Marrying Mrs. Hou and making a living by relying on her circle of food friends

Chapter 32 Bandits are rampant
"Go, go, we don't have any free room in the house."

"My grandpa won't let me open the door for you."

"roll!"

……

However, the residents of the town are very resistant to outsiders. There is no one willing to let them stay, and there is no inn in the town.

What Gu Yunyue needed now was to have a good rest, but these rejections made Su Qilin confused, thinking that something must have happened in the town.

Su Qilin stepped forward again, and after being turned away for the last time, his patience was obviously worn out.

His brows wrinkled slightly, and some veins popped out on his forehead, clearly preparing to express the anger in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Yunyue stepped forward and took his hand.

"Forget it, let's ask someone else." Her face was pale, without a trace of blood, which was enough to show that she had been tortured to the point of being deformed.

As she finished speaking, she noticed a pair of old women not far away from her peripheral vision. They were busy tidying up things in their yard. When they saw Gu Yunyue walking this way, they became even more hurried. At the end , simply ignoring those things, the two quickened their pace and prepared to close the door.

At the critical moment, Gu Yunyue stretched out her hand to stop him.

She blessed her body and straightened her etiquette: "Uncle, aunt——"

"We are coming from Luyang and are going north. The bumpy journey is really unbearable. I wonder if we can stay here for the night?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old man waved his hand urgently: "No, no, I have no room at home."

With that said, he prepared to close the door again.

It was just Gu Yunyue's body that was blocking him, preventing him from closing the door.

"Girl, we really don't have room at home. You'd better go elsewhere and don't embarrass us." The old man spoke anxiously again.

However, his peripheral vision kept wandering around the guards, and his eyes were still full of fear.

Gu Yunyue noticed this, pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. These are the guards responsible for taking care of our safety. They won't do anything at will. Moreover, they don't have to enter the house and can help you guard the yard." Pack it up."

"It might rain soon, and it will definitely be inconvenient for you two."

The old man and the aunt looked at each other, and there was clearly a hint of emotion in their eyes, but they still didn't completely let go of their guard.

"We can pay." Gu Yunyue took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, we will never cause any trouble to you. If we really accidentally damage your things, we will definitely compensate you according to the price. .”

After saying this, the aunt nodded.

Seeing this, the uncle opened the door and sighed: "It's not easy for you to travel and travel, so I'll let you stay here for one night, but you must leave at dawn."

"Okay." Gu Yunyue immediately smiled.

She quickly greeted Su Qilin and others to come in. The guards were afraid that the sword in her arms would scare the old couple, so they simply cleaned the yard and sat on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the aunt felt relieved after all, but she also felt sorry for these guards who were about the same age as her own children. She quickly greeted: "You all come in, it's cold at night and you can't stand it. Although our house is not big, , but there is also a place for you to sit.”

The guards looked at each other, not sure whether to go in or not. "Since the master has said it, don't be restrained." Su Qilin said, and the guards stood up one after another and dusted themselves off before daring to enter the house.

The aunt has already boiled hot water for them.

After drinking a glass of water, Gu Yunyue calmed down and said, "Auntie, I think this Anle Town is quite big, but why is every household closed?"

"It looks like we are wolves, tigers and leopards." Su Qilin said disdainfully.

The aunt sighed and sat on the kang like them. She waved her hands feebly. Before she could speak, tears started to flow down her face: "Our place used to be very lively, but unfortunately, in recent years, there have been Bandits and bandits are doing evil here, and our life will be difficult."

"They will smash anything they see, but whatever is valuable will be pocketed by them. It's time for the bandits to come down the mountain in the past few days. No one in the town dares to go out easily."

Hearing this, Gu Yunyue's heart was inevitably moved.

She looked at Su Qilin standing aside, lowered her voice and said, "Master Marquis, look at this..."

"Let's talk tomorrow." Su Qilin looked gloomy.

He also understood that in a place far away from the capital, it was inevitable that there would be bandits and bandits doing evil. However, the people in this town were still willing to stay here, for fear of something fishy.

Gu Yunyue curled her lips. Although she was dissatisfied with his attitude, she also understood that this man must have his own considerations.

Although the aunt didn't hear what the two of them said, she stopped continuing the topic and stood up: "You are all hungry. I'm going to cook. It's a homely meal to fill your stomach. Don't be dissatisfied."

"Thank you very much, ma'am." Gu Yunyue quickly thanked her.

She also followed the aunt, but before she entered the house, she heard a small quarrel coming from the kitchen——

"Old lady, you can't do this."

"Otherwise, do you have a better way? We can't protect ourselves now."

……

Gu Yunyue didn't hear the rest clearly, but she also knew that there must be other secrets about this old couple.

She didn't want to alert the enemy, so she immediately pretended to be unaware and sat back down.

Su Qilin still noticed something strange about her and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"No... no..." Gu Yunyue shook her head and lowered her voice, "I always feel that something is not right here. Lord Marquis, let's be careful."

Su Qilin nodded and exchanged glances with the guards, and a group of people became alert.

Soon, the aunt came up with hot food.

Although they had just promised to be vigilant, they had only eaten dry food along the way. Now that they saw the hot food, they would inevitably not move their index fingers, especially Gu Yunyue. She vomited all the way and there was something in her stomach. None of it was gone, but she was still careful not to swallow the food.

After Su Qilin finished eating, he felt his eyelids begin to fight. He thought he was tired, and then he lay on the ground unconscious. Gu Yunyue also pretended to be faint and lay on the ground.

Although she was pretending to be faint, the fatigue from the journey came back, and she inevitably fell asleep. When she woke up again, she found that she was moving. After careful identification, she found that she was on a mountain road.
