Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 108 It seems that the Xie Mansion has a big secret

"After I separated from you, I picked up a dying person on the way back. I thought the totem on his hand was special, so I threw him into the space." Li Yuening was annoyed.

Xie Shi, "What totem?"

Li Yuening dipped her hand in the tea and drew a circle and a cross on the table. Finally, it became a puddle of water. She wiped it with her hand in annoyance, "Oh, you can see for yourself."

After saying that, he took Xie Shi to the man’s room.

Xie Shi stood in front of the couch and looked at him. The man was wearing a black suit and had a slender body. His long hair covered his cheeks so his face could not be seen clearly. There was a dent on his chest, which looked like the mark of a handprint.

The hand resting on the edge of the couch had thick calluses on the knuckles, which showed that it was a hand that had been holding weapons for many years. Finally, he saw the totem that Li Yuening mentioned, a skull with a sword across it, which was really weird.

"He only has one breath left. Do you think we can save him? I was planning to have Uncle Feng come in tomorrow to take a look. If he is a trouble, then..." Li Yuening listened to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this for now. If he can hold on until tomorrow, it means he is not destined to die. We can save him. If not..."

Li Yuening understood what was not finished. Sometimes, the couple had a very good understanding of each other.

"There is one more thing. Feiyi is in trouble." Li Yuening told Xie Shi the news sent back by Qingyi. "The situation in Nanshan is worse than we expected.

Maybe the leader of the Seven Killings Hall is too young and only knows how to stop killing with killing. Now many people in the martial arts world want to quit but are being hunted down. They can’t catch him, but their families in the sect suffer.”

"I told Feiyi not to be careless at the beginning, but it seems that he was careless after all. Feiyi is the best at light work. As long as he doesn't encounter a top master, it should be no problem for him to escape if he wants to, unless he encounters a master or there is something he cannot escape from." Xie Shi rubbed his fingers.

Li Yuening had long discovered that he had this problem. He liked to rub his fingers when he was nervous or couldn't figure something out. "Don't worry too much. We will set out tomorrow and ride as fast as we can. We will arrive in half a month. With Feiyi's intelligence, he can survive."

The two walked towards Shiyueju, and Li Yuening asked, "Did your trip go smoothly?"

Xie Shi, "That old man passed away last year. Now his eldest son is in charge. Due to his personality problems, the family is not doing well now. I told him my request and he agreed without hesitation. Maybe he had been suppressed for too long and finally saw a way out, so he couldn't wait to agree."

Li Yuening, finally there is good news, "This is good, a tree that is moved will die, a person who moves will live, as long as you have hands, you can live anywhere."

"However, he asked us to cover the travel expenses for his family along the way."

"Huh? He didn't sign a contract to sell himself, so why should we be responsible?"

Xie Shi took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Contract, 10-year contract, 5 taels of silver per month, the whole family is here, I agree."

Li Yuening took it and looked at it carefully, raising her eyebrows, "Sure enough, there is no business without fraud."

"I originally only wanted to sign Ge Da alone, but he was afraid that I would ignore his family, so he insisted that the whole family come with him, so I had no choice but to agree."

Li Yuening looked at the paper full of handprints, some large and some small, and said, "This family is really prosperous."

"It's true. The two brothers have nine children. The eldest is about to have a grandchild, and the youngest son is only four or five years old."

Hearing this, Li Yuening thought that there was no contraception in Da Jin. In theory, as long as the couple had sexual intercourse and both the man and the woman were in good health, it was possible for the woman to get pregnant before her menstrual period.

Then why have Lu and Feng never gotten pregnant after so many years of giving birth?

Let's not talk about Feng for now. Xie An's mind is not entirely on her.

With how close Uncle Xie and Mrs. Lu were, it was impossible for them to have only three children. You know, the Xie Fan brothers were only one year apart in age, and Xie Hang and Xie Yi were less than one year old. This was very unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Li Yuening asked, "Also, none of the concubines of the old man and Uncle Xie are pregnant. This is too abnormal."

