921: Chapter 921: Lodging (1) 921: Chapter 921: Lodging (1) “You all sit down first, I’ll go boil some water and then get you a few clothes to change into.” The old couple were very enthusiastic and started bustling about as soon as they came in.

Yang Ruxin wanted to help but they wouldn’t allow it.

“This cotton-padded jacket may look a bit old, but it’s just been starched and washed, it’s clean.” The Li Family brought out three sets of cotton-padded jackets, “You’ll just have to make do with these for now.”

Yang Ruxin didn’t mind at all, because it was apparent the clothes were indeed very clean.

After washing up and changing clothes, the three of them finally revealed their true appearances.

Not to mention Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng, even Lin Xiwang looked not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had a rather likable appearance—if one could ignore the scar on his face.

So, although the clothes were nothing special, they still dazzled the old couple, especially that Gu Qingheng, who was clearly wearing clothes too short for him, yet it did not hinder his elegant demeanor in the slightest.

The old couple were convinced in their hearts that these three people were definitely no ordinary folks, and treated them all the more diligently, even killing a chicken to serve them dinner.

“We’re just a village family, we don’t have much to offer, so don’t be polite,” the old lady Li called out to them, “Eat your fill and rest for the night, you can leave tomorrow.”

Grandpa Shan didn’t talk much, so it was mostly the old lady speaking, with him occasionally nodding with a smile.

“Granny, how far is it to Xun Family Village from here?” Yang Ruxin didn’t hold back, even if the cooking skills were average, the ingredients were all natural, so it wasn’t too bad to eat.

“Xun Family Village, oh, about half a day’s walk,” Old lady Li glanced at Yang Ruxin, “Miss Yang wants to go to Xun Family Village?”

“I just want to ask about someone,” Yang Ruxin smiled.

“Who are you looking for?

I might know,” the old lady Li smiled, “I’m not hiding it from you, my daughter-in-law is from Xun Family Village…”

“I’m looking to ask…”

“Is Granny Li at home?” Before Yang Ruxin could even speak, a voice filled with urgency came from outside.

“Yes, what’s happened?” Old lady Li couldn’t attend to Yang Ruxin anymore and quickly got up.

Grandpa Shan had already gone to open the door.

“Granny, please come take a look, what’s happened to Baowawa?” Soon after, a woman came in holding a two- or three-year-old child, whose little face was bright red, obviously with a fever, and seemed quite restless, occasionally shuddering.

The woman seemed a bit uncomfortable upon seeing others inside the room.

“Please sit down,” Old lady Li got up, washed her hands, then gestured for the woman to sit and touched the child’s little hand to feel his pulse.

After a while, she took her hand back, “Baowawa was frightened by a chicken…”

“Yes, it was this morning.

I went into the chicken coop to collect eggs, and Baowawa followed me.

The rooster suddenly fluttered its wings.

The child didn’t cry at the time, so I didn’t think much of it…”

“You go ahead and eat, I’ll go soothe the child and come back,” Old lady Li glanced at Yang Ruxin, “Don’t be shy.”

“Sister Xin, this granny is amazing,” Lin Xiwang looked astonished, “even better than the traveling doctors in our village.”

Yang Ruxin just smiled, true masters were indeed among the people.

Old lady Li returned quite quickly, saying the child was now sleeping peacefully, but she seemed quite tired herself, so Yang Ruxin didn’t feel right asking any more questions.

The three spent the night at the Shan family’s home, as their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all not home, so there was room to stay.
