Ji Yu helplessly said to Mei Shuao who was carrying the luggage: "What about Yan Yigu?"

"My brother will help, and besides, Lingjing is here." Mei Shuao was a little discouraged, "I can't intervene either."

This matter starts from last night.

After Ji Yu returned to the house, Mei Shuao went to find Mei Shuli.

Although Yan Yigu acted cruelly, he was not notorious in Jianghu.

Two months ago, because of a few words, Yan Yigu shot and wounded his apprentice in front of Lingjing. Lingjing fought him a few times at that time, and Yan Yigu ran away when he saw the crowd.However, Lingjing's apprentice died from the poisonous palm.

Although Ling Jing has never really fought against Yan Yigu, this kind of person will be a hidden danger sooner or later in the Jianghu. If even his apprentice is killed by this kind of person, what is he talking about as the head of a famous and decent family in the Jianghu? majesty.

The Mei family also has some friendship with Ling Jing, saying that if there is any news, they will tell Mei Shuli, and hope that the Mei family can help him.

Mei Shuli naturally agreed, for a person with such high martial arts as Yan Yigu, there are probably few people in this world who are his opponents.

After listening to what Mei Shuli said, Mei Shuao didn't respond for a long time.

After a while, Mei Shuli said, "You can't get involved in this matter."

"I know." Mei Shuao was still a little unwilling.

"Of course it would be the best to get rid of Yan Yigu with the help of Ling Jing."

"Didn't you say revenge?"

"That's not revenge?" Mei Shuli smiled, "Xiao Ao, are you still young? To say such a thing."

"revenge…"

Mei Shuli interrupted Mei Shuao and said, "I'm also very sad about Wu Sheng's death, but you also have to consider your own abilities, so leave this to me. You should think about yourself first."

Mei Shuao frowned, "I asked my father to check Yan Yigu, and he said nothing was found."

"Oh, Xiao Ao, you really haven't grown up yet." Mei Shuli had an idea in her heart, so she didn't want to talk about it anymore, "Junqin is gone, what are you going to do?"

"Brother, I came to you to talk about this."

"Oh?" Mei Shuli raised an eyebrow.

"I want to go north with Junqin, and then go back to Meizhuang."

Mei Shuli had a strange expression, "You have to think about it."

"En." Mei Shuao looked into Mei Shuli's eyes.

"Xiao Ao..." Mei Shuli couldn't tell what it was like in her heart now, she always felt that Mei Shuao left with Ji Yu, and some things couldn't be taken back.

"Brother, I'm going back first."

Mei Shuao walked out of Mei Shuli's room without waiting for Mei Shuli's reply.

Mei Shuli's eyes, Mei Shuli thought about it for a long time, until he saw Ji Yu in front of the door in the early morning of the next day, everything was relieved.

Seeing that Ji Yu didn't speak, Mei Shuao explained again: "By the way, I also want to go north and return to Meizhuang."

"Okay..." Ji Yu said, "I haven't decided where to go yet, I can accompany you to Meizhuang."

"Really?" Mei Shuao's eyes lit up.

"Well, you go to Meizhuang, I plan to go around the capital."

Judging from this, Ji Yu didn't intend to go to Meizhuang, Mei Shuao said again: "Does Junqin want to ride a horse?"

After hearing this, Ji Yu turned around and walked in front of Mei Shuao, "I don't know how to ride a horse."

Mei Shuao looked at Ji Yu's back and almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly bowed to Dong Xian's grave beside him, saying, "Medical Sage, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He got up and hurriedly chased after Ji Yu.Mei Shuao also didn't want to ride a horse, because the horse always walked too fast.

"Junqin, have you really never ridden a horse?"

Mei Shuao stared at Ji Yu's expressionless side face, "It's okay, I can teach you someday."

Ji Yu ignored Mei Shuao, but went to an old man on the side of the road and asked, "Old man, is there any inn near here?"

The old man put down his shoulder pole, looked at Ji Yu and Mei Shuao, and said, "Are you from Huaicheng?"

"Exactly."

"The nearest big county here is Huaicheng."

Ji Yu and Mei Shuao stop and go, and make do with dry food at noon, it's going to be night now, and they can't find any place to live anymore, they can only sleep by the roadside.

The old man said: "There is only one village nearby, and there is no inn."

At this time, Mei Shuao said: "Old man, can you take us in for a night conveniently?"

Ji Yu glanced at Mei Shuao.

Mei Shuao comforted Ji Yu with his eyes, and said to the old man: "Old man, we will pay the money, you see we have been away for a day, and now there is really no place to live."

The old man carried Mei Shuao back and forth, picked up the pole, "Let's go, my house is right in front."

"Thank you, old man." Mei Shu smiled proudly at Ji Yu, and hurriedly took over the old man's shoulder pole, saying, "I'll get it."

The old man didn't object either.

"Old man, what are you picking, it's quite heavy."

"A melon for my grandson."

After the old man finished speaking, he walked to the front of the two to lead the way.

After walking two or three miles to the north, I saw a village. The village is not big, there should be only about twenty families.

The old man walked into a wooden fence and shouted, "Auntie, I'm back."

Then an old woman in her 50s came out of the house, "Old man, I came back early today."