Xie Shi didn't expect Li Yuening to ask this all of a sudden. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "No, no one is paying attention to this."

Li Yuening, "Every family believes in having many children and good fortune. I don't believe that the old man has never thought about this. It's just that you don't know it. It seems that the Xie family has a big secret." Li Yuening's eyes flashed with gossip.

Xie Shi had no choice but to change the subject: "I'll go wash up."

"Go ahead." Li Yuening waved her hand.

After standing there for a while, Li Yuening went back to the house, took a book on making spices from the bookshelf, and began to read it. She had just made the sachet, but she had not yet decided what spices to put in it for Xie Shi.

Pine resin is refreshing and sandalwood is regulating qi. The two are neutralized, with pine resin as the main element and sandalwood as the secondary element, supplemented by cypress leaves, agarwood and honey.

For powder preparation, sandalwood and rosin are ground into powder, 6% rosin, 2% sandalwood, 1% each of oriental cypress leaves and agarwood, and glued with honey to make into pills. It has a strong aroma and can be used to wake people up from dreams.

Xie Shi came in from outside wearing casual clothes and with his hair loose. He saw bottles and jars, ash press, incense shovel, incense spoon, incense brush, and a palm-sized stone mill in front of Li Yuening, which were very exquisite.

"I haven't played with it for a long time, so my hands are not very good at it." Li Yuening muttered.

Xie Shi understood, "I think you've adapted quite well."

Li Yuening opened the small incense burner next to her, poured the excess mixed spices directly into it, and lit it with a fire stick. The aroma spread out, a mixture of the herbal scent of pine resin and the elegant sandalwood, as if she was surrounded by greenery and with Buddha in her company.

Xie Shi teased, "Your combination is quite clever."

Li Yuening also knew it was not good, "It's my first time making it, and I didn't get the dosage right, so I'll just use this for now."

Li Yuening threw the sachet to Xie Shi, then stood up and walked towards the bed.

Xie Shi grabbed the sachet and put it close to his nose. It had a sweeter fragrance than the one in the incense burner, so it must have something else added to it.

"Hmm, it smells good, I like it very much." After saying that, he put it on his waist and gestured, with the crescent side facing outwards. The blue color would match better with white clothes.

There was a rustling sound. Li Yuening took a look and saw Xie Shi searching in the cabinet.

"what are you doing?"

"I remember there was a moon-white dress, new, how come it's gone?"

Li Yuening, "I've already taken it out and put it on the screen."

Xie Shi stood up and said with a smile: "The one who knows me best is Yue Ning."

Li Yuening, "I don't want to bother with you."

He happily hung the sachet on a corner of the screen. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Xie Shi was absent-minded for a while. When he went to bed, Li Yuening was already fast asleep.

Perhaps because she felt at ease, Li Yuening slept particularly soundly these days. Xie Shi covered her with a quilt, then turned sideways, holding her hand and also fell asleep.

With something on their minds, they woke up before dawn and came out of the space. The man in white was already waiting at the door.

The big dark circles under her eyes showed that Bai Yi did not sleep well that night. "My lord, my lady, the carriage is ready and we can set off at any time."

"Well, my wife and I will go to a clinic. You go to Jinling Inn and give a message to Yuwen Kan and Yun Zhuo, asking them to meet outside the city gate."

Bai Yi, "Yes."

Li Yuening took out Tianque from the space. The sharp sword flashed with cold light and was thrown under the seat of the carriage by Li Yuening. The small crossbow was tied to her arm. Going out is different from being in Jinling. From this moment on, she was like a female general about to go to the battlefield.

Xie Shi drove the carriage to the place where the hemp cloth was stored. He did not bring the things back last night. Li Yuening put them into the space, said something to Xie Shi, entered the space from the carriage, went to Luowang, explained some things to Ziyi, and hurried out.

Xie Shi bought breakfast and was waiting for her. Li Yuening looked at the steamed buns and soy milk and said, "Buy one more portion. I'll let Ye Mei'er out later."
