Capítulo 841: Chapter 350: Zhou Family Paperman (Part 3)
Hu Yunyi’s old face turned a bit red, and he whispered, “It’s… the cloth used by won during their nstrual period.”
Oh?
The Jing Country version of Seventh Space… Zhou Xuan felt lines of bewildernt on his forehead, reminding himself next ti he encounters a strange term, not to ask so loudly.
Soon, he reacted again, pointing at the red rope on San Wa’s head, and asked, “Then this rope…”
“Oh, it’s also made of riding cloth.”
“It’s over… I feel like my hand is dirty now.” Zhou Xuan thought about how he used the red rope to tie San Wa’s hair, and unreasonably felt his “hand” was a bit repulsive, involuntarily moving his “right hand” further away.
“Mister, do you have any riding cloth?” Hu Yunyi chose to bring up the troubleso topic.
“I’m a grown man, what would I need riding cloth for?”
“If you don’t have any, San Wa might need to run. You take this.” Hu Yunyi said while trying to untie a swaddle.
Zhou Xuan waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “There’s no need… San Wa wouldn’t run from my grasp, you Fox Clan have matters, just go on.”
“Then we Shan Shui…” Hu Yunyi began with farewell pleasantries,
As soon as he started, the three children began to shout.
“Whoa!”
“Ha!”
“Hey!”
The three children each shouted once.
“Da Wa, Er Wa, we part here, Shan Shui we shall et again.”
“Qingshan remains unchanged.”
“Green water flows long.”
The three children, like adventurers, simultaneously clasped their fists, nodded to each other, then released their hands, extending their right arms, “Da Wa, Er Wa, please.”
“San Wa, please.”
Bamboo grove crowd: “…”
You’re just deciding as herbs, why so theatrical?
Hu Yunyi was at a loss for words due to the Red Ginseng Child’s interruption, awkwardly smiled with Zhou Xuan, then led Er Wa and San Wa to leave first.
Before departure, they checked the swaddles, discovered the innermost part of two swaddles had riding cloth, sohow chewed by a mouse into a hole, with two mouse droppings inside.
“Gray Fairy, you nearly destroyed the gift for Mister.”
The hole chewed open by the mouse allowed the three Red Ginseng Children to release the red line, nearly escaping.
This breached hole needed repair, otherwise Da Wa and Er Wa might develop the urge to escape along the way, and this ti without Zhou Xuan’s help to capture them.
Helplessly, Hu Yunyi had to find soone to borrow riding cloth.
However, the followers summoned by King Xishan were mostly n, who had none of that stuff, fortunately, Hui Feng dical College had plenty of people.
Thus, a series of bizarre scenes ensued, an odd old man with white specks in his eyes tilted his head asking won,
“Big sister, got riding cloth?”
“Are you mad?”
…
“Miss, got riding cloth?”
“…”
Young lady.
Young lady: “Why are you asking?”
“Can you spare a piece?”
“Are you mad?”
…
“Young sister, got riding cloth?”
“Got it.”
“Share a piece, I’ll pay for it.”
“Here.” A straightforward girl pulled out a piece of riding cloth waiting to be washed from her bundle.
Hu Yunyi brought his eyes closer, carefully looked at the riding cloth with dried bloodstains, shook his head, and said, “Not enough, the amount’s too little.”
“You’re an old pervert, and you’re picky!”
…
Persistently buying and failing, repeatedly failing and buying, the dignified Clan Leader of East Mountain Fox Clan after receiving over a hundred scornful glances, finally bought an “ample” piece of riding cloth, patched the holes of the two swaddles, and then took the two ginseng children to Ping Shui Prefecture.
…
Afternoon, Ping Shui Prefecture, governnt hall.
Chen Mo, the chief clerk of Prefecture Governnt Office, had a face full of worry, watching the accountant within reach on the abacus.
The abacus beads were flipping up and down, Chen Mo’s eyeballs remained still, seemingly pondering sothing, his thoughts had already flown far away.
“Chen Mo, my young nephew, you’re quite bold.”
A shout erupted from behind Chen Mo, he quickly turned around to see the person was Ping Shui Prefecture’s Night Patrol Deity, Lord Jiu.
Lord Jiu slamd his wine pot heavily on the wooden table, questioning, “Who allowed you to stop purchasing supplies?”
“Lord Jiu, it wasn’t a halt on purchases, truly there’s no money on the governnt’s hands.”
Chen Mo said, “Just how much money does Ping Shui Prefecture have, this rice wagon after wagon, once we ship a few more days, let alone whether people in Mingjiang Prefecture starve, we in Ping Shui Prefecture would run out of food first.”
“Not a damn shortage, keep buying, here’s the list.”
Lord Jiu slapped a list on the table.
Chen Mo picked it up to glance, imdiately laughed out loud—when people are utterly bewildered, they indeed laugh aloud.
“Oh dear, those Mingjiang Prefecture people sure have guts to ask for rice, flour, dicines that’s fine, cloths, tents, blankets that’s also fine, cold-resistant supplies,
but things like alcohol, all sorts of seasonings, spices, sodas, cakes, oh my there’s even chocolate, this is excessive, dodging a disaster or attending a drink party?”
Chen Mo slapped the list on the table: “Mingjiang Prefecture acts like it’s still that flourished Ye Ming River, a bunch of pampered brats.”
“Just buy as you’re told, why are you babbling?”
“I won’t buy, Lord Jiu, if you insist forcefully on buying, don’t make do it, send to Mingjiang Prefecture—I too want a pampered lifestyle, lying doing nothing, waiting for Ping Shui Prefecture to deliver alcohol, food, and snacks, how comfortable.”
Chen Mo remarked with Yin Yang Strange Qi.
“Don’t be resentful.”
Lord Jiu pulled out another rolled-up docunt from his sleeve, letting Chen Mo continue reading.
Chen Mo opened it, and felt utterly confused, “Cordyceps, one hundred seventy pounds; eighty-year Lingzhi, two hundred pounds; hundred-year Ginseng, two hundred seventy-two pounds; golden bird’s nest, three hundred pounds…”
