Chapter 2074: Infected with a Cold
Thinking of all the things that had happened in Yunfeng County, Wan Shufang rubbed her brows with her hand. She felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and sat in the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.
Outside, the biting cold wind was howling, and soon it began to rain heavily.
After two days of traveling, it was rainy and the weather was bad. Chen Changli accidentally caught a cold and had a burning fever.
Feeling his feverish body, Wan Shufang was a little anxious: "Changli, how are you? I'll get you some antipyretic medicine now."
Hearing this, Chen Changli didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. Wan Shufang stretched out her hand, and soon a pill appeared in her palm. She fed the pill to Chen Changli.
"You are ill. It seems that we can't keep traveling. You are old and can't do as well as you did when you were young. We need to find a quiet place to recuperate."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, madam." Chen Changli leaned in her arms. As a patient, he played the role of a delicate husband.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang just hugged him tightly and ordered outside the carriage: "An Yi, go to Shu."
"Yes, ma'am."
An Yi responded, and the carriage turned around and headed towards Shu.
If she remembered correctly, Shu was a very suitable place for recuperation. In the next few days, Chen Changli had not recovered from the cold, so Wan Shufang took good care of him.
The carriage stopped and started all the way, moving very slowly, and it took three days to reach Shu.
At this time, Chen Changli's fever had subsided, but his face was still a little pale. When he saw the carriage stop, he lifted the curtain and said, "Shufang, where is this?"
He had been drowsy these past few days and didn't know where the carriage was going. At this moment, An Yi's voice came in: "Madam, the Shu land is ahead."
"Okay, let's go into the city." Wan Shufang responded, and then interlocked her fingers with Chen Changli: "I think Shu is suitable for health preservation, so I asked An Yi to drive here. We can't go any further ahead, so we have to get off the car and walk."
As she spoke, she pulled Chen Changli out of the car. At this moment, what came into view were many cliffs, which were the unique geographical features of Shu.
The group set out onto the cliff road and accidentally encountered a group of monkeys besieging passers-by. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang quickly took action and drove away the monkeys.
"Thank you both for your help, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to deal with that monkey."
"You two are kind-hearted and have great martial arts skills. This is a steep cliff. If it were us, we would never dare to fight with the monkey."
Hearing the praise from passers-by, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang remained calm and not arrogant. They just nodded slightly and said calmly: "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."
"Madam, you are too modest. I see you two are unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang rolled her eyes and looked at the cliffs around her. She thought it would be difficult to find a way out, so she immediately thought about exploring the way and started asking.
"This is my first time here. I want to go to Shu. Do you know the way?"
"Of course I know Shu. You are so lucky. You took the right mountain road. Just keep walking along here and you will reach your destination." The passerby pointed down the mountain road. From here, the scenery below could not be seen clearly.
But Wan Shufang was still very happy, glad that she had taken the right road. After thanking the passers-by, she left with Chen Changli. Soon, the group went down the mountain and arrived in Shu.
What you see is a bustling street. When you see a stranger, the people come up to you, show hospitality and ask questions.
"You two are from other places, right? Welcome to Shu. We are all born and raised in Shu. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"The inn is just ahead. You two can go put your things there first."
“There is also a night market in the evening, and you can also go out shopping and have fun.”
The people of Shu talked one after another, introducing the characteristics of their hometown. Looking at the enthusiastic people, Wan Shufang seemed to be infected by them and happily agreed to all their requests.
The two found an inn recommended by the locals and stayed there temporarily. By the time they had packed up their things, it was already night.
Looking down from the second floor of the inn, the streets were brightly lit. Not far away, there seemed to be lively cheers coming from the distance, which made Wan Shufang feel itchy.
"Changli, the old man said today that there will be performances and a night market tonight. Let's go and have a look?" She took Chen Changli's hand and looked at him eagerly: "How are you?"
Meeting her gaze, Chen Changli smiled helplessly, flicked her forehead with his fingers, and said lovingly: "It's okay, I'm already healed, and I can still walk around the streets."
"Great, let's go."
Wan Shufang acted as soon as she said it and dragged Chen Changli out of the inn. The two of them were strolling on the street, and in the middle of the street, they saw an animal acrobatics performance.
After standing around and watching with the crowd for a long time, Wan Shufang stepped back and walked to a stall to watch them display the lifelike double-sided embroidery. Her eyes widened involuntarily.
"Changli, this is amazing. I have only heard of double-sided embroidery before, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
"Dear guests, please feel free to look around." The stall owner warmly entertained the two and handed a finished embroidery to Wan Shufang.
Wan Shufang took the embroidery and was amazed at this unique craft. Seeing that she liked it, Chen Changli looked at the things on the stall and finally chose an exquisite handkerchief and took out an ingot of silver and put it down.
"How much is this handkerchief?"
"Okay, sir, fifty cents. Please wait a moment and I will give you the change."
When Wan Shufang heard that the handkerchief was only fifty cents, she was shocked again. After all, in her impression, double-sided embroidery was very expensive. This time she really found a treasure.
While waiting for the vendor to give him change, Chen Changli also picked up the handkerchief and gave it to Wan Shufang: "I think you will like this pattern."
Looking at the handkerchief in her hand, Wan Shufang nodded vigorously and praised generously: "I like it. You really understand me the best. This handkerchief is embroidered very well."
Hearing Wan Shufang praising the handkerchief, the stall owner immediately showed a proud expression and boasted: "You two don't know, this craftsmanship was embroidered by Su Yuehua, the best embroiderer here, so it is naturally excellent."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person next to him ask in confusion: "Su Yuehua? Didn't she disappear?"
"It seems like it's been three days. The government posted a notice two days ago and we all went to see it."
"It seems that I will never see such good embroidery again."
Several people shook their heads regretfully, said no more, and returned to their work. When they heard that Su Yuehua had been missing for three days, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang didn't know her well, so they didn't take it to heart.
The two men left with their handkerchiefs and wandered around for a long time until the night market was about to close. They were about to return to the inn, but as soon as they turned around, they heard a strange noise. They looked closely and found that someone was burning paper money at the intersection.
