Chapter 4, Failing to Steal the Chicken, Instead Losing the Medicine
Do you know Andy Lau? I asked in a low voice
"Sister Hu, Sister Hu!" I leaned out of the window and shouted loudly. On this side, Chengde frowned slightly, and a thin, dark man pulled me back into my seat. On the other side, Sister Hu also heard my call and waved at me.
He seemed to be somewhat awake and asked, "Where is it?"
It clearly says 'Daughter's Charm' on it, can't you read?" he said, pointing at a small label on the bottle. Oh my God! I really can't read!
You little brat, don't think that I wouldn't dare to strip you of your pants. It's not like I haven't seen a naked man before. Am I afraid of you? Just watch me strip you bare and throw you out onto the street!
"Sit down, please. You sit down as well; I cannot eat while you are standing!" I said to the thin, dark man. He seemed not to hear and continued to stand straight. I had no choice but to look at Chengde, who smiled and said to the man, "Fengshan, you should sit down too; there are not so many rules outside." Upon hearing this, the man bowed and softly said, "I have overstepped my bounds," and then finally turned to sit down. The door curtain was lifted, and a gentle voice sounded, "Little girl, what are you doing here?" Sister Hu peeked in, and upon seeing two men inside, she was taken aback, standing at the door as if hesitating whether to enter.
"Hero, please save me completely, don't leave me here all alone!" I exclaimed anxiously. It is pitch dark, and I am in a desolate wilderness; I cannot dare to be here by myself.
"That must have caused you some suffering. This time, you should return with us, right?" Chengde said with a smile.
"Sister? Hehe, do you know how old I am that you call me sister?" the woman said, although her tone seemed to complain, the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy. I thought to myself, does this lady not understand your own psychology? Women, who doesn't wish to remain eighteen forever? Clearly, her face bore the marks of forty-eight, and when you speak, you must at least subtract twenty for her to be happy. "Hmm, is sister in her early twenties?" I asked, feigning an innocent expression, but the combination of her attire and this expression seemed a bit odd!

I asked, feigning an innocent expression, but the combination of her attire and this expression seemed a bit odd!
"So do you want to toy with men?" I shouted again
The woman smiled gently at me and said, "Little girl, there is no need to be so startled. As women, we cannot match men's strength, so we must employ other means, don't you think?"
The shopkeeper's face showed a look of difficulty as he glanced at the golden melon seeds in his hand. I smiled, understanding his meaning; it seemed that this amount of money was insufficient. I casually took a few more from my pocket and tossed them to him, saying with a smile: "Is this enough now?"
"I am so itchy! I am so itchy! Tie Niu, hurry up and scratch my back!" shouted the man in the lead. The man named Tie Niu was also scratching his own arm vigorously, "Brother, I am itchy here too, I am so itchy." The few people were so itchy that they could not sit still; in a moment, their faces and necks had already been scratched raw. One person, unable to bear the itch, began to slap his own face fiercely. The people around were stunned and quickly moved away from the few men, standing at a distance to watch.
I was regretting here when suddenly a scream came from the table over there. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the group of big men who had snatched the table from the woman in the green dress. For some reason, they were all scratching their faces and pulling at their cheeks, as if they had been infested with lice.
My gaze followed that man intently, and I truly wished he would sit down in the shop. Unfortunately, God did not hear my prayer, as he requested a guest room and then went straight back to his room.
It is possible that it is not yet business hours, which is why most of the young women are still in their rooms and have not come out
"Miss! You must sit sideways; sitting like this is not proper. One should sit like you when riding a horse. Here, women ride donkeys sideways!" the shopkeeper muttered.
"Sister Hu, come over and eat with us! Come on," I hurriedly stood up, pulled her in, and seated her beside me, smiling as I said, "What a coincidence, Sister Hu, to run into you here. This is my brother; he has come to find me." Sister Hu smiled, without even a moment of confusion, and I couldn't tell if she understood the meaning of my words. "This is my brother! I told you before that I ran away from a marriage; my brother has come to find me, and I am going to go home with him now," I said with a smile. "Well, as a young lady, you really shouldn't be wandering around outside," she said softly, glancing at Chengde briefly, and smiled slightly. Chengde, being quite polite, also nodded slightly at her.
After lunch, I began to tidy myself up. I had bought everything: coarse cloth clothes for the old woman, a headscarf, and a piece of coarse cloth to wrap around my waist. Well, I gave him so many melon seeds, and he bought me these things. It's fine; during extraordinary times, I won't hold it against him. I started to dress myself up, tying my hair into a bun at the back, wrapping it with a headscarf, and adding a few gaudy silk flowers. I darkened and thickened my eyebrows, applied a heavy layer of white powder, bright red rouge, and added a matchmaker's mole at the corner of my mouth. I looked like a matchmaker version of a beautiful woman, and even I felt like throwing up at the sight of myself. Others usually dress as men, right? So vulgar! Too vulgar! And clearly, I am a woman; how could anyone not see that if their eyes weren't blind? I insist on dressing as an old woman, and a gaudy one at that. Haha, weren't you from Chengde chasing after me from all directions? I will not run away; I will just follow behind you and walk with you, just to see if you will notice. I insist on dressing as an old woman, and a gaudy one at that. Haha, weren't you from Chengde chasing after me from all directions? I will not run away; I will just follow behind you and walk with you, just to see if you will notice.
I sat to one side, watching this group of somewhat frenzied women, yet I felt no anticipated joy in my heart. I could only sense Chengde's gaze piercing through them and landing directly on me, so intense that it seemed to stab through my body, reaching deep into my heart, causing it to tremble. "Rong'er..." His deep, hoarse voice carried a hint of pain, managing to cut through the clamor of those women and reach my eardrum, like a spellbinding sound echoing in my ears
I nodded and said, "Buy me a set of clothes for a maid, and also a bundle. Additionally, buy me a donkey."
"Yes, indeed!" I nodded eagerly and said, one cannot judge a person by their appearance! I could not have imagined that this seemingly delicate woman could be so formidable. I had been watching her and had no idea when she had poisoned those few individuals. Could it be that it was just from sweeping the table a few times? "Sister," I said with great sincerity, "I know it is inappropriate to make such a request upon our first meeting, but I believe that someone like you, a celestial being, is rare and hard to come by. If I miss this opportunity, I fear I will regret it for the rest of my life, so I must ask you to please agree to my request!" The woman looked at me, somewhat puzzled as to why I had suddenly become so talkative.
