Chapter 467 A Family of Three
Yan Shijiu’s famous saying: If you like it, go grab it.
After more than two hours of "robbery", the dozens of carriages from Yan's mansion were empty when they arrived and fully loaded when they left.
Each one was packed to the brim, the carport was almost overflowing, and wherever the wheels passed, two deep "ditches" were left behind.
When they encountered a place that required going uphill, all the servants in the Yan Mansion got off and pushed the cart with the sound of "hey yo hey yo" to pass.
When they returned to Yan's house, everyone came running to unload the truck and moved the things in a lively and happy manner.
Yun Chen felt like a mountain king who had just returned from robbery.
Seeing Yun Chen's gloomy expression gone and looking quite happy, Lan Qian came over secretly and said:
"Miss, I think Master Yan treats you very well, and he is sincere."
Before Yun Chen could say anything, Xiao Yueer became unhappy:
"Don't talk nonsense! They are friends! Friends for many years!"
After Xiao Yue'er finished speaking, she looked at Yan Shijiu, who was leaning on the corridor drinking tea and smiling at Yun Chen directing the moving. She felt something was wrong.
It was clear that Yun Chen only had Huo Gannian in his mind, but Yan Shijiu seemed alright before, but now he always felt that he had other intentions. Xiao Yueer couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:
"What a scheming guy, he has all the tricks to pick up girls."
"Niu" whose name was called happened to hear it - Yun Chen bent his fingers and tapped Xiao Yue'er's head, pointing to the altar and statue on a carriage, which were the ones Huo Luyu had been worshipping when he was in the Huo Mansion.
After Huo Luyu left, Xiaoyueer took over her position and never slacked off for a single day.
But the one kneeling there before was Huo Luyu, praying for Yun Chen's well-being.
Later, the one kneeling became Xiaoyue'er, praying for Huo Luyu's safety.
When Xiaoyue saw the thing she missed the most, she immediately forgot about "who is dating whom" and excitedly went over to help move it.
Under Yun Chen's orderly arrangement, it took more than an hour to unload these dozens of carriages, and another two hours to properly arrange and place them.
Yan Shijiu also agreed to set aside six rooms to store Rong Yi, Luo Dongdong and their belongings.
After everything was packed up, Yun Chen looked around with satisfaction.
The only regret was that her most important sword and horse had long been taken away by special personnel sent by the imperial court, and she could not get them back.
But the current situation was good enough. Looking at the familiar furnishings and items, she suddenly felt that the Yan Mansion was not so unfamiliar.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, clapped her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Yan Shijiu.
Seeing that his goal had obviously been achieved, Yan Shijiu curled his lips into a smile and put on the appearance of a playboy again.
In front of all the servants, he walked towards Yun Chen and leaned slightly close to her ear.
From the perspective of the servants around, it seemed like Yan Shijiu was going to kiss Yun Chen.
In an instant, the servants ran away, and there was nothing left in the yard except the beauty couch used for cooling off.
This posture instantly made Yun Chen feel uneasy. Looking at Yan Shijiu approaching step by step, she instinctively wanted to retreat.
But when she took one look at the beauty bed that was rescued because of Yan Shijiu and all the valuables, she forced herself to hold back and not move.
Yan Shijiu smiled in an extremely proud and charming manner, getting closer and closer to her.
He was so close that she could smell it clearly. He had a very special scent, like washed mint leaves, cold but pleasant.
He opened his lips and spoke, his breath warm against her ear.
Judging from Yan Shijiu's usual behavior, Yun Chen felt that he should ask for a reward from her at this time, and he might even ask her to marry him or something like that.
Just when Yun Chen thought Yan Shijiu was about to ask, "What are you going to do to repay me?", the guy suddenly became extremely nervous and uttered softly:
"Do you still want to eat crabs?"
Yun Chen was stunned and couldn't respond. Yan Shijiu said again:
"Before I left this morning, I asked someone to buy some flower crabs. They were extra-large, almost as big as your head. Do you have an appetite now?"
After saying this, Yan Shijiu straightened up, retreated to a proper distance, and asked Wan Chen, who was on duty in the distance, to set the table for food.
Soon, fresh mutton pot, hot and sour noodle soup, and a pot of fat flower crabs cooked in sugar-coated fermented rice were placed in the yard again.
This time, Yun Chen was in a better mood and had a better appetite. He ate from the pot with relish.
