Chapter 36: Taking a Small Job
After Jin Mu finished speaking, Shen Yu did not respond for a long time.
Just when Jin Mu thought he disagreed with this approach, Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Okay, send them all to her."
After a pause, he continued, "Send someone to the warehouse to prepare the herbs immediately. We'll set off for the side courtyard in half an hour."
"Yes." Jinmu replied. Just as he was about to turn around, his expression suddenly changed. "General, you said... us? You want to go too?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. "She put all these random people into the side yard. Should I go over and take a look? The mute woman and the others are still in the side yard. What if some bad guys sneak in and hurt them?"
What a legitimate reason.
But if it were in the past, the general would not bother to explain so much to him.
Jin Mu shrank his neck in disappointment, knowing in his heart that the general's trip was clearly for other purposes.
Shen Yu rolled his wheelchair towards the door, "By the way, go to the study and get that brocade box."
Jin Mu's expression hardened, "You want to show that thing to Miss Xiao Wan?"
As if he had thought of something, Kaneki spoke hesitantly.
"General, that thing is so important, do we really need to show it to Miss Xiaowan? Even the military advisor can't figure it out, will it be useful for Miss Xiaowan?"
He also admired Miss Xiaowan's ability to find dragons and locate the blood, but the matter was of great importance, so he had to be doubly cautious.
Shen Yu said in a deep voice, "She is very knowledgeable and always surprises us. Since we can't figure out what she is doing, let's show her. Maybe we can get some unexpected results."

The stone table in the backyard was filled with more than a dozen bottles and jars, all of which Chen Zhou had bought from rouge shops all over the city.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "These scar-removing ointments are so valuable. Just this small jar is enough for us to eat meat for several days."
Wen Wan picked up a can, opened the lid and smelled it. "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, it has to be effective, otherwise it's a waste of effort."
Wen En stood quietly behind Wen Wan.
Ever since he moved into the side courtyard, except for the first time when Chen Zhou took him to take a bath, he almost always followed Wen Wan.
He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, and did whatever Wen Wan asked him to do.
"Winn, come and smell which one you like. We'll try that one first today. We'll try all of these later and see which one works best."
Wen Wan kept talking like a chatterbox, "Don't worry, even if nothing works, we can look for something else later. We'll always find something that works."
"Yeah." Winn responded obediently again.
He pointed to one of them at random.
Wen Wan said suspiciously, "You chose it without even looking at it?"
Don't you care about these ointments?
Winn said nothing.
Wen Wan curled her lips and said, "Alright, it's all a matter of luck anyway, any bottle is about the same."
She picked up the bottle he chose, pulled him to sit aside, rolled up his sleeves, and applied the medicine for him.
The deep and shallow skin wounds made her scalp tingle. She suppressed the discomfort and wiped the pink scars.
When applying the medicine, Winn subconsciously retracted his hand.
Wen Wan paused, raised her eyes and said, "Did I hurt you? I'll be gentler, if you really can't bear it..."
The boy and Shen Zhou both looked up at her, as if waiting for her to come up with some amazing pain relief method.
Unexpectedly, Wenwan smiled maliciously and winked at them.
"If you can't help it, just cry. While you're still a man, cry when you need to. No one will laugh at you. When you're an adult, if you cry, I'll laugh at you for the rest of your life."
Shen Zhou: “…”
That’s it?
But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
When Wen En heard this, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
But he wouldn't cry after all. He didn't cry even when he was whipped to a bloody mess. How could he possibly frown when applying medicine?
He dodged just now not because of the pain, but because her fingertips were too tender.
When her warm fingertips touched his skin, the touch made him feel cherished.
This strange feeling made him want to get closer, but he instinctively retreated.
When Jin Mu pushed Chen Yu into the side yard, he happened to see Wen Wan gently applying medicine to the pale and thin boy.
Shen Yu's light grey pupils shrank, and his gaze was cold.
Kaneki: "Miss Xiaowan."
Wen Wan heard the voice, turned around and smiled at Jin Mu, but when her eyes fell on Shen Yu, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
The change of expression was quite obvious and not concealed at all.
Shen Yu's face became even darker, and Jin Mu was also embarrassed.
Fortunately, there is another member of the atmosphere group in this yard, Chen Zhou.
"Brother Chai, Brother Jinmu." Chen Zhou flew to Chen Yu and Jinmu like a happy little bee.
"Brother Chai, didn't Mute Po say that you were injured and couldn't come to the side hospital to see us during this period? Why are you here today? Did your injury heal so quickly?"
Shen Yu raised his hand and touched Shen Zhou's head, "The injury hasn't healed yet, I came to ask your sister Xiaowan for help."
As he spoke, he looked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan turned her head to him without even looking at him.
Shen Yu sighed helplessly and winked at Jin Mu.
Kaneki walked over with a large cloth bag, placed it on the stone table and opened it, revealing a pile of bottles and jars inside.
"Miss Xiaowan, I heard you were looking for herbs to remove scars. These are high-quality ointments from the capital. They are definitely more effective than those you buy outside."
Wen Wan glanced at the ointments and felt a little conflicted inside.
Although food given out of pity may be unpleasant to the teeth, who cares about it when you are hungry?
Winn really needs these plasters.
Seeing her hesitation, Shen Yu frowned and said, "Take it. I'm not giving it to you for free. I have conditions."
When Wen Wan heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If there are conditions, then we can make a deal.
Doing business is much better than owing favors to others.
Wen Wan looked him straight in the eye and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Shen Yu: "Simple, I need you to help me look at something."
Looking at something?
Wen Wan pondered for a moment, her eyes lighting up slightly.
She stood up and walked to Shen Yu, bent down close to his ear, and asked in a low voice: "Is this something you brought out from the ancient tomb?"
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at her in surprise.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Wan said confidently, "It seems I guessed right. Okay, I agree to this deal."
She had done a lot of work in her previous life, such as looking at things, identifying them, and researching their origins.
When she was studying for her master's degree, she followed her supervisor to look at antiques. She wouldn't say she had a very good eye, but she was definitely not inferior to the average antique dealer.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to exchange this little bit of work for a batch of expensive scar-removing herbs.
