His hair was gray, the wrinkles on his face were like a thousand ravines, and he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his eyes were watching them warily.

The child next to him has thin arms like bamboo poles, and two eyes are sparkling on his blue and yellow palm-sized face.

When the old man's eyes touched the knife on the guard's body, he suddenly grabbed the ignorant child, shook his body, took a few steps into the house, and closed the door with a "bang".

Qin Mufeng's eyes darkened, his expression was gloomy and uncertain, thinking in his heart, looking at this situation, this village may also have suffered a disaster, right?

Anyway, I have to find someone to save this village.

"That.... Do you want to go to our house? "The woodcutter got off the baby-faced guard's horse.

Qin Mufeng's gaze fell on the woodcutter's little brother.

"Our house is right here." The woodcutter's mouth was smiling, and the expression on his face was sincere and serious.

Qin Mufeng actually understood very well in his heart, looking at the old man's reaction just now, and then looking at the ruins of this village, it was rare for this woodcutter to invite them to his house.

After all, there was a famine, and all of them had long mouths, and they were afraid that ordinary people would not have time to look and hide.

Qin Mufeng pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.

The woodcutter's brother happily led everyone to his house, where there were many houses, and looking at several rooms outside, it could be seen that his family had a rich family in the past.

"Mother~ I'm back." The woodcutter's brother slammed the door twice.

Soon a lady's voice came from the room, from far and near.

"Chunsheng, are you back?"

"Yes, mother, open the door."

The young man who was called Chunsheng slapped the door twice more.

The door suddenly opened, and a woman of about forty, with a slightly yellow face and a red mouth, seemed to be infected with the wind and cold, and coughed a few times with her sleeves covered.

The smile of joy on his face, after meeting the eyes of so many people except his son, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded.

She stretched out her hand and dragged her son, like a hen guarding a chicken, and protected her behind her and said, "Who are you?" ”

The young man immediately broke away from his mother's hand and said, "Mother, what are you doing here?" If it weren't for them today, your son would have died today. ”

The woman's face was anxious, "Son, what the hell is going on?" ”

Chunsheng patted the woman's shoulder, "Mother, I'll tell you later, this is my life-saving benefactor today." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the woman over and invited Qin Mufeng and his guards into the courtyard together.

The yard is not big, and there is a small garden in the middle, but unfortunately there is not even a single flower now, and there is no grass in it.

I don't know what the woman whispered to the woman, but the woman's eyes didn't stare at them like a wolf anymore, her eyes were a little respectful, she bowed slightly to everyone, and went to the kitchen to make food for everyone.

Qin Mufeng gave a look, and Xiao Liuzi immediately took the dry food from their horse and took it towards the kitchen.

Qin Mufeng was invited into the house by this young man, and the room looked neat and tidy, and he could see that the woman was diligent.

Chunsheng picked up a porcelain-white teapot on the table, scalded the cup twice, then poured a glass of water, and walked over and said, "Engong, please drink water, there is no tea at home, please don't dislike it." ”

Qin Mufeng took the cup, said politely with a cold expression, and asked about the things in the village again.

It turns out that this is the case, in the early years of this village, the families lived a prosperous life, they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and their lives were plain and fulfilling.

Suddenly, one day, a group of robbers came to the village, killing and plundering, not only robbing the village of money and food, but also abducting many women.

These people have ruined the village inside and out.

Not long after the robber passed, he encountered a few years of disasters, and this year's income was not as good as a year's, and the people who could move away took the money and left early. Now there are only about 100 people left in the village.

"Bang~" The cup in Qin Mufeng's hand rested heavily on the table, "This world is not the king's land, these people are really too bold, and they are actually committing crimes everywhere." ”

Qin Mufeng's tone was cold, and the expression on his face was more like crossing a layer of ice.

This voice startled Chunsheng, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned, and seeing that Qin Mufeng's momentum changed completely, he suddenly vaguely guessed in his heart that the person in front of him was probably the son of a big family.

At dinnertime, thanks to Qin Mufeng and his group, Chunsheng's mother and son finally smelled a trace of meat after half a year.

Qin Mufeng knew that he was afraid that the life of the mother and son in front of him would not be easy, so he asked Xiao Liuzi to take out their dry food.

In order to collect medicine this time, Qin Mufeng asked people to prepare dried meat and brown cakes in advance, so that they could eat them on the road.

On the humble table, everyone sat or squatted, around a long desk, and everyone had a bowl of steaming meat cakes in front of them.

There were also stir-fried greens, a few pickled side dishes, and baked wild vegetable cakes on the table.

Everyone looked at the hot, steaming meat cakes in front of them, and the smell made the worms in their stomachs roll, and they were simply salivating.

"Aunt Lin, this smells so fragrant~" Wei Laohei had a thick face, and he was happy, he had already inquired about the family's surname and who was in the family.

When cooking in someone's kitchen, Wei Laohei smelled the fragrance, and he had already jumped several times, and the eldest mother was short and short, which made people very embarrassed.

