Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 291: Winter Disaster ( 14 )

Due to the high quality of Yao Zhi’s fish, they were sold out not long after they were placed on the shelves.

Seeing how fast her fish was sold out, Yao Zhi was surprised. She checked the points, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She earned a total of 189,954,320 points. Now, she has more than 205 million points.

The next moment, a blue screen popped up in front of her.

"Congratulations, Host, for reaching 200 million points! The host can exchange your points for merit points at a rate of 500 points: 1 merit point."

The moment Yao Zhi saw this, her eyes widened in shock. This system was such a rip-off!

The exchange ratio was so high that 200 million points could only give her 400,000 merit points. She didn’t need any merit points for now, so she closed the system and finished her cooking.

While she was having breakfast with Ling Shiyi and Ling Shi’er, she said, "Later, I will go visit my husband. Both of you help me watch over the house."

"Master, we should go with you to protect your safety," Ling Shiyi said.

"The military barracks are close, and this area is safe. Both of you help me harvest the vegetables and apricots."

Since she had said so, they didn’t insist and nodded.

After breakfast, Yao Zhi rode her donkey and went to the military barracks. Today, she wanted to deliver the medicinal herbs and some supplies to her husband.

An hour later, she arrived at the military barracks. Unlike before, she could see how busy the soldiers were from the entrance.

When the guards saw her walking over, they greeted her, and one of them said, "Sister-in-law, are you looking for Squad Leader Fu?"

Yao Zhi nodded and said, "My husband told me that he would be leaving today. I came to send some food for him."

"Please wait a moment, I will inform Squad Leader Fu."

"Thank you," Yao Zhi nodded.

Not long after, the guard returned with Fu Chen’an. When Yao Zhi saw her husband wearing full armor, she was stunned. This was the first time she saw him wearing a complete set of armor.

Although his gaze was as gentle as usual when he looked at her, she still felt an invisible pressure emitting from him. It made her not dare to look straight at his eyes.

When Fu Chen’an stood in front of his wife, he noticed that his wife seemed to be avoiding him. Recalling the slave she bought back then, a thought flashed in his mind, and his heart sank.

Reaching out, he lifted her chin and asked, "Wife, why are you avoiding me?"

Hearing this, Yao Zhi forced herself to meet his gaze and replied, "I didn’t."

Fu Chen’an frowned deeper and said, "You did." After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Did something happen at home?"

"Nothing happened."

"Then why don’t you look at me?"

When she heard this, Yao Zhi realized that her husband had misunderstood. She held his hands and replied in a low voice, "It’s my first time seeing you wearing your armor."

"Is something wrong with my armor?" he asked with doubts.

"Well, you look very good."

Fu Chen’an noticed his wife’s ears turned red after she said those words. Suddenly, a realization hit him. He thought that his wife had a change of heart. Turns out, she was charmed by his dashing appearance and felt shy.

His mood improved instantly, and he grinned widely.

Since he didn’t have much time, he asked, "Wife, did you get the medicinal herbs?"

The moment Yao Zhi heard this, she regained her senses. She quickly pulled him to her donkey and handed him another spatial bag.

Seeing the bag, Fu Chen’an raised his eyebrows. While the design was similar to the one given by her before, this one was bigger in size.

"Husband, this spatial bag is bigger than the one you use. I prepared 200,000 portions of cold and fever medicine, 40,417 pieces of steamed buns. I prepared various fillings."

"500 vats of water, 200,000 salted duck eggs, 200,000 boiled duck eggs, 40 waterskins of medicinal water, and 50 jars of grain wine."

Fu Chen’an was surprised that his wife had prepared so much and said, "Wife, why did you prepare so much?"

"I heard that the affected area is not small. Just keep them with you, just in case." After a moment of pause, Yao Zhi added, "The weather is cold, drink some wine to warm up your body. I added some medicinal herbs to the wine so it won’t make you drunk."

Fu Chen’an nodded and accepted the spatial bag. "Thank you, wife."

Since it was almost time to depart, they didn’t have a meal together.

Using their bodies to block the guards’ sight, Fu Chen’an transferred the items in the bigger spatial bag into the smaller one. While the size was smaller, it was more than enough to store everything.

When he was done, he pulled his wife into a hug and kissed her forehead. "Wife, take good care of yourself. When I come back, I will request a few days off and accompany you at home."

Yao Zhi snuggled into his embrace and replied, "Mhmm. Be careful and take good care of yourself. Don’t get hurt."

"I will."

Although they were reluctant, Fu Chen’an couldn’t stay any longer. After giving his wife another look, he turned and returned to the barracks.

This time, Yao Zhi didn’t leave and waited until the army marched out of the barracks. The army was escorting supplies, so there was a long line of carts pushed by the soldiers.

Her husband was riding a horse and leading a small escort team. His position was at the back of the formation. When he rode past her, he gave her a reassuring gaze and mouthed, "Go home and wait for me."

Yao Zhi knew how dangerous a rescue mission was and couldn’t help but worry about his safety. But she had done all she could. Now, all she could do was pray for him and wait.

It was only when she could no longer see her husband that she rode her donkey and returned home.
