"Master, how is it? Is the meat noodle delicious?"
At three quarters past noon, in the main hall of the Hua family in the east of Huaqiao Village, Ye Maochun looked at Wu Chen with a little distress as he finished a large bowl of meat noodles without leaving a drop of soup.
How many days have you been hungry?
"Uh~"
"It's okay!"
The feeling after satisfying my stomach can be summed up in one word: awesome!
"If the chicken soup could be simmered a little longer, the pork slices cut thinner, and some of your... our Laifeng Country's Fufeng County's unique hot sauce was added, it would be even better!"
Wu Chen was burping, stroking his belly with one hand and the twelve scars on his shiny bald head with the other. He looked relaxed and comfortable, and also gave Ye Maochun some advice.
Although Ye Maochun's cooking skills couldn't compare to those of the imperial chefs, the meat noodles he made were superior in that the ingredients were fresh and the flavors were authentic. The vegetables in the noodles were especially crisp and delicious. He had never eaten such delicious vegetables in his entire life.
However, Wuchen's words and actions, in Ye Maochun's eyes, seemed stubborn and face-saving. Therefore, Ye Maochun looked at Wuchen with even more pity and love. This young monk must have suffered a lot since leaving the temple!
"Master Wuchen, you've just arrived, so there's no rush for hard training. Why don't you go to the backyard room and rest for a while?"
Looking at Wuchen, who was feeling a bit sleepy after eating, Ye Maochun offered a thoughtful suggestion. After all, with this monk's skills, he shouldn't be afraid of encountering assassins if he lives here. On the contrary, assassins would probably take a detour when they see him...
"Well……"
"That's fine too."
Wu Chen has been sleeping outdoors recently and he really feels a little tired.
"The two western wing rooms in the backyard are now empty and clean. Master Wuchen, please choose one to rest. I'll go clean up the kitchen first."
"No problem. Uncle, you go about your business and don't worry about me."
Wu Chen touched the twelve scars on his shiny bald head and smiled at Ye Maochun. Ye Maochun felt as if a spring breeze was warming his heart. He always thought that this monk Wu Chen looked kind and friendly. Even his smile was so similar to his husband Mu Lige.
The main hall was located in the center of the Hua family's front yard, with the kitchen to the left and the utility room to the right. After leaving the main hall, Wu Chen moved to the backyard. The largest room in the middle of the backyard had been converted into a classroom, where Hua's mother usually taught the students. From inside, the sounds of children reading could be heard.
Strolling through the Hua family's rustic farmyard, Wu Chen felt a sense of unprecedented relaxation and comfort. While many envied the inherent wealth and splendor enjoyed by the princes and princesses born into imperial families, Wu Chen envied the quiet and peaceful rural life even more.
After strolling around the Hua family courtyard for a while, and then standing outside the window to watch Hua Rongsheng teach the students, Wu Chen, having finished his meal, turned to the west wing and casually opened a room to rest in. As luck would have it, it happened to be the room where Mu Lige had once lived.
There were no elaborate decorations, and the furniture in the room consisted of a few simple fir-wood tables, chairs, benches, a wardrobe, and a bed. Everything looked elegant and simple. However, as Wu Chen lay on the minty bed, he felt a long-lost sense of peace. He usually had to stay awake even when sleeping, but in a moment he fell asleep peacefully.
"Mother, do you think we should wake up Master Wu Chen?" At four quarters past the hour of You, when the students left the Hua family private school one after another, Ye Maochun, who was standing at the classroom door, looked at Hua Rongsheng embarrassedly.
It was already evening. Ever since the incident in which she was almost killed by the secret guards, Hua Rongsheng and her husband Ye Maochun would leave the Hua family in the east of the village after school every day and return to their daughter's Hua house at the end of the village.
"The child's father, I think we should say hello to him." Hua Rongsheng said after thinking for a while.
"Yeah, I think so too." Ye Maochun nodded.
Ye Maochun has not yet told Wu Chen that there might be assassins coming here at night. Although Wu Chen may not care, it is always good to tell him in advance so that he can be mentally prepared. As for whether he wants to continue living here, it depends on him.
“Knock knock knock~”
"Master Wuchen!"
Ye Maochun called out for a while but heard no sound from inside, so he gently pushed open the door. As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Wu Chen lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, with the quilt already slipping to the ground.
"Like a child!"
Ye Maochun smiled slightly, walked forward, picked up the quilt on the ground, folded it and put it on the bed.
"Master Wuchen!"
Ye Maochun gently shook Wu Chen's arm to wake him up.
"Amitabha!"
"It's the uncle!"
Wu Chen slowly sat up from the bed. He felt as if he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. He didn't even notice someone coming.
Wu Chen was secretly surprised. When did his vigilance become so low?
This... is very dangerous!
When Ye Maochun saw Wu Chen wake up, he told him that there might be assassins lurking at the Hua family's house at night.
"That's the situation. We're not chasing Master Wuchen away, but we're worried that you'll be in danger." Ye Maochun said seriously.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, uncle." Wu Chen said and lay back on the bed.
Ye Maochun: ...
"Um... Master Wuchen, dinner is ready for you. Please go to the kitchen and put it in the pot. There are my husband's clothes in the closet. You are similar in size, so you should be able to wear them."
After giving these instructions, Ye Maochun went back to Hua's house at the end of the village with Hua Rongsheng.
As for Wu Chen, after he had dinner and took a shower, he lay back on bed and continued to sleep.
