"Are you really passing by?" the old man asked tremblingly.

"That's natural." Mu Liuyun nodded to him with a kind smile, "The three of us, brother and sister, and a few servants at home were going to visit relatives and friends in other places. When we passed here, the sun was scorching.

I am very thirsty and want to ask the old man for some water."

When she spoke, she deliberately imitated the accent of Fatty Kong, the magistrate of Taiping County. Thanks to the fact that when she was the manager of Jiangzhou Prefecture and joined the army, she always ran to Fatty Kong when she had nothing to do, and was entrusted by him to help him with things. Over time, she became obsessed with Fatty Kong for half her life.

The local accent that has not been changed can also be learned to be more vivid.

As expected, the white-haired old man didn't hear any flaws. When he heard that her accent was indeed not from the local area, he breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the fence, opened the door, and greeted them into the yard.

"If you come to my place to ask for something to eat, then I really can't do anything for you for a while, but drinking water will definitely be enough. There happens to be a well in my yard!" The old man said while limping.

Get ready to go to the well to fetch water for them.

Mu Liuyun hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Old man, go and sit aside! If you don't mind us being invisible, the bucket is by the well, and we can just fetch water and drink it ourselves!"

This old man was indeed very old. When he heard that they were fetching water by themselves and did not need his help to do this physical work, he readily agreed and then moved aside and sat there watching them busy fetching water.

drink.

Although Mu Liuyun is also a girl, she has been used to treating women as men for so many years. Shen Wei, the young apprentice who can knock her down with just one hand, is no exception to her, so the first bucket of water

After bringing it up, Yuan Mu scooped out a bowl for her. She took it and handed it to Shen Wei first.

Although they were trying to strike up a conversation with a villager by begging for water, it was true that they were thirsty after walking for so long. Shen Wei took the bowl of water and smiled at Mu Liuyun happily.

I drank half the bowl in one go.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu scooped up another bowl and handed it over. Mu Liuyun took it and quenched his thirst.

The old man watched from the side. After seeing this scene, he sighed and said to Yuan Mu, "Are you their brother?"

Yuan Mu nodded. Since Mu Liuyun just said that they were brothers and sisters, of course he had to follow the trend.

"Then you guys have a rest here, and then leave quickly!" The old man sighed and looked at Shen Wei, "The sooner you leave here, the better. Don't wander around here, dilly-dallying, you guys

But remember!

And your little girl, don’t show off like this. If you have some extra men’s clothes, put them on for her. It would be better if you could wear a hat to cover your face!”

The white-haired old man urged them to leave quickly, and asked Shen Wei to change into men's clothes and cover his head. Mu Liuyun understood his intention immediately, but he still had to pretend to be confused: "Old man,

Why does my sister get to wear men's clothing? What does this mean?"

"Oh, you are people passing by from out of town and don't know the situation here!" The white-haired old man probably couldn't bear to see them encounter any mishaps. Although he looked nervous, he still glanced at what was going on outside the yard.

, while lowering his voice and said to them, "We are here, there is evil. The river outside is said to have some kind of water demon or river demon, which can cause people to get strange diseases. There are also several wells in our village, wells for no reason."

The water turned into blood water!

If it hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have dared to let you come into my yard to drink water. I just thought that you guys from out of town don't know what's going on here. What if you accidentally fell into the evil trap?

Not too pathetic!

There is a lot of evil happening in this area. Some people found some great magician from nowhere and said that boys and girls were going to be sacrificed to the Dragon King. If boys and girls couldn't calm the Dragon King, then they would have to use unmarried girls.

Girl, go to the festival!

So when you come here, think about it, have you seen anyone? Have you seen any young ladies, young wives, or children walking around casually outside?"

Mu Liuyun shook his head: "It's true that I have never seen it!"

"Then it's over!" The old man sighed heavily, "At this point in time, who dares to let their women and children show up and walk around outside at the risk of being arrested and sacrificed to the Dragon King!

Let me tell you, those people have gone crazy and are red-eyed! But don’t catch the local boys, girls and girls. If you meet a group of out-of-towners, wouldn’t it be like a sheep falling into a tiger’s mouth!

So you listen to my advice, drink water and quench your thirst, then go as fast as you can, don’t delay!”

"This..." Mu Liuyun looked at the old man with a confused look on his face, "Old man, we were so tired on the road that we were tired of people and horses. We originally wanted to find a place to stay and rest in this area! Now the people have quenched their thirst, but the horses are exhausted.

We are still hungry and tired. Even if we want to walk, we can't walk fast! What should we do?

I wonder if there is any place here and if we can stay here for one night. We will leave as soon as we have a rest and we will never stay!”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands: "In our small village, no ordinary people would dare to keep you here now! I am the only old man who is alone. My son, wife, and my grandchildren have all run away.

So don’t be afraid of anything, otherwise I might not even have the guts to ask you to stay and drink water, let alone stay overnight!

Furthermore, there are so many of you and horses, and my little yard is so small. Even if I dare to let you live here, I don’t have that many rooms for you to live in! I think I really can’t help you with this.

That’s it! You’d better have a rest and leave!”

"Then what should we do... We are really tired today. Even if we push on, the horse can't move, and there is nothing we can do. If we fall into a place with no village, no store, then that's not the case.

Is it worse?

How about this, old man, please show us a clear path. Where else can we stay in a home or inn nearby? We came over from the county town, but the county town was closed, and even the inn refused to let us stay.

, we are really at our wits’ end!”

The old man was also very worried and thought for a while: "I don't have an idea about this... How about you ask Li Zheng in our village? See if he can help you come up with an idea. After all, his house is also big.

There are also many houses, and even if we stay overnight, there is always more money in his place than in mine!"
