The mother and son traveled all the way, and in about two hours, they arrived at the foot of Longfei Mountain.

The sun in the sky is still scorching the world, and there is no sign of rain.

Longfei Mountain is located in the northeast of Xiaping Town, rising from the original open and flat plain, because of its steepness and steepness and named Longfei Mountain, the farmers under the mountain because of the continuous water source in the mountain, nourishing and fertilizing this land, and live and work in peace and contentment.

Standing at the entrance of the village, you can hear the laughter of the children in the village, the barking of dogs and the crowing of chickens, and there is a lively and jubilant atmosphere.

A family of four entered the village, and the peasants along the way saw strangers entering the village, and they were all vigilant, estimating that the four of them were not very lethal, so they slowly relaxed their hearts.

The people in the village have been born and raised in Si for generations, and they have also died in Si, and occasionally there is also the movement between relatives in the neighboring villages, and the villagers are full of curiosity about the mother and son.

Yu Ruyi stopped a child, who glanced back and ran towards the village.

Yu Ruyi touched her nose, did she look like a bad person?

"This eldest brother, please ask, where does the patriarch's family live?" Yu Ruyi stopped a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and asked.

"You go straight on this road, and there is a green-tiled yard in front of you." The boy pointed in random directions and hurried away.

Standing in front of the courtyard with blue bricks and tiles, before Yu Ruyi had time to knock on the door, the door was kicked open vigorously from the inside with a "bang", and the people in the courtyard were shocked when they saw the mother and son outside the courtyard.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is the patriarch at home?"

"Come in, my grandfather is here."

This is a three-entry courtyard, clean and tidy, revealing the rigor of the owner everywhere. He followed the boy in and was led to a side room to sit.

"Wait a minute, drink some water, I'll call my master." The boy turned and walked out.

After a while, a gray-haired old man came in, and the family of four hurriedly got up to salute.

"A few guests came from afar, I don't know what to do with the old man?" The old man sat down at the main seat.

"Our mother and son were originally farmers in Yujiaping, but because of the famine begging and wandering passing by here, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here, the feng shui is excellent, my mother and son want to buy one or two houses and huts here, regardless of the good luck, but also to survive this harsh winter, so come to disturb the patriarch, please forgive me."

Yu Ruyi told the cause and effect, and the old patriarch nodded knowingly.

"This is not a trivial matter, don't you have a man in charge in your family? Can you call the shots as a female doll?"

"My father and eldest brother were separated from us on the way, and looking for a place to stay here is also to find them as soon as possible, hoping that the patriarch and grandfather can take in our mother and son, great kindness, my mother and son will not dare to forget."

"If you want to buy one or two houses here, it is not a big problem to settle down, but your mother and son have four people, no land and no land, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to feed?"

"The patriarch doesn't have to worry about this, we are not stealing chickens and dogs, even if we are poor, we will not do anything that violates morality, today's words can also be used as evidence, if one day we violate this word, my mother and son will leave on their own." Yu Ruyi said loudly.

"You little girl is a little capable...... the patriarch muttered.

"Then you will go to the village with me, and see if there is anyone willing to sell the house to your mother and son, if this can be done, your mother and son will temporarily settle in our village, but don't forget what you said today, if not, the old man, I can't do anything."

"This is natural, I will not forget today's words, so, thank you patriarch." Yu Ruyi stepped forward to salute, and Liu also hurriedly took the child to bow.

Subsequently, the patriarch took Yu Ruyi's family of four to walk around the village, and also explained his intention to the villagers. Most of the villagers shook their heads when they heard this, because selling a house was already a great disrespect to their ancestors, and even if their children and grandchildren were incompetent, even if they could not expand their houses and buy land and houses, they should not sell their houses to strangers.

However, a little child was a little shaken, looking not very old, about eight or nine years old, wearing patches after patches, his whole body was dirty, his face was a thick layer of dirt, and he couldn't see the color of his original skin.

"Do you really want to buy a house?"

"Yes, we're going to buy a house." A warm smile flashed across Yu Ruyi's originally disappointed face.

"Our house is very dilapidated, but my mother is sick and has no money to buy medicine, can you go and see our house, I am willing to sell our best house to you." The little boy's eyes sparkled with hope.

"It's okay to break the point, then you can take us to see it."

"Okay, come with me."

The little boy led the way, and the group was full of people, and the children of the village and many farmers and peasant women who were now idle followed to see the excitement.

Dabao Xiaobao was a little scared, holding Yu Ruyi's sleeves tightly, and Yu Ruyi comfortingly touched the two furry heads.

After walking through the village for about half an hour, the little boy's home was located in the northernmost part of the village, next to the foot of Longfei Mountain, where several dilapidated houses were in disrepair, and many parts of the adobe houses were crumbling.

There is no doubt that this is the most dilapidated house in the village, the owner of the Li family husband is a native of Longfei Village, and is a lone seedling, two years after she gave birth to her son Xu Zihao, one day her husband went to Longfei Mountain to hunt and never returned, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law could not accept the blow and died one after another, leaving the Li orphans and widows. is unable to support this family, and the Li family is not in good health, taking medicine all year round, and the silver money has long been exhausted. At this time, I was very happy to hear that someone was going to buy a house.

Yu Ruyi walked around the house three times, and was still quite satisfied, although it was dilapidated, the light was always good, but it didn't matter, the important thing was to take root here. And it's a little remote, and you can avoid people and eyes when you do what you do.

In the end, Yu Ruyi selected two rooms, and the Li family asked for one or two halves of silver, and Yu Ruyi was very refreshing, and took out one or two halves from the burden and handed them to the Li family, and then the patriarch acted as an intermediary, wrote a good note, and both parties signed and drew a pledge. As a result, Yu Ruyi put his mind at ease, even if the house is dilapidated, but if it is repaired before winter, the family will not be frozen to death this winter.

The villagers who watched the excitement saw that there was no excitement to see, so they dispersed in a hurry.

At this time, it was dusk, and Yu Ruyi's family of four stood in the two rooms that had been cleaned up, happy, and Dabao Xiaobao directly took off his shoes and rolled on the kang.

"Mother, sister, we have a home, we don't have to sleep in the wilderness......" The brothers shouted excitedly, thinking about the wandering around in the past few months, and now they are so happy.

"Well, we have a home. It's all your sister who has a future......" Liu also wiped tears happily. Touching his lower abdomen, a trace of blush flashed on his originally pale face.

"Sister, sister, come and play with us," Dabao called Ruyi excitedly.

"My sister has grown up, so I won't play with you anymore, you two will play by yourself."

"But you've been playing with us before......" Xiaobao pouted unhappily.

"I know, it's all because the eldest brother is not there, when the eldest brother was there before, the eldest brother didn't play with us, my sister played with us, and now the eldest brother is not here, my sister is the same as the eldest brother!" Xiaobao suddenly realized.

Hearing him mention the eldest brother, except for Xiaobao, who was still excited, the other three mothers and sons were silent.

"Second brother, will one day my sister be gone, and you won't play with me?" Xiaobao asked innocently.

"Fool, how could it be, my sister won't be there, and my second brother won't not play with you." Dabao touched Xiaobao's head and said comfortingly.

This night, the mother and son squeezed together on a kang and fell asleep.