Indeed, the woman laughed charmingly, her laughter like a flurry of blossoms, and said, "What a sweet-tongued girl!"
"Brothel! How is it?" I said with a smile, finally satisfied to see the change in his expression.
I looked at her with annoyance as she laughed heartily. Laugh! Laugh! If you keep laughing, you might just lay an egg! I cursed inwardly. After breakfast, she was set to leave for Pandu and asked me if I was going the same way. I, of course, regretfully told her that I had to go to the capital of Zhou, and it was a pity that I couldn't accompany her. After seeing her off, I hurried to a money exchange, where I traded some gold coins for copper coins to fill my bundle. The small bundle immediately felt heavy, and this sense of security was comforting. I estimated that the woman had gone far, and I mounted my little donkey to set off. I couldn't tell if the donkey was too full or still thinking about the steamed bun from yesterday, but it didn't nibble on any wild grass or flowers along the way.

I couldn't tell if the donkey was too full or still thinking about the steamed bun from yesterday, but it didn't nibble on any wild grass or flowers along the way. It was just too pathetic; whenever someone approached from behind, whether it was a cart or a horse, the donkey would eagerly move aside to give way, and there were times I wished it would just step off the road.
"The appearance is quite good, but unfortunately it is a bit old, haha," one person teased.
"Was last night good? Looking at you, with red eyes and swollen lips, it seems you had a good time!" Red eyes and swollen lips? My eyes are red because I didn't sleep well, and my lips are swollen because of mosquito bites! Those damn mosquitoes, they not only bit me all over but even my lips were not spared, one bite on the upper and one on the lower lip, how fair is that
I looked in astonishment at the group of people, then at the calm-faced woman sitting across from me, speechless and simply staring at her, finally realizing that I had encountered a remarkable person today
"Hurry up, hurry up! If we lose sight of the handsome man in front, I'll make you into donkey meat buns tonight!" I scolded angrily. By the time we arrived at Wanquan Town, it was just getting dark. Upon entering the town and inquiring, I learned that Walle's wedding procession had not stopped here and would likely stay at Sanlipu to the north tonight. No wonder the town was bustling with people; it turned out the Japanese had not entered the village. Since Sanlipu had been requisitioned by the 'Summer Resort,' the travelers who originally planned to rest there had all been driven here, resulting in every inn in Wanquan Town being fully booked and business thriving. After searching for a while, I finally found an inn with a vacant room, booked it, and then sat downstairs waiting for my meal. Looking around, there were a total of seven or eight tables, almost all occupied. The table by the window had no food, only a woman in a blue dress sitting alone, probably in her forties, yet her beauty was striking, though her age showed with the signs of wear on her face. Alas, a beauty in her twilight years, what a pity, I sighed inwardly. Looking around, there were a total of seven or eight tables, almost all occupied.

"Fortunately, your drug is lost; with that drug of yours, how could it possibly incapacitate this man? Do not be deceived by his appearance; his strength is quite profound!" Sister Hu said, "Alright, girl, this time I have helped you without expecting any repayment. I do not wish to provoke the people of Wale. I shall take my leave now; you must take care of yourself. You can wake them up with water, but the effects of the drug will last for twelve hours. Otherwise, even if they wake up, they will be as weak and powerless as if they were disabled." After saying this, Sister Hu left. You can wake them up with water, but the effects of the drug will last for twelve hours. Otherwise, even if they wake up, they will be as weak and powerless as if they were disabled." After saying this, Sister Hu left.
"By the way, also, get me some other things." I called the shopkeeper over, leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear. The shopkeeper's expression changed from a smile to surprise, and finally settled into a knowing smirk of "I understand," as he nodded in agreement.
Finally, a bold prostitute shouted out, causing the others nearby to double over with laughter, and one even playfully punched her. I jumped off my chair and rushed in front of Chengde, lifting his face and shouting, "Alright, ladies, take a look at how this gentleman looks!" Chengde's face had turned a deep shade of blue with anger, the veins on his forehead bulging out. He was at a loss for words and unable to move, just staring at me intensely, which made me feel somewhat guilty, and I dared not meet his gaze.
The young man bowed to me and said, "Hehe, dear madam, please don't be in a hurry. How about you count the hairs on your donkey first, and then I'll take it away for you? This way, there won't be any misunderstandings later. After all, there aren't many hairs on it, so counting them will yield a rough estimate!" Hey! This scoundrel! I was so taken aback that I almost lost my breath. He bowed to me again and led the donkey away, leaving me standing at the door, trembling with anger.
"You little girl, if you like someone, you like them. Just now, from your words and demeanor, you didn't seem like a common person. How come now you are acting like that little woman?" She started to lecture me, and I couldn't help but think, who among us is pretending more skillfully?
"You go ahead and put it on credit! I will settle the account later!" the shopkeeper scolded, then turned around with a smile and led me to the room
Then you should give it a try! he chuckled softly
Wow! Your waist is so well-shaped! This waistline... this butt... so perky... sexy... really sexy... comparable to Ricky Martin! The touch feels so good... Why isn't he saying anything? Why are the muscles so tight, everywhere feels so firm...
I am not sweet-tongued; I am honest and say whatever is on my mind. Sister, please do not take offense. I wonder how you saw through my disguise just now? Here I am, calling you sister sweetly! In this world, being a bit sweet-tongued is not a bad thing. Given your understanding, I will tell you this: although your outfit is barely acceptable, your hands reveal your age. I looked down and saw that Fuyong clearly comes from the exploiting class. Although her face is not particularly attractive, her hands are as tender as spring onions. This lady was so busy applying makeup to her face that she completely forgot about her hands.
I stayed at an inn as usual, relying entirely on this spirited donkey, which managed to keep pace with the wedding procession ahead, maintaining a distance of one day's journey. The journey went quite smoothly. Although there were often three to five officials riding by on horseback, they never caused me any trouble. Thus, I traveled for seven or eight days until I arrived at a large city—Wan City
... ...
Hello, Sister Hu, your eyesight is truly remarkable. We have indeed provoked the nobility of Waller. This time, I must thank you, sister. The potion I had on me has been lost, and without you, I would have been captured by my brother!
