The man kept looking at it intently, his eyes never leaving the bracelet.
When Luo Shuiyao looked up, she saw that his eyes were fixed on the bracelet. After a moment's thought, she handed him the bracelet and sandpaper and said, "Come, try it yourself."
After hearing this, the man looked up at her, hesitated slightly, then reached out and took the bracelet from her hand and began to polish it.
Luo Shuiyao watched for a while longer, then glanced at him with a hint of surprise. This man looked like someone special. No wonder there were reports in previous lives that special people were often gifted. He had only observed for a short while, yet he had already mastered all the techniques and strength required for polishing.
Don't be fooled by the man's frail appearance, but in fact, he had tremendous strength in his hands. It only took Luo Shuiyao a third of the time to polish one bead, and then he started polishing another. Luo Shuiyao sat quietly beside him, looking at him with her head tilted, and unknowingly gradually became lost in thought.
As time slowly passed, it was unclear how much time had passed until the last bead was polished. The man then stood up, patted his body gently, and shook off the scattered wood chips.
Seeing him move, Luo Shuiyao also came back to her senses, stood up, looked up at the sky, and asked, "We've been out for too long. Should we go back now?"
"Okay." A slightly hoarse male voice came. Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken for too long, so there was a little sluggishness in the voice, but fortunately, the words were still clear.
Luo Shuiyao turned around and looked at him in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You can speak."
The man still looked at her expressionlessly, and just said "hmm" softly, and then there was no further words.
Luo Shuiyao was also quite surprised. He had been here for such a long time without saying a word. She thought he was speechless, but she didn't expect that he was just a talkative person.
"Do you know the way? Can you take me out? I can't seem to find the way out now." Luo Shuiyao asked.
The man raised his eyes to look at her, said "hmm" softly, and then bent down.
The little white cat had been quietly standing by, and when it saw the man bend down, it jumped into his arms. The man gently stroked the kitten's head, then took two steps forward with the kitten in his arms, and then turned back to look at Luo Shuiyao, as if to signal her to follow.
Luo Shuiyao looked at him, then her eyes moved down to the cat in his arms, and she secretly complained: Well, she finally knew who this cat learned to look at people every two steps from.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Luo Shuiyao replied softly, then took a step and followed the man.
The man saw her catch up from the corner of his eye, but he ignored her and strode straight ahead. The two of them followed the winding path, turning and twisting for a long time before arriving at a relatively open area.
Luo Shuiyao looked up and saw a small courtyard in the distance. At this time, the breeze brought the sound of people's voices.
She subconsciously looked at the man beside her and saw that he did not pause at all. After a moment's thought, she quickened her pace and followed him towards the courtyard.
Before the two of them got close, they heard voices calling from not far away: "Master, Master, where are you?"
The man paused at the sound, tilted his head slightly, and listened intently to its source. After determining the direction, he turned slightly and strode towards the source of the sound.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but hesitate, and couldn't decide whether she should follow.
The man walked a few steps and found that she didn't follow him. He turned to look at her, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, as if he was puzzled, and seemed to be urging her. Luo Shuiyao made up her mind and quickly followed.
The two of them walked through the half-human-high flowers in front of them and came to the side of the courtyard. There they saw a man who looked like a servant standing there, looking around anxiously and constantly calling "Young Master". When he saw them appear, a look of surprise instantly appeared on the servant's face, and he hurried to greet them.
The servant quickly stepped forward, circled the man, and examined him carefully from head to toe. Seeing that his clothes, though slightly scratched by weeds, were intact and that he was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then, a hint of complaint entered his voice: "Master, why did you disappear for so long this time? You didn't take Abao with you, and Abao was so worried. Abao has been looking for you everywhere for a long time, but there's nothing we can do. We've already sent someone to tell Madam."
The man seemed to have not heard the servant's words. He simply lowered his eyes, staring intently at the ball of snow-white fur in his arms. The servant seemed accustomed to being ignored like this. Although he complained, he didn't expect a response. He simply patted his chest and said repeatedly, "It's okay. I'm glad you're back safely. I'm glad you're back safely."
He glanced to the side and saw Luo Shuiyao standing not far from them, looking at them. The servant who called himself Abao looked at Luo Shuiyao, blinked, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. Then he turned to look at the man and asked, "Master, who is this...?"
Although he asked this, his gaze remained on Luo Shuiyao, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, and a hint of vigilance.
Luo Shuiyao was keenly aware of A Bao's vigilance. She looked up at the man beside her and saw that he seemed to have not heard her and was still immersed in his own world.
Luo Shuiyao was not annoyed. She smiled gently and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I am a guest who came to the banquet today. I just lost my way. Fortunately, I met your young master. He was kind enough to bring me out."
"What did you say?"
Ah Bao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes widening, "My young master was so kind as to bring you out?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. He quickly turned to look at his young master, who was silent and lowering his eyes. He was truly amazed. After all, his young master rarely spoke to anyone. Even to his wife, the master, or even himself, who had served him since childhood, he rarely even got a response from him. He couldn't understand why his young master would bother with a stranger he had just met.
Seeing A Bao so surprised and full of doubts, Luo Shuiyao thought he didn't believe her, so she hurriedly explained, "It's true, thanks to your young master's kindness. Now I'm out, and I'd like to ask you to help me find a way out. The banquet ahead is probably about to end, so I should go back."
A Bao stared at Luo Shuiyao for a long time before he closed his mouth in surprise. After hearing what she said, he quickly responded, "Oh, okay, just keep going along this road, turn left in front, and then walk along the main road to the main hall in front.
