Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 217 You Can't Even Take a Bath?

Next, get ready to take a shower.

Of course, given the environment here, the bathing conditions are definitely not as good as modern ones.

Servants like them often boil a pot of hot water, sit by themselves, rub and wash their bodies, so that they are considered finished.

It must be very uncomfortable for modern people to take a bath like this.

But it's okay, because Wu Chen was treated with a high standard, and he was treated like a guest, so he was entitled to use a big wooden barrel to take a bath.

Although it is still far from being able to compare with modern conditions, it is still much better than the barren land, where there is even a lack of coopers.

"Next, you can wash it yourself, so you don't need me to serve you." The thin man poured hot water into the wooden bucket, put down some things for bathing, and was about to leave.

This man, everyone called him Pan Wulang, was said to be from a poor family and lacked money.

Where they are now is in Wu Chen's row of wing rooms, a room specially used for bathing.

"Wait a minute, Goro, don't leave yet." Wu Chen hurriedly stopped him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Pan Wulang looked back at Wu Chen.

"I'm just taking a shower. Why do you leave me the pliers and hammer? And what is this?"

Wu Chen's hand pointed at the things Pan Wulang put down.

The two towels were supposed to be used for wiping the body, and Wu Chen didn't quite understand the rest.

In addition to a hammer, a pliers, and a hard long plant, gray-black in color, slightly curved, it looks a bit like a pod that has been enlarged several times.

Wu Chen had no idea what these were for.

"Uh, you...can't take a bath?" Pan Wulang was stunned.

"No. How to use this?" Wu Chen said very bachelorly.

Pan Wulang pursed his lips, seemingly speechless.

He had no choice but to come over again, pick up the plant with one hand, and use the pliers with the other hand to unscrew a corner of the plant.

As the skin of this thing peeled off, some dry white fruits appeared inside. Pan Wulang hit it a few times with a hammer, smashing these fruits into particles.

After doing this, Pan Wulang took the smashed granules and came to Wu Chen's back, soaked some water, and rubbed these granules on his back, explaining while rubbing:
"This is saponin. The fruit inside is saponin, which can be decontaminated. I'm so surprised. You jumped out of the crevice of the rock. Don't you even know saponin?"

"It turns out that this is saponin. I have lost my memory before, and I have forgotten a lot of common sense." Wu Chen quickly used amnesia to cover it up.

He has only used soap and shower gel, so he doesn't know what saponins are.

Pan Wulang couldn't help laughing, obviously he didn't buy Wu Chen's amnesia practice.

"Goro, go and do your work, I'll just wash it myself." Wu Chen felt a little uncomfortable being rubbed on his back by a man.

It's almost the same if it's a young lady.

"It's okay, I'll rub your back for you. You're not very good at rubbing yourself." Pan Wulang said as if he discovered something while rubbing Wu Chen's back, "Your muscles are quite strong. ah?"

"Of course, if I don't have any skills, I wouldn't dare to eat the bowl of Nuyuan." Wu Chen chuckled.

"You'd better take it easy, the remaining 30 taels of silver are not easy to get. A few days ago, there were many foreign masters who were much better than you, but the result is not the same." Pan Wulang was a little pessimistic Wu Chen's appearance.

"I will be careful." Wu Chen didn't care, but asked again, "Goro, I want to ask you something, have you ever seen the ghost in this house with your own eyes?"

"No, the ghost only appears at night, and no one has ever seen it during the day. I'm just an ordinary servant, and I don't have to take on the duties of the nursing home. At night, no matter what happens outside, I just hang around In the quilt, I won’t go out even if I’m beaten to death, so I don’t care if it’s ghost or not, it won’t bother me.” Pan Wulang shook his head.

"Then since this house is very haunted, why didn't Yuanwai move out? As long as he moved out, wouldn't everything be fine?" Wu Chen asked.

"For such a big house, you can move it as soon as you want. Besides, Grandpa Yuan sent someone to ride a fast horse to the south, saying that he was going to invite an expert to come over. Maybe it will be there in two days. By then , once the expert arrives, the evil spirits in this house must be nothing!" Pan Wulang said.

"An expert? What an expert?" Wu Chen immediately asked with a surprised expression on his face.

"I also heard from others. I don't know who it is. In short, you'd better survive tonight. When the expert comes over, you can easily get the 30 taels of silver promised by Yuanwaiye . "Pan Wulang said.

Wu Chen suddenly became silent.

What 30 taels of silver is not in his eyes at all.

The reason why he came here was just to find an opportunity to complete the task.

If that expert with unknown background came over and solved the matter, what else would happen to him?
So he had better investigate this matter quickly.

Best to do it tonight.

See if it is a supernatural phenomenon, or a man-made prank?

"I'm leaving first, what's the matter, let's talk about it after you take a shower." At this time, Pan Wulang had already finished rubbing Wu Chen's back, and left.

Wu Chen was the only one left in this room.

Not to mention, soaking in this warm hot water is quite comfortable.

He hasn't enjoyed this kind of hot bath for a long time.

Wu Chen also learned to use saponins, just like soap, to rub all kinds of things on his body.

It's a pity that his hair fever is gone, and he can't rub his hair with saponins.

Next to it is a pot of hot water heated on the fire. You can pour some into it when the water in the wooden barrel is colder, so as to prolong the bathing time.

After soaking like this for about half an hour, Wu Chen ended his bath.

Old servant Yang has also sent a change of clothes.

Wu Chen tried it, and found that it was a set of clothes from inside to outside. Except for the inner jacket, the outer jacket was a gray gown with a right lapel, paired with black trousers. The fabric should be linen, and the workmanship was okay.

There is also a domed hat, which can cover Wu Chen's bald scalp when worn on his head.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Wu Chen looked completely new.

When he came to the lower room again, the people here stared at him with a little surprise.

"Wu Chen, I didn't expect that you would be unrecognizable just after taking a shower and changing clothes?" Pan Wulang clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Xiao Wu, how old are you this year? Are you married? Who else is there in the family?"

It was the two wives who were talking, and they were still ignoring Wu Chen before, but now they suddenly became a little enthusiastic, and what the hell kind of questions are they asking?

Wu Chen was truly speechless.
