Chapter 330 Twins
Li Beifeng stood outside the yard, quietly looking at the farmhouse in front of him. Reading
М
This is an extremely simple thatched house, even more shabby than the house Li Beifeng lived in when he was in Lijia Village.
At that time, Li Beifeng still had a two-bedroom apartment. Although it was a bit old, the house was still intact and clean.
But the farmhouse in front of him was shabby and looked a bit desolate.
The short thatched house, the shabby gate, and the yard were also pitifully small. In the backyard of the farmhouse, you can vaguely see a piece of open space.
There seemed to be some crops planted on the open space.
At this time, at the door of the yard, a peasant woman was sitting, washing clothes.
The weather was cool, and the peasant woman was wearing thick cotton clothes, and her hands were soaked in cold water and frozen red.
However, she didn't care and washed clothes very seriously.
The peasant woman was about forty years old. Perhaps it was the long-term labor that made her look haggard and her skin even older. But vaguely, it seems that you can still see some of her youthful beauty from her eyebrows.
This peasant woman is the one who the shopkeeper mentioned as a possible maid of the Northern Qi royal family.
Originally, Li Beifeng just wanted to inquire, but what surprised him was the other party's attitude. The old peasant woman's attitude was obviously a little cold, and she was very indifferent to Li Beifeng's questions. From beginning to end, she didn't even look up at Li Beifeng.
"Auntie, don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I just heard about it from others, so I'm a little curious..."
Li Beifeng tried to make his tone very kind, and showed a very kind smile on his face, trying to prove that he had no other purpose.
However... his plan failed.
The old peasant woman in the yard still didn't look at him straight in the eye.
The tone was still relatively cold, "I said, you found the wrong person, there is really no Northern Qi palace maid here, it's all rumors, I'm just an ordinary peasant woman..."
Li Beifeng frowned slightly.
He always felt that the tone of the peasant woman in front of him was a bit deliberately cold... The more so, the more he felt it was not normal.
To be honest, if someone came to ask normally, this attitude should not be adopted, right? Unless... there is something wrong?
Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the old peasant woman.
Watching her wash the clothes diligently, he waited until she stood up and raised her head.
At this time, Li Beifeng seemed to have discovered something.
The old peasant woman had empty eyes and no spirit.
She...
Couldn't she see?
Then, Li Beifeng saw the old peasant woman holding the washing basin in front of her, groping step by step, and came to the gate of the yard. After leaving the yard, she slowly groped step by step to the river not far behind the yard.
She walked very slowly with every step, and needed to grope for a moment every step to confirm whether there were any obstacles in front. When she reached the river, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this scene, Li Beifeng frowned even more deeply.
She is indeed a blind person!
This surprised Li Beifeng.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he followed her to the river.
As if hearing the footsteps behind her, the old peasant woman who was washing clothes by the river paused and then continued to wash clothes.
Li Beifeng appeared not far from the river, looked at the old peasant woman, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again.
"Auntie, I don't know if you have any difficulties or want to hide your identity. But I assure you that I really have no ill intentions... You also know that the Northern Qi has been destroyed for nearly 20 years, and all the grievances of the past have long been dust and dust."
"I came to you today just to ask about some secrets of the past. I wonder if you can tell me? I will be very grateful..."
The peasant woman paused again, this time, she stopped for a moment.
After a while, she still spoke calmly, a little coldly: "This young man, you really recognized the wrong person, I don't know what you are talking about..."
OK!
It's a waste of effort!
She didn't admit her identity at all.
Seeing this, Li Beifeng had no choice.
The other person was unwilling to admit it, and no matter how much he asked, it would be useless. It seemed that he could only look for other people.
Li Beifeng did not entangle any more and got up and left.
The old peasant woman was still squatting by the river, washing the clothes in her hands.
After an unknown period of time, she suddenly stopped what she was doing. Looking ahead, her empty eyes were silent for a long time, and at some point, she seemed to have a bit more sadness.
…
After leaving the river, Li Beifeng did not leave for the time being, but walked around the small village for a few times.
