Chapter 131 Emergency
"No one wants to live in poverty."
Huo Manshu sat down on the tattered sofa, and then called Li Ting, with a stern tone: "I see you are darkened. After all, I am also your eldest cousin. Is there anything that has troubled you recently? Tell me. Come out, I can help you.”
"No, there's nothing bothering me."
Li Ting didn't like to trouble others the most, so she quickly refused. She was afraid that Huo Manshu would think too much, so she explained, "I did encounter some trouble before, but now it's all gone, and I've almost solved it. ”
The three of them sat together in the shabby living room. They had nothing to say and Li Ting looked very uncomfortable.
After sitting for two seconds, she stood up and pointed to the kitchen: "You haven't eaten yet. I'm going to cook. My cooking skills are pretty good."
Huo Manshu nodded, then pointed at Mu Nan: "Let him come with you. Although I am your eldest cousin, this is the first time we have met. I am afraid that you will poison me."
Huo Manshu kept her villainous intentions on the bright side, which made Li Ting feel more relieved.
If Huo Manshu really obeyed her in everything, she would actually doubt her intentions.
Her expression also relaxed: "No problem, come with me, I just need someone to help me."
Li Ting entered the kitchen, and Huo Manshu stopped Mu Nan and took out large and small bags of ingredients from the illustrated book: "We two are not here to eat for free. You can bring these over and let her cook and eat."
Bokuo glanced at the ingredients and lowered his voice and whispered: "Master, where did you get these from? I didn't see you buying these on the way here."
And some of those ingredients look weird, like dark cuisine.
Huo Manshu had no intention of explaining to Mu Nan. She pointed to Li Ting, who was looking at the kitchen door in confusion, and said to Mu Nan:
"Just feel free to eat it for you, Li Ting is still waiting"
Mu Nan looked back, smiled awkwardly, and walked over with the ingredients.
In fact, those ingredients are some edible medicinal materials brought by Homanshu from the game world.
Although it is said to be edible, most people will not eat it because its medicinal value is greater than its edible value. Such simple cooking is a waste of resources.
Huo Manshu is not a villain who likes to take advantage. Although these medicinal materials are precious things, they are not so precious to her. She is a person who enjoys food, and eating what is in her stomach is not a waste.
Li Ting did have a foundation in cooking, and it didn't take long for the dishes to be served.
It was served by Li Ting herself.
Judging from Li Ting's expression, she seemed a little confused.
"Cousin, are your ingredients a little strange?"
Li Ting said it tactfully, but this dish can no longer be described as strange.
When she slid the dish off the pot, there was even a burst of purple smoke, which looked like a poisonous color. Fortunately, it finally came out of the pot with a normal color.
“Nothing strange, it’s something edible.”
Huo Manshu picked up a vegetable leaf with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to prove to Li Ting: "No problem."
Li Ting smiled unnaturally. Since Huo Manshu dared to eat, she couldn't say anything.
And the food smelled really weird. Apart from the weird purple smoke, she was drooling just by smelling it.
Afraid of losing her composure, Li Ting rubbed her hands and glanced at the dish, then hurried back to the kitchen.
In almost an hour, the dishes were all served, and the three of them sat around the table, staring at the delicious and delicious dishes on the table.
Huo Manshu picked up the chopsticks and found that neither of them moved. She asked strangely: "Isn't this to your liking?"
Li Ting quickly shook her head: "No, that's not the case. You eat first." She politely asked Huo Manshu to eat first. The guest didn't move his chopsticks, so she was embarrassed to eat first. Moreover, these were all things that Huo Manshu brought. Huo Manshu said nothing. She didn't dare to eat first.
Huo Manshu said oh, thinking that Li Ting was afraid that these dishes were poisonous. After tasting each one, she motioned to Li Ting to eat: "They are all healthy things."
Hearing Huo Manshu's words, Li Ting's eyes showed a little joy. This was the first time in recent times that she had eaten such good food.
The soft and waxy feeling that melted in the mouth almost made Li Ting cry.
“Delicious, so delicious.”
Li Ting was almost choked when she spoke, and regardless of any embarrassment, she rolled up her sleeves and ate.
Huo Manshu nodded happily, turned to look at Mu Nan who was still struggling, and asked with her eyes.
Mu Nan mouthed to her, "I'm just a puppet, how can I eat?"
Huo Manshu took it for granted, "You must eat with your mouth. You are no longer a puppet, you are a human being."
Because of an accident with a medicinal liquid, Mu Nan became a human being at the cost of losing his gender, and he could live like a human being.
Bokuo blinked in confusion, as if this was the case.
So he also joined the ranks of working hard.
When he looked up from his rice bowl, tears filled his eyes. The food his master brought out really tasted different.
The food was completely eaten, and everyone was holding their bellies contentedly.
It was also at this time that Li Ting truly admitted that Huo Manshu was her eldest cousin.
"Cousin, what's your name? Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
Li Ting looked at Huo Manshu with curiosity. She shouldn't have. How could such a wealthy person be her relative?
"My name is Huo Manshu. Because something happened at home, I had no choice but to come to you."
Huo Manshu said it very naturally, with no trace of disguise at all. The last doubt in Li Ting's heart was dispelled. She patted Huo Manshu on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, then we can depend on each other in the future."

After looking at the dumbfounded wooden man, Li Ting bumped Huo Manshu's shoulder and smiled ambiguously: "Is that my cousin-in-law?"
"No."
Huo Manshu directly denied it without even thinking: "He is a trustworthy friend."
Li Ting let out a disappointed sigh, and then smiled again. Although Mu Nan was good-looking, he was not good enough to match Huo Manshu, and he looked a bit like her younger brother.
Huo Manshu and Mu Nan just lived here.
The two stayed for three days as if they were on vacation.
Mu Nan didn't even know who this Li Ting was.
All I know is that Li Ting seems a little strange. She jumps off a building every night and then disappears for a while.
Mu Nan told Huo Manshu about this matter, but Huo Manshu just said lazily that she already knew and didn't reply.
At noon on the fourth day, Li Ting suddenly left in a hurry, saying that someone came to her with something urgent.
