At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Jiang Zao greeted her very enthusiastically and was almost holding his sister-in-law's hand and waving it up and down.

Que Yunsheng walked over slowly and looked at the person in front of him inconspicuously.

What he was wearing was extremely tattered, even uglier than what the other two were wearing.

He was wearing only a pair of straw sandals, and what was exposed was a pair of socks that looked to be made of very good material.

Why can I wear such good quality socks while wearing straw sandals?

Looking up, her clothes were patched up and her hair was a little messy, but overall it was combed and even oiled.

But the person in front of me probably doesn't know how to wipe it off, so there is a particularly obvious lump on the top of his head, and the fragrance is the strongest there.

The whole person doesn't look that thin.

The clothes in the basin even included silk robes.

The man reached out and rummaged through the clothes, flipping several pieces of good quality clothes underneath, revealing the patched clothes.

She gathered the hair around her ears and said, "This, this is Wuming Village."

It seemed that she seldom interacted with outsiders. She curled up and looked even more timid.

The edge of the basin turned white as I pinched it with my fingers.

Jiang Zao's eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, do you know how far it is from here to Ning County?"

"I don't know." She lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen.

"Can I stay at your house for the night?" Jiang Zao thought about it and prepared to go to the village to inquire for information.

The man looked up in panic, glanced at Jiang Zao and the other man, and waved his head around their faces, "Yes."

"Yunsheng, hurry up, this sister-in-law said she can let us stay overnight. Today we can finally live in the house." Jiang Zao was very excited.

He turned to look at Que Yunsheng, "Hurry up, why don't you leave?"

Que Yunsheng pursed his lips and slowly followed.

Along the way, Jiang Zao chattered non-stop.

My sister-in-law occasionally gives some response.

But this also made Jiang Zao extremely excited, because finally someone responded to her.

God knows, she's going crazy.

After walking along a long ridge, we saw a few scattered houses.

There are also a few people in the village.

All of them were women about the same age as my sister-in-law, with no elderly people or children.

Peek through a door or behind a fence.

Jiang Zao didn't find it strange anymore, he probably was hiding in the house.

But while observing these people, Que Yunsheng silently took note of the route and the surrounding environment.

"Where are the men in this village?" Jiang Zao asked curiously.

"Everyone... went up the mountain to work." The sister-in-law quickened her pace and finally reached a dilapidated yard at the back.

"Are there no children too?" Jiang Zao became even more curious.

Did all the children go to help?

"Ah, I, I don't know." The sister-in-law lowered her head and walked faster.

There were some dog barking sounds, but no dogs were seen.

The fence is made of bamboo, and there is no one to feed the chickens and ducks.

But there was not even a child in the yard.

She pushed open the gate and put the basin on the ground.

Invite two people into the house.

"come in."

Jiang Zao looked at the clean yard, and the feeling that he had thought he would step into a pile of chicken shit disappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Que Yunsheng looked at the pile of firewood in the corner, and it seemed that there was a piece of sleeve of clothes underneath.

He has a good eye and can tell that it is made of good material, and it should be the same set as the one worn by his sister-in-law.

"Drink some water."

The sister-in-law forced a smile that she thought was kind and brought two cups of tea.

I couldn't taste the ginger anymore, it just felt a bit astringent.

Que Yunsheng didn't drink, but just shook his head.

My sister-in-law rubbed her hands, and surprisingly, they were not rough at all.

It looks more tender and smooth than the ginger one.

"Then, I'll heat up some food for you."

After a while, she brought out a table of food and invited the two people to the main room.

Jiang Zao was so hungry that he was drooling.

He pulled Que Yunsheng's clothes and walked over.

Que Yunsheng stepped into the house and saw a muddy ground.

He pulled Jiang Zao's clothes, signaling her not to eat.

But Jiang didn't understand and pushed him to sit down. "Eat first. You're hungry too, aren't you? Although we don't have money, we can work for our sister-in-law to make up for it."

Jiang had thought of it well, and on the way here she had clearly stated that the two brothers had no money.

I can only help with work to pay for the accommodation expenses.

The sister-in-law readily agreed.

Eat ginger early.

They are all home-cooked dishes, without any meat or fish.

They look like simple farmers.

Jiang Zao didn't know what Que Yunsheng was struggling with.

Do you think it’s dirty?

But when we were at the bottom of the cliff, in the cave, or on the grass, I didn't see Que Yunsheng being so particular.

My sister-in-law also picked up the bowl and took a few bites.

Jiang Zao was even more relieved. The owner had already eaten it, so what was there for her to be afraid of?

Eat first and then talk.

After dinner, the sister-in-law went to pack up and told them to rest at home while she went to find the head of the family. It seemed that everything was normal.

It was afternoon time.

Jiang Zao took off the leaves from around his waist and placed them on the ground.

"Finally I don't have to sleep on leaves." Her leaves have served as her bed these days.

Now that he could lie on the bed, Jiang Zao cried out in comfort.

Even the wooden bed made her feel warm.

Que Yunsheng remained silent.

Jiang Zao burst into laughter, "Aren't you tired? Sit down and take a rest."

Que Yunsheng shook his head.

"It's okay. Look, this family is so poor, how could there be any problem? Besides, the owner has left and left us here alone. What are you worried about?"

Que Yunsheng walked out of the door.

Jiang Zao had no choice but to follow.

It is obvious that their host has not imposed any restrictions on them and they can go out as they please. What is there to worry about?

The one who should be worried is the owner of this house. Their origins are unknown, so how can he let them stay in his house?

It can be seen that this family is really poor, so poor that they are not afraid of being robbed.

Que Yunsheng walked to the pile of firewood, picked it up and saw only the charred corners of the clothes.

he mused.

I walked to the place where I had placed the basin before, but there was no basin there.

Empty.

The more Que Yunsheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. From time to time, he saw figures walking outside the fence.

Jiang Zao greeted them warmly.

The sisters-in-law seemed to be very shy and just nodded.

Something is wrong. Everything is wrong.

Que Yunsheng pulled Jiang Zao into the house with a gloomy face.

Close the door.

I reached out and dipped my hand in water and wrote three words on the table with a missing leg: "Danger"

Jiang Zao didn't understand, "How could it be? Everything is normal. There is no knockout drug in the water, and even though the food is simple, there is no drug in it."

Otherwise, how could the two of them stand here and talk peacefully?

【走】Que Yunsheng wrote this word.

His eyes were solemn.

Although still confused.

But Jiang had already seen the urgency in Que Yunsheng's writing and the nervousness in holding his hand.

Her heart started pounding.

She is not from this era, and all her knowledge is from her previous life.

So since she didn't know much about this place, she should trust Que Yunsheng, with whom she had been spending a few days and had gained trust, rather than her sister-in-law whom she had just met.

"Okay, let's go."
