Yun Ruoyue trembled and said: "Old man, my money was stolen and I have no place to live, so..."
"What?
Has your money been stolen?
You don’t have money to stay in a hotel, right?
It's okay, my wife is the only one in my house, if you don't mind, you can come in and stay with me for one night."
The old woman said kindly.
"Really?
Thank you, old lady, for your willingness to take me in. I am deeply grateful, so how can I dare to dislike you?"
Yun Ruoyue said happily.
“It’s so cold outside, it’ll freeze to death.
Quick, come in with me!"
As the old woman said this, she took Yun Ruoyue's hand.
Soon, she brought Yun Ruoyue into her house and then closed the door.
As soon as Yun Ruoyue walked into the house, she saw a fire pit opposite, and a strong warmth hit her face.
The temperature inside and outside the house was like heaven and earth. It was so warm here and she felt so comfortable.
"Young man, come on, sit down and drink some hot water to warm your stomach."
The old woman said and went to pour water for Yun Ruoyue.
"Thanks."
Yun Ruoyue sat down quietly and took a look at the room.
Although the house is very simple, it is kept spotless, which shows that the old lady is a very tidy person.
After the old woman poured water for Yun Ruoyue, she looked at her carefully. She saw Yun Ruoyue's long black hair hanging down and her smart eyes, and suddenly said, "Young man, oh no, you
You're not a young man, you're actually a girl, right?"
Seeing the old woman staring at her long hair, Yun Ruoyue realized that she had forgotten to tie her bun, and she hurriedly said: "Old man, you have really good eyesight, I am indeed a woman.
It's not convenient for me to go out as a woman, so I dress up in men's clothing."
The old woman smiled softly, "I have to say, when you put on this men's clothing, you look like a handsome young man from a distance.
If your hair hadn't been hanging down, I wouldn't have been able to tell.
Since you are a woman, it will be more convenient for us. You can stay at my place tonight and we will discuss other matters tomorrow."
"Thank you, mother-in-law, you are so kind.
My name is Yunli, what do you call me?"
Yun Ruoyue asked.
"My surname is Li, just call me Granny Li! By the way, from your accent, you shouldn't be from Yongcheng. Where are you from?"
Yun Ruoyue said hurriedly: "Well, I am also from Tiansheng, but I come from a very remote countryside.
That village is called Yunjia Village, have you heard of it, mother-in-law?"
Of course, Yun Ruoyue didn't dare to say that she was from the Chu country, so she made up a village at random. Since these ancient people rarely went out, they didn't know whether what she said was true or false.
Fortunately, the languages of the two countries are very similar, so she was able to pretend to be from Tiansheng.
"Yunjia Village?
I really haven't heard of it, but since you are here, it means that we are destined.
You must be hungry, right?
I still have some steamed buns here, I’ll get them for you to eat.”
After Granny Li finished speaking, she got up and went to the kitchen to get some steamed buns.
Yun Ruoyue had been hungry all day, and she was so weak from hunger that her eyes were filled with stars. As soon as she saw the steamed bun, she quickly took it in her hand and ate it hungrily.
Seeing that she was eating quickly, Granny Li quickly handed the water to her and said, "Miss Yun, eat slower and drink some water before eating."
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
Yun Ruoyue gratefully took the water glass, quickly drank some water, and then swallowed the steamed bun.
After a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, Yun Ruoyue felt a lot more comfortable in her stomach. Then she looked at Granny Li and asked doubtfully: "Grandma, why are you the only one in your house? Where is your family?"
