Chapter 54 Preparing for a Long Journey
That night, Shen Yu suffered a lot of frustration.
After finishing the meal, his face darkened.
When the wine was finished and everyone was leaving, Shen Yu pulled Wen Wan to the corner of the yard.
"What are you angry about?" Shen Yu asked with a frown.
Wen Wan's expression remained unchanged. "No, I'm not angry."
Shen Yu: “…”
Are all women so inconsistent in their words and deeds? No wonder the book says that only villains and women are difficult to raise.
He sighed, "If you say no, then so be it. Let's get down to business."
Wen Wan took a step back without leaving a trace, putting some distance between them and him. "I'm taking money and eliminating disasters. Since I've accepted your money, I should do my best."
Her words and actions showed that she wanted to distance herself from him.
Hearing this, Shen Yu's brows knitted even tighter.
"Based on our experience from the previous two ancient tomb searches, the tombs we're looking for are all built on top of temples. So while I was injured, I had my men search for temples within a hundred miles."
After hearing this, Wen Wan couldn't help but show a look of approval, "Smart!"
I have to say that this young captain's IQ is completely online. If he were in modern society, he would definitely be a genius student in a top university.
Shen Yu smiled proudly, "They did find two ancient tombs, but they didn't contain what we were looking for."
"Nothing?" Wen Wan asked in surprise, "Have you searched all the surrounding temples?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu sighed.
Wen Wan was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Could it be that the ancient tomb isn't around the border town?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "Impossible. The person who hid the things in the ancient tomb left behind accurate information. The tomb is undoubtedly in the border town."
"So, aren't we completely lost? The border town is so big, it's impossible to find a needle in a haystack. If I search every hilltop, how long will it take to find it?"
Wen Wan was a little annoyed. If it was in the past, she wouldn't mind slowly wasting time with him, but now...
Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "There is one last place, but we haven't looked for it yet."
A place that even they couldn't find easily?
Wen Wan thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Is it the valley near Mobei?"
A few days ago, she asked Jinmu for a map of the border town, and she noticed the valley at that time. Judging from the terrain of the valley, it was a good place to build a temple.
She actually guessed it right on the first try.
Shen Yu glanced at her deeply, and felt regretful again. If she were a man, with this wit, she would definitely achieve great things.
Wen Wan waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the valley."
Now, it was Shen Yu's turn to be surprised.
He asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Wen Wan blinked, "How could I not be afraid? But you've told me so much, aren't you just waiting for me to say this? Could it be that... because we're near Mobei and the danger is increased, you're not planning to look there?"
"We will definitely go find it." Shen Yu gave her an affirmative answer, "But if you don't want to go, we won't force you."
Wen Wan waved her hand. "Alright, stop playing the game of retreat with me. If this is really the ancient tomb you're looking for, it must be full of traps. If I follow you, you'll be safer."
After a pause, she opened her hands to Chen Yu again, "But wages still need to be paid. As the danger increases, the wages must be doubled."
Shen Yu's eyes fell on her fair and tender palm, his eyes darkened, he slowly raised his hand and scratched her palm.
A tingling sensation came from the palm of her hand. Wen Wan was startled and instinctively clenched her fist, but just happened to wrap his fingers in her hand.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, when we come back safely, I will double the money I gave you last time."
"So generous! I love being friends with rich people like you!"
Wen Wan was blinded by the money and laughed so hard that her body shook. She shook his fingers and said something in a rude way.
"You agreed to my request so readily. If I asked for not only money but also you, would you also agree without hesitation?"
Wen Wan said this just to tease the handsome guy.
It's not that I have any big intentions, I just want to talk big and satisfy my desire to talk.
She had teased him many times, and every time at this time, she could see his uncomfortable and awkward look.
So this time, she just said it casually without really thinking about it carefully.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly pinched her chin and kissed her directly.
Wen Wan widened her eyes, completely out of her mind.
Just kiss!
Is it so casual?
Shen Yu stepped back with an unsatisfied look on his face, and said softly, "If you want me, you can come anytime. There's no need to wait so long."
Wen Wan: “???”
The offense and defense have been switched?
Why did this bastard suddenly stop playing by the rules?
Wen Wan pushed him away, kicked him in the calf angrily, and cursed him twice.
"rogue!"
Shen Yu frowned, and a deep and rich voice came from behind her.
"When you kiss me casually, you're not a hooligan? When I kiss you, I'm a hooligan? That's not fair."
Wen Wan: “…”
As expected, a shameless person is invincible.
She was careless!
*
Two days later, Wen Wan packed her things and prepared to go on a long journey with Shen Yu.
She got up early in the morning to pack her things, and also bought some rice, flour and oil in advance and put them in the kitchen.
When Wen En woke up, he saw her coming out of the room with a bag on her back.
He was horrified. "Where are you going?"
Wen Wan smiled, "I've just received a job and was just about to wake you up to explain a few things. I bought some ingredients and put them in the kitchen, which should last for about half a month. I've put the scar removal medicine in the drawer in the main room. When you're done, you can go find Agui; he has a place to buy it."
She took out a banknote from her bosom and said, "Take this money and spend it on anything you want to eat or play. If it's not enough..."
Wen Wan leaned closer to him and said in a low voice, "I have hidden a spare banknote in the gap between the wooden boards under my bed. You can go and get it when you are short of money or need an emergency."
Unexpectedly, after hearing her earnest advice, Wen En suddenly shook her hand away, his eyes red with anger.
He demanded, "Are you so eager to abandon me?"
Wen Wan held her forehead and said, "I'm not abandoning you. I'm just going to do some work and will be back in a few days."
Wen En sneered, "Can you guarantee that you can come back safely and intact?"
Wen Wan curled her lips, "Of course!"
Winn leaned forward and took out the dagger that was sticking out of her bag.
"You're bringing this with you because the place you're going to is dangerous, right?" he asked coldly.
Wen Wan curled her lips, "You have good eyesight."
She wanted to argue that she was only wearing it for self-defense. She was thinking about what excuse to make.
But Winn didn't give her a chance and snatched her bag away.
"I'll go with you."
Wen Wan refused without thinking, "No."
