Chapter 305 Granny Jin
Hearing that they were both alright, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a halo of light appeared on her fingertip, illuminating the surrounding environment.
He Yuhuan rubbed her bottom and squatted down: "Ouch! Su Nianhui, you're too heavy!"
Zhongli Yueluo scooped Su Nian up, who had inexplicably fallen into the ground.
It seemed that someone was playing tricks in the dark. He looked up at the unreachable height and wondered how he could get back to the ground.
"Mother, oh no, Princess, it's impossible to go up from here. We should keep going forward."
He's a man now, and he has to protect them both.
He Yuhuan touched the wall next to her and sniffed it. There was no other smell, just ordinary soil.
"We should indeed move forward; going up might not get us out either."
He Yuhuan and Su Nianhui walked on either side of her as they walked along the narrow passageway.
I don't know how long I walked in this passageway, but I didn't sense any strangers or any other danger.
Finally, they felt a gust of wind blowing in from ahead, and following the direction of the wind, they gradually saw the light ahead.
At first, things were a little blurry, but once their eyes had fully adjusted to the light, they were greeted by a magnificent sight.
This place turned out to be a hidden village nestled among crisscrossing paddy fields, and the people inside were all working in an orderly fashion.
They crawled out of the hole and happened to encounter pedestrians passing by outside, who were even a little puzzled.
"Where are you from?"
Zhongli Yuelu could not sense any cultivation level from them; she felt that their magical power was extremely low, as low as it could possibly be.
"us……"
"My sister, mother, and I have wandered into these mountains by mistake. May I ask where we are?"
Su Nianhui remained calm and even walked ahead, extending his short arms to protect the two behind him.
He Yuhuan pulled on Zhongli Yueluo's dress, kept her mouth shut, and tried her best not to show her sharp teeth.
"Oh, so you're from outside. We haven't had any outsiders here for a long time."
But the passerby didn't say much to them, and went to the field on his own, carrying his hoe.
They stood on this network of paths, a veritable paradise.
Yet they could sense that these people meant them no harm.
They stood there for a long time when an old woman walked over from a distance.
She squinted, her face all smiles, as if her eyes were half-closed.
Leaning on his cane, he limped along and said, "You've come from outside, haven't you? Why don't you come and rest at my place for a while?"
Upon seeing the old woman's appearance, the group immediately recalled the description in the nursery rhyme.
The three men frowned, but they couldn't sense any malice from the old woman.
"Oh, these two little kids are quite cute. I also have a granddaughter who's about the same age as them."
As he spoke, he limped toward them, and Su Nianhui even took a step back.
"Princess, something seems amiss."
He Yuhuan jumped up and down, looking at the old woman: "Will you give us food?"
It's unclear whether the old woman could see or not.
Even when He Yuhuan bared her sharp teeth, her expression didn't change at all.
"Oh, you're hungry? I just happened to make some porridge." Grandma Jin smiled kindly.
"Then let's follow along and see." Zhongli Yueluo took Su Nianhui's hand, walked to He Yuhuan's side, and took her hand as well.
"I don't want you to hold my hand, I want my master to hold my hand." He Yuhuan broke free from Su Nianhui's hand and walked to the other side of Zhongli Yueluo.
"These two kids look naughty. My house is just ahead, not far away. Look, there's smoke rising from the chimney."
Grandma Jin, leaning on her cane, limped ahead, leading them towards her house.
Su Nian remained vigilant, looking around, but there was nothing else of interest to be found.
He Yuhuan's nose twitched, as if she smelled something pleasant from the cooking smoke, and her eyes lit up.
However, Su Nianhui seemed to smell something pungent, and her brows furrowed.
Zhongli Yueluo couldn't smell anything at all; it was just the smell of smoke from burning ordinary straw.
"These are just some simple and crude items; I hope you won't find them offensive."
Grandma Jin pushed open the gate to her courtyard, but there was no one inside.
It appears she lives alone, and although it looks crooked, the yard is very well-maintained.
"You all sit in the yard first, I'll go and bring out the vegetable porridge." Her voice sounded very reassuring.
She really does resemble a kind and gentle old woman. The three of them sat at the table looking at each other.
Only He Yuhuan wasn't nervous at all; on the contrary, she was looking forward to the arrival of the food.
Grandma Jin brought out a tray from the kitchen with three bowls of porridge and some side dishes on it.
Zhongli Yueluo's breakfast looked no different from her usual breakfast.
But what He Yuhuan and Su Nianhui saw were completely different.
"Don't eat, Yu Huan." Su Nianhui's voice echoed in He Yu Huan's heart.
But as soon as he finished speaking, He Yuhuan picked up the bowl and poured more than a bowlful into his mouth, while staring at Zhongli Yueluo's bowl.
"Wow, this is delicious, Master! Can I have this bowl?"
Grandma Jin's smile gradually turned eerie, but none of them noticed.
Zhongli Yueluo felt this was strange. They usually ate the same things, so why didn't she see He Yuhuan happy?
Su Nianhui stared at the rice in the bowl with disgust, as if it were something extremely repulsive.
But watching He Yuhuan slurping, Zhongli Yueluo swallowed hard and inexplicably felt hungry.
"Princess, don't eat it!"
Su Nianhui was anxious when she saw that Zhongli Yueluo was about to move. Didn't they think there was something wrong with the food?
At this moment, Granny Jin stood silently behind Su Nianhui: "Young master, do you not like the food I cook?"
The sound was terrifying, but Zhongli Yueluo and He Yuhuan acted as if they hadn't heard it.
"Eat up, it's delicious." The hoarse, deep voice carried a hint of seduction.
Su Nianhui also inexplicably started eating, and after the three of them finished their meal, they all collapsed onto the table with a thud.
Grandma Jin's ever-smiling eyes suddenly opened, revealing two empty eye sockets.
"It's a good thing it was the three of you who fell. How dare you kill my granddaughter! I'll make you taste her pain too."
When the three of them opened their eyes again, still dazed and confused, they were still in the same room.
Upon closer inspection, there were no signs of injury on their bodies.
Was she really too tired and fell asleep?
Even if they were really too tired, it's impossible for all three of them to collapse at the same time, which makes the whole thing seem a bit strange.
There was a lot of noise outside, and several people came out of the room. I saw that many people outside were carrying torches.
