Chapter 12 Spy on Xiaohe Village

Although he said he wanted Gu Wuan to go down the mountain alone to complete the task, but He Lanyi was worried after all, and after Gu Wuan went down the mountain with his luggage on his back, he followed him down the mountain.

It's just that she went away with the sword, and her speed was much faster than Gu Wu'an who was walking on two legs.

Xiaohe Village is located in a valley, surrounded by undulating mountains on three sides, and in front of it is the endless sea.

Every night, the villagers will take homemade rafts or boats to the shallows or further sea areas to lower the fishing nets with bait.When the next day dawns, the fishing nets that have been placed overnight will be salvaged.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can catch a lot of big fish and sell them at a good price when you bring them to the market.Occasionally unlucky, but can barely make ends meet.

The days of the villagers passed quietly day after day, until the appearance of the sea monster easily broke the peaceful life of the village.

He Lanyi used the disguise technique to cover up her original appearance and figure.

She looks plain now, and her complexion is a little dark.With a slightly shorter stature and a wider body, she looks like a peasant woman who has worked hard in the sun for many years.

Not only that, but in order to better fit this identity, she also used a little illusion, so that when she spoke, what others heard would be a woman's voice with a high volume, generous and rough.

After all, there are no mobile phones in this era, and ordinary people can't transmit voices for thousands of miles. Daily communication depends on a good voice.

He Lanyi, who was dressed in coarse linen, stood in front of a family, thought for a while, and quickly opened his right hand, which was originally held empty, a second before it fell on the door panel, and changed "knock" to "pat".

"Bang bang bang..."

"Is anyone there?" He Lanyi patted the door panel, watching the movement in the room through the gap between the door.

Soon, an old man with a thin figure and a stooped posture came out with a cane.

He silently looked at the strange-looking woman outside the door.

"What's the matter?" The voice was old, but very powerful.

He Lanyi squeezed a smile from his face, and said carelessly: "Oh, sir, you don't know, I just escaped from Zhoujiakou, and I planned to go to Taohua Town to seek refuge with one of my relatives, but I'm halfway there. Be careful to sprain your foot, it hurts so much that you can't even walk."

"Walking outside for a while, when I looked up, I happened to see a house not far away. Didn't I want to stay here for a few days with a shy face, so that I can continue on my way when my feet are healthy?"

Although her complexion is dark, but her facial features are regular, she looks like a pure and good person with no dirty thoughts.

In addition, Zhoujiakou did encounter a flood not long ago, and the houses and fields were flooded. Most of the people there fled their hometowns and went to other places to find ways to survive.

The old man sighed. Since ancient times, natural disasters are inevitable disasters caused by manpower. It is not easy for ordinary people like them to have a place to go.

He glanced behind He Lanyi and asked, "Are you alone? If you have other relatives behind, you can call them all. I am the village head of Xiaohe Village. I can help you arrange a place to live. It's not difficult."

After all, he saw that the woman looked a little old, and she should have already married.

Where is she going to find some relatives now?
He Lanyi gritted her teeth secretly, forced out a few tears in the next second, and looked at the village chief with tears in her eyes: "I... all my relatives have died, and I was the only one who survived by luck. Now that I think about it, It makes people..."

"Woooooo..." A woman in her 30s was standing at the door of her house crying bitterly.

Above the village head's muddy eyes, the drooping eyelids twitched twice.

Fearing that the villagers would see and misunderstand, the village chief hurriedly brought He Lanyi into the house.

The houses in Xiaohe Village all look very similar in appearance. Most of the houses are made of wood, with boards of different widths and colors, exuding a faint woody smell.

After years of long baptism, the house looks more mottled, but it also shows a sense of simplicity and warmth.

The roof is mostly covered with thatch or straw, and its color is yellowish brown or gray.Some villagers even hang large and small black fishing nets under the eaves.

The village chief's house was no exception. When He Lanyi walked in, he immediately saw dried fish and kelp drying on yellow bamboo poles in the small yard.

A fishy smell of the sea hits the face.

He Lanyi sniffled, and followed the village chief step by step.

With a sound of "squeak", the village chief pushed open the wooden door of the small room on the left side of the small courtyard, turned around and said to He Lanyi, "This is my son's room. He went to town today, and he won't come back until tomorrow. I'll ask my mother-in-law to tidy up here later, and you can rest here tonight."

Although the room is small, but fortunately it is clean and tidy. He Lanyi nodded to the village chief and said gratefully: "If it wasn't for you today, I would have slept in the wilderness, and would have been snatched away by hungry wolves in the mountains at night." uncertain."

"Don't worry, when I recover, I will definitely come back to repay you!"

The village chief laughed twice and waved his hands. He just stayed at home for a few days, and it was not a big deal. He didn't need any repayment.

After a while, the village chief's wife came in and changed the sheets and quilts for her.

She looks much younger than the village head, with some flesh around her waist, she always smiles when she sees people, she looks very kind, and it is easy for people to feel close to her.

While making the bed quickly with her hands and feet, she chatted with He Lanyi.

"What's the lady's name?"

"He..." He Lanyi swallowed the name he wanted to say, turned around and said, "Lan, my name is Lan."

"It turned out to be Lady Lan."

"Ah."

"I don't know what should I call you, auntie?" He Lanyi asked her.

The village chief's wife took back the foot she was about to step out of the door, and she was still holding the bed quilt she had just replaced.

"As for me, people in the village call me Haisheng's mother, or Yu's aunt, so you can just call me aunt."

In fact, what He Lanyi was curious about was her name.

But she just nodded and said, "Okay."

Aunt Yu has a warm personality. Knowing that she has sprained her ankle, she specially brought home medicinal wine and rubbed it on her.

He Lanyi sat on the bed and retracted her legs, repeatedly shaking her head and refusing: "I'll do it myself."

Without saying a word, Aunt Yu stretched out her hand and pulled her foot.

"Miss Lan, this medicinal wine not only needs to be rubbed, but also needs to be rubbed hard to work. Let me help you. Don't worry, my family Haisheng was injured when he was a child. I helped him with the medicine. I know it well. It won't hurt you too much."

He Lanyi was not afraid of pain, it was because she was not injured at all!

Aunt Yu's hands were stronger than He Lanyi expected. She tried twice but couldn't break free, and she didn't dare to use her spiritual energy, so she had to let her go.

With a light tap of her fingertips, her originally smooth ankles looked like high protrusions, redness and swelling in the eyes of the aunt.

"Oh! So serious! It looks like a steamed bun."

Aunt Yu poured medicated oil into her hand, "But it's okay, wait until I press it for you for a while, keep it for three or two days and let it reduce the swelling!"