As I was reflecting on the art of riding a donkey, I suddenly heard the sound of hooves approaching from behind. I turned my head to see a person on a horse coming up behind me, riding a magnificent black steed, a handsome knight. I silently praised, what a sight! This is the true way of traversing the rivers and lakes! My donkey, quite aware of the situation, without any prompting from me, obediently moved to the side of the road, automatically making way for the rider. "What a spineless fellow!" I scolded. My donkey, quite aware of the situation, without any prompting from me, obediently moved to the side of the road, automatically making way for the rider. "What a spineless fellow!" I scolded.
The best is yet to come! I said fiercely, and as I spoke, I pulled off his shirt. His skin was truly good, clearly a product of the exploiting class. I recklessly touched him all over with my hands, while calling out: "Tofu, eating tofu, the white and tender tofu!" That day he bit me! Today, I will bite you back!
Finally, he stopped, yet did not turn around. He casually threw something over, and I hurriedly reached out to catch it, but failed. The object struck me suddenly, causing a sharp pain in my body, and then I realized I could not make a sound, nor could I move. That scoundrel! That bastard! That worthless hero! That despicable, shameless, filthy, vile fellow! I directed all the curses I knew at him, but unfortunately, I could not utter a sound! I found myself unable to speak or move. That scoundrel! That bastard! That worthless hero! That despicable, shameless, filthy, vile fellow! I directed all the curses I knew at him, but unfortunately, I could not utter a sound! "No sound, no matter how good the play, cannot be performed." Thus, in a remote wilderness by a small river, I stood there like a statue, as the water flowed past me with a "whoosh..." Mosquitoes buzzed around me like bombers... "No sound, no matter how good the play, cannot be performed."

Ah! I see, the waiter replied earnestly, and then went over to ask the shopkeeper for money
No, no! I have only met this handsome guy twice in total, and I absolutely cannot force myself on him! I wonder how potent this spring medicine is; could it be deadly? Should I ask him to tie me to the bed and wait it out, or should I simply invite Ding Xiaoxian to come out and take me away? He squinted his eyes and scrutinized me.
I am astonished! Oh God! I thought I was strong enough, but I never expected to encounter someone even stronger! She! She actually urged me to go flower picking in the middle of the night! Heaven! Is she a woman from ancient times? Could she have also come from the past?
Hey—don't go! I shouted, but he seemed not to hear.
Oh?
The women were momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly fell silent, not a single person moved. After a brief pause, someone suddenly cheered, and indeed, they headed towards Chengde. With a leader emerging, the rest followed suit in a frenzy, touching faces, touching bodies, and some even reaching their hands downwards
Upon seeing the gold, the shopkeeper immediately reacted, his face beaming with a smile as he said: "Of course, of course, why don't you go inside and rest for a while? I will send someone to buy it for you right away"
I forced a laugh, "Hehe, hehe, I can't sleep, so I lit some calming incense in my room. Hehe, now it's fine, I've inhaled it all myself, no need to light it anymore, I’ll just go to sleep, good night." Yet he refused to let go, and I helplessly smiled foolishly at him again. It's over, this time it's really over, I might just faint here in a bit. Retribution, retribution, I was just trying to learn from others how to pick flowers! He wouldn't just wipe me out in a fit of anger, would he? I could only smile foolishly at him again, it's over, this time it's really over, I might just faint here in a bit. Retribution, retribution, I was just trying to learn from others how to pick flowers! He wouldn't just wipe me out in a fit of anger, would he?
Handsome! Is it time for this aunt to make a profit? I smirked and used a dagger to pry open his shirt buttons. If only he could cooperate with some sound this time, like a scream or a loud shout of "Female thug! Let me go!" I would definitely be happier, but why is this guy not making a sound?
Could it be that to pursue a handsome guy for the first time really requires some tactics? Is that a bit lacking? The books all say that handsome guys are attracted to the female lead! My palms are already sweaty; it's really nerve-wracking to do this for the first time. It's fine, it's fine, I don't really want to do anything serious, I just want to secretly take advantage of him a little, I won't really do anything to him. I comforted myself, besides, even if I plan to pursue him, I need to conduct a field investigation first, right? My palms are already sweaty; it's really nerve-wracking to do this for the first time. It's fine, it's fine, I don't really want to do anything serious, I just want to secretly take advantage of him a little, I won't really do anything to him. I comforted myself, besides, even if I plan to pursue him, I need to conduct a field investigation first, right?
At midnight, everything outside had fallen silent, and there was no sound coming from next door. I couldn't tell if that handsome man was asleep or not. Seeing that he wore a precious sword, I guessed he was another skilled martial artist, so it was better for me to be cautious. Carefully, I left my room and approached the window next door. The moonlight was just right, casting a silvery glow on the window.
"Sister, please take me as your disciple!" The woman was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "You little girl are quite adorable; why do you suddenly bring up this request?" My expression darkened, and I lowered my head slightly, whispering, "To be honest, sister, I am afraid of being found by my family when I go out like this. I lost my father when I was young and have been living with my brother and sister-in-law. A few days ago, my brother, driven by greed for money, insisted on marrying me off to a man over fifty years old. I refused, and they even wanted to hit me." As I spoke, tears began to fall, 'drip, drip,' rolling down my cheeks and landing on the table, turning into drops resembling milk.

As I spoke, tears began to fall, 'drip, drip,' rolling down my cheeks and landing on the table, turning into drops resembling milk. Alas, too much white powder has indeed been applied!
I raised my head and looked with satisfaction at the row of bite marks I had left on him. Then I looked at that fellow, whose eyes began to glow green again, and he said in a low voice: "Is that all the courage you have? You only dare to take off my shirt?"
With trembling hands, I took out a small bamboo tube from my pocket, retrieved the small bottle containing the hallucinogenic drug, poured some into it, dipped it in saliva, moistened the window paper, and gently inserted the bamboo tube. Just as I was about to bring my mouth close to it, someone suddenly slapped my shoulder, startling me so much that I inhaled sharply and stood up straight from the ground
"Young lady, why are you not sleeping at this late hour? What do you intend to do?" he asked coldly
With a loud "thud," I felt water rushing in from all directions, and my head suddenly plunged into the water. With a quick motion, I instinctively struggled to stand up, feeling a chilling sensation! Immediately, my mind became clear, and I wondered, who threw me into the water? As I glanced around, I happened to see his dark face.
