Chapter 81: Staying
Ruan He was slightly stunned when she heard the unambiguous compliment, and subconsciously looked at Mu Yunxiao beside her blankly.
Mu Yunxiao suppressed the smile on his lips and looked at her. He didn't say anything more, but his dark eyes were tinged with an indelible smile.
What the lady said was right, his wife was indeed pretty and had a nice voice.
Ruan He coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortably, and continued to bring their conversation back to the previous topic.
"Thank you, Auntie... Where is the inn? Can you tell us?"
When facing her elders, her clear voice was deliberately softened, and it was indeed as beautiful as falling pearls.
Mu Yunxiao raised his eyes and stared at his wife silently, his gaze motionless.
Several middle-aged ladies nearby also came over and looked at the two of them curiously. They also realized that this was probably not a "golden boy and jade girl" sent by heaven, but probably just a pair of noble people passing by.
An old lady smiled cheerfully and answered enthusiastically for Aunt Li: "My child, this is Qingshui Village. The hundreds of households nearby live on the Qingshui River. It's hard to find an inn! If you really want to find an inn, you have to go to the city. It's a long way to the west, about ten hours away!"
"Thank you, ma'am."
After hearing this, Ruan He frowned and looked at Mu Yunxiao beside him. She pushed him and intentionally asked him what he thought.
They had been drifting on the water for a whole day and were already starving. Their rest was quite simple, and they were in urgent need of an inn to rest.
Besides, it was already evening and getting dark, so they might as well find a family in Qingshui Village to stay overnight.
Mu Yunxiao took a step forward, looked at the ladies, straightened his expression, and asked politely.
"Auntie, my wife and I were in trouble on the water. We drifted all day before arriving here. Now we are starving. Can we stay in your village for a night and buy something to eat?"
When Aunt Li heard this, a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said cheerfully, "My children! It's getting dark, and you've been hungry for so long. Come back home with me and have something hot to fill your stomachs. Although my family is poor, I will make room for you to sleep for one night!"
Aunt Li's words undoubtedly solved their urgent problem.
Ruan He did not agree immediately. She looked hesitant and asked with some concern.
"Auntie, we are outsiders. Would it be inconvenient for us to disturb your family?"
"What do you mean by disturbing or not? It is a blessing for us to have two distinguished guests stay overnight at our house!"
Aunt Li's kind and enthusiastic look did not contain any falsehood. Unable to resist her enthusiasm, Ruan He and the others readily agreed.
"Auntie, my wife and I are sorry to bother you."
Aunt Li chatted with them lively along the way and gave them a clear introduction to the overall situation of Qingshui Village.
The Qingshui River, which Qingshui Village is close to, is a treasure. The water is clear and there are plenty of fish in the river, all of which are fat and big.
The soil irrigated by the clear water from the river is very fertile. Although this place is remote, the villagers can basically live a good and prosperous life.
