Chapter 546 For a remote and isolated small village, it is difficult to see outsiders, and Tang Yin and Yin Rou's appearance is too embarrassed, unkempt, and ragged, like two wild people.
Under the intently gaze of the villagers, Tang Yin and Yin Rou also felt awkward.
Yin Rou whispered, "It seems that the people here don't seem to welcome us. ” Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile: "Presumably we are treated as uninvited guests."
As he spoke, he walked up to an old man, bowed his hand very politely, and asked with a smile: "Old man, may I ask?"
As soon as he spoke, Lao Suo retreated as if frightened, and ran back to his courtyard, and with a bang, the courtyard door was slammed shut, and at the same time there was the sound of the latch being inserted.
The smile on Tang Yin's face stiffened, and he looked back at Yin Rou helplessly, and then he raised his eyes to look at the other old men.
As a result, the reaction of the people was similar to that of Lao Suo, and they ran back to their respective homes as if they had seen a ghost, and locked the doors tightly.
This situation made Tang Yin and Yin Rou almost wonder if they had become monsters now.
At this time, a young man with a hoe approached him.
This young man's legs and feet were a little bad, and he limped when he walked, and when he saw Tang Yin and Yin Rou, his face also showed surprise and consternation, but he didn't avoid them like the old people in the village.
Finally seeing a normal person, Tang Yin quickened his pace, stepped forward, and said to the young man, "Little brother, please stay." ” The young man stopped at a distance from Tang Yin, and although he didn't hide, his eyes were still full of vigilance when he looked at Tang Yin.
He asked with a solemn face, "Who are you?"
"Don't be afraid, little brother, we just happened to be passing by here."
Tang Yin smiled kindly.
As soon as he heard him say that he was passing by, the young man was obviously relieved, and his guarded affection was also relaxed a lot, he walked up to Tang Yin, with a simple smile on his face, and said: "If you don't say it, I thought you two were mountain bandits."
As he spoke, he looked at Yin Rou behind Tang Yin again.
Yin Rou's current appearance is similar to Tang Yin's, her face is black and white, and her hair is scattered, and she can't tell whether she is a man or a woman.
Tang Yin looked down at himself, shrugged helplessly, and asked, "Little brother, what is the name of this village?"
"Wujiazhuang."
The young man said: "The people in this village are basically surnamed Wu, my name is Wu Shi, everyone calls me Shi" The young man is very talkative, and he is also straightforward, so he doesn't need Tang Yin to ask questions, and he reports his family background first.
Tang Yin was happy, this young man was really simple enough He thought about it and asked, "Which country is this?"
"Ah" The young man was dumbfounded by his question, and he didn't even know which country he was in The young man was stunned for a while, and Fang smiled and said, "This is the Jade Country." ” Oh, Tang Yin and Yin Rou were taken aback, in the past month, the two of them have walked from the Wind Country to the Jade Country, which is incredible.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two of them, the young man smiled and asked, "Listening to the accent, you don't look like a native of the Jade Kingdom, where did you come from?"
"Windy Country" The young man of the "Wind Country" had a brighter eye, a smile on his face that was even thicker, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be a person from the Wind Country" The two countries are allies, and the monarchs of the two countries still have a marriage contract, so the Jade people have a natural affinity for the Wind People.
"You two haven't eaten yet, let's go and sit down at my brother's house," the young man greeted warmly.
Tang Yin rubbed his hands and said, "Then why are you embarrassed to disturb?"
The young man named Wu Shi said: "It's not easy to go out, you're welcome, not to mention that the two of them are wind people, everyone is a family."
As he spoke, he shouted to the surroundings again: "Don't be afraid, they are not mountain bandits, are they passers-by who happened to pass by our village, or are they from the Wind Country."
With his shouting, the doors of the houses on both sides of the village road that were originally tightly closed opened one after another, and the old people who were scared home just now all walked out of the house, and people turned their heads and ears, pointing at Tang Yin and Yin Rou, and they didn't know what they were discussing, but the hostility on people's faces had been swept away.
"There are very few outsiders in the village, and everyone may think of you as mountain bandits."
Wu Shi smiled at Tang Yin and Yin Rou, and continued: "This big brother and this" He originally wanted to call Yin Rou little brother, but it can be seen that her dirty clothes are like a skirt, and he doesn't know what to call her.
Tang Yin continued: "My name is Tang Chu, and this is my wife, Yin Qing."
He casually thought of a fake name for Yin Rou.
Yin Rou's face turned red, not because of the fake name Tang Yin gave her, but because of the title she pressed.
"It turned out to be Mrs.
Sister-in-law, disrespectful, disrespectful, let's go quickly, the insider must have prepared the meal now."
Wu Shi waved his hand to Tang Yin and Yin Rou again and again.
Listening to him speak politely, not quite like an ordinary mountain village wild man, Tang Yin asked curiously: "Has Brother Wu been farming in the village all along?"
Wu Shi waved his hand and said: "I studied for a few years, and then I joined the army, and then I was injured in the leg, and I couldn't continue to stay in the Chinese army, so I could only return to my hometown to farm."
