Although the Gu family was surprised that someone gave Gu Yubai and the other two swords and martial arts skills, they did not suspect anything.

He just thought that the three of them really had extraordinary talents and caught the nobleman's eye, so he wanted to help them so that they could defend their country in the future.

The main point is that one person dares to speak and a group of people dare to believe!

Gu Yubai and the other two had always been accused of not doing their jobs properly, but now that they were praised so highly by an honorable person, they felt a little flattered, and each of them felt that they were truly geniuses in martial arts!

They practiced their skills very hard, and from time to time they would show the results of their hard work to the Gu family, so that everyone could see how talented they were!

The Gu family also knew these three idiots. They had been scolded a lot in the past, but now that they found that they had their own strengths, they couldn't wait to show off their strengths and were very cooperative in praising the three of them without hesitation!

The consequence was that the three of them practiced more vigorously. People who practiced martial arts eat a lot, and the three brothers practiced every day as if they were injected with chicken blood. The food that could have lasted for another half a month was eaten up in less than 5 days!

The three brothers Gu Yingxue and Gu Yubai were a little embarrassed. It was not because they ate a lot, but they were really hungry!

Yang looked at her blushing sister-in-law and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Yingxue, don't be embarrassed, you just ate a little too much. Being able to eat is a blessing!"

Gu Yingxue: ...

Why don’t you mention your second brother, third brother and younger brother!

Seeing Gu Yingxue looking at her with resentment, Yang felt that she had said something wrong. She touched her nose and tried to make amends:

"Of course, your second brother, third brother and youngest brother are more blessed!"

Gu Yingxue: ...

It’s better not to say anything!

"Oh my, we've been walking for several days, and today we finally arrived at the county town. Dad said we can go buy some food today. I'm going to talk to mom about what to buy. You guys get busy! You guys get busy!"

Seeing Gu Yingxue looking at her with resentment, Yang felt that she seemed to have said something wrong again. She slapped her mouth with her hand and quickly walked away while holding Gu Yiyao.

Ever since Gu Yubai and Gu Yingxue started practicing martial arts, Gu Yichen has been very curious about what his second uncle and mother are doing, and doesn't want to leave their side for a moment.

So, now it is basically Gu Yubai and Gu Yingxue who take turns holding him.

While holding his nephew, Gu Yubai demonstrated the key points of the martial arts he had comprehended, and from time to time he would hold Gu Yichen and jump up and do a few side kicks to the right.

Gu Yichen was so amused that he couldn't stop laughing. He kicked his legs hard and danced with joy.

Gu Xiucai saw that his family had been walking for more than a month and it was really hard for them to sleep in the open air all the way. Today they finally came across a town, so they decided to go into the city, stay in an inn, wash up and rest, and then continue on their journey.

Judging from the current itinerary, it will probably take a few more months before I can return to my hometown. I should take a rest when I get to a place where I can rest, otherwise I will be too tired.

When travelers on the road learned that it cost 10 copper coins to go into the city, they all decided to send only one person from each family into the city to buy food, so as to save some copper coins to buy food.

"This family is really strange. They actually moved to the city. If they are so rich, why do they leave their hometown to make a living like us?"

Seeing that everyone in the Gu family had paid copper coins to enter the city, a thin-faced middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes muttered to the people around him.

After all, it is hard to leave one's hometown. No one would be willing to leave unless they could no longer survive in their hometown.

"How would we know? But the girl in his family is so pretty! If there weren't so many men in his family, I would have wanted to snatch her away to be my wife. I wouldn't mind even if she was second-hand!"

The other man was also looking in the direction the Gu family left, staring at Gu Yingxue's back with greedy eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really going to the toilet with a lantern - looking for death! Did you see the swords in the hands of the three men in that family? Such a thick tree was cut in one snap. Do you think that if you dare to rob people, you will be chopped into several pieces by that family?"

The thin-faced man listened to his companion's answer and looked at him with disdain.

"I was just talking, I didn't say I was going to really rob you!"

.......

Yang held Gu Yiyao in her arms and looked at the lively scene in the county town with excitement. She had gone into the town once with Gu Yulang in the year of her marriage, and now everything she saw seemed new to her!

Passersby in the city looked at the ragged group of people with some concern, but they were not very surprised. The current year is bad and many people have fled from famine, but it is rare to see a whole family like them coming to the city to buy groceries.

That's why they attracted the sidelong glances of passers-by in the county town, and the street vendors looked at them without any enthusiasm in hawking their wares, because the people fleeing famine would not buy anything except the coarse grains that they could use to stave off hunger.

Gu Yiyao rolled her big eyes and looked in fascination. She was used to seeing zombies and mutated plants, but she had never seen such a realistic ancient street!

Some were carrying loads on their shoulders and hurrying on their way, some were delivering goods in horse-drawn carriages. In the teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, and butcher shops, some were riding in sedan chairs, some were riding horses, and some were pushing wheelbarrows. The crowds of people were bustling, and it seemed that they were not greatly affected by the famine.

However, there are only a few signs of famine now. Her grandfather was very foresighted. No wonder he was able to protect all the members of the Gu family during the famine years until now.

There were countless people who starved to death during the famine years in ancient times!

"Let's find an inn to settle down first, get some sleep, and then go shopping tomorrow."

Mr. Gu Xiucai noticed the passers-by staring at them. After living in the open air for such a long time, they really looked like beggars, so it would be better for them to pack up.

Gu Xiucai chose an inn that didn't look very luxurious and asked Gu Yubai to ask how much it cost per night. After getting his father's instructions, Gu Yubai took Gu Yu'an into the inn.

"Waiter, how much is it per night here?"

The waiter who was caught by Gu Yubai rolled his eyes, pulled off the strap on his shoulder, shook it at Gu Yubai, and shouted angrily:

"Go! Go! Go! Where did you come from, beggar! This is also the place where you can come! Hurry up and leave, or I will call for help!"

"You are such a short-sighted person, I will skin you alive for your disrespect!"

The innkeeper didn't take Gu Yubai and the other man seriously at first. When he heard Gu Yubai's question, he just looked up at him out of habit and then lowered his head to fiddle with his abacus.

The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus twice and suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Yubai and Gu Yu'an. No, to be exact, he looked at the swords in their hands. His face turned pale and he walked over quickly.

He kicked the waiter with such force that the waiter staggered and sat on the ground, looking at the shopkeeper in disbelief.

I am his nephew, and he actually kicked me!

"My dear, it is a blessing for our inn that you have come to our humble place. The price for the No. 1 room in our inn is three taels of silver per night."

Gu Yubai remembered that his father said that he could just live in the cheapest one, so he said:

"We'll just stay in the cheapest one."

"Then...then...that's 50 wen per night."

After hearing what Gu Yubai said, the shopkeeper looked at the sword in his hand, swallowed, and quickly replied.

"Okay, then two rooms. Here's 100 wen."
