Therefore, Chu Qi refused Zhuang Ya's request to look at her back to verify her identity.
Zhuang Ya looked very disappointed, but it was not easy for her to forcefully pull open the back to check.
After persuading her a few more times, seeing that Chu Qi still refused to listen, he could only nod his head in regret.
"Okay, then don't verify it. Third Aunt is probably in Wujian Villa now. If you have time, you can go look for her in person."
"This is three thousand taels. Consider it my advance gift to you."
Zhuang Ya handed Chu Qi three thousand taels of silver notes and a purse of change:
"Take it, and try not to steal again. I have to say that your stealing skills are terrible. If I hadn't been there to cover you, you would have been discovered by the assassins..."
She muttered, and although her tone was complaining, her eyes were full of smiles.
Chu Qi was a little embarrassed. Was her stealing skill really that bad?
She didn't accept the money Zhuang Ya gave her because she had enough money of her own.
Zhuang Ya had expected Chu Qi’s refusal. He gave a sly smile, threw the silver on the table, then fell backwards and disappeared into the night without a trace.
Some people even came forward to give her money. Chu Qi felt helpless, and then...she accepted the money with a clear conscience.
Chu Qi was sweating after going out to keep watch in the middle of the night. She went downstairs and asked the waiter who was on guard for hot water to take a shower.
When she was taking a shower in the middle of the night, the waiter glanced at her with an ambiguous look and said with a chuckle:
"Would you like a few more buckets of water, sir? I'm afraid one bucket is not enough."
Chu Qi: ".......No need."
After taking a shower, she used her inner strength to dry her skin and slightly damp hair ends.
When I returned to the room, Lin Yue was still awake, holding a dry towel in her hand.
She found that the young man was dry all over and his hair was not wet as she had expected. She put the dry towel away with some disappointment.
"Go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow."
Chu Qi didn't understand what the little girl was thinking. He entered the room and blew out the oil lamp directly, and the room fell into darkness.
The only source of light was the faint white moonlight outside the window.
In the spacious room, there was a temporary bed placed next to the table.
Chu Qi specifically asked the store to put this in, and paid extra money to do so.
Although Chu Qi's soul is that of a girl, her body is that of a man. She can't share a bed with Lin Yue.
As for the clichéd scene where one person sleeps on the bed and the other squeezes on the floor, Chu Qi had never even thought about it.
It’s not like you can’t afford the extra money, so why should you put yourself in a difficult position?
After turning off the lights, Lin Yue couldn't see the young master clearly, so she whispered, "Good night, young master," then lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
Chu Qi also slept with her clothes on.
The next morning.
In the early morning light, Chu Qi woke up on time and then went downstairs to get the breakfast provided by the inn on time.
Today we had steamed buns and porridge. The buns were stuffed with dry cabbage and had little fat, and the porridge was served with only pickles.
But it was good to have something to eat, so Chu Qi took her own portion without any disgust.
I went out and bought a tray of pork and leek dumplings, ten large pork-filled buns, and twenty steamed buns.
In this weather, the steamed buns can be eaten for a whole day, and the steamed buns without oil can at least be saved until the next day.
Chu Qi bought a lot, just enough for midnight snacks.
In addition, among the items Chu Qi bought, dry food was a part, and he also bought a lot of dried bacon, so as not to go hungry on the road.
Before, when I was in the brothel, I was required to maintain a slim figure, and I had to control my intake of oily food.
Having meat buns and juicy dumplings to eat early in the morning was something I had never experienced before when I was about to give birth.
She swallowed unconsciously, being overwhelmed by the aroma of the food.
But she didn't dare to eat too much at once, so she just ate one meat bun and stopped.
Chu Qi didn't indulge her, so she directly handed her a steamed dumpling: "Eat more, we'll be on our way later."
"......Yes." Lin Yue did as she was told and took a bite, the soup from the dumplings splashed all over her mouth.
The fresh and fragrant soup, the tender pork and leeks, and the soft and elastic dough, all kinds of flavors explode in your mouth, it is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
Lin Yue fell in love with the taste of the xiaolongbao at first bite.
Without Chu Qi's urging, he couldn't help but add several more, and only stopped when his stomach was 90% full.
People who practice martial arts consume more energy, and Chu Qi feels that his appetite has improved a lot.
She ate four big meat buns, half of a steamed dumpling, and all the porridge went into her stomach.
When she was nine-tenths full, she stopped, wrapped the remaining food in oil paper and stored it carefully.
Holding the food and carrying the package, Chu Qi went downstairs to check out.
At noon, she and Lin Yue got on the carriage.
When she bought the carriage yesterday, she also learned how to drive it, saving the trouble of finding a coachman.
Chu Qi was not very skilled at the beginning, but after driving for a long time, he became proficient.
Commanding the carriage out of the city gate, Chu Qi headed towards the heroine's small mountain village.
The small mountain village is located in Yucheng, which is about a thousand miles away from the capital.
It is impossible to travel day and night in a horse-drawn carriage, and the horses need to eat grass and sleep to replenish their energy, otherwise they will be exhausted to death before reaching the destination.
Therefore, according to Chu Qi's estimation, it would take at least a month to reach Yucheng from here.
Well...this is the case if nothing unexpected happens. If something unexpected happens, we will be delayed on the road.
There is no use thinking too much, you can only take one step at a time.
On the official road, a carriage pulled by two horses was moving very fast.
***
The carriage was bumpy, and Lin Yue discovered for the first time that there were things in the world that were even more disgusting than learning how to please a man.
That is, taking a horse-drawn carriage.
It is difficult for an ordinary carriage to be stable. Although Chu Qi tried her best to buy the most expensive carriage and decorated it to make it more comfortable, Lin Yue was still dizzy from the bumpy ride.
Occasionally, the carriage would pass over a gravel road, causing the people inside to be shaken and fly into the air.
"vomit--"
Lin Yue covered her mouth and tried hard to resist the urge to vomit. She felt that she had experienced all the sufferings she would have to endure in her life in advance.
'What is the purpose of life?'
'Why do people live?'
'Can the carriage disappear?'
The above is her sincere question.
Chu Qi heard the noise in the carriage, let out a "whoa", and ordered the horse to stop.
After parking the car at the edge of the official road, Chu Qi lifted the car curtain and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ugh—I, I want to vomit."
Lin Yue's beautiful eyes were red and filled with tears, like a frightened dead rabbit. Any unnecessary stimulation could make her explode immediately.
"Come out and vomit."
Chu Qi quickly held her wrist.
Lin Yue followed the young master's support and slowly stepped out of the carriage, then vomited under a tree by the roadside.
The sky was dark and gloomy.
When he vomited, he vomited out all the food residues he had eaten in the morning.
Lin Yue stared at a pool of unknown object on the ground with tearful eyes, and then reacted belatedly.
My indecent behavior was actually seen by the young master throughout!
'What is the meaning of life?'
A pale question floated through the little girl's head...
