You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 195

He probably thought those bats were too disgusting, so Yin Wushuang stayed in the hot spring longer than usual. When he came out, the sky had darkened and Yin Luoxue was playing with the ferrets outside.
Seeing Yin Wushuang coming out, the ferret jumped up from the table and lightly jumped into his arms.
"Why have you gained weight recently?" Yin Wushuang hugged her and squeezed her, feeling that her touch was much softer than before.
Yin Luoxue said, "I ate too many sausages."
Yin Wushuang frowned, "It can also eat sausages?"
"Why can't I eat it? The Five Poison Grass is fine to eat." Yin Luoxue said, "But maybe I think it's too salty, so I always ask Wang Ma to mix it with rice before I eat it."
The ferret swung its tail slowly, its fur was fluffy, and its whole body was curled up, so it looked like a small snowball.
Yin Wushuang shook his head and handed it to Yin Luoxue, "Get some herbs for it to eat tonight, otherwise it will really be unable to run."
Yin Luoxue's face immediately turned bitter when she heard that, "Can't we wait for Qing Ran to come back before feeding it?" Not only does it run around, but it also bites people. This is a snow ferret, and its teeth are more poisonous than those of a five-step snake. It cannot be suppressed without three or five people.
Yin Wushuang said, "No."
Yin Luoxue: ...
Then you won’t help me!
"What's wrong?" While the two were talking, Liancheng Guyue just came in from the door.
Yin Luoxue disappeared with her ferret in her arms. Any younger brother who doesn't disturb his elder brother's love is a good younger brother.
"Nothing, I was talking about feeding the ferret herbs later." Yin Wushuang said.
"Is it sick?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
Yin Wushuang shook her head. "The snow ferret is a spiritual animal. It was supposed to grow in the snowy mountains and feed on herbs and springs. Eating too much meat is not good for it. So Luoxue has to feed it herbs every month to prevent it from getting sick in the future."
"In that case, why not put it back?" Liancheng Guyue was puzzled.
"It was picked up by Luoxue." Yin Wushuang said, "When I was a child, I was scratched by a falcon and almost lost my life. After I raised it, I released it into the mountains twice, but it ran back by itself within a few days. Just keep it."
"He is also a smart little thing." Liancheng Guyue laughed and pulled him to stand up, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go have dinner. The cook will send him back early."
"Hmm?" Yin Wushuang was puzzled.
"It's the chef from Zui Taihu. I invited him over." Liancheng Guyue said, "The drunken fish must be cooked and eaten fresh, otherwise it will be stale."
Yin Wushuang was a little surprised. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect him to be so serious.
"It's rare that you have the appetite to eat." Liancheng Guyue pinched his chin, "Of course I have to find a way to get it."
Yin Wushuang turned his head to avoid it, his ears turning a little crimson.
*****
Although the days in Wuxuemen were very quiet and beautiful, there were still important things to do. So three days later, the two set off as planned and embarked on the journey to Ranshuang Island in the South China Sea.
Yin Luoxue hugged the snow mink and sighed, "After my brother comes back, we can have the wedding."
The ferret is unhappy and holds its finger to chew it - of course it won't really bite, but it also needs to vent its anger.
A few days ago, it was force-fed a bowl full of medicine paste, which caused a bitter taste in its mouth.
Yin Luoxue patted its head and they returned to Wuxue Gate together.
In midsummer, the weather in the Northeast is quite cool, but as you go south it gets hotter and hotter, and the sun hangs in the sky so fiercely that it seems like it can dry people out. In this kind of weather, no one would like to wander around on the street. After lunch, most people would go home and take a nap. If they were from a well-off family, putting two pieces of ice in the bedroom to cool down would be much more comfortable than outside.
But there have been some exceptions in Sudi City recently. The hottest time at noon is the busiest, and the streets are crowded with people, which is more lively than going to the New Year market.
