Chapter 264 Humanity and Sophistication

The next day, maybe because we slept too late last night, or maybe because Shen Zhiqiu's way of saving people was too unbelievable, everyone woke up late.

Even Doctor Guo recalled that he had seen people drowning before. At that time, he didn't know how to do it, so he could only stand there and lament helplessly. He fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

There must be many cases like Doctor Guo. Shen Zhiqiu was actually okay. When he was saving the kid, he was overly focused and felt very tired when he lay down to rest.

I fall asleep almost as soon as I touch the pillow, so I am also the first one to wake up.

But it was only earlier than others, and much later than usual, especially since they had slept in the temple and in the wild for two nights before, and everyone was really exhausted.

Shen Zhiqiu put on his clothes quietly, holding his two shoes, and walked out of the room carefully, stopping every step.

There was no way around it. The floor in the room was filled with people lying all over the place, and if you weren't careful you might step on someone.

Of course, the smell must be unpleasant. With so many people crowded in one room and sleeping for one night, it would be strange if it could smell good. However, Shen Youyou has refined rosin.

When they leave and help people clean the room, they will sprinkle a little bit to remove the smell from the inn or other places.

This is also one of the reasons why the people from Shenjia Village are not too disliked by others wherever they go.

Another thing is that after using other people's firewood and water, they would help them chop some firewood the next day. So wherever Shenjia Village goes, the impression it leaves on people is that they are polite.

Of course, the gang of bandits from the past doesn’t count.

Shen Zhiqiu went outside the room, closed the door carefully, and then started putting on his shoes.

At this time, except for the innkeeper and the waiters, most of the people in the inn had not yet gotten up because of what happened last night.

Shen Zhiqiu thought, it's already this late, how long will it take to steam the dry food himself, so he wanted to ask the shopkeeper for help.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he met the shopkeeper and told him about this, he was told: "Mr. Shen, the dry food for your journey is ready."

Shen Zhiqiu was slightly stunned: "Could it be that his daughter is up too? Or maybe his daughter thought about getting up late today before going to bed and suggested to prepare it?"

The innkeeper said, "It was arranged by Mr. Su yesterday."

Shen Zhiqiu learned from the shopkeeper that Su Baiqing had passed away. He left at dawn with very little noise, and he left quietly with his family.

But he did leave a letter and two days' worth of dry food for them, saying that he wanted the shopkeeper to steam large buns made of fine flour and filled with meat for them.

The innkeeper also took out six pieces of cloth from the counter, three pieces of silk and three pieces of fine cotton. These were the kind of cotton cloth that felt very soft and had beautiful colors. They had never been willing to buy these cloths when they were back home.

However, Shen Zhiqiu remembered that he had seen a classmate wearing it, and said, "It would cost more than ten taels of silver to make a long gown."

There are also the letters left by Su Baiqing.

Shen Zhiqiu opened it and saw the words: "Brother Shen, I am writing to you..."

In short, it was just one meaning, expressing gratitude to Shen Zhiqiu. The letter also mentioned that he knew Shen Zhiqiu saved people for no reason, and that he was able to stand up in a critical moment, which was a sign of brother Shen's righteousness. He knew that he should not use the money and vulgar things to tarnish Shen Zhiqiu.

These cloths were also a token of his appreciation, not for his gratitude, but just because he was happy to know Shen Zhiqiu and hoped to keep in touch with him.

In short, I told Shen Zhiqiu over and over again, I know that you are not the kind of person who would repay a favor, but I also really want to be your friend.

That’s roughly what it meant. Shen Zhiqiu grinned after reading it.

In fact, Shen Zhiqiu refused the thank-you gift yesterday, not because he was defiled or something. How could he be defiled by giving him silver?

If that's the case, then can everyone please come and defile him?

The reason why he didn't accept money was due to the habit of modern businessmen. He believed that money should not be accepted because if something serious happened in the future, ordinary people like them would not be able to solve it.

If you need to ask for help, you can ask this person. Although he is a sixth-rank county magistrate, his father-in-law is the Marquis of An Ning.

In Daqing, below the emperor is the king, and below the king are the titles of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

That marquis is only one level lower in title than Fu Huaian's father and grandfather. He can really save lives at critical moments.

Don't say he is a mean person who is seeking repayment for a favor. He believes that this is the way of the world that one must learn in order to survive.

At this moment, people in each room woke up.

"Ouch!"

When he looked out the window, it was already bright outside: "Get up, get up, it's getting late, and we still need to prepare some dry food."

The old ladies climbed up, holding their waists, looking as if they had not rested enough.

Among the girls, Shen Youyou was the most carefree one. She would wake up as soon as she heard any noise, open her eyes and start packing her bedding quietly.

The main reason is that I feel weak in my heart. I feel like I have slept until this late. Even when I was living in a cave in winter, I never got up so late.

Of course, Shen Youyou doesn't count. Their sister Youyou is the type who, as long as she is sleepy, won't wake you up even if the dragon turns over outside. She has a big heart.

Even when the little kids woke up after hearing the noise, no one made any noise or shouting. They were all very well behaved and those who could put on their clothes did so by themselves.

Shen Nannan put on her clothes, moved closer to Shen Youyou and shook her: "Sister, wake up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt!"

This is what she had heard Shen Zhiqiu call "Sister Yoyo" and she remembered it.

It can be seen how much children love to learn to speak like adults.

Shen Youyou opened her misty eyes, and what came into view was a round little face and two sparkling eyes like black grapes.

She stretched out her arms, hugged Shen Nannan and kissed her fair little face: "Mmm, so soft, so cute, I love it."

Shen Nannan was so excited by her that she couldn't stop laughing.

Mrs. Hua was helpless: "Stop teasing her, or she'll choke on her saliva. Look how scary she was last night."

When Shen Youyou heard this, she let go of little Nannan and started to get dressed and wash up.

When everyone got up and found out that Lord Su had prepared dry food for them, they felt a little embarrassed, but when Shen Zhiqiu handed the cloth to his wife and mother.

Li Jingshu was okay. She was very rare, but she could still control herself. She had seen all kinds of good materials in her previous life.

But Mrs. Hua was really happy. She touched the fine cotton cloth again and again, but her eyes were fixed on the silk and would not move away from it from time to time.

I was reluctant to touch it with my rough hands for fear of getting snagged.

As the head of Shenjia Village, Mr. Shen is absolutely clear about when to give everyone advice.

This old man, who had deliberately forced Shen Zhiqiu to move some of the men to carry the dry food, said:

"These cloths are given to the third brother to thank him for saving his son. They belong to him. Don't think that we have a share in the profits from the sales and that we want to get involved in everything."

Shen Dahai: "Uncle Qi, what are you talking about? We can't think that way, don't worry!"

Old Mrs. Fang also said, "That's right, Uncle Qi, you are overthinking it. How can we do this if we can't figure it out?"

Master Shen said in his heart: "You can ask him whether you want to understand it or not. Anyway, he has to remind people. There are many people in Shenjia Village. It is inevitable that some people will be confused and destroy the unity."