Cough cough! Cough cough! Immediately, a choking sensation nearly caused me to lose my breath. It was over; the hallucinogenic drug had all been inhaled by me. I turned around and saw that handsome face looking at me coldly. Not daring to indulge in my infatuation, I forced a smile and said, "What a coincidence, we meet here. Do you live in this room? Ah, no, I made a mistake, I took a wrong turn." Saying this, I turned to walk back to my own room, but just as I took a step, he pulled me back. His hand was like an iron clamp, gripping my shoulder with excruciating pain.
I cut down two sheets with a dagger, wrapped them around my feet, and stealthily descended the stairs. Fortunately, this inn was occupied by Chengde and his companions last night, and it is still early, so no other guests have arrived yet; the courtyard is quiet. I walked into the front hall, where a middle-aged man resembling a shopkeeper was busily calculating on an abacus behind the counter, while a young attendant was wiping the tables. I gently backed away towards the door, and just as I was about to exit, the shopkeeper heard the noise and looked up. I quickly stopped and pretended to have just come in from outside. I approached the front hall again, where the shopkeeper was still busy with his calculations, and the young attendant continued to clean the tables. I backed away gently towards the door, and just as I was about to exit, the shopkeeper heard the noise and looked up. I quickly stopped and pretended to have just come in from outside, asking, "Shopkeeper, are there any guest rooms available?" The shopkeeper was taken aback, but then assumed I was a new guest who had just entered, and hurriedly came out from behind the counter with a beaming smile, saying, "Yes, we have excellent guest rooms. May I ask what kind you would like, miss?" However, when he saw that I was barefoot, he was once again taken aback. It is known that in the State of Zhou, a woman's feet are considered even more private than her chest and should not be exposed. Although I was not showing my feet at that moment, I was still without shoes, which would seem quite strange to an ordinary person.
No need, I still have to hurry on my way, please bring my donkey to me
I diligently served them food, and Sister Hu had quite an appetite, sampling a couple of bites from each dish with great elegance. One hand held the chopsticks while the other slightly rolled up her sleeves, presenting the demeanor of a refined lady. I closely followed her lead, serving food to Chengde and Fengshan from whichever dish she chose. However, those two seemed disinterested in eating, which made me anxious to the point of sweating. Gritting my teeth, I decided to eat myself, then picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and offered it to Chengde, saying, "Brother, try this; it's very tender and smooth." As I spoke, I raised the chopsticks to feed him. Chengde was taken aback by my action, and I followed closely behind her, serving food from whichever dish she chose.

As I spoke, I raised the chopsticks to feed him. Chengde was taken aback by my action, and his face showed surprise. It is important to note that I hadn't even changed my chopsticks and had just eaten, so it was extremely rude to serve food to others like this. However, seeing that the meal was about to end and Chengde and the others hadn't even touched their chopsticks, I couldn't care less! Chengde was momentarily stunned but opened his mouth, and I hurriedly stuffed the bamboo shoot into his mouth. When I pulled back my chopsticks, I noticed a pause; it turned out that Chengde had gently bitten my chopsticks and even smiled at me.

I pretended not to notice and went to serve Fengshan. As I brought the food to his mouth, he turned red and refused to eat, no matter what. Chengde glanced at him indifferently, and he hurriedly lowered his head, shoveling the food from his own bowl into his mouth. I pretended not to notice and went to serve Fengshan.

Sister Hu smiled gently and took a small bite, saying, "Not bad, though it lacks the strong flavor of the dishes I make; still, it is passable." Upon hearing this, I was overjoyed, as it seemed she at least understood my intention. Chengde looked at me with a faint smile, his expression resembling that of my brother, yet only I knew what lay beneath that human facade. Fengshan sat upright, not moving at all, only occasionally glancing at me and Sister Hu with the corner of his eye.

Let us not engage in unnecessary chatter; I will speak plainly. I said
It seems we are no longer in the same field, never mind, never mind, but why did what she said touch me so deeply? In the middle of the night, he is sleeping beside me, allowing me to take advantage of him, haha, it might even be a tofu feast!
I was playfully eating by myself, occasionally feeding Chengde a bite. Although I secretly wished to pour an entire plate of food into his mouth and then ask Sister Hu for a bottle of the drug to force down his throat, I dared not attract too much attention, fearing that Chengde would notice. "Alright, girl, stop feeding him, that's enough!" As soon as Sister Hu finished speaking, Chengde suddenly collapsed onto the table. Fengshan's expression changed dramatically; he had just stood up to attack Sister Hu when he fell to the ground with a thud. "Alright, girl, stop feeding him, that's enough!"

"Well, my brother taught me the same lesson. No more talking, no more talking, let's eat vegetables, let's eat vegetables!" I said with a smile, serving some dishes to Sister Hu, and asked, "Sister, how does this dish taste? I find the flavor a bit bland." Hmph! I hope this woman doesn't pretend to be confused. As long as she helps me this time, I will treat her like a goddess, and next time I see her, I will definitely say she is only eighteen!
He stood in the water with me, the water reaching only his waist, while it was almost to my chest; this is the difference! "Are you awake now?" he asked with a stern face.
This time, no one responded; these people merely covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed quietly.
Hero! I do not know the way back!
Now, I am sitting in the most bustling brothel of this city, next to the madam of the establishment. Upon seeing her, I realized that this service venue is of a higher caliber, as even the madam is more refined than those in other places, not at all resembling the middle-aged women with heavily powdered faces that I had imagined. I felt a bit embarrassed; in comparison, my current attire is more akin to that of a madam.
This time it's over, the white powder was almost used up yesterday, and I haven't had the chance to buy more. I don't know if the layer on my face is thick enough. "Stop!" Chengde shouted from behind.
Are you even a man! Just leaving me here all alone? I shouted.
... ...
The person was passing by me, and upon hearing me curse, slowed down and looked in my direction. Seeing him looking at me, I quickly raised my head, adjusted my posture, and flashed him a sweet smile, truly stylish! At most, he was no more than twenty-five years old, and yes, he was quite tall, with an outstanding appearance and figure! Ninety-nine points! He smiled back at me but did not respond, merely casting a cold glance my way before turning his head to continue on his path. So cool! Add five points, but he was too arrogant and lacked manners, deducting ten points, leaving a final score of ninety-four points.

I am moved, I am moved, haha, I subconsciously touched the small bottle in my arms, could it be that I can use it so soon? I spent a golden melon seed, and only then did the waiter change my guest room to be next to that handsome guy. Sigh, if I keep spending at this rate, I fear I will have to take a part-time job with the beggars' gang in less than a month.
