Zhu Yan glanced at the dishes on the stone table, which were all his favorites, and immediately responded in frustration: "Oh—"
At this time, the old man had already sat in front of the stone table. Looking at the delicious and delicious food on the table, he swallowed hard and said, "Girl Yuanqiu, did you cook all this?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "I made it all, try it, my cooking skills are not bad!"
The old man couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly took the chopsticks placed by the table to pick up the food. Maybe he hadn't used chopsticks for a long time, and it took him several attempts to get used to it.
Looking at the old man eating, although he ate very deliciously and very quickly, he didn't look like he was gobbling up food in a hungry prison.
Even his movements were quite elegant and exuding a sense of nobility. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person before.
Zhu Yan also sat in front of the stone table. He saw that the old man had already finished a whole side of the steamed fish in front of him, and had also eaten more than half of the salted fish and eggplant. Even half of his favorite roast duck had gone into his stomach. He quickly took out an empty bowl, quickly picked up some vegetables and put them aside.
The old man was puzzled: "You don't want to eat the food, so why put it there?"
Zhu Yan pointed at Yuan Qiu who was standing aside: "You ate everything in a while, and my wife is still hungry! Do you really think that she is your cook, who only works and doesn't need to eat?"
The old man smiled and said: "Good boy, you know you care about your wife, that's good!"
Zhu Yan chuckled, stopped talking, quickly took the chopsticks and started eating, fearing that if it was too late, all the delicious food would enter the hungry old man's belly.
After the meal, the old man looked at the empty basin and the remains of the cup on the stone table, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've had such a full meal. I almost forgot what it felt like to eat."
Xia Yuanqiu asked curiously: "You don't eat on weekdays?"
The old man shook his head, pointed at the Flame Beast carcass in the courtyard, and said, "I usually eat this. If I eat too much, I'll get tired of it. Unless I take a few bites when I'm extremely hungry, I won't even look at it."
Also, if you only eat one kind of food for many years, it’s no wonder you’ll get bored!
"Can I take the liberty of asking you a question?" Xia Yuanqiu asked.
The old man's eyes flickered slightly, but he finally nodded: "Just ask!"
"Why did you suffer so much here? What is that promise you called?"
The old man frowned, shook his head and said, "You shouldn't ask these things. There are some things that it's better not to know than to know!"
"Do you know that feeling of scratching your liver and heart once your curiosity is aroused?" Xia Yuanqiu asked anxiously.
The old man looked at Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan. He was very willing to believe these two young men, but there were some things that could not be said simply because he was willing to believe them.
"I don't know much about you, but some things are very important. I hope you can understand!"
Now that he said that, it would be her fault if she continued to pursue him.
Xia Yuanqiu showed embarrassment and laughed dryly: "I was too anxious and I made it difficult for you. I'm really sorry!"
The old man waved his hand, "It's okay. If I were you, I would be curious about a strange old man like me. You are not wrong, and I am not wrong either. It's just that the time has not come yet, so I can't say anything."
Xia Yuanqiu really wanted to ask what time he was talking about, but she finally held back and silently cleared the dishes on the table.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, but the valley was still bright, and the red light emitted by the magma was dazzling in the dark night.
