395 Black Hole (2/2)

Does she think she's feeding a pig?

However, the auntie did not mean them any insult. Villagers were normally more down to earth and passionate. Also, it was Han Chu's own fault for giving her a bit too much money. Therefore, the auntie, who thought that she was being paid more than she should, naturally did her best to cook up a large meal. She treated them like influential guests who had come to visit the village—it was fine if they could not finish. The key was there had to be a lot—the food had to spill over the table. After all, the leftovers could be shared among the auntie's family.

Han Chu very subtly skipped over the braised meat, which was dripping with oil, and his chopsticks leaped over the table to pick up a piece of fish. As he chewed on the food, he casually asked, ”Big Sister, we have a relative who married somewhere around here. I think it's called Ten Miles Village, do you know how to get there?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The auntie was told to join them, but obviously, it made her feel uncomfortable. She busied herself by helping them with the food. ”Ten Miles Village? The place is not that far. Later, I'll give you the directions. You just need to follow it, and you'll arrive.”

After he gave his thanks, Han Chu added like it was an afterthought, ”Do you know who the village head is there? We don't know many people here, and we worry about our relative—we hope to pay the lead a visit to ask him to look after our relative.”

”Village head?” The auntie fell into thought like she was given a very hard problem to solve. ”Actually, I don't think I've heard them mention someone like that. However, the villagers there often mention someone by the name of Master Five. I believe he has quite a good reputation, so you can go visit him I suppose.”

”Master Five?” Han Chu astutely showed a confused look to signal for the auntie to continue.

The auntie laughed. ”Actually, the title village head in places like ours are just a formality. Not everyone will use that, the decision makers are normally the eldest in the village. I hear that Master Five is the one who manages everything at Ten Miles Village… Actually, if you want to know more, you can ask the villagers there when you arrive.”

Ten Miles Village was actually Nature Village, which Han Chu and Ye Shuang had just left. Initially, they had thought that they would get more information from the nearby village, but after chatting with the auntie, they realized that the village was surprisingly secretive. Even though villagers were very welcoming, they did not have a fixed topic during conversation, and they were not there with a purpose to figure certain information out anyway. Therefore, even though they had close and frequent interaction, what they discussed was everyday stuff and would be led astray whenever the topic reached something sensitive.

Therefore, when Han Chu came here to ask for information, he realized that those people did not know about Nature Village's basic information.

Actually, that was not entirely true because at least Han Chu now knew about the presence of this Master Five.

After a few brief conversations and confirming that he was unable to find out anything more from the auntie, Han Chu silently switched the topic away. From Ten Miles Village, he talked about the nearby specialty food, and from there, he talked about the type of produce that was suitable for the nearby soil, and then, he moved onto the people who had left the village recently… After discussing everything that could be discussed within the twenty miles radius, Han Chu was satisfied with his job. It was time to call it a day. He moved his chopsticks and then… realized that everything was empty.

”Hmm, you're done discussing?” Ye Shuang gulped down the glass of water and then burped as the food settled in her stomach.

The auntie, who was distracted by Han Chu, stared at the carcass of the food on the table with widening eyes. She had no idea how the food had disappeared—that meal was enough for her family of five to last for a whole day!

”Brother, your wife sure has a good appetite. She's eating for more than one person, isn't she?” The auntie looked at Han Chu with a complicated look in her eyes. Finally, she understood why Han Chu had given her so much money. The wife's appetite was like a black hole.

Han Chu was silent for three seconds. He put down the chopsticks expressionlessly. He sipped at the water, the only thing he had to quench his hunger. ”Ha ha…”
