Tong Wenyao thought about it and felt that there was no harm in doing so, so she said, "Okay, then I'll recognize you as my master."

After Xing'er heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy for the young lady. Yan Zhi exclaimed in his heart, "Huh, Senior Brother, the apprentice I accepted is even more awesome than yours!"

He was also worried that Tong Wen Yao would go back on her word, so he went straight to the backyard and poured a cup of hot water, asking her to serve him tea. His eager look made Xing'er wonder if he had some conspiracy.

Because Xing'er's feet had to stay out of the ground as much as possible these days, Tong Wen Yao asked her to stay in the clinic first and returned to the inn. Zhao Xiucheng had already gone back, so when Xing'er heard Tong Wen Yao's arrangement, she obediently agreed.

In fact, Xing'er was thinking that if he didn't leave, then she didn't want to stay in the clinic. After he left, she felt much more at ease. After leaving the clinic, she glanced at the sky. It was already four o'clock in the morning on the street. She didn't expect that it would be so late.

When they returned to Fengkelai Inn, the door was already closed. Tong Wenyao knocked on the door. After a while, the waiter opened the door with sleepy eyes and asked, "Who is it? Are you here to stay?"

Seeing that it was a returning guest, he couldn't help but complain, "Why are you back so late?" Tong Wenyao handed him ten coins and whispered, "Sorry, use this money to buy some wine to warm yourself up." He took the ten coins and said in a much better tone, "Don't do it again!"

After returning to the room, Guaiguai quietly crawled to her side. Tong Wenyao patted its head and took it into the space. First, she took a shower, then went to the yard to weed. She had planted a pear tree in the southeast corner, and it was already blooming. Since the last time she picked the durian, it has only grown leaves. She guessed that it might have just finished a batch of fruits and would have to wait for a while before it bloomed and bore fruit.

After looking at the yard for a while, she returned to the villa to sort out the remaining supplies. At the beginning, the most common things were corn and potatoes, which could help her to resist hunger at that time. Tong Wen Yao wanted to promote the planting of these in the spring, otherwise there would be a war in two years and she would not be able to survive without food.

In an era when zombies are prevalent, meat is hard to get, so she actually has very little meat now. In addition, Xiaoxue and Guaiguai also need to eat it, so it is still too little. She will buy some more and store it in the space when the time comes. She no longer wants to go into the mountains to hunt wild game. There are always a lot of troubles every time she goes into the mountains.

Thinking about this, she felt very sleepy, so she left the space and planned to sleep. But just as she lay down, there was a knock on the door.

Tong Wenyao stood inside and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me. I thought you might be hungry since you came back so late, so I heated up some food and brought it to you." Tong Wen Yao recognized the voice of the waiter. She guessed that it was because of the ten cents she gave him, otherwise the waiter would not be so enthusiastic.

She quickly covered herself with a black cloak. When she came back, she hastily disguised herself as an old man, but now she had finished taking a shower, so she could only put on a cloak perfunctorily.

After opening the door, she brought the food over and said, "Thank you, brother, for thinking of me so late at night." The waiter scratched his head and smiled shyly, "You're welcome. You've given me a tip too. Go to bed quickly after you finish eating."

After closing the door, Tong Wen Yao brought the food heated up by the waiter and placed it on the table. There was one meat dish and one vegetable dish. The vegetable dish was dried bamboo shoots, and the meat dish was a small dish of stir-fried chicken with mushrooms.

Tong Wenyao tried it and made sure there was no drug or anything like that before she ate it with confidence. After eating and drinking her fill, Tong Wenyao went into the space to brush her teeth before coming out and lying on the bed.

She was tired after a day's work and her back hurt, but she couldn't reach behind her. So she took some painkillers, applied some to her back, and immediately covered herself with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, her body was covered with bruises. She frowned and endured the pain to finish her breakfast, then swallowed a painkiller before going out.

Tietou was already waiting at the door. When he saw Tong Wenyao coming out, he stepped forward and whispered, "Old man, yesterday you told them to keep an eye on the Ma family. They spotted Wu Datou coming out of the Ma family's corner gate this morning. When he came out, he was holding a bag of silver in his hand."

After hearing this, Tong Wen Yao took Tietou to a teahouse before breakfast and asked him to explain in detail what Wu Datou did and what he liked to do.

Tietou glanced at the snacks on the table, swallowed, and tried to look away.

Tong Wenyao noticed it and said slowly, "Eat some snacks to fill your stomach so you can have more energy to speak."

When Tietou heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. To be honest, he had been a guide for so many people, but this was the first time a guest had invited him to breakfast. He felt warm and comfortable in his heart.

He took the hibiscus cake, swallowed it in a few gulps, and then picked up a cup of tea. The faint scent of jasmine was refreshing. When he realized he was full, he realized he had already finished all the tea and snacks in front of him.

"Sorry, uncle, I've never had such delicious snacks before."

Tong Wen Yao waved her hand and said, "I asked the waiter to bring too little. I didn't expect that the pastries in their teahouses here are exquisite but small in quantity." She asked the waiter to bring another basket of dumplings, glutinous rice noodles and a bowl of lean meat porridge.

The snacks were served quickly, and soon the three kinds of snacks Tong Wenyao ordered were served. Tong Wenyao handed him the steamed dumplings and glutinous rice noodles and said, "You probably haven't eaten enough yet, so I ordered these two for you."

After hearing this, Tietou quickly waved his hands and said, "Old man, you eat, I'm full."

Tong Wenyao interrupted, "You are in the growth stage. Eating more will help you grow taller. I will just have porridge for breakfast."

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be lying, Tietou asked tentatively, "Then can I pack some for Tiechui and the others to try?"

Tong Wen Yao saw that his face was full of sincerity. Even when he had delicious food, he still did not forget his companions. It was a rare display of true affection.

She said directly, "Of course." After that, she asked the waiter to bring a few more dim sum, including chicken feet, crystal dumplings, etc.

When Tietou saw this, tears were about to fall from his eyes. The old man was so kind to them.

Tong Wenyao blew the hot porridge and listened to Tietou's words about Wu Datou.

"Wu Datou likes to go to gambling houses, and he also likes gold. I heard that because of a golden rabbit, he sold his daughter to a wealthy family in East City as a concubine!" Tong Wenyao pondered, a plan emerging in her mind. She curled her lips and said, "I have an idea."

We have to try to find out whether Wu Datou is the one who put the golden crab in Ma Dong's house.

Tietou continued, "Yesterday you asked me to find out about Ma Dong's imprisonment. I found out that he hasn't been convicted yet because he refused to plead guilty. But I heard from others that it might only take a day or two." He seemed to have thought of something, "Oh right, when Tiechui was guarding the Ma family's house last night, he discovered that the county magistrate's guards were also there."
