The two walked all the way to the small grass hut next to the saline-alkali land, and Pei Qingyu was surprised to find that there were still people living here. Hearing the sound, an old woman came out trembling, and it was the old woman who was running to the last little girl at the rally.

After all, they are two people who depend on each other, how can they see a little girl without her grandmother? Pei whispered in his heart. Although the old woman is old, her memory is surprisingly good, and after looking at Pei Qingyu, she recognized who she was. "It's the girl who kindly bought my child's garland, come in and sit down."

Pei whispered thank you and walked into the house, there was not much decoration in the house, the simple table and clay kang, and the cleaned windows were bright and clean. The little girl swayed and brought the white steamed buns made by her mother-in-law, and looked at her expectantly, Pei whispered a little embarrassed, and when she wanted to refuse, she smelled a strange smell, why does this steamed bun smell sweet? In disbelief, she gently tore off a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth, the familiar taste of maltose catalyzed by starch and salivary enzymes made her almost burst into tears. At the torn opening, white syrup slowly flowed out. Wait, how can this family afford to eat white flour steamed buns? Pei, who had a happy face, whispered that something was wrong.

Seeing Pei Qingyu's eyes that were first intoxicated and then shocked, the old woman explained: "Old, I don't have any other ideas, just the last bit of pursuit of eating something good, fortunately, my son is filial and can bring me a little new gadgets from time to time." ”

"Your son is ......" Pei whispered, his mouth was still bulging, but he couldn't help his curiosity. This white sugar was invented by His Highness only before yesterday, and it should be in the county seat now. Your son, this is not a question of filial piety or not, this is a matter of hands and eyes!

"You should have seen it, Wang Mingyan, the one who has been with you a few days ago is the one who doesn't like to talk the most." Pei Qingyu remembered what he said last time, "My mother lives next to this field, waiting for the day when it gets better." "No wonder there are still people who dare to come and live in the place where everyone detours, it turns out that it is still Lao Wang's family, which makes sense. So the filial Wang Mingyan bought some sugar with Zhao Shizhen before he left and sent it over? This also explains why the white sugar, which has only been made for two days, appears here.

"I don't know what your Royal Highness the princess is doing here. Half of the village was cutting bamboo for her, and half was digging a hole for her. It's been a long time since I've seen this lively village. The old woman babbled as if she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

Pei whispered so frightened that he almost didn't hold the sweet bun: "How do you know the identity of His Highness?" ”

The old woman didn't have the slightest sense of breaking the sky, and still said happily:

"When your Highness said not to call me Your Highness in the bazaar that day, when you want to call me sister, I was behind you." Looking at Pei's indescribable expression, she joked: "What, do you want to kill me, an old woman?" I don't care, it's just a pity that I didn't get to see this barren land restored to its original state, although I didn't have any expectations for the old man. ”

Pei whispered like a deflated ball. "You have said it, how can you whisper such an indiscriminate killing of innocent people? But please keep this secret and don't spread it. ”

"The old man is soft-spoken, and even if he says it, most of them will be regarded as the nonsense of a crazy woman, where will anyone listen to it? Don't take it too seriously, either. ”

Pei Qingyu looked at the old woman's unfazed appearance from beginning to end, knowing that she was completely seen through, she was a little unconvinced, and her mind turned and she thought of a topic that could shock her. "Your Highness is here specifically to govern this saline-alkali land. Whether it's cutting bamboo or digging ponds, the purpose is to do just that. ”

The old woman smiled disapprovingly, "My son also told me, but this place is caused by God's punishment, where is it so easy for God to take back his punishment?" ”

"Then do you think Your Highness came here for fun? His Royal Highness recruited people's husbands, spent a lot of money, and even did not hesitate to take out the secret recipes that his own teachers did not pass on to earn those blockages, all just for fun? Pei Qingyu doesn't like people to doubt His Royal Highness, her master said, His Royal Highness has far-reaching knowledge, far better than her, and she should learn more with her. Pei Qingyu firmly believes that if you have a different opinion from Your Highness, it will definitely not be Your Highness's problem, it must be that you haven't understood Your Highness's true thoughts.

If Pei Qingyu just wanted to shock the old woman with this news, now her thoughts have shifted to trying to persuade the old woman to believe in Her Highness.

The old lady listened and found that Chen Lihua had made so many preparations, and then looked at Pei Qingyu's expression, it was not like a fake, and finally believed that the three eldest ladies were not throwing money and shouting to play, and her voice trembled and confirmed again:

"Your Highness...... Is there really such an ability? Little girl, this is no joke. ”

"Hmm. Your Highness will be able to do it. Pei whispered without thinking much and nodded.

To her surprise, the old woman did not laugh or shout, she bent her waist and slowly lay on the ground, wanting to kowtow to her in thanks. Pei Qingyu was shocked, and hugged the old man like lightning, preventing her from making the next move.

The old grandmother was no longer as calm as before, struggling violently, crying and begging in a heart-rending tone: "If you can really do it, you can do whatever you want to do with the old body, and the old body will be willing to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life." Hearing Pei whispering, he panicked.

Pei Qingyu has never seen a person who can be so desperate, and the deep sadness of not seeing hope for a long time is deposited in his heart, and he is completely ignited when he hears a trace of possibility, although he doesn't know her story in the past few decades, but Pei Qingyu feels that he has made some great promises.

She didn't expect the old woman's reaction to be so big, she just developed the habit of being hard-mouthed in the quarrel with Su Qingyun in the past few days, and at the same time she didn't like anyone to suspect the omnipotent His Highness, what she wanted to hear was just a thank you from the old woman, it would be better if she could compensate Her Highness a little, just say a little bit It seems that the old man is wrong. She had never wanted to be worshipped, especially such an old man. She didn't think about how much the saline land would affect the village and the family. Only then did she realize that some of the things that seemed to them to be indifferent to success or not might be goals that others had been longing for all their lives and could not achieve.

Can His Highness really succeed? She asked herself in her heart, and all she got was confusion. Of course, she believed that His Highness would not lie, but His Highness, she was not a god. Is this kind of vicissitudes of life something that people can do? Even if His Highness is 100% sure, what if there is any accident? Can the old woman, who is so excited now, accept the blow when the time comes?

Behind her, the little girl who had been helping her grandmother cook and light the fire when she entered the house also grabbed Pei Qingyu's arm excitedly and cheered: "Great, now grandpa can come back!" ”

Pei moved his lips softly, but he still didn't dare to respond.
