After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 84
Aunt Li also handed over the bamboo basket and murmured: "Second daughter-in-law, your dish is very fresh. I will cook it for the two children to try tomorrow morning."

With Sun's second daughter-in-law making a start, when the villagers saw it, they also brought a bunch of ingredients from home, and even some fresh stewed soup was brought over directly.

When the villagers reluctantly left, the sky gradually darkened.

Aunt Li looked at the ingredients laid out in half the yard, looked at Ruan He with a smile, and said, "Children, don't leave just yet. The ingredients in my house are piled up and I can't finish them."

Ruan He chuckled helplessly and did not agree. He just said tactfully: "Auntie, we still have to look for the person. If it takes a long time, we may not be able to find the person."

Aunt Li sighed regretfully, while bending down to collect the piled ingredients, she suddenly thought about something, turned around and asked: "My child, you should tell me who you are looking for, we are the big guys from Qingshui Village. I’m very familiar with them all, maybe I can help you find them!”

Hearing the aunt's enthusiastic inquiry, Ruan He thought for a moment, looked at Mu Yunxiao on the side, and then asked tentatively: "Auntie, have you picked up anyone else by the river near here?"

Aunt Li was just thinking about shaking her head, but then she remembered something and muttered: "It seems... there is such a thing. Aunt Li just went to the next village to buy some food and saw a few people she knew chatting under the tree, and she also We went over and chatted for a while. When the old man from the Liu family in the next village was fishing by the river, he also picked up someone, but he looked like that..."

Aunt Li frowned slightly, showing a look of disgust, and then looked at the eldest daughter's beautiful features in front of her with satisfaction, and said: "That person's appearance is really ugly, and he is very different from the two of you. Ji Zhu came out If they don’t have good bamboo shoots, they probably aren’t from your family. However, they seem to have drifted over from the river.”

After hearing the last sentence, Ruan He immediately straightened his expression, looked at Auntie, and asked: "Auntie! Did you hear clearly what that person looked like and what clothes he was wearing?"

"Oh, that's right!" Aunt Li carefully recalled the few words of the chat, clapped her hands suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "Auntie, I remember, that is not an ordinary person. He is wearing the clothes of an official. I know where he is from an official. Since he is an official, I am afraid of retaliation. What's more, I heard that the man fainted directly by the water, and I couldn't bear to die without saving him, so I took Old Man Liu home with him. , gave me a bowl of gruel to eat."

In Tongzhou, where beauty is valued, bringing ugly people home will destroy your luck.

If it weren't for his conscience, Old Man Liu wouldn't do such a thing.

Official uniform? !
Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He both raised their heads, showing the same serious expressions, and then asked: "Where is Old Man Liu's home? We may know the official, but I don't know."

Aunt Li showed a look of sympathy and continued: "Oh, the official is not at Old Man Liu's house now. Old Man Liu, who was kind-hearted, helped that person and fed him a bowl of gruel. Drive them away. Even a Bodhisattva can't look past an ugly person if he stays at home!"

Aunt Li really sympathized with the Sun family, she was just afraid that the ugly person staying at home would drive away the good fortune.

After the aunt finished speaking, she thought of something else. She let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. If it were me or my wife, we wouldn't be able to do anything to save him, and our conscience won't go away."

Her down-to-earth look made Ruan He couldn't help but chuckle, and once again secretly sighed that the people here really looked at their faces!

Bringing an ugly person home seems like you have made a decision that goes against your ancestors, but being willing to take someone back under such circumstances is indeed kind and honest.

But since the one who floated up was an official, for Li Jiang's sake, they had to look for him no matter what.

Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao discussed for a while and planned to go directly to the next village to inquire about his whereabouts before the official went too far.

Besides... good-looking people attract attention here, and ugly people should also leave a deep impression on the villagers. It shouldn't be a problem to find out their whereabouts.

After thinking about it, Ruan He also carefully recalled who among the officials was really ugly.

Li Jiang had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he couldn't be called ugly. Lao Jiu had ordinary facial features at most, so he shouldn't be called ugly.

After thinking for a moment, Ruan He had a few candidates in mind.As soon as she heard that they were going to the neighboring village to look for someone at night, Aunt Li couldn't stop them. She had to tell them a few times to pay attention to their safety, and pointed them in the direction of the neighboring village.

"Then Old Man Liu lives at the entrance of the next village. His house is under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. It's easy to find. Go there early and come back early when it gets dark."

Aunt Li was afraid that they would be hungry along the way, so she stuffed two more hot pancakes before going out.

……

There is only a small mountain road that is not long between the two villages. It is not easy to walk, especially at night when it is dark and it is difficult to see clearly.

Ruan He and the others had eaten and drank enough, and they were walking very fast, especially when they were in a hurry to find someone, they didn't rest at all.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the next village.

Lanterns were hung at the end of the village, and I could finally see clearly.

Ruan He raised his eyes and looked over, easily finding the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Under the old locust tree, there is a brick house with a faint light coming from inside.

The two looked at each other, and when Mu Yunxiao was about to walk over, Ruan He had already walked to the door and knocked lightly.

"My appearance is kinder than yours." Ruan He chuckled, lowered his voice, and joked lightly.

She wasn't making this up, you could tell from the reactions of the villagers.

No one in the room seemed to have fallen asleep. Just after knocking twice, there was a response from inside.

A woman came over and opened the door. Chad looked up and looked at it under the light, and was stunned.

She also didn't expect that two such good-looking people would come to their door so late at night.

"You..." The woman was stunned for a moment, then stammered.

Something like this happened late at night...

This is a great blessing!

Ruan He considered it for a moment, called out a title that would not go wrong, and asked in a gentle voice: "Auntie, we have something to ask. Is it okay for your family to bother you late at night?"

"Convenient! It must be convenient! Our whole family is still talking about it!"

The woman showed a sincere smile and quickly welcomed the two of them into the house cheerfully.
