Speaking of this matter, Shen Yu was also full of doubts, "It stands to reason that as long as someone is in the border town, there is no one we can't find, but after searching for so many days, there is no clue at all."
When he said this, Wen Wan murmured softly, "You talk like the border town is your world, can't it be that you are not strong enough, so you can't find it?"
Shen Yu sneered, "Impossible."
Wen Wan: "...Are you so sure?"
Shen Yu: "Yeah."
Wen Wan also restrained her emotions. After thinking for a moment, she said calmly: "If it's true as you said, you have searched all over the border towns and still haven't found this person, then there are only two possibilities."
"Either Doctor Chen doesn't have a junior brother at all, or he's not in the border town at all."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "I thought of the same place. But since Doctor Chen is here, it means that the person he is looking for is indeed here."
Wen Wan could easily follow his analytical train of thought and said, "It's just that maybe what he is looking for is not his fellow junior."
Shen Yu patted her head approvingly, "Still as smart as before."
Wen Wan curled her lips, "Yeah, luckily I only hurt my eyes and didn't damage my brain. Otherwise, I would really rather die..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Yu put his palm on her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky."
After Wen Wan nodded to express his understanding, he let go of his hand.
"Then what should we do now?" Wen Wan said softly: "If the person Doctor Chen is looking for is not his junior brother, then we have no clue at all. Wouldn't it be harder to find the person?"
Shen Yu: "I just praised you for being smart, but why can't you turn around again?"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, if the mountain doesn't come, it's me, and I'll go and find the mountain."
"Well, that's exactly it." Shen Yu said.

Dr. Chen's funeral was held three days later.
To the outside world, it is said that he is a distant relative of Wen Wan, who is still a doctor in the Imperial Capital. This time he came and brought some health-preserving medicinal materials from the Imperial Capital.
Now that he suddenly drowned and died, those medicinal herbs for health are no longer of use, so he is going to sell them to the drug store here at a low price.
There was a shortage of supplies in the border town, and there were good goods coming from the imperial capital. As soon as the news spread, not only the drug stores, but also anyone who had any useful information came here to inquire.
There were many people gathered at the entrance of the small courtyard.
There was an Eight Immortals table set up in the yard, and Shen Yu sat and discussed with the people who came to inquire. His attitude was modest and polite, but the prices he offered were not cheap.
"They said it was sold at a low price. The price is even more expensive than Linshi."
"That's right, whoever buys goods here is really being taken advantage of."
After asking about the price, the person cursed and walked out.
Shen Zhou put away the tea sets on the table, cleaned them and replaced them.
This time, an old woman came, about fifty or sixty years old. She was wearing coarse clothes and had a floral and blue patterned cloth scarf on her head.
She had limited use of her legs and feet, limping when she walked, and she was carrying an empty vegetable basket in her hand.
Seeing this, Shen Zhou kindly reminded, "Grandma, are you in the wrong place? You come to us to buy medicinal materials. The vegetable market is on the street next door."
I don't blame Shen Zhou for misunderstanding. It's true that this old woman seems to have nothing to do with the drug store.
The old woman smiled honestly, "You're right. I'm just here to buy medicinal materials."
Hearing this, Shen Yu raised his eyes to glance at her and asked, "What medicine does grandma want to buy?"
The old woman said: "I have not been in good health these years. I heard that you have health-preserving medicinal materials here, so I came to buy a few."
When Shen Yu didn't speak, Shen Zhou whispered: "Grandma, you can't just buy health-preserving herbs and eat them randomly. You can only eat them after a doctor prescribes them."
"Ah? That's it..." Grandma made a bitter look on her face, and then said:
"It's okay. I won't eat it randomly after I buy it. I'll ask the doctor to see if it's suitable for me to eat. Can I eat it? It's rare to find good medicinal herbs from the Imperial Capital. There is no such store beyond this village."
Shen Zhou had seen people who were selling things so boastful, but he had never seen people who were buying things being so boastful.
He smiled in surprise, "You think clearly." He turned to ask Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu was okay and told the old woman the price of the medicinal materials.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then took out a banknote from her arms.
"Although the price is a bit expensive, good things are not expensive."
Shen Yu looked calm, and after responding, he took the banknote and told Shen Zhou to go to the side room to load the medicine for the old woman.
Shen Zhou carried the empty basket to the side room.
Shen Yu asked the old woman to sit down and poured her some tea. "Grandma, take a sip of tea first. I'll bring the medicinal materials to you after the medicine is packed."
"Okay, okay." The old woman took a sip of tea and casually glanced in the direction of the mourning hall.
She seemed to ask unintentionally: "Is this the poor man who drowned in the moat a few days ago? That Doctor Chen from the capital?"
Shen Zhou nodded and sighed: "Yes, this is Doctor Chen's mourning hall."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The old woman sighed with emotion: "In the end of this life, people will have to take this road sooner or later. My old woman is full of diseases, and she may die someday."
"We are all destitute people from the end of the world. Can I give Dr. Chen a stick of incense? After all, I bought his medicinal materials and I have to say thank you..."
Shen Yu rubbed his fingers on the teacup and said softly: "Of course, you can do it yourself."
The old woman got up and walked to the mourning hall.
From a distance, Shen Yu could only see the old woman lighting a stick of incense and kneeling tremblingly in front of the hall.
She was mumbling something, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.
She kowtowed three times devoutly before inserting the incense into the incense box.
Shen Zhou handed the packed medicinal materials back to the old woman, and she nodded to Shen Yu before leaving.
As soon as she stepped forward, Shen Yu made a gesture in the direction of the courtyard wall.
A figure flashed on the courtyard wall, and he led his troops to follow.
Shen Yu stood up and told Shen Zhou, "Close the courtyard door."
Shen Zhou didn't know why, "The medicinal materials haven't been sold out yet. Are they not going to be sold?"
Shen Yu smiled lightly and said, "I won't sell it anymore."
Shen Zhou said with a confused expression.
However, Shen Yu had already walked away and had no intention of saying anything more to him.

As soon as it gets dark, the food is on the table.
Shen Yu sat opposite Wen Wan and kept putting vegetables into the bowl for her.
Wen Wan buried her head in cooking, but couldn't finish it. She stopped to complain in dissatisfaction.
"Did you secretly pick up food for me again?"
"Achai, don't bully me just because I'm disabled. I've told you, I only eat one bowl of food!"
She muttered: "I have gained several pounds this month, and my waist is full of fat. If I keep eating like this, I will become fatter than a pig!"
Shen Yu was used to her daily complaints, so while she was talking, he gave her two more pieces of meat.
Jin Mu walked in hurriedly, and when he saw this scene, he shook his head speechlessly.
Shen Yu calmly asked: "Have you found the person?"
