Chapter 123 Is there something going on?
Su Yue and Murong Li exchanged glances and quickly walked into the yard.
“Ahem…”
When they arrived, Su Qiwen still hadn't noticed they had returned, so Su Yue had to remind him.
Su Qiwen turned his head when he heard the voices. It turned out to be Su Yue and Murong Li. His face flushed, as if he had been caught peeping at someone. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Sister, what took you so long to come back?"
If it weren't for the space on his sister's body, he wouldn't have been able to feel at ease. But since no one had come back for five or six days, he couldn't help but worry. Only when he saw the two of them coming back safely did he finally feel relieved.
Su Yue nodded and looked at the girl with a smile. The girl was pretty, her skin was a little dark, but she had beautiful features. When she saw Su Yue looking at her, she nodded at Su Yue as a greeting.
She also nodded back at her. There was a hint of embarrassment in the girl's eyes. Su Yue found it interesting. These two people must have made eye contact.
However, the old man was stunned when he saw the two men coming back and saw Murong Li. He then hurried over to Murong Li with his daughter, bowed to him and said, "Are you Prince Li?"
Murong Li shook his head: "I am Murong Li now, who are you?"
The old man looked like he knew him, but there was no such person in his memory.
The old man sighed and said, "I was exiled here five years ago. I'm Luo Dinghe, and I used to work in the Ministry of Works."
"Oh, then please do it inside." Murong Li put down the backpack on his back and helped Su Yue take it.
It's normal that he doesn't recognize the people who were exiled here five years ago.
Murong Li took a look at the furniture in the yard. Luo Dinghe's carpentry work was really good, worthy of being from the Ministry of Works.
There were already quite a few skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works.
After greeting Su Yue, Luo Dinghe pointed to the furniture in the yard to the girl before entering the house.
He was anxious to ask Murong Li if he knew what the current situation was in the Ministry of Works. Although he was exiled here, his heart was still in the Ministry of Works.
He had only made a minor mistake that year, not enough to warrant exile, but the emperor still sent him into exile.
"Sister, this is Sister Luo, please entertain her." When Su Qiwen saw the two of them enter the house, he said something to Su Yue and followed them into the house.
"Sister Su, my name is Luo Meiting. I am one year older than you. You can call me Sister Luo." Luo Meiting introduced herself in a familiar manner.
"Hello, Sister Luo."
Su Yue saw that Luo Meiting had clear eyes and was a graceful person. She was not short, half a head taller than her, and was a good match for Su Qiwen.
Su Yue fell in love with the girl at first sight, and since they were all exiled here, no one should look down on others because of their inferior status, except for the eldest brother.
If she could really marry her elder brother, Su Yue would still be happy for him.
Su Qiming is already nineteen years old. Here, men who get married at the age of eighteen, nineteen, or around twenty years old are almost considered to have late marriage and late childbearing.
"Where did you get so much stuff?"
After Luo Meiting nodded to Su Yue, she saw that the basket was full of fresh mushrooms and some wild fruits.
She was extremely surprised. After the rain, some mushrooms grew, but they had been picked by the villagers long ago, and there were no fruits.
"I picked them in the mountains. If you like, feel free to eat them, Sister Luo."
As Su Yue spoke, she took out some wild fruits from her backpack and placed them on the table.
Seeing the fresh wild fruits, they are red and juicy, so tempting.
Luo Meiting licked her lips and said embarrassedly, "Then I won't be polite, sister."
Such fruits have not been eaten for many years. Now it is a year of great famine. Anyone who sees such fruits will be tempted.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Sister Luo, you're welcome. I'll go get some water to wash first."
"Hey, no need to wash, no need to wash. It's okay to eat it even if it's not clean." Luo Meiting said, took a fruit and wiped it on her body, then put it in her mouth and took a big bite.
mouth.
"Ah! This fruit is so sweet!"
Luo Meiting said vaguely, "This fruit is so sweet and juicy. It's so delicious that I almost bit off my tongue. What a delicious fruit."
Su Yue smiled and turned to go to the kitchen. When she entered, the kitchen had changed a lot. The stove that was about to collapse had been repaired. There were cupboards and storage cabinets in the room, and it was tidy and clean.
I guess Luo Meiting helped to clean it up. For her elder brother to be able to tidy it up so neatly, it's like the sun rising from the west.
She found a basin, filled it half with water and brought it out. She took out half of the fruits from the basket, washed them, and then brought them in to Murong Li and the others.
The table and stools in the main room are new, and you can smell the fresh scent of wood.
"Uncle Luo, try the wild fruits we picked."
Luo Dinghe blinked and looked at the fruit in the basin and asked, "Where did you pick these fruits from? They are so fresh?"
Su Yue glanced at Murong Li and said, "This is what we picked when we climbed to the top of Yunwu Mountain. If the villagers can climb up by themselves, there are still more on top."
"Really? That's great! But how did you guys get up there?"
Uncle Luo was extremely happy, but suddenly he remembered that it was impossible for ordinary people to climb to the top of Yunwu Mountain, and his excitement suddenly dropped.
It's like having a mountain of treasure but not being able to get food.
"We can climb up." Murong Li said again.
"Only people with martial arts skills can climb up. Villagers can't climb up." Luo Dinghe shook his head regretfully. If they could climb up, the villagers would not go hungry.
"We can find a way to get up there, and we can collect supplies from the mountain and sell them to the villagers or take them to town to sell."
Of course I won’t give it away for free, as that would only result in some ungrateful people.
Luo Dinghe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "I'll go talk to the village chief about this. I'm sure they'll agree."
"Okay." Murong Li nodded. They came back for this matter.
Uncle Luo did what he said. He took a fruit and ran out of the door while eating it. He glanced at Luo Meiting and saw her talking and laughing with Su Yue. He smiled and walked out of the yard without stopping.
Su Yue and Luo Meiting talked for a while. Luo Meiting was going to work, so Su Yue returned to her room. When she entered, she saw that the room was also brand new. Not only the bed, wardrobe, but also the cabinets were all new.
Of course, the roof has been completely repaired, so there is no problem even if it snows heavily.
Su Yue looked around the room, sat on the bed, and thought about the future.
