Lu Beiyou cleaned up the accumulated snow in the backyard, then walked over to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Lu Beiyou opened the jar that was holding the herbs, only to realize that the lid of the jar seemed to have been opened by someone.

He could not help but be suspicious, the only people in the shop last night were him, the shopkeeper and Lao Kong.

Mu Qiuqiu had long since returned to his room to sleep soundly. According to past experience, unless he cooked a meal to call her, he would definitely be stuck in bed, unwilling to get out of bed.

It was even more impossible for Lao Kong to wake up from such a huge event yesterday, and this time, it was even more impossible for her to wake up in the middle of the night.

Could it be a ghost?

Lu Beiyou casually picked up a rolling pin on the stove, and checked the back of the kitchen vigilantly.

Suddenly, Lu Beiyou noticed that the firewood in the corner of the kitchen was moving, and anxiously walked over. Lu Beiyou held the rolling pin tightly in one hand and gently pushed away the firewood with the other.

Beneath the firewood, a young girl was sleeping soundly in the arms of a tattered old man.

The girl was dressed in a luxurious but tattered blue cotton jacket. Her hair was in a mess and her face was covered in black ash. She had a carrot in her mouth.

The old man leaned against a wall, a white flower hanging down his shoulders. His clothes were tattered, and one could clearly see the wounds on his body, and even the wounds were oozing blood.

The girl seemed to feel a chill in her sleep as she opened her eyes in a daze to see Lu Beiyou staring at her in astonishment.

Lu Beiyou asked in alarm: "Who are you?" As he spoke, he raised the rolling pin in his hand, ready to take action.

The young girl was about to speak when the carrot in her mouth fell to the ground. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great grievance and looked pitiful.

The young lady did not care about her image and climbed up from the old man's body. She pulled Lu Beiyou and cried: "Please! Please! "Save Grandpa Mo, save Grandpa Mo!"

Hearing that, Lu Beiyou frowned, he gently let go of the girl who was pulling his hand, walked to the old man, placed the rolling pin on the ground, and placed his hand on the old man's wrist.

His pulse was intermittent and he could not feel it for a few seconds. Apparently, there was no hope for him.

Just as Lu Beiyou was about to let go of his hands and turn around to inform the young girl of this grievous news, he suddenly realised that the warm feeling in his body had passed through his fingertips and into the old man's body.

Lu Beiyou was startled. The old man's pulse that was almost stopped just now had also calmed down gradually.

The young girl saw that Lu Beiyou was stunned and thought that the old man was hopeless.

Lu Beiyou was still in a daze, and upon hearing the young girl's crying, he turned his head and fiercely said, "Don't cry for me! If you continue to cry, then scram! "

The young girl seemed to be frightened and stopped crying for a moment.

Lu Beiyou also felt that his tone was a little heavy, and calmed himself down: "He's fine. Follow me."

Lu Beiyou carried the old man to his own house in the backyard and put him down.

The young girl also followed along, sobbing a few times as she asked timidly, "Is grandpa Mo really alright?"

Lu Beiyou nodded his head. The girl heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly fell towards the ground.

Lu Beiyou anxiously hugged onto her, using his fingers to measure her breath, he discovered that the young lady had only fainted.

Lu Beiyou tidied up his own room and placed the young girl beside the old man. Then he took a blanket and covered them up with it and sighed.

What was going on? Looking at the two person's clothes just now, it was most likely the two person Ding Hong was looking for yesterday. But today, he had discovered them hiding under the firewood in his own kitchen.

After all, their family's shopkeeper and Ding Family had already formed an enmity, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem for him to keep the two of them here.

However, that warm current had suddenly appeared in his body. What was it?

Who was that mysterious guy in his dreams, and why was he helping me?

"Cough, cough, cough!" Lu Beiyou turned to look at the direction of the voice, only to see that the old man had already sat up on the bed.

The old man opened his eyes and looked around warily. When he saw the young girl sleeping soundly beside him, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

After that, he calmly looked at his surroundings, and then closed his eyes to sense the injuries on his body, before opening his eyes and looking at Lu Beiyou.

He smiled and said, "It must be because this young hero saved my life. I do not need to thank him. I will do my best to repay this debt of gratitude."

Lu Beiyou nodded his head expressionlessly, and said: "You should rest here, I'll go cook something to eat, if there are any questions I'll come back to ask you later."

The old man nodded his head, Lu Beiyou turned and left the room, coming to the courtyard where he saw the crack that he had made with a piece of firewood.

Lu Beiyou placed a few steamed buns on top of the porridge, picked up a pickled cucumber from the pickled vegetable jar and placed it on a plate.

Then, he turned around and went into Lao Kong's room. First, he covered his ears and kicked Lao Kong's body.

Arriving at Mu Qiuqiu's room, they saw that Mu Qiuqiu had wrapped himself up like usual again, tightly, like a big bun.

Lu Beiyou shook his head and easily lifted up the blanket, waking up the little loli who was still sleeping soundly. Mu Qiuqiu rubbed her eyes in a daze, and said tenderly: "Beiyou, is the food ready? I'm so hungry. "

Lu Beiyou said: "It's done, but Shopkeeper. I just found the girl and the old man that Ding Hong was looking for yesterday under the firewood in the kitchen."

The little loli stretched her back and yawned, "It's alright, let's eat first. We can talk after dinner. I'm starving."

Lu Beiyou nodded his head, and pulled Lao Kong who was washing up to the kitchen, the two of them brought the food to the middle hall. Lu Beiyou went to his room to call the old man out for dinner, and Mu Qiuqiu also went to the middle hall after washing up.

The old man ate white porridge as a side dish, but his appearance was extremely unsightly after he sat down to eat it.

Lao Kong could not help but mutter: "He's even more useless than me."

After dinner, he looked around speechlessly.

The old man was the first to break the situation. "Understood," the three of them clasped their fists. This humble one is Mo Yang, I came from the Eastern Zhou Empire, and would like to thank everyone here for saving me. "

Mu Qiuqiu wiped his mouth, patted his stomach, burped and casually asked: "Who is that girl?"

The old man seemed to notice that among the three of them, the little loli in front of him was the most important, hence he explained to Mu Qiuqiu: "That is my granddaughter, Mo Han An."

Lu Beiyou also did not say anything. Lao Kong wanted to say something, but stopped and was pulled to the backyard by Lu Beiyou.

Lao Kong looked at Lu Beiyou with a troubled expression.

Lu Beiyou said: "Speak, what do you want to say?"

Lao Kong was conflicted for a moment, he went closer to Lu Beiyou and whispered, "Be careful of that old man, he is not simple."
