"Father and Mother! There are two people outside!"

The childish voice of a child came into the inner room, and a young woman's voice sounded.

"Isn't that your Grandpa Wei?"

"No, they are two I haven't seen before."

The two innocent children were not wary of the two strangers, but the adults in the house became worried when they heard that they were strangers, and came out without even putting down the kitchen knives in their hands.

Seeing the two handsome young men at the door, she knew at a glance that they were either rich or noble, and the wariness on her face became more obvious.

The man in sackcloth who had been chopping wood behind the house arrived late. Seeing the two people at the door, he immediately asked sharply, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The two children seemed to be frightened. They hid behind the woman and tugged at her clothes, but they couldn't help their curiosity and would occasionally stick out half of their faces to take a peek.

"We were sent by the Lin family to collect medicinal herbs. We were originally going to another village, but it got dark so quickly that we took the wrong road and ended up here."

The couple looked at each other. They had heard of the Lin family. It was said that they were a rare breed among the rich.

The man looked them both up and down, and only after seeing that they had no weapons did he slowly let down his guard.

"What medicinal herbs do you want to collect?"

"Poria cocos and Astragalus."

This was not something Lian Wu made up. He had seen these two medicinal herbs in the forest on the way here, and he had indeed seen that the quantity of these two medicinal herbs was relatively small when he was in the pharmacy before.

Mixing truth and falsehood together makes it easier for people to believe.

The woman's eyes lit up and she pulled the man aside to discuss in a low voice.

"It's time for the child to get some new clothes. Aren't there a lot of medicinal herbs in the village? Should we ask them to collect them?"

The man turned his head and glanced at them. "I heard that the Lin family has an adopted son. I think this is him. There are so many medicinal herbs in the village that are useless if they are stored. It would be better to sell them."

The two men were attracted by the medicinal herbs and seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their initial entry.

"How much are you planning to charge?"

The man's attitude became more positive, and the woman took the two children into the house.

"Of course, the more the better. Don't worry about the price. The Lin family is not a black-hearted dealer. These medicines will eventually be sold to the people."

Lian Wu wanted to stay in this village by collecting medicine, and then ask about Bai Yan in a roundabout way.

"There are quite a few in the village, but we need to discuss before deciding whether to sell them to you."

It seems that the man has a relatively high status in the village. He dares to speak out the situation in the village so directly and is not afraid that they will burn, kill and loot.

"Of course we need to discuss it, but it's getting late. Is there any place in the village where we can stay temporarily?"

The man looked hesitant. Allowing a person from another village, especially a wealthy one, to live in the village was not something he could decide alone, and he didn't dare to hide him in his home.

"Wait a minute, I'll go discuss this with the village chief. Only after he agrees can I let you stay in the village."

"Ok."

Shortly after the man left, the two children quietly stuck their heads out and peeked at them through the door frame, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Mother, their clothes are beautiful!"

The child's voice was crisp and clear, and he didn't know how to lower his voice, so the words came clearly into their ears.

When the woman heard this, she was shocked and quickly put down the food in her hand and took the two children away.
