After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Ni Yangzhou was somewhat suspicious of Min Liu's identity.

When it was time for lunch, the medicine boys were taken by Qing Twelve to get their meals, and only Min Liu was left alone.

Before lunch, Ni Yangzhou took two meals and came to Min Liu's room in advance.

The child is still making his bed.

"Xiao Liu."

The voice arrived before Ni Yangzhou even entered the room.

"Come, eat."

Min Liu paused for a moment as he was holding the corner of the quilt, and turned around, pretending to have just heard something:

"elder brother."

"Yeah, it's me, I'm here to eat."

Ni Yangzhou placed the food on the round table, five dishes in total.

Four of the dishes were Ni Yangzhou’s portions, and one was the big pot dish prepared by Min Liu as a medicine boy.

The original owner was not extravagant or ate much, and his diet was light.

Ni Yangzhou had happily taken the dishes, but after putting them all away and taking a closer look, he was immediately disappointed.

It's all vegetables, no meat at all.

Rabbit Taoist Temple.

You're not a monk, why didn't you order any meat?

Ni Yangzhou suppressed his expression and sat down, and Min Liu also sat obediently opposite him.

How to say good?

Just as Ni Yangzhou was about to open his mouth to speak, Min Liu spoke first:

"It smells so good, brother, what are we going to eat today?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yangzhou used his serving chopsticks to pick up some water shield shoots and put them in the other person's bowl:

"Water shield shoots are thin, clear in color, and have a light fragrance."

Ni Yangzhou saw the beautiful presentation and praised, "This dish is very beautifully cooked, like a blooming orchid."

A child's voice sounded: "What does an orchid look like?"

Ni Yangzhou paused for a second, and his chopsticks accidentally hit the edge of the plate, making a crisp "dong" sound.

"Like... the brush of a willow tree in spring."

The child nodded, touched the chopsticks, reached out with one hand and touched the bowl, picked up the food successfully after two attempts.

"good to eat."

Min Liu swallowed a mouthful and looked very happy.

Ni Yangzhou picked up another piece of food with chopsticks.

"Water chestnuts are white and fresh, green on top and white on the bottom. Eating them can remove dampness and heat."

He added another sentence.

"Green like spring, white like winter."

Min Liu also put the water chestnut into his mouth.

"--tasty."

Ni Yangzhou had the illusion of feeding small animals.

"This is amaranth. The leaves are green on the outside and purple on the inside. It tastes sweet and cool. The purple color... tastes like cloves."

"good to eat!"

Min Liu ate every bit of food that was put into the bowl.

“This tastes like snow.”

The child's cheeks twitched, and he licked his teeth shyly:

"It's cold and sweet."

Ni Yangzhou also took two bites and found the taste bland.

"nice! You love it."

However, Ni Yangzhou was thinking, what's the point of making the dishes look so pretty? They are not nutritious at all, and children will probably suffer from malnutrition if they only eat these.

Ni Yangzhou filled a bowl of water chestnut soup for Min Liu.

"Eat more."

Min Liu took the bowl:

"Thank you, brother."

Ni Yangzhou nodded slightly and looked at the child who was sipping the drink:

"No need to thank me."

Min Liu was still drinking, but when he heard this, he put the bowl down again.

"Thank you."

He couldn't explain why, so he just repeated it again.

"Thank you."

Ni Yangzhou no longer dwelled on this and just said:

"Eat."

The child then picked up the bowl again.

Ni Yangzhou was not interested, and taking advantage of the fact that the other party couldn't see him, he fixed his gaze directly on Min Liu's lifeless eyes.

Min Liu drank the soup and felt pain in his mouth from the burn. A small area on his back was also wet with sweat, but he still didn't dare to move.

His brother is looking at him.

He feels it.

"you……"

Ni Yangzhou decided to ask directly:

"Why are you dressing up as a girl?"

Min Liu tightened his grip on the bowl, then loosened his fingers.

"That day you wore straw stalks as earrings and wore light-colored, loose clothes. At first glance, you looked like a girl."

"I've seen other street food vendors go out before the city closes. Even vendors in the city have packed up their wares and stopped shouting to sell their wares."

"How come you are holding so many candied haws? Everyone is lining up to leave the city, but you are still wandering around the alley by yourself."

Min Liu lowered his head with drooping eyelashes.

No words were spoken.

Ni Yangzhou's tone became more serious:

"answer me."

The child's back was tense:

"My business is not good..."

Ni Yangzhou did not look away:

"Why are you pretending to be a girl?"

"I……"

Min Liu raised his head: "Brother, I didn't do anything bad."

There were tears in his eyes.

Ni Yangzhou looked at the tearful eyes and suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.

Just sighed lightly:

"Go ahead and eat."

The skin in Min Liu's mouth had been bitten by himself and was mixed with the taste of blood.

The tears in his eyes grew bigger and bigger, turning into a drop and falling on his cheek.

The child's tense expression slowly changed, as if trying to please, the corners of his mouth turned up into a faint smile, his eyes looked in the direction of Ni Yangzhou, and he said:

"Thank you, brother."

This scene brought back memories for Ni Yangzhou. He held his breath, unable to calm down, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks.

"You eat first, I have something to do."

The man walked out of the house quickly, taking advantage of the wind.

"elder brother……"

The people in the room froze in place.

-------------------------------------

【Host, you are not in a good mood. 】

Ni Yangzhou was lying on a mat alone, with his long legs hanging on the ground, looking somewhat decadent.

"Third brother, are the characters in your library really only in this book? Can't they go to other worlds?"

[Except for series books, no.]

"Then," Ni Yangzhou sat up and crossed his legs.

"Is this book and Dream of Tinglan the first and second volume?"

After asking this question, Ni Yangzhou felt it was outrageous.

One is a modern suspense, one is an ancient Long Aotian novel, one is Qianmenlouzi, and one is Kuguxixizi.

The wind and the horse are irrelevant.

Sure enough, 103 is still rational.

【no. 】

Ni Yangzhou scratched his head in annoyance: "Third brother, Min Liu, Min Liu looks a lot like..."

The name went around in his mouth but he didn't say it out loud.

Not in looks or body shape.

It feels like crying.

Ni Yangzhou covered his face with his hands and stopped talking.

"It's okay, Third Brother, it might be my illusion."

"Well, how much progress have I made, Third Brother?"

Ni Yangzhou didn't like opening the system interface very much. He didn't have any sense of identification with the ancient world in the first place, and clicking on the floating small screen all day long made him feel even more distracted.

【Task progress 10%. 】

"Ok?"

Ni Yangzhou became excited:

"Where did it go up? When did it go up? On what day did it go up?"

Ni Yangzhou began to regret that he did not monitor the progress in real time.

[Updated at 8pm every day, increasing by 1% every day. At 8pm last night, it reached exactly 10%.]

"This progress is faster than I expected. It's growing so evenly. Could it be because of the contact with Xiao Liu..."

At this time, the carved wooden door was knocked gently, and a familiar voice came:

"Brother, can I come in?"
