Chapter 54 – The conflict may intensify (Part 2)
“A woman in love really has negative IQ. After all is said and done, you’re still thinking about him.” Chen Fangya also hated her unconcerned attitude of not seeking revenge.
“I’m really all right. I was just a little embarrassed at that time. Didn’t I tell you secretly that when I was in San Qing Temple, my master would punish me by protracted kneeling that could go as long as two days and two nights? What’s a little military station in comparison?”
“Can you really? I wonder who was it that actually fainted in the end?” Chen Fangya really felt that Lin Mumu was helpless.
Although Lin Mumu fainted, it wasn’t actually caused by the misfortune that came over her. It was mainly because when her period came, her body was suddenly emptied of an important quantity of blood and suffered momentary blood deficiency, which was more exaggerated as usual since it was stimulated by the scorching sun and not taking any meal, water or break in a long time.
At the moment, she was drinking a bowl of brown sugar mixed in warm water that Yun Ting left her before leaving, along several bags of jujube snacks to eat. (TN: jujube are red dates, and there are well-known for being beneficial to replenish blood during menstruation. Brown sugar water is also a drink Chinese woman drink to relieve period cramps.)
The person was already feeling much better. After all, she was still young, and her physical foundation was also pretty good.
In the end, Chen Fangya was also unable to resist her curiosity, and she was also unable to change Lin Mumu’s mind nor persuade her to obediently stay put, so they both decided to go over together to take a look at the bustling scene. (TN: There’s also a meaning of taking part in the excitement/watching the show, here.)
“What do we do about the guard at the door?” Chen Fangya asked.
“I’ll find a way. You just need to follow my lead.”
Sure enough, the moment they stepped out of the tent, someone blocked their way.
Lin Mumu bluntly said: “We’re going to the toilet.”
“Sister-in-law, I’ll escort you there.” Of the two guards, Lin Mumu recognized Xiao Du who was the exact same guard that had accompanied Yun Ting to pick her up from the mountain before.
Lin Mumu cooperatively nodded.
“Sister-in-law, are you all right?” Xiao Du was really concerned about Lin Mumu.
“I’m alright.” Lin Mumu didn’t go around the curves and skirt the corners with Xiao Du, she straightforwardly told him: “I’m going to look for Yun Ting. If you really recognize me as your sister-in-law, you’ll immediately take me there. Otherwise, you’ll knock me out, and when I wake up, I’ll complain to Yun Ting and tell him you bullied me.” (TN: idiom meaning beating around the bush.)
“I will testify!” Chen Fangya cooperatively raised her hand.
