"Who?"

After a while, an old lady with a small oil lamp in her hand stood in the courtyard and asked, "Who is it?" Who's knocking on the door? ”

Since it was an old lady, Jing Yuan was relieved in his heart, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Old man, I am a pedestrian passing by here, because I lost my way in the dark and was separated from my family, so I want to spend the night in your house, I don't know your house...... Party inconvenient? ”

As he spoke, he took off the hairpin from his head and hid it in his sleeve.

"It's a girl!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and as she stepped forward to open the door, she muttered in her mouth: "What a pitiful thing, this big night, lost here......

The door was opened with a "squeak", and Jing Yuan looked at the old lady in front of him with a blank face, only to see that the old lady's hair was gray, and she was lightly tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, and she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, with a lot of patches on them, and she was not a wealthy family at first glance.

"Such a beautiful girl......"

Although Jing Yuan is also embarrassed, her temperament and appearance are still there, and the old lady is not deaf, so she can naturally see that Jing Yuan is not an ordinary person.

"Come in, girl, if you continue to walk forward, I am afraid it will be another hour before you have a place to stay...... Alas, although my house is in tatters, there are still tiles to cover my body, coarse tea and light rice, girls should not dislike ......"

As she spoke, the old lady let go of her body with a loving look on her face.

Jing Yuan was suddenly flattered, and hurriedly blessed the old lady: "Thank you, I am grateful to be able to have something to satisfy the hunger of the little girl, and I have found my family when I turn back, I must thank you well!" ”

"Alas, the Zhuang family, what is thankful or not, when you are away, it is inevitable that there will be some difficulties......"

The old lady re-fastened the door, and then led Jing Yuan to the house step by step.

In the Zhuang family, the house was divided into east and west wings, and Jing Yuan followed the old lady in from the main house, passing by the kitchen, and then came to the main house.

The furnishings in the main room were really not much better than Jing Yuan thought, a bed that looked very old, and the bedding was patched, but it looked quite clean; A few worn-out boxes and cabinets are considered furnishings, and even the curtains on the windows have been mended several times in some places, I don't know if they were blown by the wind or pierced by naughty children.

The small oil lamp was placed on the table by the old lady, and Jing Yuan sat on a somewhat uneven stool with some restraint, looking at this somewhat dilapidated room, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Old man, do you live here alone?"

It's been half a day and there hasn't been anyone else, and there doesn't seem to be any movement in the west wing, Jing Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Alas, my wife and I am also a hard-working man, my wife went early, leaving only one son to rely on me, and this year he is thirty-six......"

When the old lady heard Jing Yuan mention it, she also chattered: "A few years ago, I also talked about a daughter-in-law, but unfortunately when I gave birth, my daughter-in-law had a difficult birth, and one corpse and two lives went like this, and we left our mother and son to rely on each other...... Alas! ”

"Then, that big brother, ah no, where did the uncle go?"

Thirty-six, but he is twenty-one years older than himself, and it seems a little inappropriate to call him eldest brother, so Jing Yuan immediately changed his words when he said it.

"Alas, since his daughter-in-law left, he has been depressed, drinking every day, and he is always at home, and I don't know what he has done outside for a living......"

The old lady sighed babblingly: "Now that I'm older, I'm useless, and he doesn't listen to what he says, so ah, I also want to open, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, when my wife closes her eyes and kicks her legs, it's good to just pass!" ”

Jing Yuan's heart was silent, not knowing what to say.

If you talk about hardship, you have indeed suffered in your previous life, but you have never encountered this situation of the old lady in front of you.

Hate iron but not steel?

Jing Yuan thought a little uncertainly, but she didn't dare to speak casually at this time, but she firmly remembered the appearance of the old lady, and thought that if she could return to the palace safely, she would definitely have more rewards when she turned around, so that she could die a peaceful and happy life even if she was not supported by her son in the future......

While thinking nonsense, the old lady had already brought a bowl of mixed vegetable soup from the kitchen, and a nest head was placed in front of Jing Yuan.

"Our family is poor, there is nothing to eat, if the girl does not dislike it, she will barely use some to satisfy her hunger......"

Jing Yuan was grateful, and he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly stood up and blessed the old man, and said, "Thank you, old man, I'm really hungry after walking for a long time......

After a pleasant greeting, Jing Yuan began to eat his second meal of the day.

The old lady suddenly pursed her lips and laughed, Jing Yuan raised her head and looked at the old lady with some puzzlement.

"The girl looks so good when she eats, it's just different from us mountain village women!"

The old lady saw that Jing Yuan stopped talking, and hurriedly explained with a smile.

