Su Qingluan's first reaction when hearing this question was confusion, followed by vigilance: What does this person mean by asking this question?
Then she noticed where she was - although it was Huaxi Village, it was just dawn. And since the busy farming season is now over, the fields are full of stacks of harvested grain waiting to be collected in proportion to pay taxes.
So the current location is a fork in the road that is close to Mu Xing's Home, and there are no neighbors too close to Mu Xing's Home, which can be regarded as "nowhere in front of the village and no store in the back" in a sense.
In addition, the morning light is dim now, the light intensity is blurry, and the bleak autumn wind makes the clothes rustle, it can barely qualify as a "dark and windy night".
Should...should it be...Su Qingluan took a step back with some vigilance: Could this person think that he was some kind of spy and wanted to kill her and silence her?
This is so unfair!
Su Qingluan blurted out subconsciously: "I am one of my own, don't shoot!"
"..." Kaiyang looked confused and held back a sentence for a long time, "What kind of gun is 'shooting'? I have only practiced long guns."
Su Qingluan: ...Some muscle memories are indeed difficult to change.
So she decided to ignore the question, because Su Qingluan noticed that since the other party asked her such a trivial and unimportant question in a nice manner, it meant that she might have gone astray.
After all, according to my own impression, spies must be tortured or killed with a knife.
At least it can't be as casual as it is now.
So Su Qingluan asked: "What makes you have such an idea? I have to say that I haven't had any 'deep hatred' with anyone so far."
Although there are some people like Dong Mao who are disgusting, after all, his evil deeds have been punished. Su Qingluan believes that there is no need to remember them in particular, so at most they can be regarded as "disliked people", but they are not that much. "deep hatred".
Then Su Qingluan discovered that this time Kaiyang was really in front of her, looking at her with a look... caring for mentally retarded children.
Su Qingluan's head was filled with questions: "...Is there something wrong with me?" Or was there something wrong with what she said? She thinks there is nothing wrong with her...
Kaiyang stared at Su Qingluan for a moment, making her feel a little scared, and then slowly uttered a sentence that made her head full of questions: "Ms. Su has a broad mind and a kind heart..." After saying that, he turned around and continued to look at her. Go forward.
Su Qingluan: ...He should be complimenting me, right? Being open-minded and kind-hearted is a compliment, right? Why did she smell a sense of pity?
Before taking two steps, Kaiyang stopped again: "But in that case, why does Mrs. Su target my boss?"
"...So what did I do to make you think I was 'targeting' him?" Su Qingluan was simply exhausted - this person was half-talking everything as if he was playing charades, which was really uncomfortable. In this case, she might as well go to the grave...ah, it would be more enjoyable to go to Mu Xing's house.
As a result, Kaiyang, who was "half-way talking", started to act like a gourd again. He only said, "Mrs. Su, please go and negotiate with our boss." Then he walked forward with his head down.
So when Su Qingluan saw Mu Xingzhi again, he was no longer as embarrassed as he was at first. Instead, he was full of curiosity: "What weird words did you say to your subordinate?" ?" Su Qingluan's face was full of confusion and accusation, "I am simply more unjust than Dou E!"
Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan going crazy on the spot with some amusement, and asked, "Who is Dou E?"
"...She was a woman who died unjustly in the story to make Yue Yue Feixue - but that's not the point! What on earth did you arrange for me in front of your subordinates?" Why did the subordinate named Kaiyang look at me? Her eyes are always weird!
When Kaiyang entered the main hall with Songbo who was serving tea, he was stunned when he saw such an "unscrupulous" conversation. He looked at Songbo secretly, with a look on his face that his brain had shut down due to too much shock.
Song Bo silently patted his shoulder and whispered: "You'll get used to it. This Madam Su... well, she is a strange person."
Kaiyang looked at Su Qingluan with a look that turned from suspicion to admiration: There seemed to be only a few people who dared to talk to the master like this. Is he really a broad-minded person?
...No, in a sense, it should be the master who is broad-minded, right?
Su Qingluan over there was not aware of Kaiyang's rich inner activities, so he only looked at Mu Xingzhi with an accusing look on his face.
Mu Xingzhi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Su Qingluan, and said with a smile: "Qingluan might as well explain why he wrapped the rotten food in rice cakes and gave it to me to eat?"
"Rotten?" Su Qingluan slapped the table, "I can guarantee with my cooking skills that although the rice cake I make has a special taste, all the ingredients are absolutely fresh!"
And if paired correctly, all four fillings can actually be turned into delicious ingredients!
Except for Su Qingluan, the other three people present exchanged glances with each other. This time, even Mu Xingzhi, who had always been "unfazed when the mountain collapsed", showed an indescribable expression.
Finally, it was Song Bo who asked with such caution: "Ms. Su, you mean... 'all' ingredients are fresh?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about this!" Su Qingluan sounded very sure.
"But obviously one of the rice cakes is so stinky!" Kaiyang finally couldn't hold himself any longer, and his face collapsed, "I thought what I tore open was not the rice cake, but... but the pickled thing!"
Maybe this person wanted to speak directly, but found it too rude, so he used a pronoun.
Su Qingluan, on the other hand, looked incredulous: "Haven't you ever eaten stinky tofu?"
So although they ate lightly in Huaxi Village, the master-slave trio had never heard of what "stinky tofu" was. Su Qingluan gave them a detailed introduction to "What are the fermented foods including stinky tofu?" As a result, the three of them all looked like their outlook on life had been reshaped - although Mu Xingzhi couldn't tell it on the surface, he didn't move for a long time while serving tea!
At this moment, the sound of birds flying past came from the window, and then there was a soft "click" sound, and something seemed to fall on the window lattice.
Song Bo quickly walked over and brought one back from outside - Su Qingluan didn't know what kind of bird it was. In short, it was covered in gray. It was very common in the countryside. It was not a sparrow but a very inconspicuous bird.
Of course, it won't be a pigeon.
Su Qingluan looked at the place where the bird's legs were - it was bare and there was nothing there.
Isn't it a bird that carries messages like homing pigeons? Just when she was a little disappointed, Songbo touched the underside of the bird's wings and saw a small cylinder hidden under the feathers near the two bird's legs.
The cylinder is indeed a bit thin, and it would take a sewing needle to poke out the contents inside.
Su Qingluan watched as Song Bo pulled out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing.
However, in order to avoid suspicion, after she pulled out the silk, she immediately lowered her head and did not look at it. Instead, Mu Xingzhi dropped a bombshell to Su Qingluan in a casual tone after reading: "Qingluan, there is no need to lower your head. This matter is true." It has something to do with you - that night pearl really kills people invisible."
