The villagers looked at the three people with suspicion.
One of them asked, "This brother looks quite skilled."
When he went to rescue someone just now, his skills were very agile even in the dark night.
Yuan Zhao's heart was lifted.
I was worried that I would cause trouble for these two people.
But the other young man reacted quickly, laughing and saying, "Brothers, you don't know, my eldest brother loves my sister-in-law the most. Just now, my sister-in-law didn't let me follow her, and my eldest brother was worried about her, worried that something might happen to her. Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence?"
"It's not easy for us to travel all over the country, so it's normal for us to have some skills! But they are just small fights. That's why we encountered such heavy snow and had to come here to stay."
The man holding Yuan Zhao's hand didn't say much. Yuan Zhao showed some shyness at the right time and half leaned in the man's arms.
"I drank too much snow water when I went up the mountain just now, so I thought of doing you a favor..."
Then, she bowed to the villagers and said softly, "I wonder if you could be so kind as to take my family in for a night? The snow is so heavy, and we've been walking all day. If we don't have a place to rest, we're afraid we'll freeze to death in the mountains..."
She bowed gracefully, very humbly and submissively.
"Don't worry, brothers. We are not staying here for free. My husband and brother-in-law still have some money on them. We can pay you as compensation."
At such times, women are more likely to arouse sympathy and make people lower their guard than men.
The leading night watchman fixed his eyes on the three of them, and finally said in a deep voice: "Come in with us!"
…
Yuan Zhao and the other two were brought to a mud house. Someone came out upon hearing the noise. It was an aunt.
When the aunt saw the newcomer, her attitude was much better than those of the night watchmen.
"Hey! Wanquan, who are these people?"
The leading night watchman replied indifferently, "Aunt Zhou, this couple and their brother are here to stay overnight. Can they stay at your house?"
Aunt Zhou opened the gate and said with a smile, "Would you like to stay overnight?"
"No problem, come on in! I still have two empty rooms, you can stay here tonight!"
As he said that, he led the three people inside. Yuan Zhao glanced back and saw that the night watchmen were still staring at them.
This village is so strange...
"Then you two young couple will live in this room, and this young man will live in the room next door!" Aunt Zhou introduced quickly and assigned rooms to the three of them.
Yuan Zhao thanked him.
The young man was in charge of carrying the luggage.
Aunt Zhou looked her over and couldn't help asking, "Madam, why are you still wearing a mask? Are you ashamed to be seen?"
Although she said it with a smile, Yuan Zhao always felt that there was a chilling chill in her tone.
She held the man's arm and lowered her head to explain: "I am running around with my husband and brother-in-law. As a woman, covering my face can save my husband some trouble..."
The man beside her was also very tactful. He put his arm around her waist in an intimate manner and said to Aunt Zhou, "Don't mind, Aunt. I'm watching my wife closely and I'm afraid she'll show up in public and get snatched away by someone else. That's why I asked her to wear a veil."
His voice was low but pleasant, and he sounded like a man who doted on his wife.
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou and the other young man both burst out laughing.
Mo Yu really couldn't imagine that the general who was so majestic in normal times would say such words.
Just now at the village entrance, both of them noticed someone in the grass by the roadside, but when they saw that the person did not move, they remained motionless.
But I didn't expect an accident to happen later.
With his eyesight, he could only vaguely see that it was a woman.
The branch right above her head was about to fall, but she didn't move at all, as if she was frightened.
The general beside him rushed over immediately.
The next sentence was that the general called the woman "wife".
Mo Yu was so frightened that he almost lost his composure.
When did the general get married?
Later, realizing it was a show, he played along.
But isn't it too cooperative of a general who always keeps women at a distance?
Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said, "Oh, you young people are really..."
Yuan Zhao buried her head in the man's arms in shame.
After Aunt Zhou's "interrogation" ended, she finally let the few people into the house.
The young man went into the next room, and Yuan Zhao was pulled into another room by the man.
Aunt Zhou brought in a candle and said, "Just sleep here for one night. You can go out tomorrow when the snow stops."
Yuan Zhao wanted to catch the candle, but Aunt Zhou's hand shook slightly, and a drop of wax was about to drip down.
He put his other hand in front of him and took the candle from Aunt Zhou's hand, not caring at all about the drop of wax dripping onto his hand.
"Are you burned?" Yuan Zhao took the initiative to ask with concern.
The man held the candle steadily. "It's okay. I'm a tough guy, so I'm not afraid. My wife is delicate, so don't do these little things."
Yuan Zhao's eyes were still fixed on the burned skin. Aunt Zhou joked, "You two have such a good relationship..."
Yuan Zhao then smiled embarrassedly.
After watching Aunt Zhou leave, Yuan Zhaohe and the man were the only ones left in the room.
The man placed the candle on the table, then turned around and took her hand, walking towards the bed. He said as he walked, "My lady, you've been traveling all day. Let me massage your legs for you and go to bed early."
Hearing his tone, Yuan Zhao knew that Aunt Zhou probably had not left completely yet.
She cooperated tacitly, and the man acted flawlessly. He didn't take advantage of her and was a good man.
After calming down, she obediently followed him to the bedside and asked softly, "My husband, were you hurt just now? Next time, don't ignore yourself to save me..."
