When the two of them approached, the woman suddenly realized their existence.
"Hey - Erya, Sanya, when did you wake up? You must be hungry. Wait for your mother to cook for you... Be careful not to step on it or touch it. Erya, take care of your sister..."
Jasmine held onto the back collar of Xiaolan's clothes tightly, followed behind "Mom" and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
The woman's back visibly stiffened for a second.
"What could happen? Why did you kid suddenly ask that... If something happens, it has nothing to do with you two. You two can just play with each other."
Jasmine was not satisfied with this answer and asked like a follower, "Then why did you drop the bowl?"
The woman stopped talking to the two of them and started chopping vegetables.
After a while, breakfast was ready, and the man walked out of the room. The two girls in the photo looked more like their father. The man was tall and strong, with gentle eyes. He looked at his wife and daughter with eyes full of smiles.
Although his name is Huo Meng, he is a gentle person who loves his family.
"Xia Meng, I heard that you spent the night with Xiaoqiu last night."
When the four of them sat neatly at the dining table, the man asked Jasmine with a smile.
Jasmine reacted for a moment and then realized that Xia Meng and Xiao Qiu should be their names.
"Well..." Jasmine was obviously very hungry. She stuffed a big mouthful of food into her mouth and said inarticulately, "She said she was scared."
Xiaolan pulled Jasmine under the table and signaled her to get down to business, but Jasmine was completely defeated by a table of sumptuous hot food, which stunned both her parents.
"Three girls, why don't you eat it?" "Mother" said, picking up a piece of pie and putting it on Xiaolan's plate, "Don't you like to eat the freshly fried Chuncai pie the most?"
Xiaolan quickly agreed, picked up the pie and stuffed it into her mouth.
His eyes suddenly glowed.
Jasmine pointed to Xiaolan with her eyes, "Yes, yes, I'm not exaggerating."
So delicious!
Jasmine, a girl from a wealthy family, was amazed at the deliciousness of this food, let alone Xiaolan, who had never eaten any delicacies.
Chuncai pie, shrimp wontons, sweet but not greasy red date almond sponge cake, spring bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms mixed with pepper oil, egg paste and potatoes...
Xiaolan immediately understood Jasmine's reaction, and the two of them almost stuffed their faces into the plates as if they had never seen rice before.
Father and mother were slightly stunned and couldn't help but push the food in front of them.
"What's wrong with this child? Is he hungry?"
"Mom..." Xiaolan muttered a few words, "It's so delicious..."
Jasmine nodded wildly.
Mother looked at Xiaolan, then at Jasmine, with a hint of blush on her cheeks.
"It's not like I just realized that your mother's cooking is delicious," Dad smiled fondly, "What happened today? What did you two sisters talk about last night?"
Dad quickly stopped Xiaolan's little hand from grabbing the third piece of pie and said, "Hey, Xiaoqiu can't eat any more. If you eat any more, you'll burst."
Xiaolan then remembered that she was only a four or five-year-old child, and her appetite was really scary. She retracted her chopsticks angrily and found that her belly was already round.
Jasmine also reached her limit, and the two reluctantly took a few bites of mixed vegetables before putting down their chopsticks.
Now that I'm full, it's time to solve the problem.
"Mom," Xiaolan chirped to her mother who stood up to put away the dishes, "Did something happen in the village?"
"Crack!"
There was another crisp sound.
The white porcelain fragments flew away, and Xiaolan felt terribly distressed as she watched the uneaten corn and pine nuts on the plate scattering all over the floor.
"What...what nonsense is this child talking about?" Dad's face turned red and white, and he forced out a nervous smile, "What could happen...Besides, why are you, a four-year-old child, interfering with adults' affairs?
"
Alas, it turns out that I had overestimated, and I was four years old, not five.
Jasmine lowered her head and said nothing. This was not the time for her to interrupt.
"I heard a lot of noise outside the window," Xiaolan pointed innocently to her room, "I also saw them passing by outside. It's so early."
"Who are they?" Mom suddenly became alert, "Who did you see?"
"Those two people..." Xiaolan gestured according to the clothing style in Master Fengmu Qiuyuan's house in her memory, "long robes, black, all black, they passed by very early..."
After hearing this, my mother glanced at Jasmine twice, but Jasmine pretended not to see it.
"Did Xia Meng see it too?" Dad frowned and asked Jasmine first.
"Ah?..." Jasmine glanced at Xiaolan uncertainly, "I...didn't see it. I was fast asleep. Maybe I was sleeping at the time."
The parents breathed a sigh of relief and began to continue what they were doing.
Their parents seemed more worried about Fengmu Qiuyuan and Xia Meng than having their secrets leaked.
"They were so noisy... they seemed to be looking for something," Xiaolan continued, "I was woken up, but my sister was sleeping really deeply."
The two of them talked casually and did not get any effective clues. Xiaolan and Jasmine walked back to the third girl's room under the surprised eyes of their parents.
"It's not that there is no gain at all," Jasmine said in a low voice as soon as she entered the room, "In their eyes, the relationship between the second girl and the third girl is not actually close. Have you noticed?"
Xiaolan nodded and added, "There is also the relationship between Er Yatou and Master Fengmu Qiuyuan."
Speaking of Fengmu Qiuyuan, Jasmine looked up at the wall clock and said quickly, "If the trajectory of the incident remains unchanged, Fengmu Qiuyuan will return to the old house through this road after checking the body."
It was already half past ten after breakfast. In order to avoid the errors in the two worlds from affecting the plan, the two of them hurriedly changed their clothes and hid by the old tree in the backyard to wait.
Jasmine was still a little nervous, panting slightly and asked Xiang Xiaolan, "I...should I carve that name? Do I want to talk to the real Qiuyuan?"
"What are girls afraid of?" Xiaolan patted Jasmine on the shoulder, "I'm still there. If you get cold feet, I'll answer the call. I'm not afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, three black figures appeared at the end of the dirt road in the distance.
It should be to seek sources from every tree, and Lao Liu.
When a few people came closer and saw clearly, Xiaolan and Jasmine were really shocked for a second.
Are Fengmu and Qiuyuan men?!
Although I was shocked, all the explanations made sense.
He is widely favored by girls and gets shy looks from Qiuyuan wherever he goes. He is indeed a man.
Men, men.
Xiaolan tried her best to recall that she didn't do anything strange last time.
Unexpectedly, the three of them approached in their own direction.
"Carve...carve a word," Jasmine hurriedly picked up the stone, "I don't have enough time, why don't I carve a word with the meaning first?"
At this time, the three people in the distance seemed to notice them.
"Master Qiuyuan, this is the second girl of the Huo Meng family... her name is..."
The young man raised his hand to interrupt Lao Liu's words, and said with a smile, "No need for this one, I know this one."
