Jiang Yuxin glanced at the two bottles of Coke on the table and raised her head and said, "I wanted to drink coconut milk, but you didn't have any, so I just drank water."
Lan Ling'er raised her hand and said, "Pour me a glass of wine. You praised me so highly. I want to see if your wine is as good as the Bamboo Leaf Green in my Miao Village."
Ye Feng almost laughed. Bamboo Leaf Green Wine is made by soaking bamboo leaf green snakes in aged wine. It nourishes yin and replenishes yang. Most people don't dare to drink it, but Lan Ling'er has actually drunk it.
Jiang Yuxin glared at Lan Ling'er and curled her lips: "You girl are actually an alcoholic, but I warn you, don't get drunk and pretend to be crazy, otherwise I, the Star Staff, will not be polite."
Tiezhu gave Lan Ling'er a thumbs up: "Beauty, I promise that after you have a drink, you will want another one."
"I'll know after I drink it."
Tiezhu greeted them affectionately, "My grandfather is old and has a poor appetite, so he can't drink with you. I will drink a couple of glasses with you on his behalf. Thank you all for coming to this place today. It can be said that we have met by chance after thousands of miles of travel. I, Tiezhu, wish you all a pleasant journey. I'll drink first to show my respect."
After a glass of wine, Ye Feng and Lan Ling'er both showed expressions of appreciation.
"It's really a good wine. Another glass."
"Ladies, if you don't want to drink, just eat some food. We haven't prepared too much. Most of them are home-cooked meals in the countryside. If you think they taste good, eat more. If they don't suit your taste, please be more tolerant."
Jiang Yixue smiled and said, "Brother Tiezhu is so kind to prepare such a large table of food."
"Grandpa told me to make more delicious food to entertain everyone. This is a poor and remote place, and there is nothing delicious. So I went to the town and bought some mutton, beef, and vegetables. Come, try this sauerkraut mutton. It's my specialty."
Hard to refuse the kindness, at Tiezhu's urging, Ye Feng took a bite of the sauerkraut mutton. The meat was soft and delicate, with a light sour taste and the unique aroma of mutton.
Ye Feng couldn't help but nod and praise: "Tie Zhu, did you make all these dishes? They taste good, like a chef from a big hotel. Have you ever been a chef?"
Tiezhu looked a little proud: "Doctor Ye, you guessed right, I want to reward you with two more drinks. When I was young, I was a chef in town. Later, my grandfather asked me to come back and manage the Chenjiayuan Ancient House, so I stopped being a chef. Today, since you are here, I specially made my specialty."
Ye Feng clinked glasses with Tie Zhu and drank the wine in one gulp. A mellow aroma of wine rose from his throat to his brain, and an indescribable warmth rose from his lower abdomen, spreading to his internal organs and every part of his body.
"What a great wine! We are so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food and drink such good wine in a small village. Thank you, Brother Tiezhu, for preparing such a sumptuous meal for us."
Jiang Yuxin and Lan Ling'er were embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks at first. They had eaten too much greasy food at Huashan Hotel during the ancient martial arts competition. They wanted to go on a diet, but they didn't dare to eat the delicious mutton for fear of gaining weight.
Hearing Ye Feng praising the sauerkraut mutton, Jiang Yuxin and Lan Ling'er picked up a piece of mutton and savored it slowly.
“It tastes really good.”
"How about we both start losing weight starting tomorrow?"
"Good idea, the organization approved it."
Jiang Yuxin and Lan Ling'er couldn't help but pick up a few more pieces of meat and gobbled them down voraciously.
Jiang Yixue and Chen Xinyi have been eating elegantly, mostly vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian dishes made by Tiezhu are also very unique in taste and are very popular among the girls.
Wu Fei didn't eat much and spent most of his time chatting with Chen Xinyi. It was obvious that his mind was entirely on Chen Xinyi, while Chen Xinyi was indifferent and perfunctory.
After drinking half a jar of wine, Tiezhu began to feel drunk and started talking more.
He specifically warned: "Doctor Ye, tonight is June 15th, the night of the full moon. If you hear any movement in the yard, don't come out."
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your care, Brother Tiezhu. I want to see if there is really a ghost or someone is just pretending to be a ghost."
Tiezhu said with fear on his face, "Doctor Ye, I know you don't believe me, but I saw it with my own eyes. That day, I just walked out of the east wing and turned around. The Hongxiu Building, which had been dark all the time, suddenly became brightly lit. There was a figure beside the lotus pond... I was so scared that I didn't dare to look. I ran back to Fang's house and closed all the doors tightly. I could still hear Wan'er singing in the yard, but it only lasted for half an hour before Chenjiayuan returned to normal."
"I heard that all the descendants of the Chen family who stayed died mysteriously, but isn't Mr. Chen alive and well?"
"Although my grandfather's surname is Chen, he is not a descendant of Chen Fanghao. He worked for the Chen family."
"I see."
After a while, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone returned to their rooms.
Tiezhu hummed a little tune as he cleaned up the table and returned to his administrator's room. The TV volume was turned up very loud, accompanied by his deafening snoring.
Except for Jiang Yixue who felt tired and wanted to rest early, Ye Feng and the others went to Chen Xinyi's room.
Chen Xinyi and Wu Fei turned on the camera, microphone, and flashlight, ready to start the live broadcast of their evening adventure.
Jiang Yuxin asked nervously, "Sister Xinyi, aren't you afraid of going to these spooky places?"
Chen Xinyi touched the heart-shaped necklace on her neck, and a blush appeared on her pretty face: "I'm a little scared, but I have an amulet."
"Can you show it to us?"
Chen Xinyi took off the necklace and handed it to Jiang Yuxin. Jiang Yuxin and Lan Ling'er curiously opened the lid of the pendant. Inside was a golden talisman paper the size of a thumb, with a small line of Sanskrit written on it in blood-red cinnabar.
Jiang Yuxin asked suspiciously: "Is this the amulet?"
"yes."
“It’s too small.”
Others could not see any clues. They just felt that a finger-sized piece of talisman paper could at most provide some psychological comfort but could not really have a protective effect.
However, Ye Feng's short-lived divine eyes discovered something unusual and his mind suddenly moved.
There was actually a ray of golden light shining through the small piece of talisman paper, which contained at least a hundred years of Buddhist incense and vows. The line of Sanskrit was actually a kind of Buddhist formation, which sealed the incense and vows inside, and no evil things dared to approach.
That ray of golden light actually revealed a familiar feeling, and Ye Feng suddenly thought of someone.
Master Mingyue of Xuankong Temple. Ye Feng once fought a battle with Master Mingyue in the sea of consciousness on the top of Mount Huashan. The Buddha's light emanating from Mingyue was extremely similar to the golden light on this talisman.
Wu Fei shook the Buddhist beads on his wrist and said in a show-off manner: "I also have an amulet, but it is much more valuable than yours. This is a treasure I begged for from Xuankong Temple. It cost me two hundred thousand."
