"Okay, wait a moment."
As she spoke, Gulan walked to the willow basket placed against the wall and take out all the remaining vegetable cakes in it, there were about twenty of them. After thinking for a while, he picked up a bowl of pickled shredded radish and took it out as well.
She handed it to the man in black and said, "It will taste better if you roast it over the fire."
Zhu Yi looked at the bread in the basket. It was indeed made of fine grains, white and plump, with shredded radish. Although it didn't look good, the smell was quite fragrant. He nodded at Gulan, took out a piece of silver and handed it forward, then turned and went back to the bedroom opposite.
Thinking of the two taels of silver in her hand, Gulan twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking that she had made a small profit. When taking the pickled vegetables, there was a moment when Gulan really wanted to poison them, but unfortunately she had everything in her space except poison. However, even if there were, I'm afraid they wouldn't take it in the end. These people are obviously from the underworld, very experienced, and probably cautious about eating.
Just as Gulan thought, Zhu Yi, who came into the room with dry food, did prick all the dry food with a silver needle, even the shredded radish and pickled vegetables were not spared.
"No problem," Zhu Yi said. Although I know there is no problem, I have always been cautious, so I still want to check it out.
The Great Protector Wu nodded, and then everyone couldn't wait to take the cakes and roast them on the fire. It's true that the pancake in his hand was really good. It became soft as soon as it was baked on the fire. It was not hard at all in the mouth and had a hint of sweetness. It was much better than the white flour buns they ate. They quickly finished more than twenty pancakes and a bowl of vegetables. With food in their stomachs, they finally felt better.
"Let's go out and make sure there are no suspicious people outside." The Great Protector Wu who had kept his eyes closed after eating suddenly spoke, exuding a terrifying aura involuntarily.
Zhu Yi quickly turned to face the Great Protector respectfully, and went over the several people he had seen before in his mind. They were all ordinary people, and he didn't find them suspicious. Wait, he almost forgot about the tall man. His height and build were somewhat similar to the target they were looking for, so he couldn't help but take another look at him. Unfortunately, the firelight was too dim and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Thinking of this person, Zhu Yi said: "Great Protector, there is nothing suspicious about him, but..."
"But what?" The Great Protector opened his eyes.
"However, one of them was very similar in height to our target, but the light was too dim and our men didn't see him clearly."
Hearing this, a dark light flashed in the Great Protector's eyes. The target person's height is outstanding among the crowd and is one of his most conspicuous features. None of them can match him. They hadn't found the target for such a long time, and they had thought that the man might have changed his appearance, but there was no way to hide the feature of changing his height, and this was one of the few clues they had.
"Let's take another look," said the Great Protector. Just based on the height it was worth a closer look.
"Yes," Zhu Yi obeyed the order. When he turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by the Great Protector.
"Wait, let's go together." As he spoke, he stood up, and the others stood up as well. Since the guardians had moved, it was impossible for them to stay sitting down.
Although Zhu Yi was always steady and cautious in doing things, the fact that that person had not been heard from for such a long time showed that he was cunning. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Great Protector still decided to go and take a look in person. No problem, everyone will be happy. If there is a problem, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is finally found without any effort.
Then the bedroom door was opened again, and a group of more than ten people appeared at the door, approaching the people around the fire. This posture seemed to indicate that the person was here with ill intentions. Seeing this, Gulan and Old Man Li stood up again, their eyes full of vigilance. As the only elderly person in the crowd, although Old Man Li felt uneasy, he still stood up.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"It's nothing. I just thought the guy behind looked familiar, so I wanted to come over and take a closer look." It was still Zhu Yi who spoke, his tone as steady as ever, his eyes fixed on the tallest man in the crowd.
Following the black-clothed man's gaze, Old Man Li's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at the man opposite him with a wrinkled face in confusion and said nervously: "I'm afraid you are seeing things. How could there be any acquaintances among us?"
Old man Li knew in his heart that no matter whether Jin boy was the person they were looking for or not, in the eyes of these people they were all in the same group, and it was impossible for them to stay out, so he had to dispel their suspicions.
"Don't be nervous, old man. You'll know whether it's true or not once you see it." While speaking, Zhu Yi took a few steps forward, but was stopped by Brother Li and his men. Gulan did not move.
"Why should you see our people?" Li Da looked at Zhu Yi coldly, but he knew in his heart that the identity of the Jin brothers was indeed suspicious. If they really found out something, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Zhu Yi glanced coldly at the man who was shouting in front of him, and gently pushed him with his hand. Without much force, Li Da staggered and was held by Gulan.
Holding Li Da who wanted to step forward to continue arguing, and pulling Old Man Li behind her, Gulan took a step forward with a flattering smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, my eldest brother is a rough guy who doesn't know anything. Please don't bother with him." As she spoke, she pulled Xiang Yunjin to the front, inadvertently pushing Li Er and the others behind her.
"If you want to see it, go ahead. But my brother may not look very appealing, so I hope you can be mentally prepared." When talking about being unpleasant, Gulan had an indescribable expression on her face, but she faced the group of men in black calmly.
Gulan's arrival dispelled some of the doubts in Zhu Yi and the others' minds.
Xiang Yunjin had been restraining his aura, and when these people appeared, he acted inferior and cowardly, with his head lowered and his back slightly hunched. This humble appearance was so different from the person in the portrait that Zhu yi and his group didn't have much hope, but they still wanted to take a look.
"Please raise your head" Zhu Yi said in a relatively friendly manner.
But the man seemed not to hear it. Instead, he lowered his head and shrank his body.
Seeing this, Zhu Yi and his group were immediately displeased.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this kid has low self-esteem and doesn't dare to look at people." Gulan quickly apologized, then pulled Xiang Yunjin, "Don't be afraid, raise your head, these warriors just want to take a look."
Perhaps the white-faced man's words worked, and the man in black saw the tall man with disheveled hair raise his head timidly. As if he was afraid of seeing disdainful looks, he only raised his head for a few breaths and then quickly lowered it.
Even though they were mentally prepared, Zhu Yi and the others still had their eyes flickering when they saw him. No wonder he felt inferior, he was really extremely ugly.
The Great Protector Wu stared at the long-haired man with dark eyes and took a step forward, wanting to get a closer look. It was because he was so ugly that he became a little suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence that such an ugly person could be so tall?
