Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 68: Shopping Trip ( 2 )

Fu Chen’an nodded and explained, "During our last battle against the barbarians, the General chased after them and fell into a trap. We were surrounded, and the General was injured by an arrow."

"It was thanks to your medicinal water that I was able to buy some time and bring him back to our camp. If not for that water, he would have died before the physician arrived."

"Since I just got promoted, he couldn’t give me another promotion in the meantime. So, he gave me this money and also a jade token. In the future, I can use the jade token to exchange for a favor."

After she heard her husband’s words, Yao Zhi was stunned. She never expected the water would play such a significant role in the war.

Now, she finally understood why she was able to gain so many merit points. It was all because she unknowingly saved the General with her spiritual spring.

Seeing that his wife was saying nothing, Fu Chen’an asked probingly, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing his voice, Yao Zhi was pulled out of her thoughts. She shook her head and said, "I’m glad that I can help you. Before you return to the barracks, I will prepare more medicinal water for you. You should carry it with you all the time, just in case."

Noticing the worries in his wife’s eyes, Fu Chen’an felt complicated. He didn’t want to admit it, but he was attracted to the person in front of him more and more.

He didn’t know if the soul inside that body was his wife, and liking her made him feel as if he was betraying his wife and their marriage. For an unknown reason, he even thought that he was no different than a scumbag who ate from the bowl while eyeing the pot.

Not knowing that someone almost turned bald from overthinking, Yao Zhi kept the money and said happily, "Husband, can you accompany me to the town later?"

"Okay," Fu Chen’an nodded. He could go to the mountain tomorrow.

After breakfast, Yao Zhi went to the kitchen to fill a waterskin and took out four pieces of scallion flower steamed buns and steamed buns with red bean paste filling, totaling eight pieces, from the system’s storage.

She wrapped the steamed buns with clean fabric and placed them inside the small bamboo basket, together with the waterskin.

When she was done, Fu Chen’an had already washed the dishes and said, "Wife, we should depart now."

Yao Zhi nodded, and they left after locking the doors.

As they walked toward the village entrance, the villagers saw them. They were shocked when they saw him walking with an unfamiliar woman. Everyone knew that he was married and who his wife was. So, they were sure that this woman was not his wife.

While the villagers were curious, no one dared to go and ask until Xiao Wei suddenly walked over and called out, "Fu Chen’an!"

Seeing that it was his friend, Fu Chen’an smiled and greeted him, "Xiao Wei, are you going to the town, too?"

Xiao Wei glanced at the woman standing so close to his friend for a moment before he pulled his friend to the side and asked in a low voice, "Fu Chen’an, what do you think you are doing?"

Hearing the accusation in his friend’s tone, Fu Chen’an frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Wei glanced back for a second and said, "You are a married man. No matter how unreasonable your wife is, how can you behave so intimately with another woman in public?"

Only when he heard this did Fu Chen’an realize that his friend had misunderstood him. "That person is my wife," he replied.

The moment he heard this, Xiao Wei blurted out, "Impossible! Don’t try to fool me just because I’m illiterate. I’m not stupid."

"She is really my wife. If you don’t trust me, you should ask your mother. Aunt Wang can testify for me," Fu Chen’an said helplessly.

Seeing how confident he was, Xiao Wei became unsure and asked, "Is she really your wife?"

"Yes," Fu Chen’an replied firmly.

"How could my Sister-in-law lose so much weight in such a short time?" Xiao Wei said in astonishment.

"My wife had been poisoned before, and it made her gain weight. Now that the poison has been cleared out, she naturally returned to how she should be," Fu Chen’an replied calmly.

"Sister-in-law was poisoned?" Xiao Wei was taken aback. After a moment of pause, he added, "No wonder your wife seemed so irritable and sickly back then despite eating a lot. Turns out she was harmed."

Fu Chen’an patted his friend’s shoulder and said, "My wife is still waiting for me. Tomorrow, come to my place and have a meal together."

"Okay."

After a brief conversation, Fu Chen’an walked back to his wife and said, "Wife, sorry for making you wait. Let’s go."

Yao Zhi nodded and followed him. She noticed the villagers’ inquiring gazes, but had no plan to explain to them. Tomorrow, everyone will learn about him. So, there was no need to waste time explaining it twice.

When they reached the village entrance, they saw a donkey cart parked there. Seeing the young man, Yao Zhi pulled at her husband’s hand and said, "Husband, we are lucky to meet Xiao Hu today. We don’t have to walk to the town."

Fu Chen’an frowned when he saw the handsome young man sitting in the driver’s seat.

As a martial artist, he could distinguish another martial artist. The young man looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his aura was not something a teenager could have.

As he walked closer, he met with the young man’s sharp gaze and felt the danger emitting from him. At this moment, a thought flashed in his mind, ’This person had killed a lot of people!’

Noticing her husband’s sudden stiffness, Yao Zhi turned to him and asked, "Husband, what’s wrong?"
