Chapter 33 Are you here to eat pancakes too?
After Wen Lanzhi took the things down, Wu Ci Yan confirmed with her again.
Wu Ciyan asked, "Did you get the silver?"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Yeah!"
Wu Ciyan asked, "Clothes?"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Yeah!"
Wu Ciyan asked, "Jewelry?"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Yeah!"
Wu Ciyan asked, "Something you like?"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Yeah!"
Wu Ciyan was still worried and went up to check. "Aren't there still a lot of things in the room? You don't want them anymore? What are all these things on the floor?"
Wen Lanzhi had a good relationship with the people on the street, so since she had such good relationships, shouldn't she help out with their business? Besides, when people pushed things into her hands, she couldn't refuse. Over time, she gained a reputation as someone with a lot of money, and anyone could make a buck from her. Even if you were selling steamed buns, she'd buy two if you just praised her a bit.
Later, Granny Wang felt that she had bought too many things, so she ordered her to only take one or two taels of silver each time she went out.
Although Wen Lanzhi is not very smart, she is obedient. Because of her obedience, she saved a lot of money.
Wu Ciyan picked up a pile of "beautiful" stones on the ground and glanced at her.
Wen Lanzhi said, "If you like them, you can take them all! They are very valuable, three for one ounce of silver."
"Well... you know how expensive it is." Wu Ciyan stood up and said, "Go down, be careful not to fall."
A person without spiritual consciousness, memory, or a sharp mind, if he or she has even a little bit of kindness, would be considered a fool in the eyes of others.
She wanted to follow him, probably because she hadn't had a good time here these years, and she felt that since he saved her once, he would always save her.
Alas, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Wu Ci Yan thought that instead of letting her follow him and wait for death, it would be better to find a way to improve her brain.
He had no way of remembering anything, but as long as his brain worked, he could just start over.
Murong came back and took the big bag from Wen Lanzhi's back, "Miss Wen, let me help you carry it."
"Thank you." Wen Lanzhi turned her head to look at her.
A few people were walking on the street in the dark. Murong was worried that Wen Lanzhi would be scared, so she kept following her and talking to her.
Wu Ci Yan walked fast, but Murong didn't care. She knew Wen Lanzhi couldn't walk fast, so she walked slowly with her. If the young master was in a hurry, let him go first.
Wu Ci Yan walked for a while and found that the two people did not follow him. He had no choice but to walk and stop and wait.
Murong said, "Miss, just call me Murong."
Wen Lanzhi said: "Okay, then you can call me Lanzhi."
Murong asked, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want something to eat? I have some snacks in my room, I'll bring them to you later."
Wen Lanzhi said: "Okay, thank you Murong."
In the past two days, Wu Ci Yan has been staying in a small house. Firstly, he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, and secondly, he didn't want to be watched by people in the inn, so he asked Murong to help rent this small house. He usually didn't go out through the door, and always suddenly appeared in a store or a corner, so there was a saying that the dragon can only be seen from the head but not the tail. In fact, the "dragon body" has always been in the middle of the street, next to the teahouse, and can be seen by opening the door.
Wen Lanzhi put the things in the corner, and Wu Ciyan said, "This dress is too eye-catching, change it."
Wen Lanzhi responded and took out a blue dress from her bag. Wu Ciyan took the initiative to turn around and give her space to change clothes.
Murong came out from the inner room with some snacks in her hand, and she stopped in her tracks in shock. "Oh my God, what happened to you? These wounds..."
Wu Ciyan turned around when he heard the voice.
Wen Lanzhi had not completely taken off her clothes. She had just lifted up half of her inner garment, revealing her waist. Her skin, white and smooth like jade, was covered in glaring blue and purple. The worst part in the middle even had blood-red sand, as if it was about to ooze out blood.
She uttered an "Ah" and said, "I can't dance well, so my mother-in-law beat me."
Murong was furious and said, "This is too much!"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Everyone will be beaten, it doesn't matter."
Wu Ciyan asked, "Didn't I give you medicine for your injuries? Did you use it?"
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Isn't that the one who wipes the hair?"
After she finished speaking, she realized what was happening and answered herself: "Oh, you can also apply it on your body."
Wu Ciyan's lips were pressed into a straight line.
