Chapter 74: Everything is fine with a woman
The uncle's name was Zhang Chong. Later, Shen Zhi found out that he was a lieutenant general in the Yuanzhou army two years ago. He originally planned to go home to visit his family, but he was kidnapped on the way out with his colleague Lu Fei the night before he went home. He has been detained for two years. There are only his wife and children at home. I don't know if his wife and children can survive on the meager land.
Shen Zhi stepped forward and whispered, "Uncle Zhang, I have delayed my last visit to your wife until now. Please tell me your home address and I will leave tomorrow. Don't worry, I will disguise myself and go there quietly without exposing them."
Zhang Chong's eyes flickered, as if he was lost in a fog, and he asked, "Can we really go?"
Shen Zhi nodded.
Zhang Chong took out a worn purse from his bosom and handed it to Shen Zhi. "Give her the purse, she will believe you. Please help me secretly bring my wife and children here. Zhang's family is a cannibalistic place. Two years ago, I was going to go back and take them away from that place of trouble, but I didn't expect that I would be kidnapped by the dog thief King Huainan at the last step. Now, I don't know if they are safe."
Shen Zhi nodded, took the purse and carefully put it away. He said, "General Zhan has sent a message saying that the current emperor suspects that the King of Huainan is colluding with the Japanese pirates and wants to get solid evidence to arrest him. Now I am afraid that you still have to stay here temporarily. I will secretly inform your families one by one that you are safe. You can tell me the address and the situation of your relatives in advance."
Everyone was silent at this moment, their expressions solemn.
"I don't need it. I'm just an orphan." Zhuge Ling was the first to speak out and shrugged indifferently.
"There is no one left in our family." said the pair of brothers surnamed Lu.
"I am not married yet. I only have my father and mother at home. My home is in Taohua Village, Yuyang County, Qingzhou Prefecture." Zhang Chong's colleague Lu Fei said.
Shen Zhi simply took out a pen and paper from his sleeve and wrote down everything. It would be better to visit all of them this time, so that these heroes who have been missing for many years can rest in peace.
"My family lives in Da Niu Village, Shaoyang Town, Pingzhou Prefecture. I have a brother and a sister, and my sister is not married yet." Bald Zhan Guangan said. After a while, he said, "Now she is about to turn 15. I am most worried that my cruel sister-in-law will interfere in her marriage and assign her a heartless man. My sister has been the closest to me since she was a child."
"I have a big family, but they only care about my pension, so there's no need for them to make that trip." said Fang Zhongniu, nicknamed Erdapen.
A young man said shyly with a red face, "I have been imprisoned by the King of Huainan for five years. Before I was imprisoned, I had just returned from my hometown, Qinglin Township, Yuanzhou, and got engaged to Liu Yunniang from the same hometown. I just don't know whether she married someone else or is still waiting for me during the five years I was missing. My mother is the only one at home, and I don't know if she is in good health these years."
Shen Zhi recognized this man, he was a former subordinate of Shen Changzhou, named Ye Chao. Before Shen Changzhou left, he asked Shen Zhi to take good care of him.
There are nine other people whose homes are basically in the capital or Beizhou, which is almost across half of the territory of the Great Xiao Dynasty from Qingzhou Prefecture. They cannot go there for the time being and can only find opportunities to write letters back.
Shen Zhi decided to keep Song Rou. Although Song Rou was a rich lady, she loved food and liked to tinker with food since she was a child. If she stayed, she could help cook for the 18 people, so that they would not waste food all day.
But Song Rou refused resolutely. She had always had a chivalrous heart since she was young and longed to go to the outside world. How could she miss such a good opportunity?
"Xiao Zhi, you see, I have kung fu skills and can protect you. I will never drag you down." Song Rou acted coquettishly, with excitement faintly revealed in her eyes.
"No, if I go alone, I can find an excuse and go secretly. If we go with two people, we will look too big and it will be easy to alert the enemy." Shen Zhi refused firmly.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade this one, Song Rou could only persuade another one. She said to Song Xun coquettishly, "Dad, please let me go with Xiao Zhi. I promise to be obedient."
As soon as Song Xun saw this girl, he was a real daughter slave and immediately fell in love with the cute dad. He nodded in agreement on the spot and helped Song Rou to talk to Shen Zhi and asked her to bring Song Rou with her.
Shen Zhi had no choice but to nod and agree.
It seems that I need to prepare more convenience foods for later.
In the middle of the night, after Song Rou fell asleep, Shen Zhi sneaked into the space. First, he went to the field to harvest crops and vegetables. Then he went to the orchard to harvest fruits. The warehouse had long been full, and the fruits were placed far outside. Fortunately, this place has a fresh-keeping function, so no matter how long it is stored, it will still be as fresh as before.
Then he went to see the snow wolves. They were walking on the grass, and they had grown a lot bigger. Shen Zhi hadn't taken care of them these days, and he didn't know what they lived on. There were also a lot of pheasants, rabbits, wild boars, deer, etc. thrown into the space. Besides, the snow wolves wouldn't eat grass, right? Shen Zhi was really puzzled.
The snow wolves were very smart. When they saw Shen Zhi coming, they all came over and wagged their tails. Shen Zhi stroked them and responded. I accidentally discovered that several wolves were pregnant. That was great. Soon there would be wolf cubs.
Shen Zhi played with Snow Wolf for a while, then returned to the computer to place an order.
Ten boxes of instant noodles of various flavors, twenty boxes of snail noodles, ten boxes of self-heating rice of various flavors, ten boxes of self-heating hot pot of various flavors, twenty boxes of ham sausage, fifty boxes of eight-treasure porridge, fifty boxes of instant white fungus, and twenty boxes of beer. Twenty boxes of apples and pears were also ordered, so that they could eat two whenever they had nothing to do.
I bought boxes of chicken feet with pickled peppers, pork elbows with soy sauce, beef with soy sauce, etc. I also bought a lot of pickled mustard tuber, in case everything else was gone, I could at least make porridge with it, and porridge could still be cooked.
After buying everything, Shen Zhi was still not satisfied, so he bought a lot of hand-torn bread, compressed biscuits, orchid beans, drunkard peanuts, etc. He even bought fifty barrels of bottled water.
While Song Rou was still asleep, Shen Zhi planned to put the things he bought in the basement first, otherwise it would be difficult to take them in when they all woke up tomorrow.
Shen Zhi quietly came to the kitchen, but unexpectedly a dark shadow appeared in the kitchen. Shen Zhi's heart sank, thinking that she might be exposed. She picked up the fire stick and hit the dark shadow. Unexpectedly, the dark shadow was faster and jumped behind her to hug her.
"You murdered your own husband," the dark shadow gritted his teeth.
Shen Zhi stomped hard on his toes, causing him to grimace in pain. "I told you to talk nonsense, you scoundrel. Humph," Shen Zhi pushed him away angrily.
"Shh, auntie, do you want to wake everyone up?" The black shadow was Zhan Xiao who came secretly. When he received the message from Jihetang and learned that Shen Zhi said they rescued a team of slackers, he came over eagerly to deliver the silver bills.
