Chapter 57: Unclear Intentions
Everyone was nervous when Azhuoxin noticed Winn.
Could it be that something about Winn was revealed and Azhuoxin discovered something suspicious?
Wen Wan frowned worriedly and moved her feet slightly, as if instinctively wanting to get closer to Wen En.
Shen Yu's pupils shrank, and he smiled calmly and said, "Brother Azhuo, what's the matter? Do you know my grandson?"
Grandson???
Winn's face darkened and he almost broke down.
Wen Wan was also stunned, and then the slight nervousness in her heart was eliminated by his clever move.
At this critical moment, he didn't even forget to step on Winn.
He is indeed a black-hearted person who will avenge any grudge.
Azhuoxin smiled meaningfully and said, "I didn't know him before, but... now I'm interested in getting to know him."
After saying that, he strode up to Winn, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
Winn frowned and resisted the urge to turn around and walk away.
"My name is Azhuoxin, what's your name?"
Azhuoxin stretched out his fist forward, which is the etiquette of the hunting tribe.
Wen En looked at Wen Wan with a slightly irritated look, then reluctantly clenched his fist and bumped it with him.
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of introducing himself.
When Shen Yu saw this, he quickly came over to smooth things over.
"Brother Azhuo, my grandson is an introvert..."
Before he could finish his words, Azhuoxin's sharp eyes swept over him.
"Uncle, I want to make friends with him, but let him tell me himself. It's just a name, and we nomadic hunters are not cowards who dare not even say our names."
Shen Yu: “…”
Wen Wan nervously tugged at Wen En's sleeve, feeling extremely panicked.
How would they know what proper surnames there are among the nomadic tribes? If they make up a name but the surname is wrong, they will be doomed!
It’s all Shen Yu’s fault. He prepared masks for everyone, but why did he forget to make up a name for everyone?
However, who would have thought that on the first day of entering the grassland, they would encounter a hunting team from the Azhuo family.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very tense.
Everyone looked alert, as if if Winn said something wrong, both sides would start fighting.
"Lian."
Wen En uttered three words in a cold voice.
"So it's the Lian family. Lian is a small surname. We haven't met anyone from the Lian family in many years."
Azhuoxin didn't react much, just sighed a few words.
However, Shen Yu, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes.
After saying hello, Azhuoxin took his men to the side to rest.
Wen Wan pulled Wen En aside with lingering fear.
"That really scared me just now! Luckily you were smart. But, eh, how did you know there was a person named Lian?"
Wen En smiled faintly, "I used to work in a roasted lamb shop and did business with nomadic hunters. They sold me a lot of sheep, and I heard them mention this surname."
It makes sense.
Wen Wan nodded. "Luckily you've had contact with them, otherwise it would be dangerous today. That Azhuoxin doesn't look like a good person, so we should stay away from him."
"Yeah." Winn agreed.

On the grassland, a bonfire was lit and everyone sat around it.
Beef and mutton were roasting on the campfire, and brown rice soup was cooking in the pot.
A strong man took out some milk wine and started drinking it. After a while, the atmosphere became lively.
It must be said that the people brought by Shen Yu are all elites. They all played the role of nomadic hunters vividly, without any flaws.
Those who are not good at disguising, like Wen Wan and Wen En, should just stay quietly in the corner, say less and make fewer mistakes.
It’s a pity that they want peace and quiet, but some people are restless.
Azhuoxin walked up to Wen Wan and her brother with a bag of milk wine and handed the bag to them.
"Brother, two bites?"
Winn had a sullen, cool look on his face, and he didn't say anything or pay any attention to him.
The rejection was obvious.
"I'm really sorry, my brother doesn't know how to drink." Wen Wan explained softly.
Azhuoxin was startled, and seemed to have just noticed Wen Wan's presence. "Are you his sister?"
"right."
He suddenly smiled and said, "Hello, sister."
Wen Wan: “…”
Why does it feel weird?
Azhuoxin is older than her, right? How could he call her sister without any shame?
Does she look so old?
Winn frowned.
Seeing that Wen En ignored him, Azhuoxin turned his attention to Wen Wan.
"Sister, are you married?"
He suddenly asked this, which really surprised Wen Wan.
Are all nomadic hunters so direct?
Wen Wan: "Uh... no."
"That's great." Azhuoxin grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.
I don’t know if it’s Wen Wan’s illusion, but I always feel that his big white teeth are scary.
Azhuoxin opened the bag of milk wine, raised his head and took a sip, then said with a smile: "There are many good boys in our Azhu family. Sister, you can take a look and find the one you like. I will arrange it for you. With me, Azhuoxin, here, you will have the final say in the family. No one will dare to look down on you."
Wen Wan: "Uh...thank you."
Wen En snorted coldly, pulled Wen Wan's arm to stand up, and pulled her to sit opposite him.
Azhuoxin's eyes fell on the backs of the two people, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint excitement.

After dinner, Chen Yu subtly reminded Wen Wan, "Don't sleep too deeply tonight."
Wen Wan asked in surprise: "Maybe something will happen tonight?"
A flash of light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, "The people of the Azhuo family are notoriously domineering on the grassland. They will always find a way to get the people and things they want."
After a pause, he asked again: "What did Azhuoxin talk to you about earlier?"
"Uh... he asked me if I was married." Wen Wan answered honestly.
Shen Yu was stunned.
Wen Wan began to worry about her own safety. "Do you think he has any shameful thoughts about me? After all, I'm pretty."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu glanced at her, then took out a small bronze mirror from his arms.
He pointed the mirror at Wen Wan and said, "How about you look in the mirror, check your conscience, and repeat what you just said?"
In the mirror, I saw a yellow, pockmarked face with a slightly sunken nose. It was not good-looking at all, and to describe it as ordinary would be a compliment.
And this mask was prepared for her by Shen Yu.
so……
Wen Wan: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"Oh," Shen Yu said calmly, "No."
It would be strange if there weren’t any!
Wen Wan: "What if Azhuo Xin's aesthetic taste is different from that of ordinary people, and he just likes ugly things? Otherwise, why is he deliberately trying to get close to me and asking me if I'm married?"
Shen Yu also lowered his eyes in thought and murmured, "Yes, why is this?"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, you and I should find a tent tonight."
Wenwan was a little embarrassed: "This is not good, a man and a woman alone..."
Shen Yu raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, "What do you mean by a single man and a single woman? Now I am your grandfather!"
She suspected he was scolding her, but she had no evidence.
