Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Second Master's Secret

"Brother Ling, Le Allure, take care all the way" Chu Yun'er smiled and said goodbye to Ling Chuyun and Le Chengcheng. I'm sorry for calling Le Allure by name, she's used to it. And Le Chengcheng laughed helplessly, complaining to Ling Chuyun that Chu Yun'er favored one over the other, calling him eldest brother, but calling him by his name.

"Chu Rou, you have to take care of yourself, I remember what you said, I will go to you" Chu Yun'er gently wiped away the tears on Ling Churou's face and comforted. In fact, she also planned to do so in her heart, leaving here to take the second master and Hongyu to travel all over the country, all over the world, and go to see them by the way.

"Okay," Ling Churou choked up.

"Your vision is good" Chu Yun'er's eyes drifted towards Le Chengcheng, blinking mischievously, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ling Churou glanced at Le Chengcheng, who was suddenly alert, her cheeks flushed, and she glared at Chu Yun'er coquettishly. The two girls laughed in understanding.

Seven more days have passed since Ling Chuyun and the others left, and the former calm has been restored here, and there are no zombies to disturb it for the time being. The weather suddenly turned cold, the north wind howled, the snow fell, and overnight, the sky and the earth were white.

Chu Yun'er didn't go out hunting these days, she could only stay at home, her clothes were not warm enough, she could only curl up in the quilt, she leaned on the second master's chest and told over and over again about the troubles she had when she was a child, the interesting things in school, and the strange anecdotes she encountered when she went out with her brother, although the second master couldn't respond, she always looked at her with a smile, but she always felt that the second master could understand.

Sometimes she would sit at the door with Hongyu in her arms, watching the snowflakes fluttering, smelling the fragrance of red plums, and watching Hongyu run happily on the pure white snow. The owner of the wooden house still hasn't come back, and Chu Yun'er wants to leave here after a while, when spring comes.

In the evening, the second master sent braised chicken again, and a few meat buns were attached, maybe these foods were brought from far away, and when the second master handed them over to Chu Yun'er, the buns had been cold and hard into stones.

Some time ago, he followed Ling Chuyun and Le Chengcheng to learn martial arts, Chu Yun'er forgot about this stubble, the second master's boots were clean, it was impossible for him to go out and steal things and come back, so how did this food come from?

Chu Yun'er slept well during the day, and lay on the bed at night, pricking up her ears to listen to the movements outside, but she always couldn't resist the sleepiness and slept until dawn, missing the opportunity to spy on the second master's secrets.

The second master seems to be to make up for the vacancy that she didn't give gifts some time ago, Chu Yun'er wakes up every morning, and there will be a lot of gifts in front of her, full of tricks, no longer just braised chicken meat food, pastries, buns, fruits, braised fish, rice, sugar gourds and some mountain and sea delicacies that Chu Yun'er can't eat, etc., as long as it can be eaten, only what you can't think of, there is nothing that the second master can't find.

One morning, the second master gave her a jar of unopened wine, the mouth of the altar was tightly sealed with yellow oiled paper, and she smelled a pure fragrance before opening it, but unfortunately she never drank white wine, so she couldn't taste the quality of the wine, so that the red jade who smelled the fragrance of wine was hungry and drooled. Unable to resist Hongyu, who had been pestering, Chu Yun'er opened the jar, Hongyu drank two teacups, then staggered back to his nest, and slept for two days before waking up.

Once the second master also gave her a food box, which was made of bamboo, multi-layered, with beautiful bamboo branches and peony flowers depicted on the outside, a few plates of very delicate pastries inside, and a few dishes of cold side dishes, and a bowl of unknown soup was all splashed in the food box, and there was nothing left. Chu Yun'er was an eye-opener, and it was estimated that this food box was robbed in the inner courtyard of a large family.

What's even more outrageous is that the second master also gave her a pipe, the black jade material, smooth and translucent, it looks like an antique, if it is brought to modern times, it is estimated to be a priceless treasure, Chu Yun'er can only sigh gently.

In short, Chu Yun'er is now able to taste all kinds of delicacies from the north and south of the country without leaving home, and the food given to her by the second master is no longer just wrapped in butter paper like before, and the food sent later is packed with bowls, and the firewood room is full of all kinds of plates, plates, bowls, basins, and steamers, even if you prepare a table full of Han people, there is no shortage of tableware.

Chu Yun'er didn't know that since the second master discovered the changeable laws of human eating, he instructed the armor to order the little zombies under his command to take a certain amount of time to search for various delicacies of humans every day after cultivating, and regularly hand them over to the armor, and the armor decided whether to offer delicacies next time according to the rarity of the food.

Zombies with no sense of taste have no way of judging what is food, so they can only hide on the eaves and peek at what humans touch their lips, remember what the food looks like, and then steal the food they target the next time humans eat. It is conceivable that the little zombie who stole the pipe can be said to be very proud, not only showed off in the envious eyes of his companions, but also was allowed by the armor to practice wholeheartedly for three days, without having to pay for food, and later the second master saw Chu Yun'er love pipes very much, so he acquiesced in the armor to add another three days to the little zombie's license, and the zombies were so envious that they beat their chests and feet, and looked up to the sky and roared.

The happiest person is Hongyu, now, as long as the second master enters the room, Hongyu consciously returns to her nest, and that respectful attitude makes Chu Yun'er suspect that it has already betrayed the lord to seek glory and abandon her to the second master. In fact, Chu Yun'er really misunderstood Hongyu, even she didn't realize that she had fully accepted the fact that the second master might steal things, and when all kinds of delicacies were placed in front of her, the starry brilliance in her eyes was no less than that of Hongyu.

That night, the heavy snow would stop, and there was no moon, so the second master stayed in the room, sitting quietly on the eaves of the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate. Chu Yun'er swore that she must find out the truth, before going to bed, she repeatedly told Hongyu that she was not allowed to sleep, as long as she took a nap, she would wake her up, Hongyu nodded solemnly, she hugged Hongyu and snuggled on the head of the bed, and sat and waited for the second master to appear.

At the third watch, in fact, Chu Yun'er didn't know the exact time, there seemed to be a rhythmic whistling sound outside, accompanied by a strange snapping sound, Chu Yun'er suddenly woke up from a daze, and at the same time woke up with a drowsy red jade.

The second master stood up stiffly, his deep blue eyes opened, he didn't look back at Chu Yun'er, he jumped towards the door.

Chu Yun'er hurriedly got up, she didn't feel sleepy for a while, she hid in the door with Hongyu in her arms and listened to the sound outside.

There was a creak of the door opening outside, and the swaying sound of the bamboo forest and tree branches that were isolated outside the door also came to the ears, and there was a muffled sound of feet hitting the ground, as if someone had jumped into the house from the outside, and then there was silence, without a sound.

Strange, why is there no sound at all? Chu Yun'er hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't resist curiosity and poked her head out of the door. In the darkness, two heads slowly poked out from the edge of the door, and the four eyes were like stars in the stream in the dark night, clear, bright and bright.

In addition to the second master, there is one more person in the house, and he can't see his face clearly, but he can be sure that his body is also very tall, because he is still shining silver in the silver armor against the background of the snowy night, and he seems to be holding a vegetable basket in his hand and handing it to the second master.
