Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

The man in the corner was wrapped up tightly, but clearly not because he was cold.

Because if a person is truly cold, they will instinctively move closer to a fire. But that man seemed to be only trying to avoid the crowd.

Lian Rongrong's intuition told her that this man was definitely not an ordinary villager.

Despite his simple clothes and huddled up with his hands and feet tucked in, he didn't look down on anyone at all.

Some people, no matter how hard they try to appear ordinary, will still inadvertently reveal the nobility ingrained in their bones.

And the man in the corner is that kind of person.

Perhaps sensing Lian Rongrong's gaze, the man suddenly raised his head and looked in their direction.

When their eyes met, Lian Rongrong instinctively looked away.

Those were wolf-like eyes, their brown pupils seemingly radiating endless danger. Even Lian Rongrong felt a pang of regret for her earlier probing of the man.

But many things are preordained, just like she was reborn in the Great Sheng Kingdom, just like she could hear Fu Bao's inner thoughts.

"Little sister, what's wrong?" Lin Chuyue noticed Lian Rongrong's unusual behavior and asked.

But Lian Rongrong simply shook her head and replied, "It's nothing."

In fact, Lian Rongrong didn't see the man's face clearly at all; it was just that his brown eyes made her heart tremble.

For the rest of the time, Lian Rongrong deliberately avoided looking at the corner.

It wasn't until evening, when the village chief called everyone to eat, that Lian Rongrong inadvertently glanced at the corner.

But the man had left at some point.

Even after looking around the temple and not finding the mysterious man, Rongrong mustered her courage and asked the village head:

"There was a man in the corner just now, why didn't he come and eat something?"

Muramasa turned his head to look at the corner, and then realized who Lian Rongrong was asking about.

"You mean Qi Yuan, right? That young man has a rather strange temper, and he doesn't talk to us much."

“I think our village isn’t very big, and everyone knows each other quite well.”

"Qi Yuan is not from our village. He is Zhou Da Niang's distant nephew. However, when this child went to live with Zhou Da Niang, she had already passed away."

Aunt Zhou is a kind and compassionate person, and we couldn't very well drive her nephew out of the village, so we let Qi Yuan stay.

This young man is good in every way; he's honest and has good strength, but he's a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to talk much.

Muramasa's words confirmed Lian Rongrong's guess; the guy in the corner was indeed not a villager.

It's likely that he wasn't Zhou Da Niang's nephew; he was just a villager who was easily fooled, so he used the name of the deceased Zhou Da Niang to hide here.

But as for why that guy was hiding in this remote village, even Rongrong had no idea.

However, even Rongrong didn't want to know at all; it was best to stay as far away from such a dangerous person as possible.

Just as Lian Rongrong was thinking this, the man whom Muramasa called Qi Yuan suddenly appeared outside the temple gate.

"Qi Yuan, what is this..." Muramasa bowed slightly, looking at the "firewood" in Qi Yuan's arms.

The wood was clearly cut from the furniture in Aunt Zhou's house; the table legs and wooden chairs still showed their original appearance.

"We don't know how long this snow will last, and the firewood we have now is simply not enough."

Qi Yuan spoke concisely and to the point, without uttering a single wasted word. His voice was deep, the kind that gave people a sense of peace.

Yet his features were so sharp that no one dared to disrespect him.

However, Lian Rongrong couldn't suppress her curiosity and secretly peeked at this mysterious man from behind Lian Jinghuai.

It must be said that Qi Yuan is really good-looking; he is tall and has well-defined features.

His brows exuded a heroic air. His eyes, as bright as stars, concealed wisdom and majesty.

He had a high, straight nose and well-defined lips. His sexy Adam's apple bobbed just in time as Lian Rongrong looked in that direction.

His healthy bronze skin and strong, powerful muscles seemed to testify to his extraordinary nature.

Upon seeing Qi Yuan clearly, Lian Rongrong couldn't help but think to herself: This guy is really handsome. If he were in modern times, he could easily debut as a celebrity.

Just as Lian Rongrong was lost in thought, Muramasa beckoned Qi Yuan over.

Although Qi Yuan appears aloof, he has great respect for Muramasa.

Qi Yuan walked up to the village chief, took the steamed bun that the village chief handed him, and ate it without any hesitation.

After finishing the steamed bun, Qi Yuan suddenly turned to Lian Rongrong and asked, "Have you seen enough?"

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Lian Rongrong realized that her gaze had never left him.

Lian Rongrong coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. It was true that she was attracted to good looks, but the reason she kept looking at Qi Yuan was not just because of his outstanding appearance.

Even more importantly, Lian Rongrong felt that this person's profile looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Lian Rongrong gave an embarrassed smile, but her cheeks turned red at a visible speed.

"Lian Rongrong, Lian Rongrong, how long has it been since you've seen a man? How shameful!"

Lian Rongrong was secretly annoyed. But this scene was witnessed by Fu Bao, who had just woken up.

[What's wrong, Mom? Why is your face so red?]

"No," Lian Rongrong was about to answer Fu Bao when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Her use of the word "no" once again caught Qi Yuan's attention.

"Nothing? Didn't you see me just now, young lady?" A hint of disdain flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

Just as Lian Rongrong was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, she suddenly heard Fu Bao's voice.

Who is this guy? He looks so familiar.

Lian Rongrong was taken aback, then looked at Fu Bao, and asked Fu Bao with a thought: Have you seen it before?

[I can't remember! But he's quite handsome. If Mother likes him, he could reluctantly be Fu Bao's father.]

Upon hearing this, Lian Rongrong nearly choked on her own saliva.

Seeing Lian Rongrong coughing violently, Qi Yuan moved away in disgust.

"My little ancestor, you really never hold back your words!"

Lian Rongrong vigorously rubbed Fu Bao's cheek as punishment for him randomly asking for his father's attention.

After an awkward moment, Lian Rongrong's attention finally returned to everyone.

"It's getting late, everyone should find a place to rest. We should take turns watching the fire."

The village chief gave instructions to everyone, and then the strong young men in the village spontaneously arranged their time.

Of course, Qi Yuan was included as well.

The Lian family, having received help from the village head in such dire straits, naturally wanted to do what they could.

Lian Yijun, Lian Yicheng, and the Lian family's guards also joined the night watch team.

As for the women, they would huddle together in small groups for warmth.

Lian Rongrong took Fu Bao and Lin Chuyue took Ru'er. The four of them huddled together. Although it wasn't very warm, it was enough to keep the children from getting cold.

Fu Bao and Ru Er were just children, and soon the two little ones fell into a deep sleep.

"Sister-in-law, we need to find a way to get some of the things out of here."

While gently patting Fu Bao, Lian Rongrong looked at the amber ring and whispered to Lin Chuyue.
