Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 332 Sit down to eat

The matter of the mosquito monster has come to an end for the time being. Li Zhi looked at the sky outside the window and saw that it was still early and not too late. He suddenly remembered that he had not had time to ask Situ Han in detail about the relevant matters of paying tribute to the Wei Dynasty.

After all, this matter is quite important and I have been thinking about it all the time, so I decided to go find Situ Han and have a good chat about it right now.

Besides, Situ Han had just helped him a lot, so it was a good opportunity to go and thank him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi got up and left the inn. He thought that it was almost time for dinner and it would not be good to go empty-handed.

So he went to a nearby restaurant and carefully selected several delicious dishes. He asked the waiter to pack them up and prepared to take them to Situ Han's home so that they could talk while eating.

Not long after, Li Zhi arrived at the door of Situ Han's house.

He subconsciously looked at the place where the old man sat last time at the door, but found that the old man was not there this time.

Li Zhi couldn't help but shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart that he had specially bought some cakes and pastries, intending to bring them to the old man to try. Last time, Li Zhi noticed the old man's expression when he saw the cakes, so he guessed that the old man must be a person who likes sweets and cakes.

But I didn't expect that he was not there when I bought some pastries for him.

However, Li Zhi changed his mind and thought that maybe the old man was staying at Situ Han's house at this moment. Thinking of this, Li Zhi stepped in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Situ Han sitting leisurely under the big tree in the yard, holding a book in his hands and reading intently.

Hearing the sound of Li Zhi coming in, Situ Han slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Zhi.

When he saw that it was Li Zhi, Situ Han immediately showed a gentle smile on his face and said jokingly: "I thought you would come to see me tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

When Li Zhi heard Situ Han say this, he also laughed and responded, "I thought I had nothing to do right now, so I thought of coming over to have a meal with you and chat with you, Brother Situ."

As he spoke, Li Zhi walked to the stone table and placed the packed food and pastries in his hands on the table.

Situ Han looked at the food on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face full of anticipation, he laughed and said, "Haha, you really understand my thoughts. I usually don't enjoy my meals by myself, but today I have the good fortune to try the food in this restaurant."

Li Zhi smiled and looked around. He found that the old man was indeed nowhere to be seen. He was curious and asked, "Brother Situ, when I came to your house last time, I saw the old man sitting at your door. Who is he? I think he is quite interesting and I have always been curious about him."

Before Situ Han could answer, Li Zhi heard a noisy sound coming from behind him.

"You are such a good bastard, Situ! You actually wanted to cheat on me!"

The voice sounded angry, and it was obvious that the person was very angry.

Li Zhi hurriedly turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw the old man running towards him angrily, glaring at Situ Han as he ran.

When the old man ran closer and saw that it was Li Zhi who came, he finally reacted and realized that it must be Li Zhi who brought food.

The old man glanced at Li Zhi unhappily, and said in a mocking tone, "He came here without even telling me. I thought he was going to eat all the delicious food for himself!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't see you at the door just now, but I did bring some cakes with me this time, and I wanted to give them to you to try."

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, the old man's eyes lit up when he heard there were cakes. Without bothering to say anything more, he rushed to Li Zhi, reached out and took the cake that Li Zhi bought, and couldn't wait to eat a small piece.

As soon as the cake entered his mouth, the old man immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had eaten the most delicious thing in the world, and he kept muttering: "Mm, delicious, delicious!"

Then, the old man quickly wrapped up the remaining cakes and carefully put them into his arms.

Then, the old man said to Li Zhi with a big smile on his face: "Hey, come if you want to. Why don't you bring anything? You're so polite. Come sit down and let's eat."

Li Zhi looked at the old man's expression changing so quickly in surprise. He felt a little amused and turned to look at Situ Han.

Situ Han seemed to be accustomed to the old man's behavior. He just smiled and waved his hand slightly at Li Zhi, indicating that he should not mind it.

Seeing that everyone was present, the three of them sat down around the stone table and began to eat.

Li Zhi originally thought that he could take advantage of the meal time to talk to Situ Han about paying tribute to the Wei Dynasty.

But what was unexpected was that as soon as they sat down, both Situ Han and the interesting old man's eyes lit up when they saw the table full of delicious food. They didn't bother to say anything and just started to eat. They ate as if they had been hungry for several days. They ate with relish, as if no one was around.

Seeing this, Li Zhi swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He thought that everyone was eating happily at the moment, and it would seem inappropriate if he rashly opened his mouth to talk about something.

So he suppressed what he was about to say and followed them in eating their meal attentively.

Soon, the three of them had eaten up all the food on the table, completing a complete clean plate campaign.

After the old man finished eating, he wiped his mouth contentedly, burped, and said, "I'm full."

After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked to the side with his hands behind his back.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood in his heart that the old man saw that he wanted to discuss something with Situ Han, so he deliberately found an excuse to leave to make room for them.

Li Zhi looked at the old man's figure gradually going away, then he turned his head to look at Situ Han and asked curiously, "Brother Situ, who is this old man? I think he is quite interesting and feels special."

Situ Han also followed Li Zhi's gaze and glanced in the direction the old man left. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This father-in-law is called Zeng Fan. Now... he is just an ordinary old man living in my house."

Situ Han spoke simply, his tone revealing a reluctance to dwell on the matter, and it was clear that he did not want to go deeper into the topic.

Li Zhi was also a smart man. He could tell that Situ Han was reluctant to talk more, so he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

However, he was secretly thinking in his heart, judging from the old man's usual behavior and Situ Han's attitude towards him, he felt vaguely that Zeng Fan might not be a simple person.

But since Situ Han didn't want to say it, I shouldn't ask him any further.

Since Situ Han didn't want to talk more about the old man, Li Zhi naturally changed the subject and brought the topic to something he had always been concerned about.

He looked at Situ Han and said, "Brother Situ, I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to ask about the tribute to Wei. I came to you today to ask you about it."

Situ Han seemed to have expected Li Zhi to ask this question. He nodded slightly and replied, "Well, going to Wei to pay tribute is a matter of great importance. We do need to make more preparations."

Then, Situ Han told Li Zhi...
