Nan Xian found a room where no one was there and opened the bag.

When she first got it, she pinched it with her hand, and it was not the paper she expected, but a bulging piece, irregular in shape, and very hard to the touch.

She speculated that it might be a key prop to advance the mission, so she didn't look at it when there were people around her.

Excited and apprehensive in her heart, she slowly untied the knot of the brocade bag and poured out the thing—

A piece of cinnabar carved in the shape of a peony.

This peony is very small, the color is rich like scarlet blood, each petal is lifelike, slightly budding, and you can vaguely see the delicate and lovely stamens in the middle.

The tentacles were slightly cool, lying heavily in the palm of their hands.

Nan Xian took a closer look at it, and even turned the bag over, but she didn't find any other clues.

The bag has a sticker with the logo of "Strange Tales Deveiled", and she has always hidden it in the inside pocket of her clothes, so there is no possibility of being dropped.

In the previous issues, whether it was a text clue or a prop clue, at least some hints would be given, but this time-

It's just such a gadget that doesn't reveal any direct information?

She said "huh" in confusion and handed the peony cinnabar to the camera, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

The camera brother scratched his shiny light head, nodded hesitantly, and shook his head even more hesitantly.

He's just a cameraman, and he's not in charge of props!

Nan Xian also thought of this, so she had to temporarily put away the doubts in her heart, put the peony cinnabar back into the bag, and hid it in her pocket.

Wei Zeling does have two brushes in terms of cooking skills, and after Nan Xian saw her make abalone with soy sauce, she handed over the kitchen to her, went out for a stroll by herself, and saw the old couple feeding chickens and ducks in the yard, and also took the food bowl to help.

It's not that she is deliberately lazy, but her cooking skills are really average, and the reason is that the men of the Nan family are too good at cooking!

When her father was young, he studied in the UK, because he was not used to eating local food, so he learned to cook hometown dishes in a rented small apartment.

Moreover, he got acquainted with Nan Xian's mother because of food, he fell in love with her at first sight, she was a popular figure on campus, the real flower of kaolin, and there were not a few suitors, and finally he was moved by his moisturizing and silent care.

Her brother Nan Yi is completely a copy of her father, even the unsociable and silent temperament is exactly the same, he has followed his father to watch him cook since he was sensible, and his father deliberately guided him - he can cook, so he has a chance to catch up with the girl he likes.

As a result, Nan Yi was successfully trained to become the second "amateur chef".

Nan Xian grew up under the care of such two "virtuous" fathers and elder brothers, and there were very few opportunities to cook herself, so she couldn't talk about practicing her cooking skills, and her current cooking skills were limited to not starving to death.

Since Wei Zeling is willing to express herself, then she is naturally happy to be idle, Nan Xian thought beautifully.

While she was watching the geese peck, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her.

An old lady with gray hair stopped at the fence of the house next door, cautiously poking her head in this direction.

She wore an old white-washed cotton jacket, her hair was obviously deliberately groomed and meticulously combed, and her sallow face was crawling with wrinkles, squeezing out a cramped expression.

When Nan Xian saw her, she was slightly stunned-

In this village, where all the villagers are in good spirits, it is really surprising that such an old man whose appearance is exactly the same as the word "old" is really surprising.