I found it amusing, indeed. It was evident that he was a greedy individual, fearing that his companion would take his money, so he went to settle the bill himself. I chuckled and chose not to pay any further attention.
I pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking in, still unclear about what was happening, when that thin, dark man blocked my way. My God, can he teleport? I had no choice but to turn around helplessly, and Chengde had already approached me. He looked at me curiously for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter.
I apologize, Your Majesty, for temporarily slandering you, but I am not entirely lying either, as the Emperor of Wale is indeed about to turn fifty
Enough, enough! The shopkeeper quickly smiled and turned to instruct the waiter, "Dogzi, why aren't you going? Buy a portion according to what the young lady wants. We won't need the donkey; we have another one in the back courtyard, just right for the young lady."
Seeing him suffer, shouldn't I be very happy? Why do I not feel joyful at all? Why do I feel a pang in my heart when I hear his voice? What is wrong with me? Feng Chen Chuyang has always been one to repay kindness with tenfold gratitude!
I watched his figure disappear along the official road with longing, hurriedly urging the donkey to move on, but as I squeezed my legs, it did not budge. Looking down, I found that this foolish donkey was once again nibbling on the wild grass by the roadside
"What are you being so arrogant about? She is an older sister I met on the road, and she is really nice. Is it necessary for you to act like this?" I said displeased. Chengde looked at me like this and did not say anything else, just sitting there quietly watching me. I immediately lost all my anger; it was better to be honest, after all, I couldn't afford to provoke him. The waiter began to serve the dishes, bringing out plates and bowls, and soon the table was filled.
I glanced at those sprawled on the table and lying on the floor, haha, Chengde, Chengde, you have finally fallen into the hands of the old lady! Call the waiter in, just say they are drunk and take them to the guest room at the back. The waiter took a look, asked no further questions, and called over two assistants to carry them away. Behind the restaurant are the guest rooms. After sending the waiter away, only Chengde and I were left in the room, while Fengshan was thrown into another room by me. I picked up the tea on the table, intending to splash it on Chengde to wake him up, but I was afraid that Sister Hu had exaggerated the effects of her drug; what if he woke up and was incapacitated?

I picked up the tea on the table, intending to splash it on Chengde to wake him up, but I was afraid that Sister Hu had exaggerated the effects of her drug; what if he woke up and was incapacitated? In the end, I tore the bedsheet, tied Chengde's hands and feet securely, sat on him, and then splashed a cup of tea on his face. Chengde woke up, saw the ropes on his body, and me brandishing a dagger, first startled, then calmed down, making me admire his composure.
After I finished speaking, I got out of bed and called for the waiter. Chengde, seeing that I was serious, finally showed some concern and anxiously said, "Don't go too far!" Hmph! He still dares to threaten me! I turned around and grabbed a cloth strip to gag him, then closed the door and went out. It's a pity I don't know any martial arts; otherwise, I could have sealed his mute point just like that handsome guy did to mine, I thought.
This city of Wan is originally the largest city in the north of the Zhou Kingdom, yet it was occupied by the Wale people during the last battle and has not been returned to the Zhou Kingdom until now, so it should now be considered a territory of Wale. As the flow of people entered the city gates, the city remained extraordinarily lively, indicating that the war from a year ago did not cause significant damage to this city
What should I do about this outfit? If I go out like this, will I scare the shopkeeper and the shop assistant?
There is indeed nothing. She had just said a couple of sentences when she suddenly burst into a fit of giggles.
The madam looked closely at Chengde's features, nodded slightly, and turned back with a smile, saying: "You are quite pretty, but a bit fiery. This lady, I run a brothel here, not a male escort service. Have you come to the wrong place?" I replied with a smile: "No, I came here specifically. This is my husband's male lover, who has often angered me. Now that the old man no longer favors him, he has finally fallen into my hands. If you are willing to take him, I will leave him with you; if not, I have some other matters that I need your assistance with." The madam looked at me with a smile, waiting for my next words. I was not in a hurry to speak; I first took out my gold melon seeds from my pocket, counted that there were still a dozen left, and placed them on the table. Without looking at Chengde, I smiled at the madam and said: "I still have a bit of this; could you arrange for some girls for me according to this amount, regardless of their looks? Rest assured, it won't take them long. What do you think?" The madam's eyes sparkled as she looked at the gold on the table. She was not foolish; it was not peak time anyway, and those girls were idle, so the madam immediately smiled broadly and went to find the girls for me. In a short while, a colorful group came in, giggling and laughing. "Girls, stand in line!" I shouted loudly. This shout only made them laugh even more. "Stop laughing, stop laughing." I stood on a chair, adopting the stance of a rally, "Aren't those filthy men usually playing with you?" I shouted.
My head is indeed a bit dizzy, and I still feel somewhat hot. I'm not wearing much at the moment. I can only feel my face burning intensely. Looking at the handsome guy so closely under the moonlight, the more I look, the more handsome he becomes! My hands feel itchy; I really want to touch him, but seeing his serious expression, I wouldn't dare even if I had the courage! "What kind of drug did you take?" he asked, looking at me with some surprise.
Hero! I am a woman! It is very unsafe here!
Just as I stepped out, I happened to see the woman with the surname Hu from last night sitting in the front hall having breakfast. When she saw me come out, she waved at me. I did not dare to offend her, so I had no choice but to go over and sit down. She looked at me twice, then suddenly lowered her head and started to laugh, leaving me puzzled. "What’s wrong, Sister Hu? Is there something on my face?" I asked with a smile.
I ordered dishes with great determination, after all, whether I eat one meal less or more, I do not know how that fellow Chengde will torment me when I return. I do not believe he will accept my earlier explanation. While waiting for the dishes, I did not dare to chat casually with Chengde; that dark, thin man always stood there with a stern face, looking at me coldly, which made me feel uneasy. I could only idly gaze out the window, and to my surprise, fortune smiled upon me! Downstairs on the street, the woman with the surname Hu, whom I encountered at the inn, happened to be walking towards me from the east end of the street.
"Alright," the innkeeper quickly replied, turning to shout inside, "Dogzi! Dogzi! Accompany the young lady to the backyard to lead the donkey!" After shouting for a long time without anyone responding, the innkeeper wondered, "Hey? This kid just passed by here, where has he run off to?" Saying this, he walked out from behind the counter and smiled at me, "I will take the young lady, please follow me." Following the innkeeper around to the backyard, I saw the so-called magnificent and robust "Divine Donkey" in the livestock shed, which supposedly travels one hundred miles by day and eighty by night. I was taken aback! This old donkey! Its fur was almost all gone! And it's called a divine donkey! The key point is that it doesn't even have a tail!
