Female-dominated society: I want the world, and I also want all the most handsome men!

Yan Nanfei got up early and had already returned from Hua Tuo's house.

Prepare breakfast and boil water for washing up.

Yan Nanfei has said more than once that it's summer now, so it's fine to wash with cold water.

But Feng Shan told Yan Nanfei that he would take good care of her health and prevent her from catching a cold.

Yan Nanfei listened to him and let him go.

But when Lin Feng came to pick up breakfast, Yan Nanfei asked him, "How did Feng Shan's studies go last night?"

"Huh?" Lin Feng looked bewildered. "Feng Shan didn't come to Hua Tuo's house last night."

Didn't you go to Huatuo's house?

Yan Nanfei frowned and looked towards the outhouse; Feng Shan was inside.

"Oh." Yan Nanfei nodded. "Maybe I was dreaming. Take the breakfast over first, don't let them go hungry."

Lin Feng didn't ask any more questions, mainly because Yan Nanfei didn't intend to tell him either. As a former courtesan who was very good at understanding people's thoughts, Lin Feng was very perceptive!

As Lin Feng was about to leave, Yan Nanfei stopped him, saying, "Feng Shan and Hua Tuo are both injured. I won't be home, so you'll have to put in extra effort." Yan Nanfei instructed Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood, and said, "Miss Yan, I will, don't worry."

Yan Nanfei nodded and gestured for him to leave.

……

As Feng Shan emerged from the outhouse, Yan Nanfei cut to the chase, asking, "Lin Feng was here earlier. You didn't go to Hua Tuo's house last night. Where did you go?"

Yan Nanfei's tone was not accusatory, but rather doubtful, and even more so, worried.

It's so late at night, and he's not home or has anywhere to stay. Where did he sleep last night?

Thankfully, it wasn't windy or rainy last night, otherwise I would definitely have a high fever today.

Feng Shan's usually calm eyes showed a moment of guilt, but he spoke without hesitation: "I sharpened my knife by the stream yesterday, thinking of giving it to you for self-defense when you go out."

Feng Shan took out a short knife from his bosom, about fifteen centimeters long, and sheathed it.

I was planning to give it to her after she left, but I didn't expect it to be exposed..."

Yan Nanfei recognized the dagger; it was something his mother had bought from the street when she was alive, or perhaps she had been tricked into buying it.

That swindler, along with her accomplice, used a real, sharp dagger to cheat people, but when the original owner's mother bought it, the dagger was switched with an unopened, blunt one.

This knife was also casually put away. No one knows where Feng Shan found it from, and he spent the whole night sharpening it!

No wonder Yan Nanfei noticed Feng Shan's dark circles; he thought it was because they had stayed up too late studying last night.

The result was that I spent the whole night sharpening the knife!

"Fengshan, thank you." Yan Nanfei took two steps forward and hugged Fengshan around the waist.

This fool must be afraid that sharpening knives at home will disturb her sleep.

He also knew that Yan Nanfei would never let him sharpen the knife.

"Are your hands injured?" Yan Nanfei grabbed his two large hands and examined them carefully.

He had a lot of calluses on his hands, and every time she touched them, she could feel the texture of those calluses.

He's only twenty-five years old.

The pain in Yan Nanfei's heart was beyond words.

The bundle that Fengshan prepared for Yan Nanfei contained a set of thick clothes, a set of ordinary clothes, and the most abundant amount of dry food.

If Yan Nanfei feels cold while traveling at night, he can take it out and wear it.

As for provisions, they wouldn't go hungry if they couldn't find food to sell along the way.

Feng Shan knew that Yan Nanfei had a treasure trove, but Yan Nanfei had also said that the space should not be used if it is not necessary.

Because there are always people more capable than you, you can't guarantee that every time you take something out of the treasure vault, no one will happen to be watching you from the shadows.

Yan Nanfei also left Feng Shan plenty of money, telling him not to worry about spending it.

In addition, Yan Nanfei also went to Zhang Daya and asked her to take good care of her.

She also cared about Qingfu's recent situation. During this time, Zhang Daya had been trying to persuade Qingfu, and his stubborn mind had softened a little. He was no longer so convinced of the Second Miss Huang who was impersonating the Third Miss Huang.

The mother and son are now waiting for Yan Nanfei to take them to the place that Miss Huang goes to every month at the end of the month, so that Qingfu can see through the Huang family's trap.

With everything entrusted to him, Yan Nanfei, watched by Feng Shan, boarded Aunt Ma's donkey cart and headed towards the town.

Yan Nanfei needed to transfer to another vehicle from Qingshan Town to reach the neighboring Doufu Town.

There are two options: horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts.

Those who have enough for five hundred coins will naturally choose a horse-drawn carriage, which is comfortable and fast.

Ordinary people can only afford an oxcart costing two hundred coins.

Yan Nanfei did not ride in a horse-drawn carriage, but in an oxcart.

In ancient times, bandits were rampant, and the probability of being robbed while traveling by horse-drawn carriage was much higher than that of traveling by oxcart.

Yan Nanfei didn't want to be kidnapped. It would be fine if he were kidnapped, but he was afraid of being killed.

She doesn't want to sell salted duck eggs anymore.

Of course, two hundred cash was quite expensive for most ordinary people who only received two taels of silver a month.

After all, they still have to support their families.

Therefore, some people would try to negotiate the price with the oxcart owner.

But the cow owner definitely wouldn't agree: "If you can't afford it, don't sit. I'm just a small business owner. You think it's too expensive, but I think I'm charging too little. If you're so capable, walk over there yourself!"

If one person pays less, everyone will pay less, and even now, if paying less is expensive, then there's no point in doing business; we might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes!

Yan Nanfei ignored those who complained about being poor, because a momentary act of kindness might not necessarily earn gratitude, and could even backfire spectacularly.

Yan Nanfei had looked at the map. Qingshan Town was about 50 li away from Doufu Village, which, in modern terms, was about 30 kilometers (10 kilometers = 20 li).

In addition, the roads were rugged, all dirt roads, full of potholes.

If it rains and the wheels get stuck in a ditch, the passengers have to get off and push to help the oxcart get out.

Most importantly, cattle get tired and hungry after walking for a long time, so we have to wait for them to rest and eat before continuing the journey.

All things considered, it will take at least four hours to get to Tofu Village, which is eight hours in total.

Yan Nanfei did not feel like he was suffering. Thinking about the bright and splendid new life ahead, he felt full of energy and could kill a tiger!

After half an hour of bumpy travel in the oxcart, Yan Nanfei wanted to take back what he had said earlier.

Her buttocks were like dough being slapped, receiving equal treatment from all sides, with not a single smooth piece of flesh.

The people on the oxcart went from chatting and laughing at the beginning to falling silent, each with a furrowed brow, occasionally using their hands to support themselves on the seats and lifting their bottoms to catch their breath.

Some of the older cows couldn't take it anymore, clutching their backs and groaning, begging the owner to stop so they could get off and rest, otherwise they would die on it.

The cow owner didn't refuse, because it was almost time for his cow to rest, and he himself couldn't take it anymore; the constant jolting had given him chronic back problems.

The oxcart stopped, and everyone scrambled to jump down. Yan Nanfei was the last one, because the oxcart had already stopped, so there was no need to rush, and they weren't going to be on their way anytime soon anyway.