As he spoke, he tapped his lame leg.
He said it easily, but Yin Rou felt sad when she heard it.
Such a kind young man, now lame, how to live in the future She whispered: "Soldiers who have been wounded on the battlefield should be better cared for." ” Wu Shi couldn't see Yin Rou's appearance clearly, but when he heard her words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said a beautiful voice, like a silver bell.
He grabbed his hair and said with a smile: "The imperial court has taken good care of us wounded soldiers, and now not only is the field tax exempted, but even the taxes are also exempted, even if the land is planted less than others, the remaining harvest is much more than others."
Tang Yin nodded understandingly, the Jade Imperial Court has always been benevolent and implements the policy of governing the country with softness.
He heard Wu Shi mention the mountain bandits more than once, and asked casually: "Brother Wu, are there a lot of mountain bandits in this area, why don't you report to the officials to encircle and suppress them?"

Wu Shi sighed and said: "I have reported to the official, but it is useless, Longmen Mountain is too big, boundless, the mountain bandits are hiding, where do the officials and soldiers go to find it, as soon as the officials and soldiers leave, they will come back again, and they will rob more fiercely than before, and the government has nothing to do with them." ” It turns out that this is Longmen Mountain.
Tang Yin didn't know until now that he and Yin Rou were passing through Longmen Mountain.
He had only seen this name on the map before, and it was Longmen Mountain that separated the southern border between Yuguo and Modi.
"What's the closest city to here?"
Wu Shi said without thinking: "The nearest one belongs to Daping City, but it is also one or two hundred miles away from our Wujiazhuang to Daping City."
Tang Yin answered, and knew in his heart that as long as he entered the city and found the official mansion of the Jade Kingdom, then everything would be easy to say, not only could he contact the Jade Kingdom court, but he could also let the Sanshui Army and the Flying Eagle Army stationed in the Jade Kingdom pick him up.
While speaking, Wu Shi took Tang Yin and Yin Rou back to his home.
This is a small courtyard located at the edge of the village, the courtyard wall is a wooden fence more than half a person high, looking inside, there is a small adobe house in the courtyard, in the yard, there are some chickens and ducks and other poultry.
"I'm back" Wu Shi pushed open the courtyard door, shouted, and let Tang Yin and Yin Rou into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered, out of the adobe house came a young woman, who looked plain in appearance, looked about the same age as Wu Shi, and wore a shabby dress, but very clean, and looked very neat.
Obviously, this is Wu Shi's insider.
Seeing that Wu Shi had brought back two beggars who were working like they were fleeing from the famine, the young woman was stunned and asked, "These two are?"
"It's a wind man" Wu Shi said: "These two eldest brothers and sisters-in-law happened to pass by our village, and they haven't had dinner yet, so I took the eldest brother and sister-in-law back to our house." ” After a pause, he said again: "Xiujun, go 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 a little reluctant in her heart, after all, she was not a relative, and her family was not rich, so why did she send clothes and invite people to dinner.
Yin Rou was very clever, and seeing the young woman's dissatisfaction, she pondered for a moment, then took out a small cloth bag from Tang Yin's arms and opened it, which was full of shiny gold and jade jewelry.
She took out a golden hairpin from it, handed it to the young woman, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, take the liberty of begging for mercy, this is a little bit of my husband and my heart."
As she spoke, she also looked at Tang Yin beside her.
The jewelry on Yin Rou's body is an ordinary object, even if it is a golden hairpin, it is also carefully carved out by skilled craftsmen, not only unique and beautiful appearance, but also inlaid with several crystal clear gemstones, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as worth a thousand gold.
The young woman had never seen such a beautiful hairpin in her life, her eyes were almost straight, and she couldn't help but reach out to pick it up, at this time, Wu Shi stepped forward quickly, opened her outstretched hand, looked angry, and said in a deep voice: "Fengguo is kind to Yuguo, Fengren and Yuren are a family, I just invited my eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat some coarse tea and light rice, you still want other people's things, your conscience was eaten by dogs" The young woman, whose face was flushed with tears in her eyes, rubbed the back of her beaten hand, and turned and ran into the house in a huff.
Wu Shi glared at her fiercely, then turned around and smiled apologetically at Tang Yin and Yin Rou, and said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed, the insiders are ignorant, they haven't seen the world, and if they are offended, don't be surprised by the big brother and sister-in-law." ” When he said this, Tang Yin and Yin Rou were even more embarrassed.
Yin Rou looked at the golden hairpin in her hand and said, "This hairpin is what I sincerely want to give to my sister-in-law, Brother Wu misunderstood" "If there was no Wind Country, the Jade Country would have been destroyed at the beginning, my leg was also crippled by the Mo people at that time, the Wind Country not only saved the Jade Country, but also helped me avenge it, the younger brother can only entertain the two with coarse tea and light rice today, he is already very unhappy, how can he still ask for the things of the eldest brother and sister-in-law" Yin Rou still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tang Yin, who said with a smile: "Since Brother Wu has already said so, let's not live up to Brother Wu's kindness and put things away":
