Chapter 909
The maid in the kitchen was taken away and the faces in the hall were expressionless, as if they were used to it.
I broke down a little and wanted to say something, but suddenly it seemed as if I could only defend myself.
“They ……” the words came to my lips.
Then Bao Kun’s voice came to my ears, “I heard that the Mu family is not the only one who wants to protect you?”
I froze and raised my eyes to look at him, but the man’s gaze was so cold and icy that he simply did not dare to look directly at it.
I couldn’t help but bow my head, “What do you mean, sir?”
He hooked his lips and smiled coldly, “It’s just that, consider it a favour I’ve sold to the Mu family.”
After saying that, he looked at Dantu and spoke, “Let Miss Shen move freely around the house, don’t be condescending.”
“Yes!”
After saying that, he walked away.
I froze, a little confused.
It was night!
The bright moonlight spilled onto the courtyard, faintly, accompanied by the extraordinarily melodious sound of insects.
I got up from the bed, sat on the couch, and after a moment’s hesitation, got up and got out of bed.
With that word from Bao Kun, I was able to get in and out of the villa freely.
There was a landline in the villa, but I could not use it to make calls.
There was no guarantee that the landline in the villa would not be able to call out and cause trouble.
To get in and find Ouyang Nuo and the others, I had to be able to get into the operating theatre, but the only way to get in was with Danwei’s pupil scan.
I had no choice but to walk around the dark villa and finally returned to my bedroom in disarray.
Everything was normal for a few days, I tried a few times in Danwei’s mouth to find out how Ouyang Nuo and the others were doing, but all I got was that they were doing what they were supposed to be doing.
Lunchtime.
Rain comes and goes quickly in the tropics, and the air smells damp after a heavy downpour.
Looking at the many moths that had fallen outside the cottage, I couldn’t help but look up at Danwei, who was standing beside me like a log, and said carelessly, “These moths, they smell especially good when roasted, have you ever eaten them?”
He froze slightly, but responded in a very non-fluent Mandarin, “Yes!”
He seemed to understand, so I smiled and said, “Did you eat them in a restaurant? I ate it when I was very young, every time when the rain was over, I would pick up moths in the yard, then clean them and dry-fry them in a wok, and when their wings were almost all copied, I would add some oil and seasoning to them, it was particularly fragrant.”
Seeing his eyes sink slightly, as if he was remembering something, I couldn’t help but say, “It’s raining outside, so if you’re worried about me running away, come with me and pick up some moths, okay?”
He looked slightly stunned and hesitant, so I said, “Don’t think too much about it, I just miss the smell and want to taste it, nothing more.”
For a moment, he nodded, “Yes!”
I couldn’t help but smile, got up, looked at him and said, “Danwei, thank you!”
Then I took the basket from the kitchen and edged out of the cottage to pick up the moths that had fallen to the ground in the drizzle.
A dark hand placed a handful of moths in the basket and I froze, seeing it was Danwei looking down to pick them up.
I couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you eat them too?”
He hmmed and didn’t follow up.
I smiled, and in a moment I had picked up quite a few, so I carried them into the kitchen.
I would not have eaten this moth, but I had heard Yang Ting say that almost everyone in the southwest area had eaten it, and many people had the imprint of this moth in almost all their childhoods.

Now, looking at Danwei’s reaction, I think it’s true.
Because the region is different, naturally all the things experienced are also different.
After I put the moths in a pan and dry-fried them with oil and a small amount of seasoning, the moths became so dense and oily that they puffed up and looked like they would smell good with one bite.
Faintly smelling the aroma, Danwei followed me in and looked at me.
He froze and said, “You can do that?”
I nodded and smiled, “I used to make it when I was a kid, but it’s been years since I’ve done it and I’m a bit rusty, so I can only do it from memory.”
Handing him the finished moth, I smiled, “Try it?”
He smiled for the first time in his life, “Yes!”
Putting the full moth in his mouth, he chewed it slowly for a moment and then looked at me and said, “Not bad!”
People around the southwest, because of their living environment, like to eat things that look rather unacceptable, such as silkworm pupae, bamboo maggots, and locusts.
At that time in Forest Power, when Yang Ting was talking to us about these, I found it hard to accept for a while.
I found the so-called memories that came out of her mouth a little too chilling.
Now it seems that it was not quite so.
Seeing me dazed, he frowned at me, “Don’t you want a taste?”
I froze, reached for a moth and popped it into my mouth, it wasn’t too bad, if you ignored that it was a bug and treated it like a dish, it tasted wonderful, with a few protein notes, it was chic.
Eating the moth alone was too monotonous and I said with some regret, “It would have been nice to have a beer.”
Danwei laughed and took it upon himself to get a drink, but beer alone would have been useless, thanks to the medicine Ouyang Nuo had given me.
Danwei was a rough man, and after eating the moth and drinking the wine, he was much less defensive of me.
Dazed from his drink, he slumped on the table ready to rest.
I got up, walked over to him and spoke, “I’ll take you upstairs to get some rest!”
“No ……” he didn’t answer, but was already a little disoriented.
It was still a bit of a struggle to move him in my condition, but it was a good thing Dantoo wasn’t there and the servants in the villa were in the courtyard dealing with the water stains because it had just rained heavily.
Walking up to the door of the surgery gate, I spoke, saying, “Mr Danwell, would you look, is this your room over here?”
At the sound of his voice, he hmmed and did not make a response for half a day.
I was a little worried that the maid outside might come in, and in a moment spoke again, “Mr. Danwell, you ……”
Suddenly he raised his eyes and opened them, looking at me without moving.
I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart and broke out in a cold sweat as I opened my mouth and said, “Mr. Danwei, you ……”
“Don’t anger Sir, he’s more frightening than you think.” Just one sentence, and after that, he simply turned around and walked away somewhat shakily.
I froze in place, unable to say what I felt for a moment.
“I just wanted to see them, are they okay?” Looking at Danwei’s back, I spoke.
He spoke, “Not dead.”
I sat on the floor for a moment, a little broken, was this really all that could be done?
What if I went to beg Bao Kun?
Thinking about it, I stood up from the floor and walked towards the kitchen, picking up the knife that was sitting in the kitchen.
Slashing at my wrist!
This feeling was all too familiar to me, I had experienced it countless times in the days when my children were away.