So now it's even more skillful to call this Aunt Lin.

The baby-faced guard twitched the corners of his mouth coldly, and his body moved slightly to the side, he usually didn't like this old black look like a dog.

"Eat quickly, everyone eat quickly, you're welcome, there is still in the pot~" Aunt Lin smiled happily, turned around and went to the kitchen to serve the soup.

As soon as Aunt Lin went out here, Xiao Liuzi quietly approached Qin Mufeng and asked in a low voice, seeing that Qin Mufeng did not object, he took out a silver needle from his sleeve and quickly tried it one by one in the bowl on the table.

Everyone was a little silent, but Wei Laohei looked at it nervously.

When the silver needle was taken out by Xiao Liuzi, everyone saw that the silver needle was still the same as before, and suddenly the sound of breathing sounded in the air.

Xiao Liuzi smiled and scolded in his heart, this is a personal elf.

Looking at his prince's cold face, he coughed lightly, and the whole room became quiet in an instant.

Aunt Lin led Lin Chunsheng to walk in with a bowl and soup and a smile, seeing that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, the smile on her face suddenly froze, "Distinguished guest.... Unappetizing meal? ”

Qin Mufeng's face was faint, his eyes glanced down slightly, and Xiao Liuzi immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "How could it be?" Our son-in-law likes it very much, but your master has not arrived, how can we eat? ”

"Oh~" Aunt Lin instantly showed a sudden expression of realization on her face, put down the soup can in her hand, and pulled her son to sit down.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, no one moved chopsticks. Aunt Lin thought about saying a few good words, but the momentum of this distinguished guest was too strong, she didn't dare to look up at others, let alone say anything.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"Let's eat~" Qin Mufeng said lightly, instantly resolving everyone's embarrassment.

Everyone picked up the bowl and squatted aside to eat, although the prince said that there was no need to talk too much about etiquette when going out, but they didn't dare to forget their identity and eat and sit with the master.

The uproar on the table was all withdrawn, and only Aunt Lin and Chunsheng were left.

The three of them stared at each other, but Qin Mufeng picked up the bowl first, and Aunt Lin's mother and son glanced at each other, and then picked up the bowl and ate it.

When Qin Mufeng eats, he doesn't like to talk, he usually does this in the Qin Palace, the momentum on his body is majestic, and he has an ice cube face, and the other two on the table eat like pins and needles.

Aunt Lin glanced at the corner of her eyes secretly, and saw that the person opposite was long, with eyebrows and eyes like peaks, and a pair of eyes were very cold, as if they were full of moonlight, with a little brilliance.

The face is handsome, and the bearing is very good.

Her Chunsheng said that this is a nobleman, and she can't be provoked, and she looks at it, she Aunt Lin has lived for half her life, but she has never seen such a good-looking person.

Besides, you see, you can see it just by eating.

The boy's back was straight, his eyes were lowered to eat, and the chopsticks and bowl would not touch each other, nor would they make a sound, and his lips and teeth would not touch each other, nor would he rudely chirp.

There is a degree of advance and retreat, and there is a degree of etiquette.

Such a son, how can Aunt Lin feel that he must have been born into a rich family, which is beyond the reach of these ants.

This Aunt Lin understands and understands that her heart is more transparent, her husband lost his life in his early years because of making a living, leaving them orphans and widows, seeing that this day is almost unbearable, this noble man came to the door, she faintly has a kind of joy, if she pleases this nobleman, maybe she can make a living for her son, it is better than starving to death in this small village.

Aunt Lin had an idea in her heart, so she paid attention to these people.

After dinner, Aunt Lin cleaned the house for them and invited them to stay.

Qin Mufeng had already paid attention, they were in time before the full moon, and now that they had arrived one day earlier, they could rest for a night and find out the news tomorrow.

Qin Mufeng nodded and agreed, his eyes were slightly cold, and he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Liuzi, who was cleaning up the bed: "Little Liuzi, get some silver for Aunt Lin." ”

Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment on her face, and after she understood the meaning of the words, she waved her hand again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

"How can this not be? There are so many people, tired of the aunt. As Xiao Liuzi spoke, the purse had been stuffed into Aunt Lin's hand.

Aunt Lin still wanted to refuse, but who knew that this little sixth son's hand was very strong, just like an iron clamp, firmly clamping the hand that Aunt Lin wanted to let go.

"Since our son-in-law said it, the eldest lady will take it well." Xiao Liuzi's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his hand loosened the hand that shackled Aunt Lin.

"Thank you, Child~" Aunt Lin gave a salute in a daze, she didn't know how she got out of the house, when she arrived in the yard, the cold wind blew, she was full of excitement, and the whole person came to her senses, and her back was covered in a cold sweat.

Lin Chunsheng came out and saw his mother standing in the yard in a daze, as if he had entered hysteria, he was also startled, hurriedly walked over a few steps, held Lin Auntie's arm, and said, "Mother~ What's wrong with you?" ”
