Ling Yu chuckled and reached out to hold the woman's hand. The calluses in her hands from years of work rubbed against her skin.

"Girl, that's too polite of you to say that. Compared with sleeping in the open air, it's more than twice as good here."

As he spoke, Ling Yu glanced at Hua Jian and the others, and watched as Hua Jian and the others turned around and returned to the car.

"I'll move the things down first. You can wait a moment. We'll stay here tonight. You don't have to prepare anything for daily use. We'll bring everything ourselves. You can just have dinner with us then."

Ling Yu said that he was a compassionate person. His family was in such a bad situation and he still had to eat and live in other people's homes. There was no shame in that, so he should honestly prepare for it himself.

As for Liu Moru on the side, she was even more flustered. This person was not staying at her house. He was clearly moving things to her house.

Seeing Hua Jian and others taking out some food from the car, Liu Moru was also stunned. Can all these things be put in the car?

Naturally, she didn't know that, except for Jiang Yueting, all of these people were created by Ling Yu herself. Each one of them had a small game storage bag that could store some items.This is also the reason why they have always been able to travel lightly.

A few packets of noodles, a few bags of rice, forget it, but did you put lettuce and raw meat in the car?Aren't you afraid of being smoked to death sitting in it?However, the other party remained the same and even brought out a live fish.

emmmm, this is a bit too much. As we all know, live fish must be in the water, and they have just been fished out for a short time. However, where can you store live fish in your car?

"Okay, Miss Liu, ah, I'll call you Moru. You can just wait here with peace of mind."

Although the official asked her to wait aside, Liu Moru really didn't dare to let these guests do it themselves.

Just when he wanted to help, he saw Yao Yuehan leaning against the wall, his body seemed a little uncomfortable.After thinking for a moment, he turned around and went into the house. After a while, he took out a bowl of water.

"Girl, drink some water first."

Obedient, Yao Yuehan raised his head slightly and looked at the gentle woman in front of him, his clear eyes were really surprised.

"Thank you."

"It should be done."

Gently pulling Yao Yuehan to sit on the small stool on the side, looking at the little loli in front of him, he said that he liked her. It would be great if she could have a child with him.

"Master, everything has been taken down. Do you want anything else?"

Ling Yu always knew what Liu Moru next to her was doing, but she was indeed a careful woman. If she left, could she help her a little.

"Well, take the things and put them aside. Yueting, it depends on your craftsmanship."

Ling Yu looked at the little Loli who had rolled up her sleeves and was about to do some hard work in the kitchen next to her. She smiled slightly and then turned around and came to Yao Yuehan's side.

"Miss Liu, we can rest first, and then we can eat directly after Yueting prepares lunch."

"Ah? Wherever your people are needed to do this kind of thing, I can just do it."

But just as Liu Moru raised her legs, she saw Jiang Yueting taking out some ingredients that she didn't even recognize and walking into the kitchen.She may really not be able to make the lunch that the adults talk about.

Although these people were staying with her, she couldn't do anything to help them. On the contrary, they were suspected of causing trouble here. This thought made Liu Moru somewhat sad.

"Yuehan, why don't we go in and clean up the room first, otherwise it would be a bit hasty to clean it up at night."

Liu Moru looked up and saw that Hua Jian and Yue Jian had already moved several mattresses. These mattresses were obviously finely made of high-end silk and satin. She had only seen them in nearby towns.

No, the best mattresses in the town are not as beautiful as this girl. As expected of a big shot from the capital, even the daily expenses for food and clothing are beyond my imagination.

However, making the bed is what she is best at. She couldn't help with the cooking just now, but she is unequivocal about cleaning.

"Sir, please let me clean it up for you. The room is quite dirty, so I'd better clean it up first."

As she spoke, Liu Moru hurried into the room and nervously cleaned the room. At this time, Hua Jian came to Ling Yu holding the quilt.

"Master of the Villa, do you want Liu Moru to follow us back to the Villa?"

