Chapter 459 Old Woman



The dead are greatest.

The prince was dead, and he couldn't let him die with regrets. Chu Younan decided to persuade Yao Meng and help him get out of the shadow.

The fact that Xian Country had such a remarkable person protecting it must have fulfilled the last wish of the prince and princess at that time.

But before he could convince Yao Meng, he had to convince Su Bei first.

Su Bei has had an angry expression on his face ever since he read the handwriting, and it looks like he wants to tear Yao Meng into pieces.

"Ah Bei..." Chu Younan stroked her back gently and said, "Why do you have to make yourself angry because of someone irrelevant to you?"

"Aren't you angry?" Su Bei looked at him steadily. "If he hadn't been so indiscriminate, how could this have happened?"

"It is indeed his problem, but he has locked himself up there for more than 60 years. I am afraid it is no better than death." Chu Younan's tone was very calm. "And at the end of the handwritten letter, the hostess still calmly hoped that Yao Meng could be appreciated..."

I have to say that the people of Xian Country live a leisurely life, which is really a fine virtue passed down from their ancestors.

Su Bei was silent for a long time before he said, "Then let's go again."

This time when I go, I must bring Xianren with me, otherwise that old man might go crazy again.

When they came out, they found another way, so this time they simply went in from the other side.

You have to go through a forest here, then reach where they came out, and then keep going south, and you should be able to enter.

But this time was a little different from the last time. They met two people near the entrance.

They were a young couple, but they were sneaky and kept looking towards the south.

A few people stopped, hid behind the trees, and watched quietly.

Everyone was looking in the direction of the young man, but Su Bei was different. She kept looking at Chu Younan.

He didn't look at the young couple, but his brows were tightly furrowed into a knot.

After a moment, he raised his hand and said, "Take them down!"

This kind of thing can be done by men.

Lu Jiu and Xian Ren rushed out together.

A fight broke out over there, but judging from the situation, the young couple was clearly at a disadvantage.

The atmosphere here relaxed, and Yun Rou joked, "The Queen and the Emperor are so affectionate, and her eyes never leave the Emperor."

"Of course not. Our emperor is so handsome and unrivaled in the world." Yun Xi said with a smile.

Su Bei said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. If Xianren hears it, he might get jealous!"

In fact, she knew that she could see more from Chu Younan's expression. For example, when they were about to look for Yao Meng, Chu Younan had the two young men arrested, and his brows were furrowed, thinking that the two must be related to Yao Meng.

But Su Bei couldn’t understand. Yao Meng had been locked up for more than sixty years, and these two men were only in their thirties or forties in total. They should have never met each other before, so how could they be related?

During a few words of chatting and laughing, the person was caught and the expressions of several people suddenly turned serious again.

These two people looked like farmers, but they had already revealed their martial arts skills. Obviously, they were not ordinary farmers. Moreover, this was deep in the mountains and forests, and ordinary people would not come here.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Younan asked in a deep voice.

"We...we didn't do anything...we just ran here chasing a rabbit..." The man was still trying to cover up deliberately.

"What do you do?" Lu Jiu asked.

I wonder if those two were a bit stupid. Their martial arts skills had clearly been exposed, but they still pretended to be a farm couple, and they suffered a lot as a result.

At the end, the farmer with swollen cheeks cried, "I want to go back to my mother! My mother told me not to tell her, so I can't tell her!"

The woman pretending to be a peasant woman also cried and wailed, "If you don't tell me, they will beat me to death. Will you let me live with your mother then? I don't want to be a widow!"

Su Bei was speechless, "If he doesn't say it, isn't it the same if you say it?"

The peasant woman was startled, then wiped her nose and said, "Yes! But you didn't ask me!"

Lu Jiu was helpless with these two stupid people. He could only ask with a dark face: "Who are you? What are you doing here? What did your mother tell you not to say?"

"My mother told us not to tell anyone who we are..." The peasant woman did answer, but it was the same as not answering at all.

Lu Jiu had no choice but to threaten her, "If you don't tell me, I'll make you a widow!"

This threat seemed to be more effective, and the peasant woman finally confessed.

They are actually a farming couple, but they are different from other families. Others want flat land, but they insist on mountain land. Others work in the fields all day, but they just pretend to work and then practice martial arts.

Not only that, they also have a mission, which is to come here every now and then to check whether the person inside has escaped.

It seems that this family has some mission, and this mission is related to Yao Meng.

Chu Younan thought about it again and again and decided to find out the details of this family first. "I think this family may be related to Yao Meng, and may be the key to solving his problem."

Although Su Bei was not very happy, he still nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look first."

She secretly thought, could it be that Yao Meng had harmed someone? If that was the case, she must not let him out.

A few people took the farmer couple to the village where they lived.

The atmosphere should have been quite tense, but the farmer made everyone laugh non-stop.

He rode with Lu Jiu, and he jumped up and down like a child, "I'm riding a horse! I'm riding a big horse! Mom, I'm riding a big horse!"

His bruised face and nose, coupled with his silly cries, made people laugh.

Soon, they arrived at the village where they lived.

Originally, Chu Younan was a little worried that such a high-profile search for his home would alert other people, but when he arrived at the place, he found that not only was his home in a remote location, but the place where he lived was also remote, and there was no other family nearby.

If the farmer hadn't kept shouting, I'm afraid not even a bird would have been scared away.

But even though he shouted so loudly, no one came out of the house.

"Is there no one here?" Su Bei looked at the farmhouse in surprise, but saw a hunched back through the window.

Chu Younan raised his hand, the horse stopped, and everyone waited outside the yard.

Such a loud noise didn't alarm the person inside. It seems that person is very hard of hearing.

As he and Su Bei approached, they saw a white-haired old woman sitting inside, with her back to the window, seemingly looking at something.

Chu Younan didn't say anything, and Su Bei didn't say anything either. Only the farming couple were there, shouting like a child calling for their mother.

For a long time, the old man didn't move. He just focused on the things in his hands, or maybe he had fallen asleep.

"She is recalling the past..." Chu Younan's voice was low and slow, as if disturbing the person who was reminiscing, "Many years ago..."

Just as he was about to tell Su Bei about the old man's memories, he heard a woman's loud shouting: "What the hell are you yelling about? Did you two go to see it today? You've been lazy all day long. I don't know what sin I committed to give birth to such a thing, and I married a..."

Before she finished her words, there was a sound of firewood falling to the ground. The woman looked at the man riding a horse in front of her in astonishment, as if she was frightened.
