15 Dinner (2/2)

Seeing the two gone, Yan Xiu went inside and started cleaning up. Meanwhile, Chen Hanchen was asking Lu Hao for Yan Xiu's info. As a hunter, Chen Hanchen usually honed his skills in the hunter house, he rarely interact with the villagers, side a few exception.

”Lu Hao, did you feel anything when you enter little Xiu's house?” (CH)

”? Oh, are you talking about the seal?” (LH)

”You know about it?” (CH)

Chen Hanchen couldn't conceal his surprise, how could a villager who never leave the village like Lu Hao know about seal? Lu Hao didn't see Chen Hachen surprised look as he answered.

”Yeah. I don't know what a seal is but Yan Xiu's father made it, he said it was a protective charm.” (LH)

Yan Xiu's father put it up? Anyone who could put up a seal, moreover such strong seal, was surely a person of high standing and power, but how could such a personage reside in this village? Chen Hanchen became even more curious.

”Where's Yan Xiu? I just realised I didn't see him when we were there.” (CH)

”This.... His parents gone missing a year ago.” (LH)

”... I see.” (CH)

The mood went heavy, Chen Hanchen didn't continue asking and Lu Hao stayed silent. The two separate when they entered the village. Chen Hanchen felt pity toward Yan Xiu, he thought Yan Xiu's father as a strong personage since he could put up a strong seal.

If such a person when missing, he was probably got caught in an accident or attacked by someone. Yan Xiu might never be able to see his parents again. Chen Hanchen decided to not asked Yan Xiu about his parents, lest he saddened the boy.

The boy talked about, Yan Xiu, was currently checking and watering the field. He went to the garden when he was done cleaning the dishes and table. He completed the checking of the crops and livestock, then he cultivate in the field.

Yan Xiu only remembered his promise with granny Shen after he's done cultivating. The day has turned to night, he decided to go tomorrow and thought of how to supply granny Shen with green water without having to go to her place twice a day.

Cleansing his dirtied robe, Yan Xiu went to his parents room. The room was simple in design and it included a bathroom in the room. There was a double bed, a table with mirror his mama used, a wardrobe, and a big bookshelf.

Yan Xiu was always reminded of his parents when he entered the room, tears pooling in his eyes. He kept the room the same as they left it. Swiping the tears, he went to the bookshelf.

The books left here was written by his parents, everything he needed to know was written in the book. The cultivation technique, the spells, how to take care crops and livestock, and food recipe, he found all of it here. It was as if his parents purposely recorded everything they knew in case they gone missing.

The bookshelf was sealed by his papa, only a few books were available to read. The books regarding cultivation technique and introduction spell, food recipes, and agriculture. The rest was sealed.

Yan Xiu took out the recipes book, he wanted to make some food that were easy to carry and cook for the big hunt later. He searched the book for such food and he found it, sausage!

Yan Xiu smiled and noted down how to make it. Thankfully, he got all the ingredients. For the equipment, Yan Xiu remembered his papa made it for mama a long time ago. He put back the book and went to the kitchen. He chose and weight the meat and fat for making sausage, he put the meat grinder and sausage stuffer into the big ice box and checked if he had sufficient herbs.

For the wooden hanger, he could make it himself tomorrow. With all required ingredients confirmed, Yan Xiu was satisfied and went to sleep.
