"Shall I come back in a moment?"

As soon as Pei Ran saw Xu Yunjin like that, she knew that she didn't know how to speak, so she consciously wanted to take on this task.

But Xu Yunjin refused, this was something that Deshou entrusted to her before leaving, and she wanted to help him, even though she didn't know how to tell the Ruan family this cruel truth.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

She knew that Pei Ran had good intentions, but don't do to others what you don't want to do, Pei Ran is not without heart, and she is also very sad about the departure of Deshou.

Then there was silence in the car, and the horse seemed to sense the mood of his master, and even slowed down his pace a lot.

But what should come will still come, no matter how slow they walk, they still arrived at the entrance of Mulberry Village, and as soon as everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, they were attracted by the mulberry trees all over the village.

I don't know if the mulberry trees in Mulberry Village were transplanted by our ancestors or grown by themselves, and they grow very luxuriantly.

The mulberry tree at the entrance of the village looks quite old, and there are still many green mulberries hanging on it, and it is not yet the season for the mulberries to ripen.

For the peasants, it is a busy time for farming all year round, so there is no one at the entrance of the village to chatter here, and a few people look at the entrance of the village for a while before preparing to enter.

As soon as I entered the village, I happened to meet a few children who came with baskets on their backs.

Seeing Xu Yunjin and his entourage, they were first vigilant, and then looked at the few big horses behind them with envy.

"Who are you?"

The eldest of them asked, fearing that they were bad people and clenched the scythe in his hand tightly to protect the younger ones behind him.

"Little brother, we want to go to Ruan Deshou's house, do you know where his house is?"

Han Shaozhi had a handsome face, and successfully made several children let down their guard, but they were confused, they hadn't heard the name Ruan Deshou.

"You're on the wrong track, there is no one named Ruan Deshou in our village."

The kid said to Han Shaozhi very politely, and Xu Yunjin pulled him away when he saw this, and he personally stepped forward to ask.

"Then is there a third boy of the Ruan family in your village who went to join the army and kill the enemy?"

Xu Yunjin has lived in the village for so many years, and he knows best what those adults call the younger generation, and the older ones will say what uncles and aunts.

The younger generation will say which girl and which boy, and if you get married, you will say the daughter-in-law of such and such a family.

So it is normal for these children not to know that Ruan Deshou, who is more than ten years older than them and is already an uncle.

Before Xu Wen was admitted to fame, the people in the village also called him Xu Laoer, and later when he became famous, everyone gradually called him by his name.

"Ah, you're talking about Grandpa Ruan's house at the end of the village, listen to my grandparents, they said that there is indeed a little uncle in the Ruan family who went to the battlefield to kill barbarians."

A few boys only reacted at this time who Han Shaozhi was talking about.

"Yes, yes, it's their house, can you take us to his house?"

It is the first time for Han Shaozhi to see this way of asking people, you must know that he also boasts that he is half a good villager, but there are still many places that are blind spots in his knowledge.

"Let's go, I'll take you to his field, his family is definitely not at home now."

The child at the head is very clever, knows the people and things in the village very well, and knows how to take them to the field to find people.

"Thank you, little brother, come and give you candy."

Han Shaozhi has been with Xu Yunjin for a long time, and he has also developed a habit of carrying candy with him.

When he was in Baohe County before, some children loved to cry when they saw a doctor, and he saw Xu Yunjin coaxing them with sugar to obediently prick needles and take medicine.

He was a quick learner, and knew that the children in the village rarely ate candy on weekdays, so he even bought some before coming.

"Thank you, brother."

A few children took the candy, but they didn't eat it immediately, and carefully put it in their pockets.

After that, he took everyone to the place where the Ruan family's field was located.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

Han Shao insisted that he couldn't keep calling other people's little brother, Yu

He leaned in and asked.

"My name is Jin Yinglin, and I'm ten years old this year." Han Shaozhi felt that this child's name was quite good.

"Brother Ying Lin is the eldest grandson of the village chief's grandfather, and he is the smartest child in our village."

One of the children said proudly, Xu Yunjin touched his head very cooperatively and said:

"You're all smart, too.".

The children seemed a little shy when they heard this, and laughed happily.

Jin Yinglin didn't react, he still looked like a little adult, and he looked very reliable, so Xu Yunjin asked him about the situation of the Ruan family.

The Ruan family has three sons, but the family is very poor, of course, not only the Ruan family is poor, but the entire village is poor, otherwise they would not be able to make up the money for military service.

Ruan Defu's daughter-in-law, the Long family, is capable, and she takes care of all the big and small things in the family, on the contrary, the rest of the family is mediocre.

Long is not the kind of troublemaker, on the contrary, she is also a key person in the harmony of the family.

When the Long family was about to give birth with her second child when she was recruited, the second daughter-in-law had just passed the door and was just pregnant.

