Xia Huanxiang took a sip of tea, his ears still picking up the conversations of the diners in the lobby. After listening to two paragraphs, he asked Yin Yi: "Do you know his origin?"
Yin Yi said no, "He is very defensive."
Xia Huanxiang asked: "Heavier than you?"
Yin Yi: "..."
Xia Wanwan waved his hand, "Pretend I didn't say anything." Then said, "I understand, you go up first. I'll get food later."
Yin Yi said "Yeah", stood up and left.
That indifferent and distant figure seemed not to be interested at all in the hotly debated topic in the lobby.
Of course, it may also be that because of the difference in race, he simply can't understand it.
Xia Huanxiang was not in a hurry to talk about the food. She sat leisurely for a while and listened to the gossip. Until she felt that there was nothing new in the topics these diners were talking about, she lazily got up and went to give the food to the diners. The half-snake child gets food.
When she was about to start making arrangements, she realized that she hadn't just asked Yin Yi what the half-snake child would eat, chicken and frogs? If she wanted to eat other weird things, where would she get them?
But she was too lazy to ask again. After thinking about it, she simply went out and bought some plain steamed buns.
As the first audience member, Aiguo couldn't help but secretly gasped: Lord God, what a harm! I'm buying meat stuffing anyway.
However, patriots can only dare to criticize silently and dare not really speak out.
Xia Huanxiang knocked on the door of Yin Yi's room with his buns in hand. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the half-snake child who had been cleaned up by Yin Yi.
After washing his dirty face, he looked quite pretty. The original tattered clothes were also changed into Yin Yi's clothes, but the clothes were too big. Even the normal style undershirt looked like a robe behind him. The sleeves were rolled up several times, but it also made his figure look better. Skinny.
The child was sitting on the chaise longue. When he saw Xia Huanxiang coming, he immediately stood up, his hands quietly pressed to his side, alert and defensive.
Xia Huanxiang looked uninterested, glanced at him briefly and put the buns in his hands on the table, "Here, the food is here. I didn't know what to give him, so I went to the street and bought a few. steamed stuffed bun."
Yin Yi opened the oil paper wrapping the buns, turned to the child and said, "Come and eat."
The half-snake kid looked at the white-flour buns and his throat twitched slightly.
He really hasn't seen such a clean bun for a long, long time.
His heart was racing, and he wanted to reach out and grab the bun, but when he thought that it was the bun that Xia Huanxiang had brought, he stopped his heartbeat.
Who knows if the bun is poisonous? What if there is poison hidden in it that can control him?
The more he thought about it, the less greedy the half-snake child became for steamed buns.
Yin Yi saw that he remained standing still and knew that he must be worried about something. But if he had to say something to dispel the wariness of this underage half-snake, Yin Yi couldn't do it.
For a moment, there was some silence in the room.
Xia Huanxiang glanced twice and walked straight to the half-snake child. As he walked, he said, "Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death." After saying that, he happened to walk up to him, then leaned over and asked him, "You Do you want to be the one who starves to death, or the one who suffocates to death?" After asking, she straightened up, passed him and went straight to the imperial concubine's couch behind him.
The half-snake kid had been wary of Xia Huanxiang. When she leaned over to talk to him, all the hair on his body stood up. She walked behind him, and he immediately turned around, fearing that she would sneak up behind him.
Xia Huanxiang's attention was on the imperial concubine's couch where he had been sitting. She stretched out her hand to perform a cleansing operation. She immediately fell onto the imperial concubine's couch as if she had no bones, and then looked straight at the half-snake child.
The child didn't expect that Xia Huanxiang came over just to lie down on the imperial concubine's bed, so he froze on the spot. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and then he remembered the two words Xia Huanxiang had just said to him.
Starve the coward to death, starve the bold to death. She's saying he's a coward!
The half-snake child was very dissatisfied. He was not timid!
But his reason quickly told him that this woman wanted to provoke him, and she said this deliberately just to provoke him to eat the buns! He won't be fooled!
Thinking that he had broken through Xia's delusional trick, the half-snake child squinted his eyes. Without him noticing, his eyes turned into the vertical pupils of the snake tribe.
Xia Huanxiang closed his eyes. He didn't want to say that it was really ugly. He hoped that before he could no longer control his eyes, he would wear sunglasses in front of others to avoid hurting others' eyes.
"You made a big fuss at Yongchang Inn last night?" Yin Yi's voice suddenly came.
Xia Huanxiang opened his eyes, looked at Yin Yi, and retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did we make such a fuss at Yongchang Inn?"
Yin Yi said: "Isn't that what those people downstairs are talking about?"
Xia Huanxiang: "Those people downstairs? Who are they? Those diners?"
"Um."
"Of course not." Xia Huanwan denied confidently, "We are of different races. Are you sure you understand what the diners downstairs are talking about?"
Yin Yi said calmly: "The theft of Yongchang Inn has alarmed the Immortal Mansion, which has jurisdiction over this place, and is now searching the whole city. Because there are so many missing goods, the diners think it is the work of thieves. We have just listed many thieves who may have committed the crime. "
Xia Huan thought: "..." She was wrong. It turned out that he understood what the diners were talking about, and he listened to a lot.
Xia Huanxiang pondered for a moment and no longer retorted confidently, but he was still quite confident. He just changed his words and asked him: "Do you know what the sound of east and west strikes?"
Yin Yi thought for a moment and said: "You deliberately stole the goods to make them think it was a big thief, so as to delay the discovery of your true purpose."
"Smart. That's what it is."
So their real goal is this underage half-snake.
Yin Yi looked at the half-snake child, and the half-snake child looked at the buns on the table.
He had been hungry for several days and could bear it when he couldn't see the food, but once he found the food so close to him, he couldn't ignore it.
He needs to eat. If he doesn't eat, he will starve to death.
If he really starved to death...
The half-snake kid's inner defenses were getting weaker and weaker. When he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, his hand had already held a bun.
The white bread was soft and fragrant. He couldn't help it any longer and raised it directly to his mouth and took a bite.
After taking a bite, his expression was stunned.
There is no meaty taste at all in the mouth. Instead, there is an extremely unpleasant taste of wild vegetables and something else.
In short, they are all things he doesn't eat.
He subconsciously wanted to vomit, but Xia Huanxiang's voice came from behind him, "Are you sure you want to vomit? This may be your last meal."
The half-snake child: "..." It doesn't matter if you vomit, it doesn't matter if you don't vomit.
Yin Yi was so close that at a glance he saw the stuffing of the buns, all green.
vegetarian.
