Wang Yan didn't show any particular surprise at the brightly colored box Qin Qing took out, but when he saw Qin Qing's amazing operation, even though he was prepared, he couldn't help but show his surprise.
After Qin Qing put the still-cold water in, he closed the box. In less than five seconds, the sound of boiling water came from inside, and white smoke shot out from the small hole in the middle, indicating that the temperature was very high!
Seeing Wang Yan's slightly surprised look, Qin Qing felt bored. Since she had known Wang Yan, she had never seen him look particularly surprised.
Ten minutes later, the self-heating hot pot was finally ready. Qin Qing served rice to Wang Yan, and the two of them began to eat.
The scalding hot and spicy sensation quickly filled his mouth, but fortunately he ate very politely and didn't burn his mouth. The novel taste of the food was surprisingly delicious, somewhat like meatballs, but even chewier...
Qin Qing was disappointed again; Wang Yan still showed no shock whatsoever…
The days passed by in such a boring yet heartwarming way!
Qin Qing and her companion boarded the carriage again. As they were about to leave, Qin Qing went to the steamed bun shop once more. When she arrived, she found that the shop was closed. She asked a neighbor and learned that the owner seemed to be unwell that day, which was why it was closed.
Qin Qing was naturally a little disappointed that she couldn't get the steamed buns she wanted. Seeing this, Wang Yan looked up at the closed shop and said calmly.
Do you know where the boss lives?
He was asking the question to the neighbor next to him. His serious and cold face startled the woman, who turned pale with fright. Qin Qing quickly waved his hand when he saw this.
"Please don't mind him, that's just how he is. He had a high fever when he was little and it damaged his brain, so... his face looks like this! The doctor said there's nothing they can do."
The neighbor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but still took a step back, looking rather disgruntled.
“Go straight down this street and there’s an alley. Turn into it and you’ll see a big house. Next to it, in the bamboo grove, there’s a wooden cabin. That’s where his house is.”
Wang Yan nodded.
Thank you!
Then he pulled Qin Qing into the carriage!
Upon seeing this, the neighbor woman muttered, "Such a strange disease? I've never seen anything like it before!"
After Qin Qing got into the carriage, she glanced at Wang Yan cautiously and hesitated.
"You...you're not angry, are you? I didn't mean to say that, but you look really scary when you're serious! They're just ordinary civilians, not your soldiers!"
Wang Yan was silent for three seconds, then nodded.
"Um…"
Qin Qing couldn't tell whether he had listened or not, but anyway, she had already said that if he did it again, she would use the same excuse... Hehe! His brain was fried!
Seventeen or eighteen minutes later, the two quickly arrived at the location of the steamed bun shop owner. Since there seemed to be very few people living nearby, it was not difficult to find.
Surprisingly, the cabin was huge! It even seemed to have a backyard…
As soon as Qin Qing arrived at the door, she heard the sound of chopping. Because her hearing was quite sensitive, she was startled!
Wang Yan, being a martial artist, also possessed exceptional hearing, though he couldn't hear as clearly as Qin Qing.
"They must be chopping meat... Let's go in and take a look."
What he didn't say was that the sound was more like chopping bones. After all, meat is usually soft and the sound wouldn't be that loud, but bones are different. However, he didn't want his guess to frighten Qin Qing, so he went into the wooden house without saying hello.
The house was surprisingly clean, not at all like the house of an old man living alone. As they got closer, the noise grew louder. At that moment, a dog lying around the corner spotted them, immediately bared its teeth, and let out a threatening growl, but did not bark loudly.
Then, Wang Yan gave him a look, and a chilling killing intent that could truly slaughter countless lives swept over him. Gouzi was startled and then quickly scurried back to his doghouse!
Qin Qing: "..."
What a terrifying man! He can scare a dog so badly it wets itself and cowers in its kennel, trembling with fear, without uttering a sound...
Then, a strong smell of blood hit her nose. Qin Qing didn't have time to think about how terrifying Wang Yan's eyes were, and subconsciously covered her nose.
Wang Yan noticed her movements, but he himself couldn't smell anything. His eyes flickered slightly! The Qin family has so many secrets.
As the two walked into the backyard, Wang Yan also smelled that familiar, pungent smell of blood. Looking up, he saw the thin old man he had seen a few days ago holding a sharp kitchen knife, chopping the meat with bones on the table again and again!
Even as blood dripped down with each stroke, he paid no heed and continued hacking away...
The two only saw his back and didn't see the old man's expression! However, Qin Qing, with her sharp eyes, spotted a long, bloody finger on the ground and froze on the spot.
Then something occurred to her, and her face turned deathly pale. Her stomach began to churn, and she felt incredibly nauseous! In the end, she couldn't control herself and vomited on the spot.
Wang Yan stood beside her, watching the scene with a heavy gaze, his hands clenching involuntarily, his face instantly turning extremely grim...
The commotion behind him seemed to have caught the old man's attention. He turned around abruptly, the cleaver in his hand still dripping blood, and stared blankly at Qin Qing and the other man.
"How...how did you get in?"
Qin Qing felt a wave of dizziness and stood weakly to the side, his face pale. Wang Yan, seeing that he showed no sign of panic, asked with a livid face.
"The door wasn't closed..."
Qin Qing was speechless. How could he possibly respond to that perverted old man's words at a time as disgusting as this!
The old man seemed to just realize something, and then looked on with a look of sudden understanding before speaking in surprise.
"What business do you have with me? I'm closed for the day."
As he spoke, he slowly removed his blood-stained clothes, revealing the pile of minced meat on the table to the two of them, and said with a smile.
“You young people must be afraid of blood, right? I’m preparing the filling for the buns, and the scene of chopping pork is inevitably a bit…hehe. You guys go inside and sit down first, I’ll be done soon.”
His expression and movements made it seem as if the pork on the table really was real!
Seeing this, Wang Yan straightened his expression and looked at the old man with a serious expression...
"Is this pork?"
Although it was a question, he had killed countless people and was more sensitive to the smell of human blood. This muttony smell was different from the smell of other animals' meat, but normal people generally couldn't smell it.
Clearly, he didn't have Qin Qing's eyesight and didn't see the finger stuck in the gap under the table, but his amazing habits made him notice the anomaly.
The old man stiffened upon hearing this, but the stiffness vanished in an instant, as if he had heard a joke.
"Young master, what kind of joke is this? What else could it be but pork? I've been selling pork for over ten years, and I would never adulterate it. Don't worry!"
