At the beginning, I saved a little mute

In full view of everyone, Jiang had already brought out two pots of chicken stewed with mushrooms and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

I originally wanted to make a volcano with falling snow.

Unfortunately, there were too few tomatoes, and sugar was extremely precious in that era, so the shopkeeper refused to give him a large spoonful no matter what.

So Jiang Zao could only make these two simple dishes.

You know, in his previous life, Jiang Zao cooked for himself every day in order to save money, and he also brought his own lunch box at noon.

His cooking skills are not to say superb, but they are also very impressive.

The way Que Yunsheng looked at her became strange.

Young Master Yuan flared his nostrils, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Before the dish is even placed firmly, the chopsticks have already been extended.

Sure enough, he was very satisfied.

Jiang Zao got a piece of silver and a string of coins.

Chef Wang looked at her, hesitant to speak.

But Jiang Zao quickly pulled Que Yunsheng away.

They urgently need to sign the contract.

Unexpectedly, the contract was not signed in the end.

The reason was that the young master of the escort agency refused to let them sign no matter what and insisted that they compensate their little ants.

When she saw them, she cried uncontrollably.

The young master is the treasure of the entire escort agency, which can be seen from his name.

The sturdy man sent them away with embarrassment. It was only a thousand coins after all. Why make the young master unhappy for such a small amount of money?

I have money but nowhere to spend it.

Jiang Zao was a little depressed.

But she quickly cheered up.

I bought some rice and flour and went to the west end of the town to find Uncle Li.

After expressing his gratitude, he intentionally or unintentionally talked about his current predicament.

Uncle Li stroked his beard and provided them with a method.

Buy a car and ride there.

Of course a unicycle is not an option.

The best is a mule cart with blue and white mules.

However, the two of them did not have much money, and what they managed to scrape together was only enough to buy a mule.

no car.

Seeing that they were worried, Uncle Li simply gave them an abandoned flatbed truck from his own home, which could only be pushed by manpower and was a bit broken.

But after some repairs, the mule can still be harnessed and moved around.

But this is obviously not as convenient as a carriage with shelter on all sides.

It can only give people a break.

This also made Jiang Zao and the others very grateful.

Jiang Zao gave the wheelbarrow to Uncle Li in exchange, and also gave Uncle Li one hundred coins out of the remaining three hundred coins for the purchase of the wheelbarrow as fare.

Then he bought a mule, harnessed it to the cart and headed for Ning County.

With a mule pulling the cart, the two men felt a lot more relaxed.

The remaining money was used to buy some food in town.

As for clothes, the two of them pawned their own clothes.

Because she was missing her outer shirt, she didn't get much money.

It’s just that Jiang Zao was afraid that someone would recognize him, so he insisted on becoming the emperor, and Que Yunsheng also thought so.

When changing clothes, Jiang Zao insisted on hiding to change. Que Yunsheng was puzzled and just stared at her with his clear black and white eyes.

Jiang Zao felt guilty and stammered, "I used to change clothes by myself at home."

She couldn't be with Que Yunsheng, otherwise the secret would be exposed.

We must be more careful in the future.

The scenery along the way is not really beautiful.

It's nothing more than mountains and water on both sides.

Now they had a mule cart, and they could travel much faster than before.

The two of them could take turns keeping watch at night, and after two days, they looked better than before.

On this day, during the lunch break, Jiang Zao went to the river to fish as usual.

They walked along the road by the river, having water and food, and feeling very comfortable.

It seemed as if the dangers of the past few days were just a dream.

It was still grilled fish. Jiang Zao felt stomachache before going to bed that night.

She thought she had eaten too many unclean things, but Que Yunsheng was obviously the same as her, and nothing happened to him.

She held her stomach and ran into the bushes.

Que Yunsheng was left looking at her in confusion.

The fire was not very bright, so Que Yunsheng put some firewood in.

At this time, they found a few bloodstains where Jiang Zao had sat.

He immediately became alert.

Jiang Zao was injured?

When he thought of this possibility, Que Yunsheng immediately ran in Jiang Zao's direction.

I was so anxious that I felt like something was about to burst through my throat.

Finally, he saw Jiang Zao with his back to him in the bushes not far away.

Jiang Zao looked pale.

She never expected that she would get her period at this time.

How can I get sanitary napkins in this remote place where there is no village or store nearby?

No, it's not possible.

Think about how girls in ancient times got through their menstrual periods?

Jiang Zao's face turned even paler.

So much so that he didn't even notice Que Yunsheng coming behind him.

She said to herself, "What should I do? Should I tell Que Yunsheng that I am a girl?"

These words, carried gently into Que Yunsheng's ears along with the evening breeze.

what?

Que Yunsheng stopped and turned his body, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"But if I don't tell him, how can I hide the fact that I'm a girl?"

Que Yunsheng was really shocked and blurted out, "You are a girl?"

His voice was particularly hoarse from not speaking for a long time.

But in the silent wilderness, it was loud enough for Jiang Zao to hear it.

She turned around like a frightened little rabbit, fear in her eyes, "Who is it?"

When I turned around, I saw Que Yunsheng.

"Qie Yunsheng?"

Her voice rose a few notches, "Is that you talking?"

Isn’t Que Yunsheng a little mute?

How can you speak?

Little did she know that Que Yunsheng did not answer her question at all. Instead, he stared at her with a strange expression and asked again, "Are you a girl?"

Jiang Zao nodded subconsciously for some reason.

Que Yunsheng's heart sank.

This is real.

He had previously wanted to be good brothers with Jiang Zao for life.

Now, good brother is flying.

Become a delicate little girl.

In fact, he should have noticed it earlier. How could there be such a thin and skinny little brother?

Which brother would change clothes behind others' backs for fear of being seen?

All this is just because Jiang Zao is not him but her.

Once this realization came to his mind, Que Yunsheng didn't know what attitude he should use to face Jiang Zao.

Even if she lied to him, she was just a poor little girl. Even if she lied to him, she saved him.

Que Yunsheng was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.

Looking at Jiang Zao who was dressed neatly in front of him, he remembered that Jiang Zao's coat was gone when he was at the bottom of the cliff.

His face turned red for no apparent reason.

"Go over there first, it's windy here." His voice was still hoarse, and it would probably take some time to fully recover.

Jiang Zao's head was buzzing even more.

Que Yunsheng is not a little mute.

So why did he keep pretending he couldn't speak?

With a dazed mind, he followed Que Yunsheng to the fire.

The mule opened his eyes, saw that it was them, and continued to sleep quietly.

"You can speak? You're not dumb?"

Jiang spoke earlier.

Que Yunsheng added some more firewood to the firewood pile.

Looking directly into Jiang Zao's eyes, he said calmly, "I think we need to get to know each other again."
