If these people knew, what would they think?
The hood covered the girl's face. The old woman beside her squinted her eyes and looked at the bustling streets of Pingyang City. The guards standing on the city walls were walking back and forth.
There are obviously people, but they are unwilling to protect their village.
"Let's go."
The old woman whispered something and left with the girl.
…
Lu Feng and the others just rested for a day in Pingyang City. After replenishing what was needed, they were about to continue on their way.
The sky was dark, with swarms of dark clouds carrying a cold wind, which made people want to put on more layers of clothes.
Regardless of others, Xu Zhe wore two extra clothes.
"Sir, I'm afraid it will rain heavily today."
An Erdao riding a horse.
They had just come out not long ago, and there was no way they could turn back at this time.
Lu Feng felt cold in the carriage.
"Is there no place to take shelter in front of you?"
This area is not remote, so there should be people living here.
The rain wouldn't fall all at once, and if they walked faster they might be able to get somewhere.
"Yes, there is, but it is a village and there is no inn."
"Just bring some money with you."
Lu Feng closed the curtain.
There will never be anyone who has trouble with money.
makes sense.
As the carriage moved forward, the flat land gradually disappeared and was replaced by hills and trees.
This place belongs to the mountainous forest area, but they are taking the official road, and generally no wild animals will come through.
A drop of rain fell on the back of Xu Zhe's hand. He looked up and saw that it was raining.
"How long until we get there?"
"Just walk through this path."
Hearing what he said, Xu Zhe looked forward.
In the haze of mist and rain, houses of various sizes did appear, but most of them seemed to be made of mud and looked very simple.
Only the house at the front looks better.
An San looked at the path below. It should be possible for people to go out. Why is the village still so dilapidated?
There is smoke rising between the houses, indicating that there are people living here.
The carriage stopped not far from the village. A child at the door looked at them curiously. Xu Zhe was about to step forward to speak when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Are you sent by the government?"
It was a trembling old man, without a cane in his hand, looking at them with a little hope in his eyes.
Xu Zhe was startled and shook his head subconsciously.
"We were passing by here and just wanted to wait for the rain to stop."
He saw that the light in the old man's eyes suddenly went out.
"That you……"
"Just wait until the rain stops, then come with me."
Before the old man finished speaking, a clear female voice came over.
The voice sounded familiar. Lu Feng stepped out of the carriage and saw that it was the girl he had seen in the woods before.
The other party also looked at him.
"What a coincidence, brother."
younger brother?
Xu Zhe looked between Lu Feng and the girl, then scratched his head.
When did the young Marquis know this person?
"It seems we are very destined, so I won't take your money."
After she finished speaking, she looked at An San.
"My little girl is the daughter of the village chief, Yao Zhi."
The other party had said so, so they had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey. After all, the rain started to fall harder and harder.
The rain made a hole in the ground, and other villagers also went back when they saw this.
Following the girl into the house, Lu Feng and others saw an old woman warming herself by the fire.
The fire had just started to start. When Xu Zhe saw it, he stepped forward and took the firewood from her hand.
"That's not how you started the fire. It won't burn much. Let me help you."
This was basically what Xu Zhe had done at the Martial Arts Academy before, and Xu Zhe couldn't be too comfortable with it.
Lu Feng felt a little embarrassed when he met the girl's teasing eyes.
An old lady who looks like she has lived for sixty or seventy years, how do you teach a young boy how to make a fire?
"Nice young man."
The old lady, who was indeed an old lady, stepped aside and let Xu Zhe play her role.
Then she looked at Lu Feng.
"You can leave as soon as the rain stops. If you don't leave, something may happen."
It's a kind reminder.
This house is worthy of being the village chief's house. The front is big enough to accommodate a few of them, and the area blocked by the earthen wall is where the old lady and Yao Zhi sleep.
It was raining outside, so Lu Feng took out the roast chicken he had in his pocket, heated it up, and shared it with others.
Yao Zhi got a chicken drumstick in her hand, but she didn't eat it and handed it to the old woman next to her.
No one spoke except for the sound of rain.
Time leisurely arrived at noon, and the rain still did not stop. The expressions of the old woman and Yao Zhi in the house gradually began to change.
Near noon, Yao Zhi spoke first.
"We can't keep you any longer, you can go on your own."
Lu Feng tilted his ears slightly, and a few unnoticeable sobs came into his ears, followed by the sound of doors and windows being closed.
The people present had good ears and knew what might have happened.
"I was wondering before. The trail didn't seem to be used for villagers to go out. What was it for?"
An San looked at the old woman.
"As the village chief, you should know."
"Someone asked you if you are from the government. If you are not, then don't meddle in other people's business."
The old woman didn't even raise her eyelids and said calmly.
"What if we are?"
The set continues.
The room turned from quiet to some kind of silence, and then the old woman finally looked at An San.
"If it is, none of you can get out."
It contains thick murderous intent.
It is the terrifying venomous snake that spits out serpentine to warn people.
"Okay, don't scare them anymore."
Yao Zhi said and looked at Lu Feng.
"Except for this girl, none of your men can solve the next trouble for us. You will die here with us."
"Listen to my sister and leave in the carriage."
She smiled.
This was said to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked at Si Yu and found that she had no reaction, so he had to stand up.
"Okay, let's go first."
It's a bit too unsightly to stay here even though people are chasing guests.
An San and others also put on their raincoats. They only had two oil-paper umbrellas. One was held by Xu Zhe to protect Lu Feng from the rain, and the other one was in Si Yu's hand.
Xu Zhe glanced back and found that the two people in the room seemed a little quieter than when they were there.
"What are you looking at? Just get in the car."
Lu Feng was angry.
Why did you fall in love with this person?
Xu Zhe chuckled and got into the carriage.
When the carriage took us back, it was raining really hard, and the raincoat got wet not long after we put it on.
I didn't notice it when I came here, but there seemed to be other places to hide from the rain in the woods.
That simple-looking tent seems to be able to shelter from the rain.
After Lu Feng left, Yao Zhi picked up an oil-paper umbrella with a dagger on his waist.
"let's go."
Some things are their own and cannot be interfered with by outsiders.
The child saw two figures disappearing into the rain from the crack in the door, and timidly asked his mother.
"Will Sister Yao come back?"
The woman hugged him tightly and whispered as if she was talking to her child or to herself:
"Yes, yes, I will come back as before."
