"Is this... is this something you bought?"
The girls standing in the pavilion saw a fresh wild boar for the first time and thought that Xie Fu and his friends had bought it because they had nothing to eat.
"What are you buying?" Lin Boyu was busy and sweating. He turned around and said with a sly smile: "With me, Ye Shen, here, it will be easy to get it in a few minutes."
What?
It took the girls a long time to realize what he meant, and they all widened their eyes in disbelief.
"You mean, this is Ye Lan calling?"
"Yeah, my Ye Shen was so cool back then." Lin Boyu was so cocky as if he was the one who killed the wild boar. Halfway through his words, he leaned over to Zhou Siqi and whispered, "Don't expose me, buddy."
Zhou Siqi: “…”
He looked at the clueless Lin Boyu with some pity, thinking that sometimes ignorance is a blessing.
In comparison, Xie Fu's attitude towards Ye Lan has changed a lot, and he even reveals a hint of respect in the details.
When dealing with wild boars, he also asked Ye Lan for his opinion first.
"Look for it in the village and ask them to take away the extra meat."
Afterwards, the program team sent people to the village and brought a few more villagers over.
"Isn't this the wild boar from our mountain? It's dead just like that?!" The only strong and healthy person among them, the butcher in the village, was dumbfounded when he saw the wild boar's corpse.
"What's wrong? Could it be that this wild boar is raised by you?" The staff of the program team immediately became nervous.
"No, no, we don't have the means to raise such a ferocious beast. It's already killed many villagers before." The butcher shook his head quickly, his face still filled with fear as he talked about the wild boar's behavior. "Later, we didn't dare go up the mountain anymore, and the animals there seemed to be afraid of wild boars too, so they rarely came out."
At this point, everyone understood why there were so few animal sightings on the mountain.
This makes the wild boar's death even more confusing...
However, everyone's attention was soon attracted by the scene of pigs being slaughtered on the spot.
After slaughtering the pig, the butcher wanted to keep all the good meat, but Ye Lan shook his head and said, "I can't eat that much. I only want this piece. You can take the rest."
The man stared at the ten pounds of meat she was pointing at, his expression stunned for a long moment before he bent deeply toward her, his voice choking with sobs as he said, "There are only elderly people in our village, and we can barely get a bite or two of meat on a regular basis... I, I thank you on behalf of the villagers."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan nodded slightly, accepting the gratitude.
Afterwards, the remaining wild boar meat was taken away by the villagers.
Lin Boyu and Zhou Siqi were responsible for cleaning the bloodstains in the yard with water pipes.
"Hey, I've discovered that stereotypes are truly detrimental." Lin Boyu muttered, muttering even as he worked. "When I first met Ye Shen, I heard she had a bad reputation, so I felt like I disliked everything about her. Now it seems like I've been such an idiot."
Zhou Siqi has never participated in gossip chats and rarely talks about the good or bad of others in front of the camera.
But this time, he nodded and took the initiative to continue the conversation, saying, "Well, she's a cold-faced person with a warm heart. She probably distributed pork to the villagers today because she saw at the lunch table that their food conditions were not very good. But now that the wild boar is dead, the villagers can raise livestock in the mountains from now on."
"Hehe, killing two birds with one stone, Ye Shen is awesome!" Someone echoed, and Lin Boyu boasted even more vigorously.
However, Ye Qingqing and the other three who had watched the entire process seemed exceptionally quiet.
They stood under the eaves holding their bowls, feeling that the sisterhood they had enjoyed singing and dancing in the past was now rendered worthless.
Afterwards, Ye Lan took charge of the cooking and prepared a large wild boar-flavored meal. The aroma filled the entire yard, and Xie Fu and his companions in the house ate with great praise.
Ye Qingqing and the others couldn't even drink the wild vegetable soup in their bowls.
After dinner, when the guests have washed up, the program team will return their phones to them.
This is a regular segment of "Big Lifestyle", a break and vote-gathering session every two days.
Guests can choose whether to start live broadcast and the content of the live broadcast to increase their popularity, and finally the ranking is calculated based on gift points.
Ye Lan had just ordered a toxin separator online when she heard a knock on the door.
"Xiao Ye, are you busy?"
Outside the door, Xie Fu had just finished washing up, but changed into more formal clothes and stood in front of the door looking a little reserved.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Lan raised his eyebrows and asked directly.
"Haha, nothing much..." Xie Fu always felt that he was being stared at by the girl in front of him, and there was an embarrassment of being seen through at a glance, so after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't beat around the bush. "Um, may I ask, are you a ancient warrior?"
Ancient warrior.
These three words were spoken softly, but the moment they came out, the atmosphere was filled with a hint of solemnity and heaviness.
Ancient martial arts are the most mysterious existence in China and even the whole world. According to legend, ancient martial artists can fly into the sky and hide underground, and their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. They also have an ageless appearance and can sweep away thousands of enemies.
Ordinary people may think of it as just a myth, but only those rulers who stand at the top of the pyramid and control the secrets of this world know that ancient martial arts really exist.
However, nowadays, most ancient warriors have retired to the mountains and forests and no longer appear in the world. Occasionally, there are children from top families who try their best to seek guidance from ancient warriors. They are highly expected to become the glorious generation of the family.
The reason why Xie Fu knew this was purely by chance.
So tonight he mustered up the courage to come and find out the truth.
Before coming, he had already prepared himself for not getting an answer, but unexpectedly—
"Um."
Um?
Xie Fu was startled and thought he had misheard.
Ye Lan tilted her head, somewhat confused by his reaction, "Didn't you see that a long time ago?"
"Ahem." Xie Fu choked suddenly and waved his hands hastily to explain, "I just didn't expect you to admit it so straightforwardly."
After all, the status of ancient warriors is noble, but it also means danger.
Ye Lan looked calm and had no intention of hiding anything.
Xie Fu looked at her simple attire and the previous news reports, and couldn't help but feel conflicted. "Since you possess ancient martial arts skills, why don't you find a noble family to live with?"
Even the most insignificant ancient warrior would be treated as a guest of honor in an aristocratic family.
Ye Lan's answer to this was still concise.
"I'm too lazy to look for it."
Xie Fu: “…”
He couldn't help but gasp, feeling a slight toothache, but at the same time, he made up his mind. He placed his hand on his chest, bent down towards the girl, and said respectfully, "If you don't mind, I am willing to represent the Xie family, the number one family in Jiangcheng, and hope to be at your service."
Xie family.
Ye Lan's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard this, and he recalled the information he had found when searching online before, "The Xie family that built a national landmark building?"
"Yes, although our Xie family's strength cannot be compared with the wealthy families in the imperial capital, as long as you don't mind, our Xie family is willing to serve you." Xie Fu said humbly and low-key.
Now, Ye Lan finally understood why Ye Qingqing had always wanted to pester Xie Fu.
