Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

When Li Yu went out, he found that not only he was woken up, but other guests were also woken up.

A man stood at the door of the lighted room, his whole body filled with anger.

"It's the middle of the night and you're still not going to sleep. If you're not, get out!" As he said that, he banged on the door twice.

The noisy room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, no sound was heard.

The man snorted coldly, "You have to be scolded before you shut up, are you cheap bones?"

These were not pleasant words, and Li Yu frowned. At this moment, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and the girl who had spoken to her at night came out.

The girl apologized to the man awkwardly: "Sir, I'm sorry, my father is sick and I disturbed you just now. But don't worry, my father won't make any more noises."

When the man saw that it was a girl, his expression eased a little and his eyes changed slightly. Then, he stood on tiptoe to look inside the house.

When he saw that there was a young man in the room besides the old man, his face turned ugly again.

"You'd better keep that old man under control." The man said sternly, "If you make any more noise, I'll kick you out."

The girl shrank her neck and responded weakly.

The man returned to his room arrogantly. The girl was about to go back to her room, but when she looked up, she saw Li Yu standing at the stairs with a lamp in her hand.

"Madam, were we also the ones who woke you up?" The girl walked over and said apologetically, "It's our fault today. We are so sorry."

Li Yu wanted to say it was okay, but his eyes inadvertently saw the pinch marks on the woman's neck.

Seeing her staring at her neck, the woman quickly lowered her head and explained: "I had a nightmare and accidentally pinched myself."

How could I have pinched her like this? Looking at the marks, it was clearly someone else who pinched her. Li Yu thought, looking past the woman and into the house.

Who attacked the old man and the man in the room?

She guessed, and the next moment, she got the answer.

*

I heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then the old man ran out waving a knife. He looked crazy and muttered something.

The man ran out of the house after him and tried to grab him, but he had a knife in his hand and the man couldn't touch him at all.

"Ghost, ghost!" the old man shouted loudly, accompanied by the howling sound of the wind, giving people a weird feeling.

When the woman saw the old man running out, her face turned pale. She subconsciously tried to stop him, but the old man scratched the back of her hand.

"Dad." The woman was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Li Yu. "He's not in his right mind right now. If you go over there, he'll just chop you."

"But my father..." The woman cried, "What about my father?"

At this time, the doors upstairs opened one after another, and everyone came out with lights. Everyone was very angry at being woken up in the middle of the night, but after seeing the old man's appearance, no one spoke loudly.

This old man is crazy, so it’s better not to mess with him. What if he cuts you?

*

Li Yu heard the complaints and looked up to the second floor. He saw a guard from the East Palace and waved to him to come down.

"Can you take the knife from his hand?" she asked, pointing at the crazy old man.

Guard: “Yes.”

Li Yu looked at the woman and said, "My people can help, but they might hurt your father in the process of snatching."

"It's okay, lady, please help me." The man interrupted anxiously, "Please help my father."

The woman nodded as well.

Since both of them agreed, Li Yu winked at the guard, and the guard immediately stepped forward.

Being sent by the prince to protect Li Yu, his martial arts skills must be quite good. He walked directly behind the old man, jumped up, and grabbed the old man's knife hand.

The old man struggled hard and the guard kicked him in the leg.

Seeing this, the man on the side hurried forward to help restrain the old man, "Dad, Dad, don't move."

*

The guard took the old man's knife away, and Li Yu took it and handed it to the waiter who came running over in a panic.

The old man was probably tired of yelling, and now that he had lost his weapon, his mood gradually calmed down.

The man quickly took him into the house, while the woman stood outside and apologized to everyone.

It was the middle of the night and it was cold outside. Although everyone was angry, they didn't curse too harshly. They just told her to take good care of the old man and not to make any more noise, and then they went back to their rooms.

Li Yu also prepared to go back and rest.

Before leaving, she asked the woman if she needed help with bandaging, but the woman waved her hand and said, "Thank you, ma'am. No, I can clean up by myself. You should go back and rest."

Seeing that her injuries were not that serious, Li Yu nodded and went upstairs back to her room.

*

In the second half of the night, the old man didn't cause any more trouble and everyone slept soundly.

The next day, Li Yu packed up his things and prepared to leave after dinner.

However, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw the woman.

The woman held a cloth bag and handed it to her. "Madam, thank you for your help last night. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it."

Li Yu waved her hand: "I didn't do anything, I don't need your thanks, you should just put your things away."

The woman was dressed in ordinary clothes and her family was probably not wealthy, so there was no need for her to take her things at this time.

The woman thought Li Yu had misunderstood, and hurriedly opened the cloth bag. "This is a small boat that my father made before he was sick. It's not worth much. Please accept it, or I will feel uneasy."

Li Yu lowered her eyes. The wooden boat was about the same size as her palm and was crudely made. There were even barbs on the wood used to make the hull.

"We don't have much money and can't afford expensive things. This boat is the only good thing we have right now. Please accept it, madam." The woman pushed the boat forward again, with a sincere look on her face.

In that case, she accepted it.

Li Yu took the boat and said with a smile, "Thank you, young lady."

The woman quickly shook her head, "I should thank you, madam, are you leaving soon?"

Li Yu: "Well, are you guys leaving too?"

Woman: "Let's go, we need to go to Beizhou Prefecture. We should be there today."

Li Yu bowed and said, "Beizhou Prefecture is a good place. I wish you a safe journey."

*

After breakfast, Li Yu and the woman said goodbye at the door of the inn.

After getting on the car, there was a sound of horse neighing, and the car started moving. Soon, the woman's figure became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen.

Li Yu closed the window, sat in the car and closed his eyes in thought.

Suddenly, the car shook.

Li Yu quickly opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just accidentally fell into a small pit. Madam Li, don't worry." The guard's voice came from outside the car.

Li Yu nodded and bent down to pick up the fallen cloth bag.

In the cloth bag was the wooden boat given by the woman. Although the boat was rough, it was a token of the woman's love.

Afraid that it would be broken, Li Yu opened the cloth bag and took out the boat to have a look.

Apart from anything else, if the wood is processed properly before making the boat, the boat can definitely be displayed as a decoration.

After taking a look and seeing that there was no damage, Li Yu opened the cloth bag and prepared to put the boat back.

And just then, she heard other noises.
