Chapter 406 Why did you leave? At least eat some meat before leaving
"Brother, my master and I are passing by here. The wind and snow are so strong. We are tired and hungry. Can we rest here for a while?" An Yi took out a few taels of silver from his arms to show his sincerity.
Hearing this, the man looked out curiously. When his eyes fell on Lan Xiyue, he couldn't help but gasp. What a scene! Lan Xiyue stood there quietly, like a fairy in the snow, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Seeing this, An Yi coughed lightly, interrupting the man's distraction.
"Would it be convenient for us to go in and rest for a while?"
The man finally came to his senses and laughed heartily, "That's convenient! Hunting is hard this winter, but I was lucky enough to go into the mountains today and caught a few rabbits. I'm stewing some meat now. Come on, come inside and sit down. The wind and snow are coming earlier than usual this year, so you guys better warm up."
An Yi handed him the small change in his hand and said, "Thank you, big brother. This small change will be our reward."
But the man pushed them back: "Oh no! No need! My name is Zhang Dahu, and I'm a hunter. My house is simple, so please don't mind." After he finished speaking, he stepped aside and warmly invited them into the house.
An Yi turned to look at Lan Xiyue, and seeing her nod slightly, he walked in first.
After entering the house, Lan Xiyue suddenly felt a warm current coming over her, and the coldness in her body dissipated a lot in an instant.
Although the furnishings in the house are simple, they are kept in good order.
Zhang Dahu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Well, I'm the only one in my family. I make a living by hunting. My home is very simple, please don't mind."
Lan Xiyue walked to a nearby stool and sat down. "It's okay. You're very kind of letting us in to avoid the wind and snow. We're very grateful."
Zhang Dahu chuckled a few times when he heard this. He looked at the girl carefully. She was dressed very well. He didn't expect such a noble woman to not despise his simple home.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dahu quickly stood up and said, "You guys sit down first. I'll go get you some hot water to warm you up. I don't have any tea or anything like that at home. I only have boiling water on the stove."
Lan Xiyue nodded, "Thank you for your help."
Zhang Dahu's hurried footsteps echoed in the simple adobe house. He strode towards the kitchen, holding a slightly old kettle and two slightly rough pottery bowls in his hands.
Returning to the main room, he gently placed the items on the worn wooden table that had been weathered by time. "It's winter now, and there are fewer prey. It's really hard to find them." Zhang Dahu said as he picked up the kettle and poured a bowl of steaming water for Lan Xiyue and An Yi.
Lan Xiyue took the bowl and said lightly, "Thank you."
Zhang Dahu was stunned for a moment. An Yi was standing beside him, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He coughed lightly.
Zhang Dahu suddenly realized what was going on and quickly looked away, scratching his head embarrassedly. "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the meat is ready." Zhang Dahu turned around and ran towards the kitchen as if escaping.
"Hmph! If the master were here, he would forget about getting his eyes." An Yi snorted coldly.
Lan Xiyue simply glanced at An Yi, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes. "I don't mean any harm, I've just never seen a beauty like this princess, so it's inevitable that I'll be stunned for a moment."
After she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of hot water. Warmth quickly spread throughout her body.
She closed her eyes and began to meditate, trying to recover her internal strength as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, An Yi also silently closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
The time of an incense stick seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and Lan Xiyue slowly opened her eyes, with a refreshed light shining in them.
She stretched, and An Yi opened his eyes immediately afterwards.
"System, how long until noon?"
System: "Less than an hour."
Lan Xiyue said in a cold voice: "An Yi, let's go."
He nodded, took out the few silver coins from his pocket, put them on the table, and left.
Zhang Dahu was walking into the main room carrying steaming rabbit meat, with a simple smile on his face.
"Girl, the rabbit meat is ready, come and try it."
However, when he stepped into the main room, he found that there was no one in the house.
Zhang Dahu was stunned. He walked forward quickly, put down the bowl of meat, and then walked out of the house quickly without seeing them. "Why did they leave? It's so windy and snowy. At least they should eat some meat before leaving." He muttered to himself.
But at the execution ground in the capital, the scene was quite different.
Bai Xianzhe sat upright in a corner of the execution ground, playing with a teacup in his hand, his eyes revealing an indescribable enjoyment.
The old lady was trembling all over, her lips were frozen purple, and she finally fainted, unable to bear the biting cold.
The old Duke used his body to support her, preventing her from falling to the ground, and called softly, "Old woman..."
Qin looked at the old lady's closed eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, "Father, mother fainted."
The old Duke sighed, "It's better to faint. When I behead you later, I won't feel any pain."
At this moment, Yun Hua also fainted on Liu's shoulder. Liu choked up and called her son's name, "Hua'er, Hua'er..."
On the execution ground, many people fainted one after another.
In the dark, Lan Shenye witnessed all this and felt an irresistible urge in his heart to rush out and rescue these people.
Mo Yifan stopped him, "Don't be impatient, wait and see."