She put down her clothes, took out the medicine bottle with her left hand, poured the powder into her right hand, and was about to apply the medicine when she was stunned, as if she suddenly remembered that people only have two hands, and there is no "front hand" and "back hand" to lift her clothes.
Murong hurried over to help her, and Wu Ciyan turned around again.
Murong asked, "Does it hurt?"
Wen Lanzhi said: "Yeah, it hurts."
Murong helped her take off her clothes and found that there were also rashes on her back and legs.
Murong asked, "Why did you choose to be a dancer?"
Wen Lanzhi said, "Grandma Wang asked me to do it. At that time, someone wanted to sell me to a brothel, but Grandma Wang saved me and said she was willing to pay more money to buy me, so I followed Grandma Wang."
Murong cursed Granny Wang a little less in her heart.
She muttered to herself, "Indeed, dancing requires hardship. Yes, you can't dance without being beaten. It's right to be beaten."
"Getting beaten isn't right." Wu Ciyan's tone was a little bad, "but saving the girl is right."
Murong thought to herself: I can hear it from such a distance.
Of course she knew that Wu Ci Yan was right. She just felt upset and wanted to find words to comfort herself.
Wen Lanzhi said, "Grandma Wang said that if she didn't beat us, we wouldn't make any money and wouldn't have anything to eat."
No one responded to her.
Both of them knew that Granny Wang's restaurant relied on this to make a living. Although beating people was wrong, they had no choice. Granny Wang depended on these girls for their livelihood, and these girls also depended on Granny Wang for their livelihood. If they didn't beat them, they wouldn't be diligent, and if they weren't diligent, they wouldn't have food to eat. Anyone who stood up for them and said that being beaten was wrong would definitely be scolded, "Then you find them food to eat." If no one could stand up for them, they would still be beaten.
Wen Lanzhi was not good at dancing, but fortunately she was obedient. Because she was obedient and could earn some money, Grandma Wang was willing to give her a bed to lie on.
Murong asked, "Hey, I see that the girls in the restaurant are all sharing a room with five or six people. Why are you sharing a room by yourself?"
Wen Lanzhi said, "Because someone beat me, I went to tell Granny Wang. Granny Wang said that wherever I went, it was the noisiest and very annoying, so she cleaned up the tea room upstairs and gave it to me. That room is the coldest in the winter, but I think it's pretty good. No one beats me anymore... hehe."
No one answered again.
Murong helped her put on her clothes and took out some snacks from the package. "There are only two left. They are a little dry. Wait a minute, I'll make you a pot of tea."
Wu Ciyan stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared.
Murong said: "Don't be surprised, young lady. He is often like this. He leaves suddenly when something happens."
Wen Lanzhi shook her head, stuffing her mouth with snacks, taking one bite after another, as if she was starving. "Will he come back?"
Murong said with a smile: "Of course he will come back. We haven't finished our work yet."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Mu Rong, what is your relationship with Mr. Wu?"
Murong said: "Friend."
Murong was once a celestial being. Three hundred years ago, when Wu Ciyan was a wanted criminal throughout the Heavenly Court, they had met. Back then, Wu Ciyan, young and full of energy, stirred up a storm in the mortal world, demanding that the Heavenly Court stop persecuting the demon realm and recall the priests and heavenly soldiers stationed there. He then single-handedly attacked the Heavenly Court and nearly slaughtered the Heavenly Emperor.
After his failure, he hid in the mortal world. As a native immortal, Murong was taught that all beings are equal, and she could not accept such blatant discrimination. She argued with reason, but was dismissed as nonsense.
She secretly supported Wu Ci Yan, helped him to pass on information and stop the heavenly soldiers and generals. When she heard that he was looking for the Qin Qing Fruit that could greatly increase people's power, she helped him to inquire about the information.
Later, she was exposed and sent to the mortal world, and she lost contact with Wu Ciyan.
They met again six years ago. Murong had found the Qinqing Fruit, and after consuming it, her cultivation greatly increased, allowing her to regain her place in the ranks of the immortals. When she returned, she heard that Wu Ciyan had re-entered the Heavenly Court and killed the Heavenly Emperor. Although he hadn't said a word, no other priest dared to provoke him in the demon realm.
Murong asked him where the other Qinqing fruit was, and he said he couldn't find it.
He said that at the last moment, he went to the Heavenly Palace to confess his sins and was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, where he nearly died. He absorbed the magical power of the monsters in the tower and escaped. Because he absorbed too much, his body could not bear it and he almost died, but for some reason, he did not die.
