The road is long, take it and cherish it

On May 382, 5 AD, it rained lightly.

In the early morning, feeling the raindrops falling on themselves, Yue and the others woke up before dawn. Although they set up simple tents, they still could not block the rainwater well.

After waking up, they packed up skillfully and ran towards the east with their bags on their backs. Xiaoyu said that they saw fireworks rising in the distance during the day yesterday, and there might be a village.

They ran like this in the rain for almost two hours. Yue, who had been holding Qianzhi's little hand and running in front, suddenly stopped and ran in the other direction.

"Let's go this way. There is a forest ahead of us. There is really a village. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."

Hearing this, Cuicui and the others also changed direction and continued to follow Yue.

Within a moment, they walked out of the forest. Cuicui and the others looked up and saw that there was indeed a village not far away.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the village one after another. Probably because of the rain, no villagers were seen at the entrance of the village.

Yue thought for a while and then led them to a larger house in the village. He went up and knocked on the door a few times, then took two steps back, protected Qianzhi behind him, and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, footsteps came from inside the house, and with the sound of branches, some old wooden doors were opened.

A young face appeared in front of Cuicui and the others. A woman came out of the room. She was much taller than Yue. They stood together. Yue had just reached the other person's shoulders. Visually, she was about 1.7 meters and a half tall. , according to Yue's mental perception, she was about 20 years old. What surprised Yue was that in her wide clothes, those muscular arms were full of surging power. This was definitely not It is something that ordinary women can have, but before Yue could continue to think about it, she heard the woman speak.

"Fresh faces, are you travelers passing by? Why did you come to see us?"

Yue took back her thoughts, nodded and said.

"Yes, a few of us are passing by here. Due to the weather, we want to find a place to stay to avoid the rain. I wonder if we can stay with you for a while. We can get food...well...we may not have it now. But when the weather gets better, I will go to the woods to catch some for you."

Hearing this, the woman smiled.

"So you are empty-handed now and are you going to pay on credit? But when the weather gets better, aren't you going to leave? If you run away and don't come back, what will we do?"

Hearing this, Yue nodded seriously. He felt that the woman's concerns were very reasonable. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"This problem is easy to solve. When we go out to hunt, we will leave two of you with you, so you don't have to worry about us escaping."

"Human?" The woman pointed at Cuicui and the others behind Yue in confusion.

"Are you referring to these companions behind you?"

Yue nodded seriously.

"Yes! We will not abandon each other, so you can rest assured."

Seeing the serious look on Yue's face, the woman couldn't help but smile and moved away.

"Haha, you are quite interesting. Come in quickly with your friends. It won't be good if you catch a cold. We are not short of food. I just teased you. You can stay in peace."

Seeing this, Yue bowed to him seriously.

"Thank you in advance. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yue, and the little girl behind me is Qianzhi, followed by Sister Cuicui, Xiaoyu, and Quan."

The woman's eyes swept across their faces one by one, and then she said.

"My name is Kong Sang, okay, come in quickly."

As she spoke, she shouted loudly into the room.

"Zhi, boil some hot water."

After calling, she smiled faintly and led Yue and the others through the small courtyard and came to the front hall. Xiaoyu, who was walking at the end, carefully closed the door before following the team to the front hall.

As soon as Yue and the others arrived in the front hall, they saw a taller man walking out with a bottle of water. He was wearing short sleeves and shorts that were soaked with sweat. You could clearly see his exposed and muscular body. The limbs and bulging muscles were something Yue had never seen before. Cuicui Xiaoyu and the others could not help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva when they saw those muscles.

The man smiled honestly and put the kettle on the table in the front hall.

"Kong Sang, this water was boiled not long ago and it's still hot. Please pour it for them. I'm not done yet. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he ran towards the back without looking back.

"There is really no way to take him."

Kong Sang said, bringing a few bowls to the side and pouring a cup of hot water for Yue and the others.

"You're welcome, come and take a sip first to get rid of the cold. That was my husband just now. He is like this. Don't mind."

Yue and the others also stepped forward and picked up the bowl and drank a sip of hot water. After taking a sip of hot water, they felt that the coldness accumulated in their bodies suddenly dissipated a lot, and their stomachs felt warm.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I can't think of anything I can repay you for. How about... let me calculate it for you. Is there anything you want to calculate?"

Hearing this, Kong Sang smiled disapprovingly, thinking that Yue was joking, she waved her hand and said.

"You're too polite. It's okay. Look, two of you are still so young..."

As she spoke, her eyes also caught sight of Qianzhi, who was holding a mask and drinking hot water, and her brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.

"What is the mask on this child's face?"

When Yue heard this, his whole body tensed up. How should he answer this question? Was it a lie? Just say you picked it up or made it for fun? Anyway, it's just a short stay and he will leave soon. It might be good for everyone if they don't know the truth.

But once a lie is spoken, there is no turning back. She treats herself so well, does he really want to deceive her?

After much hesitation, Yue finally spoke up.

"As you can see, that is the mask of a divine messenger, but what I can guarantee is that she is different from those aloof guys. She was forced to do it, and she has never done anything harmful to nature."

Kongsang nodded after hearing this. She came to Qianzhi's side and reached out to touch her head.

"Then she must have suffered a lot. She was still a child, so it must have been very hard to face this. I originally had a child, but it was a pity that he had a high fever after he was born, and he didn't survive it in the end. , and left, I can feel that you are a strong and kind child."

Qianzhi also put down the bowl in her hand and looked up at Kongsang's face with a hint of sadness. After a moment, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hug her gently, as if to comfort her.

Kong Sang was also shocked, and quickly knelt down and hugged Qian Zhi gently.
