Mu Run was actually half asleep, but she heard every word Bai Shalu and the boatmen said.
Feeling dizzy and weak, she had absolutely no appetite.
"No, I'm on a diet." She made up a random excuse and continued to drift off into a daze.
Losing weight? She's as skinny as a chicken carcass, and she wants to lose weight? She'll just be skin and bones. But since she didn't want to eat, he didn't bother to call her anymore. So he took the food basket that Steward Yang had prepared for Mu Run and went to the bow of the boat to eat with the boatman.
Each boatman received two meat pies, and he ate one first.
"Master, the donkey meat in this sesame seed cake is really delicious," a boatman said.
Bai Shalu replied, "Yes, this is made by Yang's mother, Grandma Yang, by hand, a family heirloom."
"I told you, it's so delicious, I can brag about it to my buddies later."
"Indeed, it's rare to find Grandma Yang's cooking these days. We're so grateful to our bandit leader's wife."
"Thank you, madam," the boatman called out towards the thatched hut where Mu Run was.
...Mu Run closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
...
The sun was setting in the west, and the moon had already risen early, a pale crescent hanging in the sky.
The canal gradually became lively, with fishing boats, brightly colored flower boats, and general merchandise boats selling fruits and vegetables.
Mu Run's tea intoxication had finally subsided, and when he came out of the tent and saw this lively scene, he was quite amazed.
"Master Bai, where is this?"
Bai Shalu glanced back at the sleepy-eyed Mu Run, "I am three years older than the chieftain. When we are out, you can just call me brother."
“Oh, Brother Bai,” Mu Run readily agreed, “It’s so lively here.”
"This is Minzhou territory. Minzhou also produces tea, and it's even official tea. Should we go take a look? Let's find out the market beforehand." Knowing his own limitations, it's best to stop here and avoid making a fool of himself in Jiangzhou.
"Great!" Mu Run's eyes shone brightly, and he wished he could fly to Minzhou City immediately.
Seeing that she was not only not afraid, but also very interested, Bai Shalu smiled faintly and asked, "Are you really going?"
“We must go, absolutely we must go,” Mu Run replied. “Besides, it’s not safe to sail at night. If we encounter bandits or something, our journey will have been in vain.”
Fearing he might disagree, Mu Run strongly urged him to go.
"Alright, you don't look too well. Go to the city to rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Yay~ Thank you, Brother Bai." Mu Run smiled happily.
Seeing her so happy like a child... she really didn't seem that big? Bai Shalu's gaze quickly swept over Mu Runping's flat chest, and he roughly guessed what Fu Yunchen liked. No wonder so many plump and slender women couldn't catch his eye, it turned out he liked this kind.
There was no curfew in Minzhou City, and it was quite lively at night. Mu Run wandered around and looked around. There were all kinds of snacks on the roadside. He patted his stomach, which hadn't eaten all day, and his appetite gradually returned.
"Brother Bai, I'm hungry," Mu Run said to Bai Shalu.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shalu looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"
"Losing weight doesn't mean not eating," Mu Run said matter-of-factly.
Bai Shalu stopped and looked at her, saying, "Okay, I'll take you to see the delicious food in Minzhou."
Mu Run nodded eagerly, "Okay."
Bai Shalu led her through the streets and alleys with practiced ease.
Mu Run asked, "Brother Bai, are you familiar with this place?"
Bai Shalu: "Yes, that's where I met Fu Yunchen, and it was here that I made a mistake that led to my eternal regret."
