Sweetest Medicines

Do you think they were taken away by the kidnappers?

In mid-September on the lunar calendar, the weather gets colder every day.

On the way to the border town, an ordinary person would wear a thick jacket, which covered the entire body up to the neck, and walk briskly on the streets.

Xiao Lingchuan always wore a single outfit, he rode the carriage in the midst of the cold wind, his back was straight, he could wear one unlined outfit for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

People who practice martial arts can use their internal strength to regulate their body temperature, although it is very cold and snowy, he does not feel the cold even though he is only wearing a single outfit.

"My husband, drink hot tea!"

Li Weiyue was afraid that she was sick, so she sent her a cup of hot tea. He wore a thick coat with fox fur under his body, plus a thick blanket covered his entire body, even with that he still felt cold.

"There's an inn ahead, we can rest for an hour during the day."

Xiao Lingchuan was feeling anxious. In the morning, his wife timidly asked him to look for a grocery store. She went to buy a menstrual belt. Unfortunately, his menstrual period occurred during the trip.

She heard that women's body temperature would be low during their menstrual period, and sometimes they would feel cramps in their lower abdomen. She bought black jujube tea and Tang Pozi, who nourished her qi and blood, she hoped to relieve her pain.

"My husband, let's just continue our journey."

Li Weiyue had already calculated the time, if they rested during the day they could not enter the border city before dark and had to spend the night outside, instead, they should go to Chun Niang's house to deliver the medicine early.

Before time travel, Li Weiyue did not suffer from dysmenorrhea, in her previous life she had always been greedy during her menstrual period, and she was secretly eating ice cream, and it did not cause any problems at all.

As a doctor, despite knowing that it was an unhealthy lifestyle, he still could not avoid it. Li Weiyue had always found a reason for herself, which was to indulge herself in time.

After transmigrating and receiving the body of the original owner, Li Weiyue's face was pale from pain. He bit his lips, curled up at the corner of the carriage, and covered his lower abdomen with his hands. During the trip, she had to make sure the water temperature in Tang Pozi had to stay warm, to slightly relieve her stomach ache.

Xiao Lingchuan did not speak a word, his eyes were dark, his appearance was strong, but his heart was fragile, his wife always thought of others, sometimes she ignored herself.

There was no need to rush to deliver medicine to Chun Niang. For him, his own wife was more important.

Therefore, for the first time, Xiao Lingchuan did not listen to Li Weiyue, and made his own decision, he drove the carriage to the backyard of the inn.

Li Weiyue was lying limp on the carriage, almost dying from pain. He sensed the carriage stop and asked puzzledly, "Have we reached Chun Niang's house yet?"

"We'll stay at the inn and leave tomorrow."

The tall figure of Xiao Lingchuan entered the carriage and immediately blocked the light. He wrapped Li Weiyue up with a blanket, and brought her to the inn that left the maid astonished.

In broad daylight, making out and cuddling it made jokes for people, Li Weiyue was a gentle-faced person, she had just entered her youth life, she was not so gentle, she was not, so he fought, "Let me down!"

"No!"

What Xiao Lingchuan said was very firm, not only did he not let go, but he hugged her even tighter.

The maids at the inn took a long time to react, and secretly consulted the inn chief and the cashier.

A few days ago, an official from Yamen came to their inn to break the news that many items had been lost at Mr. Qin's rice and grain store in the district, and a young unmarried woman is also missing. The official suspected that both incidents were caused by one person or a group of people, asking them to pay attention to the new faces at the inn lately.

"You, why do you think I should pay attention to him, no stranger has come to this inn!"

The head of the inn felt quite depressed. The locals with their families, and the rich people who stayed in their inns were not without pay.

Their inn has a lot of traffic, dozens of people come and go every day, and the people are not sharp-eyed, so they don't know who the criminals are.

"It's easy."

The inn head thought it was reasonable, so he took it seriously.

These past two days were very calm, and there was no suspicious person in sight, but just now, a big and ugly man came to their inn, which was the place to be, carrying a soft little woman with a blanket.

That can't be okay!

"I also heard the little lady say no, she must have been drugged and forced!"

The servants at the inn discussed with the inn chief whether they should go to Yamen to report the matter. He heard that if they could help settle the case, they could get a reward of ten taels of silver, and if he saved up a little longer, it would be enough for him to marry a wife.

"this…"

They cannot pour dirty water just because someone has an ugly face, and they must have a basis for what they say. The head of the inn pondered for a moment, and decided to send his staff upstairs to investigate. If they see anything is wrong, they will immediately report to the officer and wait for the officer to arrest them.

Upstairs, Li Weiyue did not know that her behavior was misunderstood by the servants. She was sitting on a chair, waiting for her ugly husband to make his bed.

To be honest, Xiao Lingchuan was very kind. Since marrying her, Li Weiyue had been treated in every possible way. He ate and drank a lot and was full.

The thin-mouthed copper pot above the small steaming red clay furnace, Li Weiyue stood up, wrapped the handle of the copper pot with a cloth towel, and brewed a cup of brown sugar water for herself.

"My husband, I heard from people along the way that many unmarried women disappeared in the past few days. Do you think they were taken away by the kidnappers?"

If the kidnappers were to kidnap those people, they would have to leave the border town to sell them, and most of them were sent to a bad place.

He heard that in the barren land in the Northwest, there were more men than women, and there were several men in one large family. If they can't afford a wife, they'll buy one woman to make a wife together.

A gentle little woman will serve some strong men and to bear a child, polyandry, is completely reversed.

A teenage girl, her body has not grown, is mistreated by some men, if they cannot bear it, they will be tortured like non-humans.

There are more men than women, and women are precious. If women want to get married and can't choose, anyone who gets a family with a lot of men in the house is terrible!

"There are a lot of men and they are very strong. They're all saving up to buy a wife somewhere else."

Xiao Lingchuan often took up the work of live and death arrows, and often went to the Northwest, he had a certain understanding of the customs of the local people. Sharing a wife there is common, not only that, but there are also rental wives and concubines.

"What do you mean?"

The last time when Xiao Lingchuan told her, she had not talked about this, and Li Weiyue expressed her interest.

"The customs of the people of the northwest are very open, and the people advocate remarriage for widows."

Xiao Lingchuan saw that this could distract his wife and prevent her from the torment of abdominal pain, so he explained the local customs in detail.

The yellow sand in the northwest is a relatively mysterious area. It could be said that there are three things that must be ignored, let alone tied to manners.

There are more men than women, women who have lost their husbands, are considered to be able to generate resources, and for women it is better to look for young and strong men to be able to live.

After a woman gives birth, a man can rent out their wife for a period of one year. If the woman is pregnant during the period, the other party will have to pay some money.

Concubines also have a similar meaning, and are usually transactions between wealthy families.

Businessmen will not travel to the northwest. There are a lot of bandits on the streets. Many people want to do business. It's good luck to be robbed. The bandits were extremely ruthless, not only robbing money, but also not hesitating to kill. Yes people are not going to the northwest for business, and there is a huge shortage of women, so there will always be kidnappers who cheat young women from here, he said, then go northwest to make a lot of money.