Jing Yuan grinned, and suddenly thought of the way he gobbled up when he had dinner with Mu Mingxuan at noon.

Although I was hungrier at that time than now, the reason why I was so unruly, I don't know if it was because I seemed to be very relaxed in front of Mu Mingxuan?

I don't know...... Is he awake now?

Jing Yuan's heart swelled with gloom, and when he thought about it like this, he no longer had any appetite.

After all, after dawn tomorrow, he will enter the city, as long as he enters the city, he will forget all these things that have happened in the past few days, and he is still the princess of the palace of the Li Kingdom.

After eating, the old lady cleaned up the bed again, Jing Yuan still kept an eye on it, put the hairpin he had taken off before next to the pillow, just in case, and then slept with his clothes.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, in the second half of the night, Jing Yuan couldn't hold it anymore, his eyelids gradually became heavy, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep, but the hairpin was still held tightly by Jing Yuan in his hand.

"Hmmm......"

Falling asleep, he suddenly felt that something seemed to come to him, Jing Yuan waved his hand a little impatiently, and whispered: "Biru, don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while......"

But the other party seemed to be just stunned for a moment, but he didn't leave, his hand also touched his cheek, and as soon as the warm touch came, Jing Yuan opened his eyes violently, and was suddenly startled!

It turned out that in front of him was a person, a man, a strong man!

Jing Yuan was about to scream, but the man was one step faster than Jing Yuan, covered Jing Yuan's mouth with one hand, and said viciously to Jing Yuan: "If you know each other, don't make a sound, if not, don't blame Uncle Ben for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”

Jing Yuan gasped for breath, his chest also rose and fell, and through the moonlight, he saw the man in front of him with a fierce face, thirty or forty years old, and immediately reacted, and just wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't speak, so he had to point to the man's hand and signal him to take it away, he would be obedient.

As soon as the man's hand left Jing Yuan's face, Jing Yuan gasped for breath, but in this way, the arc of his chest became more and more obvious.

"I didn't expect such a Peugeot girl to stay at my house today......"

The man salivated, rubbed his hands, and stared at Jing Yuan's face with squinting eyes: "It's a shame that I can go home today, otherwise wouldn't it be good to have such a good thing?" ”

How could Jing Yuan have ever seen such a situation? Even if she was imprisoned in the dark room in her previous life, she was still a golden and noble princess, how could she have such a scoundrel to defile herself?

Jing Yuan only felt that his teeth were chattering up and down, and he couldn't run out of the room, so he could only keep curling up in the bed.

"You, don't come here!"

Jing Yuan looked frightened, shouted, and tried to dispel the man: "I tell you, if you let me go, for your mother's sake, I can give you glory and wealth!" But, but if you dare to touch a single hair of me, believe it or not, believe it or not, I will let you die without a place to bury in the future! ”

"Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!"

The man still looked at Jing Yuan with a lewd face, wiped his hand unconsciously on the side of his mouth, and approached Jing Yuan step by step with a wicked smile, his eyes shining: "It's been a long time since I've met such a fierce little lady, well, it's much better than those goods in Baihualou!" Little girl, I advise you to honestly obey Uncle Ben, otherwise, don't blame Uncle Ben for destroying flowers! ”

While speaking, the man grabbed Jing Yuan's clothes, and with a "tear" sound, the outermost palace gauze skirt was torn!

Jing Yuan was shocked in his heart, and suddenly realized that he still had a hairpin in his hand, and hurriedly stabbed the man indiscriminately, and while piercing, he shouted loudly outside: "Come on, help, help, old lady......"

"Shhh

The man was careless for a while, but he was really snatched by the hairpin in his arm, his face changed, and he suddenly became angry!

Suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jing Yuan's hair, Jing Yuan was in pain for a while, regardless of the hairpin falling to the ground, he protected his hair with his hands, and his face was full of pain.

"Fuck, toast and don't eat and drink!"

The man scolded and scolded, looking at Jing Yuan's unyielding appearance, he suddenly became vicious, and the slap of "snap" was directly hit on Jing Yuan's face!

"Ahh

Xu was because of too much strength, Jing Yuan suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears, his head was also dizzy, and he was suddenly planted to the side, losing his strength, and it seemed that he couldn't even struggle!

Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer, Jing Yuan was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have escaped from Mu Mingxuan's side!

Now it can be regarded as just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den!

Jing Yuan could even feel the man's breath on his face, and a pair of Lushan claws were also grabbed at his belt, Jing Yuan thought miserably: Since he can't hide, then he will kill himself by biting his tongue!
