In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

When this man first came over, Lu Yan was very alert at first, but when he saw his pace, voice, demeanor, and every move he made, which did not seem like he had any martial arts skills, he felt relieved.

"To be honest, we fell from this valley. You said people often come here. Could there be others?"

Hearing Lu Yan say this, Xu Qingyin immediately understood what he meant.

If there were other people coming, they were most likely the killers sent by Lu Zhou and Lu Wei, who chased them all the way to the bottom of the valley and were really lingering around.

"There weren't any other people, but a while ago there was a little girl who was whimpering. She also said she fell from the valley and was a royal relative. Alas, she just looked like a fool."

Xu Qingyin was shocked. If someone said that he was a royal relative, then this person was most likely the missing girl.

But it seems that even though they both fell from the mountain, they were not killed because there was a river below to catch them.

If she really fell from this mountain and was not killed, it should be easy to find the villagers nearby.

So Xu Qingyin quickly asked:

"Why do you say that? Is the dress she's wearing also gorgeous?"

"Yes, the clothes she was wearing were indeed a style we had never seen in this valley. However, her clothes seemed to be torn and her body was bruised and swollen. If it weren't for Aunt Sun here taking her in, she would have frozen to death in this valley."

He was being tactful, because clothes that fell from the mountain would likely be torn, but the woman's clothes looked like they had been torn from the very beginning, and the bruises on her body didn't look like ordinary fall marks, but more like...

Being humiliated.

But he was just a strong man in the village after all, and he had not seen the actual situation. It would be bad to insult the girl's innocence behind her back, so he had to be vague here.

While Xu Qingyin was asking questions, Lu Yan repeatedly observed the man in front of him. He didn't look too strange, so he felt relieved and nodded to Xi Qingshui.

After reading it and getting Lu Yan's approval, Xu Qingyin asked:

"Excuse me, do you have any extra guest rooms here? Could you please let us stay for one night? I can give you some money."

Thinking of this, Xu Qingyin remembered that there was indeed money in her space, so she didn't even need to promise to give it to her after she got ashore, she could give it to her now.

So he quietly rummaged through his sleeve where she couldn't see and took out a silver dollar.

When he handed the silver ingot to the villager in front of him, the villager just laughed:

"This money looks like a lot, but we don't often go ashore on weekdays. We produce and sell our own products in the valley. However, this thing is precious. You don't have to give it to me. I will take you in.

"That girl has been staying with us for more than ten days, and Aunt Sun hasn't taken a penny from her."

If what they said was true, the person in front of them was really kind-hearted. What's more, he was able to produce and sell his own products in the mountains. What he wore was indeed coarse linen. In the border area of ​​Yunjing's capital, even the poor and beggars would not wear such clothes, because they would pick up clothes that ordinary people didn't want to wear.

It looks like they really did it themselves. If that's the case, then they look like a unique paradise.

"If you really want to come with us and don't mind that our place isn't as prosperous as yours, then please come with me. I have another room at home. Even if there isn't one, we can still make room for you by sleeping on the floor. It's not a big deal."

The people and scenes here made Xu Qingyin think of the article she often recited when she was a child. It was very similar to the description in "Peach Blossom Spring".

As soon as I arrived, I heard the man in front of me calling his wife inside the house:

"Jie Xing, look who I brought here?"

The woman in the house didn't even come out, but she heard the sound of washing vegetables:

"I don't even need to think about it. These must be people picked up from the bottom of the valley. Otherwise, who else would come here besides them?"

Unexpectedly, his wife guessed it right away, and the man was happy:

"Your guess is spot on, but it's also really strange. I never thought people would keep falling from the valley at this hour. But the two people who came this time are wearing luxurious clothes. They really don't look like ordinary people. Take a look."

When she finished saying this, the woman in the room had finished washing the dishes. She came out and saw that the clothes Xu Qingyin and Lu Yan were wearing were indeed unusual.

However, these were ancient costumes that Xu Qingyin had temporarily made in modern times because she was going out. In fact, they were not as good as those worn by royal relatives, so she just made do with them. However, compared with what the people in the valley wore, they were already good enough.

"Hey, where did such a handsome couple come from here?"

Xu Qingyin panicked and wanted to explain, but then she realized that if she explained all this, there would be no way for the two of them to explain each other's identities. Was she supposed to say that they didn't know each other? That would be too ambiguous.

But when she saw Lu Yan beside her didn't explain, her face suddenly turned red.

"Come and wash your hands. Let's have a meal together. But don't be disgusted by the fact that there's nothing here at the bottom of the valley. These are the chickens I raised at home. There's meat and vegetables."

After saying that, she enthusiastically pulled them both to the dining table. In fact, when Lu Yan looked around at the small village that had suddenly become bright, he was also very surprised.

Even in the outskirts of Yunjin Capital, ordinary families would not have such beautiful houses, not to mention having chickens and ducks at home and their own fields.

He couldn't help but sigh, as he never expected that the villagers who left the royal family would have better clothes to wear, better food to eat, and better houses to build than when they lived under the emperor's feet.

Xu Qingyin always remembered the main purpose of their coming to this place:

"I wonder if you've ever seen a girl in here who's about my age or a little younger?"

Hearing Xu Qingyin's question, Jia Xing in front of him replied:

"Yes, she is staying at Aunt Sun's house now. If you want to see her, let's go after we finish this meal."

At the moment, the woman didn’t think so much, but when going out, Xu Qingyin was still very cautious.

She watched the woman in front of her taste all the dishes before she started to move.
