Yan Ye's movements were concealed, and no one noticed his abnormality.
After using the shortest amount of time to return to his normal state, Yan Ye then gave the Old Madame Xu a martial arts greeting, ”My name is Yan Ye, and I was just passing by. If you want to stay here, I wonder if Old Madame can help. ”
was stunned for a moment the moment he opened his mouth.
Just because Yan Ye's voice sounded so hoarse and harsh, coupled with the burn marks on his face, it was enough for others to be sure that his throat wasn't good because of a previous burn.
When Old Madame Xu heard Yan Ye's words, she actually subconsciously wanted to reject them.
This was because they were all family members, and the sudden appearance of someone who was obviously from the martial arts world was truly worrisome.
Moreover, their Xu Family was not without enemies, and the appearance of a martial artist at this time, made Old Madame Xu feel uneasy.
However, she heard it clearly just now. Although Yan Ye's voice was hoarse, it sounded like someone from the capital.
”Are you from Beijing?” Old Madame Xu did not answer Yan Ye's question. Instead, she opened her mouth and asked.
When Yan Ye heard the words of the Old Madame Xu, he did not hesitate and immediately replied, ”My ancestor is from the capital, and the four seas are now my home.”
As soon as Yan Ye finished speaking, Old Madame Xu shook her head and rejected Yan Ye's request. After all, she did not dare to take the life of her entire family as security.
But Yan Ye seemed to have guessed that the Old Madame Xu was going to reject him, and immediately laughed in shame: ”I have not eaten for an entire day, I wonder if you could help me cook? ”If you eat your fill at night, you must go to another place to find another place to stay.”
Since he had already rejected Yan Ye's offer once, this time, when Yan Ye would speak up again, Old Madame Xu would not be able to do so.
Especially when he saw that Yan Ye was not that old, the Old Madame Xu thought that it could be considered fated to be in the capital where his ancestors lived. In the end, he agreed to let a servant bring him to find the inn's shop in the backyard.
Seeing that the Old Madame Xu had agreed to his request, Yan Ye was very happy. After thanking him, he followed the servant who was leading the way to the backyard himself.
After Yan Ye left, Xu Shiqiu looked at Old Madame Xu and said: ”I didn't recognize that his accent was that of someone from the capital.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu thought for a moment before continuing, ”In this town, there is only one inn, he is a person from the martial arts world, she should be safe.
Xu Shiqiu was saying these words for Dong Shu's benefit, because he noticed that when Yan Ye opened his mouth a moment ago, his own Young Girl seemed to want to say something.
But in front of the Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu did not say much. After the two of them returned to the house after dinner, Xu Shiqiu asked about this matter.
”Your wife seemed to want to say something just now?”
”Yes.” Dong Shu did not expect her to notice her reaction just now. After she replied him shyly, she continued, ”I wanted to tell him that the shop in the backyard is staying here, and that I want him to find a place to stay for me.”
After saying all that, when Dong Shu saw that his master had not misunderstood, she heaved a sigh of relief and continued: ”I just thought that the shop owner was a local after all. With their help, finding a place to stay would not be difficult.”
”My wife is kind, I understand.” Xu Shiqiu naturally saw the anxiety in Young Girl's eyes for an instant. Seeing such a Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu intentionally asked: ”My wife has been staring at this Yan Ye, does he look good?”
When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she knew that he was just teasing her. With a deliberate cold snort, she finally opened her mouth: ”This Yan Ye has half her face covered, how can I tell how he looks like? Furthermore, even if he wasn't wearing a mask, and had a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, in my eyes, she still wouldn't be as beautiful as my husband. ”
Of course, Dong Shu knew that what Xu Shiqiu had said just now was just teasing, so she spoke directly and said the words from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu felt his heart burning, he looked at the drowsy Yuanxi and asked: ”My wife, can I let Yuanxi sleep with my mother tonight? You haven't rested properly for many days, so you should sleep a bit more tomorrow morning. Otherwise, when Yuanxi makes trouble for you tomorrow morning, you won't be able to sleep well again. ”
Xu Shiqiu was not wrong, on their journey earlier, they would encounter towns and cities everyday.
Thus, when they did not encounter any towns, they would either stay at the villagers' houses or sleep inside Mule Cart s.
Before arriving at this town, Xu Shiqiu and the others had not settled in the city for quite a few days. As a result, Yuanxi had always slept with Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu during the past few days.
After all, they didn't live in good conditions, and so the conditions of the servants were definitely even worse.
They had met a small town today, and didn't know how to deal with it in the next few days. Therefore, Xu Shiqiu gave some advice, which after thinking for a bit, Dong Shu agreed to.
After Ling Xiang was called over to carry Yuanxi away, Xu Shiqiu ordered the other servants to bring the hot water over.
