Chapter 179 Making Mooncakes for the First Time

"Say it again!" Mo Mingjie pointed at Chujiu with a trembling finger, wishing he could eat her alive.

However, the next moment, an invisible force hit his wrist, forcing him to put down the hand that was pointing at Chujiu.

He looked at Mo Xinglan in shock, only to see murderous intent flashing in Mo Xinglan's eyes.

Chujiu pretended to be scared and hid near Mo Xinglan, and said cautiously: "Ah! I will tell you what you want me to say? I was clearly asking Mo Yun, not you. You are not Mo Yun, what are you answering?"

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, turned to look at Mo Yun, waiting for her answer.

For a moment, everyone looked at her, but she just pursed her lips and looked up at Mo Xinglan hesitantly.

I found that he was just looking at me coldly. I remembered the day on the cliff above the magic forest, when he jumped off the cliff without hesitation to save Chujiu.

At first, she just wanted him to look at her more. But then Chujiu appeared and she saw Chujiu always circling around him. She became jealous and was not satisfied with him just looking at her. She wanted to get him and get into his heart. So she wanted to kill Chujiu.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, since she came to the Mo family and saw him, he had never even looked at her once. And now that he finally looked at her, his eyes were filled with coldness.

Why couldn't she be the one by his side? Why couldn't she be the one he liked? It was obvious that he knew her first.

Mo Yun never answered. In the end, he just turned around and left with reluctance and sadness.

"Xiao Yun, where are you going? Wait for me." Seeing her running away without saying anything, Mo Mingjie turned around and chased after her.

He did not forget to turn around and warn Chujiu: "Just wait for me."

After saying that, he turned around and chased Mo Yun.

Chujiu made faces at Mo Mingjie's receding back: "I'm afraid of you, lelele..."

At this time, Chu Furong came to her side with a serious face: "Why did you hit Mo Yun just now?"

It would be fine if she hit someone from another family, but she happened to hit someone from the Mo family, and the person was the disciple of the Mo family's patriarch.

But luckily it was Mo Yun who was hit instead of Mo Mingjie, otherwise there would have been a big fuss today.

But the Chu and Mo families have always been on good terms, and she was afraid that there would be a rift because of them, so she had to find out the reason. And from what she just said, she and Mo Yun should have had a grudge.

Gao Yashan and Zhuohua came behind Chu Furong curiously, looking at Chu Jiu and waiting for her answer.

Everyone was staring at Chujiu for a while, which made Chujiu feel flattered. He put away the gloating on his face, laughed dryly twice and sighed: "Alas, she and Xu Lian harmed me together and made me fall off the cliff, and then Mo Xinglan saw me and saved me."

After she finished speaking, Chu Furong and the others were stunned for a while, but Mo Xinglan had a blank expression on his face.

She could talk about what happened so easily. If he hadn't arrived in time, how dangerous it would have been for her to fall into the magic forest alone, did she know?

Chu Furong came back to her senses with a serious expression: "Why did she want to harm you? And she teamed up with Xu Lian."

"How should I know? She must be mentally ill." Chujiu shrugged.

Chu Furong saw that she really didn't know and sighed and stopped asking. She thought that this might be related to her previous confusion, just like Lingling.

Speaking of Lingling, her eyelashes drooped slightly.

……

Afterwards, as it was getting late, they went back to the inn.

On the way, Chu Jiu supported Mo Xinglan and looked at Chu Furong in front of him for a long time. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Second sister, I remember that you have a good relationship with Li Lingling."

Mo Xinglan beside her trembled slightly after hearing this and glanced at her. Why did she still care about that woman?

"Hmm. Why did you suddenly mention Lingling?" Chu Furong looked back at her and continued walking forward.

"Why didn't she come to see you on a day like Mid-Autumn Festival?" In her impression, good friends should get together on such days.

Chu Furong pondered for a moment and sighed, then replied earnestly, "I don't know what's wrong with Lingling recently. She's not feeling well."

When she went to see Li Lingling a few days ago, she almost didn't recognize her. Li Lingling was a mess, not only that, but she also looked crazy. There were two people following her, who should be the other two people who came with Li Lingling.

She asked Li Lingling, but Li Lingling didn't recognize her at all. She had no choice but to ask the two people, but they didn't know what was wrong. They found a doctor but couldn't find anything either. They just said that Li Lingling might have been too frightened and turned into this.

Li Lingling often went out for training, and they would always be with her, but they couldn't be with her all the time. So a few days ago, she fainted, and she was like this when she woke up.

Chujiu didn't know about this, and his eyebrows jumped and he thought to himself, "Could it be that she has been in poor health since she left the inn?"

Don't wrongly accuse her again.

But Chu Furong shook her head: "No, don't think too much. Lingling was like this after she woke up from the injury she suffered during the training on the third day after leaving the inn."

"Oh." That's good. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Xinglan smiled lightly when he saw her appearance and raised his hand to rub her head.

How could he not have thought of this? That's why the drug took effect a little slower.

Chujiu looked up at him with a puzzled look. Why did he suddenly touch her head again?

But he smiled at her tenderly. She had no choice but to stop thinking about it. Maybe he cared about her.

……

In the courtyard brightly lit by candlelight at night, there was a square table with six people at the table: an old man, a demon, two young boys and two girls.

It was these five people and one demon that made the courtyard, which should have been deserted on the Mid-Autumn Night, become extremely lively.

According to Hualing custom, they are giving away mooncakes they made themselves.

At this time, only the ninth day of the lunar new year had not yet been given mooncakes.

She opened the lid of the wooden box in front of her, and six mooncakes carved with different patterns lay quietly inside.

The appearance of the mooncake is not very good, which is enough to show that it is the masterpiece of someone who made mooncakes for the first time.

She used chopsticks to pick up the mooncakes one by one and put them on the plates in front of the people. After picking them up, she dodged a glance and said, "Well, this is my first time making mooncakes, so maybe the taste will be a little weird."

She knew that she was not very talented in cooking, and it was good enough that it was edible, so she said that.

"Don't worry, since Xiaojiu prepared it for us with care, we will finish it." Gao Yashan looked at Chujiu and said with a smile.

Chujiu smiled a little embarrassedly. If he said that, what if it really doesn't taste good, wouldn't she be a sinner?

The old shopkeeper saw what Chujiu was thinking and laughed, "After all, it's my first time learning, so it's normal that the taste is a little special. I still can't make it, old man."

As he spoke, he looked at the mooncake in front of him and carefully observed the carvings on it: "But little girl, the carvings on your mooncakes are all different. What do they mean?"