It was under this circumstance that Ruan Deshou chose to join the army without telling his family, hoping that his nephew and niece would be born and see his father, but he didn't expect it to be gone.

The two wives of the Ruan family are also very guilty of Ruan Deshou, and they are more filial to their in-laws, so they can be said to be a very harmonious family.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were a little sour, originally a good family, but now there is one less.

Qi Ying, who had never seen human suffering, even had red eyes.

"Do you have anything to do with the Ruan family?"

Jin Yinglin is young and has never entered the school, but he is very sensitive to the emotional perception of Xu Yunjin and his party, and asked very carefully.

"We're from the barracks."

Looking at Jin Yinglin's eyes, Xu Yunjin didn't know how to tell him, so he had to answer simply.

But the smart Jin Yinglin guessed that the little uncle of the Ruan family should have had an accident, and after thinking about it, he called the little friend on the side and whispered a few words.

Xu Yunjin and the others were all practitioners, and his words naturally fell into their ears, and several people were very surprised by this child's carefulness.

Zeng Yiqian also thinks that this child is a good seedling, if he has the opportunity to go to school, I am afraid that it will be a different appearance after three or five years.

Mulberry Village is not large, and the fields are almost always concentrated in a relatively flat area.

The people did not go fast, and when they arrived, they saw many people in the field bending down to work.

The villagers, dressed in dusty clothes, bent over to weed, fertilize the soil, and even the younger ones helped with the work.

As soon as the people in the village saw Jin Yinglin's children, they greeted them with a smile, and asked Xu Yunjin, who was very rich and noble when they got up:

"Boy Lin, who are the next ones?"

A fat aunt came up, and when she saw Xu Yunjin and the others, there was vigilance and fear in her eyes.

"Third aunt, they came to find Grandpa Ruan, and they came out of the barracks."

After Jin Yinglin finished speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the villagers, and went straight to the Ruan's land, leaving the villagers behind to guess their intentions.

"These people look like rich and noble families, it can't be that the three boys have made meritorious contributions in the military camp."

The fat aunt said very excitedly, if that is the case, their village will be considered to be bright.

"Not necessarily, if it is a meritorious service, it should be a gong and drum to report the good news, but you look at the looks on the faces of those nobles, the three boys are probably more auspicious..."

An old man sat on the ridge and said leisurely, when Jin Yinglin brought them over just now, he had been observing the faces of the group.

If it was a good thing, I am afraid that those boys would have already spoken out, and they would not have to wait until the Ruan family to say it.

Everyone also looked a little sad when they heard this, there were a total of 20 soldiers in their village, and so far there have been more than a dozen families for their children

Clothed and graved.

"This... Why don't we go and see, and if so, we can help comfort you."

An older woman in the crowd said that when the officers and soldiers from the county came to report in the past, they also cried so much.

If something really happened to the Ruan family, it is estimated that the women in their family are similar.

"Let's go."

The old man who spoke earlier was the first to get up and walk in front of everyone, but his steps staggered slightly, and he didn't know if it was because he was old or because he was in a state of confusion.

On the other side, Xu Yunjin and a few people also arrived at the land of Ruan's house, only to see a few men in the field loosening the soil with hoes.

Several women were digging at the weeds, while an older child was helping to fertilize them.

There were two young children, a man and a woman, sitting on the field, and they smiled when they saw Jin Yinglin.

The milk voice screamed milkily, "Brother Yinglin."

This scene is exactly the same as Xu Yunjin's life when they were in Nanyun Village, Jin Yinglin touched the heads of the two dolls, stood on the edge of the field and shouted:

"Grandpa Ruan, someone came to the barracks, saying that there was news of Uncle Shou."

As soon as he finished speaking, the six people in the field all raised their heads, and the little boy who was fertilizing was still a little unclear about the situation, and saw several elders in the family running to the edge of the field quickly.

"Boy Lin, is it really someone from the barracks?"

The eldest woman was still out of breath when she ran over, and as soon as she approached, she tugged at his clothes.

Although he was asking Jin Yinglin what he was saying, his eyes were always staring at Xu Yunjin and his party.

The anticipation in his eyes made several people look at it, and the sadness in their hearts surged up, and there seemed to be something in their eyes that wanted to run out.

"Grandma Ruan, don't get excited, it's really a military camp."

Jin Yinglin knew that Mrs. Ruan was worried about her young son, and although she was young, she still soothed her emotions like a little adult.

"Okay, okay, it should be that the third son of our family brought me a letter again, this child is homesick."

Mrs. Ruan thought that her son had really paid someone to bring the letter home again, with a smile in her eyes, but she pretended to be unhappy, and she was as hard-mouthed and soft-hearted as most mothers in the world.

"Grandma Ruan, this is the message that this girl said to help Uncle Shou, and I still have something to give you."

Jin Yinglin also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he probably guessed that the Uncle Deshou who he had only met several years ago should be gone.
