V2.Chapter 546

For a remote and closed village, it is difficult to see outsiders, and Tang Yin and Yin Rou look too embarrassed, unkempt and ragged, like two savages.

With the eyes of the villagers, Tang Yin and Yin Rou felt uncomfortable. Yin Rou whispered, "it seems that people here don't seem to welcome us."

Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile, "we must have been regarded as uninvited guests by others." With these words, he walked up to an old man, bowed politely and asked with a smile, "old man, excuse me..."

As soon as he spoke, the old man stepped back as if frightened and ran back to his yard. With a bang, the gate of the yard was closed heavily, and there was a sound of inserting the door latch.

The smile on Tang Yin's face was stiff, and he looked back at Yin Rou helplessly. Then he raised his eyes to look at other old people. As a result, people's reaction was similar to that of the old man. As if they had seen a ghost, they ran back to their homes and locked the door tightly.

This situation made Tang Yin and Yin Rou almost doubt whether they had become monsters now.

At this time, a young man carrying a hoe came up.

The young man's legs and feet were a little bad, and he limped when he walked. When he saw Tang Yin and Yin Rou, his face also showed surprise and consternation, but he didn't avoid it like the old people in the village.

Finally, seeing a normal person, Tang Yin accelerated his steps, stepped forward, arched his hands to the young man and said, "little brother, please stay."

The young man stopped far away from Tang Yin. Although he didn't hide, his eyes looking at Tang Yin were still full of vigilance. He asked solemnly, "you... Are you..."

"Don't be afraid, little brother. We just happened to pass by here." Tang Yin smiled kindly.

As soon as he said that he was passing by, the young man was obviously relieved, and his guarded affection eased a lot. He walked up to Tang Yin with a simple smile on his face and said, "if you didn't say it, I thought you two were mountain bandits!"

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Rou behind Tang Yin. Yan Rou now looked like Tang Yin. Her face was black and white, and her hair was scattered. She couldn't tell whether she was male or female.

Tang Yin looked down at himself and shrugged helplessly. He asked, "little brother, what's the name of this village?"

"Wu Jiazhuang." The young man said, "the people in this village are basically surnamed Wu. My name is Wu Shi. Everyone calls me stone!" Young people are talkative and straightforward. They don't need Tang Yin to ask questions. First report their family background.

Tang Yin is happy. This young man is really simple! He thought for a moment and then asked, "this is... Which country is it?"

"Ah?" The young man was tongue tied when asked by him. He didn't even know which country he was in! The young man was stunned for a while. Fang said with a smile, "this is the jade country."

Oh! Tang Yin and Yin Rou were startled. It was incredible that they went from the wind country to the jade country in the past month. Looking at the surprised look of the two of them, the young man smiled and asked, "you don't look like a native of the jade country according to your accent. Where did you come from?"

"Wind country!"

"Wind country?" As soon as the young man's eyes brightened, the smile on his face became thicker and said excitedly, "it's from Fengguo!" The two countries are allies, and the monarchs of the two countries are still engaged in marriage, so the jade people have a natural sense of closeness to the wind people.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go and sit at my little brother's house!" The young man greeted warmly.

Tang Yin rubbed his hands and said, "that's so funny to disturb!"

The young man named Wu Shi said, "it's not easy to go out. You're welcome. Besides, they are windy people. Everyone is a family!"

As he spoke, he shouted around, "don't be afraid. They are not mountain bandits. They are passers-by who happened to pass by our village, or people from Fengguo!"

With his cry, the originally tightly closed doors on both sides of the village road opened one after another. The old people who had just been scared home walked out of the house. People whispered and pointed at Tang Yin and Yin rou. They didn't know what they were talking about, but the hostility on people's faces had been swept away.

"There are few outsiders in the village. Everyone may regard you as mountain bandits." Wu Shi smiled at Tang Yin and Yin Rou and continued: "this big brother and this..." he wanted to call Yin Rou little brother. It can be seen that her dirty clothes are like a skirt, and he doesn't know what to call her.

Tang Yin said, "my name is Tang Chu. This is my wife, Yin Qing." He casually thought of a pseudonym for Yan rou. Yan Rou blushed, not because of the pseudonym Tang Yin gave her, but because of the title he gave her.

"It's my wife. Disrespect! Let's go. My wife must have finished the meal now." Wu Shi waved to Tang Yin and Yin rou.

Tang Yin asked curiously, "has brother Wu always been farming in the village?"

Wu Shi waved his hand and said, "I've read for several years. Later, I filled the army. Later, I hurt my leg. I can't continue to stay in the Chinese army. I can only go back to my hometown to farm." While talking, he also knocked on his lame leg.

He spoke easily, but Yan Rou heard a burst of sadness in her heart. Such a kind-hearted young man is lame now. How will he live in the future? She whispered: "the wounded soldiers in the battlefield should be better taken care of."

