Ying Qingci was stunned for a moment, and then the old man spoke again.
"I live here all year round, and it's rare for people to live here."
The old man smiled and dropped a chess piece in his hand.
Although Ying Qingci didn't know him, the old man had already spoken, so she naturally couldn't refuse.
This is polite.
Moreover, this old man seems to be the owner of this place, that is to say, maybe he is the elder of the third brother? Then she can't be rude.
She walked up to the old man with the food in her hand.
When the old man saw what was in her hand, his movements froze.
Although he obviously doesn't care about food, the scent of the fish soup in the hands of this little girl always rushes into his nostrils.
Hooking him, the hand hasn't moved for a long time, and it's a little difficult to make a move.
Ying Qingci noticed his gaze, and it was indeed noon now. "Have you had lunch? If you don't mind, I made some fish soup, you can try it."
"Okay, then I won't be polite, old man."
After saying that, he raised his hand to put away the chessboard in front of him.
Ying Qingci placed the disk in his hand on one side of the table, and then helped the old man in front of him put away the chess pieces.
When her eyes fell on the chess game in front of her, she was slightly startled, but she quickly recovered.
But her subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the old man on the side, "Can you play chess?"
Ying Qingci was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand a little bit."
In her previous life, her grandfather was a master of Chinese studies, and she had learned some of it, read a lot of ancient books, and understood a lot of things.
"Then let's have a game with the old man."
As he said that, the old man actually put the chess pieces back in his hand, and not long after, they returned to their original appearance before being scattered.
"Little girl, look, is there a solution to this chess game?"
Ying Qingci's eyes fell on the chessboard in front of her, and then a smile flashed across her face. She raised her hand, picked up a chess piece, and landed it three pieces above her right hand.
When the old man saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Throw yourself to death and survive!"
Baizi was surrounded by blacks, and was lifeless before. Now that Ying Qingci's piece fell, Baizi, who was originally in trouble, found a way out again.
The road ahead is not yet clear, black and white are fighting, and the outcome is undecided.
The old man raised his head and glanced at Ying Qingci, finding that she still looked neither humble nor arrogant.
He nodded secretly in his heart, he was indeed a good boy.
"The old gentleman is very good at chess, and the little girl admires him."
After about a cup of tea, Ying Qingci looked at the old man in front of him with a smile.
"No, no."
Unexpectedly, the old man smiled at her mysteriously.
She is smart and knows how to hide her clumsiness. She is indeed a thoughtful little girl.
"Okay, let the old man have a taste of your craftsmanship."
"Old sir, please."
Ying Qingci served him a bowl of fish soup. Fortunately, when she filled the fish soup, she packed it in a can, which had a certain heat preservation effect, so it would not destroy the taste when drinking it now.
If you drink it cold, the taste of the fish soup will be greatly reduced.
The old man also took a sip from Gu Xunhe.
As the soup fell into his stomach, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this fish soup?"
"Um."
Ying Qingci nodded, "However, I added a little something to it, so the fish soup may taste different from what the old gentleman has drunk before."
Gu Xunhe shook his head, it was more than just different.
This fish soup tastes countless times better than the fish he has eaten before.
"Little girl, you don't need to call me Mr., if you don't mind, just call me Third Grandpa."
Ying Qingci was stunned, and Gu Xunhe looked at her and continued, "Yu Zhi also calls me Third Grandpa, so you can do the same."
"Third Grandpa."
A flash of satisfaction flashed in Gu Xunhe's eyes.
"Is it for the family?"
Gu Xunhe put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and the satisfaction in his stomach made him feel very good now.
He knew that Ying Qingci had found his family and brought him back to Qingheyuan today.
These soups are nourishing and presumably prepared for the family.
"Um."
"Then go quickly, it will affect the taste if it gets cold."
"Third Grandpa, I'll leave first."
"Um."
Looking at Ying Qingci's leaving figure, Gu Xunhe's eyes flashed with a faint light.
On the other side, after Ying Qingci left the pavilion, he returned to where Ying Shuangbai lived not long after.
After seeing Ying Qingci come back, Ying Shuangbai and Yang Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were new arrivals and knew no one. Although Qiuyue and Lingxu were brought by Ying Qingci, they were also strangers to them. When they came to this strange place, they would naturally feel panic in their hearts.
"Uncle, auntie."
"little six."
Sensing their nervousness, Ying Qingci sighed.
"Uncle, aunt, if something happens to you, please ask Qiuyue to find me."
"This is the medicinal diet and fish soup I made. Drink some quickly. It will be good for your body."
With that said, Ying Qingci picked up two bowls and poured a bowl for each of them.
Looking at the milky white fish soup in front of them, Ying Shuangbai and Yang Shan were a little confused.
They have eaten fish before, but the soup is not this color?
"Xiao Liu, this fish soup..."
"The fish soup is cooked in my own way, so it's different from what I've had before, but it still tastes good."
"Uncle, aunt, please have a taste."
"good."
Ying Shuangbai and Yang Shan rubbed their hands uncomfortably.
During this period of time, a steamed bun was considered a good meal for them. Now that they could smell the aroma emanating from the fish soup in front of them, they felt that their already deflated stomachs were now even deflated.
After taking a mouthful of fish soup, Ying Shuangbai and Yang Shan's eyes widened.
This soup... doesn't even have a fishy smell?
Even if there is, the thick layer of essence on the surface completely covers the fishy smell, and you won't feel the slightest fishy taste when you eat it.
After a few strokes, a bowl of fish soup entered my stomach, and my stomach felt warm all of a sudden.
After drinking it, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but a lot of the fatigue on my body was gone.
"I'll ask Qiuyue to get you some medicine later. When you're well, I'll go back and A'nai, Brother Qingheng, and the rest won't worry if they see you."
Speaking of Huang Xuecao and the others, Ying Shuangbai put down the bowl in his hand.
"Xiao Liu, are mom, dad, and the others okay?"
"Uncle, don't worry. Grandma and Grandpa are both fine. I'm just worried about you."
Speaking of this, Ying Qingci's eyes fell on them. Although he knew that he shouldn't rub salt into their wounds, he still had to ask clearly.
"Uncle, how did you and Brother Qingshu separate?"
Speaking of Ying Qingshu, Ying Shuangbai and Yang Shan's eyes flashed with sadness.
"Qingshu was missing because he wanted to make money to buy me medicine..."
However, not in Fuling County.
Yang Shan's illness was worried because of Ying Qingheng's disappearance. Ying Qingshu wanted to make money to buy medicine, but unexpectedly, he encountered refugee turmoil and was dispersed by the crowd. His whereabouts are still unknown...
