It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 491

"Are you really passing by?" the old man asked tremblingly.

"That's natural." Mu Liuyun smiled kindly and nodded to him, "The three of us, brothers and sisters, brought a few servants at home, and we were going to visit relatives and friends in other places. We passed by here, and the sun was scorching hot. I am so thirsty that I want to ask the old man for some water."

When she spoke, she deliberately imitated the accent of Fatty Kong, the magistrate of Taiping County. Thanks to the past when she was a manager in Jiangzhou Prefecture and joined the army, she always went to Fatty Kong when she had nothing to do, and was entrusted by him to help him with errands. The local accent that has not been changed can also be learned vividly.

Sure enough, the white-haired old man didn't detect any flaws. When he heard that her accent was indeed not from the local area, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the fence and opened the door, calling them into the yard.

"If you come to me to ask for something to eat, then I really can't make it out for you for a while, but drinking water will definitely be enough. There happens to be a well in the yard of my house!" The old man said while limping Go to the well to help them fetch water.

Mu Liuyun hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Old man, go and sit aside! If you don't think we're out of sight, the bucket is by the well, and we can carry water to drink by ourselves!"

The old man is indeed very old. When he heard that they fetched water by themselves and did not need his help to do this physical work, he readily agreed, and then moved to one side and sat there watching them busy carrying water. drink.

Although Mu Liuyun is also a girl herself, she has been used to being a man for so many years, and she is no exception even if she is the little apprentice Shen Yu who can beat herself to the ground with one hand, so the first bucket of water Bringing it up, Yuan Mu scooped up a bowl for her, and she took it and handed it to Shen Yu first.

Although they said that they wanted to talk to a villager on the grounds of begging for water, but after walking for so long, it was true that they were thirsty. He drank half a bowl in one go.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu scooped up another bowl and handed it over, and Mu Liuyun also quenched his thirst after taking it.

The old man watched from the side, and after seeing this scene, he sighed and said to Yuan Mu, "Are you the elder brother of the two of them?"

Yuan Mu nodded, since Mu Liuyun just said that they are three brothers and sisters, then of course he has to go along with the flow.

"Then you rest here with me, so go away!" The old man sighed and looked at Shen Yu, "The sooner you get out of here, the better, don't wander around here, dawdle, you guys Remember it!
And your little sister, don't be so ostentatious, if you have extra men's clothes, put them on for her, it would be even better if you can wear a hat to cover your face! "

The white-haired old man urged them to leave quickly, and asked Shen Yu to change into men's clothes and cover his head. Mu Liuyun could hear his intentions, but he still had to pretend to be puzzled: "Old man, Why does my sister wear men's clothing? What does this mean?"

"Hey, you guys are passing by from other places, so you don't know what's going on here!" The white-haired old man probably couldn't bear to see them encounter accidents. Although he looked nervous, he still kept his eyes on the movement outside the yard. , while lowering his voice, said to them, "Our side is troublesome. The river outside said that there is some kind of water monster or river monster, which will make people sick. There are still several wells in our village, wells for no reason. The water turned into bloody water!
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to let you come in to drink water in my yard. I just thought, you guys are from other places and don't know what's going on here. Not too pathetic!

There is a lot of trouble in this area, some people don't know where to find some kind of great mage, saying that they want to use boys and girls to sacrifice to the Dragon King. Girls go to sacrifice!

So you come all the way, think about it, have you ever seen anyone?Have you ever seen a big girl, a little daughter-in-law, or a child walking around casually outside? "

Mu Liuyun shook his head: "It's true that I haven't seen it before!"

"Then it's over!" The old man sighed heavily, "It's at this critical moment, who dares to let his own women and children walk outside in public, risking being caught and sacrificed to the Dragon King!

Let me tell you, those people are already crazy, red-eyed!But don't be caught by the local virgins, boys and girls. If you meet a group of you from other places, then this is not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!
So you listen to my advice, drink water to quench your thirst and go as fast as you can, don't delay! "

"This..." Mu Liuyun looked distressed, and looked at the old man, "Old man, we were exhausted from our journey, and originally wanted to find a place to stay in this area and rest our feet! Now people have quenched their thirst, but Ma We are still hungry and tired, even if we want to go, we can't go fast! What should we do!
I don't know if there is a place here, if we can stay for one night, we will leave after a rest, and we will never stay! "

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly waved his hands: "In our small village, no one from an ordinary family would dare to keep you at this moment! I am the only old man alone, and my son and daughter-in-law have already run away with my grandchildren. So don’t be afraid of anything, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t even have the courage to ask you to stay for a drink, let alone stay overnight!
Besides, you have so many people and horses, my small yard is so small, even if I dare to keep you here, I don't have so many rooms for you!I really can't help you with this job!You better rest and go! "

"That's what to do... We are really tired today. Even if we push on, the horse can't move, and we have nothing to do. If we end up in a place where there is no village in the front and no shop in the back, isn't it? Is it worse?

How about this, old man, can you show us the way, is there any house or inn nearby where we can stay?We came from the county seat, and the county seat was also closed. Even the inn refused to let us stay. We really had no choice! "

The old man was also very worried, and thought for a while: "I don't have an idea...how about you ask Lizheng in our village? See if he can help you with an idea. After all, his house is also big. There are also many houses, even if you stay overnight, there is always more money in his place than mine!"

"Success! Then listen to the old man's arrangement! Please tell us, which direction is Li Zheng's house?" Mu Liuyun nodded and asked.
