Li Hengyi left the inn with Xie Zhinuan, followed by the three animals.
To avoid causing trouble to others, Dahuang still carried two of them.
Xie Zhinuan thought that she should prepare another horse. In the future, once she could ride, she would let Dahuang carry Routuan and the grey wolf while she rode the horse.
It would be convenient and faster to travel everywhere.
Of course, this was predicated on the condition that her martial arts were strong and her medical skills exquisite, which she definitely didn’t dare to contemplate at the moment.
People are dressed in clothing as horses are saddled; with her outfit changed, Xie Zhinuan gave off a different impression.
The previous cotton garments weren’t bad, but they clearly identified her as a common girl, which always made some unruly men have ideas. Now, dressed in satin with dangling earrings, one could tell at a glance that she was a girl from a wealthy family. Even if not a lady of great wealth, she was surely a dignified maid of a rich family, protected and untouchable.
Because she had backing.
The wonton shop owner was even more enthusiastic, ushering them to sit down, “What filling would you like for your wontons?”
“What do you have here? Bring us bowls of each kind!” Yuanbao spoke out.
Xie Zhinuan was surprised.
In this small town, a wonton shop had several varieties of wontons, which were brought to them afterwards.
The thin dough was sprinkled with a bit of scallions and a few drops of oil, smelling quite enticing.
She took a spoon, scooped up a wonton, and ate it.
The flavor was indeed good.

The dough was tender, the meat was fragrant, mixed with egg liquid and other spices, making it very savory, leaving a lingering taste with every bite.With this filling and wonton dough, one could sell them quite well even in the county town.
Li Hengyi also forced himself to have a bite.
The taste was indeed decent, but he still felt a bit nauseated.
He glanced at Xie Zhinuan and Yuanbao, who were eating earnestly, took a deep breath, ate a few more, and then set the spoon down.
His stomach was still churning, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and he wanted to throw up.
Xie Zhinuan poured him a glass of water, “Have some water!”
Li Hengyi pursed his lips and shook his head.
He knew this wasn’t just sickness, but also the persistent guilt that troubled his heart and the misunderstanding of the world, the belief that he had eaten the flesh of those people.
The only one, Xie Zhinuan, even before they knew each other, had made him a bowl of tofu mixed with green onions.
She believed he was innocent.
She, indeed, was different from the rest of the world.
Xie Zhinuan looked at Li Hengyi, thinking that in the future when they went out, she should prepare a water bladder so that after Li Hengyi ate something from outside, he could have a sip of water with Spiritual Spring added by her.
He couldn’t always just eat the food she cooked. They might be together now, but in the future, they were destined to go their separate ways; it wasn’t possible to always be together.
Since they couldn’t be together, no matter what, she still hoped he would be well.
Xie Zhinuan remained silent.
She and Yuanbao focused on eating their wontons, especially since the radish strips served in the shop were very good too, offering a refreshingly crisp bite.
She looked at the busy people.
A pair of elderly spouses and a younger couple, as well as a small child playing on the side-it was a harmoniously happy family.
The daughter-in-law, seeing Xie Zhinuan looking her way, smiled somewhat shyly.
“…” Xie Zhinuan smiled back.
She ordered a few more bowls to take away.
In the inn, the mute servant took a deep breath and completed the last gesture before finally opening his eyes to look around.
He felt that he could see things more clearly and there seemed to be an endless supply of energy within his body.
Opening his mouth, the mute servant softly called out, “Master!”
For someone who was fifty years old and suddenly able to speak, the mute servant could hardly believe such a miracle could happen to him.
Lian Huai couldn’t believe either that such a rare event could happen right beside him. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t have believed it, but having been with the mute servant for decades, he knew his every move all too well.