"Um? Why do you suddenly ask that?" Ling Yu looked at her in surprise. He was still struggling with how to help Liu Moru, but the foil sword had already noticed something.

"Master, I advise you not to do it. Regarding this Liu Moru, although she is said to be a widow, her husband has not seen the body until now, so..."

"So you suspect that she is not a widow? Her husband will come back, right?"

Huajian nodded heavily. Although he didn't want to say it, this woman's uncertainty would be defined as an unsafe factor by the housekeeper. Anyone with unsafe factors would not be allowed to enter the villa.

However, even though he thought so, Huajian still turned his eyes to Yao Yuehan on the side. If he was the most unstable, Yao Yuehan was the greatest instability.Everything about her is a mystery to the Villa.

In fact, they have not found out Yao Yuehan's origin, which has led Butler Lian to define this little girl as the biggest unrest factor in the villa. Even if he goes back, Butler Lian will go to the owner of the villa to tell him about this. thing.

Thank you to the reader @龙の绫 for the big reward. I am very grateful.

Chapter 3: Ruffians in the Village (two chapters combined)

The fragrant braised pork, green vegetable rolls, some stewed chicken and other stir-fried dishes made Liu Moru restless while sitting on the seat and looking at the table.

She had never seen these dishes before, let alone eating them. But at this time, they appeared so openly on her dining table, which made her a little unbelievable for a moment.

"Miss Liu, let's just settle for this dish."

Emmmm, I felt awkward hearing this, but Liu Moru couldn't say anything. Originally, he was staying at his home, and he thought that these big shots wanted to eat some rough food in the village like him, but he didn't expect that they actually brought them with him. A lot of ingredients.

Shengsheng replaced the coarse food that she thought was not suitable for the table with delicacies that she had never seen before, which made her master's family feel extremely embarrassed.

However, Ling Yu didn't think too much about it. They were all eating anyway. One more person wasn't too much, so why not let others enjoy it together? She conveniently placed a piece of red and thin braised pork in the bowl in front of Liu Moru.

"Yue Ting has made great efforts to learn this braised pork. Although it is not as delicious as the one made by the cook at home, it still tastes very good. You can try it."

Looking at the piece of braised pork in front of him, Liu Moru's eyes suddenly felt a little hot. He had never tasted this kind of food when he was here. He didn't expect that he could only taste it because of the people staying at his house.

"I remember that life in Daxia is not bad, how do you feel..."

When Liu Moru heard what Ling Yu said, she just smiled bitterly, "You don't know something, sir. Although our Daxia country has been growing in strength since its founding, we ordinary families can only maintain food and clothing, and there is not much meat. , even if they do, they rarely have the luxury of making this kind of braised pork."

Although Liu Moru didn't see how Jiang Yueting made it, she could tell from some of the ingredients that this kind of thing was rarely seen in families like hers.

After listening to Liu Moru's words, Ling Yu realized that in any case, this continent was still stuck on the productivity of ancient China. I don't think these eggs and meat were very rich, and some ordinary farmers could eat some every year. Meat, but the ingredients in the braised pork they make are also a burden for them.

Let’s not talk about sugar. Basically, some wealthy people cannot afford it at all. The sugar in their villa is produced for their own use and will not be sold at all.

As for some ingredients, such as cinnamon, star anise, tangerine peel, fragrant leaves, etc., they are basically extinct in these people's homes.Even if you can afford it, why would you want to buy it?

Thinking of this, Ling Yu couldn't help but feel a little pity.Looking at the woman in front of her, waiting for her husband here alone, she still persevered no matter how hard it was. For this alone, she admired her very much.

"Just eat more of these dishes."

He picked up some meat for the woman again and put it in her bowl. Liu Moru was flattered and looked at the girl in front of him with a kind smile on her face.

This kind of girl who is ignorant of the world is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, which makes her really envious in her heart.

"Hey... what are you eating? It's so delicious, don't sell it."

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, a disgusting sound came from the courtyard, making Ling Yu and others frown, while Liu Moru looked panicked.

