Li Yi smiled and nodded towards Xu Miaomiao, and Dabao on the side didn't refuse, but put his arms around his chest, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

Xu Miaomiao also smiled at the two of them, and prepared to leave together.

The carriage was packed. Although I had heard of Mi Village before, Xu Miaomiao had never actually been there, and I didn't know how long it would take to go there this time. Xu Miaomiao packed up everything and brought some food.

Li Yi still had the dog's tail in his mouth, and he was driving the carriage outside lazily. Dabao was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed.

Compared with the poverty of this Wangjia Village, Mi Village is probably just better. Another reason why Xu Miaomiao has never been to Mi Village is that the land here is not good, and the food is also very scarce. Can choose other methods, most of them go outside, and there are still very few people who stay in this small place.

"Master, we are here!"

Li Yi outside suddenly heard a voice, but he didn't say anything for the next second, as if he was frightened by something, Xu Miaomiao opened the curtain, and was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

There is yellow sand all over the sky in front of me, and the plaque at the entrance of the village has already stopped talking. There is no one on the road at all, but there is an old man who is packing something in a courtyard. Not lightly, but he still didn't stop his pace of packing things up. He could only take small steps, walking back and forth in the courtyard repeatedly.

When Xu Miaomiao got out of the carriage, it was just an ordinary carriage without any decoration, but compared to the desolation of this village, it seemed many times more luxurious.

Xu Miaomiao walked inside, Dabao was carrying a sword on his back, and Li Yi also had a pair of swords behind him, following behind Xu Miaomiao.

Seeing the old man, Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and asked, "This old man, have you heard of Bai Qi?"

Seeing that the old man ignored Xu Miaomiao, Li Yi immediately stepped forward and looked at the old man and said, "Old man, have you heard of the name Bai Qi? "

At this time, the old gentleman was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head slowly, his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Miaomiao: "It's you, that kind lady."

Xu Miaomiao also recognized the old man on the opposite side and saluted him. Dabao and Li Yi behind him also followed Xu Miaomiao's movements and saluted the old gentleman.

They just met yesterday, this old gentleman was the one who was fishing on the river before, Xu Miaomiao bought all his fish at that time, it is unexpected that there is such a predestined relationship.

Seeing it was Xu Miaomiao, the old man warmly invited them into the house together.

As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered, he could see the whole picture of the room clearly. There was only one bed, no tables and chairs, and even a few wooden dunks for them to sit on. Looking at Xu Miaomiao, the old man said slowly: "My place is relatively simple, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me, my lady and the two young men."

Xu Miaomiao smiled, and Li Yi on the side immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's enough to have a sip of hot tea."

Hearing Li Yi's words, the old man's hands that were pouring water stopped, and the water in it was poured out without the slightest enthusiasm: "Forgive me, my husband, I really can't afford dry firewood, so I can only make ends meet like this."

Li Yi didn't say a word, but instead looked at the drafty room, looked at the old man and said, "Mr., how do you spend the night without dry firewood? It's so cold at night, isn't it cold?"

"Haha."

The old man laughed twice, looked at Li Yi and then said slowly: "So what about the cold, you still have to live, as long as you wear more at night."

Li Yi remained silent for a while, and Xu Miaomiao on the side said, "Does the old gentleman know Bai Qi in this village?"

"You said Mr. Bai, of course he knows."

The old man took a sip of the water in front of him, and said to Xu Miaomiao as if he suddenly had endless words to say when he mentioned them: "When Mr. Bai's parents were still there, their family was okay. They are scholars. In our village, there are mostly children and old people. The young ones have gone out to make money. Their family helps us write letters to make money. Life is difficult, but they can survive. It’s just a pity that the plague a few years ago , his parents have left, and he is the only one left. I heard that he is interested in the young lady of old man Li's family, but there are so many sons in old man Li's family. He has no money, so naturally he has no chance. He, it's just this month, I haven't seen him, I guess he went out to seek a living."

After listening to the old man's words, Xu Miaomiao began to think deeply again. Given how much Lian Zhi cared about that Yun Qi, he wouldn't just leave like this.

Xu Miaomiao inquired about the address carefully, took out a bag of silver taels from her cuff, and put it on the table: "Thank you, old man, for the water."

As soon as Xu Miaomiao went out, the old gentleman from just now caught up immediately, holding the purse in his hand and thanking Xu Miaomiao non-stop: "Thank you for your kindness, my lady."

Xu Miaomiao smiled and left with Dabao Li Yi.

She is a businessman, and she also pays attention to reason and profit. If there is no matter for Li Yi, she is not willing to do it. Now all she can help is to let the old man get through this winter safely.

After Xu Miaomiao arrived at the place as the old man said, she stopped in front of the door and did not go in for a long time.

The courtyard was in a state of depression, the snow was about to submerge the door, and there was no trace of footprints on the pure white snow, it seemed that the retreat didn't look like there were living people living inside.

Xu Miaomiao and Dabao looked at each other the same way, presumably because they wanted to go together.

Li Yi was careless, so he went straight up and knocked on the door twice, but when he saw the door open, he knocked hard, and the door collapsed.

There was a strange smell in the room. Li Yi covered his mouth and nose in disgust, and fanned the dust in front of him, before he said, "Damn, why is there such a big smell."

Xu Miaomiao and Dabao also took a step forward.

When everyone looked inside carefully, they were all taken aback. The paper was scattered all over the floor, and there was not a name written on it: Lianzhi.

In the middle of the room, the pen in the man's hand was already stiff. The man closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied.

Seeing this, Li Yi stepped forward and kicked the man, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, why doesn't someone open the door."
