After I traveled through the book, I spoiled the anorexic prince

Gu Qinghe led Xie Fuyi back to the village. On the way, they met villagers carrying hoes on their backs and walking home from the fields. They all greeted her with a smile.

An auntie who was scooping rice water to fertilize the vegetable field saw the man next to Gu Qinghe and asked curiously, "He girl, is this also your aunt's distant nephew? Did he come to your house for refuge?"

Gu Qinghe said: "I'm not here to seek refuge."

"Look at my eyes, I can't even recognize people." Seeing the misunderstanding, the aunt laughed and explained, "But it's really chaotic in the past few years. There are many people who come from the south to seek refuge in our area. I heard that your aunt He's family has a lady and two children who came to seek refuge here today."

Auntie Wang, who was weeding the vegetable field not far away, heard what she said, stood up holding a handful of weeds and followed up, "I went to take a look at them at noon, and they were so skinny, especially the little girl, who is only six or seven years old and is not as tall as my four-year-old grandson."

The eldest aunt said, "Aunt He already has four grandchildren to take care of, and now there are two or three more people asking for money. I don't know how she's going to get by in the future..."

"Alas, life is hard these days. If we don't take people in, we have to tighten our belts and make ends meet. We wish we could break up our silver into small pieces. A few days ago, I saw Wang Gengfu, who had five daughters in the next village, sell two of his children for money..."

The two women were chatting with each other, not noticing that the man in black who had just entered the village had a cold expression on his face.

Xie Fuyi jumped in front of Aunt Wang with a sword in hand and asked, "Where is Wang Gengfu's home?"

Aunt Wang was startled by the blood on his sword blade and said with trembling lips, "It's at the fork in the road leading to our village. The first thatched house you see when you enter is where they live."

Xie Fuyi stepped lightly, holding the sword and walked out of the village without saying a word.

Aunt Wang didn't expect that the gossip she casually said would attract the attention of the bloody man today. After his back disappeared, she came back to her senses with a pale face and asked Gu Qinghe who that person was and whether he would come to trouble her in the future.

"No, ma'am." Gu Qinghe shook her head and soothed her gently, "He is my master. Don't be fooled by the blood on his sword. He killed people like those bullying bandits fifteen years ago."

How could the Pavilion Master who could make Liu Bai mentioned together with the general, who would help others when seeing injustice in the town and who said "I hate bullying weak women in my life" be a man who would arbitrarily retaliate against a defenseless village woman?

I think it was the gossip that she had just sold her daughter to pay back the money that touched a nerve in him, and he started to act chivalrously again.

The two women felt relieved after hearing her explanation, but they didn't dare gossip about other people's affairs anymore. They took their things and hurried back home.

On the way back home alone, Gu Qinghe thought about the villagers who were so poor that they had to buy children. Having been educated in the new era and new ideas of the 21st century, she sighed slightly in her heart, but she also knew that she had no ability to change it now.

After staying here for more than ten days, Gu Qinghe was no longer as ignorant of this dynasty as she was when she first arrived. When the villagers were arguing about conscription and Mr. Ning Yun that day, she specifically asked Aunt Gu about it.

More than 20 years ago, the late emperor saved the Yan Dynasty from the brink of extinction, and then led the army in person to intimidate the surrounding countries, large and small, that were ready to make moves.

The previous emperor passed away six years ago, and the countries that were frightened at that time wanted to expand their territory and annex Yan Dynasty again. However, Yan Dynasty was experiencing a turbulence in imperial power. Three months later, the first thing the new emperor did after ascending the throne was to recruit troops to attack the surrounding countries.
