Chapter 95 Encounter
"Hello, guest! Four herringbone rooms!"

The waiter responded and welcomed them to the innkeeper to settle the bill for their stay.

The innkeeper was quite calm. He was used to seeing all kinds of guests. When he saw that there were many dirty, haggard-looking people in this group of people, he didn't show any weird expressions.

The innkeeper put his hand on the abacus, tapped the abacus crisply, calculated the room fee, and then placed the four keys hanging on the wall on the table.

The herringbone room is the lowest-grade room in the inn. It is in the backyard, so noise is inevitable, but everything else is okay.

They received the key and were about to walk into the room when they suddenly heard a surprise call from behind.

"Brother!? Sister-in-law!"

Mu Yunchao was holding a pack of hot steamed buns in his hand, his eyes were shining brightly, he didn't expect to meet them here.

After jumping off the ship, they separated from their eldest brother and finally swam to the shore and arrived in this small county town.

Sure enough, it was just as my grandmother said. If you wait in this bustling area, you might be able to meet the big brother and the others who came here.

Mu Yunchao hurriedly came forward and was very happy to see this large group of people.

Seeing him unexpectedly, Mu Yunxiao's expression showed a bit of joy. He looked at him and asked, "You live in this inn? Where is grandma?"

Judging from Mu Yunchao's relatively clean and tidy clothes and normal expression, they, a group of old, young, women and children, were living much better than others.

Seeing his relatives, Mu Yunchao happily greeted them and raised the big warm steamed bun in his hand: "Grandma and the others are staying in the inn room! Brother and sister-in-law, let me come over and take a look."

Naturally, Li Jiang and the others would not hinder the family reunion, and a group of people were planning to go to the room to rest first.

Just when Ruan He and the others were still immersed in the joy of reunion, a very disturbing cry suddenly came from behind.

"Mu Yunchao, give me the steamed bun in your hand! I'm starving to death!"

Mu Zhengbai kept his eyes fixed on the steaming steamed buns in Mu Yunchao's hand. He swallowed with greed, stared at it eagerly for a long time, and then suddenly pounced on it.

Mu Yunchao was not paying attention and was startled. He quickly shook his hand and quickly raised the bun in his hand to another place. He frowned and said unhappily: "No! This is for grandma!" "

He had long since lost any love for his father since he was exiled, and only the little blood connection he had left kept him from falling out.

Now seeing him coming over to snatch my grandmother's food regardless, I suddenly became unhappy.

Mu Zhengbai jumped in the air and almost fell face down to the ground. He didn't expect that this little son with no hair would dare to disobey him. He was so angry that he glared angrily and cursed several times. , still unwilling to give up.

"Give it to me! I'm going to starve to death!"

"No! This is for grandma."

Mu Yunchao's young man's face was also tense, and he shook his head repeatedly. It was impossible to hand over the food in his hand.

"You don't even care about your life or death! You little beast!"

Mu Zhengbai's face turned livid with anger, and he raised his hand to slap him!

Before Mu Zhengbai could make a move, Wang Xiaoer, who could not see clearly from behind, came over, stared at him with a sullen face, and warned him.

"Hey! Be honest! This is not your place to show off."

While speaking, Wang Xiaoer also patted the short knife hanging on his waist. The crisp collision sound was heard, which had a very frightening effect.Wang Xiaoer is very good at dealing with scoundrels like Mu Zhengbai. He can immediately turn into a coward with just a few words of scare.

"Cha... Cha, I have something to say. Am I hungry?"

Wang Xiaoer made a few threats in the air and gave Ruan He a reassuring look, which made Mu Zhengbai unable to interrupt their family reunion and busy saying good things to Wang Xiaoer.

Mu Zhengbai watched helplessly as Mu Yunchao and the others walked towards the backyard. He was about to chase after them, but Li Jiangti slipped past them again.

"If you want to fill your stomach, come with me."

They didn't have much money left in their hands, and all the public money for official missions was with Lao Jiu. If they wanted to support such a large family, they had to find some way to earn some money.

Li Jiang watched Mu Zhengbai's clown behavior in silence, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

They happened to have Mu Zhengbai here who could be used to make money, and it kept him from making troubles, so why not do it.

With this in mind, Li Jiang ordered the officials at the gap to keep an eye on the prisoner, and then took Wang Xiaoer and Mu Zhengbai out to perform.

Mu Zhengbai couldn't help but show off his face at first, but with a few threats from Wang Xiaoer and Li Jiang's cold words, "If you don't work hard, you'll be hungry," he immediately agreed.

……

Ruan He and the other two were led by Mu Yunchao to a room in a corner of the backyard.

You get what you pay for. As the lowest-priced herringbone room, the room was filled with a damp smell. Fortunately, they had gotten used to it on the ship, so it was okay.

Ruan He keenly noticed the lingering sadness on the young man Mu Yunchao's face, and his brows furrowed from time to time as if he was hesitant to speak.

When they met Mu Yunchao just now, he was also frowning, but he only showed a look of surprise when he saw them.

She vaguely noticed something, and before she reached the room, she asked softly and tentatively: "Is grandma okay?"

Mu Yunchao sighed, shook his head slightly, and said, "Grandma is fine, it's just..."

As he spoke, he had already reached the door of the room and pushed open the old wooden door with a creak.

"Grandma, aunt, I'm back."

Mu Yunchao said skillfully, put the warm steamed buns on the table, and looked towards the bed.

Aunt Zong was standing by the bed with a sad expression on her face, looking at the grandfather and grandson who were sleeping on the bed.

When she heard Mu Yunchao's voice, she just responded softly. She seemed to be very restless, and her already thin face turned even pale.

It wasn't until she heard two unusual footsteps that Aunt Zong looked up.

When she saw this, she was stunned, and then she showed a little joy and called out: "Young Master, Young Mistress!"

"What's wrong with grandma and Yuanyuan?" Ruan He nodded, and the two of them walked quickly to the bed and asked.

She noticed that the grandfather and grandson were sleeping on the bed, their eyebrows were furrowed and they looked very uneasy.

In particular, Mu Yuanyuan's forehead was covered with a hot towel, making her face look particularly haggard.
