Chapter 163 Caravan

"Ah, um, mother, I'll do it myself!"

Da Mao shouted quickly and pulled the handkerchief out of Tao Gu's hand.

'What a majestic big brother, is this the hero who travels around the world? I wonder if I can practice martial arts in the future...My mother always said that I was born with weak bones and insufficient energy and blood...'

Da Mao wiped his face and looked at the majestic Han Yi, who was carrying the Black Iron Sword behind him, and thought with envy.

‘Also, this eldest sister is so beautiful. Is she my eldest brother’s wife? I also want to marry such a beautiful wife in the future! ’

He turned sideways again, lowered his head, and looked at the beautiful Qian Xuelai next to Han Yi. As for the old man Bai Sanren, he had automatically ignored him.

"Let's go, Da Mao! Why are you still standing here?" Tao Gu gave Da Mao a violent shudder and took his hand.

"It hurts! Mom, you keep hitting me on the head, and I can't grow taller!"

Da Mao followed Tao Gu and led Han Yi and the others into the large courtyard.

"Grandpa, grandpa, mother is hurting me again!"

Da Mao, who was still a little reserved just now and didn't dare to speak loudly with his lips pouted, immediately lost his joy and became lively as soon as he returned home and filed a complaint.

A shriveled, thin old man walked out of the main room in the middle. He was leaning on a cane and seemed to have a sloping foot, and his right foot was not very agile.

"Hey, Da Mao, run slowly, don't bump into each other..." The old man showed a kind smile, patted his good grandson on the head, turned his eyes, and looked at Han Yi and the others.

"Dad, we have guests! They said they were going home to visit their relatives. They passed by our village and wanted to stay overnight..."

Tao Gu stepped forward and explained.

"I've met my father-in-law." Han Yi also bowed his hands.

The old man smiled and nodded in response, and walked slowly to Han Yi on a crutch: "My surname is Tao, and I am the fifth in rank. You can just call me Tao Wu. I am currently the village chief of Taoyuan Village."

"Village Chief Tao, I wonder if you can arrange a room for the three of us. It's getting late and it's really hard to rush. Sorry to bother you!"

Han Yi said with a smile, took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it to Tao Wu.

"Haha, Master, you are too polite. It's just a small matter. It's inevitable that there will be inconveniences when you are away from home, but..."

Tao Wu said with a smile. He quickly accepted the money and put it in his arms, but then he hesitated and showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Village Chief Tao just says what he wants to say!"

Han Yi asked immediately after observing his words.

"Sir, let me tell you the truth. Before you came, a group of caravans came to stay overnight. Now there are only two small rooms left near the stables. The smell may be a bit strong. I wonder if you can tolerate it?"

"this......"

Han Yi's thoughts turned around and he glanced at Bai Sanren, wanting to ask for his opinion.

But Bai Sanren made an expression as if he was listening to Han Yi's arrangements and did not respond. When he entered and exited just now, Bai Sanren decided that Han Yi would be fully responsible, euphemistically calling it 'training' his ability to run around.

Of course, in Han Yi's opinion, it was just that the Bai San people were too troublesome and didn't want to talk.

"May I ask the village chief, are there any other free rooms in the village?"

"Young master, you don't know. Many young adults in this village have gone to the city to find a living. The rest are women and children, which is not very convenient... Besides, there are still some spare rooms in this village. The environment is not good. It meets the requirements for residence..."

Tao Wu looked apologetic.

"In that case, let's do it. It's so late at night, it would be nice to have a place to rest. I'm not bothering the village chief!"

Han Yi thought for a moment and made a decision. What the village chief said was very reasonable. When he entered the village, he had observed that except for the village chief's house, the others were all loess huts, which were really not suitable.

"Then everyone, please!"

Tao Wuyi stepped aside, gave up his position, and made a greeting gesture to let Han Yi and the others in.

"Um."

Han Yi nodded and the others walked towards the main house.

"We're finally home! I didn't expect this mission to take so long..."

"Say less. Didn't you see Huang Tou's expression? I heard that his third concubine is about to give birth..."

"While we are still in Fucheng, that guy wants to have fun, otherwise we..."

"Shhhhh..."

Before he even reached the door, Han Yi heard complaints coming from inside.

"who?"

Squeak!

The door of the main house suddenly opened. A long-bearded old man over fifty years old stood in the house and looked outside. He had obviously heard the movement outside.

"Huang Gong, these people are passing by just like you. Seeing that the night is getting dark, they came to stay for one night..."

Tao Wudeng walked quickly to the front, leaning on a crutch, and introduced him.

"oh......"

The old man had an extraordinary aura and did not look like an ordinary person. He was still observing Han Yi and the others suspiciously.

"My name is Han Yi. The brother and sister are taking their uncle home to visit relatives and stay overnight."

Han Yi said calmly that the old man's comprehensive value was '40~52'. Although he was also a master in the blood refining stage, he was probably past the peak of his energy and blood and his strength had declined.

"Haha... Just the three of you dare to wander..."

The old man wanted to say something and refused to give up his position. Suddenly, his face changed and he felt the blood of the man in front of him, which was so strong that it was a bit scary.

"The three of us are really passers-by. It's just a coincidence that we met you..."

Han Yi explained helplessly. He didn't understand why the leader of an ordinary caravan was so cautious when he was just staying overnight.

"Well... My surname is Huang, and my given name is An. We are a team of merchants returning to Anyan City from Xin'an Prefecture City. We just came here. We encountered some accidents on the way. Now we are a little too cautious. Please forgive me!"

Seeing the sincere expression on Han Yi's face, Huang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he believed his words, or he felt that there was no need to hide for someone with such strength.

However, Han Yi didn't care. If he was not careful when he went out, how could he survive to the end? Not to mention, according to Huang Ling, how could he not be cautious when traveling thousands of miles from the prefecture city?

Following the polite conversation between Han Yi and Huang Ling, everyone entered the house.

Inside the house, the glowing firelight reflected the reflections of the tables, chairs and window frames. The red light came from the stove in the middle of the main house, where the stove mouth was open, revealing the red-hot charcoal fire.

The warm and pleasant fire filled the entire room and shone the warm light on everyone's face, warm and intoxicating.

"It's so warm!"

Qianxue's red lips slightly opened, revealing a comfortable expression.

Although people who practice martial arts have strong blood and a healthy body, and have a higher resistance to cold and heat than ordinary people, among Han Yi and the other two, only Qianxue's strength is the lowest, but it is only the late stage of bone refining.

Therefore, when she suddenly entered the warm house from the freezing cold outside, Qianxue still felt very comfortable.
