Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 835: You Don’t Need to Inherit My Family’s Golden Finger (1)
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Qu Shichu was sitting in the corridor leading to the backyard of his house as usual, waiting for various creatures to appear, including humans, animals, spiritual plants and all intelligent things.
Soon, a heavy, staggering sound of footsteps slowly came from the woods in the backyard. Qu Shichu was suddenly alert and looked fixedly in the direction where the footsteps came from.
A tall man wearing tattered black armor appeared, covering his bleeding chest with one hand and holding a one-meter-long sword in the other. When he saw the tall, strangely shaped, brightly lit building suddenly appearing in front of him, he immediately stopped vigilantly and looked at Qu Shichu's house with a serious and puzzled expression.
Qu Shichu stood up, went out the back door, and walked to the backyard. The tall man immediately looked at her warily, slowly raised the long knife in his hand towards her, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you? Where is this place?"
Qu Shichu raised his hands to show that he was not a threat or defensive to him, and replied as usual: "I am the owner of this house, Qu Shichu, you walked into my backyard."
"Your backyard? Wasn't I on the battlefield in West City? How did your house appear on the battlefield? Even if you lie, you should have some common sense." The tall man obviously didn't believe Qu Shichu's words at all, and still looked at her warily.
Qu Shichu said: "It's not that my family appeared on the battlefield, but that you have left that battlefield, or in other words, you have left your own native world and come to my world.
To put it simply, my world and your world are like two cities far apart. They didn't know each other's existence, let alone any communication. But one day, a road suddenly appeared between the two cities. Some lucky people would walk on this road at a specific time, from the city they lived in to the other city. And my backyard is this road. Is this explanation clear to you?"
The general who came down from the battlefield obviously still didn't quite believe it and didn't quite understand it, but he nodded to indicate that he had heard it clearly.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. If you don't want to, you can wait in my backyard until tomorrow morning, and then you can go back directly. If you want, I can let you come in and rest for a while. Of course, there will be a charge for that." Qu Shichu continued.
Although the man was still skeptical, his eyes were not as sharp and vigilant as before. He looked at Qu Shichu's house carefully and found that it was different from any building in his world. Moreover, the dazzling lights that could illuminate the night into day were not something that could be created in his world. There were also some strange things, all of which showed that what the young woman in front of him said was right.
Qi Yuanjiu thought that he was seriously injured at this time, and the only serious consequence would be death. Anyway, he didn't expect to come back alive after going to the battlefield this time. Now that he came to this strange place, it would be good to broaden his horizons before dying. So he thought it through and simply gave up his guard. He said to Qu Shichu: "I want to go in and rest, but I don't have any money on me. I wonder if this jade pendant can cover the cost of taking me in?"
Qu Shichu took the jade pendant from him and took a look at it. It was clear and flawless, and obviously very valuable, so she nodded: "Okay, come in with me."
Qi Yuanjiu followed Qu Shichu in. Qu Shichu took him directly to the bathroom and said, "I think you need to wash yourself first. By the way, are your injuries serious? Can you take a shower by yourself?"
Qi Yuanjiu nodded: "Yes, I can take a bath." His injuries were indeed serious, but he could still take a bath by gritting his teeth, and he was not confident in letting this man help him.
However, when he looked at the bright and clean little house in front of him with all kinds of strange things, he was stunned for a moment. He did not see the bathtub, so he turned to look at Qu Shichu.
Qu Shichu introduced to him how to use the bathroom and the uses of various cleaning products in a familiar manner, and gave him a set of men's home clothes, then let him take care of the bathing problem by himself.
While Qi Yuanjiu was taking a shower, Qu Shichu began to prepare food and medicine for him. Seeing that he had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he must be hungry. And looking at his tattered armor, it was obvious that he had many wounds on his body.
Qu Shichu quickly fried three dishes. The rice was the leftover rice from her previous dinner. She simply added some ham, eggs and corn kernels to it and stir-fried it to make the golden Yangzhou fried rice on the side.
When she finished cooking, Qi Yuanjiu came out of the shower. He was wearing a gray men's home suit. If it weren't for his obviously stiff limbs and long hair dripping with water, others would have thought he was just an ordinary man with an outstanding appearance.
Qu Shichu took out a hair dryer, turned it on and handed it to him, saying, "Blow dry your hair."
Qi Yuanjiu was very smart. He quickly understood the purpose of the hair dryer and started to blow his long hair with clumsy movements.
Qu Shichu looked at him openly and found that his hair was very well grown. It was black, shiny, thick and smooth. He could just style his hair like he wanted to be in a shampoo commercial.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Yuanjiu noticed her gaze and asked her expressionlessly while blowing his hair awkwardly.
"Look at your hair, it grows very well. Do you have any secret to maintaining it?" Qu Shichu asked very frankly. It would be great if there really was a secret. Nowadays, so many people are worried about hair loss. If there was a way to reduce hair loss and maintain hair, many people would be willing to pay a large sum of money.
Qi Yuanjiu obviously didn't expect Qu Shichu to say that. He was stunned for a moment before he pursed his pale lips and said, "No, I just washed it casually with soap nuts."
"Oh..." Qu Shichu was a little disappointed. It turned out that it was the congenital genes that played a role.
More than 20 minutes later, Qi Yuanjiu dried his hair and Qu Shichu brought out the food. Qi Yuanjiu did not refuse and ate all the food without hesitation.
Then we have to start treating his wounds.
"Take off your clothes. I will treat your wound." Qu Shichu said to Qi Yuanjiu calmly, holding a medical box.
Qi Yuanjiu froze, raised his eyes and said, "No need, just give me the medicine and I'll take care of it myself."
"Are you trying to avoid suspicion?" Qu Shichu frowned. "In my world, doctors are both male and female. In the eyes of doctors, a patient's body is no different from a piece of meat. You don't need to care about it."
Qi Yuanjiu stared at Qu Shichu expressionlessly, his pale lips tightly pursed, and he said nothing.
