Chapter 31 Shi An is angry
Chu Ci quickly waved his hand modestly and said, "Not at all, I am the one who is honored to be associated with him."
Seeing this, Han Feng nodded in satisfaction, secretly regretting that Chu Ci could become her granddaughter-in-law.
"Never mind," Han Feng said, no longer thinking about it. He warmly invited, "Come, take a look at this hidden blade. It's one of my prized possessions that I've been keeping for a long time."
As she spoke, she handed the weapon in her hand to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci carefully took the hidden arrow and examined it closely, not wanting to miss a single detail.
After a moment, she looked up, a hint of interest in her eyes: "May I try?"
Han Feng smiled and nodded, pointing to a lifelike fake crow hanging on the wall and saying, "Then let's shoot that one."
Chu Ci steadily raised his hand and aimed at the target.
Her movements were fluid and natural, as if she had rehearsed them countless times.
Just then, she flicked her finger, and the hidden arrow shot out like a meteor, rushing towards the fake crow with a sharp whistling sound.
The hidden dart traced a beautiful arc in the air before piercing the crow's eye with perfect precision.
Han Feng couldn't help but clap his hands, his face full of admiration: "What excellent archery!"
The way she looked at Chu Ci changed; what was originally just curiosity and appreciation now held a hint of admiration.
She chuckled softly, "I'd heard some stories about you before, but I always thought they might be exaggerated. Now it seems those rumors were quite accurate."
Chu Ci smiled modestly, "You flatter me, I'm just showing off my limited skills."
After saying that, she handed the hidden dart to the man beside her and asked with concern, "Take a look, do you like this hidden dart?"
Shi An held the hidden blade in his hand, stroking it carefully, his eyes sparkling: "I like it very much."
"That's good." Chu Ci nodded readily. "Shopkeeper, please settle the bill."
Han Feng walked to the counter, carefully calculated, and then said, "Just give me one tael of silver, and consider the dagger as a gift from me."
Chu Ci was taken aback, and quickly shook her head: "This... isn't a good idea."
Han Feng smiled, waved his hand, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I really like this young lady. Consider it a wedding gift for you two. Take it! Take it!"
Since Han Feng was so enthusiastic, Chu Ci could no longer refuse and gratefully accepted the gift.
The two left the weapon shop. By then, the sun had completely set and night had fallen.
Chu Ci originally planned to go straight home, but Shi An saw that the pharmacy next door was still open. On a whim, she pulled Chu Ci inside.
When the pharmacy owner saw that it was Chu Ci, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
After all, the red phoenix that this lady brought last time made her a fortune.
"What brings you here, Madam Chu?" the shopkeeper asked warmly.
Chu Ci smiled and replied, "It's just that my husband wanted to come here for a visit."
"Oh, okay, we have a lot of medicines here. What would you like, brother-in-law?"
After thinking for a moment, Shi An listed out the medicinal herbs he needed.
The shopkeeper frowned as he took notes.
After Shi An finished speaking, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, "This..."
Seeing this, Chu Ci stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The shopkeeper hesitated before replying, "It's nothing, it's just that most of the medicines you mentioned are poisonous. And some of the herbs might even cause fainting."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look up at Chu Ci and ask, "What does your husband need all this medicine for?"
Chu Ci's heart stirred, and he instantly understood Shi An's intention.
She smiled slightly and chuckled softly, "Oh, it's probably used to poison some stinky rats."
"Poisonous rats?" The shopkeeper looked at Chu Ci with some doubt. "Aren't there special rat poisons for poisonous rats?"
Chu Ci shrugged and explained helplessly, "Who knows? Just give him whatever he wants."
The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright, in that case, I'll prescribe it for him. However, these medicines can't be taken indiscriminately."
Chu Ci smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, shopkeeper. I'll remind him."
The shopkeeper sighed and turned to get the medicine.
After receiving the medicinal herbs, Shi An felt much more at ease.
In his previous life in Kyoto, he used these poison powders for self-defense. Now, combined with the hidden arrows that Chu Ci bought for him, their lethality has increased significantly.
"Oh, by the way, my husband has premenstrual cramps. Could you take his pulse?"
Chu Ci turned to look at Shi An and asked, "Is it alright?"
Shi An's face turned bright red instantly; he hadn't expected Chu Ci to say it so directly.
He was a little embarrassed, but he nodded and then extended his hand.
The shopkeeper readily agreed and said to Shi An, "Come on."
Shi An awkwardly reached out her hand, feeling very nervous.
After a while, the shopkeeper finished his diagnosis and said to Chu Ci, "There's nothing seriously wrong. It's just caused by cold constitution. I'll prescribe a formula for him to drink for two months, and he'll be fine."
Chu Ci felt much relieved upon hearing this, and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
"You're welcome," the shopkeeper replied with a smile.
After writing the prescription and dispensing the medicine, just as Chu Ci was about to leave, Shi An suddenly pulled the shopkeeper aside, and the two whispered something to each other.
Chu Ci stood there waiting for them to finish speaking, her heart filled with curiosity, her gaze fixed on them.
When the person returned, Chu Ci immediately went up to them and asked directly, "Are you sick?"
Shi An shook his head, indicating that he was not sick.
Chu Ci then asked, "So what did you go to ask?"
Shi An replied, "I just wanted to ask where the Red Phoenix usually lives."
Chu Ci was very puzzled after hearing this and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Shi An gave her a cold look and then said, "Did you go to the cliff to gather herbs before?"
Chu Ci thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
It's over, exposed.
On the way home, Shi An didn't speak to Chu Ci again, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet.
Chu Ci wanted to talk to Shi An several times, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, she was the one who lied first, so she felt like she had done something wrong.
After returning home, Shi An prepared to get off the donkey, and Chu Ci wanted to help him.
But Shi An didn't want her help and jumped off the donkey by himself. As a result, he lost his balance and almost fell.
"what!"
Chu Ci quickly turned and caught Shi An, holding him tightly in her arms. "Be careful."
Shi An felt a little embarrassed and angrily pushed Chu Ci away, trying to walk on her own. However, she accidentally stepped on a loose stone, fell backward, and fell into Chu Ci's arms again.
Shi An: "........."
