Chapter 192 Menstrual Period
When they parted last time, Lin Yuesha promised to give him a purse when they met again, and now it's time to fulfill that promise.
"Brother Yun, I..."
Lin Yuesha didn't want to see him off anymore, but the pockmarked face had saved her life again, and she felt bad about it.
The purse has two sides, one for yin and one for yang; the yin side features a beautiful woman, which is really...
She was wrong. The pockmarked man was a gentleman, not a lecherous scoundrel, nor was he a repressed pervert; it was her cautious heart that mattered.
“I saw you were wearing a purse, that one.”
Xiao Qi took the purse from Lin Yuesha's hand. He hadn't seen the portrait of the beauty inside yet, and he was very curious about it.
Is the little girl secretly in love with the pockmarked man? If so, could it be her own embroidered portrait?
In front of Lin Yuesha, Xiao Qi naturally turned over, and the air froze, falling silent once again.
The beauty inside has a blurry face, which is bad enough, but where are her clothes? Why are there no clothes? And why are there red dots on her chest?
Lin Yuesha covered her face, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Waaah, she had completely lost face today!
"What's this?"
Xiao Qi forced himself to calm down. He was relieved that his younger sister hadn't fallen for the pockmarked man and even wanted to play a trick on him. At the same time, he felt a sense of loss.
"We're out of embroidery thread at home, so this is a semi-finished product, cough cough, a semi-finished product."
It was just a matter of adding a piece of clothing, but Lin Yuesha blushed more and more as she spoke, and she really wanted to cry.
Being exposed to someone's face is incredibly embarrassing.
"No need, this is fine, I just happen to need a purse."
Xiao Qi calmly turned the purse over, revealing the bamboo inside.
"Brother Yun, how's your good friend Big Beard doing?"
Lin Yuesha shifted her gaze elsewhere and quickly changed the subject, asking a question.
"He is outside the pass."
The two had met just a few hours ago, but Xiao Qi couldn't possibly tell the truth.
"Oh, if only we could get in touch with him, and have him deliver a message to Sister Red Peach."
Hongtao, that person, isn't exactly a good-natured person, but he's not a bad one either.
Red Hearts is very serious about Big Beard's feelings, and if Big Beard doesn't contact her again, Red Hearts will probably continue to wait.
Xiao Qi raised his eyelids. So that guy was also messing around with unwanted romantic advances?
"good."
He agreed, and the room fell silent again.
"Brother Yun, what's that little wooden house for?"
The silence was awkward, so Lin Yuesha could only keep trying to find topics to talk about.
After eating and drinking her fill, she was exhausted and wanted to find a place to sleep. But being with the pockmarked man, who wasn't family, felt a bit awkward.
“There is also a heated kang (a traditional brick bed) upstairs. To prevent wild animals from entering the house, I usually sleep upstairs.”
Xiao Qi explained that it was safer upstairs, but the little girl had twisted her ankle, so he would sleep upstairs tonight.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yun."
After Lin Yuesha finished speaking, she was about to stand up to wash up when she lost her balance and stumbled forward. Then she felt a warm flow below her.
She had just had a stomachache and thought it was from being exposed to cold wind and drinking hot soup, the alternation between hot and cold causing it. When Lin Yuesha touched her hand, she found it was covered in bright red blood, and she froze on the spot.
"Little girl, are you hurt?"
Upon seeing the blinding red before him, Xiao Qi lost his composure for the first time, feeling only panic and confusion. He picked up Lin Yuesha and prepared to go down the mountain to find a doctor.
"Brother Yun, put me down first."
Lin Yuesha took a deep breath, then blushed and said, "It's not that I'm injured, it's just... I got my period."
The feeling was familiar, so Lin Yuesha quickly accepted it.
She only drank the prescription given by the pockmarked woman for half a month, but the effect was unexpectedly remarkable. Now even her period has started early.
No wonder, she's been experiencing some pain in her chest lately.
"A comfortable life?"
Xiao Qi was shocked and looked his younger sister up and down. He didn't know much about women, but he understood now.
"yes."
Lin Yuesha calmly limped into the bathroom. What worried her was that she hadn't brought any change of clothes or menstrual pads.
She thought being around someone with a pockmarked face was awkward enough, but an even bigger shock awaited her.
Lin Yuesha was very worried and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a long time before he went to the kitchen to fetch water and boiled a cup of ginger and brown sugar water.
"Brother Yun, do you have any cotton? Cotton cloth will also work."
Lin Yuesha hid in the bathroom, too embarrassed to come out.
"There is cotton cloth, as for cotton..."
Xiao Qi calmly opened the cabinet and took out a cotton quilt.
Lin Yuesha peeked out, took the two items to the washroom, and deftly sewed a menstrual belt with needle and thread.
At this moment, she finally understood that although Hongliu was convenient, if she didn't know how to sew, she would wish she had died on the spot.
When she finally emerged from the bathroom, Lin Yuesha was speechless again upon seeing the flower-patterned quilt.
Is there anything else I can do?
Lin Yuesha washed her clothes and was looking for a place to dry them. She hid her underpants behind her back, looking rather timid.
These are extraordinary times, not the time for sentimentality. It's the middle of the night and there's nowhere to find a change of clothes.
"Go to the kitchen and warm yourself by the fire; I've added more firewood."
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he pushed the ginger water to Lin Yuesha, and, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, quickly went upstairs.
Lin Yuesha warmed herself by the fire and made a few replacement menstrual pads. She wondered why the pockmarked man, who resembled her older brother, was such a womanizer, even knowing to drink ginger and brown sugar water during menstruation.
Is a man like this really someone you can entrust your life to? Anyway, these days, most men who get friend-zoned can't find girlfriends.
After drying her clothes, Lin Yuesha felt drowsy. Her eyelids drooped, and she finally couldn't resist falling asleep.
The next morning, when Lin Yuesha woke up, she found a package next to her containing not only a change of clothes but also a menstrual belt.
Where did these things come from?
“I went down the mountain, entered the village, and bought it from the village chief’s house.”
Xiao Qi lied without batting an eye, saying that his clothes were stolen by his men from a closed clothing store, and his menstrual belt was also taken along.
In short, the source of their wealth is dishonorable, but since the shops in the city are currently closed, this is the only option they have.
He ordered his men to find the two items, and he could clearly sense that his men's eyes were strange, as if they were looking at a beast. Xiao Qi swore that he had never been so embarrassed.
"Thank you, Brother Yun."
Lin Yuesha was deeply moved to find a change of clothes. In modern times, many men are unwilling to buy sanitary napkins for their girlfriends, feeling ashamed. But here in Daqi, it was truly rare for someone with pockmarked face to go out of his way to find these two items.
"So what did you tell the village chief's wife?"
Lin Yuesha changed her menstrual belt and asked with a relaxed expression, "You can't exactly say it's for your wife, can you?"
"Otherwise what?"
Xiao Qi was furious. Luckily, he had given the order to his subordinates; otherwise, if he had actually gone to the village to look for them, he would have been seen as a lecher.
The little girl is his nemesis; she's always causing him trouble.
