Xie Tingzhou handed over the basket in his hand, and Shen Yu opened the cloth on it, and a smell of meat wafted up.

She was so greedy that the last time she had roast chicken was a few months ago in Shengjing.

As soon as he picked up a chicken leg and prepared to bite it, he saw Xie Tingzhou looking directly at him.

"You want to eat too?" Shen Yu handed it to him, "I'll give it to you first."

Xie Tingzhou didn't answer and said calmly: "You dare to enter anything. How vigilant are you as a guard?"

Shen Yu retreated, living a rare and relaxed life these days, always thinking that there would be a tough battle to fight after returning to Beijing. Nowadays, there are not many such relaxed days, and people have become more relaxed.

"Can't you eat it?"

Xie Tingzhou: "If you are not afraid that she will put medicine in it, then you can take it."

"What medicine?" Shen Yu asked, but when she saw Xie Tingzhou's expression, she immediately understood.

As a widow, what medicine can she give? Of course...

Shen Yu thought about it but gave up. She was afraid that she would lose control and knock Xie Tingzhou down after dinner. What should she do?

He is so weak now, so naturally he cannot be stronger than himself.

If the Overlord forces Xie Tingzhou to sleep, will he turn around and send dozens or hundreds of secret guards to hunt him down?

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yu came to her senses, but she didn't dare to eat the chicken again.

"Throw it away then?"

Xie Tingzhou pointed his chin, "Give it something to eat."

Shen Yu blurted out, "You have a vicious heart, what will you do if you eat rhubarb?"

This man is getting bolder and bolder, and he even dares to call him evil.

Xie Tingzhou turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "His sweetheart is at the end of the village."

Shen Yu was surprised, "How did you know?"

"My father-in-law said it." Xie Tingzhou left without looking back, looking a little angry.

Shen Yu curled her lips, looking at the chicken that she couldn't eat, and her mouth watered with greed.

He looked down at Dahuang, who was wagging his tail frequently, and said, "Okay, if you like me, I'll feed you."

Xie Tingzhou didn't talk to Shen Yu all night.

Early the next morning, Rhubarb came back from breakfast wagging its tail and looking very happy.

It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the chicken. Fortunately, he didn't eat it. Otherwise, it would be Xie Tingzhou who would lose his virginity today, and he would be the one who would lose his life.

In the afternoon, my father-in-law went out for a walk, and when he came back he looked solemn.

After dinner, it was getting dark.

The old man went out for a walk, put down the tea party, came back and sat under the eaves and smoked several rolls of local cigarettes in silence before entering the house.

Before dawn, Xie Tingzhou was woken up by a knock on the door.

Xie Tingzhou opened the door and saw his father-in-law standing at the door, holding a coarse cloth bundle in his hand.

The father-in-law walked in by himself, woke up Shigure who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said, "I'll see you off. I'll ask you if you have any questions on the way."

Shen Yu suddenly woke up. They didn't bring any luggage, so they packed it up in a moment.

There was an ox cart outside the courtyard, and the old man was sitting in the cart. When the two of them got on, he drove the cart and set off.

It was windy at night, but fortunately the moonlight covered the ground and I could barely see the road.

The old man sighed and said, "Yesterday I went to the village to check in. The people who came back from the town said that the magistrate of Huaitang County had already found the people in the town, and it was no longer safe here."

Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu were shocked at the same time.

"Grandpa." Shen Yu lost her voice: "How did you know you were looking for us?"

The old man smiled with narrowed eyes and patted the seat beside him, "Xiaoyu, sit here."

Sitting together, the two of them really looked like grandparents.

The father-in-law said slowly: "You have extraordinary bearing and are not like ordinary people. Besides, how can any ordinary person wear such materials and carry a knife?"

Shen Yu choked, "You all know, aren't you afraid that we are bad people?"

"I know," the old man said with a smile, "I found it the day I widened the bed for you. Don't look at the old man, I have bad eyesight, but my heart is bright. You two are good children, especially you."

The old man patted Shen Yu on the shoulder and said, "To please my old man, I recognize you as my grandson."

Xu Shi was about to leave, and Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The father-in-law said: "Go straight from this road to the ferry. After crossing the river, walk ten miles to reach Guandao."

"I gave you some cakes in the bag at the back for you to keep for the journey. Old man, I have no money, so I can only give you these."

Xie Tingzhou touched the baggage. It was still hot. It should be the cake made by his father-in-law overnight.

He opened it and saw another package under the pancake.

Xie Tingzhou patted Shen Yu in front of her. Shen Yu turned around and he handed over the bundle.

Shen Yu couldn't help but shed tears when she saw it. The package under the pancake was a chicken wrapped in vegetable leaves. It had been cooked and was hot and fragrant.

It must have been that day when her grandfather saw her wanting to eat chicken.

"Where did you get the chicken?" Shen Yu asked, holding back tears.

"I borrowed it," the old man said cheerfully, "I will raise another brood of chickens in the spring next year. I will return one chicken then and you will keep the rest."

Shen Yu's eye sockets were shallow and she couldn't hold back the tears, so she hurriedly turned her face away.

I don’t know when I will be able to do this again.

The wheels crunched in the snow.

As if he was afraid that he would not have time to finish his words, the old man muttered to himself: "I originally thought that I am the only one left in the family. If I die any day, I can die. The villagers can just bury me next to my wife and son. But it’s different now.”

The father-in-law said in a light voice, "Now that I have a grandson, I have thoughts about him."

It was getting brighter and the ox cart stopped at the ferry.

The old man shouted, and the boatman on the other side of the ferry came over with his boat.

Shen Yu's eyes were red. She wanted to take her grandfather with her, but the journey was difficult and dangerous, and she might encounter someone who came to assassinate her. She couldn't let her grandfather take the risk.

"You must take care of your health. I will send someone to pick you up when I go back. I will definitely honor you."

The old man touched her head and said, "Good boy, they are all buried here. I have to guard them here."

"Then I'll send you a message." Shen Yu said.

The old man nodded and said, "Go."

The boatman docked, and Shen Yu and Xie Tingzhou walked towards the boat.

As soon as I uploaded it, I saw my father-in-law waving his hand and shouting: "Boatman, wait a minute."

The old man was holding a package in his hand. It was the chicken that Shen Yu secretly left on the bullock cart.

The old man staggered over, panting and stuffing the chicken into Shen Yu's hands, "Grandpa gave it to you, keep it to eat."

The ferry swayed away from the shore, the sun gradually rose, and there was a circling goshawk in the sunlight.

The old man didn't say anything, he just smiled and waved his hand, and the sunlight that had just peeked out of his head fell on his wrinkled face.