At the entrance of the city gate, a team of soldiers were checking the appearance of everyone entering and leaving, holding a portrait in their hands for comparison. Liancheng Guyue saw it from afar and said, "There must be a disturbance, so the government is arresting people."
Yin Wushuang sat in front of him, frowning slightly - to save trouble and convenience, he always covered his face with a gauze. Now seeing that there were hundreds of people gathered at the city gate, he didn't want to just do this at all. Go in open.
If it were normal times, the two of them could actually wait until night before sneaking into the city. But now the sun in the sky was too bright, and there was only this town nearby, so Liancheng Guyue got off his horse and stepped forward to see what happened. When I asked, it turned out that a thief appeared out of nowhere in the city recently. It was said that he was extremely capable. He could fly in the sky, escape from the earth, and change his body. He could do anything. Many families had suffered disasters.
"Let's go." After coming back, Liancheng Guyue got on the horse again, "No need to take off the veil."
"Why?" Yin Wushuang asked.
"It's easy to do things if you have money." Liancheng Guyue whispered in his ear, "I just told the guards that the lady I just passed through is thin-skinned, so I asked them to show their respect."
Yin Wushuang's face froze, "You!"
"Besides, the thief in the painting is extremely burly, with extremely ferocious features, even the eyebrows are connected together. Not to mention that you still have two eyes outside. Even if your entire face is covered, no one will notice unless you are blind. You have something to do with him." Before he got angry, Liancheng Guyue changed the topic in time.
But Master Yin was obviously not as easy to fool as Shen Xiaoshou, so he remained silent until they entered the city.
Liancheng Guyue knew that he had gone too far, so he thought of finding an inn to settle down first, and then go along with it. But the heavens did not cooperate, and the two of them went to three inns in a row, but they all said that they were full and could not even spare a room.
"Please don't blame me, gentlemen." Seeing that Liancheng Guyue seemed like a gangster, the waiter was afraid that he would demolish the room in anger, so he hurriedly explained, "There is a nine-curve lantern formation in the city for these three days, and many literati and scholars have come to join in the fun. We really can't find any vacant rooms."
Liancheng Guyue placed a gold ingot on the counter.
Waiter:...
"We only need a room upstairs." Liancheng Guyue said.
"Sir, wait a moment. I'll go up and lobby you right away!" The waiter quickly put the gold into his sleeve, then ran upstairs in a hurry. After a while, he came down happily, "Yes, yes, there are two guests who are willing to share a room. Please wait a moment. You can move in right away after the room is cleaned."
"Thank you." Liancheng Guyue breathed a sigh of relief and sat at the table with Yin Wushuang waiting.
"You two are not here to see the lantern array, are you?" After getting the money, the waiter became more attentive and asked while pouring tea, "Just passing by?"
Liancheng Guyue nodded, "We were going to visit friends in the south, and we didn't expect to encounter the lantern array."
"No wonder, but it's fate that we met." The waiter smiled, "It's a big deal. Since you're here, you must take a look. It's not far from the inn. The river is just across the street. It's even more lively at night." After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Just make sure to take good care of your money. There's a thief in this city recently, and everyone can't guard against him."
"When did it appear?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
"It's been almost a month." The waiter said, "The government has been blocking the city gate every day, but they haven't caught anyone. The city is still being robbed one after another. The boss is not here today because his house was robbed last night. I heard that not only gold and silver jewelry, but also a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and meat were stolen."
Liancheng Guyue smiled, "This thief is really not picky."
While the two were talking, the house above had been cleaned. So Liancheng Guyue took Yin Wushuang upstairs. When he opened the door, he happened to meet two people dressed as scholars walking past. One was slightly taller and the other was much thinner--but had a bad temper. He was also much older. After seeing the two of them, he sneered slightly and went downstairs with a look of displeasure on his face, stomping loudly.
The other person smiled apologetically at the two, and then chased after them. Liancheng Guyue asked in confusion, "Do you know him?"
"Of course I don't know him." Yin Wushuang sat at the table.
