Xue Yingying got up early in the morning, and she was already in a much better mood.

When I walked out of the room, I saw a glass of milk and a fried egg on the table.

The eggs are very tender and fried just right, even Xue Yingying, who has been a housewife for many years, may not be able to do it!

Who the hell is he and why does he wear a mask all the time?

Is it Shu Yang's former friend?! But it doesn't look like it.

Since coming here, this man has taken good care of himself, he is in the prime of life, and he is not bad, why have you been together for so long but have not committed any crimes?

Moreover, all along, although the two were in the same room and had occasional small talk, they couldn't see any malice on his part!

Besides, this person would go out every few days, and each time he would bring back a bunch of fresh food, and even more exaggeratedly, it would never be the same in a week!

And judging from the style of ingredients and dishes, it is not only exquisite, but also elegant, which only a rich person like Xue Yingying can pay attention to, and ordinary people will never be able to do it!

What is his origin, and why has he saved himself for so long without explaining the situation?

Xue Yingying thinks about these questions almost every day, but as soon as she speaks, the other party will definitely change the topic and find an excuse to leave.

After breakfast, Xue Yingying walked outside.

This locally sourced house is an all-timber structure, with a bark and thatched roof and a small open space in front of the door.

Looking around, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, boundless, except for the chirping of birds and beasts in the mountains, there is no hustle and bustle in the world, which makes people very willing to relax.

Xue Yingying seems to have gotten used to it a lot, and she started doing yoga.

At this time, a masked man walked out of the side of the house with a pile of dry firewood, and after gently putting the firewood on the ground, he quietly leaned against the wooden wall and looked at Xue Yingying until she finished.

"You're recovering well!" The man said.

Xue Yingying was startled and immediately turned around: "When did you come back?" ”

"Just came back." The man said softly.

"People who don't see you every morning, it's weird."

"Don't worry, you won't be so bored soon." The man said.

Xue Yingying was stunned: "Why?" ”

"Because it won't be long before you can get out of here." The man's voice was unpleasant.

"What do you mean?!" Xue Yingying was even more strange: "You tried your best to save me and keep me here, just getting used to it, and you said you wanted me to leave!" ”

"I've told you so many times!" The man sighed lightly: "I didn't save you!" ”

"Okay, then please tell me, who is it?!"

"I don't know." The man said leisurely, "It was night when you were sent, and I never saw that person at all!" ”

"But I only think you're my benefactor!" Xue Yingying bit her lip.

"You're thinking too much!" The man sighed again and said slowly: "Actually, I was also rescued by that person!" ”

"What?!" Xue Yingying was shocked: "Why did you never say it?" ”

"Because he told me!" The man took a deep breath.

"Then why is it being said again now?"

"Because I'm getting out of here!" The man looked up at the mountains in the distance, as if he was distracted: "It's time to end the matter!" ”

"Can you tell me about it?" Xue Yingying stared at the man.

"I can't." The man's tone was unmistakable.

"What should I do if you're gone?" Xue Yingying was suddenly a little reluctant, and said quietly: "Are you waiting here to feed the wolves?" ”

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, someone will take care of you!"

Hearing this, Xue Yingying was both aggrieved and helpless: "Then when can I leave, in this deep mountain and old forest, one person will never be able to go out!" ”

"You'll know when the time comes." The man said slowly.

"Okay, but is there a question you can answer?"

"Say it."

"Why did the people who saved us put us here? Why don't you let it out when you don't have time? ”

"To be safe!" The man's patience is good.

"You're safe now?"

"I've always been safe!"

"You mean, for my safety?"

The man nodded, "Yes." ”

Xue Yingying lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head again: "Remember that I told you everything about myself, now, is it time to talk about yours, after all, you are about to leave!" ”

"I've already said it, no!" The man was unmoved.

Seeing that the other party didn't buy her argument at all, Xue Yingying decided to change the way.

"Don't say it. But can you explain: since you were also rescued, why do you say that you have been safe all along? ”

The man was stunned, although he couldn't see the expression under his mask, but his eyes didn't lie, he obviously didn't expect Xue Yingying to ask this.

After hesitating for a moment, the man said in a deep voice: "Because I am no longer me!" ”

Xue Yingying was blindsided again: "What do you mean?!" ”

"Meaning, I can't even recognize my current appearance even by the closest people, let alone enemies!"

Xue Yingying was startled, and only reacted after a moment: "So you're wearing a mask?" ”

The man nodded, not answering immediately.

After a long time, he spoke: "I have never asked you what you like to eat the most, and I will cook it for you at noon!" ”

"I can't imagine that your mentality is so good!" Xue Yingying sighed.

"Maybe your favorite is what I'm best at." The man chuckled.

Hearing this, Xue Yingying's heart moved, and she also smiled: "What are you best at?" ”

"Dong'an Chicken!" The man laughed.

"I have a friend, her hometown is Dong'an, Hunan, my favorite is this 'Dong'an chicken' she makes, I can't imagine that you will too!" Xue Yingying said happily.

"No, I learned this dish from a friend." As he spoke, the man took out a pheasant from behind him like a trick, rushed at Xue Yingying, and turned around and entered the house.

The pheasant is just an adult, the ginger is a young ginger, and the vinegar is just right.

Therefore, this 'Dong'an chicken' at noon is the best dish Xue Yingying has ever eaten in her life, and in her opinion, it is more authentic than Zheng Keke's cooking.

"It's delicious." Xue Yingying was very excited and asked, "Your friend is from Hunan?" ”

The man nodded.

"Female friends?" Women's instincts have always been intimidating.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said 'um'.

"Confidante, right!" Xue Yingying smiled like a girlish funny.

The man looked at her quietly, not knowing what expression was under the mask.

"I'm ready to go down the mountain after I've packed up, take care of yourself in the future!" The man stood up and began to clean up the dishes.

"I'll do it anyway." Xue Yingying hurriedly got up and helped clean up.

More than ten minutes later, Xue Yingying was sent to the open space outside the house.

At the moment when the man turned to leave, Xue Yingying suddenly stopped him: "Can you take off the mask and let me take a look?" ”

The man looked at her fixedly for a long time before he said, "Are you sure?" ”

Xue Yingying nodded firmly.

The man didn't hesitate any longer, and slowly removed the mask with the hood attached.

It was a flat, ugly face, with a hole in the nose and no lips, showing two rows of white teeth, no eyebrows, no ears, and, of course, no hair!

Xue Yingying was stunned, she couldn't imagine that there was such a terrifying face under the mask.

But soon, she calmed down and asked, "Did all your enemies do it?" ”

The man nodded, and quickly put the mask back on.

"Did you go down the mountain this time for revenge?!"

The man shook his head: "No, I just went to do something that I should have done a long time ago and didn't do!" ”

"Can we still meet?" Xue Yingying's eyes showed a look of longing.

"I don't know." The man looked up at the sky and muttered, "Maybe not!" Immediately, he looked at Xue Yingying again and said, "Don't worry, in half an hour, someone will come to accompany you!" ”

After nodding to Xue Yingying, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

Xue Yingying stared blankly at the man's distant back, sighed, and muttered, "Why didn't I meet such a good person twenty years ago!" ”
