"Xiangxiang, I know a place where there are things that can be used to dye cloth."
"Where?"
"Not far ahead, there is a cave. There is a kind of insect in it called cochineal. This kind of insect has a red pigment in its body, which is perfect for dyeing cloth."
"Ah, cochineal insect, I've heard of it." Ruan Xiangxiang's eyes lit up: "The red pigment produced by this insect can not only be used to dye cloth, but can also be used to make many other things. It has great uses."
"Let's go, I'll take you there now." Chu Munan said, reaching out and taking her hand.
Ruan Xiangxiang stopped.
Chu Munan couldn't move, stopped and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
"Don't you see how late it is now?" Ruan Xiangxiang broke away from his hand and said unhappily: "I have been searching in the mountains for a whole day, and now I am tired and hungry. I want to go home to eat and rest."
It is indeed a double standard.
He cares about Miss Shen, and even asks her to come to Shuiyun Villa because he is afraid that she will be tired from working.
She has been tired all day, and I have to take her to the cave to look for cochineal insects.
Although his tone of voice was weak, his voice was not low.
Chu Munan stared at Xiaodouzi and asked, "Who gave her food?"
After returning, he quickly sent her back to the house, and then went to get food, hoping to have dinner with Ruan Xiangxiang.
Chu Munan had an idea and frowned: "Ouch, I suddenly feel a stomachache and no appetite."
However, when he came back, he was told that Ruan Xiangxiang had already had dinner and had gone to bed now.
"Oh, that's right." Chu Munan apologized repeatedly: "It's my fault, Xiangxiang, you are tired, do you want me to carry you down the mountain?"
Chu Munan could only be more attentive.
Xiaodouzi saw that Chu Munan's face looked a little bad, so he cautiously asked: "Young master, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Xiaodouzi saw that he was in severe pain and hurriedly came to help him.
"You?" Chu Munan looked at Xiaodouzi's smiling face and was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
Chu Munan covered his stomach with his left hand, waved his hand feebly with his right hand, and said feebly: "I haven't eaten anything from morning to night today, how could I eat the wrong thing? Ouch..."
In the room, Ruan Xiangxiang, who was already lying on the bed, was shocked by him.
Along the way, Chu Munan always wanted to find opportunities to talk to Ruan Xiangxiang, but Ruan Xiangxiang seemed to lack interest and ignored her.
Xiaodouzi said with a smile on his face asking for credit: "It's me. I know that the village owner has been tired for a long day, so I prepared food for her in advance and waited for her to come back to eat."
"Need not."
"Young Master, you...what's wrong with you? Why do you have a sudden stomachache? Did you eat the wrong thing?"
But in the end, he didn't do anything. Looking down at the food in his hand, Chu Munan suddenly felt that he had no appetite at all.
As he spoke, Chu Munan bent down slightly and covered his stomach with both hands, looking very uncomfortable.
Xiaodouzi asked anxiously.
Chu Munan waved his hand: "No...it's okay, I...I'm used to it..."
At this moment, Ruan Xiangxiang in the room was attracted by his voice, walked to the door, opened a crack in the door and looked out.
Chu Munan keenly caught the slightly opened crack in the door.
His eyebrows drooped, showing a look of self-pity.
"...Growing up, I have been hungry a lot. Anyway, no one in this world cares whether I have enough to eat or whether I am hungry. I am a person that no one cares about and no one loves..."
