Chapter 21 No Coincidence
A touch of warm texture brushed against her lips, which was the fingers holding the pastry gently.
Shen Yu paused and suddenly realized what he had done.
Although he felt regretful, he had seen strong winds and waves, and there was no fear on his face.
"It's quite sweet."
He straightened up and commented calmly.
Wen Wan: "..."
People who eat her saliva don't mind, so what else can she say.
Besides, it’s not like I haven’t been kissed before!
There is shame in being gentle, but not much.
Thinking of this, she quickly felt relieved.
However, after such a small episode, the two of them felt a little awkward and didn't speak much all afternoon.
*
The weird atmosphere lasted until the end of the meal.
Gao Ling brought a cook with him, and the cook went to a nearby town to buy some ingredients in the afternoon.
The sun sets in the west, leaving only the mottled tree shadows and the chirping of insects among the grass and trees in the suburban night.
The people from the Gao family's caravan gathered around the bonfire. Above the bonfire was the pork rib soup that the cook had been cooking for an hour.
Wen Wan received a bowl of soup and rice, and while eating, she listened to the vendors discussing their shipment to the town tomorrow.
The so-called traveling merchant means selling goods here and there, making money while traveling.
Shen Yu mingled among the merchants, using the excuse that he would accompany his wife to pay homage to his wife tomorrow, so he would not ship goods with the others.
Carrying on the family line is a big deal for every household, so no one doubts it.
After talking about business, Shen Yu walked up to Gao Ling with a paper bag.
Gao Ling had a good nose and could smell the fragrance in the paper bag.
"What are you holding?"
Shen Yu threw the paper bag into his arms and said, "Here's something to eat for you."
"He is indeed a good brother, and he even knows how to add food to me."
Gao Ling tore open the paper and her expression immediately collapsed, "Braised pig's trotters? Have you forgotten that I never eat this thing!"
Shen Yu didn't care much, "I bought everything. If you don't want to eat it... give it to other brothers."
Wen Wan had already smelled the smell and came over. Her eyes lit up when she saw the braised pig's trotters in Gao Ling's hand.
"Brother Gao, if you don't want to eat it, give it to me. I like braised pig's trotters the most."
Gao Ling was startled, "Do you like it?"
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
A shrewd businessman, Gao Ling glanced at Shen Yu who was as if nothing had happened, and then at Wen Wan who was smiling, and understood instantly.
This is not food for him. It's just someone borrowing his hand to feed the girl.
"Okay, you can take it and eat it, you're welcome."
Gao Ling looked at Wen Wan who left with her braised pig trotters contentedly, touched Shen Yu's arm with her elbow, and asked:
"I asked you, are you attracted to Zhao Xiaowan?"
Shen Yu glanced at him, "No."
Gao Ling shook his head, obviously not believing it, "I have never seen you buy food for any girl. Even if you don't admit it, brothers should say more."
Shen Yu said nothing.
Gao Ling: "Xiao Wan is a merchant's concubine. Her identity is here. It's not impossible for you to accept her into your house. After all, she is not too much in your backyard. But... don't take it too seriously."
Since ancient times, many heroes have been romantic, and they are all men. It is not an exaggeration for them to have a few confidantes.
But those who are worthy of their serious treatment must have a status that matches their status.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it's just the class concept they have been instilled in them since childhood.
When Shen Yu heard this, he didn't say anything, but just cast his eyes in Wen Wan's direction.
The heartless girl held the pig's trotters and gnawed them happily. The feeling of satisfaction permeated her body, making the whole world feel more relaxed.
"I know it well."
Shen Yu looked away and only replied lightly. *
I came to the Songzi Empress Temple again and entered smoothly this time.
In the name of Shangxiang, Shen Yu led Wen Wan around the temple and outside.
"Did you find it?"
Wen Wan shook her head in confusion, "Yesterday I clearly saw the black blue bird landing in the direction of the Empress Temple. It is impossible to find it."
Shen Yu: "Isn't this the nest of the black blue bird?"
Wen Wan thought for a moment and analyzed: "From the perspective of Feng Shui and geography, this location is the most likely place to be a cemetery, and the Black Blue Bird also landed here. The two conditions are met at the same time. I don't believe it is just a coincidence."
Shen Yu's expression was solemn, and he looked sharply at the temple in front of him again.
Suddenly, he pointed to a side hall of the Empress Temple, "What do you think that is?"
Wen Wan looked in the direction he pointed and saw a piece of navy blue feather hanging on the eaves of the side hall.
"The feathers of the bluebird!"
Wen Wan ran over quickly and raised her neck to look up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this glance, I can really tell that there is something wrong.
"Let me just say, there are not so many coincidences in the world."
Shen Yu followed her, stood beside her and looked up, but didn't see anything special.
A man who can bend and stretch, he asked in a deep voice: "Please give me some advice, madam."
Wen Wan was so excited that she didn't notice his "lady's address" and pointed to the beam above her head to explain.
"This is the Wu Qingshu."
"The craftsmen who built this Empress Temple really put a lot of thought into it. The growth habit of the black green tree is that it likes shade. Only the top will have branches and leaves, and the main trunk is bare."
"Look at this beam, starting from the base of these two walls and ending at the bottom of the window."
"If I guess correctly, looking out the window, you can see that the beams and the branches and leaves outside form a complete black green tree."
After hearing what she said, Shen Yu quickly walked to the window and looked out.
Outside the window, there are indeed dense branches and leaves of trees.
"You can even build a house?"
Shen Yu looked at Wen Wan with more and more scrutiny.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to see the ingenuity of this side hall at a glance.
Wen Wan smiled dryly, "I have studied a little bit."
"You know something about it again?" Shen Yu smiled jokingly.
Wen Wan nodded, "When dealing with people, you must be humble. Okay, while there is no one around now, I will calculate the direction of the entrance to the ancient tomb."
Shen Yu responded without disturbing her search for Longding Point.
Wen Wan picked up a branch and wrote and drew on the ground, "It's quite interesting to talk about it. Do you still remember the ruined temple where we were kidnapped by bandits last time?"
Shen Yu: "Remember. That ruined temple was also built on top of an ancient tomb. You also said at the time that the temple was built on the ancient tomb to suppress the souls of the deceased."
Hearing this, Wen Wan raised her head and glanced at him.
She gave a thumbs up, "Okay, you actually remembered what I said casually! You are worthy of becoming a school captain at a young age."
He was usually scolded by her a lot, but he was not used to being praised by her all of a sudden.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on her feet, and his face darkened.
"Don't move..."
Wen Wan was startled. She lowered her head following his gaze and saw a dark thing crawling out of a small hole at the base of the wall.
"Snake!"
Wen Wan was so frightened that she jumped three feet high and jumped directly onto Shen Yu.
She put her arms around his neck, clamped her feet around his waist, and her whole body was seamlessly attached to him.
Shen Yu's hands were faster than his thoughts, and he naturally held her buttocks.
So, the young master who had just walked to the door and led a group of pilgrims encountered an extremely "unsightly" scene.
