Pei Yungui sighed helplessly.

Although she didn't agree with Gu Rin's approach, she still had a warm current in her heart about him still thinking about saving herself at a time of crisis, and the uncomfortable strength of the crowd squeezing her chest didn't seem to be so uncomfortable.

In all fairness, Gu Rin didn't seem to be as terrible as he had shown to him at the beginning, and they somehow got closer and closer invisibly.

The crowded crowd was still looking up at the person who jumped up in amazement, and the next moment, the person grabbed Pei Yungui's back collar accurately, and forcibly pulled her up from the pile of people.

Pei Yungui grabbed Gu Rin's arm with his strength, and his other hand tightly wrapped around his waist.

Since he was rescued, there is no reason to fall again.

Thinking of this, Pei Yungui wrapped his arms around Gu Rin's waist again, and climbed firmly on him like an octopus.

Gu Rin held Pei Yungui in one hand, scooped the woman in the other, and with the help of a wooden pier next to him, he carried light skills, and in a few blinks, he suddenly flipped to the second floor of a slightly low teahouse.

After doing this set/action, General Gu was already tired, and he collapsed on the chair with a white face and was so tired that he almost rolled his eyes.

No matter how powerful it is, it can't stand the weight of holding three people in both hands and turning from the bottom to the second floor.

Pei Yungui hurriedly closed the window, locked the door again, and stood in front of Gu Rin to fan him.

She looked at Gu Rin's tired side face with a complicated expression and sighed.

After all, there is still some guilt in my heart.

If she hadn't taken out the piece of bread without authorization, she wouldn't have lured those refugees to besiege her, and if she had thought it through, pulled the woman to a no-man's land, and then gave the other party something, she might not have caused trouble for Gu Rin.

She blamed herself a little and said, "I'm really sorry, I'll pay attention to it later."

This time it was too reckless, and the three of them were lucky not to be injured, and if the matter was a little more serious, there was no guarantee that they would be able to stand here with all their beards and tails.

When she is away from home, there are still too many things to worry about, and she still has to learn.

Gu Rin was slightly stunned, Fang took a breath, and said with a smile: "I haven't scolded you yet, why are you guilty?"

Pei Yungui knew that he was at a loss, buried his head deeply, and quietly climbed a touch of crimson on his earlobe.

"Okay," Gu Rin unconsciously stretched out his hand and looked at Pei Yungui's forehead, "Your head is on the waistband of your pants, and you haven't done anything wrong, so apologize." Saving people is out of kindness, and no matter what the result is, there is no need to feel sorry."

Pei Yungui raised his head and looked at Gu Rin with a slight stunnedness.

Gu Rin's deep voice was still hovering in her ears, but it made her feel like a dream.

This is the first time she has seen such a Gu Rin.

When will the villain be able to pop up the word "kindness" in his mouth, or say something like this...... Righteous words?

Thinking about it, Pei Yungui crossed an unbelievable emotion in his heart.

General Gu's situation, put in Tongzi's mouth, should be accused of "breaking people".

The rescued woman looked at the two people in front of her, sighed at the deep love between husband and wife, and was grateful, she didn't know what to say, as soon as the tears fell, she knelt down in front of Gu Rin and Pei Yungui.

"Today, I am really grateful for the help of the son and the girl, even if the grass is tied to the ring, it is difficult to repay this life-saving grace, if the two of them have anything to use me in the future, just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not give up."

Gu Rin leaned back in the chair and hadn't changed his strength, and Pei Yungui didn't care about any guilt, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up.

"Where is Madame, it's just a gesture, my husband and I can't watch the child die in vain, meeting is fate, and it is also our blessing to be able to save you."

The woman knew that she had lost her temper, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then, as if she remembered something, she took out a piece of mutton fat warm jade from her sleeve and stuffed it into Pei Yungui's hand.

A piece of object that was suddenly stuffed in his hand that was incompatible with the woman's clothes was stuffed, and Pei Yungui couldn't help but be stunned.

This jade pendant feels very textured, look

The color was pure, and it should not have been ordinary, but the clothes of the woman and her son were so coarse and tattered that they did not look like they possessed such precious things.

Could it be ...... Are they not ordinary people?

However, judging from the conversation of the talented woman, the other party really doesn't look like an ordinary person who came out of the mountains.

The woman followed Pei Yungui's expression and guessed her suspicions, so she explained, "Don't tell the girl that my husband's family is in charge of the family's business in Gusu, and the family is quite wealthy. It's just that a few days ago, Uchiko and I went to the Western Regions with our caravan, and we encountered homeless bandits along the way, and in the chaos, I got separated from Luo'er and the caravan, and then we ended up in You County."

"Because I didn't carry a silver tael with me, only this piece of family token, I dragged Luo'er and I to wander the streets day by day, and finally almost starved to death......

The woman's eyes darkened as she said this.

She lived all her life, but for the first time, she was on the streets, reduced to a beggar, and witnessed the desolation and darkness of the disaster.

I don't want to remember that time for the rest of my life.

But fortunately, she has the help of a good person, otherwise she and her son are afraid that they have become lonely ghosts in the underworld.

She collected her emotions and continued: "The girl can use this jade pendant to go to the Xie family in Gusu City, and hand it over to the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion, and my Xie Mansion will treat the guests in the way of the master.

