C10 (1/2)

Different from the Li Kingdom, the ancestors of the Northern Army were nomadic people. They carried the rough nature of the Great Prairie in their bones. However, the most moving part was always the soft feelings of a man of iron. The most famous part of the Northern Tribes didn't even match the word ”Forthright”.

”The drunken slumbering of the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion died, Lin Xiang has never lived up to his expectations.”

”No matter how rare it is, it's still a steamed bun. Can a bun shop make a flower?”

Luo Yi, Xu Heng, ”...”

”Now that you put it that way, I'm suddenly interested …” Not long after, Luo Yi also followed Liu Yin's line of sight, and even nodded as he looked. ”I'm also quite curious about whether your face is good enough to eat an overlord meal or not!”

Thus, early in the morning the next day, the two of them waited in front of Lin Xiang's bun house.

The sky was not bright yet, so Luo Yi yawned and leaned on Xu Heng. She asked lazily, ”How long do we have to wait?”

”Soon.” Xu Heng replied as he looked at the sky.

He first glanced at Xu Heng, then turned to look at Luo Yi. He could tell that he was seriously observing the two, but the strange thing was that he did not seem to be flippant about it.

After a long while, he said, ”Oh, they are all not bad.”

Only then did he fully open the door, revealing himself.

According to the rumors that she had heard, Luo Yi had thought that someone who had such a strange personality would be an old man who was over 60 years old. No matter how bad he looked, he would at least be a rough and rough man.

Lin Xiang opened the door and let the two in.

He was pacing in the direction of the kitchen, looking lazy, as if the two men in front of him didn't exist.

Luo Yi quietly pinched the flesh on Xu Heng's arm: ”Weirdo.”

”Yes.”

Xu Heng was surprised, he turned and looked around the courtyard that was so big that no one else was around, he thought for a moment, then instructed: ”You wait here, don't run around, I'll go take a look.”

He unconsciously frowned.

Although Lin Xiang's bun house had this name, it was different from the common shops outside. He replaced the signboard on the door, saying that any official of the imperial court who set up a private property would believe it. The courtyard was no different from a large ordinary family's backyard, the scenery was good, but why does it not look like a steamed bun maker, especially...

Such a big house, other than Lin Xiang, there seemed to be no one else.

Luo Yi was bored to death as she grabbed a flower from the ground. When she raised his head, he was so scared that he threw the flower in her hand away.

”Only you?”

Lin Xiang's gaze turned a few times, and finally stopped on Luo Yi's body. He narrowed his eyes, and coldly asked: ”Where is that person?”

”Ah, he, he went to the toilet,” Luo Yi grinned and laughed dryly: ”I'm afraid the food we ate last night was not clean, and hurt my stomach.”

”However, it is about time to return …” Seeing that Lin Xiang was still cold, Luo Yi tiptoed and looked in the direction Xu Heng had left a few times, and muttered: ”Did you get lost?”

”After all, your courtyard is too big.” Her half-truths.

Lin Xiang's face was still expressionless, as if he had already seen that she was lying. However, for some reason, he did not expose her, and only curled his lips: ”Then I'll go find him.”

”No need.”

As soon as he said those words, the person who was being discussed suddenly appeared in front of the duo. He unhurriedly straightened his collar and then smiled apologetically, ”Sorry for disturbing you.”

He had a dignified expression on his face.

Lin Xiang was unexpectedly easy to talk to, after looking at Xu Heng for a while he started to smile even more happily, seemingly not caring about the person who walked around his courtyard without permission: ”A good-looking person's privilege here is always a little more than the others.”

After saying that, he returned to the kitchen and gave the buns that were already wrapped to the two of them. He smiled leisurely and said, ”Take care, farewell.”

On the surface, Luo Yi looked calm as she received it. Just as she stepped out of the Lin Family mansion, her other foot kicked towards Xu Heng: ”Look at you, you've been caught red-handed.”

She kicked cleanly, but forgot that her feet were not fully healed yet, thus she took a deep breath the moment she got close to Xu Heng, and anxiously retracted her leg.

Xu Heng smiled as he glanced at her. After seeing that her legs were fine, he started to silently count how long Luo Yi would have to wait before he could resist.

After a moment, Luo Yi bit her bun and walked over: ”Then have you noticed anything strange?”

”Yes.” Xu Heng replied: ”This Lin Xiang is not like what Liu Liangyun said. He's just a simple bun maker.”

Luo Yi blinked her eyes and asked.

Lin Xiang's bun house was a three-way house, but in terms of design, it was a bit unique. The first thing that came out was a courtyard and kitchen with flowers and plants, while the real rooms were at the back. There was only one proper room, while the rest of the rooms were all …

”Human skin mask?!”

Luo Yi subconsciously raised her voice to repeat herself, as her eyes widened.

Xu Heng nodded.

There were no lights on in the houses, and because no one had ever lived there, they were lacking in humanity, so even in broad daylight, they felt eerie and creepy, especially when you pushed open the door and saw the walls full of lifelike human faces.

All three.

At first glance, these masks looked like human faces that grew on the walls, but their eyes were empty and expressionless as they stared at the people who came in, as if countless people were staring at them at the same time. Such a strange scene caused Xu Heng to jump in fright at first glance, but he quickly calmed down. Borrowing the sunlight from the gap in the door, he was able to see that these things were not human faces, but human skin masks.

It was just that the material was a bit special, and the workmanship was also very fine, so it looked no different from a real person.

Xu Heng looked around the rooms one by one, and noticed that these people's masks were all hanging in the other rooms. It was likely that these masks had very exquisite facial features.
