Chapter 56 Ancient Beauty Experts
It was unknown how long it had passed before Su Luo heard the voice again. The pair of eyes were no longer in front of her. She leaned on Yun Lang and saw a flash of golden light in the air. The golden light fell into the hands of a guard. It was a small token. The inner door was half closed and then opened again. More than ten horsemen rode away without stopping. Pedestrians in the city fled one after another, leaving behind some complaints.
The swift and decisive action of this team made Su Luo feel somewhat familiar. Before she had time to think about it, she felt her breathing was a little difficult. She turned her eyes back and saw four or five heads surrounding her. Facing her was Old Li, who was pinching her Ren Zhong with such force that he almost pulled out her front teeth.
Su Luo quickly pushed away the heads that were emitting carbon dioxide to breathe some fresh air. How embarrassing! The horse's hooves didn't scare her to death, but the pair of eyes made her lose consciousness for a while. This was the second time she was unable to extricate herself in public - the first time was when she saw two canines openly flirting and performing a hot dog show on the street.
Seeing that she was fine, the guards at the gate mercilessly kicked Su Luo and her group out of the gate. Su Luo stared in a daze in the direction where the group disappeared. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, that group of people did give her a familiar feeling, iron-blooded and murderous.
Su Luo was thinking about it, Zhou Chongwen asked Old Li about Su Luo's condition with a worried look on his face. Old Li patted his chest and assured her that she was fine, just scared. He would prescribe a prescription for her later...
Su Luo shuddered and quickly restored her vitality to show that she was fine. What a joke! She didn't want the ghost of a hanged ghost to calm her down. But where had she seen this team before? Logically, she shouldn't have forgotten such a cool group of people. At this time, she caught a glimpse of the disdainful look on Yun Lang's face, and also looked at the direction where those people disappeared.
"you know?"
Yunlang shook his head.
"I feel like he looks a little familiar." Su Luo posed like a famous detective and thought.
Yun Lang put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her forward. "You look so familiar! Hurry up and find a place to rest. I'm hungry."
Zhou Chongwen came over and squeezed in between Yun Lang and Su Luo, "I think so too..."
Yun Lang grabbed Zhou Chongwen's collar and swung him behind him, continuing to hold Su Luo in his arms, "Order some good wine and food for lunch..."
Su Luo suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "When you mentioned wine, I remembered that it was those people who were with Qin Huai in Taohuayuan. When they appeared, Qin Huai must have already arrived in Nanjing. "
Yun Lang slapped himself repeatedly, turned around and looked for Zhou Chongwen to form an alliance, and whispered: "Let's keep an eye on her and don't let her go to find that Qin guy alone."
Zhou Chongwen agreed with a bit of embarrassment. He didn't have the courage to say, "You should worry about yourself." He still firmly believed what Su Luo said and that Qin Huai was interested in Yun Lang.
Su Luo knew what Zhou Si was thinking from his expression. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled for a long time, leading everyone to move forward. Finally, they found an inn with a small front but many guests. Just when she was about to invite everyone in, she turned around and saw Gan Lin's tearful face. Gan Lin held Su Luo's arm with red eyes, sniffling all the time, and couldn't speak for a long time. Su Luo was confused and asked her what was wrong. As soon as she asked, the little girl cried "wow", sobbing and saying sorry. Su Luo was a little confused, not knowing where this sorry came from. After asking for a long time, she couldn't get any information. Finally, Zhou Chongwen stepped in and solved it in one fell swoop. It turned out that Gan Lin was apologizing for her being scared silly by the cavalry and almost implicated Su Luo.
Su Luo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This girl's reaction time was very long. It took her an hour to react from the moment the incident happened.
Su Luo motioned for others to go in first, while Zhou Chongwen and he comforted Gan Lin at the door for a long time. When they entered the inn, the public had already booked a small courtyard with four bedrooms and a living room as their temporary base in Nanjing. Su Luo was very satisfied with this, and after assigning the rooms, he sat in the hall and imagined the bright future of Compendium of Materia Medica with Old Li.
Fate, sometimes it is so irresistible. Being robbed? That's nothing! Being imprisoned? That's nothing! Failed to sell cloth? That's nothing! The most important thing is that she met a book and an old man. These two things will completely rewrite Su Luo's unsuccessful destiny of traveling through time!
