Chapter 1607: Being Taken As A Monkey!....

The three of them led their horses inside. Jiang Zhennan’s Lie Feng and Lin Yuelan’s Yi Yun were tied under the big tree. The two of them seemed to be very xenophobic. They seemed to be very hostile to Liu Yichen’s Ta Xue. As long as Ta Xue got close to them, she would definitely be attacked. The owners of the three horses had no choice but to separate them.
This time was no exception.
Since their horses were tied under the tree, Liu Yichen had no choice but to tie his own Taxue to the pigsty. He patted her head and said,” Ta Xue, it’s been hard on you.” However, don’t worry. When we return, I will definitely make it up to you!’
Ta Xue was a red ferghana horse. Liu Yichen usually took great care of it, but this time, he had been wronged by Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.
However, it was because Ta Xue didn’t fit in with the others and wasn’t liked by the other two. She could only watch silently from the side.
In response to her master’s comforting words, Ta Xue stretched out her head and rubbed Liu Yichen’s palm as if to comfort him and show that she understood and wasn’t wronged.
After tying up her legs, Liu Yichen went to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.
At this moment, the old man came over with a pot of hot water and three big bowls that were slightly chipped. He said to the three of them in embarrassment,” I’m sorry. I’m from the countryside. There’s nothing to entertain guests. Please don’t take offence!”
Liu Yichen smiled and said,” Uncle, you’re too polite. We’re the ones who came to disturb you!’
After the old man poured a bowl of water for each of them, Lin Yuelan took the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, she asked casually,” Old man, have you seen any caravans passing by this village recently?”
Lin Yuelan thought for a moment. Since Xiao Jingrui didn’t want to be ostentatious, then they must have turned into a caravan.
After all, there were tens of thousands of caravans in the world, and it was the hardest to see through their identities.
When the old man heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment.” Speaking of which, a group of merchants passed by here some time ago. There were about twenty people.”
Lin Yuelan asked again,” Did the old man see the appearance of the boss of the caravan?”
The old man thought for a moment and said,” I didn’t see his face clearly, but I heard from Old Madam Li next door that the boss of the caravan was very handsome, but he looked gloomy and scary! Even from afar, they could feel that terrifying aura! ”
Hearing the old man’s words, the three of them looked at each other and immediately confirmed that the man was Xiao Jingrui.
Since it was confirmed that Xiao Jingrui had passed through here, and they were about to reach Yiyi Mountain, Xiao Jingrui was likely to be nearby.
Just as the three of them were deep in thought, the old man said,” I heard that the caravan stopped at Stone Village. I heard from the villagers that those people have been living in their village for almost a month.
“However, because they were extraordinary, the Stone Village was eager for them to stay as long as possible!”
At this point, his expression was full of envy as he glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.
Clearly, there was a deeper meaning behind his words.
Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and Liu Yichen were speechless. This was a roundabout way of asking them for money.
Liu Yichen complained in his heart and exclaimed loudly, ‘Didn’t they say that country people are the most simple and hospitable? Was this person beating around the bush asking them for money?’
Although he was complaining, Liu Yichen still took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the uncle.” Uncle, we’re tired from the journey and hungry. Please go buy some meat and vegetables for us. You can keep the remaining money! ”
When the old man saw the silver ingot, his eyes immediately lit up. He did not refuse and took the silver.
Then, he shouted loudly,” Old woman, old woman, come out quickly!’
” I’m here, I’m here.” A moment later, an old woman walked out. Her hair was a little white, but she was in good spirits. She asked,” Old man, I’m still preparing food in the house. What’s the matter?”
The old man said,” Go to the old hunter’s house and buy a rabbit. Then, go to the village chief’s house and buy a hen. Then, go to Old Madam Li t s house and buy some pork. Treat the guests well today!” As he spoke, he even flashed the silver in his hand.
Seeing such a large piece of silver, the old woman’s eyes immediately lit up like the old man’s.
She said,” Old man, I’ll go to the fields to pick some more vegetables.. You can go buy these things!’