Wu Shi couldn't see Yan Rou clearly, but when he heard her voice, he couldn't help but be stunned and said in secret that a beautiful voice was like a silver bell.

He grabbed his hair and said with a simple smile: "the imperial court has taken good care of our wounded soldiers. Now not only the land tax is exempted, but also the tax is exempted. Even if the land is planted less than others, the remaining harvest is much more than others!"

Tang Yin nodded with understanding. The court of the jade Kingdom has always implemented the policy of benevolence and the policy of governing the country with softness. After hearing that Wu Shi mentioned mountain bandits more than once, he casually asked, "brother Wu, are there many mountain bandits in this area? Why not report to the officials for encirclement and suppression?"

Wu Shi sighed and said, "I reported to the official, but it's useless. Longmen Mountain is too big and boundless. Mountain bandits hide. Where can the official Army find them? Once the official Army leaves, they will come back and rob more fiercely than before, and the official government can't take them."

So this is Longmen Mountain. Tang Yin didn't know until now that he and Yin Rou passed through Longmen Mountain. He had only seen the name on the map before. It was Longmen mountain that separated the southern border between Yuguo and modi.

"What is the nearest city?"

Wu Shi said without thinking, "the nearest one is Daping city. However, it's one or two hundred miles from our Wujiazhuang to Daping city!"

Tang Yin responded and knew it well. As long as he entered the city and found the government of the jade state, everything would be easy to say. He could not only contact the court of the jade state, but also let the Sanshui army and the flying eagle army stationed in the territory of the jade state pick him up.

While talking, Wu Shi took Tang Yin and Yin Rou back to his home.

This is a small yard at the edge of the village. The wall of the yard is a wooden fence more than half a person high. Looking inside, there is a small adobe house in the yard. In the yard, there are also some chickens, ducks and other poultry.

"I'm back!" Wu Shi pushed open the gate, shouted, and let Tang Yin and Yin Rou into the courtyard.

As soon as they came in, a young woman came out of the adobe house. She looked plain. She was similar to Wu Shi in age. Her clothes and skirts were worn out, but very clean. The whole person looked very neat.

Obviously, this is Wu Shi's wife. Seeing that Wu Shi also brought back two dirty beggars who looked like fleeing from famine, the young woman was stunned and asked, "these two are..."

"It's the wind man!" Wu Shi said, "these two eldest brothers and sisters happened to pass by our village. Before I had dinner, I took them back to our house."

After a pause, he said again, "Xiujun, go and boil some water, let the eldest brother and sister-in-law clean their bodies, and bring two sets of clean clothes by the way."

The young woman was reluctant. After all, she was not related to her family and her family was not rich. Why did she send clothes and invite people to dinner. Yin Rou was very clever and saw the young woman's dissatisfaction. She pondered for a moment, took out a small cloth bag from Tang Yin's arms and opened it. It was full of glittering gold and jade jewelry. She took out a gold hairpin from it, handed it to the young woman, and said with a smile, "sister-in-law, take the liberty to beg for mercy. This is a little intention of my husband and me." While talking, she also looked at Tang Yin around her.

The jewelry on Yan Rou's body was not an ordinary object. Even a gold hairpin was carefully carved and chiseled by a skilled craftsman. It was not only unique and beautiful, but also inlaid with several crystal clear gemstones, which was worth thousands of gold.

The young woman had never seen such a beautiful hairpin in her life. Her eyes were almost straight and she couldn't help reaching out to pick it up. At this time, Wu Shi stepped forward quickly, opened her hand and looked angry, Shen said in a deep voice, "the country of wind is kind to the country of jade. The people of wind and jade are a family. I just invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat some plain food. You want other people's food. Your conscience has been eaten by the dog!"

The young woman, flushed with reprimand and tears in her eyes, rubbed the back of her red hand and angrily turned and ran into the house.

Wu Shi glared at her fiercely. Then he turned back and smiled apologetically at Tang Yin and Yin Rou and said, "brother and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. My wife is ignorant and has never seen the world. Don't be surprised if there is something offending her."

Tang Yin and Yin Rou were even more embarrassed when he said so. Yan Rou looked at the gold hairpin in her hand and said, "I sincerely want to give this hairpin to my sister-in-law. Brother Wu misunderstood..."

"If there were no wind country, the jade country would have destroyed the country at the beginning. My leg... Was beaten and mutilated by Mo people at that time. The wind country not only saved the jade country, but also avenged me. I'm sorry that I can only entertain you with plain food today. How can I ask for things from my brother and sister-in-law?"

Yin Rou still wanted to speak, but Tang Yin stopped her. The latter said with a smile, "since brother Wu has said so, let's live up to brother Wu's kindness and put it away!"
