The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 602: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (141)

The day Su Xiangran arrived in Qiucheng, the sky was gloomy and there was a drizzle.

The person who came to the station to pick her up was Doctor Yao's apprentice. When the apprentice saw her for the first time, he was stunned and thought to himself: "There is such a beautiful woman in this world! I don't know how to describe her, anyway, she is like someone who walked out of a painting."

But the apprentice quickly came to his senses, because he suddenly thought: his master, who was not good-looking, probably had a very beautiful wife, so his daughter looked like this.

Then the apprentice couldn't help but worry that in Qiu City ruled by the GZ Army, being good-looking might not be a good thing.

At this time, Su Xiangran, oh no, should call her "Yao Huang", she noticed the worry on the apprentice's face, so she took the initiative to lower the brim of her hat, covering most of her face.

"Miss, would you like to change your clothes?" The apprentice hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but suggest, "It's best not to wear this overly conspicuous cheongsam. You can find something more ordinary to change into."

Hearing this, Yao Huang was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that she really didn't bring any other clothes. The suitcase was filled with cheongsams and dresses prepared for her by Boss Shao, with no simple clothes.

Even though Boss Shao usually likes to wear all black, he is actually a very flamboyant person.

"Yao Huang" looked around and found that Qiucheng might not be as prosperous as Haishi, but the railway station was definitely one of the best.

Moreover, the surrounding facilities and shops are quite complete, and there is a ready-made clothing shop not far away.

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to buy some simple clothes." After saying this, Yao Huang asked the apprentice to look after the suitcase while he went to buy clothes.

In this shop, Yao Huang changed out of her brocade cheongsam and put on cotton clothes that were more common in Qiucheng. She also changed her hairstyle into two ponytails.

Fortunately, she didn't wear any makeup today, otherwise removing it would be a hassle.

After making all these preparations, she reunited with the pharmacy apprentice, and then they took a mule cart and headed to Qiucheng.

What I want to mention here is that Qiucheng’s railway station is built outside the city, so it is not very far from Qiucheng, but it is still a few kilometers away.

Due to various reasons at the time, the GZ army did not demolish the original city wall, but simply found a place outside the city to build a station.

In addition, due to the special location here, a lot of civilian goods and military supplies need to be transported and transferred here, so the station here is built very large.

When Yao Huang and the apprentice arrived at the gate of Qiucheng, it was fortunately not the peak time for civilians to enter the city. In addition, the puppet soldiers guarding the city knew that they were from Yong'an Hall, so they did not make things too difficult for them.

They asked a few routine questions, checked my ID and let me go.

Yao Huang was sitting in a mule cart. Because it was dark inside the cart, those people did not see her face clearly, otherwise something would have happened.

After passing the checkpoint at the city gate without any danger, the apprentice Zhang Dahe finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, it's a good thing they didn't let you get off the car."

Even without Yao Huang saying anything, he naturally knew what the other party wanted to say, so he responded.

The mule cart was driving along Qiucheng and happened to pass by Wu Yong's butcher shop. Zhang Dahe stopped the cart and said to her, "Miss, please wait in the cart. I'll go buy some meat to bring back. Master said that he will buy meat to add to the dishes when he picks you up."

"How many butcher shops are there in Qiucheng?" Yao Huang, who should not have responded much, asked this question out of the blue.

"There is no such thing as a home, it's just this one!" Although Zhang Dahe didn't understand why the young lady asked this, he answered very straightforwardly.

Sitting in the carriage, Yao Huang had a smile in his eyes, but he restrained his expression before the other party saw him: "Let me go with you to have a look! Since it's bought for me to eat, I should choose it myself."

Of course Zhang Dahe would not object. This was his master's money, so naturally he could buy whatever his master's daughter wanted to eat!

Yao Huang got out of the car without waiting for his reply. She looked up at the sign with the words "Wu Ji" on it and felt a surge of excitement that she could hardly control.

Usually at times like this, she would habitually rub her bracelet, and this time was no exception.

After stroking his bracelet and taking a deep breath, Yao Huang walked into "Wu Ji".

Hearing the footsteps, the young man who was chopping bones did not look up, but asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to buy anything?"

Zhang Dahe was afraid that Zhou Jing would scare his young lady, so he quickly explained: "This is the boss's nephew, and now he is also a small boss. His voice is naturally like this, young lady, don't be afraid."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Yao Huang's clear voice rang out in the store, "It just looks scary, but he doesn't eat people."

It was originally a joke, which amused the apprentice Zhang Dahe, and Zhou Jing suddenly looked up at the person who came, with disbelief in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