"Then why are you so fierce?" Liancheng Guyue closed the door.
"You occupied someone else's house, and you still expect to get a good response?" Yin Wushuang raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Liancheng Guyue reacted and laughed, "Looking unwilling to do so, I don't know how the waiter persuaded me, but he was able to persuade me."
The two of them had been traveling last night to cool down, so they were a little sleepy at this time. After a while, the waiter brought hot water for bathing and a plate of wild red plums, a local specialty. Liancheng Guyue ate one and frowned, "So sour."
Yin Wushuang walked behind the screen, untied her belt and prepared to take a bath.
Liancheng Guyue suddenly felt a war between heaven and man, watching helplessly as he put pieces of clothes on the screen, and then there was a small sound of water.
This inn is the best in the city, so even the screen is made of the finest silk. The gold and silver embroidery on it is secondary, the main point is that it is light-transmissive. So from Liancheng Guyue's perspective, she can just see a hazy silhouette, and thinking of that beautiful body, her throat unconsciously becomes a little dry.
Although the two of them often made out in the hot spring, they were still wearing underwear, which was completely different from bathing. After a while, Liancheng Guyue made up his mind to get in, but the leader of the Wuxue Sect was so alert that before he could get close, a white jade stone flew out and embedded heavily in the door frame.
Liancheng Guyue: ...
Yin Wushuang leaned against the bucket, lazily closing his eyes with a smile on his lips.
Liancheng Guyue sighed silently in her heart and sat back at the table, eating sour plums to relieve the fire.
After a while, Yin Wushuang finally came out from behind the screen, wearing only a thin inner garment, with slightly damp hair.
Liancheng Guyue pulled the person into his arms, lowered his head and k!ssed him firmly - since he didn't see it, he would get it back somewhere else. Yin Wushuang probably took a long bath, so she was quite relaxed. She nestled in his arms with her eyes closed, looking lazy and letting him do whatever he wanted.
Liancheng Guyue pinched his cheek and said, "Go to sleep. I'll take a shower and come with you."
"Yeah." Yin Wushuang took a sour plum and ate it. He thought it tasted pretty good, so he picked up the whole plate and looked at it as if he was going to sit on the bed and eat it slowly.
Liancheng Guyue said, "Don't you think it's sour?"
Yin Wushuang shook his head.
Thinking that he looked quite attractive, Liancheng Guyue laughed out loud, carried him to the bed, and went to take a shower behind the screen.
After rinsing her mouth after eating the sour plums, Yin Wushuang crawled into bed and found herself completely awake.
So when Liancheng Guyue came out, he saw Yin Wushuang already dressed neatly and sitting at the table looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Liancheng Guyue was surprised.
"I'm going out for a walk." Yin Wushuang said, "You go to sleep alone."
Looking at the empty plates on the table, Lian Cheng Guyue couldn't laugh or cry, "That's all, I'll go out with you." If I had known this, I shouldn't have let him eat sour plums...
The sun was still very strong, but after taking a bath and resting for a while, they didn't feel as hot as before. They found the tallest teahouse in the city and asked for a private room to drink tea and enjoy the view.
Looking out of the window, you can just see the Jiuqu Su Causeway in the distance. There are countless small boats parked on the water, willow trees swaying on the shore, and people are crowded around, making it quite lively.
"I asked the waiter before, and he said it was to exorcise the devil." Liancheng Guyue poured him a cup of tea. "Initially it was just burning incense and setting off river lanterns, but in recent years there have been more and more activities, not only poetry competitions, but also water swings and acrobatics. Each event lasts for three to five days, so it's considered a big festival."
"No wonder." Yin Wushuang picked up a snack and ate it. "What is a water swing?"
"A kind of water show, it can also be regarded as a juggling act." Liancheng Guyue said, "Do you want to go see it?"
Yin Wushuang was a little hesitant. He was not someone who liked to join in the fun and always hid wherever it was quiet.
