But she suppressed her shock, and didn't show any strange expression on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "We are just passing by. It's getting late, and we saw that there are people living here, so we thought of coming here to stay for one night. Is it convenient?"
The woman was silent, looking at Fengjiu and Lengshuang outside the door, then glanced at their mounts, and hesitated slightly.
"Mom, mom, let this handsome brother and sister stay here! Yangyang likes the handsome brother."
The little boy, about four or five years old, pulled his mother's sleeve and shook it gently. His childish voice was soft and tender, and his beautiful and clear eyes were filled with hope, pleading and longing, which made people unable to refuse.
Seeing this, the woman showed a loving expression, touched the child's head, and said to Fengjiu and Lengshuang, "Please come in! My humble abode is simple, so please don't be offended if I can't help you."
She opened the door and leaned sideways to make a gesture of invitation. Because the door was open, Fengjiu and Lengshuang saw that there was only an oil lamp on the table in the room to provide light.
"In that case, excuse me for disturbing you."
Fengjiu bowed and asked Leng Shuang to tie up Lao Bai and the horse outside, then she stepped into the room.
Although the room was simple, it was tidy. Perhaps because there was little sunlight coming in, the house was a little cold, especially at night.
"Brother, do you want some water?"
The little boy climbed onto the chair and looked at Fengjiu, pointing at the kettle on the table and saying, "There's water in here, and Yangyang can drink if he's thirsty."
Fengjiu's eyes were fixed on the woman, watching her walk back with gentle steps. Her posture was gentle and her steps were light. Her manners revealed her good upbringing. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary country woman.
But, how could there be such a family in a place like this
She retracted her gaze, calmed her mind and looked at the little boy in front of her, who was smart but had dark blue eyes. She sighed and asked, "Is your name Yangyang? How old are you this year?"
"Yes, my name is Yangyang, brother. Today is Yangyang's fourth birthday! Mother is cooking red eggs for Yangyang in the back."
The little boy lay on the table, smiling at the handsome Feng Jiu in red, and said crisply: "Brother is so handsome. Yangyang has never seen anyone more handsome than brother."
"Oh, so today is your birthday!"
She looked at the little boy with sparkling eyes and an excited face in surprise. After thinking for a while, she took out a grape-sized night-shining pearl and handed it to him, laughing softly: "Here, this is for you as a birthday present."
"Wow! This bead is so beautiful, it glows."
The little guy looked at the bead with surprise, reached out to take it, happily slipped off the chair and ran to the back, shouting excitedly: "Daddy, Mommy, Mommy, my brother gave me a glowing bead."
At this time, Leng Shuang came to Feng Jiu's side, took a look behind, and said in a low voice: "Master, I feel something is wrong here. Do you really want to stay here?"
There are only two families here. The door over there is closed and the lights are on, but there is no one in sight. In this family, only the child seems slightly normal. The woman looks strange. And the male owner of the family has not been seen since they entered the house. Logically, this shouldn't happen.
