The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 235
"This is the southernmost part of Tianmu Kingdom, this area is called Qingyou Village." Xi Gongjue got off his horse, and then hugged Ye Anran off the horse.

"Qingyouzhai? It's such a strange name, why haven't I heard of it? I just know the Lingcheng and Hepingcheng." Ye Anran, as a member of the Tianmu Kingdom, is familiar with the place names in her country, but she is not familiar with this Qingyouzhai. It was unheard of and unseen, and my curiosity was immediately aroused.

"This place has less than [-] households, and they are all vagrants. They rely on raising poultry, cattle and sheep for a living, so they are not included in the jurisdiction of Pingcheng and Lingcheng. There are only such a part of the population, but their lives are very comfortable. , self-sufficient, it can be regarded as a paradise." Jue Nishinomiya seemed to have a good impression of this place, and even when he introduced it, his face was peaceful.

This is not at all different from his usual sternness. Such a gentle Nishinomiya is still rare.

"The houses here are very distinctive. They seem to be wooden villages, right?" Ye Anran got off his horse before he came back to his senses and carefully looked at these dozens of houses. They were built with ethnic characteristics. The two-story small bamboo building is very charming.

"Well, that's why this place is called Qingyou Village. The scenery is beautiful. It's rare to find such a beautiful scenery in the border. Let's go, I'll take you to see it." Said, Xi Gongjue took Ye Anran's hand and walked inside.

A middle-aged man walked towards him, holding a cute little girl in a red dress in his arms.

"Young Master Xi, are you here?" The man seemed to recognize Xi Gongjue, and greeted him warmly.

Ye Anran stared wide-eyed, looked at Xi Gongjue inexplicably, and repeated in a low voice: "Young Master Xi?"

"They don't know my identity. When I come to the border inspection every year, I will come here to see them and give them some supplies, so almost all of them recognize me. They think... I am the son of a big family. "Nishimiyajue smiled rarely.

"Hehe, your big family is really big enough." Ye Anran pursed her lips and smiled.

"Master Xi, is this your wife? She's so beautiful?" The middle-aged man smiled honestly.

He hesitated and came out in a hurry, so he forgot to wear a veil, Ye Anran touched his cheek, only then remembered that he was showing his true face.

"Ah, it's my wife." Jue Nishinomiya introduced Ye Anran intimately with his arms around Ye Anran's shoulders.

"Master Xi is very lucky, good people are rewarded with good rewards." The middle-aged man laughed.

Ye Anran also smiled embarrassingly. Obviously, the folk customs here are relatively simple, and they never hesitate to talk about beautiful things, which made Ye Anran a little at a loss for a while.

Suddenly, the baby girl in the middle-aged man's arms opened her small hands and shouted towards An Ran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Empress?" Ye Anran was taken aback, thinking to himself, does the little girl know that she is a princess?
At this time, the middle-aged man's eyes dimmed: "My family has many younger sisters. When I see a beautiful woman, I always think her mother is back. I'm sorry, Mr. Xi."

"Where's your wife?" Nishinomiya vaguely remembered seeing the couple farming when they came last year.

"She...is no longer here." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's tears were hazy and he was a little choked up.

"What happened?" Nishinomiya felt that something bad had happened.

Sure enough, the man replied: "A year ago, my wife and I went to the city to buy new year's goods. On the way back... we encountered bandits, and my wife was captured by them. After I was seriously injured, I was thrown in the woods. Later, I was brought back by the discovery of fellow villagers, and later, I took dozens of people in the village to go to the bandits to ask for someone, how do you know...?"

Speaking of this, the man was already sobbing...

"What's wrong?" Ye Anran asked softly, even though she didn't know what happened to the crying man, Ye Anran expressed sympathy.

"My wife's body has been dumped at the foot of the mountain by those bastards. She was not only insulted by those beasts, but also killed by them." The middle-aged man seemed a little emotional.

The girl in her arms wiped away the man's tears indiscriminately, and then softly comforted: "Daddy won't cry, daddy won't cry."

Seeing such a scene, Ye Anran's eyes became moist. She really felt very sad about what happened to this family.

"Since then, when my younger sister saw a beautiful woman, she thought it was her mother." The man raised his hand to wipe away his tears and explained.

"Those bastards, damn it." Jue Nishinomiya clenched his fists, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"In my dreams, I want to avenge my wife, but we unarmed villagers are not their opponents at all. Those people really do all kinds of evil. Not only our family, the surrounding residents, and the neighboring villages all have victims." The young man said slowly.

"Is it still Ma Chengdong's people?" Xi Gongjue seemed to be no stranger to these bandits.

"Well, yes, it's them. They have now incorporated several small cottages and expanded their scale. Moreover, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They are very arrogant. I heard that they also have contacts with people from Liuyun Kingdom." The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"Wang... Husband, who is Ma Chengdong, do you know him?" I wanted to call him Lord, but thought that Xi Gongjue had concealed his identity, so Ye Anran temporarily changed his name to Husband.

"Well, Ma Chengdong used to be the deputy general of the frontier. Because he made a mistake in a certain battle, he was punished by the military law and slapped [-] military accounts. Afterwards, he refused to accept it and fled overnight. He took some of his brothers and burned, killed and looted everywhere. There is no bottom line, and the government has been attacking them all the time. Because they have served as soldiers, they are not as easy to deal with as ordinary bandits. If I hadn’t been free all the time, I would have dealt with these bastards a long time ago.” Xi Gongjue was furious .