In the side room, A Ling, who had been about to hibernate, smelled the scent of food and kept banging his head against the cage.
Yun Chen said, "Let A Ling out. I haven't held her in a long time." His tone seemed to be saying, "Where's your precious child? Come out and let me get close to her."
This made Wan Chen, who was standing next to him, feel a chill and he couldn't help but shiver.
He has been Yan Shijiu's personal bodyguard for many years. A Ling was raised by Yan Shijiu himself, and grew up under Wan Chen's nose.
From a small snake, to a giant black python that has grown and been dyed into its current form, A Ling is Yan Shijiu's favorite pet.
But Wan Chen could never like A Ling. That cold big guy made even a secret guard like him feel scared.
But Yunchen was not afraid.
Wan Chen released A Ling. The huge black python twisted and crawled in the snow. As usual, it rubbed Yan Shijiu's legs first, then slowly crawled to Yun Chen's side, flicked its tongue twice, and put its head close to Yun Chen's bowl and a large piece of lamb chops.
Yun Chen was eating with great relish and concentration, and obviously didn't want to be disturbed. He didn't even raise his head, and just like he usually slapped Yan Shijiu, he gave A Ling a big slap in the face.
A Ling stood there in a daze, obviously stunned by the beating, and Wan Chen was also stunned.
Yan Shijiu threw his head back and laughed, then fell back on the beauty couch, holding his stomach.
For some reason, although A Ling was clearly just a python, Wan Chen could see an expression of grievance and surprise on the cold snake's face.
Seeing that Yun Chen had no intention of sharing food with her, A Ling had to slowly crawl to Yan Shijiu. Wan Chen immediately brought out a dozen freshly slaughtered live chickens.
Then, a very harmonious yet... weird scene appeared:
In the yard covered with a thin layer of snow, Yan Shijiu sat on the beauty couch, with A Ling on his left and Yun Chen on his right.
He used his left foot to protect A Ling, and kicked a chicken to A Ling's mouth from time to time. The abyss snake would swallow the whole chicken, and the sound of bones breaking would be heard continuously.
Then Yan Shijiu had to take care of Yun Chen on his right with both hands. While she was gnawing on the lamb leg, he nimbly and more and more skillfully peeled the big flower crab for her.
Sometimes Yun Chen couldn't wait for Yan Shijiu's "supply", so he just cracked the crabs himself, bit the crab legs, and ate them with a "crunch crunch" sound, which was similar to A Ling's.
Looking at this "family of three" scene, Wan Chen was stunned for a long time and couldn't help shivering.
He didn't understand that Yan Shijiu liked snakes, and that was a love he had cultivated since he was a child.
Why isn’t Yun Chen afraid?
It seemed that he could see Wan Chen's confusion. In addition, he was in a particularly good mood because he was with Yun Chen. Yan Shijiu took advantage of Yun Chen's going to the toilet to speak up and help Wan Chen solve his doubts:
"Do you know when animals attack? Especially sensitive, delicate, and intelligent animals like Aling."
Wan Chen thought for a moment and replied, "When you sense danger?"
"That's half right." Yan Shijiu smiled. "When animals sense danger and ill will, they will attack."
Wan Chen seemed to understand a little bit of what Yan Shijiu meant, but not completely.
Yan Nineteen continued:
"Animals are most sensitive to human murderous intent. All dirty calculations, dark and filthy thoughts, these dark sides make them feel dangerous. So, apart from their masters, they are only willing to get close to pure and kind souls. Do you understand?"
Wan Chen suddenly understood. Looking at Yun Chen who had just walked out of the bathroom, whose eyes were whiter and cleaner than the snow in early winter, he nodded in conviction.
Yun Chen sat back at the table and ate two more crabs, two bowls of mutton soup and a bowl of rice wine.
When she finally had enough to eat and drink and wanted to rest quietly for a while and think about Huo Gannian, Yan Shijiu stood up from the beauty couch, dusted off his robes in a casual manner, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, next game, continue!"
"What are you doing? I really can't run anymore. I've been running all day and I'm so sleepy."
"Are you sure? I heard there's an auction going on at the market tonight for something called the 'Taiping Sword' and the 'Wuyang Horse'. A lot of people are going to bid. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Yun Chen jumped up from the stool, shook his sleeves and walked out quickly, which made Yan Shijiu laugh again.
