Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 979: Who is buying the medicine?

However, at this time, both of them still treasured the hard-earned identities they had acquired. In this day and age without GPS, it was not easy for them to find Yuwen Luan Fei in the vast expanse of Biluo City.

Moreover, these two would surely use every means to conceal themselves, making the task of finding them all the more difficult.

On their first day in Biluo, as a couple bearing grudges, they scoured Biluo City from top to bottom, pondering where Yuwen Luan Fei might most likely hide. They concluded that the most probable places were the Slum Area, Lower Right District, or possibly the Civilian District, Lower Left District, where they were currently residing.

The two planned to search each household one by one come nighttime.

After agreeing on tonight’s plan, they took out steamed buns from their basket and began to nibble slowly.

It couldn’t be helped—the food the Fox made was too fragrant. As soon as he started cooking, the smell would surely attract the snooping of neighbors.

Given the looks of Scholar Feng and Fei Hua, they didn’t seem capable of making delicious food. Should they arouse the neighbors’ suspicions, it wouldn’t end well. Thus, the two of them were doomed to subsist on dry food for the next few days. Of course, if they really craved a proper meal, they could only do so in their private Space.

As Bai Junjun nibbled on the steamed bun, she muttered to the Fox, "Do you think that young woman could be Wenren Pingting?"

"Wenren Pingting should be at the Imperial Capital right now. Maybe she’s one of Yuwen Luan Fei’s maids or something," replied Li Wenli with certainty. After all, which man would bring his wife to war?

Cough, of course, he was an exception; he had to cling to the young mistress’s coattails.

However, not everyone is fortunate enough to be supported by their wife, at least not Yuwen Luan Fei or any man from ancient times.

After all, in ancient times, a woman being unlearned was considered a virtue; it was the men who sealed their own fates.

Still, even though that’s the way it is, the Fox found it somewhat strange. How did the young mistress immediately conclude that someone buying medicine had something to do with Yuwen Luan Fei?

Glancing back at him, Bai Junjun said, "Who else but us would appreciate Big Beard? I’m afraid we’re among the few customers Big Beard has. Furthermore, setting that aside, with traditional medicine prevalent in the Central Plains, who would buy medicine from a foreigner without fearing for their life? It must be someone desperate and unable to seek medical help who would turn to Big Beard. And who could that person most likely be but Yuwen Luan Fei?"

Li Wenli smirked, touched the young mistress’s head with admiration in his eyes.

Bai Junjun gave him a glare: "Do you take me for a Fool?"

Li Wenli smiled radiantly but did not respond.

Soon after, the neighbors, who were having their meal, heard Scholar Feng wailing again: "My lady, spare me, I dare not do it again."

The neighbors had grown accustomed to it; it would be strange if the couple didn’t argue or fight.

But not long after, they heard Scholar Feng’s hearty laughter.

The neighbors were taken aback. Could it be that Scholar Feng was beaten senseless?

Of course, despite their confusion, they wouldn’t interfere. After all, they weren’t the ones being beaten, so there was no need for them to worry needlessly.

At nine o’clock in the evening, the beat of the curfew drum signaled that the curfew was about to start. Civilians were no longer allowed to loiter on the streets, and anyone caught doing so would be treated as an assassin.

The common people, to save on lamp oil, had mostly gone to bed early.

Soon, the two heard the neighbors, one by one, house by house, turning off lights and going to sleep, with sounds of soothing children to sleep, snoring, whispering sweet nothings, and even engaging in marital relations—all sorts of noises drilled into their ears.

They could handle the former, but upon hearing the latter embarrassing and heart-pounding noises, the two exchanged an awkward look, silently turned off the light, and retreated back into their Space.

Having heightened senses wasn’t their fault, but sometimes it was indeed a curse to be too sensitive.
