Boom, boom, boom!

knocking.

Although the sound was very soft, it was still very abrupt in the quiet village. Gu Tianya was keenly aware that a family not far away secretly opened the window.

However, just by opening a corner of the window, someone could vaguely see someone peeking behind the window.

Gu Tianya's heart moved and he pretended not to notice.

"The Goguryeo people have a stubborn character, but there is cowardice in their bones. They hide when they can and are not as curious as the Han people. However, the family just opened the window to peek. This situation is very different from the common sense of the Goguryeo people..."

He secretly wrote this down and watched quietly as the Queen of Korea continued to knock on the door.

Finally, the door of the house in front of me opened a corner.

I saw a woman hiding in the crack of the door, with a look of hunger on her face, and her eyes were full of vigilance, like a timid deer.

It wasn't until she saw the face of the person who knocked on the door that she seemed to relax a little.

But the vigilance in her eyes was still there, and her tone was also cautious, and she asked in a low voice: "Oh Mom, are you knocking on my door?"

Oh Ma is the honorific title given to female elders by the Korean people. It is similar to the auntie of the Central Plains people. It is often used as a title before greeting someone.

Queen Gaogou, who was responsible for knocking on the door, had a warm smile on her face and tried to keep her voice extremely soft. She also whispered: "We are travelers on the road. It is getting dark when we pass by the village. Because we are worried about the peace at night, we want to

Let me borrow a place to stay at your house."

Stay overnight?

The woman inside the door was obviously startled.

Then her expression changed, she seemed extremely cold, and she closed the door with a bang.

The Queen of Korea stood stunned on the spot.

The octogenarian and others were also stunned.

This shouldn't be the case. Goguryeo people shouldn't be like this.

In their impression, Goryeo women are as gentle as water, not only diligent and thrifty, but also helpful to others. Even if they are not willing to let people stay overnight, they should at least explain why? How can they slam the door directly and behave in a chilling way?

of indifference.

They couldn't figure it out and their faces were full of confusion.

On the contrary, An Yanbing came from a humble background. At this time, she seemed thoughtful and said softly: "To stay overnight, you must first provide people with accommodation. Secondly, you may have to provide hot water and food. Thirdly, you have to worry about the overnight stay at night.

Will he do evil?"

She said this not only to the three members of the same clan, but also to explain it to Gu Tianya. Obviously she was worried that Gu Tianya would be angry and punish the family.

The Queen of Korea sighed and said rather lonely: "It was the old woman's mistake. I forgot the difference between rich and poor. If a poor family lets others stay, it will be a burden to the family."

Gu Tianya suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'll knock on the door and try."

Everyone was stunned. An Yanbing lowered her voice and hinted: "Your appearance and temperament..."

Gu Tianya laughed heartily and said cheerfully: "What's the problem? Goguryeo people also have handsome men."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. At the same time, he paid attention to the distance from the corner of his eye and vaguely noticed that another house had opened its window again.

Gu Tianya became more certain about something and continued to pretend not to notice anything.

Because he knocked on the door loudly and had the attitude of not giving up until the door was opened, the woman in the house in front of him became obviously frightened and hid behind the door and shouted in a panic: "I don't have any money to pay, I have no money anymore."

Hand it over. Please leave. I’ll pretend I’ve never seen you.”

Huh?

The Queen of Korea and others all looked strange.

The octogenarian man seemed to have thought of something.

On the contrary, Gu Tianya was not surprised and continued to knock on the door vigorously and said with a smile: "Open the door, if you have money, we are travelers staying overnight, not the kind who come to collect money. Since we are staying overnight, we must give money."

.”

"Give me money? Give me money?"

"Really?"

The woman in the room had a trembling voice, obviously still in panic, but she opened the door again.

Gu Tianya directly reached into his arms and quickly took out a money bag. Then he shook the money bag gently, making a crisp and clanking sound.

The woman in the crack of the door obviously has bright eyes.

Gu Tianya looked gentle and continued to smile: "Look, we really need to pay. We will stay at your house tonight and pay for everything we eat and drink..."

"Give them all?"

The woman's eyes are brighter and she stares at the money bag.

There was a tinkling sound.

Gu Tianya struck while the iron was hot and shook his money bag.

