"I was just thinking about this. Thank you very much, Auntie."
"Hey, why thank me for such a small thing?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Yizhi said to Hui Niang, "By the time you go back, the city gates will probably be closed. You can stay here with me tonight."
Hui Niang hugged Qing Bao and gave her a kiss. "Auntie is going to stay and sleep with Qing Bao. Are you happy?"
However, Qing Bao broke free from her arms without giving her any face, ran to Shen Yizhi and hugged her legs.
Both of them burst into laughter.
"Hui Niang, I guess you didn't eat enough just now, did you? I'll go make something to eat, please wait for a moment."
Hui Niang had been helping in the kitchen before and did not eat at the table. Instead, she followed them in the kitchen and filled her stomach with a few bites.
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Yizi didn't make it too complicated. He simply made a few egg pancakes, rolled them with juicy lettuce and marinated meat, and served them out. He also made a pot of vegetable soup.
It's quite light, but the taste is amazing.
The three of them sat on the stone bench under the pomegranate tree, taking a bite of bread and a sip of soup, eating with relish.
"What a comfortable life this is!" After finishing her meal, Hui Niang stood up, stretched herself, and took Qing Bao for a walk in the yard to help digest the food.
Shen Yizhi took the dishes into the kitchen to wash them.
I had just finished washing and was wiping my hands when someone knocked on the gate.
Shen Yizi thought it was someone from another village, but when he opened the door, he saw a young man he didn't recognize. He had an ordinary face and a stern temperament.
"Who are you?"
"Excuse me, are you Doctor Shen Yizhizi?" the man asked.
"It's me." Shen Yizi still stood at the door and didn't invite him in.
"I am here on the orders of my master to give you a gift and congratulate you on your new home."
The man turned sideways, revealing the carriage behind him.
"Who is your son?"
"My son's surname is Gu."
Shen Yizhi immediately thought of Gu Xueting.
But how did he know that she had moved into a new home? Could it be that even though he was gone, he still had people watching his every move? She was right. Gu Xueting hurried back to Beijing, but because he couldn't let Qing Bao go, he left Qian Wu behind to protect them in secret and keep an eye on their situation.
After Shen Yizhi left the courtyard in the county town, Qian Wu immediately followed her and wrote a letter to report her situation to Gu Xueting.
Upon learning that she had moved into a new home, Gu Xueting naturally had to show his appreciation.
So, this scene happened.
The man who came to give gifts was Qian Wu.
After moving the things in, Qian Wu left quickly without even drinking a sip of tea.
Shen Yizhi looked at the pile of things in the room with mixed feelings.
Hui Niang walked over and glanced at those things. There was a hint of strangeness in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"These things look a little unusual."
The others were fine, but two of them were so rare that even she was tempted.
She picked up a brightly colored, soft blanket and stroked it gently. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Dust-Resting Mattress."
"Quechen Ru?" A small beast with a bright red body and the shape of a deer suddenly flashed through Shen Yizi's mind.
Unfortunately, this fragment flashed by so quickly that her memory was cut off before she could remember what it was.
"Outside the Tianyuan Empire, there are countless countries, large and small. Among them, there is a country called Gouli. There is a kind of beast in the country. Its fur is extremely bright, yet spotless and can always remain smooth. The mattress made of its fur also has this characteristic.
"But the Dust Beast rarely appears in front of humans and is difficult to capture, so its fur is extremely precious. It is difficult to buy even if you have money."
Hui Niang stroked the mattress tenderly, her eyes full of envy.
Shen Yizi was very calm about this. After all, she had seen a lot of strange things. It was just a mattress, not a flying carpet, so it was not enough to make her make a fuss.
Seeing her expression, Hui Niang raised her eyebrows slightly and picked up another one.
This is a tripod, of course, a small one, about 30 centimeters in height, about the same size as a rice cooker, smooth like jade, white and smooth like fat. Shen Yizhi thought it was just a decoration, but then he heard Hui Niang say, "Have you heard of the Chang Ran Ding?"
"Chang Ran Ding..." Shen Yizhi repeated softly, and a vague fragment flashed through her mind again. In the fragment, she was flipping through a book called "Strange Things", which contained all kinds of strange things.
Among them is this Chang Ran Ding.
On the page that was opened, there was a painting of the tripod in front of him.
But the content inside is like a fog and I can’t remember it clearly at all.
She shook her head.
Hui Niang thought she was shaking her head, so she gave her some scientific advice: "If you keep the cauldron burning, the food inside will cook naturally without lighting a fire, and the food will be very delicious. Eating it for a long time can make people look younger and prevent all diseases."
Shen Yizhi was a little surprised, because this was completely beyond her cognition. Could it be that this Chang Ran Ding was a magic weapon? Only a magic weapon could have such a strange effect.
"This is the Changran Ding." Hui Niang tapped the cauldron with her fingers, and a pleasant and clear sound rang out.
Looking at the tripod, there was a deep greed in her eyes, wanting to take it for herself! Originally, she thought that the Chang Ran Ding was just a magical object made up by those ignorant mortals, but after seeing it for real, she realized that the Chang Ran Ding was not exaggerated, and its wonders were far more than what people said.
Because with her knowledge and vision, she couldn't tell the grade of this tripod.
The patterns on the tripod may seem ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that you are deeply immersed in them and unable to see through the mystery. Your eyes and head may even ache.
Hui Niang quickly looked away, not daring to stare at him too closely.
Logically speaking, in this interface with thin spiritual energy, it is impossible for any powerful magical instruments to exist, but this Changran Ding might be a scattered divine instrument!
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but pound.
"Hui Niang, you really know a lot."
Shen Yizi had a strange feeling in his heart.
According to Hui Niang herself, they were just small businessmen, so how could they know all these things so well? Hui Niang was startled, realizing that she had lost her composure when she suddenly saw the treasure, and smiled, "I just like to read some supernatural stories, and I read all these from books. I'm sorry to embarrass you."
"No way, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know all this. Why don't I try it now and see if it's really that magical?" Shen Yizi picked up the Changran Ding.
