After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 71 Unusual Master and Servant

"Do you recognize me, old lady?"

The other person smiled and said, "Madam, you are joking. How can I recognize a country woman like me?"

Ke Yiqing was puzzled. She always felt that the look in her eyes between the master and the servant, especially the master, was very meaningful.

Judging from how they were dressed, they were probably from well-to-do families. She was not particular about dressing up, but she also knew that ordinary people couldn't wear such fine Luo Qi.

Although the brocade is dull in color, the embroidery is very fine and has a soft luster in the night.

This old woman was also very unusual. She was not afraid at all when she saw the fierce-looking man guarding her outside.

Yan Ming had been fighting with those masked men in black, and the noise was quite high. She didn't believe that these two people didn't know about it.

Even though he knew there was danger, he was not afraid, and he could still recite Buddhist sutras here leisurely.

Is it because they know the danger will not harm them, or is it because they have something to rely on?Or, both?
Although full of doubts, it was just something that was on my mind for a moment.

Ke Yiqing also said kindly, "I have some food over there. Does the old lady need some?"

It was the old lady who replied, "Thank you madam for your kindness, but my master is fasting all year round, so I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy it."

"This place has been in decline for a long time, and I haven't heard of any famous gods. Why does the old woman still kneel down and worship?"

The old woman opened her eyes and said, "I pay homage to gods and Buddhas a lot, but where there are many people, there is a lot of right and wrong, and there is also a lot of utility. Pray to God regardless of these things, and be sincere and spiritual."

Ke Yiqing looked at the cobweb-covered statue. These words were like an enlightenment, giving her a sudden sense of enlightenment, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

There have been many ups and downs in her two lives. If God hadn't shown mercy and given her a chance to start over, her innocent soul would still have nowhere to turn to.

The old lady glanced at the people around her, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She didn't expect that Yan Ming's friend was actually a very spiritual person.

"Today can be regarded as a meeting of friends because of Buddha. You can continue. I am getting old and need to rest first."

Ke Yiqing clasped his hands together and watched the people leave.

Early the next morning, the weather was gloomy, and Yan Ming hadn't come back yet. The remaining dead attendants didn't say much, but secretly prepared everything for them.

After what happened last night, she was no longer anxious, and instead started talking about Buddhism with the old woman.

In her previous life, when she was the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she had also dabbled in Buddhism, and her conversation with this old woman was quite smooth.

"Among the younger generation, you are the only one who can talk to me like this."

"Old lady, you are very blessed. The younger generation must be busy managing the family business."

The other party shook his head, "My family has a big business. The younger generation manages a lot of wealth and has many fruits. If I don't eat fast and chant Buddha's name, I'm afraid there will be retribution in this world."

Ke Yiqing was a little surprised. This old woman seemed to be about the same age as the old lady. The old lady had always kept secrets about the retribution of ghosts and gods, but this old lady didn't shy away from it at all?

After noon, Yan Ming still didn't come back. These people seemed to have rusty brains and never mentioned sending her down the mountain.

Why is that?
The old woman was very calm about the master and servant, and even invited her to eat vegetarian food together many times.

It had been a long time since I had eaten rice and noodles, and the light vegetarian meal made Ke Yiqing sigh: During the famine years, having enough food to eat is a good thing in the world.

But in a place like this, they still have no shortage of food and clothing. It's really weird. They are definitely not ordinary.

Concerned about the wood on the mountain but unable to go out, Ke Yiqing could only entrust the original Eleven. There was no way, with so many deadliest servants, only the young Eleven was willing to speak.

"I have timber on the mountain. Something happened on the way back. I don't know what they did with the timber."

Eleven looked serious: "What does Madam want me to do?"

"You go there and find a man named Li Chang and ask him to build the shed faster. It's best to finish it in the next two days."

He nodded and disappeared into the forest in a few seconds, but came back extremely late.Yan Ming was not anxious at all, but this little eleven made her very worried. She just stuck her head out and looked around dozens of times.

Finally, when it was getting dark, Eleven came back with a dirty face.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you back so late?"

Eleven, who had never been so concerned about by anyone, was a little dumbfounded. "Go back to Madam, I found it. The man said he was short of manpower, so he pulled me there to build a shed all afternoon."

Ke Yiqing was a little embarrassed, especially when the five potatoes in Eleven's hand were handed to her. This embarrassment and helplessness reached its peak.

Li Chang really makes the best use of everything!
"When did he say it could be built?"

"More than half of it was built today, and there is still some wood left. He said he would continue building it tomorrow."

She nodded and asked someone to go back with the potatoes to rest.

At night, the sky began to become gloomy, unlike a clear night. Ke Yiqing looked at the night with a sense of uneasiness.

At first, some small raindrops fell sporadically and fell on the roof. Later in the night, it started to rain heavily. Because she was worried about the wood, she didn't sleep well that night, so she simply got up and stared at the rain in a daze.

Where is Yan Ming and what is he doing?Why haven't you come back yet?Who are the masters and servants in Poguan?Why do these deadpools respect them so much?

There are many questions buried in my heart, none of which have answers.

In her sorrow, she seemed to see a group of people coming down the mountain. Out of caution, she quickly asked the Deadpool on duty to wake up the others.

"Look, is there a group of people coming down below?"

"There is indeed someone. Maybe they went up the mountain to take shelter from the rain. Madam, don't worry."

Even so, their hearts still sank when they saw that the other party had a population of one hundred and ten, while Yan Ming only left a dozen deadliest servants.

Especially when Ke Yiqing saw the face of one of the leaders clearly, her scalp suddenly exploded, "These people are coming in a menacing way, you must be careful when dealing with them."

"Ma'am, do you recognize them?"

"I've encountered them eating people before."

Even the dead waiters who had seen the big scene were also horrified. They immediately drew their swords and stood ready.

Ke Yiqing also hurriedly hid in the house, but it was too late. The leading man's eyes were so bright that he saw her with just one glance.

The man laughed lewdly and shouted to the people behind him: "Today is a good rain from God! There is a beautiful girl inside, and I can kill and cook her after the brothers are done having fun!"

Good guy, rape first and then kill!

She was hiding inside and her liver and gallbladder were broken. These desperadoes had no idea how many people fell into their hands.

I thought they would be a little wary after seeing dozens of knife-wielding deadpools, but unexpectedly, these people were even more excited and threatened to find a lot of treasures. As long as they killed someone, they would not only have meat to eat, but also knives!

"There is a knife!" They looked fiercely.

Even though he is Deadpool, he also finds it difficult.

"Madam, run away first. We can resist for a while. There are many of them. If a few of them rush in, it will be bad!"

Knowing that the situation was urgent, Ke Yiqing had no time to answer, so he could only nod at them and ran to the temple, taking the master and servant together to escape.

This place is not far from where Li Chang builds timber. Eleven told her that it takes about half an hour to go back and forth.

Their footwork is naturally not as good as that of trained deadpools like Eleven, but their efforts to escape not only make the deadpools fearless, but they may also be able to run down to find reinforcements for them.