"That night, after I was kidnapped by the men in black, I finally found an opportunity to escape, but I couldn't find you all. I had no choice but to chase after you, and I followed you all the way here. At last, I have caught up with you!" I cried, my nose running and tears streaming down my face.
... ...
I hurriedly turned around with a guilty conscience, hoping that God would bless me and that he had not noticed me. Indeed, God did not accompany me, so naturally, He could not hear my prayers. I had not yet stepped into the establishment, but he had already followed me from behind.
Alas, at critical moments, material rewards are still effective, more so than any form of preaching.
"Hero, let me speak frankly, I have run out of money and was thinking of stealing some valuables from your home. I hope you, as a person of great stature, can overlook my petty actions and let me go. I am feeling dizzy!" I said with a face full of despair.
She noticed that I was silent, and mysteriously leaned closer, whispering: "If you like him, just go over tonight. A little enchanting fragrance will make him comply with your every wish, hehe." After saying this, she gave me a mysterious smile.
"Are you really going to take revenge on me like this?" he said with a low laugh
I pulled out the cloth from Chengde and shouted at the group of women: "Come on, ladies, kiss if you want, touch if you want!" The upper garment of Chengde had already been stripped off, leaving him bare-chested... Although he looked like a young master, his body was quite well-built, with muscles taut all over...
Cough, cough, I cleared my throat twice and pointed at Chengde, who was already leaning against the chair, saying, "You go take a look at how this fellow is doing." Upon hearing this, the madam stood up, walked over to Chengde, and lifted the blanket covering him, only to be taken aback. Chengde's face had turned ashen with anger, his eyes red as he glared at her fiercely, then shifted his gaze to me. That look, if it could be wielded like a knife, I would probably be sliced into lamb slices right now
The woman was taken aback and shook her head
Enough! I shouted loudly, startling the women who stood there frozen. I rushed forward and pushed them aside, and there was Chengde; the moment he saw me, he actually revealed a faint smile.
Upon arriving at the counter, the shopkeeper was still calculating accounts. I tapped on the counter, and the shopkeeper looked up at me. The shopkeeper, being well-mannered, merely paused for a moment upon seeing my face, and then with a beaming smile said: "Miss, is it that your perfume is running low? Please return to your room and wait; I will send someone to purchase some right away"
"Miss, do not be misled by its unremarkable appearance; it is quite docile and will certainly not kick you," the shopkeeper said with a charming smile, leading the donkey over and placing a blue flowered mat on its back. He then seemed to find a stool from somewhere. "Shall I help you up?" It won't kick? It's not that it doesn't want to; it simply can't. Never mind, never mind, in these extraordinary times, one must make do, I told myself, pushing the shopkeeper's hand away and stepping onto the stool to mount the donkey.
I smiled at the shopkeeper and explained, "I accidentally stepped in some filth on the way, so I had to throw away my shoes. I must trouble you, shopkeeper, to have the young lad run an errand and buy me a new pair of boots." As I spoke, I took out a gold coin from my pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper
This time, I took a careful look at the man, and he is indeed handsome! To be fair, in terms of facial features, he is not as refined as those in the "Summer Resort," but on his face, those features exude a kind of unruly charm. Great! The first handsome man that Feng Chen, Chu Yang, encountered after crossing over is him! I secretly made up my mind here, while the woman sitting opposite me looked at me with a suddenly infatuated expression. Following my gaze, she only saw the man's back as he went upstairs. She smirked and whispered, "So, what? Have you fallen for a romantic interest?" Upon hearing this, I came back to my senses, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing.
"Yes!" they replied with laughter, some of them laughed so hard that they could hardly stand up straight
Retribution, oh retribution, the shopkeeper told me that everything had labels. I knew I couldn't read, so I specifically asked, how could I have made a mistake now? "Daughter's Charm", "Illusion | Fantasy | Drug", damn it, they are all three characters! But this thing is so far off! I looked at the handsome face before me, under the moonlight it appeared so well-defined, so stylish! I felt my mouth dry, my limbs weak, and my heart was pounding "thump thump"! I looked at the handsome face before me, under the moonlight it appeared so well-defined, so stylish! I felt my mouth dry, my limbs weak, and my heart was pounding "thump thump"!
Alright, we are even now. I will let you go this time, but you better remember it! I tried hard to make my voice sound fierce as I said this to him, then turned to the madam and said, "Take him to a room called Fengshan at Liufu Building. Don't entertain any other ideas, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Handsome, you look so stylish!" I said foolishly with a smile, "No, that's not what I meant to say! What's wrong?" My body involuntarily leaned against him. It's over, it's over, I can't take it anymore, I should just run away. How do I summon Ding Xiaoxian? ... I think it was something about pointing a finger to my forehead ...! ... Ah! How did my hand end up touching his face!
The madam smiled slightly and said, "Please go ahead."
Looking at myself, barefoot, wearing only a light green shirt that does not belong to me, probably taken from Su'er's bed last night. In the close-fitting pocket, there is a handful of gold melon seeds; apart from these, all that remains is a small dagger tightly gripped in my hand, which I also brought out when I fled last night.
I gathered my thoughts and suddenly threw myself into Chengde's arms, crying out, "I have finally found you all, I have finally found you all!"
The higher the level of service venues, the safer they are, just like in modern times, where even the police do not investigate. For instance, right now, I have hired a carriage from a waiter and found two strong men from outside to cover Chengde with a bed sheet, lifting him onto the carriage without anyone asking a single question. I think I might have been provoked by this Chengde fellow, so I was only focused on how to outsmart him, completely forgetting that I should take this opportunity to escape. Therefore, after inquiring about the most popular brothel in Wancheng, I headed there. I think I might have been provoked by this Chengde fellow, so I was only focused on how to outsmart him, completely forgetting that I should take this opportunity to escape. Therefore, after inquiring about the most popular brothel in Wancheng, I headed there.
