My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Die Jiu subconsciously stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the old man's eyes...

Then, she hurriedly stood up and whispered to Wen Qiqi: "This old man seems to be blind."

Wen Qiqi nodded and squatted down: "Old man, we have no ill intentions. Today, the three of us, the master and the servant, passed by your house and wanted to ask you about someone..."

The old man frowned: "Who?"

"It's a man who can tame beasts, wearing a golden mask!"

Wen Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "He should be very young, about 20 years old, very tall, with a nice voice..."

"What are you looking for him for?"

The old man was still very wary.

Wen Qiqi said frankly, "We are here to apologize. A few days ago, I caught a cold, and my girl helped me hunt... and she almost got bit by a poisonous snake! The masked man helped us get game for several days... and I finally recovered from my illness."

She watched the old man's brows gradually relax...

"Now that you're well, don't come looking for him."

"But I misunderstood him and hurt him. So, I should come and apologize!"

The old man remained cold as ever. He raised his cane and swung it around, almost hitting Wen Qiqi in the face.

"I already said it, no need to apologize! Just go!"

Seeing the young lady explain patiently but the old man still had the same attitude, he was so angry that he stepped forward and said, "Old man! How can you be like this at your age? Our young lady is just asking you about someone. If you know something, just tell me. If you don’t know, it doesn’t matter! Putting on this face... It’s really infuriating!"

"Mind!"

Wen Qiqi looked at Xinyi, but Xinyi didn't dare to say much.

The old man stood up and walked towards the house...

"Let's go!"

"You know where he lives, don't you?"

Wen Qiqi stood there, looking at the old man's back, full of doubts.

The old man stopped and paused. "He is my son. His face was burned when he was young, so I made a mask for him and he has been wearing it. However, over the years, the mask and the skin on his face have grown together!"

"He is your son?"

When they heard Qiqi and Diejiu, they were immediately overjoyed.

This way, you can leave the things behind and avoid the hassle of looking for them everywhere.

"Exactly!"

"That's great! Old man, can we meet him?"

Die Jiu ran over with the things in her hand, held the old man's hand, and touched the thank-you gifts they brought: "Look, we just brought some things to express our gratitude, and there is absolutely no other meaning."

"No need! Don't you understand what people say? Let's go! Go quickly!"

The old man threw the thing on the ground and kicked it far away!

The three of them were immediately frightened!

This was the first time the three of them had seen such a rude and unreasonable old man.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, and then a masked man suddenly walked out from the sheep farm path...

"Hey, why are you girls here at my house? Are you still doubting what I said that day?"

The three of them looked back hurriedly and saw the masked man returning with a fishing net on his shoulder and his trouser legs wet.

Wen Qiqi hurried over and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry for offending you that day. I wonder if the wound on your back has healed?"

The masked man put the fishing net on the fence, and there were several big fish in the net!

The man said as he picked up the fish: "It's okay! Don't worry about it, girl!"

Seeing that the other person was so cheerful, Wen Qiqi felt even more guilty.

Die Jiu and Xin Yi also picked up the thank-you gifts they brought and presented them to the man: "My young lady has been worried about you and couldn't sleep because of guilt, so I bought some things today... But these things were also exchanged for the musk deer you gave us by selling them, and we really don't have much money!"

She remembered the Fourteenth Prince's instructions very well, but she didn't dare to let others know that the three of them had no shortage of money.

As the saying goes, there is no silver here.

This Die Jiu is really making things worse the more he explains!

"I see...these girls don't look like poor people."

The man stood up and deliberately took two steps towards Wen Qiqi. Wen Qiqi stood there, not moving a single step.

Xinyi and Diejiu immediately became alert...

"what are you up to?"

"Hahahaha!"

The masked man smiled and said, "It seems that the three girls are afraid that I will rob them. However, if I were a robber, I really don't know whether I should rob them of their money or their bodies."

Wen Qiqi knew that he was a talkative person and smiled.

The octogenarian listened to the masked man's words and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Xiao Nian, please say less. Everyone thinks you are dumb! Hurry... let them go!"

Seeing that the old man was about to chase people away again, the masked man winked at Wen Qiqi, quickly walked to the side of the octogenarian, and whispered: "Dad, don't be so fierce, be careful not to scare these girls! I tell you, each of the three of them is very beautiful, like fairies, especially... especially that young lady, she is like the seven fairies who came down to earth, to take a bath and get rid of the dust..." "You..." Wen Qiqi blushed. This time the old man didn't chase her away, and she wanted to leave too.

The masked man smiled and came over to stop them, saying, "Hey... since you're here, just give me something. It's not a sincere apology! I caught some fish today, so I want to eat fish soup! How about... you three girls wash your hands and make a bowl of soup for me and my dad?"

The octogenarian's eyebrows twitched with anger!

"Aren't you afraid that the fairy will poison you to death?"

"hey-hey……"

Xinyi and Diejiu were amused by the words of the octogenarian. Wen Qiqi also smiled and said, "Are you serious?" "Seriously! The girls have traveled across mountains and rivers to see me, how can they go back hungry? Let's eat first!"

He was very considerate. At this time, it was already afternoon.

The three of them were very hungry. If they went back hungry, they didn’t know if they would have the strength to climb over the mountain!

Seeing that Xinyi and Diejiu both wanted to stay, Wen Qiqi nodded and said, "That's troublesome. Master, we have no ill intentions. We are indeed hungry today, so we'd better obey your command."

"whatever!"

The old man's attitude was obviously better, and he returned to the wall of the hut to bask in the sun.

The masked man helped the three of them take the fish off the fishing net, removed the intestines, and cleaned them up. He then said, "You three can cook the fish soup while I go pick some wild fruits! The wild fruits near my home are delicious!"

"Thank you very much."

Wen Qiqi was really thirsty at this time, but fortunately the man quickly picked a lot of wild fruits and came back. He ate a handful first, intending to tell the three people that the wild fruits were definitely non-toxic.

The three of them didn't hesitate to wash their hands and taste the delicious food in the man's hand.

"Miss, it's delicious! I have never eaten such delicious fruit in Beijing!"

"Yes, it tastes sweet and sour, and it's very juicy! It's very thirst-quenching!"

Xinyi and Diejiu were instantly impressed by the wild fruits the man picked. Wen Qiqi also ate them with big mouthfuls and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, the octogenarian said, "How can it not taste good? This is the fruit of the dead!"

"what?"

The three of them were so frightened that they froze for a moment.

The old man continued, "There are dead bodies buried all over the mountains. The wild fruit trees growing in the graveyards are not lacking in nutrients...you can eat as much as you want."
