Chapter 18 The Spiritual World of Foodies
The young lady on the bed was sleeping with her clothes on. The coarse cloth clothes on her did not look rustic at all, but instead gave people a simple and rustic feeling from the mountains.
I don’t know what sweet dream she was having, her red lips opened and closed gently, and her soft lips looked like ripe strawberries, as if sweet juice would come out if you took a bite.
Shen Yu's eyes darkened, and the fist hanging at his side clenched slightly.
He must have been haunted by last night's dream, which is why he had such dirty thoughts.
It's all because of this girl's audacity, always saying wild words to tease him.
"Big pig's hoof, don't run..."
Wen Wan struggled and waved her hands, then sat up with a somersault.
After a good night's sleep, she stretched contentedly and slowly opened her eyes.
Then, he met Chen Yu's extremely disgusted look.
"Wipe your saliva." Shen Yu said with a frown.
Wen Wan raised her hand and touched it, and felt embarrassed instantly.
I'm really drooling.
But there is a saying that as long as you don’t feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
So she patted her stomach without blushing or panting, "I'm a little hungry."
Shen Yu: “…Yeah, I can see that.”
If you dream of chewing pig's trotters, it means you are very hungry, right?
Wen Wan was very unhappy with his sarcasm again and frowned.
"What are you doing standing by my bed so early in the morning? Is that polite of you to peek at a girl sleeping?"
Shen Yu's expression was very calm, and after a pause, his smile deepened.
"Didn't I wake up because of the sound of you chewing pig's trotters?"
nonsense!
The pig's trotter in her dream clearly flew away and she didn't even get to chew it, so how could it make any sound?
Shen Yu looked at her angry look and raised the corner of his mouth again.
"Okay, we have to go after dinner. Please pack up and come down to eat."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left the room.
Wen Wan stared at his back until he disappeared, then she looked away.
She always felt that his previous excuse was to fool her, but why was he standing by her bed watching her sleep so early in the morning?
Could it be that he finally noticed her beauty?
Wen Wan, who is used to being a lazy person, has one biggest advantage, which is that she doesn't get stuck in a rut.
Don't think about things that you can't figure out. Things will work out in the end. She has died once, and the life she has now is a blessing. What is there to be afraid of?
It doesn’t matter, do whatever you want!

The food in the inn in the small town is not very rich, and breakfast is just simple buns, steamed buns and porridge.
Wen Wan was really hungry. She ate the buns and pickles with great relish.
Gao Ling and Shen Yu sat opposite her and watched her eat five buns in one breath.
"Great." Influenced by her, Gao Ling also had a great appetite and ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
Wenwan puffed out her cheeks and chewed like a little squirrel, her eyes and expression full of satisfaction.
She swallowed the food, then waved her hands and said, "It's okay. I'm still young and growing, so I eat a little more than the average person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yu looked over at her coldly.
"This is the first time I've seen someone describe gluttony in such a refreshing and refined way."
Wen Wan glared at him and then came up with a plan.
She looked at Gao Ling, "Brother Gao, do you have a wife at home?"
Gao Ling nodded. "At my age, I naturally have a wife. Why are you asking this?"
Wen Wan sighed pretentiously, raised her neck and proudly fought back against Shen Yu.
"Nothing, I just think birds of a feather flock together, but that's not always true. Some people, just because they have big mouths, still haven't found a wife. How pitiful."
Certain people, specifically Shen Yu.
Shen Yu: “…”
Shen Yu didn't laugh, but Gao Ling grinned so hard that he was out of breath.

The breakfast ended in a noisy atmosphere. After the meal, the caravan set off again and continued to head towards Zhuzhou.
On the way, Wen Wan kept observing the surrounding mountains and terrain, and analyzed the places where ancient tombs might exist from the perspective of feng shui.
As the saying goes, the predecessors buried according to the book, and the later generations dug according to the book.
Reading more is beneficial.
The carriage swayed along the mountain road, and the mountain breeze, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, wafted over. The smell was not very strong, but it was refreshing and even my mood improved.
Wen Wan was gazing at the mountains in the distance. Shen Yu was driving the carriage with the reins in his hand. When he turned around inadvertently, he saw her smiling with a look of enjoyment.
You can still enjoy life even when you are sleeping in the open air.
Shen Yu felt that such a gentle woman did not look like a concubine of a merchant kept in the backyard.
He asked softly, "Besides geomancy, what else did your master teach you?"
They were in a good mood and, for once, they didn't argue with each other, so Wen Wan was happy to say a few more words.
"History." She spat out two words.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, as if this answer was completely beyond his expectations.
Wenwan's thoughts drifted away, and the memories of staying up late to study hard in her previous life were still vivid in her mind.
"My major is history. Many people think that history is just history, and there's nothing to learn about it. It's all about things that have already happened, and you just need to memorize the time points of historical events."
"However, true history learning is about understanding the reasons why certain historical events occurred, and every seemingly insignificant detail in those events that was powerful enough to change the course of history."
She hadn't talked about this with anyone in a long time.
As the warm breeze blew, she suddenly felt the desire to talk and impulsively opened her mouth.
"History is filled with countless battles and countless legendary stories. Every battle and every legendary story offers a place for future generations to draw lessons from."
"The good strategy we used last time to defeat the enemy with fewer people was the same strategy used by a great historical figure when faced with the same situation."
"And the feng shui techniques I learned were also the experiences that a legendary figure in history had delved into."
Shen Yu was used to her mischievous appearance, but when he suddenly saw her telling these stories with a serious expression, he couldn't help but look at her twice more.
Wen Wan was completely unaware of his inquiring gaze, but suddenly noticed a black shadow flying across the sky.
She was startled, her face showed joy, and she excitedly grabbed Shen Yu's arm.
"Look, it's the bluebird!"
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, "Black Blue Bird?"
Wen Wan explained, "Let me put it simply. The branches that the blackbirds use to build their nests come from the blackwood tree. The blackwood tree only grows on large cemeteries, so..."
"Is there a large tomb nearby?" Shen Yu asked in a deep voice.
Wen Wan nodded, and after carefully observing the surrounding terrain, her eyes fell on the hillside in the distance.
"Hey, why is there a house where the bluebird flew past?"
"Do you know where that is? Can we go see it?"
Shen Yu looked in the direction of her finger, and when he looked away, his expression was indescribable.
He actually knew where that place was.
Wen Wan waited eagerly for his answer, and saw him say something hesitantly.
"That's... the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth. Are you sure you want to go and see it?"
