After sitting in the courtyard for a while, after the heat all over her body was blown away by the night wind, Su Xiao finally realized that she was a little hungry.
But let alone noodles now, there is not even a single piece of wool left, so where can she find food?
While she was melancholy, suddenly a slender hand stretched out in front of her and gently put down a bamboo bowl filled with mutton soup.
Su Xiao raised her head and looked up along the white and well-jointed hand in surprise, and her eyes suddenly hit a pair of eyes that were darker than the night.
Seeing Su Xiao's extremely surprised expression, Song Zeyi pursed his lips, rolled up his sleeves and was about to leave.
This little village girl was probably having convulsions again. He kindly snatched a bowl of noodles from the mouths of those hungry wolves and gave it to her. She was not grateful and did not say anything. Instead, she felt as if she had seen a ghost. What kind of logic is this?
"Hey, wait, what, thank you very much!" Su Xiao's mind just turned around now. Seeing that the villain was about to leave without saying a word, Su Xiao quickly raised her voice to thank him.
"Have you eaten? There is really a lot of these, why not give you half?" Su Xiao thought about it and said a little embarrassed.
She could guess without asking that with Song Zeyi's pretentious temperament, he would never be like those young people who rush to grab noodles regardless of their image.
This bowl was probably sent to him by Zhu Ying, but he didn't eat it but kept it for himself. He was so generous, so he had to express his gratitude before saying so!
Hearing the crisp voice behind him, Song Zeyi paused, turned around in silence for a moment, walked to the table and sat down.
"Wait a minute, I'll find a clean bowl!" He said casually, and the villain actually gave him face like this. After Su Xiao realized it, he ran away quickly!
Her good life depends entirely on this golden thigh, and she must take good care of him!
After a while, she came back with clean dishes and chopsticks. Then she only took out a small handful of noodles, poured a little soup, and left most of it for the villain.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while." She said, holding the bamboo bowl and taking a sip of the soup first.
After drinking the warm mutton soup, her stomach and intestines were immediately soothed. Su Xiao sighed happily and ate the noodles with relish.
Seeing that she was eating well, Song Zeyi followed her example and took a sip of the soup first, and then started to eat slowly.
The two of them were concentrating on eating noodles and did not notice that the group of young people who had been noisy just now suddenly fell silent collectively.
"Brother, master and Miss Su, are they really...the ones?" A young man couldn't restrain his curiosity and quietly asked Zhuying.
"What do you think?" Zhuying did not answer, but put on an unusually deep expression and asked.
The young man chuckled and winked at the bamboo shadow clearly.
"Master is really lucky. I wonder how many delicious things I will be able to eat in the future..." Another young man licked his lips, his voice full of heartfelt envy.
"What are you talking about? You know how to eat every day," Zhuying slapped him on the back of the head. "Miss Su is good at medicine and business. Do you think she is a cook?"
Seeing Zhuying's revelation, everyone gathered around with a sly smile, urging Zhuying to talk more.
Zhu Ying had long been a big fan of Su Xiao. He didn't dare to talk too much about his master, but he told You Yong Ying many of Su Xiao's glorious deeds.
"Really, Miss Su knows martial arts?"
"We have never seen such a capable girl in the capital. Do you think so?"
While everyone was talking about it, they all turned their attention to the two people who were sitting side by side eating.
Well, if nothing else, my master's beauty is also famous in the capital, but this girl Su is also exceptionally beautiful, and her appearance alone is enough to match her!
Now the two of them are just eating noodles there, and they can both feel a sense of affection. From now on, the position of mistress will probably belong to Miss Su!
Su Xiao didn't realize that countless meaningful glances were secretly cast on her and Song Zeyi. She had just finished the last noodle and put down her chopsticks with satisfaction.
"Thank you so much for your help today. When the herbs are delivered, I will share the profit with you 20% as usual."
Su Xiao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then turned around and said to Song Zeyi sincerely.
"The people in the drug stores in the capital are very harsh. Do they really want the things you found?" Song Zeyi did not respond, but instead raised the question that had been bothering him.
The things Su Xiao had dug up before were all genuine and good things. The two century-old ginseng trees were planted by him with his own eyes, and there is still one under his eaves!
But this time, what his people brought were all seedlings of medicinal herbs. There were some ginseng, but they were barely thicker than chopsticks. What use could they be used for?
"Ah, that's..." Su Xiao was stunned by his question, stuttered, and secretly screamed: "I'm sorry!"
Probably because she has become too familiar with the villain recently, why did she forget such an important thing!
So far, she has used potions to ripen the medicinal materials before bringing them back. Naturally, Song Zeyi didn't know that what she dug out were just seedlings!
She will deliver the goods in a few days. If Song Zeyi asks to see it, the secret will be revealed!
Damn it, if the villain really found out that she was capable of "witchcraft" and could undergo a major transformation in just a few days, wouldn't he think she was a monster and tie her to the fire and burn her?!
"Ahem, actually, you don't know," Su Xiao's brain ran for a few times, and she finally made up a reason in time, "There is a herb collector living in seclusion in the mountains, and all my treasures were bought from him.
…”
"That's right, that's it!" She clapped her hands excitedly, her voice rising a lot unconsciously.
Song Zeyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lidya Su, who looked uncomfortable and had a stiff smile.
What she said... was somewhat reasonable. He had guessed that she had an expert master before, but now he was right.
So those precious medicinal materials were grown by her master, but she just didn't want to come forward to deal with people, so she pretended to be "picked" by Su Xiao in the mountains?
However, why did this little village girl feel so guilty? Her last words didn’t seem to be convincing him, but rather she seemed to be convincing herself!
"...That man has a weird temper. If you buy his medicinal materials, you must send him another batch. Of course, the year doesn't matter, just make sure they are alive!"
After saying that, Su Xiao unconsciously wiped away her sweat and said, "I finally got this lie right!"
She raised her eyes and secretly looked at Song Zeyi's expression. Well, it was still the same as usual, cold and expressionless. This made her look like a ghost?!
Su Xiao secretly sighed in worry, feeling guilty that his scrutinizing eyes were particularly sharp today, as if he could see through her at any time!
