Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 28 028 You Ye Nei Mu
Feng Xiuhu wasn't reluctant to wear the new clothes, but he really needed a bath.

It’s not his fault that he hasn’t taken a shower for so many days. It’s just that Feng Xiuhu has been thinking about something in his mind, so he saved this first shower until today.

"Would you like to go?"

At the curb, the driver looked up and asked him.

It’s still the same curb, and the same driver.

"Walk."

Feng Xiuhu jumped onto the cart, pulled a string of coins from Shunzi's pocket and threw it to the driver: "God's bath! Even Jesus couldn't stop me today! I'm telling you!"

Hearing this, the driver finally recognized Feng Xiuhu. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Feng Xiuhu: "Master, the squad leader is very generous."

Feng Xiuhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, when have I ever been ungenerous? Just pull your cart."

Shunzi also got in. He was still immersed in the huge profit he made from the tailor shop, and the money for a trailer was nothing to him.

"Okay—"

The driver shouted and raised the handle: "Sit tight, both of you!"

Just as they were about to set off, a figure suddenly ran over from a distance and waved at them: "Wait! Don't go!"

Feng Xiuhu didn't recognize the figure, but that didn't stop him from rushing: "Hurry up!"

The figure shouted again: "Squad Leader Feng, don't leave! Brother Walnut sent me here!"

Seeing the driver hesitate, Feng Xiuhu kicked him on the butt in a hurry: "I told you to go faster!"

The driver now understood what was going on, so he put his head down and worked hard, pulling the cart away in a flash.

Feng Xiuhu looked back from the car seat and saw that he could no longer catch up with the figure. He stood on the side of the road, supporting his knees and gasping for breath. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Xiuhu patted his chest and said, "I knew this magical bath wouldn't be that easy to take."

Shunzi suddenly came to his senses and realized that they were on their way to take a divine bath. His face immediately wrinkled: "Brother, I'll wait for you outside later."

This divine bath was hard to come by, but Shunzi still wanted to refuse. Feng Xiuhu was a little unhappy and said in a more serious tone: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't share my blessings? Just take a bath if I ask you to."

Shunzi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Feng Xiuhu started arguing with the driver again: "Are you speechless? We haven't finished talking about what happened last time."

The driver actually still remembered it and continued the previous conversation without stuttering at all.

"Speaking of the sexes of muntjac deer, there are significant differences between females and males. Firstly, males have large, curved antlers, while females have smaller, straighter antlers, more like bamboo shoot tips."

"Besides that, only the first person to touch a male deer's antler can smell its fragrance. Female deer antlers also recognize their owner, but the difference is that anyone within a few meters can smell it. The only requirement is that the female deer antlers must be worn close to the skin. If they're not in close contact with the skin, the fragrance disappears immediately."

"So doe antlers are usually made into bracelets, pendants and other accessories, and are most sought after by the ladies of noble families."

The driver turned around and winked at Feng Xiuhu. "It's said that this doe antler has a great effect—its fragrance can seduce men."

Feng Xiuhu sneered, "I don't believe it. I think it's just exaggerated. If it were really that powerful, male deer antlers would have been worthless long ago. Everyone would raise female deer instead. Why would they still raise male deer?"

Shunzi explained quietly, "They're different. Male deer antlers have higher age requirements and must be raised to over 20 years old before they can be harvested. Female deer antlers don't have to be raised to adulthood, so male deer antlers are much rarer than female deer antlers."

The driver disagreed: "What you said is only a small part of the reason."

"Don't underestimate the difference between male and female deer antlers, one for 'private enjoyment' and the other for 'shared enjoyment'. It's the 'private enjoyment' that nobles and gentlemen prefer. So the real reason male deer antlers are more valuable is that pipes made from them are a symbol of status." "In the early years, when the kingdom was at war with the Xianglu tribe, nobles slaughtered male deer antlers as a mark of merit, and then made them into pipes to carry with them. Later, this trend gradually became popular among the nobles. Think about it, if the price of male deer antlers dropped, what would the value of the pipes in the hands of nobles be? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the gentlemen!"

"So, the weight of this stag's antlers won't be low, and it can't be low."

Feng Xiuhu felt that what the driver said made sense, but there was one question he couldn't figure out - how could humans fight with animals?
What good person would have the same mentality as a beast? How could someone who has the same mentality as a beast be a good person?
Only beasts fight against beasts.

He wanted to discuss this issue with the driver again, but while he was thinking, the car had stopped.

The driver lowered the handlebars and said, "We've arrived. Please get off slowly. Be careful not to fall."

The driver was a talkative person, and Feng Xiuhu kicked him on the butt again.

When Feng Xiuhu got out of the car and took a look, his eyes were suddenly opened.

The wooden structure building in front of us is composed of multiple floors, which are stacked in an orderly manner. The roof tiles are of different shades of color and are covered with moss. It seems that it has been here for many years.

The huge gatehouse that comes into view is guarded by two vermilion pillars, which are decorated with exquisite wood carvings, mostly of wind, waves and flowing clouds, with bright colors, shining in the sun.

Feng Xiuhu raised his head and looked back. He could vaguely see water vapor rising and white mist floating into the sky.

There is a plaque hanging right above the gate tower with four big characters written on it.

You also represents inner wood.

Feng Xiuhu almost thought he was seeing things. He pointed at the plaque and asked Shunzi, "What kind of a name is that?"

Shunzi has been staring at his toes since getting off the car, not daring to glance through the door curtain.

"What are you talking about, sir!"

A delicate voice came.

Feng Xiuhu turned around and saw a woman in cool clothes lifting the door curtain, bringing out bursts of water vapor, waving a silk scarf and smiling at Feng Xiuhu.

She didn't look young, but she looked to be under forty. Although she was dressed lightly, she was not shy and walked over to Feng Xiuhu and put her arm around him.

She pointed to the top of her head. "That's not a bad name, it's a good one. There's a great hot spring in Upper Town called 'Wine Pool and Meat Forest,' but that's a place for the enjoyment of nobles. How dare we do the same? We were afraid of offending the nobles, so we split the character in half and called it 'You Ye Nei Mu.'"

Feng Xiuhu suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up: "What a good name!"

The woman covered her mouth with her hands and giggled: "I see that although the master is unfamiliar, he has a good eye for quality. As for the level of our family, not only in the upper city, but also in the whole of Fancheng."

She also gave a thumbs up.

Feng Xiuhu couldn't wait any longer: "Stop talking nonsense. I'll know the grade after I'm done washing. Take me in quickly."

As he said this, he started to take off his clothes, right on the street.

The woman quickly stopped him and glared at Feng Xiuhu: "My dear master, why are you so impatient?"

"You haven't told me what grade you want to wash!"

Feng Xiuhu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks - he didn't feel it before, but after being steamed by the water vapor, he realized that his body was indeed itchy.

"No matter what level it is, I'm here to take a divine bath!"

The woman's eyes lit up - the divine bath, that was the most luxurious item.
