Chapter 27 - 27: 27 What are you looking for?



After returning to her benefactor’s home, Su Qingyue went into the kitchen and scooped a bowl of water with a pottery bowl. She placed a handful of thin willow twig sections on the stove, picked one, bit one end to soften it, and brushed her teeth with a mouthful of water.

She brushed non-stop, front and back, left and right, inside and out…

After using nine willow twig sections, changing countless bowls of water, and brushing a few spots on her gums raw, she finally felt clean.

When she picked up the tenth twig, she took a pinch of salt from the seasoning pot on the stove, bit a twig section’s end to soften it, dipped it in the salt on her palm, and brushed with saltwater. Her injured gums stung, but she didn’t care, brushing until she’d used up all the salt in her hand. Only after rinsing her mouth with several mouthfuls of water did she feel her oral cavity was clean.

Xiao Yuchuan watched her actions, knowing that his wife had cleaned her teeth many times, and only used salt in the last round in order to save some for their household. He couldn’t help but feel both guilty and touched, “Wife, although my body is sometimes not well, I will do my best to make money and give you a good life.”

He had stayed home today intending to sell her. After deciding not to sell her, he had wanted to keep an eye on her for a while, but now it seemed she no longer wanted to leave.

“Fourth Brother’s leg has been hurting for a few days, and he can’t get out of bed. Second Brother went hunting in the mountains, and you’re injured too. We can’t have no one taking care of the house. Don’t worry, in a few days when Fourth Brother’s leg is no longer hurting so much, I’ll go sell goods and make money…” he added.

Su Qingyue didn’t look at him. In her world, it was so quiet that even firecrackers wouldn’t be heard. Naturally, she didn’t know what the man behind her was babbling about.

She moved the remaining ten willow twigs on the stove over to the wall and planned to use four of them in the evening, three each for tomorrow morning and night. Starting the day after, she wouldn’t be so obsessive: she could brush her teeth just once in the morning and evening with a single twig each time.

However, she’d need to use some salt from this household every time.

Seeing that there was only a little less than half a pot of salt left in the jar, she knew this family was very poor and felt a bit reluctant to use it.

She never thought she, Su Qingyue, who had earned a high reward for killing in modern times and managed wealth well, had over nine figures in savings before she died and time-traveled to ancient times, would hesitate to use a little bit of salt. She must have done too many evil deeds and was being punished by heaven.

Well, she was already eating and living off others while consuming their belongings, which wasn’t ideal.

Being injured herself, she could not earn money. She couldn’t go and kill people for money, could she? Although she had medical skills, no one would believe her in her current situation.

Frankly, she was tired of killing and living a life on the edge. Now that she had a new vessel, she didn’t want to repeat her past of living in constant fear and darkness. In the future, she would earn money honestly, just like the villagers, relying on her own abilities and hard work to make a living.

For now, she needed to recover her health first. Everything else had to wait. She could only do other things when her body was better.

She returned to the room she had slept in last night and searched it again. There was just one extra-large, extra-long sleeping bed and two old, large wardrobes against the wall. There wasn’t much else to search.

She stared at the wardrobe doors, hesitating about whether to open them or not.

“Wife, what are you looking for?” Xiao Yuchuan noticed she was searching for something. Thinking back to her stealing all of their belongings before, which had left Fourth Brother unable to buy medicine, his voice involuntarily became

somber..
