Mu Yizi was holding a bag of clothes as she stood in front of Shen Bai's door, not knowing what to say.

"Cough, cough."

Startled by the sound of coughing behind her, Mu Yiran abruptly turned around and instinctively hid her clothes behind her back.

"I wonder what matter chief Mu is seeking for this little one in front of my room?" There was a smile on Shen Bai's face, as if he really enjoyed seeing her in such a predicament.

"Why are you here?" Mu Yizi seemed to be trying to hide her embarrassment as she blurted out a question. However, she regretted speaking so quickly after she asked the question. This was her room anyway, and she actually asked him why he was here.

This question made Shen Bai laugh. Her long and narrow eyes narrowed, and her eyes that were full of smiles bent like crescent moons, causing Mu Yurou to momentarily become a little dazed.

"Cough, that, that something. Didn't you tell me this morning that you wanted to change clothes? "Hey, let's see if this fits." She quickly reacted and threw the clothes behind her into Shen Bai's arms. You can do it first! By the way, what did you just do? Why did it appear behind me? "

In the face of Mu Yizi's question, Shen Bai calmly replied, "I followed Mozzie to deliver food to the brothers guarding the farmers at the foot of the mountain."

Deliver food? Mu Yizi raised her head to look at the sky. The dinner wasn't ready yet, so what kind of meal was she sending him?

As if he had guessed what Mu Yizi was thinking, Shen Bai continued, "He went there at noon. When I saw the children of the farmers, I played with them for a while. "

Mu Yizi thoughtfully nodded as she sized up Shen Bai, who was still dressed in red when he was robbed the day before yesterday. He really could not imagine what it would be like for such a devilish looking person to play with a group of children.

If others didn't know, how could she not know what the children at the foot of the mountain looked like? Every single one of them was like the monkey in the mountain, how did the courteous Shen Bai end up playing with them.

"Alright, then go back and try on your clothes! When you're done changing, it'll probably be time for dinner. " Mu Yizi patted Shen Bai on the shoulder before quickly leaving, thinking to herself that she would definitely bring food with her, while also asking those monkey kids how they tormented Shen Bai.

Chef Wang from the kitchen had already brought the food for the brothers to eat in advance and was preparing to come out. He carried a basket and was about to walk out when he met Mu Yizi, who was walking quickly towards him.

"Boss!" What are you doing in such a hurry? Was he hungry? Old Wang has not even finished cooking! "

Mu Yizi glanced at the food basket in his hands, then said to him, "I'm coming with you to deliver food to our brothers."

"Eh, boss, you don't need to personally make a trip for such a small matter, do you?" I'll go myself. " As for why Mu Youzi was following them, he was a bit surprised. It was just a meal, why did the boss want to go with him?

"Why are you blabbering so much? I said that I'm going with you so I'm going with you. Why do you have so many things to do? " As she said that, Mu Yizi's leg kicked at the toad, but the toad wasn't able to dodge and his leg got kicked.

After a wail, the son did not dare to speak anymore, and could only silently rub his leg, limping behind Mu Yizi.

Standing in front of the farmhouse, Mu Youzi looked at the farmland that seemed to be covered with mountains and plains. For a moment, she actually felt that such a life was rather boring.

"Sister Mu! Sister Mu! Abba told you to come in and eat with us! " A little girl with a ponytail tugged on the corner of Mu Yizi's clothes as she spoke to her while holding her finger to her mouth.

Mu Yizi shot her a glance and immediately slapped away the girl's hand that was placed next to her mouth. She said seriously, "Er Hua, how many times have I told you not to put your hand in your mouth?"

Er Hua quickly wiped her hands on her clothes and snickered at Mu Yizi, trying to subdue her with a "harmless" smile to prevent herself from being scolded further.

It was a pity that this move was already becoming immune to Mu Yizi.

She pinched Erhua's waist and pretended to be very fierce, "Don't think that Hehehe's just fine. If you still can't remember, then I'll chop your hand off and feed it to Erhuang!"

Similarly, to Erhua, this move had long since become immune to it.

"Hehehe, Sister Mu is the best. She wouldn't be so good to Erhua! "Besides, Er Hua is so cute. If she loses her hand, how will she get married?"

"You little girl, how old are you to be thinking of getting married? If you don't learn well at such a young age, you can't think of anything useful! " Hearing that, Mu Yizi poked a finger at Erhua's head, unable to hold back her laughter due to her childish words.

Er Hua touched his forehead and pouted as he felt wronged, "Er Hua is already seven years old, he's not young anymore! "Father said that Erhua will marry into a good family in the future. This way, I won't have to suffer like my father for the rest of my life."

Looking at Er Hua's innocent face, Mu Yizi helplessly sighed, patting the top of her head and said gently, "Er Hua, listen to what elder sister has to say." Girls don't necessarily have to marry. Although the children of other families marry at an age, why must we be like them? You may not understand these words yet, but remember, if you want to do something, do it. Although the road may be unusually hard to walk, it is better to try than never to do anything about it. "

Er Hua nodded as if she did not really understand. After a brief moment of thought, she smiled and said, "Then when Er Hua grows up, she will definitely marry mister!"

