"You all?" the villager asked in a low voice.
"We're just passing through and will leave soon," Xie Zhinuan said warmly.
"Then be careful, there are snakes on the mountain!" the villager kindly warned.
"Thank you!"
After thanking the villager, Xie Zhinuan said to Li Hengyi, "If we really find a snake, we'll catch it, bring it back, skin it and stew it in a pot. Add a chicken to the stew, and it'll be a 'Dragon Phoenix Soup'!"
"..."
Li Hengyi couldn't help but smile.
He knew that Xie Zhinuan was different from what he had imagined, and even more different from the young ladies in the capital.
"Have you ever eaten snake meat?" Xie Zhinuan asked.
Li Hengyi fell silent, his face pained and nostalgic. Only after a while did he nod, "Yes, I have. It's not very tasty!"
"?" Xie Zhinuan looked at him, feeling that this must be a very sad story.
She felt it was wrong to continue on this topic.
