Ma'am, is there someone out there?

Shen Qing and Lu Chen did not return to the barracks immediately.

On the map obtained from Zhao Ji, the location of the granary was marked.The granaries had been secretly built before the arrival of the Huns.The two of them looked at the map and confirmed the location of the granary.

"This place is only three or four miles away from here." Lu Chen pointed to the circled place on the map.From what he remembered, it seemed to be a small village.

Shen Qing looked at him and said, "You want to go directly tonight?"

"Resolve it early to prevent accidents, and..." Lu Chen sneezed, he was still wearing the goose yellow dress, which was not thicker than his usual clothes, "And don't you think the weather has changed?"

Shen Qing didn't care about the weather, took off his coat and put it on Lu Chen: "You put it on first."

"I don't want it." Lu Chen pushed back again, he always felt that Shen Qing's body was weaker, and he didn't need to take care of himself.

"obedient."

"No, you can wear it."

Pushing back and forth, Lu Chen's tone hardened.

"The jade pendant you gave me has clothes!" Lu Chen choked out such a sentence suddenly, Shen Qing didn't care about success, so he had to take back the clothes and put them on resentfully.

"The sky is indeed getting darker." Back to the topic, Shen Qing also felt that the temperature dropped a lot and the wind became stronger. "I don't know when the snow will fall."

The two discussed this and decided to rush to the location of the granary immediately to catch him off guard.

It was only three or four miles away, and the two walked a bit longer, and it took less than an hour.When he arrived at the village, Lu Chen felt something was wrong.This village was drawn on the boundary of the Chen Dynasty, but actually it was further north, so that it was quite far from the Chen Dynasty's military camp, but it was closer to the Xiongnu.

But what was even worse was that when he compared the direction of the circle on the map, he found that the location of the circle was exactly the station that Chen Chao had set up here.Although this place is desolate and remote, it is located on the road where the two countries meet after all, and the two countries exchanged salutes, so a post-horse station was set up.It's just that the Huns were so courageous that they directly set up the granary in this place. I don't know whether the people at the post station were bought later, or they were already Huns' people.

Lu Chen smiled and said, it really was dark under the lamp.

"Go ahead and have a look." Shen Qing said.

The two of them entered the village openly and honestly, and once they arrived in the village, they felt the desolation here.They were not in a hurry to stop at the station, but went to the only tea shop in the village.This shop is here, just to make it convenient for passers-by, to get some tea, steamed buns and biscuits.The two of them went to the tea stall, and saw that the old man and old woman who watched the stall were collecting tables and stools.

Seeing the two people coming, the old man who was about to move the stool to close the stall put down the stool and asked, "It's so late, what are you two?"

Shen Qing was greedy for Lu Chen who was dressed as a woman, and said: "I'm bothering the old man, my husband and I are on our way, and it was dark before I thought about it, my wife is also tired from walking, I want to come to you to ask for hot water."

"Oh, I need water. Yes, my old man is the owner of the tea stand, and there is water." The old man shouted angrily, "Old lady, come and bring this little lady a bowl of hot water."

"All right, all right, stop yelling." The old woman leaned out and ordered, "It's so windy outside, let the two of them in quickly."

"I'm confused, old man, come in." The old man slapped his forehead and said with a smile.

"Then thank you two old men." Shen Qing thanked and helped Lu Chen in.

Once inside, I found that the two old people were living in poverty.The walls are made of mud bricks, the tables and chairs are all the most common wood and patterns, and the cracked pottery bowls are placed on the table, and a few soft sheep bleating in the backyard can be faintly heard.

The old man heard it too, and explained with a smile: "This is the sheep raised by my old lady. It just gave birth to a baby. I'm afraid it will be cold in the weather and it is screaming in the backyard. I will move him into the house to keep warm later." .”

It was inconvenient for Lu Chen to speak, he stood next to Shen Qing, slightly covering his face.

"Where are you little couple going?"

Shen Qing replied: "We both came from the Xiongnu. Isn't there a war going on recently? It's not good for us to stay with the Xiongnu any longer, so we have to bring my wife back to Chen country."

"Ouch!" the old man said anxiously, "then you have to hurry up. There is a war going on here, so you dare to go near here, young man, you are so courageous, swords have no eyes, if you are caught Whoever gets caught can't be regarded as a spy."

"Really?" Shen Qing showed a surprised expression, "Didn't we fight when we left?"

"Speaking of which, we just pass by here, it's so dangerous, you two old people, how dare you live near here and open a tea stall, aren't you afraid of the Huns?"

"This stall has been open for many years, and we can't move it away." The old man said suddenly, "And let me tell you, our village is not afraid of the Huns."

"Really?" Shen Qing lowered his head and looked at Lu Chen.

"Yes. In our small village, there are a lot of Huns coming and going. Although they are dressed as Han people, their appearance cannot be deceived." The old man was talking when the old woman came out.

"I think your little lady is probably tired. Let's have some hot goat's milk." The old lady brought a bowl of hot goat's milk and said with a smile.

"Thank you grandma." It was inconvenient for Lu Chen to speak, so Shen Qing hurriedly did it for him, "My wife's throat is not very comfortable, so I can't speak, I'm sorry."

