Chapter 649: Chapter 322 Thrilling_1

On the afternoon of the twenty-first, Qian Yixiu began to feel a painful heaviness in her lower abdomen. Soon her period arrived, and she finally felt at ease. This way, she could set out early on the twenty-fourth, and if the journey went smoothly, she could reach Cave Sky Pool by evening. She hoped to rest only for one night and rush back the next day, to return home while the weather was still good. Of course, this was the best-laid plan.

She lay curled up in bed, hugging Grandma Tang. She had her first period this past May, and everything was fine except for some pain during the first two days of each period.

Sister Zeng brought in a bowl of brown sugar water, helped Qian Yixiu sit up to drink it, and murmured, "Miss, you are still young, how can you run to the mountains when your period isn’t even over yet? With the cold earth stirring, what would you do if it harmed your body? When you leave, I will prepare some goji berries, red dates, brown sugar, and old ginger for you to take with you. When you make a fire to cook, you can boil some water with these, it’s good for your health..."

Qian Yixiu nodded and said okay. She was also afraid that weakening her body would make it difficult to become pregnant. She had not yet been a mother in her past or present life and did not want to lose the right to motherhood.

On the twenty-second and twenty-third, still biting through the pain, she got up and prepared what she needed to take and wear with a few maids. Pan Yue also came to help, and with Mingming and Jingjing’s fussing, Lianxiang Water Pavilion was exceptionally lively.

She had to prepare much more for this trip than usual. Since it was winter and there might be delays due to the weather, enough food had to be packed. Since cold water couldn’t be drunk, pots and bowls were necessary. If they encountered an emergency and needed to rest on the road, a small cotton quilt was also required. The two men might not need it, but she definitely did...

Qian Yixiu had someone take two large leather backpacks to Liang Jinzhao and Master Wuming. These backpacks were sturdy, easy to carry, waterproof, and could hold a lot of items, which were much better than the bundles they usually slung diagonally across their backs.

Liang Jinzhao, holding the backpack, was overjoyed, thinking the girl was truly clever to have thought of such bags. If the army carried these during marches and battles, it would be much more convenient.

The Little Monk saw him playing with the bag and chuckled, guessing his thoughts. He said very proudly, "My sister is the most intelligent woman in the world, many of the things she makes are unique."

Liang Jinzhao nodded and said, "Indeed. I noticed her cleverness when she was a child, much more so than other children."

By the evening of the twenty-third, everything was ready, just waiting for them to set out early the next morning.

Qian Yixiu went to the main courtyard to visit Qian Sangui. Grandfather Sangui’s health was truly deteriorating, mainly due to his heartache, worrying about his granddaughter and his children far away in the Capital City. Although the Old Monk had assured him that Qian Yixiu would certainly return safely from her journey, he still could not let go.

Seeing Grandfather Sangui, who had lost weight in just a few days, Qian Yixiu’s heart was filled with sourness. Sitting by the bed, she said, "Grandfather, I’ll be back in two or three days. Nothing will go wrong. I’ve heard that Master Wuming’s martial arts skills are extremely high, even more formidable than those top fighters from the imperial court. With Monkey Brother and General Liang protecting me, there will be no problems."

Qian Sangui opened his eyes and, holding Qian Yixiu’s hand, said, "Yixiu, you’re the one Grandfather is most worried about in this family, even more than your father and your brother. You must come back, or Grandfather won’t be able to live on." After saying this, he began to cry.

With tears rimming her eyes, Qian Yixiu said, "I will definitely return safely. Grandfather, have someone prepare a mutton hotpot; I want to eat it as soon as I get back."

Qian Sangui replied, "Alright, Grandfather will have it ready at any time, just for when you come back."

The next day, at the end of the Yin hour, when the night was at its darkest, Qian Yixiu got up. After eating and drinking her fill, she put on a cotton jacket and trousers, and deer skin boots. She topped it off with a brown knee-length vest and brown trousers. She tied a wide belt, tucking the trousers into her boots. Her hair was braided into a plait and coiled atop her head. In this way, she was dressed simply and could move freely.

She patted her chest, where she kept two lifesaving Red Demon Fruits. When she returned home, she had brought three Red Demon Fruits with her. Such heaven-defying treasures, she did not feel at ease leaving them at home.

Luckily she had them. When Father Jiang went out on business, she was worried about accidents befalling him, so she gave him one, using the same excuse that it was a gift from the Old Monk.

Now she still had two left, and as long as she didn’t fall off a cliff or suffer a catastrophic head injury, she could use them to save lives. She always felt some regret that if she had given two fruits to Princess Ning back then, the Princess might not have died.

She also touched the Star Moon Bodhi Bead around her neck, a bead the Old Monk had always worn himself, capable of warding off evil and misfortune. With it, she should be safe.