Pei Yungui was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the mother and daughter that he and Gu Rin saved casually on the street would have such a big background.

Groping with the Su character engraved in the middle of the jade pendant, she thought about it and asked, "The Su family that Madam refers to, but the Gusu Xie family in the Jiangnan area?"

The woman was surprised, she didn't expect the name of the Xie clan to spread to the west of Daqi, such a remote place.

But thinking about it, the girl is still well-dressed in the northwest, and her husband is strong in martial arts, so the two of them must not be ordinary people.

How much weight is the token and promise he gave away in their eyes?

While thinking about how to repay the two of them, the woman smiled and said, "The girl is smart, isn't it the Gusu Xie clan."

Pei Yungui's eyes flashed.

That's not something that can be mentioned with the word "fairly wealthy".

Gusu Xie is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River.

The family is rich, and the wealth is still secondary, unlike other wealthy businessmen in Gusu, the Xie family is not only rich, but also a real scholarly family.

There have been three generations of prime ministers in a row from the ancestors, and there are many juniors in later generations who are officials in Beijing, but in recent years, the Xie family has deliberately reined in the edge and shifted the focus to business, no longer interfering with political affairs.

Rao is so, and it can also be called the big family of Zhong Ming Ding Food.

Now the Xie family is fully managed by the eldest son, and this lady not only holds the Xie family's head token, but her identity is self-evident.

Pei Yungui said firmly: "Presumably, Mrs. is the eldest lady of the Xie family."

The woman is in her early thirties, her son is still young, and she has the right to speak in the Xie family, either Mrs. Xie or the wife of Xie Min, the head of the Xie family.

The woman nodded and smiled, "Yes, I am indeed Wang Zhirun, the eldest lady of the Xie family."

The Gusu Wang family is also the leading famous family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Pei Yungui glanced back at Gu Rin and asked.

What to do? After saving such a glittering big man, what does the general plan to do with it?

Gu Rin was alone for a moment before recovering.

He was not in a hurry to ask Wang Zhirun for credit, nor did he shirk her gratitude, but only accepted her affection with a faint expression, and found the only inn that was still open in You County, and settled people in.

After this day's experience in You County, Gu Rin roughly figured out the situation here.

At present, the biggest problem here, in addition to the plague, is also the stomach of the common people.

Farming is deserted, commerce is collapsing, and food is already in short supply, and money is too expensive to buy.

Before they set out from the capital, they already knew the situation of food shortage

But now it seems that the reality is far more serious than imagined.

You County is densely populated, there are a number of villages around, and the two neighboring counties are also devastated by the epidemic, and there are countless people who open their mouths to make noise to eat, and the little things they bring will last for three days at most.

After three days, where will the food come from? Naturally, you can only buy from rice merchants.

And if he remembers correctly, the Xie family's business also covers rice and grain.

Gu Rin naturally would not use his identity as a life-saving benefactor to threaten the Xie family to open a warehouse and donate grain, but if he could buy grain here at a price lower than the market, it would also be a very good deal.

After settling Wang Zhirun's mother and son, Gu Rin and Pei Yungui returned to the original teahouse.

The gathered pedestrians were almost gone, but they were so sick that they couldn't walk, squatting in the corner and sighing.

The two of them entered the private room of the teahouse with their front feet, and heard a knock on the door with their back feet.

Gu Rin opened the door, and a man with a rough face and the appearance of a peasant flashed in and knelt in front of him.

The group of people who were the first to enter You County all changed their faces, and Pei Yungui couldn't recognize who it was, but it was enough to know that he was the secret stake that Gu Rin had planted in You County.

The man said in a deep voice, "My subordinates see the general."

Pei Yungui blinked.

Listen to the sound...... Could it be Eleven?

"Get up." Gu Rin took a sip of tea and said, "What did you find out when you suddenly contacted me?"

Eleven received the order to get up and lowered his voice, "After the subordinates enter You County, follow the general's instructions to potential the county order."

"There is really something wrong with the county order Yao Chen, the county order is magnificent, and even the food and clothing of the subordinates are extraordinary, not at all like the local officials in the border areas, Yao Chen must be guilty of corruption."

Eleven has been going back and forth between Youxian Street and the county government in the past few days, and has experienced what "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road", and even the voice relayed also brought some indignation.

Gu Rinfeng squinted slightly and did not speak.

He is not surprised that Yao Chen's corruption has become a fact.

Eleven specially contacted him privately this time, and must have discovered some ulterior secrets.

Gu Rin knocked his fingers on the table, quietly waiting for Eleven's next step.

Eleven paused, and seeing that Gu Rin didn't speak, he continued: "He also met with a foreign businessman who spoke Hu last night, and he had a meeting in the study in the corner of the backyard.

Pei Yungui listened, his heart was already stained with some indignation, and he interjected, "What kind of study can be guilty of laying a lot of traps outside? In addition to guarding against others, it is to make a shield for the demons in the heart."

"The people outside are starving, suffering from illness, and the life of the county order is happier than that of the Beijing officials, and the emperor is really far away, and he regards himself as the emperor here!"

Pei Yungui said that he was in love, slapped the table and stood up, the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into substance, and he wanted to cut the county order with a thousand knives.

Eleven breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the slender figure beside Gu Rin in confusion, his fingertips trembling a little.

Pei Yungui calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Don't mean it, I'm a little excited, you continue."
