.

Whatever the noble man asked, he would answer truthfully based on what he knew.

“Madam, you may have only heard about the chaos in the border town. The actual situation in the border town is even more miserable than the rumors.

The Xiluo people burned and looted, and the fields outside the city were burned. Coupled with the severe drought this year, the border town could not grow any food.

In the border town, the people were starving and poorly clothed, and they relied on the relief grain from the imperial court to survive every day.

For families with wells, a bucket of water as big as ours can be sold for five taels of silver when it is full.

The only people who can survive in the border towns nowadays are the wealthy families with some savings. Their properties and farmland are all here, so they are reluctant to leave."

Uncle Shi's eyes were red as he talked about the situation in the border town, because his family was in the same situation, eating the leftover corn from last year.

Fortunately, with the corn seeds given by Mrs. Lin, they planted two crops last year, otherwise the whole family might have starved to death.

"so serious?"

Uncle Shi nodded: "Yes, there are beggars all over the streets, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children. Because they have no food, there will be frequent food snatching incidents.

Madam, when you get to the city, be careful not to reveal your money."

"it is good!"

Lin Ting probably understood what it was like inside. The sooner he knew, the sooner he could prepare himself mentally.

After sending Uncle Shi and his companions out of their village, Lin Ting followed the map and headed to the border town.

Inside the carriage, Bai Lu frowned, her face full of worry.

"Madam, the border town is in such a state of chaos. If you collect a large number of fox furs from the Xiluo people and bring them to Weirui Pavilion, it will not be an easy task. I am afraid..."

I am afraid that at that time, the people in the border town would not understand the lady’s painstaking efforts and would think that she was a traitor. By doing this kind of business at a high price, in the eyes of outsiders, the lady would become Xi Luo’s accomplice.

"Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet. There will always be a way out when the time comes."

The war has not been decided yet, so Lin Ting doesn't think about those things for now. He will know what will happen based on the actual situation when the day really comes.

The road was difficult to walk on at night, and they stopped and started many times. It was not until dawn that they reached the gate of the border town. Bai Lu took the pass and went down to show it to the gatekeeper.

However, the soldiers saw the people behind Lin Ting and his convoy first, and immediately arranged for Lin Ting and his convoy to move aside and let the people behind them enter the city first.

"The coach is back. Quick, everyone, please get out of the way."

Lin Ting lifted the car curtain and looked into Xiao Jingchuan's eyes.

Isn't this the general we met last night? They've just returned from fetching water.

Xiao Jingchuan rode past Lin Ting's carriage and turned to look at Lin Ting with a cold look.

After passing Lin Ting, a cavalry unit of theirs entered the city directly without any ultimatum.

After these people left, the soldiers guarding the city checked the pass given by Bai Lu and finally let Lin Ting and them in.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw the person who came to pick them up. Bai Lu trotted up to the person with a smile on her face, as if she had met an elder in her family.

"Aunt Jing! We finally meet again."
