The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 104 Visiting Liujia Village (3)

Time passed by little by little, and after about an hour, Changfeng had already boiled the medicine. He carefully held a bowl of steaming hot medicine and slowly walked in front of Mu Jiuchen. However, when Mu Jiuchen saw the bowl of black medicine, his face instantly became a little disgusted.

In the eyes of others, Mu Jiuchen seemed reluctant to drink the medicine. However, only Changfeng understood the reason. Despite this, he still patiently persuaded and coaxed: "Sir, this is what the master and the lady specifically told you to do. You must drink the medicine on time every day." After saying that, Changfeng suppressed his smile, because he finally saw his master showing a second expression. Mu Jiuchen, who usually has a cold face and does not smile, is afraid to drink medicine at this moment! And this is just an ordinary medicine to relieve internal heat.

"Yes, sir. I got you some candied fruit, please drink it quickly." Jiang Ying outside really took the candied fruit from the car.

Seeing this, Liu Cuihua thought to herself: It seems that this rich young man has been taking medicine since he was young, so he doesn't want to drink it now. So she also imitated the little maids on TV and persuaded him in a gentle voice: "Young Master, your servants have brought you candied fruit. You should drink this medicine while it's hot."

Mu Jiuchen was really in a dilemma at this moment! If he had let Jiang Ying pretend to be a rich young man, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed. In desperation, Mu Jiuchen had to bite the bullet and pick up the medicine bowl and drink the bitter medicine. This medicine for reducing internal heat was extremely bitter. After drinking it, Mu Jiuchen's mouth was full of bitterness. At this moment, Liu Cuihua took the candied fruit from Jiang Ying's hand and wanted to feed it to Mu Jiuchen. Seeing this, Mu Jiuchen coughed quickly and finally successfully avoided Liu Cuihua's feeding. Are you kidding? How could he accept the closeness of a woman other than Jiang Li?

After taking the medicine, Mu Jiuchen rested for another hour. During this hour, Mu Jiuchen learned the basic information of the family. Liu Cuihua and her father depended on each other, but the middle-aged man didn't like to talk much, and the vigilance in his eyes made Mu Jiuchen and others pay special attention. How could a countryman have such high vigilance? Moreover, the father and daughter walked briskly. Liu Cuihua had some thin calluses on her hands. Although farm girls would also have calluses on their hands after working, they were not like Liu Cuihua's calluses on the palm of her hand. Moreover, her skin was not as dark as that of farm girls, but fair and tender.

Afterwards, Mu Jiuchen and his companions left Liujia Village on the pretext that they had to hurry on their way. While they were walking in the village, the villagers were looking at their carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

Because they felt someone was following them, the carriage drove north for an hour and then northeast for half an hour. Now Changfeng took over the driving, and Jiang Ying and Mu Jiuchen sat in the carriage. Mu Jiuchen no longer looked sickly, and his large black cloak was thrown aside.

"Your Highness, it turns out you are afraid of taking medicine. Hahaha." This was an affirmation, not a question. Jiang Ying's words made Mu Jiuchen not even glance at him.

"It's your turn next time." Jiang Ying felt bitter in his mouth as soon as he heard these words.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." My goodness, if there is such a task next time, the medicine I have to drink will probably be even more bitter.

"Your Highness, where do you think they are from? It seems like they haven't been here for long. The firewood was chopped with different strengths. The firewood at the bottom was obviously chopped by someone who has no martial arts skills, while the new firewood at the top was chopped with greater strength, which shows that he was chopped by someone who knows martial arts." Jiang Ying frowned, thinking about his discovery in the yard just now, and said to Mu Jiuchen.

Mu Jiuchen nodded in agreement: "Well, it is indeed a bit strange."

Jiang Ying continued to analyze, "And Changfeng also said that there were moldy coarse grains in the kitchen cabinet. Ordinary people would not let even coarse grains get moldy. This can only mean that the family now only eats refined grains."

Mu Jiuchen fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment he said, "That family probably hasn't been here long, but I don't know where the original family went? Are they still alive? How many other families are in the same situation?"

Jiang Ying's heart was shaken, and he could not help but feel a chill. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Your Highness, are you saying that the people in that village have been replaced? Or maybe they have been silenced?"

Mu Jiuchen nodded solemnly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, this place is not far from the border. If someone wants to do something wrong in this border area, then these villagers can easily become victims."

Jiang Ying felt increasingly depressed. He could not help but take a deep breath and muttered to himself, "They are all villagers! How can they be so cruel..."

The two were silent for a while, and Mu Jiuchen said with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what, we must get to the bottom of this matter and not let these innocent people die in vain."

Jiang Ying clenched his fists to show his agreement: "Your Highness is right. This village is so strange and it is on the border, which makes us think more deeply. I just don't know who is behind it?"

"Master, are we going to the camp or to the courtyard in the city?" Changfeng's respectful voice came from outside the carriage. Mu Jiuchen has been stationed in the border town all year round. In fact, he has a mansion in the city, but he doesn't go there often.

Mu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, "Let's go to the city, remember to go through the main gate."

Changfeng was a little surprised when he heard this. Although the master didn't come to the mansion often, he always went through the back door and kept a low profile. Why did he go through the front door this time? Could it be... Changfeng looked around and decided to just listen to the master.

"Okay!" Chang Feng responded, but he secretly muttered in his heart: "This master is really hard to figure out!"

The carriage slowly drove towards the Border Town Mansion. Along the way, Changfeng was thinking about Mu Jiuchen's intentions. When they arrived at the door of the mansion, Changfeng jumped off the carriage and prepared to knock on the door.

However, before he could reach the door, it was opened from the inside. A man who looked like a butler came out with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

"The young master is back?" the butler asked in a low voice, his eyes sweeping over the carriage behind Changfeng.

Changfeng did not answer his question, but walked directly to the carriage. The housekeeper hurriedly followed, and Changfeng and Jiang Ying helped Mu Jiuchen, who was wearing a cloak and looked sick, into the mansion. The old housekeeper looked at his son with some surprise, but did not say much. Then the door of the mansion was closed, and there were a few more passers-by on the street.

There is no plaque on the gate of this house and no one knows who its owner is.
