Chapter 377: A Fool Asks a Fool
If you leave Cangjie, you must go through Chengping County, which is the only way to Xiling.
Chen Che did this to avoid the soldiers, and took the Great You map he had obtained from He Zhiyu earlier and arrived at Cangjie smoothly. But if he wanted to move forward now, he had to leave Chengping County and replenish supplies.
It was not because of anything else, but because the terrain of Chengping was rugged and there were countless swamps. If you were not careful, it would be more dangerous and time-consuming than walking through the county town.
Late at night, Qiao Wanyan sat in a carriage and looked out the window at the city wall in the distance with torches on it.
The city gates are closed and we can only enter the city early tomorrow morning.
As long as you enter the city, you will have a chance.
I didn't meet anyone along the way, the only one I met was a group of bandits. They killed me before I even got close to them, without even saying a word.
"Drink some calming soup to avoid being unable to sleep."
The carriage was left to Qiao Wanyan, and Chen Che slept outside.
Although what he said normally was very confusing, he did not cross the line at this time. He got off the carriage without waiting for the other party to speak and gave her space to rest.
Qiao Wanyan glanced at him at the window. "Even the past few days, you gave me the tranquilizing soup before going to bed. This is to lay the foundation for today, right? When I don't wake up this time, I will be in the city when I open my eyes again, or I will be out of the city directly if the dosage is larger, right?"
Chen Che remained calm, "You worry too much, this is just a calming soup, nothing has been added."
"Then drink it. I can sleep well without the calming soup after being outside for a long time."
Chen Che nodded without saying anything more, scooped up a spoonful and drank it, opened his mouth to indicate that he didn't have anything in his mouth, then threw the spoon to Su Fei and handed the bowl to her.
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, actually nothing was put down.
Only after taking the bowl of soup with both hands did Qiao Wanyan feel at ease and drink it all up.
Just after he finished drinking it and before he could pass the bowl of soup to Shen Che, he heard a crisp sound and the bowl of soup fell to the ground.
Chen Che smiled, "I took the antidote in advance."
Qiao Wanyan's eyes went dark and she cursed "bitch" as a cunning woman before she fainted.
The window was closed, and Chen Che chuckled and left, "I will enter the city alone in disguise tomorrow morning, you send her into the city and act separately."
Su Fei nodded, "Yes, Master."
The footsteps gradually faded away. Qiao Wanyan slowly opened her eyes, took the pillow that had just been placed on her legs aside and covered it with a blanket.
Half of the square pillow was soaked with the soothing soup. It was dark at night and they were in the carriage. Even though Chen Che was standing next to the carriage, he couldn't see clearly that she didn't drink it just now.
Qiao Wanyan sneered silently. Fight with her? Shen Che is so young and still just a child!
But Qiao Wanyan didn't expect that the tranquilizing soup really didn't contain anything, and Chen Che was just playing along with her.
I was too defensive, but it was all unnecessary worry.
The sunlight made the glazed tiles hot, and as the sun set, a ray of sunlight passed through the crack in the window and cast a shadow on Qiao Wanyan's face.
She frowned slightly and turned her face inside, and her eyes opened instantly as if she remembered something.
What came into view was not the carriage that had not left for several days, but a room.
Look at the furnishings, this should be inside an inn.
Qiao Wanyan sat up suddenly. When did she enter the inn? She didn't even know?
This carriage was not luxurious, so it was very bumpy when moving. She was not a deep sleeper, so it was impossible for her to not wake up.
The door creaked open, and Shen Che walked in with food, "I knew you should wake up."
Shen Che put the food down, seemed to see her confusion, and explained patiently.
"I used aphrodisiac incense this morning, and there really was nothing added to the calming soup last night."
He pulled the table to the bedside, picked up a piece of cherry meat with a bowl and handed it to her lips, "I'm sorry, miss, please eat something."
Qiao Wanyan said nothing, just lay down with her back turned, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Chen Che looked at her sudden indifference, sat down on the bed and started eating slowly.
"I want to take a bath."
Chen Che didn't hesitate, "Okay. Su Fei, go prepare hot water."
Outside the door, Su Fei responded immediately, and soon someone prepared and delivered a skirt made of the best fabric in Chengping County.
Chen Che untied the ribbons around her wrists and ankles, "Call me if you need anything. I won't be far away from you."
Qiao Wanyan ignored him. After everyone left and the door was closed, she immediately got out of bed and ran to the window to open it.
This is the first floor. When I opened the window, I saw Su Fei smiling awkwardly at me.
The window was slammed shut, and the smile on Su Fei's lips froze.
After a while, the door creaked and a small gap appeared, and half of Qiao Wanyan's face was revealed in the gap. Her cheeks were slightly red and she seemed a little embarrassed, but there was no embarrassment in the words she said.
"My period has come."
Shen Che blinked and looked at her face for a long time, not knowing what this meant.
But listening to her calm tone, could it be that she was talking about something very profound that she didn't understand yet? If she didn't know, would she be laughed at?
Shen Che nodded, "Yeah."
Qiao Wanyan: ""
"I said my period has come."
Chen Che was silent for a long time before he said, "Wan Yan, you know my current situation. Asking musicians to come here at this time will bring me trouble. If you like, I will prepare a hundred musicians for you when we arrive in Xiling, okay?"
Qiao Wanyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment's pause, she explained, "You idiot, every woman will have her period. If you don't understand, go ask someone. Get something ready for me! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll smear blood on your face!"
After saying this, Qiao Wanyan felt a little annoyed. How could she say such vulgar words?
It’s all Chen Che’s fault!
Chen Che immediately asked: "Blood? You are bleeding? Where, let me see!"
Qiao Wanyan couldn't help but slap him, "Why don't you just die? Go out and ask!"
After saying that, he slammed the door.
Pulling his hair would certainly cause him pain, but since that day, this guy has tied all his hair into a crown and never let down a single strand of hair.
No matter whether it hurts or not, just make yourself happy.
Chen Che gently stroked his face and smiled slightly, looking very satisfied.
"Do you know what menstruation means?"
Su Fei was slightly stunned when he heard what his master said, and then he said with a guilty conscience: "Musician... I know! Master, how many do you want to find?"
Everyone knows this. Is the master crazy to ask this? Does he think he is a person from the mountains who never goes out of the house?
Shen Che paused, and Su Fei knew that he didn't know.
He said angrily: "Then what are you still doing here? Go find it!"
Half an incense stick of time later, after taking a bath, Qiao Wanyan looked at the two musicians holding the Pipa, put her hands on her hips and scolded Chen Che and Su Fei.
The two musicians didn't dare to breathe, their legs went limp with fear as they listened to the scolding with their eyes blindfolded.