"Why is he here? Shouldn't he be arrested and taken to the countryside?"

he?When Ling Yu heard this word, a trace of inexplicable feeling flashed in her heart. Didn't she say that this woman was a widow?How could a man still come to her?

"Widow Liu, you are really cruel. I just came to your house to talk to you, but you sold me out so unceremoniously and almost sent me to jail. Tsk, tsk, what do you think I should do? How about settling a score with you?"

The door was pushed open with force, and a arrogant man looked at the people in the room. He was instantly dazzled by several beautiful girls. When he came, he heard that some extraordinary people lived in Widow Liu's house. People, I never thought they could be so incredible.

If he told the adults, wouldn't he be able to get a lot of rewards? If possible, he might even be able to drink some soup. Thinking of being able to lie on top of these beauties, the man's face became even more obscene.

"You... weren't you arrested by Mr. Ma? Why, why did you come out again?"

"Hmph, why can't I come out? Am I going to be arrested just because of your words? I was just bragging in front of you, and you reported me. I still want to have a good relationship with you about this matter. Said."

"Who is this guy?"

This uninvited guest made Ling Yu very unhappy, and she wanted to beat him up, but after all, this was not her own manor, and she couldn't hit anyone she didn't like, as that wouldn't make her a bully.

"Beauty, my name is Yang Ma, and I am also from Xiaoyang Village. I have something to tell Widow Liu. Do you think it can be convenient?"

"Excuse me? No, we have already stayed here. If you want to cause trouble here, please get out. We don't welcome you."

He had a wretched look on his face, and it seemed like he wasn't a good person at first glance. How could Ling Yu let him stay here?

"I'm talking about beauty, I want to negotiate with you. Don't be shameless. I also told you to ask people from all over the country who don't know about me, Yang Mazi. If you make me anxious, hey , you see how I deal with you."

"How do you want to deal with me?"

A raised eyebrow?Before Jiang Yueting could take action, the foil sword had already appeared in front of Yang Ma. With a flip of his hand, the person was thrown out of the courtyard in the next second.

With just a blur in front of his eyes and the roar of wind in his ears, he had already landed outside the courtyard. Looking at the women standing inside, Yang Mazi didn't know that he was in trouble this time.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the women inside, humph, don't think that's it, don't you just know how to work hard? Look back and see how he brings you. Let's see how he deals with you.

He turned around and left angrily, his mouth full of curses.But he didn't notice that there was already a black shadow behind him, following him closely as he left.

"You... Oh, sir, please leave quickly. You don't know that Yang Mazi has colluded with the bandits outside. When he wanted to force... to marry me, he leaked the truth in my house, so I went there. The village reported him, but unexpectedly he was released just a few days ago."

"Huh? You mean there are bandits around here?"

I didn't expect that there would be bandits in Daxia, but think about it. Not to mention the prosperous Tang Dynasty, even the Song Dynasty, which was known to hide wealth among the people, also had bandits.

Not to mention the floods in Liangshan, even during the reign of Song Renzong, which was the most prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were also floods and droughts and banditry happening in all directions. So it is understandable that such a thing would appear in this Great Xia.

"There are bandits, and they are very fierce. Many merchants who come and go have been robbed. Every time the township and county send people to clear up the money, they seem to get the news in advance and escape into the mountains not far away, and let people find them. No trace."

No trace?This is strange. There are indeed some deep mountains nearby, but how can they get the news in advance that someone is coming to suppress the bandits? Even if they know in advance, how can they be so well prepared.Once you enter the mountains, you can hold on for so many days.

Either their mountain stronghold was originally deep in the mountains and they only came out occasionally, or there were people among the officials in the township and county who colluded with them.

The first part is easy to say, as long as their cottage is found, but the latter part is really hard to say. If these officials are not found, these gangsters will not disappear.

"Sir, you should leave quickly before those people come. If you are late, you will be in trouble."

