Chapter 270: Sharpening The Knife
Bang bang bang——
There was the sound of chopping firewood not far away, and the sound of the ax falling heavily was like a hammer of death, hitting everyone's chests one after another. The murderous intent that filled the air was gathering towards them little by little. Come.
Between the sound of hammers, there is also the sound of sharpening knives.
Because they are strong men at a high level, their hearing is naturally easier than ordinary people. Even if the man made the sound of water and hammers mixed in, the two of them could still clearly hear the masked sounds.
"Isn't he going to hurt us?"
Bai Ze squinted his eyes, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Even a mere mortal dares to make mistakes in front of him.
It snorted softly, raised its claws and prepared to kill towards the kitchen, but as soon as it started, it was stopped by Lin Yuan.
Bai Ze was a little annoyed.
"Why are you stopping me?"
"What can you do? Kill him, and then what? Cause chaos in their village? And then, do you have to just drive them all away and kill them all before it's over?"
"Otherwise?" Bai Ze confidently put his hands on his hips, not feeling there was anything wrong with his actions, "They are evil people, and I killed them to rid the world of trouble."
"Have you ever thought about it, these people in front of you are just a small part of the cannibal tribe. As far as I know, most of them are in the north of northern Xinjiang. Is it possible that you also want to eradicate those people?"
"If you can, why not? Isn't it just a matter of convenience?"
"Have you forgotten that there was an agreement between the secular world and the spiritual world that the two cannot interfere with each other. If you break this agreement, a war will occur between the two parties. Even the empress will not be able to protect you."
When Bai Ze heard this, he shrank his neck, rolled his eyes in a circle, and then said angrily: "I'm just saying it...why do you still take it seriously..."
While she was muttering, the man shouted outside.
"Sir, girl, the food is ready, you can come out and eat!"
"good!"
Lin Yuan responded first, then looked at Luo Qinghan, and said with some worry: "I don't know what he will put in it, or what tricks he will play."
Luo Qinghan immediately saw through Lin Yuan's thoughts.
"Aren't you the best at acting? Why are you asking me now?"
Lin Yuan, who was exposed by Luo Qinghan, just smiled and stretched as if nothing had happened, "I didn't expect you to see all this."
"Okay, okay, let's go out quickly. If we go out late, it will inevitably make him suspicious."
"knew."
Lin Yuan yawned and walked out with weak steps.
The man waited outside the door for a while, but the two people inside the house still didn't come out. Just when he thought the two people inside the house had already escaped, when he was about to step forward to find out what was going on, the door that was originally closed suddenly suddenly It opened.
With a creak, the door opened.
Lin Yuan, who had just walked out, met the eyes of the man who was about to go in. The atmosphere was very awkward for a time.
Lin Yuan looked at the man with a half-smile.
"What are you going to do?"
The man's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately panicked and quickly made amends for his impolite behavior.
"Then what... I just called you for a long time, but you didn't come out to eat. I was wondering if you were embarrassed, so I came over to call you. Who knows, I just wanted to knock on the door, but two people The bit came out.”
"I see, we were discussing something inside just now, but now that we were talking, we actually forgot about the time."
"If we can agree on the deal, let's go out to eat something first. After all, this freshly baked food won't taste good if it's cold."
Lin Yuan took over the mistake.
"It's all our fault. Please come and call us."
The man waved his hand quickly.
"No, no, these are just easy things. Young hero, don't make such a fuss."
…
Several people declined each other and finally came to the yard.
A large basin of rice bran porridge was placed on the simple dining table, along with several side dishes for porridge, and on each plate was a piece of yellow steamed bun.
The man scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Don't be offended, you guys. It's just the beginning of spring. These are all the leftover food from last year. There really isn't anything good to entertain you."
"It's okay, we don't mind it, just eat some."
Lin Yuan led Luo Qinghan to sit down, then took out some broken silver from his pocket and handed it into the man's hand.
"Be careful, don't dislike Shao."
"This...how does this make..." The man quickly pushed his hand back, "It's too much, I can't have it."
Lin Yuan didn't care and directly put the thing in his hand.
"No matter how much I give you, it's just my thoughts. If you don't accept it, we won't be able to eat this meal."
The man glanced hesitantly, then put the broken silver into his arms.
"Okay...thank you young hero."
"It's me who should thank you. You helped us prepare food." Lin Yuan took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, took a few bites of side dishes and put them into his mouth.
The side dishes are salty and spicy, but they are well marinated and have a bit more refreshing taste in your mouth.
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, "It's delicious! You should eat it quickly!"
With that said, Lin Yuan wolfed down a few more mouthfuls of porridge, and most of the bowl of porridge was completely gone.
After the man glanced at Lin Yuan, he turned his attention to Luo Qinghan.
"Girl, the food is not to your liking?"
Luo Qinghan shook his head, "No."
Then, Luo Qinghan picked up the porcelain bowl in front of her and ate the food in the bowl in small bites. Compared to Lin Yuan's voracious eating, Luo Qinghan's eating style was extremely gentle, even if she ate the food in the bowl. The food was rice bran porridge, but if outsiders didn't know better, they would have thought that she was eating some kind of delicacy from the mountains and seas, and she could eat it without changing her expression.
After all, rice bran is astringent and will be very jarring when it falls into the throat. Looking at the identities of Lin Yuan and Luo Qinghan, neither of them seem to be people who know how to eat this food.
The man looked at the two of them deeply. After seeing that they both had eaten, the corners of his mouth quietly raised a curve, and then he started eating the food in front of him.
Tick tock.
A few drops of water seeped out from the well in the courtyard and fell into the deep well, making a falling sound, as if recording the passage of time in nature, setting off the tranquility here.
The sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks mingled together, as if they were enjoying themselves.
Suddenly, there was a "boom".
The bowls and chopsticks in the hands of Lin Yuan and Luo Qinghan seemed to be unsteady. They all fell to the ground with a few clatters and shattered into pieces. All the contents inside were spilled on the ground.
And the two of them seemed to have lost consciousness. With two "dong" sounds, they lay on the table and never got up.