"Just think of it as accompanying me." Liancheng Guyue held his hand, "You see, I'm usually locked up in Changbai Mountain, and it's rare for me to come out."
Yin Wushuang was amused, and a little sunshine shone on his body, making him look very warm.
If other people in the martial arts world saw this, they would probably be shocked.
After all, the master of the Wuxue Sect, who is said to be able to freeze people to death, rarely melts in front of outsiders...
Liancheng Guyue leaned closer, gently brushed away the crispy crust crumbs on the corner of his mouth with the tip of her tongue, her eyes were doting and gentle.
Yin Wushuang was caught off guard, and after she reacted, even her ears felt a little hot.
The land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in fish and rice, and people are much smarter. Therefore, there are many small traders and hawkers along the river. They have everything from all kinds of food to pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The old woman is guarding the bamboo baskets, which are full of everything. It's sour red plum. If a customer wants to buy it, he will put it in a small bowl, sprinkle with sugar and pass it over. It can be said to be a good way to relieve summer heat.
However, Yin Wushuang obviously had no interest in sugar, so he said to Liancheng Guyue, "Remember to buy a basket when you go back."
Liancheng Guyue: ...
A basket? !
"What is this?" Yin Wushuang squatted in front of the stall and picked up a fist-sized cloth ball. It was embroidered with many auspicious flowers and plants. The flowers were green and festive.
So Liancheng Guyue was shocked again. He originally thought that it would be very difficult to pull him to the river for a walk, but he never expected that he would be interested in these little things.
"My lord, this is a blessing ball." The stall owner pointed to the river. "There is a stone beast over there that wards off disasters. If you can throw the ball into the stone beast's mouth, you will have good luck in the coming year. If you can throw three in a row, you can get a brocade beast. If you can throw ten in a row, you can get ten taels of gold."
"Give me ten." Liancheng Guyue squatted beside him.
"Okay." The stall owner quickly took down ten of them.
"Let's go." Liancheng Guyue pulled Yin Wushuang to stand up, "Let's go join in the fun."
Many people gathered in front of the stone beast, obviously they were all there for the ten taels of gold, but only a few could actually throw the hydrangea in. Firstly, the stone beast was in the middle of the river, so it was far away; secondly, strong winds would blow over the river from time to time, and the hydrangeas were made light, so they were often blown away halfway. It was rare to throw one in, and it was even more impossible to throw three or ten.
Liancheng Guyue raised an eyebrow. This was obviously another way for merchants to make money. But even so, the people still flocked to it. After all, buying ten hydrangeas was not expensive. If you were really lucky, it would be ten taels of gold.
"Next." The manager in charge of maintaining the stone beasts had a grin on his face the whole time, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood because he had earned some money.
Yin Wushuang stretched out his hand.
Liancheng Guyue handed over the hydrangea.
"Sir, please stand here." The steward saw that he was thin and masked, and thought he was just another scholar who came to compete in poetry, so he didn't take it seriously and led him to stand on the high platform.
Yin Wushuang picked up a hydrangea and threw it in.
"Wow." The people around exclaimed. After all, most people would have to aim for a long time, and they had never seen anyone like him, who threw without even looking, and actually threw it in.
Liancheng Guyue found it funny. This boss was afraid that he would bleed heavily today.
The steward's face also turned pale, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Young master is really lucky."
Yin Wushuang picked up the second one and threw it in easily.
The people began to applaud enthusiastically.
Steward:...
Yin Wushuang thought it was fun at first, but after throwing three, she got bored and threw the rest at once. The hydrangea drew a colorful arc on the surface of the river and landed steadily in the mouth of the stone beast.
Liancheng Guyue stretched out his hand and let him help him jump down.
"Give money! Give money!" People always like to join in the fun, so they started to make a noise.
