Finally, Qiu Yan also bought cinnabar to use as a lubricant.
Otherwise, if only the above-mentioned ingredients are used to make eye drops, the eyes will inevitably become dry and uncomfortable.
Fuan Street was deserted, with people coming and going, but more than half of them were beggars.
As Qiu Yan and Qin Susu walked side by side, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
Thinking about her upcoming trip, Qiu Yan was thinking of buying some cotton-padded clothes, but unfortunately, she didn't have any.
Unbeknownst to Qin Susu, she began to feel fortunate.
Fortunately, they were not born in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
"This is no place for a human to live."
As Qin Susu spoke, she looked at the desolate street.
"What's even more brutal, haven't you seen it too?" Qiu Yan was referring to the cities that were engulfed in flames.
Qin Susu couldn't help but lower her eyes, "War is too terrible."
Qiu Yan: "What's scary is ambition."
She wondered to herself how the previous emperor of Northern Qi had governed the country.
Gu Qian attacked the city, but he never harmed the people or took a single penny from them. How did the people manage to live like this?
This place is much more desolate than their border city of Dongjin.
Suddenly, a light drizzle began to fall.
A cold wind swept by, and Qin Susu sneezed.
"This weather is awful, it's so cold."
"The cold is yet to come." Qiu Yan's words made Qin Susu hug herself tightly, her arms wrapped around herself.
"I really miss your big, warm bed." Qin Susu imagined herself completely wrapped in a quilt, and felt even colder.
Because of the rain, the pedestrians in Fu'an City were jogging, those with homes were going home, and those without homes were looking for a place to stay.
Qiu Yan and Qin Susu quickened their pace.
When they returned to the carriage, the soldiers were having a meal.
Qiu Yan ate a simple meal and then began baking her newly bought minerals with the help of the cook's spatula.
After the meal, the army regrouped and began to march.
The light drizzle was not enough to slow their march.
The north wind blows, and it gets utterly cold.
The soldiers huddled together, hoping to get back to Dongjin as soon as possible.
Gu Xiaoran stopped asking to ride a horse.
He and Zhu Juan huddled in the carriage, wrapped in quilts, listening intently as Qin Susu recounted her and Qiu Yan's story in the Western Regions.
"You don't know, that King Lu is a complete coward. For the sake of the stability of his country, he's willing to sacrifice his own daughter..."
At this point, Qin Susu suddenly looked up at Gu Xiaoran:
"Xiaoyan treats you so well, she's definitely better than her own children."
As she spoke, she shrank further into Gu Xiaoran's blanket. Even though Gu Xiaoran disliked her, she was still happy and didn't care at all, just kept shrinking in.
"What are you afraid of, little girl? Do you think I'd eat you?" Qin Susu shamelessly persisted.
"Nonsense, I am my mother's biological daughter." Gu Xiaoran retorted, but did not clarify that she was not a girl.
He felt that his mother liked her daughter.
Zhu Juan covered her mouth and chuckled softly. The young mistress is quite lucky to have met such a master.
In her mind, a stepmother shouldn't be a close friend.
Not to mention stepmothers, there are plenty of biological mothers who don't like their own daughters. She couldn't help but think of Tian Xiuniang, that arrogant and domineering woman.
Suddenly, Qin Susu stared intently at Gu Xiaoran and asked:
"Is your name Yu'er or Xiao Ran?"
When Gu Xiaoran was suddenly asked the question, she shut up and remained silent.
He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and upset his mother.
