Chapter 12

After saying that, before Ye Yi could react, he strode out without hesitation.

Leaving Ye Yi behind him, he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he suddenly realized. Yes, if he couldn't find it in the town, that meant he had left!

"Oh, my brain!"

While blaming himself, he hurriedly chased after his master.

.........

After two days of bumpy journey, Luo Shuiyao felt as if all the bones in her body were about to break into pieces and she was about to fall apart.

Du Juan carefully helped her down from the carriage. Her legs were shaking, and every step was extremely difficult. She looked around exhausted, but saw that everyone else looked normal, not at all affected by the bumpy ride.

She wondered to herself: How could these people not feel dizzy at all? She couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for them.

Manager Zhang found an inn. Everyone washed up and settled down in the inn, preparing to recuperate and continue their journey tomorrow.

Luo Shuiyao lay comfortably on the small bed. Despite its limited size, the bedding was incredibly soft, emitting a light, fresh fragrance that was refreshing after washing.

She lay in bed, feeling her vision constantly swaying, as if she were still in that bumpy carriage. Thinking of the several days of journey ahead, Luo Yao couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

No wonder the ancients often said, "The carriage is slow." Oh my God! If this carriage were faster, it would probably shake people half to death. She was lost in thought, and before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, its golden rays breaking through the clouds. The earth awakened, its new face revealed, and everywhere was filled with vitality reflecting the morning light.

After Luo Shuiyao finished her breakfast and washed up, she decided to go out for a while. However, this time she was not going out to carefully plan some way to make money, but because she found that her period had come last night.

This morning she mentioned this to Dujuan, and Dujuan suggested that they go out together to buy some cotton cloth so that they could sew some sanitary belts by themselves.

Luo Shuiyao also agreed with this in her heart, and thought to herself that if she went out together, she could also buy some cotton or other things she needed to fill the pot when making it.

She asked Du Juan what she usually used, and Du Juan told her that the menstrual belt she used was filled with plant ash. Although she knew that plant ash has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, she still found it difficult to accept and could only think about changing to some other more suitable filling material.

The bustling streets were filled with the sounds of hawkers. Luo Shuiyao had asked the inn's waiter where the cloth shop was before leaving. As a result, the journey didn't take long.

She stepped into the cloth shop and looked around curiously at the various cloths. She found a wide variety of colors and a dazzling array of items. The shopkeeper was a beautiful woman. When she saw someone coming in, she hurried forward with a friendly smile on her face and said, "What patterns of cloth would you two like?"

Du Juan slowly raised her head and coughed twice deliberately. Then, she raised her chin high, looked at the proprietress, and said pretentiously, "Bring out a piece of the softest cotton cloth in your house."

.........

Seeing her being so lively, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the proprietress couldn't help laughing as well when she looked at her.

Du Juan turned her head and looked at Luo Shuiyao twice, her eyes revealing grievance. Luo Shuiyao quickly smiled at her soothingly.

She knew Du Juan was just trying to protect her, afraid that others would bully them because they were women, so she had to act mature when talking to others, but she didn't realize how cute she looked that way.

The shopkeeper looked at them and smiled. She said to Luo Shuiyao with a gentle look, "Wait a moment, young lady. I'll get the cloth for you right away."

Then he hurried into the inner room and in just a moment, he brought out a piece of fine cotton cloth.

Dujuan walked forward and touched the cotton cloth. She felt it was soft and smooth, and thought that this cotton cloth was more suitable for making a menstrual belt.

She turned to look at Luo Shuiyao, and Luo Shuiyao also walked forward and touched it. It was soft and smooth. With a light touch, she could feel its delicacy and gentleness.

Seeing Du Juan looking at her eagerly, she laughed and said, "This piece of cloth is really good. Let's take this one."

The proprietress watched their actions and asked curiously, "Girls, what are you planning to do?"

Du Juan smiled and replied, "My young lady wants to use this to make some underwear, but she doesn't need so much. Can you cut only three feet?"

The lady boss said readily, "Sure, but you have to go inside to cut the cloth."

Dujuan said, "Then I'll go with you."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Luo Shuiyao who was looking around: "Then Miss, please wait here for me, I will be out soon."

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly at her. After Du Juan followed the proprietress into the inner room, Luo Shuiyao strolled around casually for a while.

She saw a piece of moon-white cloth with silver patterns printed on it and was instantly attracted to it. She thought the color was particularly beautiful, a bit like the legendary white moonlight. She walked forward a few steps and prepared to reach out and touch it.

Just as her hand was about to touch the cloth, unexpectedly, a slender hand suddenly stretched out and hit her hand hard with a "snap".

Luo Shuiyao was startled. She looked up suddenly and found a beautiful woman standing next to her. She had just noticed that the woman was looking around and was probably a customer who came to buy cloth.

Without waiting for her to answer, the woman said arrogantly, "This piece of Shu brocade is one of the most expensive pieces of cloth in this shop. Are you worthy enough to touch it?"

Luo Shuiyao retracted her reddened hand. Hearing her words, she couldn't help but feel furious. "Since I'm in this store, I'm a customer. It's up to me to decide whether I'm worthy or not. If I can't buy, can I still touch it?"

The woman's expression was filled with disdain. She curled her lips and said in great dissatisfaction, "If everyone were to touch such luxurious material, wouldn't it be ruined quickly? Besides, how can someone like you be worthy of wearing clothes made of such material?"

She raised her chin slightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes, "I want this cloth, you can go look for other cloths."

Luo Shuiyao was so angry when she heard her being so arrogant and unreasonable, "What if I want this one?"

The woman's expression became increasingly disdainful, and with a smile on her lips, she said contemptuously, "This piece of cloth is the best of the best, worth 200 taels."

Luo Shuiyao's expression suddenly froze, her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "How much? How much did you say?"

The woman's face was full of sarcasm, and with a raised corner of her mouth, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Two hundred taels! Didn't you always say you wanted to buy it? Buy it now!"

All of Luo Shuiyao's temper and vigor just now quickly faded away like the tide.

Forget it, forget it, suffering a loss is a blessing. She suppressed her anger and comforted herself in her heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry…

"200 taels, we bought it."

A deep male voice suddenly rang out. Following the sound, Luo Shuiyao subconsciously looked over, only to see the man standing against the light, his facial expression hidden in the light and shadow, making it difficult to see clearly. For a moment, Luo Shuiyao was stunned.

Seeing the newcomer, the beautiful woman said in surprise: "Brother Zhou...
