Chapter 34 Great Immortal, Don't Eat Me
When the two returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark.
Dinner was cooked by Daya, but Ye Wan only ate a little bit; she really couldn't get used to the taste.
It's really hard to go from luxury to simplicity. Just think about the day she first arrived, she even drank wild vegetable porridge. And now, after such a short time, she can't even eat noodles.
Daya said with some guilt, "Mom, I will learn properly next time you cook."
The same thing, but the way she made it tasted completely different from how Ye Wan made it.
I understand. In the past, when people often didn't have enough to eat, they wouldn't care about the taste. Adding a little salt was considered good enough.
"Then I'll teach you next time." Ye Wan felt no guilt whatsoever about using child labor. Once she taught her, she wouldn't have to do it anymore. It was just that calling her "mother" that made her feel out of place.
After finishing his meal, Lin Anyuan went out again.
Ye Wan felt something was strange, so she quietly got up and followed him out of the courtyard. She saw that slender figure walking up the mountain.
Going up the mountain so late at night, there must be something wrong with me.
Ye Wan wasn't in the mood to go into the mountains, so she watered the vegetable garden and then went to sleep.
The vegetables she planted already had three or four leaves and would be ready to eat soon. Unfortunately, she couldn't buy many beans in the village, so she couldn't grow bean sprouts and could only grow some in her space.
After eating the peaches, Ye Wan took a bath in her spatial dimension and went to sleep soundly.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
"ah--"
Suddenly a scream rang out, and Chu Jiu and Chu Qi rushed over.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Jiu, it looks like someone just floated by." Wang Dachui said tremblingly.
The boss calls him Big Hammer, so he simply changed his name; as long as the boss likes it, that's fine.
Chu Jiu felt a chill. "Don't call me Xiao Jiu. A grown man like you, how disgusting!"
"There's no one in the mountains at night, am I seeing a ghost?" Chu Qi glanced at the direction Wang Dachui was pointing.
The darkness was quiet, save for the occasional chirping of insects.
"Did I see wrong?"
Wang Dachui clearly saw someone just now, and as he spoke, he walked forward, but there was no one there.
"I was really mistaken. Let's keep going."
Turning around, Da Chui suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if something was watching him. But when he turned back, there was nothing there. He couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his arms.
"Are you sure this is the spot where you fainted last time?"
Chu Jiu asked for the third time by the stream.
“This is it, I remember correctly.” Big Hammer confirmed again and again.
Chu Jiu spoke up, "It's really strange. According to Chu Shi, you were so badly injured that you shouldn't have woken up. How did you wake up? Could it be that some kind of demon saved you?"
"You know I'm physically strong, so it's normal for me to wake up. Don't scare me. But when I opened my eyes, I really saw a very handsome man. He must have taken advantage of me." The more Wang Dagang spoke, the more a chill ran down his spine.
"Don't bother looking anymore, the money bag must have been taken," Chu Qi said, looking at the traces around him. "Someone has been here."
And there were children's footprints, children?
"Let's go down the mountain and check each house one by one."
Especially those families who have recently taken their children up the mountain.
Wang Dachui refused to leave, saying, "You guys go first, I'll wait a bit longer. The boss entrusted me with such an important mission, and I brought all the stuff back from the capital. There's no reason for me to leave it here."
Chu Qi wanted to say something, but Chu Jiu pulled her away.
"Let's go. Don't talk to that idiot. Once he's made up his mind, even the boss can't stop him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given such an important task."
"That's weird, I keep feeling like someone's watching me," Wang Dachui muttered to himself by the stream.
Bang--
Lin Anyuan frowned. He didn't faint?
Wang Dachui shook his head twice, looking at the double image in front of him. "Yes, you're that vixen, vixen! Give me back my money bag!"
Lin Anyuan gripped the stick tightly and strained.
Thump!
Wang Dachui lay motionless on the ground.
"Why do I hear noises coming from the mountain?" Chu Qi glanced at the place they had left.
"Isn't it normal for there to be noise in the mountains? Let's go, let's go."
Chu Shi was in a hurry to go back and investigate the people who had entered the mountains.
...
...
Crackling sound.
Firewood burned in the cave, and a small pot bubbled and boiled.
The first thing Wang Dachui saw when he opened his eyes was the small pot in front of him, and then he saw a handsome man, as beautiful as a fairy, sharpening his knife.
"Ugh, ugh ugh ugh!"
The sound of sharpening knives echoed in the darkness, making Wang Dachui's teeth ache. He stared in horror at the person not far away.
Lin Anyuan added a piece of firewood, then slowly came over with a knife and removed the cloth tied to Wang Dachui's mouth.
"Great Immortal, I'm just an honest man, I've never done anything bad, please don't eat me!"
Wang Dachui, his hands and feet bound, watched in terror as Lin Anyuan approached.
What are you looking for on the mountain?
Wang Dachui was stunned for a moment, "I'm here to find my purse. I lost it when I was unconscious."
No, he remembered that when he woke up by the stream, this was the man he saw. Didn't he take the purse?
What's in the purse?
Lin Anyuan only heard Ye Wan say that there were ten taels of silver inside. It was obvious that these people were going up the mountain again and again, not to find those ten taels of silver.
"have no idea.."
Wang Dachui struggled, but the ropes binding him only tightened further.
"Damn it, what kind of rope is this?!" He couldn't break free.
"You won't tell me? I'm really hungry, and the pot's boiling. I'll cut your meat into slices and blanch them; it should taste pretty good, right?"
Lin Anyuan held the knife in his hand and gestured it over Wang Dachui's body, seemingly considering where to strike.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Wang Dachui and asked, "Would you like to try some too?"
Wang Dachui wanted to cry.
This isn't even human. It's not like it's starving. Who would want to eat human flesh?
The moment the first knife landed on his thigh, Wang Dachui shouted with his eyes closed, "Our boss needs a token to find someone. The token was in my pocket, but I lost it. Don't eat me!"
"Whom are you looking for?" Lin Anyuan asked, easing his grip.
"Find his biological parents!"
Lin Anyuan made a cut.
"Ah—I'm telling the truth. Our eldest brother was separated from his biological parents when he was young. After all these years, he finally found out that his biological parents were in Min County and asked me to bring him his personal keepsake. But I lost it, sob sob..."
Wang Dachui shouted, saying he would go as fast as he wanted.
Lin Anyuan's expression was somewhat indescribable. "Do you think I look like an idiot? Or do you think everyone is an idiot like you?"
Wang Dachui was skeptical. Didn't he believe it?
"Why don't you go find Fang Daru again?"
As soon as Lin Anyuan spoke, he saw the bearded man's pupils shrink, and he immediately felt it was pointless and threw away the knife in his hand.
"Looks like I guessed right. What do you want with Master Fang?"
Wang Dachui said softly, "I don't know."
He really didn't know that, so let him die.
After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for the excruciating torture of being slowly sliced to death.
Lin Anyuan glanced at Wang Dachui, extinguished the fire in the cave, picked up the things in the corner, and left.
After waiting for a long time without anyone returning, Wang Dachui slithered over like a maggot and began rubbing the rope on his hands against a protruding rock.
