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

Out of habit, Yan Yiyi secretly checked the furnishings in the room. The room was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that the owner was a clean-loving person who tidied up regularly.

The furniture used were all old, at least fifty or sixty years old, but looking at the eldest sister's age, she was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Logically speaking, in ancient times, this eldest sister would have been almost a grandmother, but there were no children's items in the house.

At this time, the eldest sister brought two bowls of tea, one for her and one in front of herself, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Jia, this is a country place. I picked these teas from the mountains and roasted them myself. Please try them."

Yan Yiyi played the role of a naive and kind girl. She picked up the tea and sniffed it lightly. In her elder sister's eyes, she was smelling the tea and tasting it, but the truth was that she wanted to smell whether there was any strange smell.

Having lived in the apocalypse for more than ten years, she has always assumed the greatest malice towards people.

After confirming that the tea did not have any strange taste, she took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea filled her mouth. Although Yan Yiyi did not show any emotion on her face, she was very happy in her heart.

Yan Yiyi put down the teacup, looking embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Big sister, I haven't asked how to address you yet?"

"My husband's family name is Wang, my maiden family name is Li, and I am Wang Li."

Yan Yiyi smiled and called out sweetly, "Sister Li, how are you?"

Wang Li smiled happily: "Okay, if you don't mind, I'll give you a set of my clothes to wear."

"How could I dislike it? I have to thank Sister Li!"

Wang Li went back to her room and took out a set of half-worn clothes, then led Yan Yiyi to an empty room to change clothes.

Yan Yiyi changed into a simple coarse cloth dress with several patches embroidered on it, but such a cheap outfit could not conceal her temperament.

Wang Li's eyes lit up, but she said, "Miss Jia, I'm really sorry, I only have a few sets of clothes."

I have several sets of clothes, but I took out the most worn one...

Yan Yiyi glanced at her clothes that were 70% new and had no patches, and she suppressed her expression and smiled lightly, saying, "It's okay, I'll borrow it for a while, and I'll change back after my clothes are washed and dried. Thank you, Sister Li, for lending me your clothes."

What this means is that she would not covet a piece of her cloth, nor would she rely on her family.

At the same time, Yan Yiyi became alert. Would a stingy person be so generous in inviting outsiders into his home and even offer them tea?

But there was indeed nothing wrong with the tea. Perhaps she had some other tricks up her sleeve. For now, I could only deal with them as they came. At worst, I could just destroy the body and cover up all traces. Since I was here, no one else saw me.

The most important thing is that her name is not Jia Ming, and there is no need to worry about her leaving any death information.

"Um... Sister Li, it's getting late now. I'll wash my clothes first and hang them out to dry overnight so I can change into them tomorrow. Sorry to bother you tonight."

"You're welcome. Go wash the clothes first. I'll go cook."

Half an hour later, Wang Li called her to eat. Yan Yiyi had just hung up the clothes, so she went to the kitchen and sat down to eat with her at the small table.

Dinner consisted of coarse grain steamed buns, a dish of wild vegetables and a dish of pickles.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jia, these are all the food I have at home."

Yan Yiyi forced a smile and replied, "It's okay. It's good enough to fill my stomach. I've been hungry for a few days."

Seeing her sitting down, Yan Yiyi said, "Sister Li, you are the elder, so you should start eating first."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li smiled and said, "You are worthy of being a young lady raised in a wealthy family. You have very good manners, unlike us country women. But please don't be polite in front of me." As she said that, she picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Yan Yiyi confirmed that she was fine and then withdrew his gaze. He picked up the multi-grain steamed bun in the bowl, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he swallowed it.

"Haha, it's really nice to see everyone having a meal."

Yan Yiyi smiled and didn't respond. She picked a wild vegetable to eat. The wild vegetable was bitter and astringent. She didn't know if it was a problem with the ingredient itself or her cooking skills.

"Sister Li, why haven't I seen anyone else in the family come home so late?"

"Haha, I had just been married for less than two years when my husband passed away. The villagers disliked me for being unlucky and rarely interacted with me. I usually picked up some food on the outskirts of the mountain and made some embroidery to exchange for copper coins in the town."

"I'm sorry, I don't know, bringing up your sad story." She said that, but she had doubts in her heart.

It is said that there are many troubles around a widow. The fact that she could live such a comfortable life could not be achieved by her embroidery alone, because from what she had seen of her embroidery, it was just average.

He ate a multi-grain steamed bun as a token of his appreciation and didn't move any more.

She slept in the room where she changed her clothes at night, and made up her mind to leave early the next morning. In consideration of her taking her in for one night, she would leave her a few dozen copper coins, but no more.

She would live on the few taels of silver she stole from the four men, so how could she afford to spend lavishly?

Yan Yiyi did not fall asleep immediately after lying on the bed. Instead, she fell asleep after hearing Wang Li go to bed. After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching and she instantly woke up and sat up.

The footsteps belonged to Wang Li, but she did not let her guard down. Instead, she became even more alert.

She slept with her clothes on, so she didn't need to put on clothes after getting up. After getting out of bed, she tiptoed to the door and looked through the crack.

Wang Li was seen changing into a plain dress, burning paper money in the brazier, mumbling something, and faintly heard saying "How are you over there?" and "I'm fine."

Is she commemorating her late husband?

However, when she smelled a faint strange fragrance mixed with incense, candles and paper money, it was too late when she wanted to cover her mouth and nose.

She only felt darkness before her eyes, and lost consciousness the next second.

When Wang Li heard the sound of someone falling to the ground, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Haha, she knew that this girl was not someone who could be easily fooled. Fortunately, she had an extra trick up her sleeve, otherwise this fat fish would have slipped away.

She didn't believe a word the little girl said, but what did it matter?

All she wants is to keep this person!

Wang Li slowly stood up: "Okay, you can come out now."

A man walked out of his room, his eyes twinkling, a sly smile on his lips, and he said to Wang Li: "As expected of Sister Li, you can get it done in one go."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take her away under the cover of night. Remember, don't touch her. This good stuff can be sold for at least one hundred taels."

"Hey! I don't need to." The man went over and opened the door, carried the unconscious Yan Yiyi on his shoulders. A carriage stopped in front of Wang Li's house. After she was thrown in, the man drove the carriage away quickly.

He wanted to sell the person far away before he woke up, and he had to go to the county to get a good price. This small, broken town could not afford the high price of one hundred taels.

The sound of horse hooves rang out in the silent forest. The road was too dark at night and the man did not dare to let the horse run too fast. It was already the hour of Yin when he arrived outside the town. The city gate was not open yet, which was a good opportunity for him to take a nap and wait until the city gate opened at dawn before rushing to the county.
