It feels like I have been delayed for a long time on the mountain, but in fact, because Du Xuan went up the mountain early, it is still morning.

She was about to make breakfast and originally wanted to ask Qi Yan what he wanted to eat. After all, he should have gone up the mountain to find her just now. Even if it was a bit unpleasant, Du Xuan also wanted to reciprocate the favor.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Qi Yan's cold eyes, and her heart suddenly became cold.

It seems that the original owner's misdeeds have had a profound impact, and this man is incapable of keeping warm.

Du Xuan sighed inwardly, didn't bother to ask him, and walked into the kitchen.

She felt a little better when she saw the chopped firewood piled neatly in a convenient place next to the stove.

Steam the chestnuts first.

Then I brushed the bottom of the pot with a little chicken oil peeled from the belly of yesterday's pheasant, picked out some moist mushrooms from the basket, wrapped them in egg liquid, and fried them until they were fragrant.

The eggs were several bird eggs she had picked up on the mountain before. They were a little smaller than eggs, but they tasted more delicious when fried.

Then add some fresh mushrooms to the stewed Shan Rui that I didn't finish last night, and put it on the stove to simmer.

After the chestnuts are steamed, peel out the soft, glutinous and sweet chestnut flesh, crush it with a stone pestle, and then roll it into small cakes with your hands.

When they came out of the kitchen, Qi Yan was still making a grass net in the yard. He didn't know whether it was intended to catch something. When he saw her coming out with food, he looked over.

Du Xuan didn't look at him, and carried the food into the room. As soon as she put down the plate, she saw the man striding into the room carrying other dishes.

Xiaobao also fumbled his way in from the door. Du Xuan carried him and put him on a chair, then she prepared to go to the kitchen to eat.

I had just taken two steps when I heard a man's deep voice asking, "Where are we going?"

"Have a meal."

"Just sit here and eat."

Du Xuan turned to look at him, and when she saw the cold look in his eyes, her wrist began to hurt slightly, and the bruises on her neck, shoulders and mouth had obviously healed.

The injuries all had the illusion of pain one after another.

"..." Du Xuan was silent for a moment. Seeing that the other party had no intention of giving up the idea, she could only say, "I can't eat it with you."

The man's thin lips were pursed tightly, and his eyebrows were twisted into a knot of displeasure. He stood up and stepped forward with a strong posture. Without giving Du Xuan any chance to refuse, he pulled her to the table and sat her down.

"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it." The man couldn't refuse easily. He paused and then added coolly, "Otherwise, who knows if you can do anything?"

Du Xuan's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Qi Yan in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

Qi Yan pursed her lips and didn't answer.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" Du Xuan asked.

Qi Yan was silent for a few seconds and said in a low voice, "Being on guard against others is essential."

He raised his eyes and stared at Du Xuan with his dark and deep pupils. The suspicion in his eyes was undisguised, "After all, you are not a good person."

Du Xuan's nose felt a little sore and her eyes felt warm.

She quickly lowered her eyes, not wanting her vulnerability to be seen.

Even though she knew that it was because of the bad things the original boss had done that she had to accept this situation by taking the blame, Du Xuan still couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

In her previous life, she was a doctor with superb medical skills. When she treated people, she was respected, admired and appreciated by others.

Her efforts can be rewarded with positive emotions from the other party.

But after she traveled through time and worked hard, she still got the other party's suspicion, hatred, and even defensive attack posture.

Du Xuan suddenly reached out and took a few pieces of food from the bowl and put them into her mouth. After chewing a few times, she swallowed them whole. Then she raised a pair of red eyes and stared at Qi Yan. Being stared at by such a pair of eyes,

Qi Yan was startled for a moment and frowned.

"Is that okay? If you are still worried and think it's poisonous, don't eat what I made and make it yourself." Du Xuan stood up and rushed out.

The man's strong hands involuntarily squeezed the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and with a click, the bamboo chopsticks broke into two pieces in his hands under the load.

Xiaobao pursed his lips and frowned tightly. He turned towards Qi Yan with a serious expression on his face, "Dad..."

He sighed softly and said, "You shouldn't say that to your mother. Last night when you were away, she had a fight with the bad guys in that house so that the food wouldn't be stolen. How aggrieved she must be if you say that to her.

."

After saying that, Xiaobao jumped off the stool holding his own small bowl and groped out of the door.

Du Xuan didn't go anywhere else. She just sat on the simple bed covered with straw in the side room, looking at the Xuan Yan Ring on her index finger, a little distracted.

Although even Xuan Yanjie came with him, Du Xuan was still a little confused.

Everything was too sudden. She didn't know where to go in the future. She was so confused in a strange world and a strange identity.

Then a small figure cautiously poked its head out of the door.

"...Mom?" Xiaobao's voice was timid, "Are you in there?"

Du Xuan raised her eyes and looked at him. The child was not sure whether she was at home, so she asked like this. If she had remained silent, the child would have gone to the kitchen and asked cautiously.

Although she has very mixed emotions towards her father.

But she couldn't be cruel to the child.

Du Xuan sighed softly, "Here, come in."

The expression on Xiaobao's face suddenly became much clearer, and he walked in immediately.

"Mom, don't be angry. Are you hungry? Let's eat." Xiaobao handed the small bowl in his hand to Du Xuan. It contained some food. He carefully protected it so that nothing was spilled.

Du Xuan's heart softened. Yes, at least Xiaobao's kindness was responded to.

The hesitation and confusion in my heart just now suddenly became much clearer.

She reached out and touched the child's face gently, and murmured to herself, "If I cure your eyes in the future, will you be willing to follow me..."

But Xiaobao didn't seem to hear it. Du Xuan curled her lips and smiled, then reached out and gently shook Xiaobao's shoulder, "I won't eat, you can eat it yourself."

She got up and left the side room. She still had a lot of things to do today.

What Du Xuan didn't know was that after she left the side room, Xiaobao stood there blankly, eyes wide.

He was blind, so his other senses were particularly sharp. She thought Xiaobao didn't hear what Du Xuan whispered just now, but in fact he did.

So at this moment, Xiaobao's expression was very shocked. Xiaobao stretched out his hand and pressed his heart, trying to stop his pounding heartbeat.

"So my eyes...can they still be cured?"

It was like a seed of hope, quietly planted.

Du Xuan didn't know this. She was so angry at what Qi Yan had just said that she had no appetite, so she simply carried a basket and filled it with a lot of mushrooms. Anyway, they would spoil easily if they couldn't finish them all.

Previously, I learned from Gui Niang and others on the mountain that her aunt Yang actually came to the village chief's house in the dark last night to ask for money. She offended the village chief's family overnight. The efficiency was simply touching.

So Du Xuan planned to visit the village chief's house and try to win over her. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this principle should apply everywhere.

As a result, as soon as Du Xuan entered the village chief's house, she was almost hit in the face with a broom and pulled out!

"Get out!"