The old lady looked at Mei Shuao and Ji Yu, "Who are these two?"

The old man took the burden from Mei Shuao's shoulders and said: "These two are coming to stay at home for one night, you clean up Shuanzi's house and let them live there."

Mei Shuao hastily bowed to the old lady.

"Where is the embolus?" The old man took out several packets of medicine from the basket.

The old woman took the medicine package, and smiled at Mei Shuao, "Shuanzi fell asleep on our bed."

"Two young masters, sit down slowly. I will make medicine for my grandson first, and then I will make the bed for young master."

"Not urgent."

After Mei Shuao finished speaking, she brought the small chair in the yard to Ji Yu, and wiped it briefly with her hands, "Junqin, get tired, sit down."

Ji Yu didn't say anything, just sat on it.

"Old man, why don't you see your wife and children?" Mei Shuao was very curious.

The old man pushed a bag of melons in the basket against the wall, and then said, "The son is gone, and the daughter-in-law has run away."

Mei Shuao looked at the figure of the old man busy cleaning up, and did not speak for a long time.

After a cup of tea, the old lady walked towards Mei Shuao and the two with a smile, "The house has been tidied up, you two should go and have a look. The two walked into the only wing room in the courtyard. Very simple, just a bed and a table.

There was also some grain piled up by the window.

"The old man's house only has this one room, the two young masters should not dislike it."

"How could it be? If the old man didn't take us in, we would be sleeping on the street tonight." Mei Shuao said to the old man standing by the door, "Maybe the old man can get us some food? Ordinary food is fine."

Mei Shuao took out ten taels of silver from the purse and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the silver ingot and said, "I will return the rest of the silver to you."

Mei Shuao smiled heartily, "This money includes our board and lodging, old man, don't shirk it."

The old man didn't speak, but the old woman behind him came forward, "It's getting dark now, the only oil lamp in the house, the two gentlemen will use it first, and then tell the old man what you need."

The old woman put the unlit oil lamp on the wooden table and pushed the old man, "Old man, why are you still standing here?"

The old woman said to Mei Shuao with a smile, "I'll call the young master when the meal is finished." She dragged the old man out of the hut.

"What's wrong with you, Junqin?" Mei Shuao felt that something was wrong with Ji Yu from just now.

"What if this person is not a good person?" Ji Yu had already entered the bandit's den by mistake, and if he hadn't escaped by luck, he didn't know what would happen.

Mei Shu proudly put the sword and luggage on the table, "This is not very good, besides, I will protect you even if there are villains."

Ji Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect Mei Shuao to say that.

"How can I say that I am also Hero Mei."

Ji Yu couldn't bear to see Mei Shuao's childish smile, turned his head and put away his luggage.

"Junqin, I'll teach you how to ride a horse in a few days?"

Ji Yu glanced at Mei Shuao lightly, "Are you done yet?"

"I'm serious." Mei Shu smiled proudly, "How can a man not know how to ride a horse?"

"Master can't either." Ji Yu was a little helpless, "Forget it, it's up to you, you teach me to learn."

Mei Shuao and Ji Yu briefly walked around the village, and found that most of the people in the village were old people, and young men were rarely seen.

Back in the courtyard, Mei Shuao couldn't help asking the old man: "Old man, why are there no mature people in this village?"

"They all went to the west to fight, and they haven't come back for two or three years." The old man waved his hands, unwilling to talk further.

At this time, the old lady had already set meals on the small table in the courtyard, and when she saw the two of them, she said, "You two, come and have dinner."

Although it is a small village in the countryside, the food is still unambiguous. There are four dishes and a large pot of stewed chicken. It seems that it should have been slaughtered today.

"Shuanzi is here to eat." The old woman first served Ji Yu and Mei Shuao a bowl of rice, and then another bowl for her grandson, "Shuanzi, sit here, come."

A little boy of seven or eight years old, with a sallow complexion, sat obediently beside Mei Shuao.

"Sir, you eat first, and the old man and I will go to boil the water first." The old woman was afraid that Shuan Zi would not be able to eat well, so she hurriedly poured a large spoonful of chicken soup for Shuan Zi.

"Ma'am, let's eat together." Mei Shuao felt a little sorry when he heard the sound of the old man chopping firewood.

"No, no." The old woman quickly waved her hands, "Eat slowly."

Mei Shuao watched the old woman walk into the kitchen, and sighed, "This old man is honest, he might as well put a little up for himself, but he just brought it all up."

"Because you gave them money." Ji Yu is not as soft-hearted as Mei Shuao, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for how many pots of chicken soup.

But Ji Yu still picked up a chicken leg for the little Shuanzi who was a little scared.

Mei Shuao saw it and kept silent.

After the meal, the two of them finished their grooming and returned to the house, where the oil lamps had already been lit.

Mei Shuao took the initiative to make the bed, but planned to spread another quilt on the floor.

"You want to sleep underground?" Ji Yu was surprised.

"Ah? Where can I sleep if I don't sleep?"

"This bed is big enough for two people."

The author has something to say: Yesterday was really the most complicated day in several years.

Alas, while reviewing a Star Master movie, someone commented below, "You can be so handsome even if you're a coward."

Immediately a little tears, the joy of the little people.

Don't sell chicken soup anymore, continue to ask for flowers and collections~!
