Chapter 279 Stone Wind Village 1
With a 'clatter,' the chopsticks in Ji Lingfeng's hand fell to the ground.
At the doorway, with a 'thump,' He Yu and He Wu almost knelt down as well.
He Wu steadied himself. Something had happened to his master!
He anxiously pulled He Yu along, wanting to go in and help Ji Lingfeng.
Before he could even take a step, He Yu snatched it away.
That's right, just as he stood up, He Yu picked him up and quickly left the spot.
"Heyu, you'd better give me an explanation..." The voice drifted further and further away.
"Brother Ji, I think I heard some noise at the door."
Ji Lingfeng remained expressionless. "No, you must have misheard."
"Really?" Shen Cao was still uneasy, so she got up and went to the door to take a look.
There is indeed nothing.
Could it be that she really misheard?
After rinsing the chopsticks clean, Shen Cao thought for a moment, then moved a stool and sat down next to Ji Lingfeng.
Why is my older brother's health getting weaker and weaker this season? He could eat by himself yesterday, but today he can't even hold chopsticks.
She had heard a saying before that the healthier a person is, the less likely they are to get sick.
However, even a single illness can be very serious.
Is Brother Ji like that too?
It seems I'll have to go to Wan'an Hall later and ask the doctor to prescribe some tonics so that Brother Ji can get some nourishment before he leaves.
Ji Lingfeng happily enjoyed Shen Cao's attentive service; all he had to do during the meal was open his mouth.
Shen Cao took very good care of him, which made him feel even more that his decision was quite wise.
After finishing her meal, Shen Cao thoughtfully picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
After wiping, Shen Cao realized that she had mistaken Ji Lingfeng for her old kitten.
In her past life, she had a kitten. When the kitten was sick, she was the one who fed it water, medicine, and food.
After feeding, wipe its mouth clean with a clean tissue.
Just now, Ji Lingfeng didn't seem to resist. Shen Cao raised her hand and looked at her fingers. Just now, through the handkerchief, Ji Lingfeng's lips felt soft and warm.
Oh! She quickly shook her head, wondering what she was thinking.
Someone like Ji Lingfeng is not someone I can even dream of!
In Shifeng Village...
As Dongfang Ming strolled through Shifeng Village, he realized that his residence was in the backyard of the village.
This place is mainly used to store miscellaneous items from the village.
The people in Shifeng Village don't live here.
Therefore, he didn't encounter anyone along the way.
When he arrived last night, he didn't think there was anything special about Shifeng Village.
When I saw it during the day today, I realized that this place is indeed a great place.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the village is accessible only by a hidden path.
There are also sentry posts at the entrance of the village. As soon as an outsider appears, even if he is still far away from the village, the people at the sentry post can spot him.
Their backyard was surrounded by cliffs on all sides, so not only could they not get in, but they could only leave through the village.
If the villagers wanted to do something to them, they were powerless and had nowhere to escape.
Unless you grow wings and jump off the cliff.
No wonder Chief Sun didn't have anyone watch over them after he had them brought here yesterday.
It's not that we trust them, but rather that once they're inside, dealing with them is like catching a turtle in a jar.
No wonder.
Haha, the more I look at him, the more I feel like I've come to the right place.
This place is perfect as his base of operations.
He looked at the ground beneath his feet, a greedy expression on his face.
"Young Master Chen, we've finally found you. The chieftain invites you!" Tiger said to him expressionlessly.
Dongfang Ming sized up the man in front of him. This man was very strong, even stronger than the most powerful warrior in their Great Qing Kingdom.
Surprisingly, Chief Sun has such a skilled fighter by his side, and more importantly, this fighter is extremely loyal to Chief Sun.
"Brother, how should I address you?" Dongfang Ming asked with a smile, trying to get closer to him.
The tiger remained expressionless. "Tiger!"
Dongfang Ming did not back down because of his indifference, and continued to make conversation with great enthusiasm.
"Tiger? Brother, that's a really imposing name! Tigers are the king of beasts, so you must be pretty powerful too!"
After saying that, he tried to touch the tiger's hard muscles, but was glared at and stopped.
Dongfang Ming reluctantly withdrew.
"Young man, you don't look very old. Were you born in this village?"
"Your village is really nice..."
The tiger walked ahead, and Dongfang Ming followed behind, asking questions as he went, but the tiger never answered.
After a while, the two arrived at the center of the village, where there were more people.
The village center was bustling with activity, with stalls selling various goods lining both sides.
Strangely, the villagers showed no curiosity whatsoever about who Dongfang Ming was standing next to the tiger, as if he didn't exist at all.
They didn't even glance at him.
The two walked a few more steps, and suddenly, the tiger stopped and looked to a jewelry stall to his right.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't!" He said coldly without turning his head.
Dongfang Ming curiously followed his gaze.
There were several girls in front of the stall, the one in the lead being the tallest and best dressed.
The jewelry she was wearing on her head looked like the one she had given me yesterday.
Her face, which wasn't very fair, resembled that of a young lady from a wealthy family. She had a few pearls on her lips, and even the color of her lipstick was very unsuitable for her, but it was the most fashionable lipstick color at the time.
Her facial features could only be described as regular, not particularly beautiful, and coupled with her inappropriate attire, she looked rather ugly.
She was showing off her jewelry to the people around her.
"Miss Sun, your jewelry is really beautiful."
Sun Guixiang said proudly, "Of course, my father just gave it to me yesterday. He specially asked someone to buy the most fashionable style from the capital."
"They are unique in the entire Great Xia Kingdom; they don't even have a princess."
Sun Guixiang was Sun Chuang's only daughter. For some reason, although he had many women, he only had one child, Sun Guixiang.
Over the years, he married one woman after another, but none of them could bear him a child.
Therefore, he doted on his only daughter.
There's nothing interesting about girls showing off to each other.
Dongfang Ming turned to look at the tiger and saw a hint of shyness on his usually cold face.
Interesting, this tiger seems to like the girl in the lead.
Noticing someone watching him, the tiger withdrew his gaze. "Hurry up and leave, the chieftain is still waiting!" He reverted to his previous cold demeanor.
It seems that the hint of shyness that Dongfang Ming just saw was his imagination.
