The Rebirth of Jiangmen's Daughter

Chapter 1555 Going to Jingling, staying at night

As Huangfu Ye expected, the group of people will reach Jingling before nightfall, but when they arrived at Jingling, they couldn't see their fingers all the way. If they didn't hold the torches in their hands, the road under their feet might be too dark. can not see clearly.

"What's going on here? We walked from the street to the end of the alley, and all the people had already put out their candles to rest, but what time is it now, and why did they go to bed so early?"

Ye Qingcheng was a little puzzled, even if the peasants went to bed early, but it was just nightfall, they couldn't go to bed so early...

When thinking about this, Ye Qingcheng signaled An Ye to go forward and knock on the door. After all, they still had to find a place to stay tonight. There seemed to be no inns along the way, and they might spend the night at people's homes tonight.

"Tuk tuk... tuk tuk..."

The rhythmic knocking on the door in the dark night was especially noticeable in the silent night. It was not until the dark night knocked for a long time that there was a rustling sound in the room.

"Who is it... at night?"

An old and feeble voice came from the room, and the people waiting outside were startled, they didn't expect that the people in this family were so old, but they didn't bother the two masters with one thing, at this hour, they were too embarrassed to bother others.

With a sound of "squeak", the gate inside the fence opened, and there was a trembling figure standing at the gate. The old man looked hard, but he couldn't see anyone clearly except for the figures.

"The wind blows too much at night in this winter, and the door is knocked. If it blows like this, what if it snows..."

The old man's voice was somewhat helpless and bitter, and the few people standing outside the door couldn't bear it, so Yu Mo immediately raised his voice to call the old man.

"Old man, we are passers-by. Because it is too late, we missed the time to stay. I want to stay at your house for one night, is that okay?"

"Borrow millet? I don't have millet at home. We have been steaming sweet potatoes for the past few days. If you want, I can even give you two..."

The old man was obviously deaf, and he didn't quite know that they were going to lodge, but he thought that they were coming to borrow millet, so he must open the door to let them in first.

Seeing the old man approaching, all the people waiting outside held their breath, for fear of frightening the old man.

"Oh, little girl, didn't you come to borrow millet alone? Why are there so many people? With so many of you, my sweet potatoes can't reach me..."

The old man had a look of guilt on his face. Although he also wanted to help them, but his family was too poor to fill his own stomach, so how could he provide them with extra food?

"Old man, we don't borrow your sweet potatoes. We just want to spend the night at your house. Don't worry, we won't live in vain. We will pay you money..."

Huangfu Ye took a step forward, talking to the old man, and took out the broken silver that he exchanged early in the morning and put it in the old man's hand.

The old man saw that there were so many of them, and it was not unreasonable to let them stand outside, so he turned his body to let them in, and returned the silver that Huangfu Ye had put in his hand.

"Go ahead and take a look, my room can only be regarded as a shelter from the cold, if you can stay here, you can rest here for one night, the money is fine, and when you go out, who doesn't have time to help? "

Originally, they all thought that the old man's words were just polite words, but when they walked in and took a closer look, they realized that the old man was not alarmist.