"Nothing, nothing." The old woman waved her hand heartily.

Only then did Lu Chen raise his head, allowing people to see his face clearly.

The old lady was startled, and said with a smile: "Young lady is so handsome, she really matches this husband."

Others didn't notice it, but Shen Qing felt Lu Chen's body stiffen. He guessed in his heart that Lu Chen's neck might be red right now.

"Grandma, my wife has a thin skin, don't shame her."

After Shen Qing finished speaking, the old lady covered her mouth and laughed cheerfully.Lu Chen's body became stiffer, and he kicked him lightly while he was not paying attention.Shen Qing was in pain, and had to chat with the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Old man, can you continue telling me what happened just now, okay?" Shen Qing tested the temperature of the goat's milk before pushing it in front of Lu Chen, and then continued chatting with the old man.

"It's not surprising that we have Huns here. Speaking of which, there are not many pure Chen Dynasty people in this village. Most of them are Huns and Chen Dynasty people who intermarry with each other. After a few generations, there is no big difference. It may be because of this reason that the Huns Never come here. We've been safe here."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "However, there were not many people in the village at first, but now that there is a war, the income of the people in the village will be reduced. Most of the people will either move to the Chen country, or simply migrate to the Huns, or simply move to the Huns. It's our old man who can't walk, so he can only sell tea."

The old woman who was listening behind me laughed, and came over with a small basket of pancakes in her hand, and knocked on the old man's head pretending to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about, old man?"

The old woman put it in the basket and greeted the two of them: "You must not have eaten. Come and have a pancake. The pancakes I made, old lady, are delicious."

"Thank you grandma." Shen Qing thought about it.After Lu Chen finished drinking the goat milk, he pushed Shen Qing's hand under the table.

Shen Qing lowered his head and took a few glances, only to see that Lu Chen stuffed the taels of silver into his hand.Shen Qing patted Lu Chen's hand, signaling to him that he understood.Shen Qing laughed in his heart, his generals have always been soft-hearted people.

Shen Qing took a bite of the pancakes made by the old lady. The pancakes were not mixed with any fillings, but they were fried crispy and crispy. He praised the old lady's craftsmanship without hesitation, and then said: "Is there a post here?"

The old man nodded: "Yes. However, we are in a remote village, the post station is also dilapidated, and the horses we raise are thin and small. Officials who pass by here generally don't dismount and rest here, and would rather drive for a while On the way, go to the next station."

"It's so shabby." Shen Qing pretended to be surprised.

"Yes." The old man replied.

"Is that so..." Shen Qing said, lowered his head to think for a while, and asked the old man, "Old man, can you let my husband and I stay here for a night, we will leave tomorrow morning."

"Stay here, stay here." The old man was so bold, he raised his head and yelled, "Old lady, tidy up a room for these two young couples..."

"What are you shouting for?" The old lady knocked him again when she came out, turned her head, and smiled at Shen Qing again, "I, I was ready just now."

"I really appreciate the kindness of the two old men!"

"No thanks, no thanks." The old lady smiled, "The sky is changing outside, why don't you let the little brother take the cute little lady to sleep on the street at night, my old lady will be the first to see it."

"The old man is kind-hearted, good people will be rewarded with good things, but you are blessed." Shen Qing said, then asked another question, "However, this is out of nowhere, two people suddenly appear to lodge, and the two old people are not defensive, if What if the two of us are bad people?"

"You can't be wrong!" the old woman smiled, "I have sharp eyes. Old woman, I have lived for decades. When I see your clear eyes, I know you are decent people. You can't be wrong."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "You are always sharp-eyed. But next time, I'd better mention it more."

After a few people talked for a while, Shen Qing helped Lu Chen to the room on the grounds that Lu Chen needed to rest.

Once in the room, Lu Chen was refreshed.He lowered his voice: "Let's go to the station quietly."

Shen Qing agreed, and said again: "You wait."

He took out a few ingots of silver from his body, put them on the bedside, and said to Lu Chen, "Send two people over tomorrow and send them to the town. Regardless of whether the war will affect them or not, if it snows heavily in a few days, the house will be destroyed." It’s all bad.”

Shen Qing noticed just now that there is not much firewood in this house, if it snows heavily, there will not even be enough charcoal for heating.

"understood."

Lu Chenluo watched Shen Qing's movements of carefully wrapping Wenyin behind Shen Qing, and thought to himself, he is such a nosy person.When you see an old man you want to help, and when you see a child who is about to be sold to a brothel, you take him back to the mansion, worrying about everything.

But... Lu Chen slightly bent the corner of his mouth.That's the kind of guy he likes.

If it wasn't because he cared about everything and saved everyone, how could he bring himself and Xiaobao home?

"Shen Qing..."

"?" Shen Qing turned around in confusion, but a cool kiss suddenly fell on his face.

"What about you?" Shen Qing touched the place where he suddenly kissed, wondering why Lu Chen suddenly...

"A kiss, don't you like it?" Lu Chen asked back.

Shen Qing smiled openly: "No, I'm happy!"

"That's too much to talk about." Lu Chen frowned, damn it, I just had a sudden impulse.He has something to kiss, hum.
