Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

After eating and drinking, the group set off again.

Taking into account the cold nights and heavy dew in autumn, Yan Yiyi no longer insisted on resting in the wild. Instead, he chose a village based on the route he had walked several times before and stayed at a fellow villager's home.

There were so many of them that it was impossible for them to live in one yard. In the small village, families with extra rooms would vacate one or two rooms for them to stay in.

They just borrowed the room for one night and paid twenty cents. If they needed to take a shower, they had to pay ten cents more. None of the villagers were unhappy.

For dinner, they found a vacant lot and drew water from the villagers' well. This did not affect the villagers' daily life at all. Instead, the delicious food attracted many children to come and watch.

They didn't cook any meat, nor did they have time to go to the mountains to dig vegetables. However, they hunted three pheasants and bought some vegetables and dried mushrooms from the villagers. They stewed the pheasants with mushrooms, made a pot of egg, vegetable and pork soup, and finally stewed a pot of dried meat and vegetables.

There are not many varieties, but each one contains meat, which will attract children to come and watch, right?

Fortunately, there were only a dozen children gathered around, otherwise it would be difficult for them to divide the food.

The children were strictly required to eat here together and not go home. The children obeyed them well and there was some leftovers in the end, so they were each given some to take home.

The village is called Niujia Village. It is not far from Guyang County and an adult can reach the village by walking for a morning. However, such a distance is very far for children. Therefore, they have never been to the county since they were born.

But they had been to the town, and it only took them one or two hours to walk to the town in the other direction. That town was not on the official road that Yan Yiyi and his party took, so they naturally would not pass by that town.

The village was not too backward, but it was not very rich either. While the secret guards were cooking, Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye strolled around the village and found that the land here was quite suitable for growing sweet potatoes.

If her guess was correct, this year County Magistrate Chen would reserve half of the sweet potatoes as seeds so that all the villagers in Guyang County could plant them.

How to implement the specific matters is their business.

The next morning, the group set out again. They were not so lucky today as there were not many villages along this stretch of the road. They were destined to sleep outdoors at night. However, Yan Yi had asked them to sleep on the large oil paper cloth prepared in advance. As long as it didn't rain heavily, they could just block the dew and there would be no problem.

Coincidentally, this is where water spinach is found.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye went straight there, and sure enough, the water spinach there was growing very lushly, and the seeds she had been longing for also appeared.

At this season, the originally muddy land has now dried up. Without the nourishment of water, the water spinach has begun to turn yellow and lose its leaves.

When Hua Muyu came over, she saw her sister and brother-in-law sticking their butts up, doing something unknown.

"Sister, brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Yan Yiyi turned to look at Hua Muyu and instructed, "Go back and find a jar or a large bowl to put the seeds in for us."

"Seeds?" Hua Muyu curiously leaned over to take a look. He was familiar with the plants in front of him!

Water spinach has become one of his favorite vegetables, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister, with these seeds, can we grow it in the spring?"

"Yeah, so go get me a container!"

"Yeah, okay!" Hua Muyu responded, turned around and ran away.

He ran back and brought back two curious big babies. Hua Murong naturally remembered this place, but she was really curious about the seeds of water spinach!

Hua Muchin was determined to find a way to make money. How could he miss the seeds of water spinach, which was a magic weapon for making money? Of course he had to take a look.

So the five people started picking water spinach seeds on the ground.

"Oh! Sister, the seeds are too small and they all fell to the ground." Hua Muyu looked at the seeds that she dropped into the dry soil with a look of regret.

"Then just let them fall. That's how they grew. For them, this is their hometown. Do you have the nerve not to leave seeds for them?" Yan Yiyi teased.

Hua Muyu put down the seeds in her hand and couldn't help but touch her arm which was covered with goose bumps: "Sister, you said they are just like people. How can I eat them in the future?"

The two older brothers turned a blind eye and even didn't want to admit that this little brat was their younger brother. It was simply embarrassing. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here.

Yan Yiyi had walked the official road from Guyang County to Liangguan County twice and had some idea about whether there were any villages nearby. Especially since they had a secret guard responsible for exploring the way ahead, even if she had overlooked some places before, she didn't have to worry about it now that someone was responsible for exploring the way.

Therefore, throughout this trip, they had experience living in the wild and had only discovered water spinach in this place.

Two days later, they arrived safely in Liangguan County and returned to the courtyard that Hua Murong had bought to rest for a few days and prepare food before continuing their journey.

After leaving Liangguan County, not to mention Yan Yiyi, neither Xin Ye was very familiar with the place, so the arrangements for the rest of the journey were left to the two brothers.

In order to make their sister have a comfortable journey, the two brothers spent a whole day planning the route. At this time, Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye, together with the bright light bulb Hua Muyu, went to the market for fun.

The last time Hua Muyu was in a hurry to find Yan Yiyi and did not stay in Liangguan County for long, nor did she have extra time to enjoy herself. This time, she must broaden her horizons.

When they arrived in Liangguan County, some of Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye's forgotten memories began to awaken, so the two chose to go to a teahouse to drink tea.

Hua Muyu drank a cup of tea and felt a little restless, so Yan Yiyi arranged for his secret guard to take him out to play and return home before dinner.

After getting permission, Hua Muyu could not wait even a second and left the teahouse with her people.

Without anyone getting in the way, the two of them didn't need to be too reserved when talking, especially since there weren't many outsiders here. But they weren't sure if there was anyone in the private room next door, so the two of them still spoke in a somewhat obscure manner.

It was still the same waiter, but Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi remembered the waiter, while the waiter couldn’t remember them, but felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

"Brother Xiaoer, we want to ask you something, is that okay?" As he said that, Xin Ye quietly slipped some copper coins to Brother Xiaoer.

The waiter didn't look closely, but roughly estimated that it was about his one-day salary. He immediately showed a "friendly" smile on his face: "Customer, please feel free to ask. As long as I can answer, I will tell you everything I know."

"It's like this. We happened to come to Liangguan County a month ago. We witnessed the "miracle" of "Ji De". We want to ask if "Ji De" has appeared again since then?"

When the waiter heard that they were asking about this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No, he hasn't appeared since he got good karma. I wonder if he went somewhere else."
