"Sir, you'd better stop asking. I'll let the kitchen prepare what you want to eat."

When Mu Chennian saw that the shopkeeper refused to say anything, I didn't ask any more questions and ordered a few dishes, and motioned for Mu Yun and the accompanying soldiers to sit down as well.

After finishing the meal, Mu Chennian asked the shopkeeper about Shanjiacun.

"Shopkeeper, how to get to Shanjiacun?"

"Why are you asking about Shanjiacun?" The shopkeeper looked defensive and solemn.

"Let's go to Shanjia Village to look for someone." Mu Chennian's expression remained as usual, without the previous arrogance. There were only the shopkeeper and the waiter here, and no one else. There was no need to pretend to be an arrogant and domineering playboy.

"I advise you not to go."

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed. Mu Yun stood up and patted the table. With an arrogant look on his face, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Just answer whatever the young master asks you. Why are you so long-winded?"

"I'm also doing it for your young master's benefit."

The shopkeeper continued to persuade him with good words, but Mu Yun would not accept his words: "Do you know who my young master is? You don't need to worry. Just answer whatever is asked. If you don't answer, I'll demolish your restaurant." .”

Mu Chennian was also startled by Mu Yun's behavior of slapping the table. Where did Mu Yun learn this? He was no different from those playboys.

"Don't be like this. It's not that I won't tell you. I really can't."

The shopkeeper looked sad and helpless. A few months ago, villagers from Shanjia Village and several other villages came to the county magistrate, hoping that the county magistrate would open a warehouse to release grain. The county magistrate refused, so they went to the prefect's office. , the prefect sent people to drive them back, and sent troops to seal off those villages.

Later, I heard that there was a plague in those villages. In fact, everyone knew it, but they didn't dare to say it out. Where there was a plague, they were obviously starving to death.

Two months ago, the court officials who came to provide disaster relief also disappeared. The food for disaster relief went into the prefect's office, and [-]% of the people had been silenced by the prefect.

Mu Chennian shook his head at Mu Yun, meaning to tell him to stop scaring the shopkeeper.

It seems that what Shan Tie said is true. The surrounding city is probably controlled by the governor of the surrounding city, and Shanjia Village and those villages are probably in danger.

"You just need to tell us which direction Shanjia Village is, and we can go there ourselves."

Seeing that the shopkeeper could not be persuaded, the shopkeeper said nothing and gave them directions. Mu Chennian and others rode horses to the Shanjia Village pointed by the shopkeeper.

desolate……

Everything is white as far as the eye can see. The mountains, rivers, trees, and houses are all shrouded in white snow. There is silence all around, and there is no sound of birds.

Mu Chennian looked gloomy and continued to walk forward. Even the door of the house was open. I took advantage of a few people to go in and take a look. The house was in a mess and there was no one. I walked through several villages in a row. Without seeing anyone, Mu Chennian's mood fell to a low point.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and they were so deep that they seemed to be filled with thousands of emotions.

"Master, it's getting dark. It's easy to get lost in such heavy snow. Let's go back to the city."

Mu Chennian turned the horse's head without saying a word, and Mu Yun and others followed silently. Everyone was silent along the way.

When I returned to the inn, I didn't notice the expressions of the shopkeeper and waiter because I had something on my mind.

After dinner, several people went back to their rooms to sleep. Mu Yun stayed in Mu Chennian's room to protect them closely, while several other soldiers slept in the next room.
