Chapter 81 Sleepover
Hearing Chad's unambiguous compliment, Ruan He was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Mu Yunxiao aside.

Mu Yunxiao suppressed the smile on his lips, looked at her, and said nothing more, but there was a lingering smile in his dark eyes.

The aunt is right. His wife is really good-looking and has a nice voice.

Ruan He coughed slightly uncomfortably and continued to bring their conversation back to the previous topic.

"Thank you, ma'am... where is the inn? Can you tell us?"

When facing the elders, her clear voice deliberately softened, and it was indeed as beautiful as falling beads.

Mu Yunxiao raised his eyes and stared at his wife silently, his eyes motionless.

A few ladies nearby also came over and looked at the two of them curiously. They also saw that this was not a "golden boy" sent by God, but a pair of noble people passing by.

An aunt smiled cheerfully and enthusiastically answered for Aunt Li: "Child, our village is called Qingshui Village. Hundreds of households nearby rely on the Qingshui River to make a living. They can't find an inn! You really want to find an inn? We have to go to the city, it takes about ten hours to walk west from here, it’s a long way!”

"Thank you ma'am."

After hearing this, Ruan He looked at Mu Yunxiao aside with a slight frown, pushed him, and deliberately asked him what he thought.

They had been wandering on the water for a whole day. They were already hungry and had a rough rest. Now they urgently needed an inn to take a rest.

Moreover, it was already evening and it was getting late. They might as well find someone to stay overnight in Qingshui Village.

Mu Yunxiao took a step forward, looked at the ladies, straightened his expression, and asked politely.

"Auntie, my wife and I were shipwrecked on the water. We wandered all day just to get here. Now we are hungry. Can we stay overnight in your village and buy something to eat?"

When Aunt Li heard this, a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said cheerfully: "Children! It's getting dark. You've been hungry for so long. Go home with Auntie. Let’s get some hot food to fill our stomachs! My aunt’s family is poor, so I’ll make room for you to sleep for one night!”

Aunt Li's words undoubtedly solved their urgent needs.

Ruan He did not agree immediately. She looked hesitant and asked worriedly.

"Auntie, we are outsiders, will it be inconvenient and disturb your family?"

"No need to disturb me. It must be a blessing for our family to be able to accommodate two noble people for one night!"

Aunt Li's kind and enthusiastic eyes were not mixed with any pretense. Unable to bear her enthusiasm, Ruan He and the two agreed readily.

"Auntie, then my wife and I will cause trouble."

Aunt Li chatted with them lively along the way and gave a clear introduction to the overall situation of Qingshui Village.

The Qingshui River next to Qingshui Village is a treasure. The water source is clear and the fish in the river can be caught in large quantities.

The soil irrigated by the Qingshui River is also very fertile. Although this place is remote, the villagers can basically live a good and prosperous life.

Aunt Li's home was at the entrance of the village. They had just walked for a while, and they could see a stone house standing there in the distance.

"arrive!"

Aunt Li shouted enthusiastically, pushed inside, pushed the door open, and shouted towards the inside of the room.

"Old Li! We have a guest!"

Ruan He and the two walked straight into the house under the warm greeting of the aunt.The space in this room is not large, but it is clean and tidy. There are not many clutter in the room, and they are all neatly placed in the corners.

Before they walked in, they looked at a small stove covered with several stone tiles outside, which should be a place for cooking.

A small stone platform was set up next to the stove, with a large bundle of fresh vegetables placed on it and two live fish in the basin.

It can be seen that this family must be living a good life indeed.

After Aunt Li led them into the house, she hurriedly walked into the back room, wondering what was going on.

Following Aunt Li's call, Old Man Li, who was sleeping in the room, also quickly walked out.

Old Man Li was also getting older. When he saw two such standard people suddenly appearing in the room, he let out the same ouch and rubbed his dim eyes. He thought it was because his eyes were dim and his mind was confused!
"You guys..." Old Man Li rubbed his eyes back and forth several times, and his brain, which had been dazed by sleep, woke up. He saw that the two "immortal"-looking people in front of him were still stuck there.

Mu Yunxiao repeated the same rhetoric to the kind-faced and stunned old man.

"Auntie is kind-hearted and agrees to let us stay here for a night. I wonder if it will disturb you?"

Old Man Li waved his hands happily, with a smile on his face. He didn't mean to object at all, and he said "ok!" several times!
"Why are you disturbing us? We live in this little shabby place wherever you want! If anything happens, call the uncle and aunt for help! Children."

While Old Man Li was talking, Aunt Li in the back room hurried over again with a small bundle in her hand.

"Honey! Why are you still standing? The two children have suffered a lot. They have been floating on the water all night. Can you let me sit down and have a rest?"

Aunt Li muttered in detail and opened the bag she brought over. Inside were two pieces of old clothes, one for a man and one for a woman.

"Mom, I see that your clothes are all wet and you feel uncomfortable wearing them. These two coats belong to my son and daughter-in-law. If you don't mind, you can change them first. It's better than wearing wet clothes."

After putting on the old clothes that Aunt Li had found, Aunt Li couldn't help but smile as she looked at these two people, happily dragging them to sit down.

"Lao Li, you stay with the two children and talk while I go outside to cook something hot."

Perhaps because she was born in a rural area, Aunt Li didn't look like she was over fifty years old at all. She made clear arrangements in her mouth and walked outside with a vigorous pace.

She happily planned to make soup from the fish outside and stir-fry two side dishes so that the two children could have a full meal.

After all, he was staying at someone else's house. How could Ruan He have the nerve to let his aunt work outside alone.

She walked out of the door and wanted to go over to help, but was pushed back by the aunt with enthusiasm.

"My child, just rest. Madam is so quick! How can I ask the guests to help cook! Isn't this a joke to the people in the village!"

Ruan He was usually very sharp-tongued, but he couldn't convince his aunt, so he reluctantly went back to the house and sat idle.

"Child, our Qingshui Village is a bit poor, but we don't lack anything. If you stay here a few more days, everyone should be happy."

Naturally, Ruan He and the others couldn't stay for a few more days. The most they could do was stay here tonight.

After all, the grandmother and others are still living outside and don't know what happened.

Mu Yunxiao didn't say anything, but he must be worried in his heart.
