Chapter 327

The place where the smoke from cooking is a mortar-walled thatched house in the village near the edge of the village. Although it looks a bit old outside, the decorations in the yard are well organized. It is not difficult to see that the owner of this small house should be very good at managing life.

Shang Chi stopped in front of the weak courtyard gate and shouted a few times: Is there anyone inside?We are from the Celestial Empire. We have no malice when passing by here, and we just want to change into thick clothes with others.

There was no movement inside for a while, and even the smoke floating outside faded a little.

Seeing this, Ruan Daibing took a step forward with some confusion and shouted again a few times, but it was still like a rock sinking into the sea, and there was no reply in the thatched hut.

This..., do we still need to go in?

If the people inside don't want to be disturbed, then let's go.

Shang Chi looked regretful when he saw this. Now that the war on this border is about to take place, everyone is in danger. No wonder the owner in the house does not trust others.

When the two of them turned around and were about to leave, the sound of the wooden door creaking came from behind. An old woman in burlap looked out tremblingly.

As soon as she saw two thin figures outside the courtyard getting farther and farther away, the old woman sighed first. Although she wondered why there would be people coming to this place where birds could not shit, she finally spoke loudly to the two people who were about to walk away:

Let's wait, it's cold outside...you can come into the house to warm up.

Shang Chi and Ruan Daibing stopped hearing the sound. Seeing that it was a white-haired old man who came out to greet the people, they immediately walked back without any hesitation. They bowed to the old man together and then followed her into the house.

Although this room is not big, it is clean and tidy everywhere, with wooden tables and stools and furniture, and the stove is steaming hot, and something should be stewed in the large iron pot.

Alas, it’s cold and there’s no good food at home. Don’t bother to dislike it.

The old woman bent her body, holding a spoon in one hand and stirred it with a spoon in front of the stove. Shang Chi stood behind her, and the things cooked in the pot were clear at a glance.

The thin rice grains and vegetable leaves were churning in the boiling water, not even porridge, and could only be regarded as a pot of clear soup.

Shang Chi couldn't help frowning, and said with a hint of regret: Grandma, I see that everyone in this village has moved away, why are you still here?

Lao Shi has lived for eighty-seven years, and he has lived enough. When it was Lao Shi's grandson who was fighting against the enemy outside Beiguan Mountain, he didn't know when he would return. Instead of escaping with others and not knowing where to go, it would be better to stay in this old house, saying that Lao Shi could still see him before he died.

The old man sighed harder and heavier, until the end of his eyes were filled with tears. If the situation at the border suddenly became tense, her grandson would have taken the marriage and married.

Ruan Daibing felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. No matter what the outcome of the war was, ordinary people were killed or injured in the end.

The madman who keeps competing for power to satisfy his ambitions will not consider the blood that all this brings.

Miss Ruan, we... Shang Chi looked at the luggage behind them. Before she could finish her words, Ruan Daibing understood what she meant.

There were a lot of jerky meat and dry food in their bags. Ruan Daibing took out most of them, tore some strips of meat and threw them into the pot, and handed the rest to the grandma who was cooking.

We can't finish so much, grandma, please keep these.

The heavy food was in his hands, and the old woman couldn't help but have a red look on her eyes. Since her grandson joined the army, no one has taken care of her like this for a long time.

The old man took it with shamelessness and came while it was hot. The two girls quickly tasted whether the porridge was in harmony.As she said that, she picked up the porcelain bowl beside her and made a full of meat porridge for the two of them. After handing over the chopsticks, the old woman continued:

I just heard in the house that the two girls were missing some thick clothes. You can eat them first, and take out two sets of them to see if they are wearing them. If they are not suitable, you can modify them.

Thank you grandma.

I have to say that they have been sleeping in the open for so many days, and now they can drink a sip of hot things, both of them can't help but squint their eyes comfortably.

After a while, the old woman came slowly with two clothes in her arms. She couldn't help laughing at the delicious food of the two of them and said: By the way, what happened to the two girls here on this border?Going further forward is Beiguan Mountain.

There is no grass there, and the war is chaotic. Not to mention the other side, the ice and snow in the sky are so scary. Don’t move forward.

After eating, Shang Chi wiped the corner of his mouth, she put the bowl on the table and said softly: Grandma, don’t worry too much, we are just looking for someone nearby, and we will leave when we find someone.

When Ruan Daibing heard this, she held the bowl and silently blocked her face. She bit her lips lightly and moved her eyes uneasyly.

Oh, since that's the case, I won't say much. These two clothes are my grandson's old clothes. If you don't dislike them, just wear them.

Seeing that Shang Chi's attitude was firm, the old woman could only sigh and put down her clothes, reminding her: However, the weather has been strange recently, so the two girls must be careful, but don't leave too erratic.

Thank you grandma.

Shang Chi touched the cotton coat. Although the style was ordinary, it was thick and soft, and the pins on it were fine. You could tell at a glance that it was enough effort.

Although the cotton coat is a man's style, fortunately Shang Chi is tall and it's nothing but a fatter one when she wears it on her body. But after Ruan Daibing changed into the cotton coat, she looked like a child wearing adult clothes, and her hands were short and half squeezed into the clothes.

It seemed to be too big... Ruan Daibing rolled up her sleeves while saying that, and then she exposed her slender wrists.

She looked down at the hem of the clothes that were almost drooping to the feet. When she looked at Shang Chi, who was half a head taller than her, she couldn't help but snorted with some jealousy.

It doesn’t matter, the old clothes need to be changed simply, and the girl can fit in it.The old woman laughed and returned to the house to take out the sewing basket. She picked up the bamboo ruler and waved to Ruan Daibing: Come on, I will measure your body shape for you.

Have worked hard.

Ruan Daibing took off her cotton coat and walked over. Shang Chi sat quietly aside. She looked at the number left by the man's slender waist in front of the bamboo ruler, and couldn't help but shake her head gently.

Well, Miss Ruan is really a little too thin...

After modifying the clothes twice, Ruan Daibing put them together. Time passed too fast, and the sun was not yet at its peak. The two of them hurriedly bid farewell to their grandma and continued to rush towards Beiguan Mountain.

The old woman was packing the dishes at home. After picking up the bowls raised on the table, a golden leaf appeared inside. She stood there in surprise, staring in shock at the direction where the two left, and calling out to the nobles.
