"There's something wrong with that woman." Li Tingyu frowned and thought.

They have been in Nanling for so long, they rarely show up, and there are not many people who know Lu Ce at all.

This woman can actually find out Lu Ce's identity, what is her origin?

"Well, I'll send someone to check on her, don't worry." Lu Ce reached out and smoothed the folds between her eyebrows.

"Okay, then I'll go cook." Since Lu Ce promised, she didn't have to worry about it.

So she took Banxia to the kitchen.

The newly bought servants would have to stay overnight at the tooth shop and be delivered tomorrow, so they had to do it themselves.

"Lu Er, you let them keep an eye on this, protect the lady, and don't let any cats and dogs run in." Lu Ce always felt that something was wrong.

The way the woman looked at him was not the same as the way she looked at Zhaozhao.

He was a little uneasy.

"Yes." Lu Er received the order, and quietly contacted the Lu family who was in the dark, and those were the secret guards left by the old general to the young master.

Li Tingyu didn't know all this yet, she was busy cooking.

Since calling Nanling, Lu Ce hasn't eaten her cooking.

After being busy for a long time, I finally eat.

Lu Er was about to cry when he ate it, it was so delicious, it was still good to have a young lady.

Can he change with the secret guard, he will protect the safety of the young lady and let them follow the young master to the barracks.

After dinner, Lu Ce was going back to the barracks.

Li Tingyu took his hand, very reluctant.

"Then you're going back with me?" Lu Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Li Tingyu was a little hesitant when he heard this.

When I went back to the barracks and came out again, I had to wait for ten days, and if I waited like this, the daylilies would be cold.

"Okay, you are good, I am still waiting for you to earn money to support me." Lu Ce knew her entanglement and didn't let her make more choices. He kissed her on the forehead and left.

Li Tingyu and Banxia went to the door to watch the two leave, then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, took a comfortable hot bath, and then lay back on the bed contentedly.

This big bed is much more comfortable than the one in the barracks.

She had to get some sleep, and tomorrow she had to go to those villages to find out what was going on.

Meimei slept beautifully, and on the second day, Li Tingyu changed into men's clothes and took Banxia with Banxia, and went to Shantou Village in good spirits.

Shantou Village is located at the junction of southern Xinjiang and Dongcang, and this place has changed the national border back and forth many times, so there are a lot of people in Dongcang mixed with southern Xinjiang here.

Their children are also the most vulnerable to discrimination.

The people of Dongcang disliked them for being barbaric, and the people of southern Xinjiang disliked them as traitors, and their survival was the most difficult.

Starting with them, it is naturally the most suitable.

The appearance of two strangers, Li Tingyu and Banxia, naturally quickly aroused the vigilance of the villagers.

Everyone stared at them both wary, and the little ones hid behind the adults and watched them timidly.

Li Tingyu didn't care at all, let them look at him.

"Do you eat sugar?" Li Tingyu smiled and took out a brown paper bag from his arms, and after opening it, he revealed a sugar cube.

The onlookers couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the adults glared at their own children. If they dare to take it, they will beat them up.

Seeing that they didn't eat, Li Tingyu didn't care, she put away the sugar, walked up to a kind-faced aunt and asked, "Hello, how do you get to Lizheng's house?" ”

"Go straight to the big tree in front of you and go east, and the house with the red lantern hanging at the door is it." This aunt didn't expect this little boy to be so polite, and she was a little flattered.

"Thank you." Li Tingyu thanked him and took Banxia to Lizheng's house.

Someone in the village had already reported the matter to Lizheng.

Therefore, before Li Tingyu arrived at Lizheng's house, he saw an old man in his fifties standing under the red lantern.

"This son, what's the matter with you?" In the mountain village, He Rong spoke slowly.

It's been a long time since outsiders have come to their village, and this little boy is obviously dressed up from a rich family, and they can't afford to mess with them.

"I have a business I want to talk to you about." Li Tingyu has a gentle attitude and is very polite.

He Rong frowned and said, "We are all farmers who dig in the land, and we won't do business." ”

The expected refusal, Li Tingyu was not discouraged, and continued: "Don't be in a hurry to reject me first, this is a major matter related to the entire village. ”

When the onlookers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Ears pricked up, reluctant to leave.

"Come in and sit." He Rong didn't want so many people to hear their conversation, so he took Li Tingyu and Banxia back to his home.

The onlookers had no choice but to leave in a huff.

He Rong is Lizheng, and their family is a decent family in this village.

But even so, they have a tight life.

Li Tingyu looked at Li Zheng's house, and he knew it in his heart.

"Wife, pour a glass of water for the guest." He Rong shouted, and an old woman came to pour water for Li Tingyu with a kettle.

Li Tingyu thanked him with a smile and drank the water slowly.

There was silence for a long time.

He Rong couldn't help it, and took the lead in speaking: "What's the matter with Childe?" ”

"Li Zheng, I want to ask, the three surrounding villages, Peach Blossom Village, Shantou Village, and Stone Village, why is our Shantou Village the poorest?"

When He Rong heard this, his face suddenly turned bad.

"If you're here to make fun of me, you can go." He sank his face and was about to send off the guest.

Li Tingyu continued to speak unhurriedly: "It's not because of everyone's identity. Taohua Village is dominated by Dongcang people, and Stone Village is dominated by southern Xinjiang people, but we are the only ones who multiply after the Dongcang and Southern Xinjiang people intermarry. ”

"Old woman, send off." He Rong, who was poked in the sore spot in the center, was reluctant to listen to her anymore.

The old woman came over and asked Li Tingyu's master and servant to leave.

Li Tingyu ignored her and continued to speak: "But isn't this just your advantage." This advantage is enough to get you out of the present situation. ”

She didn't get up and kept staring at He Rong's back.

"What advantages?" He Rong was silent for a while, but still asked.

Seeing this, He Rong's wife silently returned to the yard to continue feeding the chickens.

Their identities had always been disliked, and this was the first time he had been told that they were useful.

"You can not only hear the words of the people of Southern Xinjiang, but also understand the words of the people of Dongcang, this is your greatest advantage. Not to mention that you know how to grow herbs. Li Tingyu was full of confidence.

"But the herbs can't be sold." He Rong sighed.

"That's why I'm here." Li Tingyao said with a smile.

"You're from southern Xinjiang?" He Rong tentatively asked in southern Xinjiang dialect.

"I don't understand the southern Xinjiang dialect, I'm from Dongcang." Regarding this, Li Tingyu didn't intend to lie to them.

"What? No, no, the ancestors have an order, and the herbs must not be sold to the people of Dongcang. He Rong waved his hand again and again.
