Zhan Xiaolou sighed and put away the talisman in his hand. At this critical moment, he was the one who saved his life.
Suddenly, he realized that other than his medical skills, he didn't know anything. If he met a bad guy, he wouldn't be able to execute a single move or half a move. Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others? If only he knew that he should have asked for a battle technique secret manual, he would have learned a move or two.
Thinking of this, his eyes drifted to the two big boxes in his personal space. One of them was filled with gold and silver notes, while the other was filled with books, most of which were medical books. Zhan Xiaotao was rummaging through them for a long time before he finally brought out a somewhat old book called Five Birds Opera …
When she came out of her personal space, she remembered that Ning Yu was still waiting for her to eat, so she quickly went to find him.
During the meal, Zhan Xiaolou revealed his intentions.
The carriage, clothes, food, and so on. Wan Baode had just sent someone to greet him, and volunteered to help prepare them.
"Ning Yu, I've made an agreement with Wandering. Tomorrow morning, he will send someone to bring the carriage and other things to us. He even bought a coachman for us. I'll bring you to the Lunar Encyclopedia tomorrow, how about that?" As she spoke, she used her chopsticks to pick up a pork chop from the plate and put it into Ning Yu's bowl.
Ning Yu lowered her head to look at her bowl of delicious red braised pork ribs, which was still steaming red. She looked up at Lou Cheng with a smile and nodded.
Naturally, he was willing.
That night, the two of them went to bed early. Zhan Xiaolou said that he needed to rest up so that they could set off tomorrow.
The night was as cold as water, the cold moonlight shining through the carved holes in the window, painting a picture on the ground. The surroundings were extremely quiet, suddenly, a shadow flashed past the window, messing up the picture on the ground for a moment.
A few seconds later, the latch was lifted by a thin piece of paper that had come in from the outside, and with a click, the door was opened slightly with an almost inaudible creak.
Seeing the person sleeping soundly under the blanket, the person pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and stabbed the person on the bed with all his might without a word.
The blade flashed with a cold light, cutting through the silent night.
However, after a few slashes, the person discovered that something was wrong. Why did it feel like he had stabbed into cotton, and he was not moving at all?
With a loud cry in his heart, he lifted up the blanket. When he saw the two pillows that were stabbed with cotton under the blanket and scattered in all directions, a loud shout came from outside the door.
"Who is it?"
He somersaulted, kicked open the nearest window, and jumped out like a carp.
Zhan Xiaolou was shocked. This was the third floor, and below it was a stone slab. She ran over to the window and looked down. She saw that person limping and walking very fast. Soon, he disappeared into the dark street.
Zhan Xiaolou felt a lingering fear. It was fortunate that Yama reminded her that someone wanted her life today. It was fortunate that she had the heart to ask the inn owner to change rooms tonight …
There were still three to four hours left before daybreak. She dared not sleep any longer. She lit up the lamp and sat at the table, allowing the first ray of sunlight to shine through.
They called for Ning Yu, and the two of them washed up before eating breakfast. When they walked out of the inn, they saw that the carriage arranged by Wan Bao De was already waiting for them.
The horse carriage looked very low-key and plain on the outside, but once you entered, you would realize that it was completely different from the outside.