The woman visibly swallowed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Tianya's face suddenly straightened up, and he seemed to be very embarrassed and said: "However, there is a question to make clear. I am not from Goguryeo, but a merchant from the Central Plains. I stayed elsewhere before.

When I was a Chinese, I often got into trouble because of my Han identity."

"Han Chinese?"

The woman was obviously startled.

At the same time, the expressions of An Yanbing and others behind Gu Tianya changed drastically. The four of them felt panic in their hearts. They did not expect that Gu Tianya would reveal his identity.

The octogenarian reacted the fastest and immediately protected Gu Tianya. The old fish general's eyes were sharp and a powerful evil spirit burst out from his whole body.

He was subconsciously nervous, fearing that Gu Tianya would be in danger.

In fact, there is no danger in this small village. There are no more than twenty households in the village. Even if every household has a male, there are only a dozen or so in total, and they are all villagers, not army sergeants, so this small village is simply not dangerous.

There is no threat. Even if the whole village rushes forward together, it will not be enough to defeat General Yu.

But he couldn't help but be nervous, because if something happened to Gu Tianya, many people would die.

He was nervous, and the Queen of Korea, An Yanbing and others were equally nervous. Even the middle-aged scholar with the most stubborn personality was subconsciously protecting Gu Tianya at this time.

However, at this moment, the door of the house suddenly opened in front of me, and I saw the Goguryeo woman with a face full of surprise, and said with excitement: "Brother Smida, a Han man, surprisingly, it's my brother Smida, a Han man. Come in quickly and agree to stay here."

.”

An Yanbing and others were stunned at the same time.

They stared at the scene in front of them, almost unable to believe that this was true.

When the Queen of Korea knocked on the door just now, the woman slammed the door. Later, when Gu Tianya asked for money, she only showed eagerness. Although she showed eagerness, she did not open the door.

Why did she change so drastically when she heard Gu Tianya's Han identity? Not only did she open the door directly, but she also called her brother affectionately.

You must know that the title "brother" is very unique, and it is not something that can be called casually among Goguryeo women.

…

The five-person travel team eagerly welcomed him into the house.

After entering the house, I discovered that this woman's family was indeed very poor. It was almost bare, with not even a grain basket on the wall. As for the bed used for sleeping, it was just a wooden board, placed directly on the ground, and it had been polished to a shiny finish.

From the brightness, it can be inferred that this wooden board has been sleeping for a long, long time, not half a year or a year, but at least five years.

Gu Tianya glanced at everyone and said with deep meaning: "Five years ago, she was already poor."

The implication is self-explanatory. This is telling An Yanbing and others a truth. The poverty of the woman in front of him was not caused by his capture of Goguryeo. He conquered Goguryeo half a year ago, and this woman has been poor for at least five years.

Even longer.

An Yanbing and others looked embarrassed and each sighed.

On the contrary, the woman showed no bitterness and kept looking at Gu Tianya longingly after entering the door. Suddenly she seemed to muster up the courage and cautiously approached Gu Tianya and said: "Brother Han, buy me. I am willing to go with you, no longer."

Become a Goguryeo. I am only nineteen years old this year, and there is no one in my family anymore. So I can make my own decision without asking for other people’s consent. Brother, if you buy me, I can make the decision myself..."

An Yanbing and others looked increasingly embarrassed, and the middle-aged scholar even wanted to roar loudly.

However, at this moment, a cry was heard from inside the house. It was obviously a child, but the cry was very weak.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked over there.

Gu Tianya pretended to frown, looked at the woman in front of him and said, "You just said there was no one at home, why is there a child crying?"

When the woman saw him frowning, she thought he was angry. She suddenly panicked and said anxiously: "The child is only one year old. She is not sensible. She doesn't remember things. Brother, if you buy me, I can

I will help you give birth to a child. I will also give you this doll so that she can be your Chinese child. She is only one year old and will not remember things."

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, almost about to cry. Suddenly she seemed to remember something, and her tone suddenly became excited and said: "My Niuniu is a girl. Girls don't have to worry about blood. Brother, if you buy me, Niuniu will follow your surname."

I will never be a Goguryeo again, and we, mother and daughter, will all be Han people, okay?"

This urgency is heart-wrenching.
