Although Yan Hui came two days earlier this time, although she had some other purpose, she was still a little surprised when she saw the dishes served. The man who nodded and bowed beside her was called Hei San, with a violent temper. Seeing Yan Hui staring at the dishes, she was stunnedFor a moment, he immediately asked, "But this dish is not to your liking?"

After finishing speaking, he shouted to the side: "Who made this thing today! Don't let me take it down!"

Yan Hui's originally better mood was disturbed by this man, and she frowned and let out a "tsk".

"When did I say I didn't like it?" He raised his eyes, the redness at the corners of his eyes was particularly obvious under the candlelight, "Are you trying to figure out my mind?"

Although his voice was very soft and his tone wasn't too severe, the danger signal in those eyes made Hei San unconsciously take a step back, restrained his voice, lowered his eyes and said respectfully:"Yes, I was abrupt."

Yan Hui held up a white and lovely rabbit pastry with one hand, and suddenly smiled, the other hand gently brushed her lips, twisting a strand of hair in front of her.

"It's really a little rabbit."

In the kitchen, since there were many people coming and going to serve the dishes, Su Mu was pushed into a corner by Liu Xiaoran. He was bored listening to the bustling sounds and smelling the scents in the air.

Just now Liu Xiaoran asked him if he wanted to eat something to fill his stomach, but in order not to leave any clues, he ate some of the leftover pastries without touching any fresh ingredients.It started to make some slight noises again, but fortunately, the outside noises were very loud, and they were completely covered up, so no one could detect the clues.

But tired, hungry and bored, Su Mu huddled in a corner and fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was Liu Xiaoran who was carefully patting his shoulder.

"It's over, don't fall asleep here."

Su Mu nodded blankly. Now his brain is still in the blank period of just waking up, so he just feels that he should stand up in a daze, but he forgets that he has been huddled in the corner for too long, and his legs have longIt seemed as if it wasn't his own anymore, so he stood up straight with great difficulty, but he didn't stand still at all, staggered forward and fell over.

As soon as Liu Xiaoran reached out to pick it up, he was thrown straight at him. Even though he reacted very quickly, he could barely stabilize his figure by leaning against the wall at the side.

On the other hand, Su Mu buried his entire face in Liu Xiaoran's shoulder, and smelled the pungent smell of herbs mixed with the remaining smoke and fire on the other party's body, and he woke up completely.

He really wanted to stand firm and apologize to others immediately, but his legs had evolved from being not his own state to a second state of soreness and numbness when he moved, so he failed.

He could only barely support the wall with his hands to move himself away, then lowered his head and hastily apologized: "Sorry, sorry, my... leg is a little numb..."

The voice became smaller as it went to the back, and even he himself felt a little too embarrassed to say it.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Xiaoran just coughed lightly, and said lightly, "It's nothing."

As soon as Su Mu raised his eyes, he just saw Liu Xiaoran move his eyes away unnaturally. Just as he was about to continue talking, he found that he was still holding the other party's arm tightly with one hand. He felt even more sorry and flusteredThe strength I used in between is not small.

He quickly let go, and apologized again and again, but before the wave of apology was over, Liu Xiaoran suddenly covered his mouth with her hand, and then two shaky figures passed by the door, as if they were already drunkDrunk people, who have no interest in the house, stumble away.

When the voice could not be heard at all, Su Mu blinked and looked at Liu Xiaoran. The latter's eyes gradually relaxed from guard, and when they looked sideways, their eyes collided unexpectedly.

Liu Xiaoran withdrew her hand as if she had been scalded, and once again avoided her eyes hastily.

Although Su Mu always felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere here always seemed to have a different flavor, he still couldn't figure out why.

He suddenly wanted to tear off the bandage on Liu Xiaoran's face and take a closer look at this face.

At this time, his legs finally regained consciousness, so Su Mu stomped his feet lightly, stood still and opened the distance between the two of them, and then he felt that his breathing was a little easier.

"It's all over outside? Have all the girls gone back?" Su Mu shook his wrist and turned his sore joints.

Liu Xiaoran nodded, at this moment he felt his palms were burning hot.

"Didn't Yan Hui find anything abnormal?" Su Mu asked, although Liu Xiaoran seemed to be safe and sound now, it would be more reassuring to ask.

Liu Xiaoran was startled when she heard the words, and then replied: "I don't know yet, but no one has come to find her yet, so I think there should be nothing wrong tonight."

Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and just about to ask something more, Liu Xiaoran brought out a plate of pastries with different shapes as if by magic.

"Some dishes have a strong fishy smell after being left for a long time, and pastries are the easiest to store, so keep some warm in the pot." He handed the plate in front of Su Mu, and the aroma of pastries rushed over his face, making Su Mu feel hungryIt seems to be magnified hundreds of times.

