No longer looking at his grinning face, Zong Jiyuan urged the horses and slowly continued to move forward, expressing his concerns without reservation.

After Wang Yu heard this, he probably agreed with her opinion, so he also became serious and said,

"Well, we really have to be careful."

As the two men spoke, they simply got off their horses and led their horses into the village.

Looking at the scattered dozen or so households from a distance, Wang Yu suddenly felt a little funny, glanced at Zong Jiyuan, and said,

"Are you sure you really want to eat this dinner at one of these homes?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with that? ”

Zong Jiyuan looked at him in confusion and asked rhetorically.

Wang Yu sighed and said,

"I'm nothing, it's just that your sect eldest young master, can you really eat the food of these poor people? Don't say I didn't warn you, there's certainly nothing to eat in this little village. ”

"If that's the case, I'm not worried,"

Zong Jiyuan said unhurriedly,

"If they are all very poor, it means that no one makes eyeliner for the thieves in the Dongshangou."

"Then why ......"

As soon as he asked, Wang Yu figured out by himself that if he was doing eyeliner, he would definitely get benefits, and naturally he would not be so poor as the villagers in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing,

"Yes, then, shouldn't we go to the poorest of them and ask for a bite to eat?"

"Where is there the poorest,"

Zong Jiyuan chuckled and said,

"Take a good look, isn't every one of these families almost the same, let's find the easiest village to get in and out, in case something really happens, it's convenient to escape from here."

"Okay, listen to you."

Wang Yu nodded, and the two of them walked towards a fenced courtyard that was far away from the other courtyards and more remote.

Just a few dozen paces away from the courtyard, the door of the adobe house was pushed open, and out of it came a young man, carrying a barrel in his hand, straight out of the courtyard, and walked in the direction of the two of them.

What can I do about this? I was going to go to that house, but now the owner of the place is coming to meet me, and what if I say hello? Let's just say that when I think of sitting in your house, I don't know each other, how can I start talking about it; If you just ask him for directions, then whose house will you go to to eat? You can't wait at someone's gate after asking for directions, because that's suspicious no matter how you look at it.

At this moment's hesitation, the young man had already walked over, probably sensing the strange gaze of the two men in front of him, and when he approached, he glanced at them both in astonishment, and then passed by and walked in the direction behind them.

Seeing that Wang Yu didn't speak, Zong Jiyuan said in his heart, whether he can do it or not, he inquired about the Tao first, and then turned around and prepared to stop the young man.

Who knows, just turned around, but saw that the young man who had walked more than ten steps away actually stopped, as if thinking about something, stopped, suddenly turned his head, walked back a few steps, and got closer to the two of them, before asking,

"Excuse me, are you from Liaodong County?"

"Huh?"

Zong Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the young man seriously, feeling that it seemed to be familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he had to ask with some doubts,

"Oh yes, may I ask this brother ...... you"

"Are you surnamed Zong?"

After listening to her answer, the young man stepped forward again and asked.

Now Zong Jiyuan was really even more stunned, she didn't expect that in this small village, someone would recognize her, and she couldn't help but be surprised and didn't know what to do.

"I am, but ......"

"And the one over there is Fourth Brother Wang, right?"

The young man looked a little excited.

It turns out that not only does he know himself, but even Wang Yu recognizes the other party, but who is this? Zong Jiyuan instinctively looked at the other party.

The young man was no more than twenty years old, with a thin figure and a dark complexion, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and carrying a wooden barrel as if he were going to carry water somewhere.

At this time, Wang Yu, who was pulled away by Zong Jiyuan a few steps away because he wanted to talk to the other party, also walked over, looked at him up and down, and suddenly remembered something, said,

"You...... Could it be ......?"

"That's me,"

The young man's smile suddenly became sweet,

"The two benefactors really don't recognize me, I'm Ji Xiaoyun that you rescued from the Hu Mansion."

"Ji, Xiaoyun?"

Hearing her say this, Zong Jiyuan saw that the person in front of him was really Ji Xiaoyun girl dressed as a man.

"But, Miss Xiaoyun, why are you here? And dressed up like this. ”

"It's a long story,"

At this time, Ji Xiaoyun was already the same as when he was just rescued from the Hu Mansion by the officials, and he was scared, and he spoke neatly and simply.

"The two fathers should come to my house and sit down, what's the matter with standing on the road and chatting like this."

"It's good,"

It just so happened that he wanted to go to that courtyard, but he didn't expect it to be an acquaintance's home, Zong Jiyuan nodded happily and agreed, and under the guidance of Ji Xiaoyun, he entered the small fence courtyard with Wang Yu.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ji Xiaoyun shouted,

"Grandpa, come out soon, you're a guest!"

"Who's coming?"

As he spoke, the door of the adobe house opened, and an old man in his fifties and sixties came out, asking questions and looking at the two strangers who had just walked into his courtyard.

"Yun'er, these two are ......"

"Grandpa, don't worry, they are definitely good people, and Yun'er's life was saved by them."

Ji Xiaoyun was still so happy.

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up,

"Could it be that it is the ...... of the yamen?"

"yes, that's them,"

Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly ran to the old man and lowered his voice,

"You must be quiet, don't let outsiders hear, this beautiful one is the grandmaster of the county government, and the other one is ......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Yu again, and then said,

"The one who looks very majestic is the fourth brother Wang who sent me home."

"Hey, I'm not called Wang Si, okay,"

Wang Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and hurriedly corrected it,

"My name is Wang Yu, didn't I tell you about it last time?"

"But I'm used to calling Fourth Brother Wang, what should I do?"

Ji Xiaoyun smiled mischievously.

The old man couldn't help laughing, and said,

"Yun'er, don't mess around, by the way, aren't you going to fetch water, why don't you go quickly, otherwise you won't even have the water to make tea for the guests."

"Oh, yes,"

Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly lifted the wooden barrel that had been placed on the ground again, and instructed the old man,

"Grandpa, you must be careful to greet the two of them."

"Don't worry, you go and go back quickly."

The old man urged her with a smile.
