Xie Tingzhou stopped looking at her and paused when he picked up the clothes. The tears in the clothes were all twisted and the threads were not of the same color, like a centipede crawling on the clothes.

No wonder Shigure was a little embarrassed when he said it just now. Xie Tingzhou, who was used to being fastidious, couldn't decide whether to wear clothes or to stay cold.

After a while, he took a breath and put on his clothes.

When I went out, I saw him talking and laughing with the old man. When the old man was cooking, he sat behind the stove and lit the fire.

I don't know what he put on his face before. It was so dark, but now it has been washed off. His facial features are still the same as before. His fair complexion makes his face beautiful and a bit heroic.

There are seven or eight households in the village. It is close to the edge of the village and there is a big tree next to it.

Xie Tingzhou stood in front of the door.

A goshawk flew over the sky, the sunset was in full bloom, and wisps of smoke and glow merged together. Xie Tingzhou actually tasted a rare sense of tranquility at this moment.

He has been in a high position since he was born. In this life, he is destined not to live an ordinary life like other people.

"It's time to eat." The old man smiled and waved to him.

Xie Tingzhou nodded and walked over. He had not eaten for a whole day and a night, and his stomach was so empty that he felt a little uncomfortable with acid reflux.

Vegetables are scarce in the snowy winter, so the dinner table is full of pickled vegetables, potatoes, two red eggs, and a bowl of hot wild duck soup, which is very rich.

Shen Yu was very grateful. When they met by chance, the old man used everything he had to entertain them. Unfortunately, she was penniless now.

She thought that the old man would definitely be reluctant to leave home when he got old. After returning, she would send someone to repair the hut for grandpa and give him some silver. This would ensure that he would have no worries in his later years and grandpa would not have to drag his old body with him. Went up to the mountains to hunt.

Xie Tingzhou's gestures and gestures were all dignified, and it seemed that he did not come from an ordinary family. The old man did not dare to talk to him, but he had a very good chat with Shen Yu.

"The family at the head of the village just gave birth to a big fat boy. I shot a pheasant and sent it to him. They gave him these red eggs."

The old man pushed the red eggs in front of the two of them. When he went to deliver the things, he didn't say that he had guests at home, so they only gave them two.

Shen Yu refused and said with a smile: "I don't like eggs, grandpa, you can eat them."

The old man placed both eggs in front of Xie Tingzhou and said cautiously: "Eat it, it will replenish your body."

Xie Tingzhou looked at the eggs without saying anything. The red eggs made him fall into a bad memory.

Someone suddenly pinched my arm, and I picked up a lump of rice in the bowl with my chopsticks.

He turned to look at Shigure beside him and asked him with his eyes why he was kidnapping him.

Shigure winked at him.

Seeing that he didn't understand, he lowered his voice and said, "Be more easy-going."

Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips. It was the first time he heard such a request. He turned around and saw the old man holding a bowl. He was distressed and moved the rice he had just dropped into his own bowl.

Xie Tingzhou was moved. He glanced at the untouched rice in the bowl and put some into the old man's bowl. Seeing this, the old man wanted to refuse, but because of his expression, he didn't dare to move. He held the chopsticks in a hurry. Keep saying enough is enough.

"How many people are there in my father-in-law's family?" Xie Tingzhou took the initiative to speak halfway through the meal.

The father-in-law said: "There used to be several families, including my wife and two sons."

"What about them?" After Shen Yu asked, she noticed that Xie Tingzhou glanced at her.

"I'm the only one left now," the father-in-law said, looking at the table. "Both sons joined the army and never came back after going to the front line. My daughter-in-law ran away, and my half-year-old grandson was sick and unable to survive." It made my wife sad and sad, and then she went too. Now Dahuang is with me.”

Shen Yu knew what Xie Tingzhou's look meant, and she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Aren't he and my husband the same? All his relatives died on the battlefield and only he was left.

She was doing better, and she still had her grandmother who loved her to the core in Hezhou, and her younger sister Shen Yan, who was not close but related by blood, but her father-in-law was really the only one left.

Xie Tingzhou saw his eyes turning red again.

Shen Yu noticed his gaze and suddenly laughed, "Grandpa, if you don't dislike me, you will treat me as your grandson from now on. I will come to see you when I have time."

The old man waved his hands quickly, "I can't do it, I can't do it. You look like a noble person at first glance. How can you recognize an old man like me as your grandfather? If I say it out and make people laugh, I can't do it."

"I have never met my grandpa," Shen Yu said, "I will kiss you when I see you. I have called you grandpa so many times, and you can't deny it."

Shen Yu's grandfather also died on the battlefield. Shen Zhongan was not married at that time, so he went to the battlefield with a knife.

How could any high-ranking man be willing to marry his daughter to a general who had been guarding the border all year round? Besides, Shen Zhongan had not yet become famous at that time.

But one time when he was returning to Beijing to report on his work, he met the legitimate daughter of the Lu family in Hezhou, and the two went to Beijing together, and that was how they became Shen Zhao and Shen Yu.

After dinner, it was already dark.

The old man had rested early. Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu had slept all day and were not sleepy at all.

It was very cold at night, and walking under the moonlight was something no one wanted to do, so the two of them could only stay in the house.

There was little furniture in the room, just a wooden bed and a small table.

Shen Yu lay on the table and said, "This is far from the county seat. I heard from grandpa that there is a medical clinic in a town not far away. I will go get some medicine and come back tomorrow to find out more information. Your Highness will stay here. Rest.”

Although the wound on Xie Tingzhou's back was simply bandaged and some herbs prepared by his father-in-law were applied, the effect was not good.

His wound is actually very painful now, but there is no trace of discomfort on his face.

"You call me Your Highness now? Didn't I call you directly before?"

Shen Yuxun glanced at him, "At this critical moment, the title is not important... right?"

The more she talked, the more uncertain she became. Sometimes she saw Xie Tingzhou as being tolerant and generous, and sometimes he seemed to retaliate, it all depended on his mood.

Xie Tingzhou fiddled with the tea bowl and asked, "Do you have any money to go to town?"

Shen Yu looked at the jade pendant on his waist and then at the ring on his hand, as if she was considering which one to take first.

"If you don't want to die too soon, it's best not to think about these things." Xie Tingzhou reminded.

Shen Yu buried her head in her arms and sighed secretly: "Stingy."

Xie Tingzhou heard clearly. He didn't want to explain at first, but somehow he changed his mind, "If these things are discovered, someone will follow the traces and find them. How can you be sure that you are looking for one of your own and not an assassin?"

"Oh." Shen Yu thought about it for a while. Xie Tingzhou's extraordinary items were too eye-catching when taken out, but she didn't have anything special on her, and the previous package had been lost a long time ago.

She thought for a moment, "Then I have another way."