Seeing that Su Mu didn't move, Liu Xiaoran thought that he still cared about being found out and hurting herself, and explained: "These are extra pasta, don't worry."

After waiting for a long time, Su Mu responded in a low voice.

"Thank you, Liu Shaoqing."

Maybe he was really hungry. When Su Mu saw the pastries, he was so moved that he was about to cry. He finally maintained his image.He disarmed and surrendered.

"The pastries made by Liu Shaoqing are even more delicious than the most famous Xing'an Ji in Capital City." He commented contentedly, and picked up the second one with a lot of interest.

Liu Xiaoran watched patiently from the side, but when she heard this she shook her head helplessly: "How can you compare with them."

After Su Mu finished eating, he became serious again, and looked at Liu Xiaoran: "So shall we explore this village at night?"

Liu Xiaoran was taken aback for a moment, showing some doubts: "Exploring the cottage at night?"

Su Mu nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Shouldn't we find out the details of this cottage while they are all asleep?"

After saying the words, Su Mu tasted it himself.

As for the details of this village, Liu Xiaoran has been staying for so long, how could she still not figure it out?

He quickly changed the way of saying: "Or go find out where Yan Hui lives, maybe they will have some confidential conversations, night is the best time to talk about shady things."

Seeing Liu Xiaoran frowned, Su Mu thought he was in some embarrassment, and when he wanted to say a few words of comfort, Liu Xiaoran said, "There is a gap facing the mountain to the north, and I will cover it when they switch defenses."get out."

It took Su Mu a while to realize that Liu Xiaoran wanted to send himself out. After a moment of blank mind, he blurted out subconsciously: "What about you?"

Liu Xiaoran paused, then calmly replied: "I still want to stay here and find out Yan Hui's background."

"Then why do I have to go?"

Su Mu knew that it was difficult for her to walk here, but she was still worried that Liu Xiaoran was here alone.

According to past experience, Liu Xiaoran's "Nothing" is not credible, so it can be inferred that "No serious problem" must not be credible, from the strong herbal smell on his body and the small piece of palenessLooking at the skin, Su Mu has enough reasons to suspect that Liu Xiaoran's injury is not only not fully healed, but may still be serious.

Liu Xiaoran is not an ordinary person, and this place is no different than other places. If he is the only one staying here, then if someone finds out, it will be a real sheep.

Su Mu tried to reason: "Look, if you stay here alone, if something unexpected happens, you won't have time to deal with it, but if I'm still here, if something happens, you can bring newsIt can help you hold others back, it’s still very useful, right—”

Liu Xiaoran frowned even deeper.

Su Mu was still trying to persuade Liu Xiaoran with various reasons, but the latter interrupted him suddenly.

"These things have nothing to do with you, so no matter what, I will let you leave here safe and sound." Liu Xiaoran's tone was a little hasty, and she really wanted to engrave these words into Su Mu's mind, "Even if you reallyWhatever happens to you, remember to protect yourself."

It was the first time Su Mu encountered Liu Xiaoran's tone, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he simply picked a point that he thought was the key point: "After thatso Liu Shaoqing, you don't plan to send me away, right? IBut if you agree to someone else, it doesn’t mean you have nothing to do with it. People are valuable in keeping their word, so I have a duty to find out the truth here.”

Seeing that he didn't seem to take her words to heart at all, and was determined to stay, Liu Xiaoran only felt a little headache.

But Su Mu's heart seems to be like this, no matter how many times he said these things had nothing to do with him, he would stand up for others without hesitation.

But maybe this is the person I know.

He sighed, his injuries are indeed not fully recovered now, and he is not fully sure that he can send Su Mu away safely, so he can only follow Su Mu, repeating his own words weakly: "You need to be careful in everything."

After getting Su Mu's very sincere assurance, Liu Xiaoran could only accept this reality.

His wound was already showing signs of improvement, but today it tended to open again, and now he felt a bit unbearable pain when he moved his right shoulder after he relaxed.

After Liu Xiaoran directly rejected her idea of exploring the cottage at night on the grounds that "Yan Hui had already rested", Su Mu was sitting on the haystack thinking about how he would not fall into a stiff neck for a while, and he saw Liu Xiaoran at a glancePressing on his shoulder, he understood what was going on without much thought.

"Liu Shaoqing, isn't your wound uncomfortable?" He stood up, and seeing Liu Xiaoran put down his hand quickly, he knew that this person was going to deny it again, so he said helplessly before the person opened his mouth, "I seeArrived."

Why did Yan Hui come here?
