Chapter 138 Eat melon? Eat melon!
When the Fourth Master got on the carriage, he saw the masked Wenjiu and couldn't help laughing again: "What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her head and started banging her head against the wall. The Fourth Master reached out to block her, feeling both amused and helpless.
"I was just teasing you. It's my fault. I won't say any more."
As he spoke, he took her into his arms. He did not lift the veil from her head, but just held her in his arms.
Wenjiu was held by him and struggled to get out. After pulling a few times without success, he gave up and just slumped there like a dead fish.
Forget it, I’ve already lost face, so let it be whatever it wants.
No one knew what was wrong with the Fourth Master today. He would grab her hand and squeeze it, then pinch her face, making her unable to sleep well even with the warm wine.
Isn’t the Fourth Master himself also surprised?
After realizing what he had done, the Fourth Master's face froze.
I don't know why, but I inexplicably felt that she was soft, fragrant, smooth, and very nice to squeeze.
Facing Wenjiu's accusing eyes, the Fourth Master finally removed his hand from her and cleared his throat: "If you're sleepy, take a nap first. I'm afraid we'll have to rest in the carriage later."
Wen Jiu listened to his serious words, exhaled lightly, and asked: "Are we almost in Jinyang?"
The Fourth Master couldn't help but pinch her face again. "It'll take at least another eight or nine days of walking, but the closer we get to Jinyang, the fewer post stations there are. I'm afraid we won't be able to rest properly."
"Oh." Things definitely wouldn't be so peaceful in Jinyang. In her memory fragments, she even saw the Fourth Master not eating or drinking. She shuddered and suddenly sat up: "Master, let's eat some watermelon." She had been craving this watermelon for a long time, but she hadn't even eaten it yet!
Fourth Master: "Eating melon?"
Wenjiu nodded: "Yes, eat melon." If you don't eat it now, you will never have a peaceful life in the future!
"Did you really bring this from the capital?"
Not long after, the Fourth Master looked at the watermelon in front of him, which was almost as big as his table, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Wen Jiu nodded seriously: "Yes, I brought it from the capital."
The Fourth Master glanced under the seat of his carriage again and asked, "Is it placed here?"
Wen Jiu continued to nod seriously: "Yes."
Fourth Master: "...Wen Jiu, do you think I'm a fool?" There's only so much space under the seat. If there was a melon there, he wouldn't notice it? And he kept taking them out from under there?
Wenjiu: "Yes...uh, no."
Fourth Master: "...Tell the truth, where did this watermelon come from?"
Wenjiu: "...Master, do you believe that I can still make this melon disappear? If you ask again, you won't be able to eat it in the future." Wenjiu said seriously.
"Ahhh, Master, how could you take out the melon at this hour? You know that the cheat code should be hidden? Why does your IQ drop when you see something edible?"
Wenjiu couldn't help rolling his eyes. He couldn't eat it even if he hid it! Wenjiu was confident that he knew the Fourth Master well. There shouldn't be any problem with taking a watermelon.
The Fourth Master suddenly looked at Wen Jiu carefully and said, "Are you some kind of demon?"
Warming the wine: "..."
"What kind of a goblin do I look to you?"
Fourth Master: "...vixen."
Wenjiu couldn't help rolling her eyes. Since the watermelon had been taken out anyway, she took out a kitchen knife from the space and cut the watermelon in no time.
He took half of it, took a bite, and squinted his eyes while eating.
Seeing that the Fourth Master was still staring at her blankly, she immediately took half of it and stuffed it into his hand.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "If you don't finish eating what the vixen gives you, I will eat it."
As he said this, he licked his lips.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and slammed his head on Wen Jiu's.
Wenjiu covered his head in pain and gasped: "Why are you hitting me?"
The Fourth Master said seriously, "I'm not beating anyone, I'm exorcising a demon."
As he said this, he took a bite of the watermelon and couldn't help nodding: "It's so sweet."
Wen Jiu: "...I remember that I couldn't bear to eat it before."
Fourth Master: "That was before. Now I have a fairy by my side. She can surely produce whatever I want to eat, right?" Fourth Master looked at Wen Jiu with a forced smile.
Wenjiu swallowed nervously. The Fourth Master looked normal, but she felt as if something was out of her control.
However, the Fourth Master did not continue to ask about warming the wine.
For several days, the two of them were in the same carriage, eating together and reading together.
The Fourth Master acted as if nothing had happened, as if his curiosity had run out, and he really didn't care how Wenjiu had made the watermelon.
Wen Jiu's heart was inexplicably raised. The night before entering Jinyang City, they were camped outside the city. Wen Jiu finally couldn't help asking, "Master, are you really not curious about how I made the watermelon appear?"
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that you brought it from the capital?"
Wenjiu curled his lips and asked, "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? If he really believed it, would he have such an expression?"
"Okay." The Fourth Master patted Wenjiu's head and said, "Everyone has secrets. If you don't tell me, I won't force you."
Don’t you have any secrets?
If not, where did all those treasures in the warehouse come from?
The Fourth Master pinched Wenjiu's face, and seeing her frowning tightly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows happily: "Come on, I'll take you to Jinyang City for a tour today."
Wen Jiu was surprised: "Now?" It was already dark. From a distance, the moonlight was bright and the sky was full of stars. It didn't seem like a good time to go out.
The Fourth Master nodded: "Yes, let's go."
…
An hour later, at the gate of Jinyang city.
"Master, are we really going to get in?" Wenjiu pulled at the collar of the Fourth Master's shirt and swallowed nervously.
This city gate must be at least ten meters high, right? Falling from it would be fatal! She only had a little over a hundred days left to live, so she didn't want to try such a dangerous and exciting activity with him.
The Fourth Master's face was expressionless. Unbeknownst to him, a rope flew out from his sleeve and quickly caught the top of the wall. He tugged at it with his hands, then turned back to Wen Jiu and said, "Close your eyes."
Wen Jiu only felt a gust of wind whistling past his ears, and when he opened his eyes, his feet were already on the ground.
She turned back to look at the city wall: "We really came here."
The Fourth Master knocked her head, feeling both amused and helpless: "Do you think I'm a good-for-nothing?" He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so if she didn't have this little skill, then all his efforts would be in vain.
A gust of wind blew, and Wen Jiu subconsciously shrank his neck: "Master, why is it so gloomy in the city? It's already dark now, why is there not even a single house with a light on?"
"I knew it wasn't a simple matter." The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "Do you notice any difference between the city and the outside?"
Wen Jiu tilted his head to think for a moment, then suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Yes, it's snow! How come there's no one in this city to clear the snow?"
The city wall is already high, and when it snows, the north wind howls, and the snow will definitely pile up heavily.
The snow piled up outside the city had clearly been cleared, especially near the main gate.
They walked along the edge and climbed in, but found that no one in every household had cleaned the snow, and it was like a deserted city.
Outside the city.
"Brother Jiu, I'm right, look, they're sneaking out again."
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes: "You mean, the two of them are researching new food."
Master Shi nodded: "Maybe they sneaked into the city to eat!"
Jiu Ye: "...Why did you come to Jinyang City to eat? What's in your head?" Jiu Ye regretted it so much that he turned green. He came out because he heard that there was food, but who knew that he was deceived and came here!
Shi Ye: "But, I really saw them eating at night, and the food tasted so refreshing, like... watermelon. Yes, it tasted like watermelon."
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes: "At this time of year, why don't you show me a watermelon!"
