In a big village.

After dinner, the villagers gathered in the streets in small groups as usual, chatting, and it was very lively.

"Look, Liu Er is back." One of the villagers cooed and said.

"Do you think he brought back red lotus seeds?"

"How is it possible? The red lotus seeds only produce a dozen at a time. How could they be given away so easily, let alone Liu Er."

"..."

Seeing Liu Guangqiu's figure appearing at the head of the village, the villagers gathered on the street couldn't help but whisper.

Because of Liu Guangqiu's second-rate style in the past, they were all used to calling him "Liu Er". Of course, a few years ago, when Liu Guangqiu's family was rich, this title was always used behind his back, but now, the name Liu Er has replaced Liu Er.

The words Liu Guangqiu were mentioned. After all, the family's dilapidated house with bare walls would not arouse any awe in them.

"Liu Er is back?" Someone greeted with a smile.

After Liu Guangqiu came out of the farm, he held two lotus seeds tightly in his hands and walked at a leisurely pace. He was in a comfortable mood and did not take this title seriously.

If it were normal times, I would laugh and curse if I couldn't say it.

"Well, I'm back!" Liu Guangqiu replied angrily.

"Hey, you seem to be in a good mood. Did you bring back red lotus seeds?" a voice joked.

Liu Guangqiu smiled even more proudly, did not speak, just raised his chest and raised his head, and showed the two lotus seeds in his hand to the surrounding villagers.

Although it was already evening and night began to fall, everyone still saw two red things shining in his hands.

Now everyone was stunned. This Liu Er actually brought back red lotus seeds, and there were two of them.

You must know that red lotus seeds are not only delicious and delicious, but also very beneficial to the body. They are definitely not accessible to ordinary people like them.

Even the wealthy merchants who make them feel superior are difficult to get one, because every year when the red lotus seeds come out, they are bought by the meritorious dignitaries of the Imperial Capital.

Only this year is an accident. I heard that the farm has just changed its owner. For some unknown reason, none of the distinguished and powerful people who came to buy and sell in the past years came.

Before, when Liu Guangqiu went to the farm to beg for a few red lotus seeds, all the villagers laughed. How could it be possible? Even though Liu Guangqiu usually went around touting how good his relationship with the new manager of the farm was, everyone knew he was bragging.

Could it be that bragging has made you crazy now? Just when you are a guest at the farm?

Moreover, they all heard that the cavalry suddenly came to the farm today. They heard that they were brought by the owner of the farm, who was obviously a powerful nobleman.

There were also some well-meaning villagers who advised Liu Guangqiu not to go, but before he could finish speaking, Liu Guangqiu had already walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, this Liu Er is quite pitiful. In the past, our village's wealth was second to none, but in order to find Liu Yi who ran away from home, all of Nuo Da's wealth was scattered.

"Yes, but although I still like to brag, I finally no longer have the same second-rate temperament as before."

"Yes, after all, I have started to take care of my family, and I have also started to show sympathy for my mother-in-law..."

As if thinking of Liu Guangqiu's situation under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers, everyone couldn't help but shudder. They asked themselves if they didn't have the courage.

All the villagers gathered at the head of the village did not notice that a figure was quietly entering the village without a trace, following Liu Guangqiu from a distance.

This figure seems to be walking slowly step by step, but there is no trace of each step. It seems to be completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

This figure is none other than Jiang Yi, but now he has a different face. He has an ordinary appearance. Even if he is placed in a crowd, it is difficult to attract others' attention.

Jiang Yi did not use the art of disguise, but wore a disguise mask.

This mask was given by Jiang Zhongbao to the original owner of this body, Xiao Yizi. The other person would usually use this mask to disguise himself as Xiao Yizi, and then return to his true self when needed, acting as Jiang Zhongbao's stand-in.

However, Jiang Yi did not look like Xiao Yizi at this time, which was also a new discovery for Jiang Yi.

This disguise mask didn't seem to be an extraordinary thing. He had always thought it was just an ordinary mask that could only disguise himself as a little alien.

Therefore, it has not been used. After all, he plans to keep Xiao Yizi's identity for great use in the future.

But after relying on the Yinshan Secret Realm Token to deduce the "Bao Refining Art", he tried to refine the mask, and he actually succeeded.

In addition to the "little alien" appearance, there is another appearance.

He was unremarkable, as if he were invisible among the crowd. Jiang Yi was very satisfied with his appearance.

In other words, from now on, Jiang Yi can have three identities, one is Jiang Yi, the king of Yijun, the other is the little Yizi who has disappeared from everyone's sight, and the last one is the current one.

Jiang Yi did not continue to follow Liu Guangqiu, who had stopped bragging to the villagers, but directly passed him and entered a small courtyard according to the memory left by the original owner.

This small courtyard is very simple and can even be described as dilapidated. It has only five simple main rooms and not even a formal side room, because this small courtyard was only used as a firewood yard before.

Next door to this small courtyard is a large mansion.

Although it is only two entrances and two exits, it is definitely second to none in this large village and even in the surrounding villages.

This large mansion was Liu Guangqiu's previous residence.

But later, because he was looking for his son and dissipated all his family wealth, the house was sold.

Jiang Yi entered the courtyard quietly. Next to the well in the small courtyard, there was a young woman dressed in simple clothes. She was the married sister of the original owner. She must have come here specially to take care of the confinement child.

Next to them were girls aged seven or eight and eleven or twelve years old respectively. They were wearing patched clothes and had a sly look on their faces.

The older one was dozing off little by little, while the seven or eight-year-old one was looking at the door intently, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Sister, when dad brings back the red lotus seeds and stews the soup, will he not let us drink it?" The little girl swallowed, looking a little worried.

When the young woman who was doing laundry heard this, she glanced up at her little sister with a smile, and said angrily: "Then you cry and make trouble. It shows how cruel Daddy is."

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded seriously.

The young woman smiled bitterly and shook her head. How could she really bring back red lotus seeds? However, she was very satisfied that her father had such a heart. At least he knew he cared about this family.

She prefers her current home to her previous life of fine clothing and fine food. After all, she has a father whom she can see and touch.

Jiang Yi didn't make a sound and sneaked into the bedroom.

I saw a pale woman sleeping soundly on the bed, with a newborn baby in her arms next to her. Probably due to malnutrition during pregnancy, she was only about 40 centimeters tall and looked very thin.

And on the bedside, a portrait hangs there, and the eyebrows look very much like the current Jiang Yi.

"Xiaoyi..."

The sleeping woman muttered something in her sleep, and a line of tears fell from the corner of her eyes, wetting the pillow.
