XLIV. Only one can be chosen.

Yue Rong and Yun Yan glanced at each other, human traffickers were really rampant here.

The two children ran back to their mother, but they were still staring at them curiously with two pairs of round eyes.

Zhu Xingmian took a step forward and smiled, "Auntie, we came out of Qingyun Town, we haven't eaten for a few days, and we want to spend a day in the village and get some food by the way." ”

"We're willing to pay two dollars in return."

Zhu Xingmian was already gentle and amiable, and the villagers saw that she spoke softly and was willing to pay, and she didn't look like a bad person, and the hostility in her eyes dissipated.

"Are you really willing to pay twice?" The mother, who was protecting the child, asked with eager and cautious eyes.

They peasants work in the fields all day long, and they rely on God to eat, and even if the weather is good and there are all kinds of taxes, they can't save the same amount of money all year round.

"Seriously." Zhu Xingmian took out two pieces of money from his money bag and shook it, saying, "I'll pay it first, and I'll pay it when we leave." ”

Zhu Xingmian and the eldest lady are talking to each other, and people are getting together more and more.

When everyone heard that as long as they took in the three of them for a day and took care of the meal, they would be able to make two kinds of money, and they instantly scrambled for it.

"Come to my house! My kang keeps you sleeping comfortably. ”

"Come to my house! Come to my house! ”

"Your house is so sloppy, and you're embarrassed to let others go? Come to my house, my house is clean. ”

Zhu Xingmian looked at the eldest lady at the beginning and asked, "Auntie, how are your cooking skills?" ”

The eldest lady thought that with the pungent appearance she had just treated them, she would definitely not be able to make this money.

Who would have thought that this gentle and gentle, fairy-like girl would take the initiative to ask her.

Her eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "My cooking skills are unique in the village, and whoever has done things to set up wine, they all ask me to do it." ”

Zhu Xingmian heard this, smiled gently, and stuffed the usual money into the eldest mother's hand, "Then bother the eldest lady to cook a meal for us." ”

The eldest lady pinched the money in her hand, stuffed it into her pocket neatly, and her face was smiling.

"Three noble men, follow me. My house is very close to here. ”

Seeing that Zhu Xingmian had made a choice, the onlookers shook their heads and sighed one by one.

"It's still Aunt Ge, you're lucky!"

"Do the three nobles have any taboos?" Aunt Ge was holding a child in one hand, and she didn't care about the work in the field, "Is there anything you want to eat?" ”

Zhu Xingmian pushed Yuerong and said, "Auntie, just ask her." ”

The eldest lady's kind gaze turned to Yue Rong.

Yuerong: "I have a strong taste and like spicy food. Ingredients, I want to eat chicken and fish. ”

"Good Rat, no problem." Aunt Ge responded sharply.

There is a lot of water here, fish is not a precious thing, as for chickens, every household has them, Aunt Ge has raised more than a dozen of them, and she will go back to catch one.

The three of them followed Aunt Ge home, and there was an old mother at home, and the man was working in the fields.

"Mother, I'm back."

The gray-haired old woman looked at the sudden stranger and asked Aunt Ge, "Who is here?" ”

Aunt Ge pulled the old woman to explain the identities of the three of them.

Although Aunt Ge deliberately avoided them, the three of them were all monks, and they were deaf and clear-sighted, so they listened to what Aunt Ge said word for word.

"Hey, hey, two money?! Oh my God, that's the living God of Wealth. ”

"But if you want to be entertained, don't slack off."

"It's good to say that it's not good, and we'll give us a reward when we leave."

"Alright, you go cook, I'll entertain them."

The old woman drove away Aunt Ge and invited the three of them into the house and sat down with a smile on her face.

"The nobles sit down first, and I'll pour water for everyone."

The two children looked at them curiously behind the door, and Yue Rong smiled and waved at them, beckoning them to come over.

The two children looked back, as if they were observing Aunt Ge's movements, and after seeing that Aunt Ge was busy and had no time to take care of them, the little short legs jumped forward and shouted, "Sister Chivalry." ”

Yue Rong couldn't help pinching their cute little faces, and took out two candies from her pocket, "No, please eat candy." ”

Yue Rong had a lesson from the last time, and the candy she took out this time was just ordinary and delicious sugar, without a trace of aura.

The two children took it happily, and the older one didn't forget to say, "Thank you, Sister Chivalry." ”

Yue Rong looked at their black and white eyes, which were as black as a sparkling grape, and the human cubs were really strange and cute.

The old woman soon came back and poured three cups of tea for the three of them, and the three cups were so clean and transparent that they had been carefully scrubbed many times.

After the old woman finished pouring water, she sat down and chatted with them, "Where are you from?" “

"We're from Qingyun Town."

"Qingyun Town, that's a good place."

Zhu Xingmian saw that the old woman was a talkative person, and asked by the trend, "Old woman, do you know Nanling Town?" ”

"Nanling Town?!" The old woman's hand shook when she drank water, "What are you asking for?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and it could be seen from the old woman's attitude that there was really something wrong with this Nanling Town.

Zhu Xingmian: "We're going to Yuliu, I look at the map, and the next place is Nanling Town, so I want to ask how far it is." ”

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go to Yuliu, I advise you to change your route and don't pass through Nanling Town." ”

"Why? Is there anything wrong with Southridge? ”

The old woman just shook her head, "That place is very evil, if you have to pass by, don't stay longer, leave quickly." ”

"Why?"

Zhu Xingmian wanted to ask again, but the old woman didn't want to say anything.

Yue Rong took Zhu Xingmian's hand and whispered, "Forget it, don't embarrass them." When we get to Southridge tomorrow, we'll know what's so strange about it. ”

Zhu Xingmian nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more.

During this period, Aunt Ge's two children quietly came over to pull Yuerong's hand, "Sister Chivalry, you come with me." I'll show you. ”

"See what?"

The two children just pulled her and said, "Sister Chivalry, you'll know when you come with us." ”

Laughing and laughing, Yue Rong followed the footsteps of the two children, and they led her to the small courtyard in front of the door, pointing to the pattern made of flower petals on the ground.

"Sister Chivalry, this is the painting we gave you."

"Wow, huh? It's so beautiful. Yue Rong rubbed their heads, "Thank you." ”

The little girl dragged Yuerong's arm, leaned on her, and asked, "Sister Chivalry, who do you think the two of us have a good drawing?" ”

Yue Rong propped her chin and said, "I think it's all good-looking." ”

"No, no." The little girl shook her head, "You can only choose one." ”

"Yes, you can only choose one." The little boy also took Yue Rong's hand and leaned on her, "Sister Chivalrous thinks she is good-looking, or is mine good-looking?" ”

She looked at the pattern drawn by the little boy, then at the pattern of the little girl, and finally pointed to the little girl and said, "I think this is better." ”