The small village was not big, and it was only two or three miles away from the county town. It was estimated that there were only about forty or fifty households.
Compared with the prosperous Chaoyang County dozens of miles away, such a small village was indeed very inconspicuous.
The village was deserted, and there were very few people. After walking around twice, Li Beifeng finally saw a figure in a piece of land outside the village.
An old man in his 40s or 50s, with dark skin, short and strong, looked like a man who worked on the farm all year round.
"Old man!"
Li Beifeng shouted while standing by the land.
The old man who was still working on the farm turned around and glanced at Li Beifeng on the roadside, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
A strange face?
He is fair and clean, and at first glance he is a scholar from the city. If these scholars don't stay in the city, why would they come to a remote country like them?
"What's the matter?" the old man asked.
"That's right, old man, I'm from the county. Are you from this village? I have something I want to ask you about..."
Li Beifeng said.
Unexpectedly, this old man just glanced sideways at Li Beifeng, his tone seemed a little impatient, and he waved his hand: "No time...don't you see I'm busy?"
After that, the old man turned around and continued his work.
He has no time to deal with such a scholar.
He probably didn't know what was wrong and came here to experience life. He seemed very retarded by asking questions... so he had no time to answer.
Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment, but he was a little surprised by the old man's attitude.
But after a moment, he reacted again. Then he reached into his arms and felt around, and took out something.
"Old man!"
"What are you doing...all you say is that I have no time to take care of you..."
The old man turned around impatiently and was about to scold the fair scholar. When he turned around and saw what Li Beifeng was holding, the words that were on his lips suddenly swallowed back.
He saw Li Beifeng stretch out a hand with something in it.
What is that?
That's...a piece of white silver!
When he saw the silver, the old man was stunned. The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up.
There was greed and desire that could not be concealed in his eyes. (audience)
The impact of this ingot of silver was really great. The old man had never had so much silver in his life.
At a rough glance, there are at least thirty or forty taels.
At this time, Li Beifeng looked at the old man with a smile: "Old man, answer me a few questions. This money is yours...how about it?"
The old man couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, his tone was trembling, and he said excitedly: "Really?"
"Of course, I never lie!"
Li Beifeng threw the silver in the air and landed it in his hand.
The old man's eyes followed Li Beifeng's hand to the air and back again.
The next second, he quickly arrived in front of Li Beifeng. With a face full of enthusiasm, he said attentively: "Young Master, what do you want to ask... Just ask, to be honest with you, I have lived in this village for decades, and no one knows this place better than me... "
"..."
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
The old man in front of him fully proved the authenticity of this sentence.
After seeing Yinzi, the old man's attitude suddenly changed 120 degrees. He groveled in front of Li Beifeng and talked about everything.
Li Beifeng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the old man, pointed in a certain direction of the village behind him, and asked: "Let me ask you, do you know that the family at the end of your village is the blind old man? Do you know her well?"
The old man looked in the direction of Li Beifeng's finger and was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly realized: "You are talking about the blind old woman? Of course I know her..."
As soon as he mentioned this person, the old man suddenly became interested: "Let me tell you, that old woman has a very weird personality and can't get along with others... She has a very stubborn temper. She is really a weirdo..."
"How to say?"
Li Beifeng asked: "Do you know her origin?"
"Of course I know, she was not originally from our village..."
The old man thought about it and said: "Probably more than ten years ago, this old woman came to live with us from other places... No one knows her origins, and of course, no one cares. I have an impression of her. , just because this old woman has a very stubborn temper and acts very strangely..."
At this point, the old man lowered his voice and whispered: "I remember once a few years ago, I secretly went to her house and took a peek. Guess what, I was shocked...her house , there is actually a spiritual place..."
"It's not just me, other people have also seen it. I heard that the memorial tablet is that of the emperor and queen of the subjugated Northern Qi Dynasty... This news alarmed the people in the Yamen at that time, and the Yamen's police officers came. But the strange thing is that no evidence was found from her home...I suspect that she hid it secretly..."