Why did this child still want to get married in the end? Mu Yizi felt even more helpless. It seemed that there were some things that needed to be learnt after she grew up and experienced a bit before she could understand them.

Who is sir? Mu Yizi suddenly realized that she had never heard of anyone Er Hua said she was going to marry before. There was only one Qingfeng Stronghold on the bronze mountain, and they were already very familiar with the families there. Er Hua was still young and didn't go down the mountain often. Every time she went, she would always be brought along by an adult. How come she didn't know of someone called "Mister"?

"Good Erhua, first tell Big Sister Mu, who is Teacher?" Mu Yizi crouched down and looked back at Erhua.

"It's that man in red clothes who came here with Uncle Mudskin this afternoon. He told us to learn culture and to read. Let us call him sir, and he will come to see us often and teach us to read! "Teacher is good-looking, Erhua likes you!"

After all, he was still young, so he could ask whatever he wanted. Upon hearing her talk about the man in red clothes, Mu Yizi's mind immediately recalled that person, who was dressed in red, with his hair hanging down lightly.

So it was him.

"Good Erhua, what else did mister say today?" She put away her thoughts and prepared to ask something else. That way, she would be able to understand a little more about Shen Bai.

"Er Hua, hurry!" The food has turned cold, hurry up and invite Clan Head Mu into the house! " At this moment, Er Hua's father was nearby, holding a bowl of rice and shouting.

"Alright, big sister Mu. If you have anything to say, wait for the end of the meal before saying it again. Abba is already anxious from waiting. Once the meal is cold, it will no longer taste good!" Erhua stretched out his small hand to grab onto Mu Yizi's hand and walked back, but Mu Yizi was so much taller than her, so her weight was out of proportion. No matter how much he tugged, Mu Youzi didn't move an inch.

Seeing how Er was trying to pull her back with all his might, and how his face was completely red, she couldn't bear to tease her any longer, so she followed her into the house.

"Aiya, chief Mu, I want to thank you!" I, Dazhuang, do not have any good wine or dishes, so this bowl of rice wine shall go first to you! " Er Hua's father held the wine bowl and drank it all without waiting for Mu Yizi's reply.

Mu Yizi was startled as she held onto her bowl, "Brother Dazhuang, what do you mean by that? "It's fine, why are you thanking me?"

"Sigh, isn't the young master that came here with the Mudskin brothers a member of your Qingfeng Stronghold? He came and taught them how to read, and even taught me my name! Originally, when we were farmers, we were always bullied when we didn't recognize a single word. I wanted Erhua and the others to go to school because I didn't have that kind of heart. It was a good thing that the young master said that he would teach Erhua if he was free! Right now, your Qingfeng Stronghold is our great benefactor! "

As he spoke, Da Zhuang actually began to cry. It was said that a man's tears wouldn't fall easily. Perhaps, they didn't have to reach the point of being sad. Farmers like Dazhuang and the others, who faced the sky every day with their backs against the earth and the injustice of the world, were always bullied by those rich and powerful lords. Since he couldn't read, he could only allow the other party to bid on the food. It was common to be cheated, but a year's hard work had gone to waste.

To them, being able to read was the best they could hope for. There was actually someone willing to teach them for free right now. Naturally, they were overjoyed.

With this, Mu Yizi finally understood why Da Zhuang wanted to thank her.

"Big bro Dazhuang, you misunderstood. That young master is the 'bride' that we stole from rich Meng yesterday. "He's not one of us from Qingfeng Stronghold."

As the saying goes, one cannot do anything without success. This was a gratitude that she should not have accepted. Naturally, she would not have accepted it.

"Ah?" Not someone from the Qingfeng Stronghold? I think that young master is a good person. Since he was taken back by you, why don't you stay. " Dazhuang spoke as if there was nothing wrong with it. However, in Mu Yizi's heart, Shen Bai was someone she could not let go.

"You sure know how to joke around with big brother Da Zhuang. He also has his own family, unlike our brothers in the Qingfeng Stronghold who are all homeless and pitiful. How can you not let them go home? "

"That's not right. That young master said he has no parents!" Had he already gotten married? Why would anyone kidnap someone to be their bride when they take a wife? " Da Zhuang's face was filled with disbelief, as if he thought that Mu Yizi was playing with him.

"Is that so? That's probably because I remembered wrongly! " Mu Yizi smiled and took a sip of her wine as she spoke. In his heart, however, he felt slightly happy, as if he was pleased with himself for grabbing hold of Shen Bai's weakness.

After three rounds of drinking, Mu Yizi's face turned red from the alcohol. She then brought the group back to the Qingfeng Stronghold.

"Why are you here?"
