Chapter 1438 - 1433: An Unfathomable Man
"Great!" Shen Feng nodded, then showed a troubled expression, "But I don’t have money now!"
"Talk about it when you have money!"
Mu Shuangshuang was very generous, giving the impression that she didn’t profit from accepting this silver tael and even seemed to be at a loss.
Feeding Shen Feng chicken soup was actually not a difficult task.
He was neither a child nor a senseless fool, so Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to remind him.
She stuffed whatever, and he just opened his mouth to eat!
After drinking half a bowl of chicken soup, Mu Shuangshuang tore two buns into the soup, letting Shen Feng finish the chicken soup and buns together.
After a bowl of hot soup, Shen Feng, who had been pale, regained some rosiness.
When it was time to take medicine, Shen Feng frowned.
"This... medicine, did you buy it in the city?"
"No, I brought it from the county; there’s still a lot. They’re all prepared and just need to be boiled!"
Mu Shuangshuang should also thank Zhang Huai Shu.
Knowing she was going to the Northwest, he spent days and nights preparing various medicines for her without saying a word.
Otherwise, Fengzi and Shen Feng wouldn’t enjoy such good service.
Hearing that Mu Shuangshuang brought her own medicine, Shen Feng’s anxious heart relaxed.
He said, "These days, don’t go to the medical clinic to buy injury medicine! If you can avoid going out, then don’t!
Also, even at home, it’s best to dress entirely in male attire. Xing City doesn’t have your pass, and if discovered, it could cause a lot of trouble."
"You know I’m Lu Daniu?" Mu Shuangshuang’s eyebrows unintentionally furrowed after hearing Shen Feng’s words.
"Yes!"
"When did you discover it?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
She thought she was well-disguised, and even Zhao Erbiao, with his extensive experience, didn’t know she was a woman.
"Probably when you kept saying you’re going to marry a wife. You may have tried hard to act lascivious, but your eyes are too clear and not those of a lustful person!"
"..."
After hearing Shen Feng’s words, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t feel well.
She thought she was smart all this time, but unexpectedly, couldn’t even fool a novice.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have intentionally acted sleazy in front of those men.
Acting was tiring, and it became the evidence of her exposure!
Forget it!
"Know then; it doesn’t matter since I won’t stay here long!" Mu Shuangshuang lowered her head, muttering to herself.
Having lowered her head, she missed the flash of complex emotion in Shen Feng’s eyes.
When Mu Shuangshuang again lifted her head, Shen Feng’s expression had returned to its prior appearance.
Calm and unruffled!
"What exactly is your identity?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly asked.
"And... why have you come to me again and again? Do you want to harm me?"
Mu Shuangshuang looked at Shen Feng with doubt.
It wasn’t surprising she thought so; this place was for people from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency to rest.
Shen Feng had already left the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and shouldn’t be staying here.
But he came twice.
And this time, he was deeply wounded.
From Shen Feng’s tone, this wasn’t a trivial matter.
Not even letting her buy injury medicine from the clinic indicated he was afraid of being discovered!
"Sorry... some things can’t be told to you, but I definitely don’t intend to harm you; this point, you can rest assured!"
Rest assured, assure your sister!
You’re here like a ticking time bomb.
If you’re a wanted criminal of the court, isn’t this affecting her?
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t have that spirit of self-sacrifice, nor did she have much of a good relationship with Shen Feng.
She wasn’t willing to risk her life for Shen Feng!
"I’ll go find you some clothes, later change out of your black clothes and let me burn them!
In the coming days, you’ll nest in the woodshed and wait until things quiet down! Besides, I won’t be staying here for long, and can’t solve your eating problem!"
Mu Shuangshuang had her own plans and wouldn’t stay here forever.
But due to Shen Feng’s secrecy, she didn’t explain it clearly to him.
"You... you’re leaving here... leaving Xing City?" Shen Feng asked.
"That’s right!" Mu Shuangshuang said proudly, speaking falsely.
"Didn’t you promise those people to provide supplies for the Zhenyuan Escort Agency here?"
"You indeed know what happened next!" Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Shen Feng.
This person knew far more than she expected!
"I promised to provide them with a resting place and supplies, but we also agreed that if I didn’t stay here, I’d find someone to replace me!
The work is nothing different from a maid or servant; I could resolve it by buying a maid or servant in the street!"
Mu Shuangshuang spoke with an effortless tone.
Shen Feng looked visibly discomforted.
Which made Mu Shuangshuang increasingly feel Shen Feng was deliberately coming to trouble her.
She didn’t want to talk much with Shen Feng.
Mu Shuangshuang took the dishes to the kitchen, washing them thoroughly and having breakfast in the cooking room.
After breakfast, she took a set of Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes for Shen Feng.
As for Shen Feng’s clothes last night, she burned them to ash with a roaring fire; you wouldn’t find half a scrap left.
After finishing this, Mu Shuangshuang went out for a trip.
According to Shen Feng, what he did last night must be significant.
It’s conceivable someone in the city might know.
But when she returned from her rounds, no one knew anything had happened.
She then went to the clinic to fetch some medicine for wind chill.
Meanwhile, she noticed strangers around the clinic pulling aside anyone buying injury medicine for interrogation.
Those who couldn’t explain were taken away!
Mu Shuangshuang increasingly felt Shen Feng, this ticking time bomb, couldn’t stay with her.
She quickly returned home and found the gate open.
Did someone come in?
Mu Shuangshuang hesitated to enter, and Lu Yuanfeng walked out from the courtyard.
Upon seeing her, he appeared extremely delighted.
"Shuangshuang, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, where did you go?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.
Seeing the medicine in her hand, he became worried.
"Are you sick? What medicine is this?"
Saying this, he placed his hand on Mu Shuangshuang’s forehead.
"I’m fine! It’s medicine for cold, the weather is too chilly, I thought of preparing some at home!
By the way, why did you come not saying you wouldn’t appear these days? Or did you find a way for me to leave for the military camp?"
Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Lu Yuanfeng smiled helplessly, "You little clever ghost, you knew about this! By the way, you can go to the military camp now! You don’t need anyone’s help, you can go directly yourself!"
"No need to ask anyone?" Mu Shuangshuang became interested.
"Yes, the commander needs a chef to help him cook, and can leave anytime! I think it fits our current situation perfectly!" Lu Yuanfeng replied.
