Chapter 279 She is waiting for him, looking forward to herself

For some reason, the Demon Lord felt a little emotional because of Tao Yanyan's words.

"Today is February 29th. Were you born in a leap year? Do you only celebrate your birthday once every four years?" asked the Demon Lord.

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "That's right. My birthday, which only comes once every four years, was celebrated while I was kidnapped. There was no birthday party, no husband, and no children around. It was such a sad birthday!" After saying that, she glared at the Demon Lord opposite her, stood up and said, "Da Li, come with me to help digest the food. We need to walk after eating too much."

Dali dragged his fat body to catch up with his master, blocking the Demon Lord's view of Tao Yanyan.

The Demon Lord suddenly felt a little regretful. Should he have waited until her birthday was over before kidnapping her?

After all, the next birthday will be four years later.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to think about it, as the protector had already bought dry food for dozens of people and urged him to set off.

Tao Yanyan and Dali walked around the door and suddenly saw a typo on the sign outside the store that listed the signature dishes. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Store owner, your sign is wrong. Do you have a pen and ink? I'll help you rewrite it."

The Demon Lord gave the Dharma Protector a look, asking him to keep an eye on him. The Dharma Protector understood and immediately started to stare at the person.

Tao Yanyan had known for a long time that she would definitely be monitored, but she had never intended to leave any message for He Linzhang. She really just wanted to change the name of the store to the correct one - just a slight change in the shape of the character.

She had been practicing calligraphy for more than half a year according to the copybook of Mr. Yougui that He Linzhang had given her, and the effect was beginning to show. So she corrected the wrong characters and wrote calmly.

When the guardian saw that she was not playing tricks or writing any extra words, he didn't think much about it.

After Tao Yanyan finished writing, everyone set off again.

The Demon Lord is in poor health, but he still hopes to return to the Demon Cult's base camp as soon as possible to find a Taoist priest to make elixirs to cure his illness.

Two days after they left, He Linzhang's team came to the inn. Seeing so many people wanting to eat, and all of them looking exhausted, the innkeeper quickly served tea and brought the menu.

He Linzhang sat down, and Yingyi took the menu: "Bring all of them, I won't order anything else."

The storekeeper went to prepare the dishes, and soon served the braised beef. He Linzhang frowned. The storekeeper thought that the customer didn't like beef, so he smiled and recommended: "This braised beef is freshly killed and cooked. It is our store's signature dish. A few days ago, a young lady praised it for being delicious and ate half a plate by herself."

He Linzhang was a little anxious when he heard this and asked, "Did she come here with a masked man?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the man didn't have a good appetite and didn't eat much, but the girl and her maid ate happily. The girl is really the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, just like a fairy from heaven. She praised my stewed beef and said that she hadn't eaten a bite of beef for half a year. When she was leaving, she saw that there was a wrong word on the sign at my door, and she helped me correct it. She is really kind-hearted!"

He Linzhang quickly got up and went to the door to take a look. On a tattered wooden board with the names of dishes written on it, he immediately saw the word "sauce" written by Tao Yanyan.

The font was practiced according to the calligraphy copybook of Mr. Yougui that he gave me.

Others may not know, but He Linzhang could tell it at a glance, because Mr. Yougui was himself. He was good at calligraphy, and the characters he used when reviewing memorials and in daily life were of one font. The copybook was of another font, and he gave it directly to Tao Yanyan during that tour so that she could practice according to it.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had been riding at full speed for several days but had not encountered anyone from the Demon Cult. He thought he had followed the wrong direction and was a little anxious and discouraged. He was thinking about changing direction and taking another route. He didn't expect that she had passed by here two days ago.

When He Linzhang thought that her birthday was two days ago and he was not with her, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

He returned to the store: "How does the girl look? Is she injured?"

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously, "Sir, do you know that girl?" Seeing He Linzhang's stern face, he didn't dare to ask more questions and only answered honestly, "She looks fine. She has a good appetite and can eat."

He Linzhang felt relieved. As soon as the food was served, he started to eat it in big mouthfuls. Only after he was full did he have the strength to continue on his journey.

She was waiting for him, leaving clues for him, and looking forward to herself.

As for Tao Yanyan, she had been eating dry food for two days in a row after the beef dinner. She ate so much that she lost her appetite even when she saw dry food.

"Hey, can you send someone to hunt a rabbit and roast it? I've been eating steamed buns and pancakes all day long, and I really can't eat any more!" Tao Yanyan complained.

The Demon Lord rolled his eyes and gave the Dharma Protector a look. The Dharma Protector looked at everyone and selected two people: "Go, hunt two rabbits and bring them back as a snack for the young lady. We'll be waiting for you on the road ahead, so come quickly!"

As a result, it was not until the evening that the two men returned empty-handed.

The guardian was confused: "What's going on? This forest is so dense, how come you two can't even hunt a rabbit?"

The two of them felt very embarrassed and had bad luck. How come they didn’t see any animals with long legs along the way?

Tao Yanyan sighed, it seemed that his wish to eat meat would never come true.

Dali was standing aside chewing a steamed bun. As she was chewing, her ear moved. She hurriedly put the bun into her pocket and ran towards the grove, shaking her fat body. Everyone was confused and thought she was going to the bathroom. But after a while, Dali came back with a fat wild rabbit in her hand, smiling. She shouted to Tao Yanyan from a distance: "Miss, we caught it! It's fat and big, with a lot of meat!"

Tao Yanyan was dumbfounded: "Da Li, you are amazing, you actually caught a rabbit with your bare hands!"

Tao Yanyan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Dali with endless admiration.

Dali prepared the rabbit very neatly, and Tao Yanyan was responsible for roasting it.

The two of them divided the work, and before long, an enticing burnt aroma wafted through the forest.

Tao Yanyan took out the seasoning he brought with him and sprinkled it on the rabbit. The corner of the Demon Lord's mouth twitched: "You bring seasoning with you when you go out?"

It's really weird!

Tao Yanyan glanced at him and said, "The day you arrested me, I took the kids out for an outing and brought some snacks to eat on the way. I have a habit of carrying a seasoning packet with me in case I have to barbecue outdoors. What, haven't you seen someone who knows how to live like this? This is called the flavor of life, don't you understand?"

The Demon Lord looked at her for several times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Logically speaking, you are raised in the home of a fifth-rank official, you should be a pampered young lady, how come you know how to cook?"

Tao Yanyan kept moving his hands and said calmly: "Do it yourself, I will have enough food and clothing, I like to cook. Besides, how many young ladies from official families have you met? How can you be sure that young ladies from official families will not be able to cook?"
