Chương 9: There Is Nothing Money Couldn't Solve

Looking at the officer's fierce face, Xu Xiang suddenly remembered that there was nothing that money could not solve. Not knowing the currency of this world, she decided to use silver or gold. Either way, everyone loves gold and gems.

Although the apocalypse world is different from this world, where food and supplies are more valuable than human life, but here, she can confidently say that gold is still valuable. Pretending to check her clothes, she sneaks out a tiny piece of gold leaf from her space.

She pulled a gold leaf out from her waistband and called the officer. "Sir."

The officer turned around unhappily and asked fiercely. "What?"

She waved a tiny gold leaf the size of a thumbnail and smiled. As soon as the officer saw the gold leaf on her fingers, he quickly looked left and right before approaching her. He stared fixedly at the tiny gold leaf, and asked in a low voice.

"Where did you get this? What do you want?"

Xu Xiang also followed the officer's lead and spoke in a low voice. "As long as you don't cause trouble to the Xiao family, this little piece of gold leaf is yours."

The officer glanced at her suspiciously and asked, "What's your relationship with them?"

There was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth when she spoke. "I have already told you. Madam Xiao saved me yesterday."

Squinting his eyes, the officer tried to find some lies in her eyes, but he couldn't see anything in her calm eyes. He snatched the tiny gold leaf from her finger and said in a low voice.

"Fine! As long as you don't make trouble, I'm too lazy to bother with you."

Xu Xiang was very satisfied with his answer, and said, "It's a deal. However, if someone comes to trouble me, I will not show mercy."

'This young lady looks ordinary, but she can take out this high quality gold leaf that only nobles and royal families can get. Just in case, it's best not to offend her.'

The officer looked at her for a while, then left without saying anything. From his expression, she knew that he agreed with her. After she was dealing with the officer, the Xiao family went to get breakfast, as she guarded Xiao Shao.

While everyone was busy getting their rations, she felt Xiao Shao's pulse and checked his wounds. Unwrapping the dirty bandages and the gauzes, she saw that the hemostatic bandages had disappeared along with the wound.

'How come the hemostatic bandage already disappeared? Looks like his healing speed is faster than an ordinary human. It seems that all he needs right now is only balanced nutrition and some good rest now.'

Seeing that his wounds had healed, she put away the gauzes from her space and wrapped his body with those dirty bandages again. She puts her hand on his forehead, and feels that he still has a slight fever. With a flick of her hand, she took out two small syringes. After injecting the antipyretic medicine and antibody booster into his body, she put away the empty syringes.

Turning her head and seeing the long queue, she probably had to wait for a long time before the Xiao family came back. Looking back at Xiao Shao, she thought for a while before she took out a pack of nutrient solution. In his current state, he could only drink water or liquid food.

What he lacks most right now is nutrition. Without food, his body would not be able to recover. Approaching him, she opened the nutrient solution. Although the nutrient solution is only twenty milliliters, its effect is very powerful.

She pinched his lips and dripped the nutrient solution into his mouth. One minute later, she put the empty pack back into her space and sat beside him as if nothing had happened. Half an hour later, the Xiao family finally came back with their cold steamed buns.

Seeing them coming back, she got up and said, "I'll go find food and water."

Before she had time to pick up the bamboo basket, Xiao Yi said, "Miss Xu, we will go right now. If you leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to find us later."

Frowning, she looked at the officers who were already urging the prisoner to start walking. She glanced at the unconscious Xiao Shao, and then at the thin and weak-looking Xiao Han.

She pointed to Xiao Shao and said, "Uncle Xiao, I can go find something to eat later. But, what about your son?"

"I will carry him on my back."

Xu Xiang looked at the tall Xiao Shao, and then at Xiao Yi. Although both of them were already very thin, Xiao Shao was taller than Xiao Yi, and he was unconscious at this time. He must have become heavier than when he was awake.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Xiao, I'll go and make something for him. Can any of you wait here for a second? We'll catch up with you in a while."

The Xiao family looked at each other, and then Xiao Han said, "I will stay and protect my elder brother."

Not knowing what she wanted to do, they were a little uneasy. Watching their hesitation, she said, "We'll find you soon."

Wen Wan looked at her husband and clenched her hands tightly. "All right. Let's walk slowly and wait for them."

"My wife, you.."

Wen Wan patted her husband's arm and said, "I trust Miss Xu."

Xiao Yi looked at his wife for a while before letting out a sigh. He looked at Xu Xiang, and said, "Then we'll just wait for the three of you in front."

"All right."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi, Wen Wan and Xiao Jing followed behind the group of exiled prisoners, while Xiao Han guarded Xiao Shao. Xu Xiang squatted down and secretly handed a dagger she just took out from her space to Xiao Han. Holding the cold dagger, Xiao Han looked at her but said nothing.

"You keep this dagger just in case. I'll be right back."

Xiao Han glanced at the dagger, then at her, and nodded. "Mhm."
