Chapter 103: Who Stole My Account? [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Upon hearing this, Chu Yao carefully took Shen Tang's pulse.

His pulse was strong and vigorous, his blood and energy abundant and surging, clearly indicating a robust and healthy state where he could easily kill several oxen with his bare hands, with no abnormalities whatsoever. Still not reassured, he took the pulse in the other hand, and the same pulse was detected, which dispelled his doubts and worries.

He comforted Lin Feng, saying, "Wulang is fine. Perhaps you are just too tired and are hallucinating? Go to sleep early and get some rest before talking to him again."

Lin Feng lowered his hand from his forehead.

A fleeting look of confusion and doubt crossed his face.

Perhaps she was just too tired and was hallucinating?

Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble for others, Lin Feng swallowed his doubts, obediently nodded, and let the matter drop. Seeing this, Chu Yao lowered the carriage curtain, resumed his previous napping posture, and closed his eyes to rest. Lin Feng hugged his knees with both hands, resting his chin on his knees.

I don't know if I was really tired or something else, but this time I closed my eyes and quickly became sleepy, and slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky.

Like her, Shen Tang also had a good night's sleep.

However, Shen Tang was the type to sleep soundly, never wanting to wake up, but the moment she opened her eyes, her entire body ached as if she had been tortured. Every part of her body hurt. She frowned slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes very slowly.

At first, his eyes stared into the void, unfocused, but as his consciousness returned, his gaze sharpened, and his bodily senses returned rapidly.

This caused her great suffering.

My whole body ached, but the worst pain was in my head, which felt like it was about to explode.

"Holy shit...who the hell hit me on the head?"

No, no, no—

She wanted to know if someone had performed brain surgery on her while she was sleeping! Even with her strong willpower, she felt an urge to bang her head against the ground to relieve the pain. Shen Tang changed her sleeping position from lying on her back with her hands folded over her lower abdomen to curling up and kneeling on the bed.

"No...where...where is this place?"

Shen Tang gasped, barely managing to suppress the excruciating pain. When she looked up and opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment again. This time, it wasn't a scene of a brawl, but an empty mud-brick house, which could only be described as "barely furnished."

She looked around blankly and knelt on the simple couch.

Bright sunlight streamed through the rough curtains, casting a distorted, abstract, and comical shadow on the floor. Shen Tang raised her hand and pounded her forehead with her wrist, trying to recall her memories before falling asleep, and how she had gotten to this place...

result……

I can't remember at all.

What was she doing in her last memory?

Scenes flashed through her mind like a series of memories.

Thugs, Zhai Le, liquor stalls, overturning liquor stalls, fighting...

Then?

Then her liquor stall disappeared!!!

She jolted awake, her anger instantly reaching its peak. She jumped off the bed, cursing, "Damn it! My liquor stand! A bunch of thugs dare to wreck your old man's place! It's like turning on the bright light in the toilet—you're asking for trouble!"

Before I could even take a step, the door was pushed open from the outside in.

Suddenly, a pair of round, bright eyes met my gaze.

The owner of the eyes was staring at himself with his mouth slightly open in surprise.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Tang: "...???"

Wait a minute, did she just swear?

Shen Tang's expression changed repeatedly, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She was truly embarrassed. The little girl outside looked to be eight or nine years old, dressed in rich clothes, clearly a pampered young lady raised in luxury, who had probably never even heard a swear word before.

Shen Tang immediately launched into a household registration-style greeting.

I imagine she experienced a significant shock outside the door.

Whenever she imagined a scene of social death, she wished she could turn back time, silently chanting, "You can't see me, you can't see me."

But it's clear that the little girl is not blind or deaf.

She came in carrying a wooden basin filled with water.

"My lord is awake?"

After she finished speaking, Shen Tang heard the sound of water dripping from a wrung-out cloth.

Shen Tang, being thick-skinned, quickly regained her composure after a moment of embarrassment. She got up and sat back on the bed, her gaze following the unfamiliar young girl as she asked, "Did you save me, young lady? Where is this?"

Lin Feng was taken aback by her question, but remembering Qi Shan and the others' instructions, she thought to herself that it was indeed the case; her husband really wouldn't remember what he did while drunk. She recalled the actions of the maidservants who had served her at home and handed the wrung-out cloth to Chen Tang: "It wasn't me who saved my husband, but my husband who saved me last night. This is a bandit stronghold outside Xiaocheng, but I don't know exactly where it is."

Lin Feng speaks clearly and articulately.

Shen Tang understood every single word, but she was completely baffled when they were combined.

"Bandit stronghold???"

He took the cloth blankly and habitually wiped his face.

The cool spring water stimulated my skin, and any lingering drowsiness vanished.

"I...I saved you???"

She had no recollection of any of these things.

Shen Tang couldn't help but suspect that someone had stolen her account while she wasn't paying attention. It was like not logging in for a few days, only to find herself in the top rank of the game, with her signature changed to "I helped you get there, you're welcome, noob."

Otherwise, how can you explain that you have no memory of it at all?

The little girl brought over another bowl of soup.

Looking at the unpleasant color of the soup, Shen Tang felt resistant.

Lin Feng seemed to understand her silence: "This is a hangover soup that Mr. Chu made. My lord must feel uncomfortable after a night of being drunk."

Shen Tang was taken aback: "Hangover? I didn't drink."

However, Lin Feng's expression clearly didn't tell the story.

Shen Tang: "..."

The little girl's mention of it made things worse; she could actually smell the lingering smell of alcohol on herself, mixed with damp sweat, fermenting and turning sour—the odor was truly unpleasant. Shen Tang sniffed the soup, realizing it was indeed meant to sober her up, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Tang asked, "What's your name, young lady?"

"Lin Feng, the Lin Feng of the wind under the trees." After saying that, Lin Feng paused, secretly watching Shen Tang's expression, and then added with a bite of his lower lip, "This is the name that my lord gave me last night."

Shen Tang clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Lin Feng? What a great name!"

Indeed, she is truly talented.

Even when she was drunk, it didn't affect her extraordinary performance!

"I saved you... but what about your family?"

She regretted her words as soon as she asked.

Lin Feng, the young girl, was dressed in fine clothes and was exquisitely beautiful, especially her pearly white teeth, which were like pearls strung together—something ordinary families couldn't afford to raise. Whether she encountered danger with her family or was kidnapped by bandits, if her family were still alive, she would never have been given the task of caring for them, let alone having her savior name their precious daughter.

Most likely, the family member has already met with misfortune.

Shen Tang's question is really inappropriate.

Lin Feng's answer confirmed her guess.

Hearing about the Lin family's plight, Shen Tang felt great pity and sympathy for the little girl. Her voice softened as she said, "Don't be afraid. Your family... I'll go down that cliff later and see if I can bury them properly. You can stay with me from now on."

No one knew what he had said to offend the young girl, but her bright, round eyes welled up with a blush and mist, and she lowered her head and murmured, "Thank you, my lord."

Shen Tang thought that she had gotten drunk and blacked out for no reason, and that the only thing she had done was save a life, which was considered a good deed, until she walked out of the earthen house.

First update |ω)

The update will probably be quite late, so everyone should go to bed early.