Seeing that Ling Yu still had no intention of leaving, Liu Moru became anxious. If something went wrong at home, she would die a hundred times.

But when Ling Yu saw Liu Moru with an anxious look on his face, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "You asked us to leave, but what about you? What should those people do if they come to you and see that I am not here?"

"Then... Sir, we all have cheap lives, not as good as yours, and you are different from me. Even if I die, who will be sad or feel distressed."

A touch of sadness, maybe this woman will feel tired and overwhelmed in this constant persistence, and she will die in her heart, but she is unwilling to leave like this.

If it weren't for a little bit of hope in her heart, she might have chosen to die for love long ago.

"Ha, don't worry, those people don't dare to do anything to me, if they can still live until that time."

Her eyes slightly glanced at Hua Jian, who had a calm face next to her. She just asked Yue Jian to leave. Did she really pretend that she didn't see it? I'm afraid she had already thought that there was someone behind this man.

When they saw their group of people, the instant changes in their expressions were all reflected on their faces. If they hadn't wanted to follow the clues, they would have broken the man's limbs and thrown him into the woods outside to fend for himself.

"grown ups...."

"Call me Ling Yu. Don't call me sir. I'm not as old as you. I'll just call you Sister Moru."

"But...."

"Oh, but what? What does it matter? It's just a title."

Ling Yu waved her hand, interrupting what the other party was about to say, and continued to focus on the table. "Sister Moru, please relax now and have a good meal here. We have other ingredients to make new ones tonight."

Just when he was about to say that he couldn't finish all this, he remembered the previous topic again, and when he was about to continue persuading, he was gently pulled by a small hand.

Looking along, she saw the silver-haired Yao Yuehan gently shaking his head at her, telling her not to say any more.

"Girl, aren't you worried about your adults?"

"My lord? What we should worry about are the people who want to cause trouble for her. If nothing else, even if those bandits come, they will have the same fate. However, I think they won't be able to come."

Yao Yuehan looked at one side who was talking to Jiang Yueting, and on the other side the flower sword was whispering to the snow sword, as if he was giving orders.

"Didn't you notice that we are missing one person now?"

One person missing?Liu Moru was stunned for a moment, and after looking carefully, she realized that the cold woman who had been wearing moon-white clothes had disappeared without knowing when.

"Now you know, they are my master's bodyguards. Not to mention a small bandit, they are not afraid of even a big shot of a sect."

Although I don’t know what this sect leader is like, he sounds very powerful, but the other party is a group of thieves, not just one person. How can she defeat him alone.

"What? Don't worry, you see that the owner of the village doesn't look worried at all, so just relax first. Besides, we are leaving and you are the only one left. What will you do if they cause trouble for you? The matter must be completely resolved. .”

He gently patted the back of Liu Moru's hand. Seeing that she still looked worried, Yao Yuehan gently pushed a cup of Qingxin tea in front of her.

"Have a taste and maybe you'll feel more relaxed."

As for Ling Yu, who was talking to Jiang Yueting, he just smiled knowingly when he saw Yao Yuehan like this. Now she is becoming more and more cheerful. Overall, she is doing well. She just hopes that it can continue like this. If she can put her It's better to tell yourself what's on your mind.

At this time, Yue Jian had followed Yang Mazi all the way to his home. Thinking of what Hua Jian had told him before, not to touch him for the time being and to see where he was going, he took out his water bag and gave himself a drink. He drank and continued to hide in a big tree.

As expected, this man was not a broad-minded person. He didn't waste any time. He just entered the house and took a drink of water before he hurriedly ran out of the house and continued towards the mountains.

I'm afraid he walked like this often. When he walked, he looked behind him from time to time, as if he was worried that someone was following him, but after all, he didn't have much cultivation, so he couldn't notice Yue Sword following him all the way.

Seeing this man's sneaky movement, Yue Jian was certain that this man definitely had some secrets, otherwise he would never be so careful.

And I have to say that this person is really cautious. He has walked back and forth on this road several times, as if he was lost, without any trace at all.