Murong thought it was a miracle.
But Wu Ciyan said, "No, it wasn't a miracle." He clearly remembered why he had fought so hard to get out of the Demon Locking Tower. If it weren't for this obsession, he might not have been able to get out. But now, he didn't remember.
It must be that too much demonic power got out of control and devoured the obsession in his mind, causing him to lose the most important things and forget how he survived.
To get it back, you can go through the lost treasure of heaven - Jinyu.
So after he found Qin Qingguo, he came out to look for Jin Yu.
After Murong finished speaking, Wen Lanzhi was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Murong was thinking about telling a joke to lighten the atmosphere when suddenly, the room was filled with mist.
Wu Ciyan appeared with a bowl of steaming wontons.
Wen Lanzhi licked her lips and said, "It smells so good."
Wu Ciyan put the wontons on the table and pushed them towards her, "This is the only one we have."
"For me?" Wen Lanzhi asked uncertainly.
Wu Ciyan nodded.
Wen Lanzhi's hands were already frozen stiff, so she quickly picked up the warm bowl and started eating.
Murong whispered, "You're a really nice person."
Wu Ciyan said: "Well, it's indeed good."
Murong's smile froze on her face. This man was not humble at all.
The next day, when Wen Lanzhi appeared on the street again, she was alone again.
She wanted to eat some pancakes from the street, but Wu Ciyan thought it was too conspicuous, so he didn't go with her. Murong hadn't woken up yet, so Wen Lanzhi went alone. She could still do things like buying pancakes. She used to get up early to eat them, and she would give the owner a little extra money to ask for more shredded radish.
She jumped up and down and got punched on the head.
She felt pain but was not surprised. She turned around and saw that it was the gangster from the street again.
She didn't quite understand what a gangster was, but everyone told her that this person was a gangster, so she knew.
The gangster asked, "How much money did you bring today?"
No matter how dumb Wen Lanzhi was, she knew this was a robber. "I won't give you any money today."
The gangster didn't care what she said and went straight to her purse.
Before Wen Lanzhi could protect her purse, a shadow flashed by, and then she heard the gangster next to her scream and fall to the ground.
She looked over, but her view was blocked by a broad figure.
The gangster didn't know what hit his hand, and the pain made his whole arm numb, but he didn't want to lose face, so he rolled over and shouted, "Who is it! How dare you hit me..." When he saw who it was, he swallowed all the words.
He swallowed and tried to run.
Wu Ciyan grabbed his collar and said coldly, "Apologize."
People around gathered around, cheering and clapping. Soon, they surrounded the three people in a circle, and the thugs couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
The news that Wen Lanzhi was redeemed by Wu Ci Yan last night has spread throughout the streets and alleys. I thought I would never see this girl again, but I didn't expect to see such a big drama when I woke up early in the morning.
Everyone guessed that Wu Ci Yan and Wen Lanzhi would not live here for a long time.
The thug was also very adaptable. He changed his arrogant attitude and knelt down, holding the purse in both hands. "Miss Wen, I'm sorry! I, I, I, I shouldn't have taken your purse! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"
Wen Lanzhi took the purse, patted it twice, and tied it around her waist again.
Wu Ciyan said, "Get lost!"
The gangster crawled out of the crowd.
Wu Ci Yan and Wen Lanzhi wanted to move forward, so everyone had to make way for them. However, they were afraid that they would get angry if they kept staring at them, so they soon hid far away and started talking about them in secret.
Wu Ci Yan wanted to move forward, but Wen Lanzhi just stood there, pinching her collar, not knowing what she was doing.
Wu Ciyan tilted his head: "What's wrong? Are your clothes uncomfortable?"
Wen Lanzhi took two steps forward, raised her chest, and said, "Benefactor, can you please grab my collar too? Just like you did to that guy just now... Benefactor! Benefactor!"
Wu Ciyan had already left when she was halfway through her sentence. Wen Lanzhi had to hurry up to catch up.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Mr. Wu, you came here to eat pancakes too? I brought a lot of money today, I can treat you."
Wu Ciyan certainly didn't come for this, but it was fine, so he said, "Okay, you go in."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Do you want to buy one for Murong?"
Wu Ciyan said, "You buy it."