I gritted my teeth and slid down, but my heart began to race for some reason, and my hands started to tremble slightly. I looked up at him; his eyes had turned a deep green, staring directly at me. For a moment, I was almost enchanted by those eyes, nearly losing my heart. This reserved yet flirtatious man actually had a physiological reaction! When my hand accidentally brushed against him, I heard him let out a low "mm". I looked up at him again; his eyes were still that deep green, fixed on me. For a moment, I was almost enchanted by those eyes, nearly losing my heart. This reserved yet flirtatious man actually had a physiological reaction! When my hand accidentally brushed against him, I heard him let out a low "mm". "Hehe, I won't be fooled, dear! I won't take your clothes off! Aren't you the reserved type? I'll take you to a good place and let you be reserved to your heart's content!" I said with a smile
I smiled proudly at the mirror, only to see a layer of white powder settled on the table. I could no longer laugh, nor could I touch it with my hands, otherwise it would be like a yellow earth slope, full of ravines and gullies! I tucked a few small bottles of medicine sent by the shopkeeper into my bosom: spring medicine, laxatives, and hallucinogens; every kind of medicine is essential, a must-have for wandering the martial world and seeking revenge on Brother Pao. Haha, the martial world! Handsome guys! Here I come, my dear! As I walked into the front hall, I happened to see the waiter coming towards me with a teapot. I smiled at him and winked, but the waiter walked past me with a blank expression, completely unresponsive. How strange, why was there no reaction at all? Whether it was good-looking or not, there should be some response, even a shout of 'ghost!' would suffice. I turned my head in confusion, only to see the waiter suddenly shiver, his back shaking violently, causing quite a bit of water to splash out of the teapot.
I had no choice but to sneak out of the house by myself, yet along the way, I could not avoid being bullied. Just now, seeing my sister's remarkable skills, I was truly in awe; sister, please take me as your apprentice. The woman listened to me and looked at me for a while, then shook her head and said: "Girl, although your acting skills are quite good, you still lack the finesse to deceive me, your sister. I will not accept you as my apprentice!" I stared at her in astonishment, feeling that my performance was in vain! I was somewhat annoyed, but I dared not show it on my face, fearing that this woman might poison me at any moment. Since she would not accept me, it would be better for me to avoid her.
I understand, I understand. I waved my hand impatiently and sat sideways. Forget it, there are no armrests, what if I lean back? The shopkeeper saw my impatience and quickly dared not say anything more, leading the donkey to take me outside. "Please take care!" he waved.
When the sky was just beginning to brighten, I crawled out from the small river. As the first rays of colorful dawn appeared in the eastern sky, I reached the inn where I had stayed last night
"Hehe, Third Prince, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands as well, did you?" I said with a sneer, stepping forward to slap him several times on the face. His fair complexion instantly turned red and swollen. I then brandished a dagger in front of his face, saying, "Such a beautiful face, it wouldn't look good with a few scratches, would it?" He merely smiled and replied, "It's not like I'm a woman, why should I care about looking good?" Damn! Playing this game with me? I yanked the golden crown off his head, and his hair fell loose. I waved the dagger above his head, murmuring, "What if you were shaved bald?" Chengde remained expressionless. I continued to wave the dagger in front of his face, repeating, "Such a beautiful face, it wouldn't look good with a few scratches, would it?" Again, he smiled and said, "It's not like I'm a woman, why should I care about looking good?" Damn! Playing this game with me? I yanked the golden crown off his head again, and his hair fell loose. I waved the dagger above his head, murmuring, "What if you were shaved bald?" Chengde still showed no change in expression. Was I unable to intimidate him? Looking at his handsome face, I suddenly had some wicked thoughts. He had taken advantage of me quite a bit in the past few days, and now that he had fallen into my hands, I had to get my revenge.
Unfortunately, I am really not in the mood to appreciate handsome men right now. Shouldn't he be in the wedding procession? Why is he out here on the street all alone? In a moment of distraction, he happened to look in my direction, and when he saw me, he was taken aback. Instinctively, I nodded and smiled at him in a flattering manner. As soon as I completed that action, I wished I could slap myself! In my current outfit, he wouldn't recognize me, so why was I grinning at him like an idiot? Am I afraid of him because he used to bully me?
As the waiter had just brought the dishes to the table, a commotion erupted at the entrance. Four or five burly men entered, each wearing a fierce expression. Upon entering, they called for the waiter to bring wine and food. The leader of the group scanned the room; aside from my table and the table by the window where a woman sat alone, the other tables were occupied by numerous patrons. The man glanced at me with a look of disdain, then turned his attention to the woman in the blue attire, smiling as he led his companions over. "How about we brothers share a table with you, dear lady?" the man leered, plopping down right next to her, while the rest of his companions chuckled and took their seats.
I was just looking for someone to vent my frustrations when a young nobleman walked over from the street. He was tall and dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with a golden crown holding back his hair, making him quite eye-catching among the crowd. I silently praised him in my heart, thinking he was quite a figure! But when I clearly saw his face, my legs started to tremble, and I wished I could find a hole in the ground to hide in. Indeed, the young man who had come was none other than the one from the "Summer Resort" in Chengde. Behind him followed a thin, dark-skinned man, which made his rosy lips and white teeth stand out even more, resembling a peach blossom!
After educating the donkey a few times and applying some force, the results were not very satisfactory. This reminded me of a little story, so I took out a large white steamed bun that I had originally prepared for myself, and then I broke off a willow branch by the roadside, skewered the bun on it, and hung it in front of the foolish donkey. Sure enough! The donkey was truly attracted by the sweet-smelling bun and obediently trotted forward!
"Here, take this. I promise I won't dare to do it again next time. Please let me go back to sleep, I beg you, I have eaten quite a bit." I quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from my pocket and handed it to him. He opened it, sniffed it, frowned, and said, "What kind of drug is this!" I was taken aback; it wasn't a drug? Had the shopkeeper deceived me, or had I taken the wrong one? Could it be that I had mistakenly taken a laxative? I hurriedly took out the other two bottles from my pocket to check. Had the shopkeeper deceived me, or had I taken the wrong one? Could it be that I had mistakenly taken a laxative? I hurriedly took out the other two bottles from my pocket to check.