Although the steward was extremely reluctant, he had made the promise after all, so he planned to take the gold with a sad face and admit his bad luck. However, Yin Wushuang had already picked up a brocade stone beast next to her and pulled Liancheng Guyue out of the crowd, intending to see if there was any other fun to join in.
The people were immediately disappointed.
The steward breathed a sigh of relief and almost sat on the ground because his legs were weak.
"Have you had enough fun?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
"Yeah." Yin Wushuang said, "It's not fun."
Liancheng Guyue laughed and wiped a little sweat from his forehead.
Under normal circumstances, who would believe that the famous leader of the Wuxue Sect would have the leisure to stand by the river and play hurling with the common people during the festival.
As for the brocade stone beast, Yin Wushuang got tired of it after holding it for a while, but he didn't want to throw it away, so Liancheng Guyue had to hold it for him, "We've been walking for most of the day, let's find a place to sit down."
Yin Wushuang nodded and went to a pleasure boat with him.
Compared to the teahouse, the private room on the boat was much smaller, but also much cooler. Yin Wushuang yawned lazily, "I'm sleepy."
"Sleep for a while first?" Liancheng Guyue said, "We can have dinner in half an hour. The lake fish feast here is very famous. Let's go back after eating."
"Okay." Yin Wushuang nodded.
Liancheng Guyue said, "Shall I hold you?"
Yin Wushuang took the stone beast from the side, put it on the table and lay down to sleep.
Liancheng Guyue began to regret why he didn't just throw this thing away.
There was a gentle breeze on the river and the voices of people were very noisy, but even so, Yin Wushuang fell asleep quickly. Liancheng Guyue took off his cloak and gently wrapped the person around him with extremely gentle movements.
By the river, several people from the martial arts world who came to join in the fun were wondering whether the man just now was the leader of the Yin Sect. They looked a bit like him, but they always felt something was not right.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that it must not be the case. At most, they just look similar.
After all, the legendary leader of the Wuxue Sect not only disdains worldly affairs, but even his eyes are cold...
As night fell, lights lit up on the river. Yin Wushuang was in a good mood after waking up, and she felt even better after seeing the plate of sour plums in front of her.
"It's for your wakefulness." Liancheng Guyue said, "Don't eat too much, it's time to eat."
"Where are we going later?" Yin Wushuang asked.
"It's at the restaurant next door." Liancheng Guyue said, "The river fish here are unparalleled in the world. I've asked the waiter from Hua Fang to help book a place."
"Yes." Yin Wushuang handed him the brocade stone beast, "Let's go."
Liancheng Guyue asked, "Do you still want to take it with you?"
"Why not?" Yin Wushuang said as she walked out, "It's quite soft."
Liancheng Guyue looked at the stone beast with its mouth wide open in his hand and twisted it silently.
You really couldn't be more childish.
The restaurant was already bustling with people, and soon after the two sat down, the waiter served a few appetizers. Yin Wushuang looked out the window and saw the lights on the river, with at least hundreds of river lanterns lined up.
"Do you want to put one away?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
Yin Wushuang shook his head, "I don't want to, it's not interesting to watch."
"Then let's go to the other end." Liancheng Guyue said, "Although the water swing will officially start tomorrow, there will be people practicing tonight, and it will be more interesting at night."
"Really?" Yin Wushuang was indeed interested.
Yin Wushuang nodded and fed him a handful of bamboo shoots.
The fish in the lake in Sudi City are extremely plump. Over the past few hundred years, everyone in restaurants, big and small, and even in ordinary people's homes, has the unique skill of cooking fish, and this restaurant is the best. In just a moment, One soup and three fish dishes were already served steaming hot on the table, which looked very appetizing.
Yin Wushuang lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, finding it extremely delicious, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate seriously. Liancheng Guyue, who was watching from the opposite side, was pleased with what he saw, and was just thinking about whether he should order some more vegetarian dishes for him when there was a sudden noise from below.
"Are you blind? Even our leader dares to challenge you?"
His voice was extremely arrogant, and he was obviously an annoying person.
