The old woman's house was not far from the village, in the small courtyard fenced by a fence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a big locust tree in the courtyard, which is much higher than the fence courtyard wall, looking at the stoutness, it must be more than a hundred years to say the least, and it has witnessed the decline of this family without words, which makes people feel a little sad out of thin air.

The dilapidated log cabin is struggling to support it, even if it leaks on rainy days and the side is ventilated, it has never collapsed, maybe it also pities this lonely old woman.

Walking into the hall, you can see that there is a room on each side of the hall, although it is very dilapidated, it is very clean and tidy, and the old woman must have cleaned it often. There are two dilapidated wings in the courtyard, which do not have anything useful except for some old sundries.

The old woman's home can be described in eight words, dilapidated and unfrequent.

Mu Zhiyu couldn't care about the sadness anymore, and hurriedly let the old woman lie on the kang, took out a silver needle and began to prick her legs.

Murong Ling Che called Ling Xuan to the courtyard and instructed him to send some people to repair the old woman's house, and then send some people to the town to buy some coal, quilts, and ingredients.

Ling Xuan took the order and left.

Murong Lingche's heart was extremely complicated. From the furnishings in that room, it can be concluded that the old woman must have a son, but where did her son go?

An old man in his fifties, living alone, enduring hunger and cold, and spending two days and one night in the town to buy rice and come back, such a scene, anyone who sees it will feel uncomfortable, let alone an emperor who cares about the world?

Although this is not the land of Ziling, Murong Lingche thinks that he has the obligation to take care of the poor people here. Although there will be poor families everywhere, even if they are prosperous and rich, it is impossible to completely take care of every family, but since he has met him, it is impossible for him to sit idly by.

Murong Lingche summoned Ling Feng and Huo Qingqing again, and asked the two of them to take a few people to go around this village to see how many such families there were, and what the specific reasons were. In his opinion, it cannot be simply poverty.

By the time Murong Lingche walked into the house, Mu Zhiyu had already given the old woman an injection, and according to the prescription she wrote, she had already sent Ling Jiu to the pharmacy in the town to grab the medicine.

The old woman looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you, you are such wonderful people! ”

"Auntie, don't say that, these are what we should do."

Mu Zhiyu's heart was sour, and he couldn't imagine that the people they began to see had a simple and satisfying life, but they were all one-sided, in this world, where they couldn't see, how many such families existed?

Murong Lingche gently patted Mu Zhiyu's shoulder, giving her silent comfort, Mu Zhiyu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Auntie, are you alone in this family?" Do you go to town every time you go to buy food like this time? ”

The old woman's expression darkened when she heard this, she couldn't help wiping her tears, and choked up: "Girl, son, you don't know that a lonely old man like me is not a minority in this village!" ”

Mu Zhiyu frowned and said, "What about your family?" Don't have children? ”

The old woman couldn't hold back her tears and whispered, "Once, too, I had a complete and harmonious home. I have a son who should be thirty-two years old this year. Eight years ago, it was the beginning of a nightmare for this family, and at the same time the beginning of the doom of the whole village......"

The son of this old woman is one of those young men who went up to the Ice Valley Snow Mountain to go missing, in the past, the people in this village used to go up the mountain to hunt for a living, and there were often people on the Ice Valley Snow Mountain, and there were occasional accidents, but there has never been a large number of men missing.

Since eight years ago, the men who went up to the Ice Valley Snow Mountain began to disappear one after another, the old woman's son is called Zhao Quanzhu, after the disappearance of his partner in the same village, he took people up the mountain to look for him, and then he never returned......

Later, Zhao Quanzhu's daughter-in-law left home with her five-year-old son, and the old woman's wife went because she couldn't bear the blow, and the old woman always believed that her son was not dead and would come back one day, so she insisted on waiting alone, which was eight years.

Since then, no villager has dared to climb the Ice Valley Snow Mountain, and those people have never returned, no one knows where they went, and over time, there is a saying that there are man-eating beasts on the Ice Valley Snow Mountain......

However, the disciples of the Lingyu Palace, who came back from the Ice Valley Snow Mountain, said that there were indeed fierce beasts on the mountain, but they did not have the strong aggression that the villagers had passed on, and they had not seen anyone's white bones. Whether those men were alive or dead, alive, where they were, and where their bodies were, no one knew.

Murong Lingche and Mu Zhiyu both thought that this matter must be related to the secluded prison place on the Ice Valley Snow Mountain, it seemed that if they wanted to find out the truth of the matter and find those missing men, they could only wait for the Ice Valley Snow Mountain to rescue the old men in the Hidden Pavilion.

When the old woman learned that they were going to the Ice Valley Snow Mountain, she looked shocked and hurriedly advised, "Absolutely not! Those who go up to the ice valley and snow mountain will not be able to come back alive, you must not go! ”

"Don't get excited, auntie. We are here to go up to the ice valley and snow mountain to find people, if we can find those missing men by the way, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? And only by going to the snow-capped mountains can we unravel the reason why these men disappeared eight years ago. I'm sure you would very much like your son to come back, my aunt. ”

When the old woman heard Mu Zhiyu say that her son could come back, her eyes lit up obviously, but at that moment, they darkened again, and said with a wry smile: "Of course I hope that my son can come back, but eight years have passed, and it is just my luxury." What happened back then is in the past, and if they are not destined to return, how can I let you venture again? Girl, childe, and aunt know that you are all good people, and you are not ordinary people, but you listen to the advice of the eldest mother, don't go, okay? ”

The old woman's eyes were already full of desire, Mu Zhiyu could see that she was genuinely concerned and worried about them, and then smiled: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about us. Before coming, our people had already gone to the top of the ice valley and snowy mountains, and had come back alive, and we came this time to find the person we were looking for. Auntie, please believe us, if those who disappeared eight years ago are still alive, we will definitely bring them back. ”

"Really? Girl, you're right, someone really came back from there alive? ”

The old woman suddenly shook Mu Zhiyu's hand excitedly and asked in disbelief. (To be continued.) )