The woman slightly frowned but did not speak. I found it hard to bear; isn't the essence of wandering the world about the word "righteousness"? "Over there, the big..." I was about to call out to the aunt, but suddenly remembered my attire and changed my words, saying, "Miss, come sit here." Upon hearing this, the woman looked up at me, smiled, and then turned to those rascals, saying, "Brothers, please take a seat. I will go sit over there. Everyone enjoy your meal and drinks!" As she spoke, she diligently swept the table with her sleeve and then stood up to sit beside me. I was somewhat surprised by her reaction; I thought someone so extraordinary in appearance would have a bit of personality, but it turned out she was just like me, someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. I smiled at her and continued eating my meal. The handsome guy from the road seemed to have disappeared; it was all that stupid donkey's fault. Tomorrow, I will sell it and exchange it for a horse! But isn't it a bit strange for a matchmaker to ride a tall horse? The handsome guy from the road seemed to have disappeared; it was all that stupid donkey's fault. Tomorrow, I will sell it and exchange it for a horse! But isn't it a bit strange for a matchmaker to ride a tall horse? "Little girl, what did you just call me?" The woman in green poured herself a cup of tea and asked softly. I looked around, wondering if she was talking to me. Did she just call me a little girl? Is my outfit really that shabby that others can tell at a glance? Seeing my astonished expression, the woman smiled and said, "Disguise is not just about the face." Upon hearing this, I perked up. Could it be that I encountered a master? I grinned at her and said, "I would like to hear my sister's guidance."
Dizzy! I do want to go fast! But can this donkey go any faster? At this speed, I estimate that if we follow the "Summer Resort" to the capital, it will be next spring before we arrive.
The town was evidently much livelier than when I arrived yesterday, indicating that the local residents are living quite well. Together with the donkey I was riding, we became the center of attention in this town, as we walked along, there was no one who didn't turn to look back. "Look back! Look back!" I scolded, thinking to myself that fortunately, my face was so well powdered that you couldn't tell I was blushing.
I felt embarrassed to nod, I was awake, truly awake, the heat on my body subsided, and I could feel the bone-chilling cold of the river water. He stopped speaking, turned around, and walked towards the shore.
After enduring such inhumane treatment, I surprisingly did not catch a cold, which shows how resilient my vitality is! I sat on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, pondering that the guest room next door had long been vacated. I wondered when that cool guy had left. Well, it turned out that I not only failed to steal a chicken but also lost a few bottles of medicine. I climbed down from the bed, deciding to set aside thoughts of that cool guy for now. Chengde is still looking for me, and I cannot stay here any longer. Moreover, my foolish donkey walks so slowly; I don't know if it can catch up with the wedding procession ahead. My intuition tells me that the closer I am to that procession, the safer I will be! I put on that woman's clothing and got dressed up, but when I went to apply the white powder, I found there wasn't much left. Alas, I still have to spend money to buy more. In this day and age, money is needed everywhere.
Finally, I have walked out of the town. Outside, the grass is lush and green, presenting a scene of vibrant spring. I feel a sense of relief in my chest, and closing my eyes, I inhale the fragrance of the wild grass carried by the gentle breeze. How wonderful it is to be in ancient times, free from pollution, truly delightful! Just as I am lost in this reverie, I realize that the donkey beneath me has come to a halt. Opening my eyes, I nearly burst with rage! This foolish donkey is actually nibbling on the wild grass by the roadside! Eating, eating, all it knows is to eat! That scoundrel of a shopkeeper has truly wronged me. This donkey, after a couple of hits, takes three steps, bows its head every four steps, and stops to graze every five steps. A hundred miles a day? If I could manage ten miles a day, I would be grateful to Amitabha.
The woman looked at me without speaking and smiled, saying: "Although I cannot take you as my disciple, your temperament is quite to my liking. After all, I am lonely on the road by myself, so you may accompany me on my journey." Accompanying you on the road? My God! Isn't that like carrying poison around all day? Who knows when you might get angry with me and then supplement me with some trace elements? Can I endure that? Although I thought this way, I smiled and said: "That sounds great, having an elder sister to accompany me makes me feel much more at ease." The old lady will run off early tomorrow morning; if you want to go north, I will say I want to go south. If you say south, I will say I want to go north. In any case, I will not go your way. You can find whoever you want, but I am quite interested in the poison on you; I wonder if I can trick some of it over. At this moment, those few howling men over there have already been sent to find a doctor, and the inn immediately fell silent. I was just thinking about how to take advantage of this woman before leaving when a familiar figure entered the inn. Upon seeing him, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy; it was indeed the man from the road during the day, just as if I had searched high and low for something and found it effortlessly! However, he had clearly been ahead of me, so why was he now later than I was?
"Girl, the people you have provoked are not ordinary; they must be the nobles of Waller, right?" Sister Hu said, frowning slightly. Not just the nobles of Waller, but the nobility among the nobility! I thought to myself
"Hmm. Can we have a proper meal first?" I said shyly. At this point, I could only take it one step at a time, hoping that with so many people in the restaurant, I might find an opportunity to slip away. Unfortunately, the knockout drug had already been given to that cool guy; otherwise, I could have made some plans regarding that. Chengde smiled mockingly and walked straight into the restaurant. I glanced at the cold, thin man who was staring at me and hurriedly followed Chengde inside. It was mealtime, and the restaurant was bustling with customers. The private rooms were all taken, but money still talks. Chengde tossed a silver coin, and immediately a window-side private room became available.
What is there to be afraid of? To think is to think!
"Handsome, your skin is really nice." I had already wrapped myself around him, holding his face in my hands, growing fonder the more I looked, unable to resist the urge to lean in for a kiss. I closed my eyes, stood on my tiptoes to get closer, but unexpectedly ended up kissing nothing but air. Just as I was about to open my eyes to see, I felt my feet leave the ground; he had lifted me up and tossed me over his shoulder like a sack. I immediately found myself hanging head down on his shoulder, my head feeling like it had exploded, doubling in size. Well, this time, there was no internal struggle left.

I immediately found myself hanging head down on his shoulder, my head feeling like it had exploded, doubling in size. Well, this time, there was no internal struggle left.
This restaurant is quite grand, even the waiter has a rough demeanor. The young man at the entrance, responsible for "valet parking," reluctantly took the reins from my hand when he saw my nearly bald donkey and led it to the backyard. Seeing his attitude, I became furious. "Be careful with my donkey, even though it looks shabby, it is precious. If it loses even a single hair, I will not let this go!" I scolded with my hands on my hips.
Due to constantly being on the move, I, the old lady, have hardly had a proper meal since I started my journey. Now that I have finally arrived in a big city, I must try the ancient delicacies. After weighing my bundle and feeling the remaining golden melon seeds in my pocket, I gritted my teeth and headed towards a restaurant with extremely luxurious decor. In modern terms, this would surely be rated five stars or above