"Later, some people began to spread the news, saying that this old woman was originally a maid of the Northern Qi royal family, a maid beside the empress. She fled here after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty..."
Hearing this, Li Beifeng raised his eyebrows: "Is this the reason?"
"Of course not. I once secretly watched her. The temperament of that old woman is indeed different from ours... Young Master, you may not believe it. No one cares about rough people like us. However, Young Master, you have an outstanding temperament. People can tell at a glance that they are different from others, and that old woman is like this... Although she looks no different from us, I can still tell at a glance that she is indeed no ordinary person..."
The old man was so excited that he was foaming at the mouth.
Li Beifeng thought for a moment and then asked: "You just said... that she has a weird personality?"
"That's right, she has a bad temper. She has been in our village for more than ten years, but she still doesn't have a good relationship with the village. She doesn't interact with others at all on weekdays..."
At this point, the old man seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and sighed: "But she is also a pitiful person...she has become blind in her old age, and she still has to raise a girl..."
"Girl?"
Li Beifeng keenly caught the words in the old man's tone: "Does she have a daughter?"
"That's right!"
The old man nodded and shook his head: "The girl is not her own, but she picked her up. The girl is very cute, obedient and well-behaved. It's just a pity for the mother and daughter. The girl has been very sensible since she was a child, tut tut..."
As if thinking of something, the old man was also very regretful.
Li Beifeng did not continue to ask, he knew what was going on without thinking.
A blind peasant woman, a little girl, mother and daughter depend on each other... In such a backward village, it is not easy to survive.
And at this moment, Li Beifeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "By the way, where is her daughter?"
The old man pointed in a direction, which was the village next door.
"There is a teacher in the next village who opened a private school and taught the children of poor families in our village who couldn't afford to go to school for free. The girl was studying there..."
"That old man is really the reincarnation of a saint, highly respected..."
The old man praised the teacher and obviously admired him very much.
But at this time, the old man seemed to think of something again, and looked at Li Beifeng strangely: "Young Master... Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious."
Li Beifeng perfunctorily passed it over.
"Then...Young Master..."
The old man looked at Li Beifeng's hand greedily and cautiously, and his eyes couldn't hide his desire for silver.
Li Beifeng then threw the silver in his hand to him: "It's yours!"
The old man took the silver and was immediately excited. He thanked him repeatedly, bowed and bent over, and carefully put the silver away like a treasure. That look was as if he was afraid that Li Beifeng would regret it and take it back.
Li Beifeng didn't pay much attention to the old man, but turned to look at the next village not far away. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked towards the next village.
...
In a dilapidated school.
Dim environment, simple tables and chairs.
In the school, more than a dozen children were sitting neatly, reciting the catchy text in unison.
In front of the students, stood an old man with white hair, obviously the teacher of this school.
Listening to the students' recitation, the teacher showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Among these dozen students, there are boys and girls, the youngest is only four or five years old, and the oldest is already twelve or thirteen years old.
Li Beifeng stood not far away, watching this scene, staring for a long time.
For some reason, his mood was a little complicated.
In this era, the gap between reading and not reading is indeed a bit big. Reading can make a difference, this is something everyone firmly believes.
If you can pass the high school entrance examination, it will be a great honor to your ancestors and a complete turn of events. Even if you can't pass the exam to become a juren, if you pass the exam to become a xiucai, you will definitely be a superior person.
The gap between a xiucai and an ordinary person is also extremely large.
Therefore, as long as there is a chance, you naturally want to send your children to school.
However, what Li Beifeng didn't expect was that... in this era, the idea of favoring boys over girls still exists. Even if the images of the eldest princess and Li Suyi influence the views of the world, the deep-rooted ideas are difficult to change.
Ordinary people think about raising a girl quickly and then finding a good family to marry and get rid of the burden. As for letting a girl learn to read and go to school, that is a treatment only for wealthy families. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜
As for poor people, it is not easy to have a meal, let alone learn to read and write.
At this moment, there are still four or five girls in the school in front of Li Beifeng.
The four or five girls are sitting upright in the school, with serious and focused expressions on their faces.
