"That's not true, she doesn't live here. She is also kind-hearted, and she actually cares about the life and death of an old woman like me." The old lady sighed, "Have you eaten anything? This is a wasteland, and I still have some rice at home. Make some soup."
"No, we have brought dry food. We can just borrow your stove and use it." Luo Nanzhou said immediately.
The old lady nodded: "Okay, okay, if you don't have a place to stay tonight, just stay here. There's no one here. It's the same wherever you live."
After saying that, she picked up the crutch and walked slowly to the inner room: "Don't come out at night."
Everyone started free activities, and Mu Yao found Shen Wuchuan: "I always feel a little strange. The old man has lived for a long time. Let's go and ask."
Chen Wuchuan nodded: "Senior sister, have you noticed that this inn is protected?"
Mu Yao said: "We discovered it, and they must have discovered it too."
But they didn't ask, they must have other ideas.
After a while, Chen Wuchuan came to the grandma's door with a bowl of rice soup: "Grandma, our rice is ready, let's drink it together."
The door to the room was opened, and Shen Wuchuan smiled eagerly at her: "I'm not disturbing you."
Chen Wuchuan entered the room and put the rice soup on the table. Generally, the elderly would like such an enthusiastic young man: "Hey, don't bother me. Come in and sit down."
Mu Yao came in with the food: "We also cooked some vegetables, you can try to get used to it."
A smile appeared on the old woman's face: "I've seen you two inseparable from the beginning. Are you brother and sister?"
Just as Mu Yao was about to explain, Shen Wuchuan said seriously: "She is my wife."
Click!
Mu Yao turned to stone again.
She looked at Chen Wuchuan in confusion, and Shen Wuchuan blinked at her and whispered: "We want to ask questions, and senior sister doesn't want to return without success, right?"
Talking about senior siblings may cause complications, but they won't become husband and wife, right?
It is seriously suspected that Shen Wuchuan is using public services for personal gain!
The old woman was full of smiles: "It's my fault that my old woman has bad eyesight and didn't see it."
Chen Wuchuan said expectantly: "My wife has always been particularly interested in people's local customs. You have lived here for so long, can you tell us more about the stories here?"
"How can I tell stories? I'm just retelling old stories from the past." She smiled and shook her head.
Mu Yao thought of the two people on the city wall and asked: "I remember that there used to be a city lord in Whistling City. He was so powerful that he could defeat thousands of armies with one sword. Then he disappeared for no reason. Do you know where he went?"
The old lady paused her hands and said quietly: "It's an old saying, and it's a bad fate."
"That happened a long time ago. No one knew where she came from. Everyone only knew that she was very strong, so strong that even the monsters on the border were afraid of her. Logically speaking, such a powerful person should have no weaknesses, but later, But she was defeated by her own people."
"Since she became the lord of the city, we no longer have to worry about foreign enemies. After the city is stable, she also has her own family. On the day of the wedding, the people in the city celebrated. Her husband behaved gently and elegantly. Everyone sighed that they were a couple of gods and immortals. .The two have a very good relationship after their marriage, and they fight against enemies together. If this continues, it will definitely become a good story."
"But in the third year after their marriage, something suddenly happened. The city lord's temper became more and more violent, and she and her husband had quarrels all day long. At first, her husband would try to persuade her, but as time went by, she became unwilling to do so. I followed her. We kept arguing every day, and sometimes when I was buying food at the market, I could hear the city lord’s curses.”
"Her husband seemed polite and polite, so at first we thought it was the city lord who was playing tricks and wanted someone to mediate their relationship. However, that person unexpectedly learned the culprit of their relationship breakdown."
Mu Yao thought: "Could it be because of the monster?"
The old lady smiled bitterly: "It would be great if this were the case, but it just so happens that the only word in this world is love, which is the most difficult to resolve."
"We all thought it would be some natural or man-made disaster, but no one expected that her husband actually had a woman outside!"
Chen Wuchuan and Dongfang Mu Yao were both surprised. The old lady continued: "No one will believe it, right? People as powerful as them can actually suffer in the world."
"I heard someone said that his husband accidentally saved a woman, and even openly put the woman at home to recover. At first, the city lord would take care of the woman, but as time went by, she realized something was wrong and kept saying She wanted to send the woman out, but her husband refused, and the two quarreled. The trivial matters accumulated more and more, and later her husband simply ignored her and took care of the woman wholeheartedly, which also made the city lord furious. We have been quarreling about it all day long.”
"When something like this happens, we can't do it even if we want to, but it's not a big deal after all. Either the two of them reconcile, or her husband breaks up with the woman, and the life can still go on. But let What none of us expected was that the city lord was really a staunch woman. It was a rainy night, and she killed the couple with a sword and disappeared from sight."
"Kill?" Mu Yao murmured: "Since everyone is dead, why would she run away?"
Being so far away, Zhongzhou's punishment could not be applied to her.
"That is to say, with her temper she killed everyone, so why did she run away, but she just disappeared." The old lady sighed: "Some people also speculated that she committed suicide after killing the bitch and the couple."
Mu Yao found this even more unbelievable. Why would she risk her own life? Rumors are just rumors after all.
"Old man, let's have a drink of water." Mu Yao said casually while eating his food: "It sounds really sad. That's why the city fell and those monsters took advantage of it."
"That's not true." The old lady said fondly, "If the city lord was still here, how could they dare to make a mistake?"
"By the way, you just said that you have lived here for so long, and a girl has always come to help you. What does that girl look like?" Mu Yao said: "Maybe she is the person we are looking for."
The old lady laughed and said, "Old lady, my eyesight is not good, how do I know what she looks like. But that girl is very kind and has a nice voice. There are very few people in the city. If she comes, you will definitely recognize her."
After asking around, there were no valuable clues. After the two of them packed up, they planned to go back to sleep.
That night, a woman in red walked to the door of the inn carrying a bag of rice. Just as she was about to go in, she saw dense footprints in front of the steps.
The old lady rarely comes out. She usually doesn't clean her, so she is covered with dust. So many people came today?
She hid behind the wall warily, rolled her eyes, took out a golden bell from her body and started to shake it.
