Wufu truly couldn't believe she had actually spent most of the night sitting on the rooftop with that rascal Ah Jiu, braving the cold wind. Fortunately, they both had strong constitutions, and after descending, they consumed a specially prepared medicinal soup; otherwise, they would have certainly caught a cold.
Having learned that Ah Jiu had set the departure date for Changan on the fifth day of the month, Wufu once again inquired about the itinerary. With a clear idea in mind, she then spent two full days immersed in Li's Blacksmith Shop, working alongside Duan Rong and his wife.
On the evening of the fourth day, Wufu finally told Madam Zhou she needed to step out, as she was going far away and the date of her return was undetermined.
Madam Zhou's eyes widened, barely able to believe what she had heard, "You, you're going to Changan?"