Li Beifeng's eyes swept over these four or five girls.
One of the girls caught his attention.
The girl was about ten years old. She was thin and her skin was slightly yellow due to malnutrition.
But the girl's eyes were bright and her face was delicate. She had some signs of being a beauty.
If she is well trained, she will probably become a rare beauty in a few years.
The girl had a bun and her clothes were worn but clean.
At this moment, she was staring at the teacher in front of her with a sharp gaze, very seriously.
The teaching in the school was still going on.
In such a shabby school, the students' enthusiasm for learning did not decrease at all.
Li Beifeng stood not far away, staring at all this quietly without disturbing them.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a burst of cheers in the school.
Then, the children in the school ran out one by one and played around.
At this time, the old gentleman also walked out of the school. Soon, he noticed Li Beifeng not far away, stopped, frowned slightly and looked at Li Beifeng.
"Who are you?"
The old gentleman's tone was a little cautious.
He had never seen the young man in front of him before.
Although the clothes on the young man did not seem expensive, his temperament was not something that a country bumpkin could possess.
At first glance, he was either rich or noble.
Li Beifeng looked at the old gentleman and smiled softly: "Hello, old gentleman, I'm here to look for someone. Excuse me... Is Xiaosi here?"
Xiaosi was the nickname of the blind old peasant woman.
The old gentleman looked at Li Beifeng with a slightly vigilant look, although he could not tell the origin of this young man.
But he did not feel any hostility from the person he was facing. The old gentleman thought for a moment, turned around and shouted: "Xiao Si!"
At the same time, a little girl in the school came out and walked to the side of the old gentleman: "Sir, are you looking for me?"
The voice was soft and soft, and the voice was very light.
She also saw Li Beifeng not far away, and seemed to be a little shy. She looked timidly and hid behind the old gentleman, not daring to look at Li Beifeng.
This girl was the girl that Li Beifeng had noticed just now.
The old gentleman touched Xiao Si's head dotingly and said: "This young man is looking for you... Do you know him?"
Xiao Si blinked her eyes and quietly showed her head from behind the old gentleman. She looked at Li Beifeng timidly, and then shook her head: "No, I don't know him..."
The old gentleman squinted his eyes and looked at Li Beifeng: "This young man, Xiao Si said she doesn't know you, you are..."
Li Beifeng naturally knew that the old gentleman had begun to be wary of him.
However, these were all expected.
He looked at the little girl hiding behind the old man, then looked at the old man again and said, "Old man, can you... let me talk for a moment?"
The old man stared at Li Beifeng for a long time, and finally nodded.
...
A small house not far from the school.
The small house is very small and can only accommodate one person.
This is where the old man lives.
Seeing this scene, Li Beifeng was somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that the old man should have a good family. Otherwise, how could he afford to teach children for free.
However, when he saw the living environment of the old man, Li Beifeng denied this idea.
An old man with such a poor living environment does not look like he has a good family.
"What is your name, sir?"
The old man poured Li Beifeng a cup of tea.
Tea is the most common and cheap tea, and a mouthful of tea residue is full of tea residue.
Li Beifeng put down the teacup and said, "My name is Li Beifeng, nice to meet you, old gentleman!"
The old gentleman looked at Li Beifeng and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li has something important to do here today?"
"I heard about your deeds and came to visit you..."
Li Beifeng paused and said seriously, "You teach the children for free. This is really noble and selfless, really touching, and I really admire you..."
"I don't deserve it!"
The old gentleman shook his head, "I just did my best!"
Li Beifeng shook his head and said, "Before I came, I thought the old gentleman should have a wealthy family, so he was doing good deeds and giving free lessons to the children. But I didn't expect that the old gentleman was willing to do such a good deed when he was living in such a tight situation. It really makes me admire him, and I am really ashamed..."
"The old gentleman's ideological realm is difficult for me to reach no matter what..."
If nothing else, just because the old gentleman teaches the children for free, it is worthy of Li Beifeng's admiration.
Nowadays, there are not many people who are willing to be so selfless.
