Perhaps Wei Rou's expression was too serious, even Gu Xi believed it when he heard this, and his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, with a look of shock in his eyes.
But when he noticed Wei Rou's narrow gaze, he knew that she was trying to persuade the old man.
Sighing slightly in his heart, he hugged Wei Rou's waist and nodded to the old man to express his affirmation.
The old man looked the two of them up and down, and looked over their shoulders at the carriage behind them, looking either rich or expensive.
He was still a little wary.
"You can go ten miles to the town and there is an inn there."
Wei Rou had a troubled look on her face when she heard this, and lowered her voice.
"Old man, to tell you the truth, my husband and I... have secretly escaped from the town for the rest of our lives, and now we don't know where to go, so we want to settle down here first. If we return to the town, my parents may You're going to separate me and my husband..."
As she spoke, Wei Rou's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It looked really pitiful to me.
Gu Xi clenched her hand subconsciously.
Seeing Wei Rou like this, the old man couldn't bear it, hesitantly said: "I'm... poor, I'm afraid I won't be able to accommodate you golden branches and jade leaves."
Wei Rou shook her head.
"It's okay, we just want to rest here for a while, and we will leave when we find a suitable place. This is our little intention."
Speaking of which, Wei Rou winked at the warmth behind her.
The warmth immediately understood, took out the money bag, stepped forward, and handed it to the old man.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly waved his hands.
"How can this be done! Just come in!"
Speaking of which, the old man opened the door and asked Wei Rou and the two to sit in the room.
After the old man learned that Wei Rou was pregnant, his attitude improved a lot, and he was willing to have a few more words with them.
When Wei Rou asked about the desolation here, the old man was lost in memory, and a sad look appeared on his face.
It wasn't so desolate back then.
It turned out to be a village with a thriving population.
It all started ten years ago.
At that time, when the government was changing, they happened to be in a land where wars were raging. Many families took their wives and children to the neighboring countries to escape the war.
Now there are only three or four families living in this area for a few miles, and they have all moved out.
Only the old man is still living here.
Wei Rou sighed after hearing this.
"Uncle Qin, what about your child?"
Uncle Qin shook his head.
"My daughter-in-law passed away before she was pregnant with a child."
"Then why are you still guarding here and not leaving with the others?"
Uncle Qin looked at a certain place in the distance, he didn't know what he thought of, and he sighed softly.
"I have to stay and watch, this is my mission."
Wei Rou wanted to ask again, but Uncle Qin had already got up and said, "I'll clean up your room for you, but the house is shabby, so don't dislike it."
Uncle Qin didn't want to say more, so Wei Rou couldn't ask further questions.
Sitting down in the tidy room, Gu Xi took Wei Rou into his arms and stroked her flat belly.
"Pregnant?"
Wei Rou took a look at him.
"I told a lie, otherwise Uncle Qin wouldn't have let us in."
"Why is it so devious?"
Wei Rou explained: "Uncle Qin was already very vigilant when he saw us. If you ask about the dungeon, even if he knows something, he won't be willing to tell you."
Gu Xi understood.
Wei Rou said again: "However, according to my opinion, Uncle Qin probably knows about the existence of the dungeon."
But when he noticed Wei Rou's narrow gaze, he knew that she was trying to persuade the old man.
Sighing slightly in his heart, he hugged Wei Rou's waist and nodded to the old man to express his affirmation.
