Chapter 286 My Wish 8
It was not until lunch time that the old lady came out of the closed room, looking a little tired.
As soon as she saw the old lady, Yu Ke's body immediately tensed up, her shoulders and back tensed, and she went into a defensive state.
The old lady frowned when she saw Yu Ke was there, and said in a deep voice:
"Why don't you just lie down in bed and recover instead of running out here?"
Feng Yan lowered her eyes silently, pretending to be an invisible person.
Yu Ke stood up suddenly and apologized obediently: "I'm sorry, I'll go back now."
Alas! Forget about this old lady!
She would feel more comfortable going back to her room and eating alone.
However, the old lady stopped Yu Ke's actions in a cold voice.
"Okay, now that you're here, just sit here and eat."
Yu Ke sat back down suddenly, her main purpose was to be obedient.
The three of them ate quietly. Apart from the clinking of bowls and chopsticks and the slight chewing sounds, there was no other sound.
Yu Ke felt very uncomfortable and had a very hard time eating this meal.
It doesn't feel like eating, but more like setting rules.
Suddenly, the old lady spoke, talking to Feng Yan.
"How are the preparations for the festival going?"
Feng Yan looked a little surprised, as if she didn't expect the old lady to ask her at this time.
She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, "I'm preparing it as you ordered. It will definitely not affect the festival."
"Um."
The old lady responded briefly and then fell silent.
Yu Ke held the bowl, looked left and right, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Festival?"
She also heard someone mention the festival today.
But now, judging from what the old lady and Feng Yan said, it seems that the old lady is the person in charge of the ceremony?
Feng Yan did not answer Yu Ke's question immediately, but turned her head to look at the old lady.
It was not until the old lady nodded that Feng Yan explained to Yu Ke:
"We hold a festival every year to worship the gods and pray for peace."
It was the first time that Yu Ke learned about offering sacrifices to gods and she felt a little confused.
"A spirit?"
"That's right!" Feng Yan's eyes were filled with fanaticism and worship. "The omnipotent gods will bless us to make our wishes come true, as long as we..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady's cold voice.
"alright!"
Feng Yan shut up instantly and laughed dryly twice, "Haha, no more talking, let's eat."
Yu Ke: “…”
Don’t! She wanted to keep listening!
Saying only half of the words will drive people crazy!
But after the old lady spoke, Feng Yan didn't dare to say anything more, and Yu Ke didn't dare to ask any more questions either. She could only keep it to herself.
After finishing her meal, the old lady immediately returned to her room.
Yu Ke slowly moved to the yard, looked at the closed door, and was curious about what the old lady was doing inside.
She approached Feng Yan, who was about to wash the dishes, and asked for help.
"Sister-in-law, what is mom doing in the room?"
When the old lady was not around, Feng Yan felt less restrained.
Her hands kept moving, and she washed the bowl neatly and handed it to Yu Ke, who then wiped the bowl dry with a dry towel.
"Mom is responsible for hosting the festival. There are some things that she needs to prepare personally. She is very busy during this period."
"Why can Mom host the ceremony?"
"Of course you need special skills to do this."
"What's that special ability?"
Feng Yan stopped what he was doing, looked at Yu Ke, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You will know when the festival day comes."
Yu Ke didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Because at that moment, Feng Yan's expression became very wrong, just... a little abnormal.
Yu Ke obediently helped Feng Yan clean all the bowls, chopsticks and plates, and then planned to go back to her room to rest for a while.
She got up too early in the morning and started to feel sleepy after eating and drinking.
But just as she stood up, she heard a knock on the door.
Yu Ke looked towards the gate. As it was open, she saw the person outside.
——Three of the five players.
After seeing Yu Ke's appearance clearly, the two men and one woman's eyes widened a lot, and they almost lost the polite smiles on their faces.
They knocked on the door but didn't say anything, which made Feng Yan at the side wonder:
"You are from outside the country, right? Why are you here?"
You have to know that the Wu family is alone here, and there are no other families around.
There's nothing worth seeing around here. There's only weeds and yellow soil everywhere. How did you get here?
Feng Yan's voice brought the three people outside the door, who were dazed by seeing Yu Ke, back to their senses.
The only woman among them stood up and greeted Feng Yan and Yu Ke with a smile on her face.
"Hello, we saw that you were the only family here, so we came over to take a look out of curiosity."
"My name is Dai Ningzhen, and these two are my friends."
She pointed to the beautiful boy on the left and said, "His name is Hua Wenxiang."
Then he pointed to the tall, long-legged, handsome man on the other side, "His name is Bai Song."
The other party's attitude was friendly, and Feng Yan and Yu Ke also introduced themselves in a nice voice.
Dai Ningzhen has strong social skills and became familiar with Feng Yan after just a few words.
Feng Yan also invited the three people in, poured them water, and served them homemade dried sweet potatoes.
The two women, who were good at chatting, started chatting animatedly.
Yu Ke, who originally wanted to go back for a nap, felt it was inconvenient to leave because of the arrival of the guests, so she just sat there and stayed.
She sat very uncomfortably because of the two direct gazes from across from her.
Hua Wenxiang's eyes were always fixed on Yu Ke's face, with an expression of jealousy and envy, and a greedy look in her eyes.
After watching for a while, he couldn't help but start a conversation with Yu Ke.
"Who are you in this family?"
Yu Ke still remembered her own conflicting views on the main quests and did not intend to reveal her identity as a player.
So she pointed at Feng Yan and said, "This is my sister-in-law."
Hua Wenxiang propped her chin up with her delicate white hands, crossed her legs in a graceful manner, and frowned when she heard the words:
"You're not getting married?"
Listening to Dai Ningzhen and Feng Yan chatting, the host's surname is Wu, so the only possible reason for Yu Ke to appear here is the same as Feng Yan.
She is a daughter-in-law who married into the family from outside.
Yu Ke nodded.
On the surface, her identity is just the daughter-in-law of the Wu family.
Hua Wenxiang couldn't help but sigh with regret, "What a pity."
He looked at Yu Ke's fair and smooth skin carefully, his eyes rolled around, and he moved a small stool to get closer to Yu Ke.
"Hey, how do you maintain it?"
"ah?"
Hua Wenxiang stretched out her hand and pouted, "I thought my skin was pretty good, but it's still a little worse than yours."
"Tell me how you maintain your appearance. I'll tell you mine, too."
Yu Ke subconsciously followed his movements and looked at his arm.
It's white and smooth, and you can't tell what's wrong with it.
She pursed her lips helplessly, not knowing what to say.