"Mr. Li, you are too kind. I don't deserve it..."
The old man shook his head repeatedly.
"I am a little curious. With your ability, if you go to the county town or other places to be a teacher, you will not be rich, but at least you will have no worries about food and clothing... Why are you willing to stay here and teach these children for free?"
The old man sighed, and after a while, he spoke: "If I don't teach these children, they will have no books to read... If they don't read, they will always have to live in this small mountain village. I can't do much, I can only try my best to change their fate..."
The old man didn't say much about the specific reason, and Li Beifeng didn't continue to ask.
Everyone has their own choice, and as for the reason, it is not convenient to tell outsiders...
Li Beifeng glanced at the school not far from the window, and suddenly said: "Old man, I look at the school... It seems to be a few years old. I am afraid there will be some hidden dangers for students to study here?"
In Li Beifeng's eyes, this school is already a dangerous building.
Not to mention the leaks everywhere, the precarious beams and pillars are basically rotten, and I'm afraid they will collapse one day...
When mentioning this matter, the old man's eyes also showed a little more worry, but his tone was very helpless: "There is no way... It's not easy to teach children, where is the extra money to repair the school. Over the years, thanks to the help of some kind-hearted people, the school was barely opened. But now, the school has become worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer students. I'm afraid I don't know how long it can last..."
It can be seen that the old man still has a lot of feelings for this school.
Yes, he is willing to teach here for free and is not afraid of poverty. I'm afraid that without a firm love, he can't stick to it.
The old man came back to his senses, and an apologetic look appeared on his face: "I don't know what Mr. Li wants to say to me?"
Li Beifeng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Old man, I can sponsor you to rebuild the school..."
Hearing this, the old man was stunned.
Then, he looked at Li Beifeng in disbelief, "You, what did you say?"
"Old sir, I can sponsor you funds to help you rebuild this school!"
Li Beifeng looked at him and said seriously: "Not only will the school be repaired, I will also provide you with other teaching facilities so that every child here can study with peace of mind and afford food..."
Now that he is here, now that he has seen this, Li Beifeng naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Even the old gentleman with gray hair in front of him could teach these children so selflessly. Of course, Li Beifeng couldn't remain indifferent, he had to do something.
For him, repairing a school is just a piece of cake. He couldn't help everyone in the world, but now that he saw it, he couldn't sit back and ignore it.
At this moment, the old gentleman became extremely excited after hearing Li Beifeng's words.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Li Beifeng with an excited tone and a trembling voice: "Li, Mr. Li...are you telling the truth? But is it true?!"
"Of course, I'm not kidding!"
Li Beifeng said and took out another package from his arms.
Inside the package was some silver.
"Old sir, this is all the money I have today. You can take it for now and improve the lives of the children. When I get back, I will call someone to repair the school..."
He went out in a hurry today and didn't bring much money with him.
I just gave the old man another ingot of silver, and now I probably still have less than twenty or thirty taels of silver left in my body.
These twenty or thirty taels of silver are indeed not very much in the county.
But for such a mountain village and such an old gentleman, this is undoubtedly... a huge sum of money that he has never seen in his life.
Seeing the silver in front of him, the old gentleman was completely stunned.
This shock was no less than that of the old man before.
Such a lot of money... let alone repairing the school, there is no need for that much money.
This also made the old gentleman realize that the young man in front of him was a noble man!
After staring at the silver for a long time, the old man suddenly looked at Li Beifeng and was about to kneel down in the next second.
Li Beifeng had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly helped him up: "Old sir, what are you doing? You can't do it, you can't do it..."
The old man burst into tears with excitement: "Mr. Li, on behalf of all the children, thank you, you, you are really a kind person..."
For Li Beifeng, let alone twenty or thirty taels, even two or three hundred taels, for him now, he doesn't take it seriously.
Although he left Ping'an County, the pharmacy he stayed in Ping'an County was still making money.
Since suppressing Cao Yan's monopoly, and with the protection of the Su family and the Shen family, Li Beifeng's pharmacy has been in good order. Although it can't be regarded as a gold medal nowadays, for Li Beifeng today, money... he really doesn't lack it.
