Mianmian immediately took out two pills from her sleeves and took one herself, and gave one to Qing'er. She gestured to him and said, "This can detoxify."
Qing'er took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, and the two slowly released their hands covering their noses.
The two men quickly hid on both sides of the door.
The bandits in the room heard that there was no movement inside, looked at each other, and then slowly pushed the door open.
After the group of people entered the door, they set their target on the bed, and then pounced on it together. Unexpectedly, the bed was empty.
"Second brother, there is no one here."
"There are no girls here!" ?.?????.ℂ??
The man with the eyepatch was startled. He quickly turned around and looked at the door, only to see the door being closed.
After they entered the house, Mianmian and Qing'er secretly went out, closed the door, and put a big lock on it.
"Second brother, look, the door is locked!"
When the blindfolded man heard the call, he immediately rushed to the door, kicked it hard, and found that the door was indeed locked.
Mianmian heard the movement inside and asked Qing'er, "Qing'er, what should I do with these people?"
Qing'er stretched out her hand towards her, "Do you have any powder on your body that can attract poisonous insects?"
Mianmian nodded after hearing this, "Yes."
Qing'er said: "Give it to me."
Mianmian took out the powder and handed it to Qing'er's hand.
Qing'er sprinkled the powder into the crack of the door.
Mianmian asked: "Qing'er, what are you doing?"
Qing'er said slowly: "These bandits have killed countless people here. It's time to clean up."
Mianmian listened and immediately helped him pour the powder together.
After the powder was poured out, the two of them left the place immediately.
Just as Mianmian and the others left, a group of poisonous insects slowly crawled into the house smelling the smell of medicinal powder.
The man with the eye patch kicked the door while yelling, "Wait until I catch that little lady and see how I deal with her! Hurry, break the door open for me."
A group of people rushed forward and prepared to knock down the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, a poisonous scorpion happened to fall on one of the eyes of the man with the eyepatch.
"Second brother, your eyes! Eyes!"
The man with the eyepatch took off the poisonous scorpion with his hand. When he saw what it was, he jumped up in fear and waved his hands while saying: "This! Where did this poisonous scorpion come from!"
However, before anyone could reply to his words, everyone else was covered in poisonous scorpions.
Soon there were screams in the house.
At this time, the night was getting dark, and Mianmian and the others had not yet found a new carriage.
In desperation, they had no choice but to stay at a nearby farmhouse.
After walking a mile, I found a house.
This family looked a bit like the Zhou family's old, dilapidated house. It was a mud house and covered with thick thatch. Mianmian and Qing'er had never seen that house before.
Mianmian and Qing'er knocked on the door together.
Not long after, an old man walked slowly inside.
The old man had white hair. The moment he opened the door and saw Qing'er, he suddenly called out: "Yuan'er, Juan'er! You are back!"
Mianmian said quickly: "Mommy, you have recognized the wrong person. We are traders passing by and would like to stay at your house for one night."
The old grandma came back to her senses slightly. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, and found that she had indeed recognized the wrong person.
Seeing two young people, she enthusiastically welcomed them into the house, "Quick, come in quickly. Bandits are prone to occur around here. It would be bad if they touch you."
Mianmian smiled at her and thanked: "Thank you very much, mama."
The old grandma took them into her dilapidated house with an oil lamp on.
She took two steps, hung up the oil lamp, and asked them, "Where are you two going? Why are you on the road in the middle of the night?"
"Mommy, we are not..." Mianmian was about to explain.
Qing'er took over and said: "We are going back to the capital. On the way, the horse was injured, so we have to stop here first."
When the old nanny heard that he came home like this, she assumed that they were a newlywed couple.
So of course, the only guest room in the house was given to the two of them.
And he also cooked a bowl of egg soup for them.
The old woman lives here alone, relying on an old hen and a small piece of land to survive.
The two eggs given to Mianmian were the last two in her henhouse.
Mianmian didn't know it, but after eating, he asked the old woman about her.
Only then did I realize that this grandma was a lonely old man in the village. Her family was poor. She had a son and a daughter earlier. Later, her son went to join the army, her daughter got married, and her husband died, leaving her alone.
She hadn't seen her children for more than ten years, that's why she was like this.
Mianmian felt a little guilty when she thought about eating her last two eggs. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Mommy, don't worry, maybe they will be able to come back after a while."
The old grandma was a very cheerful person. After hearing this, she laughed and said, "I hope so."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Mianmian and the others, "How many years have you been married?"
Mian Mian was speechless for a moment.
Qing'er, who had been silent all this time, said slowly: "We are childhood sweethearts. If we get married...it will be a year."