Ahem! Correction: the old man is a piece of shit.
That afternoon, Su Luo asked the innkeeper about the location of Qin's head office. Carrying the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his pocket, and accompanied by his two bodyguards Yun Lang and Zhou Chongwen, he set out in a high-spirited and confident manner.
Zhou Chongwen advised Yunlang not to go, as he was afraid that the meeting between two men would cause Yunlang unnecessary trouble. Yunlang didn't listen to him at all and even appointed himself the chief protector, with Zhou Si as the second in command.
An hour later, Su Luo came back dejectedly with one or two guardians.
Qin Huai did not return to Nanjing, at least not yet, and no one knows when he will be back. That team of people was obviously providing wrong information.
Back at the inn, Su Luo was a little depressed, not knowing whether she should stay and wait for Qin Huai to come back. Moreover, even if the publication of Compendium of Materia Medica was negotiated immediately, it was not something that could be published immediately. It would take at least one or two years to find someone to print the plates before she could see the profit. She also had a business in Zhuxian Town. Although it was not big, it was her hard work. Besides, she was always afraid that Bao Zixing would fool her again, so she was anxious to go back and take a look.
Su Luo returned to her room absentmindedly, thinking of something. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gan Lin lying on the bed with a cloth covering his eyes, which scared her. Influenced by a certain costume TV series, Su Luo thought that this person was blind as soon as she saw this look, although she never understood the necessary connection between blindness and the cloth.
Gan Lin heard someone coming in and asked, "Is that Brother Wu?"
Wu Yong's bitter and resentful face appeared in front of Su Luo's eyes. He was a little puzzled as to when this little girl had gotten in touch with him. In Su Luo's impression, Wu Yong had never spoken to anyone except Old Li.
Gan Lin lifted the cloth and sat up. Seeing that it was Su Luo, she smiled shyly, "It turns out that Sister Su is back." Seeing Su Luo looking at the cloth in her hand, she handed it to her, "My eyes are a little swollen. Brother Wu said this can reduce the swelling."
Su Luo picked it up and took a look, and discovered that the cloth strip contained some brewed tea leaves. She didn't expect that this little beauty technique would be popular at this time.
At this time, Wu Yong pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Su Luo was still frowning, he nodded at her, put a small bottle in his hand on the table, and said to Gan Lin: "This is my homemade cleansing powder. You can use it to clean your face every day, and it will remove the wrinkles on your face."
Su Luo then noticed that Gan Lin's cheekbones were a little red. She thought it was because he had been crying outside today and the cold wind left marks on them.
"This is cold ash powder made from more than ten kinds of Chinese herbs such as Leonurus japonicus and Tonka wood. Long-term use can remove dark spots, fine lines, and facial skin." Seeing that Su Luo seemed quite interested, Wu Yong explained it, still with a bitter face.
Su Luo smelled it and found it had a herbal scent mixed with a strange fragrance. As soon as he smelled it, he felt as if he was in a field of flowers under the sun. It made him feel relaxed. Just by the smell, he knew that this thing was much better than any bath beans or soapberries.
"Will my face feel dry after washing?" Su Luo wanted to try it now. The oil balance on her face was seriously destroyed by the ancient soap made from soap pods.
Wu Yong looked at Su Luo's face carefully, turned around and went out. After a while, he came back with two more small bottles in his hands. "This bottle is peach blossom facial medicine. Apply it on your face after cleansing to nourish your skin. After washing it off, use this bottle of ruby cream to make your face rosy and radiant. After a few days, your face will be as red as ruby."
"Did you develop all these?" He is so talented. Su Luo looked at Wu Yong with admiration. At this moment, she really felt that she had the physique of a time traveler. If she met a cellmate casually, he would be Li Shizhen. If she saved someone casually, he would be an ancient beauty expert.
"Yes, some are improved according to ancient recipes." Wu Yong was quite humble. Su Luo didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that when Wu Yong talked about these, his face seemed to look better and less bitter.
Su Luo looked at the bottles in her hand, and suddenly some thoughts came to her mind, but she couldn't put them into words. What were they? She had to think about it carefully.