Not to mention, he is surrounded by rich women now.
It goes without saying that Shen Qingning, with the scale of her father's business, is not short of money at all.
Needless to say, the eldest princess, the royal princess, the whole world belongs to her family, will she be short of money?
Therefore, Li Beifeng really didn't take this money seriously.
But for the old gentleman, this money... is nothing but life-saving money!
These days, the school is actually almost unable to survive.
The school was getting worse and worse, and he was getting older and more and more unable to do his job. If he falls, what will these children do?
Well now, here comes the noble man!
There was hope for the school again, how could he not be excited and happy?
…
In the school, Li Beifeng walked around the school.
He had already informed people to go to the inn and contact the manager.
It's estimated that it won't take long for the shopkeeper to arrange all this.
After Li Beifeng walked around in a circle, he came to the grass outside the school.
On the grass, many children are playing there.
Li Beifeng came to the little girl named Xiaosi.
Xiaosi was obviously a little scared of strangers, and glanced at Li Beifeng timidly, his eyes a little evasive and frightened.
"Xiao Si, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"
Li Beifeng tried his best to keep his smile friendly.
Xiao Si looked at Li Beifeng timidly, remembering her previous teacher's teachings in her mind.
The husband said that this elder brother was a benefactor and came to help them. He was not a bad person but a good person.
Thinking of this, Xiaosi nodded vigorously: "I, I'm not afraid. The husband said, brother, you are a good person..."
Seeing this scene, Li Beifeng felt a little distressed.
This little girl was obviously scared and nervous, but she pretended not to be scared.
Li Beifeng smiled and said: "Good person? Sir, did you tell me that I am a good person?"
"Um!"
Xiaosi nodded vigorously: "Sir, you said you are here to help us..."
Thinking of this, Xiaosi opened her eyes wide again, looked at Li Beifeng, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a cautious voice: "Sir, he said... we will have a new school soon, is it true?"
"It's true!"
Li Beifeng nodded and said: "In the future, you will have a new school to attend, and there will also be a new teacher to teach you how to read and write. In the future... you will not go hungry..."
"Very good!"
Xiaosi's eyes burst out with joy.
The skin that was originally slightly yellow seemed to have a new glow.
"Thank you brother..."
Xiao Si seemed to react, looking at Li Beifeng, and still spoke seriously.
His face was also full of gratitude and happiness. After all, he was still a child...although he looked very sensible.
Li Beifeng subconsciously reached out to touch her head, but Xiao Si also subconsciously avoided it, causing his hand to miss.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Si quickly showed a guilty look on his face: "Brother, I'm sorry..."
"fine!"
Li Beifeng waved his hand. The little girl was very vigilant, which was good.
He changed the subject: "Xiao Si, where do you live at home?"
"there……"
Xiao Si was confused and pointed in a direction.
It was in the direction of the blind old village woman.
"Who's at home?"
"Me and my mother!"
"Then did you listen to your mother at home?"
"have!"
"..."
While Li Beifeng was still exchanging friendly feelings with the little girl, a voice came from not far away.
"miss?"
Hearing this voice, Xiaosi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately stood up and walked in one direction.
"Mother!"
Li Beifeng turned around and saw an old village woman with insomnia standing on the roadside not far away, leaning on a cane.
Xiaosi ran all the way and threw herself into her mother's arms.
The old village woman stroked her hair with a doting look on her face and asked, "Siannian, have you listened to your husband today?"
"have!"
Xiao Si nodded seriously.
Li Beifeng stood not far away, looking at the mother and daughter, a very warm scene.
The old man said that this old village woman had a cold personality and was inhumane... Maybe that wasn't the case.
At this time, Xiaosi seemed to have said something to her mother and pointed in the direction of Li Beifeng.
Then, under the leadership of Xiao Si, he walked away towards Li Beifeng.
"Brother, this is my mother..."
Xiaosi looked at Li Beifeng and introduced in a low voice.
