Chapter 649 - 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."
