Chapter 17 Swapping Genders
Chu Zicheng shook his head and clapped.

"Qianshu, Qianshu, I really underestimated you. No wonder we met. It turns out that everything is destined by God."

Chu Zicheng felt indescribably excited, feeling that he had finally found a soulmate.

"Stop talking so much, go to Yangliu Town first, I don't believe there is no problem here."

Qian Shu raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, which looked like a ship.

The boat floated to Yangliu Town, and Qian Shu and Chu Zicheng also stood on the streets of this desolate town.

It wouldn't be called desolate, but it's just a little more deserted than the streets in the county.

Everything seemed to be normal on the street, except Qian Shu didn't see a child.

A stall selling cooking cakes, selling hairpins, buying clothes...

There are all kinds of stalls, and it looks like a very ordinary market, but it is precisely because of its weird ordinaryness that it makes people feel uneasy.

When Chu Zicheng caught a stall owner, he got straight to the point: "Old man, have any children disappeared in your town recently?"

The old man looked at them strangely and shook his head repeatedly.

"What's missing, what's the child, I don't know. We haven't had anything happen to Yangliu Town in 100 years, and we haven't lost any children."

Chu Zicheng raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

The old man just waved his hand: "Do you want to buy the buns? If not, don't disturb my business."

Chu Zicheng's eyes widened and he slapped his hand on the small wooden table.

"I advise you to tell me the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The old man was startled, then pushed the car and ran away without looking back.

"There's something wrong..."

Chu Zicheng raised his mouth together, the corners of his mouth turned downward, and his eyes were full of anger.

"What's your attitude? You can't even ask questions?"

Qian Shu glanced around and saw that other people were also moving away. She couldn't help but exhale.

"How could they tell you everything when we first come up? Now that we're fine, others won't believe us anymore."

"Then what should we do? We are here to catch monsters, not to solve crimes."

Chu Zicheng was very dissatisfied.

Suddenly, his wandering eyes stopped at a shop selling ready-made clothes.

A blood-red gown hanging inside attracted his attention, and the red gown burned in his eyes like a cluster of flames.

"I know how to blend in among them. Our clothes must be too special. Let's go buy two clothes."

"Where can I buy clothes..."

Before she finished asking, Chu Zicheng took her to the clothing store.

As soon as the two stepped into the store, the store owner was a middle-aged woman. She raised her eyelids and looked at them with a lukewarm look, and then swept her clothes with a feather duster.

"Two distinguished guests, what clothes do you want to buy?"

Chu Zicheng pointed to the most conspicuous red gown: "That's the one, bring it over and let me try it on."

The store owner looked at him and then at Qian Shu.

"Oh, you want to buy wedding clothes, right? Then let this girl try it."

Before Qian Shu could speak, Chu Zicheng lost his composure.

"Wait a minute, it's not what she's wearing. I want to wear this dress."

This dress is really gorgeous, with a scene of dancing dragons and phoenixes embroidered with golden silk thread. The sleeves are wide and there is a jingle ring on the collar.

Compared with their simple monk uniforms, they can be considered to be very colorful.

There was a very strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.

"But sir, ours is women's clothing. If you like men's clothing, I can bring it over and show it to you."

As the store owner spoke, he bent down and took out a set of red men's clothing from the cabinet, but the men's clothing was indeed much plainer than the women's clothing.Chu Zicheng didn't like it.

"It's just a piece of clothing, and it's divided into genders. I like the luxurious one. You can wear this Qianshu one."

Chu Zicheng picked up the red men's clothing and threw it to Qian Shu. The bright red color almost blinded her eyes.

Qian Shu doesn't like it either.

"If you want that wedding dress, take me with you. I can choose whatever dress you want."

Qian Shu pointed at the black uniform hanging on the wall. The diagonal neckline was embroidered with white bamboo, the waist was a dark belt, and the lower body was also a horse-faced skirt embroidered with clear white bamboo.

The store owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Girl, our clothes are men's clothes."

Qian Shu thought for a moment and copied Chu Zicheng's words.

“Clothes don’t differentiate between genders, so why bother consolidating them into dust?”

The shopkeeper was speechless, but as long as she made money, she couldn't care about anything else, so she had no choice but to praise without conscience.

"You two have really good eyesight. Why don't you go to the back room and give it a try?"

When the two of them got dressed and walked out, the shop owner's eyes really lit up.

"The two of you are really immortal, with dragon and phoenix postures, one is more beautiful than the other."

Qian Shu was dressed in black, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, but the plum blossoms on her temples remained untouched. She looked cold and noble, like the moon in the sky.

Chu Zicheng deliberately lowered his high ponytail, tied it casually, and paired it with a prosperous red dress, which gave him a unique style.

Chu Zicheng's eyes were on her plum blossoms: "Give me one of those little clips on your two strands of shrimp hair."

Qian Shu's mouth twitched slightly, and he folded his arms and refused flatly.

"No, and these are not shrimp hair, let alone a clip."

"Then how should I match my gorgeous clothes?"

Chu Zicheng almost pinched her waist and scolded her for having no conscience.

The store owner hurriedly said: "I have it here, I have it here, I also sell all kinds of jewelry, hairpins, hairpins, everything."

In the end, the store helped him arrange a hairstyle and fixed it with a tassel hairpin.

Chu Zicheng is very beautiful. Except for the very high eyebrow arch, he has no male appearance at all.

The store also thoughtfully placed a little bangs to cover his eyebrows.

Now Chu Zicheng couldn't see the appearance of the young man at all. He was completely a sweet girl, if he hadn't spoken.

"Look at you, you're already here, your clothes are either white or black, your hair is tied up as high as you can, and the two big shrimp whiskers in the front are not tucked in. You look neither male nor female."

"Yeah, you don't look androgynous, you look quite girly."

"you…"

"Okay, I'm not here to play with you. Shopkeeper, how much do these two sets of clothes cost? We bought them."

Qian Shu didn't give him a chance to refute and directly changed the subject.

"Oh, originally we didn't just buy wedding clothes, but I see that you sincerely want it, so I'll sell you my favor. These two sets of clothes cost a total of ten taels of silver."

Qian Shu didn't counter-offer and gave her 20 taels directly.

"No need to look for it. In addition to buying clothes, we also want to ask you something."

The shopkeeper counted the coins happily and said, "Ask me, I'm sure you'll tell me everything you know."

"I would like to ask, have any children disappeared in your town recently?"

The shopkeeper's face froze, and he actually put down the money directly.

"You two, please come back. I will pretend that you have never been to my shop."

 Thanks for the recommendation vote, little cutie ()
