At this moment, Liu Ziyun and the old man were completely immersed in the world of food and had no time to care about anything else.

They stopped talking and focused on the food and beer in front of them, starting a playful fight over the duck necks and duck feet snacks.

Liu Ziyun and the old man stuffed food into their mouths as if they wanted to stuff all the delicious food into their stomachs.

Ruan Mumu watched them happily as they fought over the food, occasionally sneaking out some new snacks and placing them in front of the two of them.

After the two ate and drank for a long time, the carriage began to enter Jinwan Village.

Everyone in the village knew that Xiaojun's family used to be the only ones with a horse-drawn carriage. Now, seeing three carriages entering the village, they couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Whose house is this? Why are there three carriages all of a sudden?" someone muttered.

"It seems one of the cars belongs to Xiaojun's family. I wonder if the other two came with them?" a busybody asked.

Old Mrs. Zhang was also at the village entrance at this time. When she saw the horse-drawn carriages entering the village, she watched curiously, wondering whose house these carriages were coming to.

Ever since she learned that Chen Donghua might really come after her, she dared not provoke Chen Donghua's family anymore, after all, she had always been a bully who preyed on the weak.

After the eldest son's family branched out, she had to do all the housework, whether she wanted to or not. The second daughter-in-law was always lazy, and the third daughter-in-law couldn't finish all the work either.

She suddenly regretted hitting Ruan Mumu so hard back then; otherwise, it would still be Chen Shi doing the work now!

Three carriages passed by her one after another, leaving her there eating the dust.

When the three carriages stopped in the backyard of Lianshan's new house, the busybodies couldn't help but exclaim: "As expected, rich people only associate with rich people."

Ignoring the two people, an old man and a young boy, who were lying in the carriage after eating, Ruan Mumu jumped off the carriage first.

"Miss, you mustn't jump like that again. We're young ladies, we should be more refined." Xia Xia hadn't even finished placing the stool in front of the carriage when she saw her mistress jump off and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Xia was the most lively of the four girls. Although she had only known Ruan Mumu for a short time, she knew that her mistress was a straightforward girl, and she had become a little bolder.

"Girls from farming families don't have so many rules," Ruan Mumu said with a laugh.

“Miss, your status is different now!” Xiao Qiu chimed in from the side.

"Please don't call me 'Miss' or anything like that. If you don't mind, just call me Mumu, or you can call me 'Young lady' if you prefer," Ruan Mumu suggested.

In this rural area, the term "Miss" is not commonly used.

"Yes, we understand, Miss." The servants all replied in unison upon hearing Ruan Mumu's words.

As night fell, Qiao Tinghao dragged his weary body and slowly pushed open the door to his home.

In the front hall, everyone was sitting around chatting, quietly waiting for his return.

When his figure appeared in the front hall, the little old man who had been picked up by Ruan Mumu halfway home couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He rubbed his eyes hard, afraid that he was seeing things.

"My disciple, I've been looking for you for ages!" The old man was so excited he was almost incoherent. He rushed forward, grabbed Qiao Tinghao's hand tightly, and looked at him with concern in his eyes.

He carefully looked Qiao Tinghao up and down, asking with concern, "Are you injured? Is anything bothering you? Tell your teacher quickly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"Is this your master?" they all asked, their eyes fixed on Qiao Tinghao, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Qiao Tinghao shook his head, because he didn't remember either! "You're my master?"

The old man tapped him on the head and asked in confusion, "You really don't remember your master?"

Ruan Mumu roughly understood and quickly explained to the old man, "Senior, when we found him, he was seriously injured. If I hadn't had a life-saving medicine, he would have died from his injuries long ago."

When he woke up, he didn't remember anything from before, except that his name was Qiao Tinghao. So he had nowhere to go and could only stay in our house.

Since you are his master, you must know his identity. Please tell us later. Let's eat now!

After Ruan Mumu finished speaking, everyone began to prepare dinner.

After dinner, Dr. Liu took Li Kaituo back to his own home. Remembering Dr. Liu's past identity, Ruan Mumu arranged for her servants to go with them to help with the laundry and cooking.

That very night, arrangements were made for the old man to stay in the same courtyard as Qiao Tinghao.

Ruan Mumu led Xia Xia to Qiao Tinghao's courtyard, where they saw the old man and Qiao Tinghao sitting at the stone table.

"Senior, this is chrysanthemum tea. You ate a lot of spicy food today, so drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down." Ruan Mumu asked Xia Xia to put the tray on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for everyone.

"Xia, go outside and keep watch. We have something to talk about. If anyone comes looking for us, have them wait," Ruan Mumu instructed.

"Okay, miss, I understand." Xia finished speaking and left the courtyard.

"Senior, you said I am your disciple, so could you tell me your background and what my identity is?" Qiao Tinghao suddenly became curious about the original owner's identity.

The old man began to introduce himself.

It turns out that this little old man is the old sect leader of Xuanshan Sect, Master Wuwei, and Qiao Tinghao is his last disciple.

Two years ago, after passing the sect to his eldest disciple, he began to travel around after leaving the mountain.

Some time ago, he suddenly received news that his young apprentice had gone missing, and he couldn't find any trace of her no matter what he did. Extremely anxious, he had no choice but to go to Xiyang County to search for her himself.

Today, he had just arrived in Xiyang County and happened to run into Ruan Mumu, who was eating snacks in a carriage.

The unique aroma of the food was irresistible to him, so he followed the carriage for most of the journey.

In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the food, so he boarded Ruan Mumu's carriage and they arrived at Jinwan Village together.

Unexpectedly, he found his most beloved young apprentice here.

This is really a case of searching for something unsuccessfully but finally finding it without any effort!

"Senior, since you say you are my master, then what exactly is my identity? You should know that, right?" Qiao Tinghao asked with a serious expression.

He was also hoping to find out his origins, so that he wouldn't have to remain unknown and hidden in this small mountain village like he was now. If no one came looking for him, he might never be able to leave this small mountain village.

He had heard Ruan Mumu mention that he was from the military, but he didn't know where he came from or why he had come to this small mountain village.

"As for your identity, I naturally know..." Master Wuwei stroked his beard and smiled.