"My lady, give me a hug." The little girl in the middle-aged man's arms seemed to have taken a fancy to Ye Anran and kept calling her mother.

"Duomei, don't make trouble, this is not your mother, this is Uncle Xi's wife." The middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed, educating his daughter.

"It's okay, let me hug her." Seeing that the little girl was rarely so close to him, Ye Anran skillfully picked up the little girl under the astonished expression of Nishinomiya.

"Young lady is beautiful, so beautiful." The little girl seemed to be incomplete, she seemed to want to express that Ye Anran was very beautiful, Ye Anran smiled, and kissed the girl's cheek lightly.

At this moment, Jue Nishinomiya was a little impulsive, he also wanted a child of his own impulsively...but he didn't say it.

"Mrs. Xi, I'm sorry, the child is too young, please trouble you." The middle-aged man was a little ashamed.

"It's okay, the child is quite cute, it's rare that she likes me so much, I'll coax her for a while." It can be seen that Ye Anran also likes children very much, and has been coaxing Duomei.

"Dazhi, don't worry, I will avenge your wife's revenge." Xi Gongjue patted the middle-aged man's shoulder and comforted him.

"Young master Xi, you are really a good person. If you really avenge me, then I will be willing to do whatever it takes." The man seemed very excited, kneeling on his knees and said.

"Get up quickly, you don't need to do this. Killing Ma Chengdong is to eliminate harm for the people. It is everyone's wish. I didn't do it for you alone. You don't have to do this." Xi Gongjue pulled the man named Dazhi and said slowly.

"Duomei, it's time for us to go home." Dazhi took Duomei from Ye Anran's hand and coaxed softly.

Unexpectedly, Duomei burst into tears: "No, I want my mother."

It seems that Duomei really regards Ye Anran as her mother, maybe this child hasn't seen her mother for a long time, so when she smells the feminine fragrance on Ye Anran, she really thinks it's her Mother is back.

"Master Xi, Mrs. Xi, you go shopping first, I'm going home first, you come to my house for dinner." Dazhi warmly invited.

"No, let's walk around." Jue Nishinomiya politely refused.

Seeing the big and small figures walk away, Ye Anran suddenly burst into tears: "Sister Duo is so pitiful."

"Anran, if you like, we can adopt that child." Seeing Ye Anran's sympathy overflowing, Nishinomiya suggested.

Who knows, Ye Anran shook his head: "No, Duomei has already lost her mother, so she can't lose her biological father anymore. We can't be so cruel and separate their father and daughter."

"Well, what you said makes sense, let's go, we are watching." Originally, Nishinomiya wanted to take Ye Anran to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but he didn't want to encounter such a thing, it was really helpless.

Afterwards, Xi Gongjue took Ye Anran to look at the surrounding scenery, but when he wanted to leave, he was stopped by someone.

"Master Xi, please stay." An old voice came from behind.

Jue Xi Gongju turned his head back and was taken aback: "Uncle Fu?"

"Young master Xi, why don't you come to sit at the old man's house, if you didn't hear that you came, I wouldn't know, hurry up, let's go to eat at home." Fu Bo didn't seem to know how honorable Xi Gongjue was. The man even reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Ye Anran broke into a cold sweat for him, if normally, wouldn't Nishinomiya kick him away?
But Nishinomiya didn't this time, he just smiled: "Uncle Fu, I won't go, it's late, we're leaving."

"No, our old lady has already prepared meals. Mr. Xi, you can take your wife to eat before leaving. Although our place is a remote place, I still want to invite you to have a meal." The old man said very sincerely.

Nishinomiya looked at Ye Anran helplessly, as if he was asking her what she meant...

"Since the old man is so enthusiastic about keeping us, let's stay." Ye Anran said slowly.

Jue Nishinomiya raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Okay, since my wife said to stay, then we will stay."

For some reason, Ye Anran felt something warm flowing through her heart after hearing Nishi Gongjue's words.

"This old man seems to like you very much." Ye Anran whispered in Xi Gongjue's ear.

"Well, when I came to inspect the year before last, grandma was ill, and I happened to have an imperial doctor with me, so I let grandma take a look at it. The old man always remembered this in his heart, and always said that he would thank me. If he didn't see him, I would I forgot about it." Said Nishi Gongjue very ordinary.

But at this moment, Ye Anran was shocked...

"Since you can save an ordinary villager, why don't you let go of the thousand Liuyun country captives?" Ye Anran asked in a low voice.

"Because they are enemies." Jue Nishinomiya said solemnly.

Ye Anran remained silent... Perhaps in Nishinomiya's conception, the enemy and us are clearly distinguished, but in Ye Anran's eyes, everyone is human, regardless of national boundaries.

After a while, he arrived at Uncle Fu's house after walking a few steps. Uncle Fu seemed very happy, and before he entered the door, he shouted: "Old woman, it's time for dinner. The guests are here."

"Okay." At this time, Ye Anran saw an old woman staggering to the door, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing a gray apron, feeling very kind.

"Young Master Xi brought his wife here. They really look like husband and wife. Come on, please come to the house." The mother-in-law said enthusiastically.

Grandma's unintentional words made both Xi Gongjue and Ye Anran feel embarrassed, husband and wife... do they have one?