Then he looked at my mother: "Mother, this is the big benefactor and elder brother I mentioned first..."
"Hello, benefactor!"
Although the old village woman could not see her eyes, she still said excitedly: "Thank you for taking care of Xiaosi, and thank you for everything you have done. I am a great benefactor..."
Li Beifeng looked at the old village woman, and then at Xiao Si who looked happy. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "It's okay, this is what I should do."
However, the moment the old village woman heard Li Beifeng's voice.
There was a sudden tremor all over her body.
His face suddenly changed.
The next second, she subconsciously protected Xiaosi behind her.
"You?! It's you?!"
The old village woman's voice suddenly changed.
She recognized Li Beifeng's voice.
Her expression was extremely vigilant, and she said with a fierce expression: "What do you want to do?!"
Li Beifeng sighed, he knew this would happen.
After a pause, he spoke softly: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I really didn't mean any harm..."
However, the old village woman didn't believe it at all.
She didn't know who the young man in front of her was, but his purpose... was too obvious!
He actually found his daughter? !
This made her feel frightened and extremely angry at the same time.
"You, if you dare to do harm to Missing, I will fight you tooth and nail..."
She spoke angrily.
Such a style of painting made Xiao Si behind him confused!
She didn't know what happened, why... was her mother so angry suddenly?
Why was she angry at her eldest brother?
This, what's going on?
"mother……"
She carefully tugged on her mother's sleeve.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Si. With your mother here, no one can bully you!"
The old village woman protected Xiao Si behind her and said in a sharp and angry tone: "What do you want to do? Just come at me, don't do anything to my daughter!"
"Let's talk!"
Li Beifeng looked at the village woman in front of him. Since he had been misunderstood, then... he might as well use the trick.
"I think you won't refuse!"
The old village woman was silent!
Obviously, Xiaosi is her lifeblood!
He didn't expect this young man to be so vicious. He couldn't find any clues from himself, but he found her daughter...
Fortunately she appeared in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
However, she understood... things were far from over.
After weighing it for a long time, she finally made a decision.
…
Among the huts.
Dim hut, simple room.
Xiaosi obediently poured a bowl of water for Li Beifeng.
The water was brought from the well, and the bowl was still partially broken.
Li Beifeng touched Xiaosi's hair.
This time, Xiao Si did not dodge.
But her little eyes were full of worry.
Looking at my mother and elder brother, I didn't know what was going on.
But she was obedient and didn't speak.
"Xiaosi, you go out to play first!"
The old village woman spoke.
Xiaosi looked at Li Beifeng worriedly, and Li Beifeng gave her a reassuring look.
Xiao Si then left the room.
After she left, only Li Beifeng and the blind old village woman sitting at the table opposite were left in the room.
The old village woman's tone was cold: "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I did not have any ill intentions when I came here today...I came to you today just to ask you about a few things...other than that, I have no other intention!"
Li Beifeng spoke.
The old village woman's tone was still cold: "Ask."
"Are you... the maid in the Imperial Palace of Northern Qi?"
Li Beifeng asked directly.
The old village woman hesitated!
She was silent for a moment.
Finally, she said: "It's already a thing of the past, why bring it up?"
Admitted!
Li Beifeng already had a conclusion in his mind.
"Since you were a maid in the Northern Qi Palace back then... you should be very familiar with what happened in the palace when the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, right?"
The old village woman's eyes gradually became alert: "What do you want to ask?"
"I heard that when the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the Northern Qi royal family was slaughtered. But... there was still a child of the Northern Qi royal family who escaped and was sent out of the palace by the people in the palace at that time... This is the case Something?"
The old village woman's expression changed.
When she was about to speak, Li Beifeng said again: "You don't have to lie about this matter, everyone in the world has already known it!"
The old village woman said coldly: "Since you know, why are you still asking me?"
The old village woman's tone was still cold: "Ask."
"Are you... the maid in the Northern Qi Palace back then?"
Li Beifeng asked directly.
The old village woman hesitated!
She was silent for a moment.
Finally, she said: "It's already a thing of the past, why bring it up?"
