Fu Yunxi noticed a young girl drying her quilt in the yard. Her mother-in-law smiled and said to them, "This is my granddaughter Xiaoyu."
Seeing a stranger coming to the house, Xiaoyu smiled shyly as a greeting.
"Hello, Sister Xiaoyu." Fu Yunxi liked Xiaoyu very much when she saw her. She hadn't seen someone with such clear eyes for a long time.
At this time, a woman came over with dishes. Her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Xiaoyu's, so they must be mother and daughter.
"This is my daughter-in-law. The two distinguished guests, please don't stand. Just sit down." The mother-in-law invited several people to sit down.
The table was placed in the yard, so even with Fu Yunxi and Nangong Mu, there were only five people dining together, which was quite spacious.
Although it is just farm food, it tastes good.
Fu Yunxi noticed that her mother-in-law's family was made up of women, and there was no sign of men living there. Generally speaking, even if the able-bodied men in the family were busy outside, they would come back for lunch at noon.
Or maybe all the clothes hanging out to dry shouldn't be women's clothes. However, looking at the people having a happy meal together, Fu Yunxi decided to ask her mother-in-law after they were done eating.
"Mother-in-law, are you the only ones at home?" Fu Yunxi asked. She wondered if it was related to what happened twenty years ago.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law's expression was filled with sorrow as she spoke, "My husband and son both passed away 20 years ago. My wife had just had Xiaoyu at that time, and the family lost two pillars."
Fu Yunxi hugged her mother-in-law and comforted her silently, and her mother-in-law felt much better.
"What happened twenty years ago?" Fu Yunxi asked. Maybe her mother-in-law knew something about it.
"The strong men in our village would go hunting in the nearby woods, but when we encountered a monster that time, none of them returned. When we went to look for them, we only saw blood and torn clothes on the ground," said the grandmother, her eyes filled with sorrow. "So, most of the people in our village are women and children."
"No one came back?" Fu Yunxi was also shocked when he heard the news. People have the instinct to escape. No matter how dangerous it is, it is impossible that no one could escape.
And if she guessed correctly, Sect Leader Lin should be with those villagers.
"It seems there is another one, but he is already stupid and doesn't even know who he is." The mother-in-law seemed to have thought of something and spoke.
Fu Yunxi's eyes darkened and she decided to look for this person first. She didn't believe that she would not be able to find any trace of him.
Before leaving, Fu Yunxi gave her mother-in-law some spirit stones and silver. Although ordinary people could not use the spirit stones, they could exchange them for other things.
"You can buy Xiaoyu some nice clothes." Fu Yunxi said when she saw her mother-in-law refusing. Seeing her firm attitude, her mother-in-law did not postpone it any longer.
She called out to Nangong Mu, who was helping to chop wood nearby. Beads of sweat covered the man's forehead. Upon hearing Fu Yunxi's voice, he put away the remaining firewood and then came over.
"My mother-in-law said that Old Man Liu who lived in the innermost house was the only survivor. Let's go and ask about the situation." Fu Yunxi said, pointing inside the village. Nangong Mu nodded in agreement.
There is no way one would sweat during a normal cultivation. Seeing that Nangong Mu didn't notice at all, Fu Yunxi handed over her handkerchief.
Seeing the handkerchief in front of him, Nangong Mu was stunned for a moment before taking it.
There was still a cold fragrance on the handkerchief. After wiping it, seeing that the woman had already walked in front, Nangong Mu quietly put the handkerchief in his sleeve and would return it to her after washing it.
