The mutant wolfhound was too big and jumped directly into the wall and lay on the ground. This time, the obsidian worm drilled directly into the wolfhound's thick hair to rest, unwilling to follow Zhang Mu into the house.
"What the hell is this? Bring out the meat."
As soon as Li Dawei entered the room and saw that there were not many dishes on the table, he began to greet his wife, and then asked Zhang Mu and others to sit down with a smile.
"Who knew that adults would come? Isn't this just for the two of us to eat?"
The woman hurriedly tried to remove the food from the table, but Zhang Mu stopped her and said, "Don't bother, we can just have two bites, Lao Li, just add two sets of bowls and chopsticks."
"You can just call me Li Dawei." Li Dawei thought he had heard wrongly.
The woman echoed, "Yes, yes."
Li Dawei and his wife seemed flattered by Zhang Mu's friendliness, but they were suppressed by Zhang Mu's tough attitude.
Zhang Mu was wary of the abnormal behavior of the obsidian worm before, and no matter how he asked it, it couldn't tell him the reason.
Now that Li Dawei wanted to change the dishes, Zhang Mu naturally refused. The woman probably didn't know that they were coming, and it would be fine if the couple fed him the food.
A few more cups of wine were heated up during the meal, but this little bit of alcohol had no effect on Zhang Mu, who was now a second-level evolver.
However, the taste of this wine is somewhat sweet and sour and refreshing. According to Li Dawei, it was brewed with fruits grown by his own family. Yuan Rui, who was persuaded to try it, also drank a few sips.
The strange thing was that under the dim light, there was no sign of drunkenness on the couple's faces.
After having enough food and drink, Zhang Mu said
"Old Li, the adult you are talking about always keeps to himself and doesn't interact with others?"
Li Dawei looked at Zhang Mu and relaxed. He thought for a while and said, "Sir, that guy is really different from you. He became interested and came to our Li Village because he heard that a quick-talking villager of ours was eager for food and wanted to exchange those inedible and unusable medicinal herbs with him.
He stayed there for half a month, in a small hut owned by herbalists at the foot of the mountain, staying with the herbs.
In fact, whether you can get the herbs depends on you and that person's discussion, otherwise I don't know whether he is willing to let go. "
"If you say so, that person's temper is really a bit strange."
Zhang Mu suddenly thought of something, his expression unchanged, as if he was just casually mentioning it.
"Except for that person, no other adults have ever come to your Li Village."
Li Dawei answered Zhang Mu with a normal expression, "Except you, sir, and that person, there are no other adults.
We didn't dare bring strangers back, but we were running low on food recently, and the food he gave us couldn't sustain the consumption of dozens of people in the village."
Zhang Mu nodded seemingly casually, picked up the peanuts the woman had just brought him, and changed the subject, but his vigilance was at its highest.
This Li Dawei is lying!
Zhang Mu had always remembered the looks in those children’s eyes. He was sure that those children must have seen mutant beasts similar to the mutant wolfhounds, and the one at the foot of the mountain should be an evolver with awakened plant abilities, and it was impossible for him to have the ability to tame a mutant beast.
Unless encountering some extreme situations, this Li Dawei is definitely speaking!
But they were just ordinary people and did not notice any energy fluctuations. Unless their level reached the third level, it would be impossible to hide it from themselves normally.
However, even a person with great deception skills will be able to detect subtle changes in micro-expressions due to the keen observation ability of the Evolved.
However, the couple did not find any traces, which was why Zhang Mu did not take action immediately.
He wanted to see what they were up to. Acting was boring when done alone. It was only fun when there was cooperation.
Zhang Mu calmly put down his chopsticks, looked at the two people opposite him and said slowly, "Take me to see that person. I have to say hello to him before I take away the herbs."
"Yes, yes, let Lao Li take you to the small house at the foot of the mountain." The woman responded to Zhang Mu. She paused, looked at Yuan Rui and asked, "Sir, if you don't want to go, just stay in our house and rest."
Yuan Rui also looked a little sleepy, so Zhang Mu asked her to stay and he and Li Dawei walked out the door.
Because of the precaution, Zhang Mu let the obsidian worm stay with Yuan Rui before leaving. However, it still looked uncomfortable, but still agreed to Zhang Mu's request and stayed in the yard with the mutant wolfhound to guard Yuan Rui.
Why is the smell of soil so strong here?
It shouldn't be.
Zhang Mu sniffed it carefully a few more times and shook his head.
In the air, at most there was only a faint scent of medicine wafting occasionally.
Letting Yuan Rui, who was standing at the door, go to bed early, Zhang Mu followed Li Dawei who had left earlier.
He was holding an oil lamp and walking in front. At first, the big lanterns in each household could illuminate the muddy but relatively flat path under his feet. The further he walked, the harder it became to walk on the road.
