The courtyard became as quiet as the night. Song's Mother's appearance had broken the silence.
She had been cooking in the kitchen and didn't hear any noise coming from the yard. She was about to call Song Yao to eat when she saw three people appear out of nowhere. She was shocked, but also afraid that Song Yao might be hurt.
Thus, she asked, "Is there anything that the three officials need?"
Although Song's Mother had spent most of her life in the village, she could tell from the clothes that these three people were not ordinary people. She was afraid that Song Yao would offend someone of nobility.
Song Yao turned her head to look at her mother and casually threw the kernels in her hands away. She looked at Song's Mother and said, "Mother, who are they looking for?"
Song's Mother probably doesn't know any of the people in this village, Song Yao thought.
"Oh, they're looking for someone." Song's Mother mumbled to herself. After thinking for a while, she felt that according to the three of them, there wouldn't be anyone in the village that they were looking for.
After thinking for a moment, Song's Mother still said, "The three of you are in the wrong place. I don't know anyone in this village who would know someone as valuable as you three."
Even Song Yao was a little taken aback by her words.
Song Yao could tell that it was because of their appearances, and already deduced that the man was wearing a top-quality jade on his waist. She wasn't sure yet, but she didn't expect that she, the village woman, would also be able to see through it.
The two red-clothed people looked at each other, then looked at the face of the person in the middle. That person remained silent for a long time without saying anything.
The atmosphere became awkward and Song Yao broke the silence. "Sigh! I say, as the head of the gang, you ask others and yet, you don't even say a word, how are you going to find me? "
She walked to the person sitting in the middle and thought for a moment before asking, "If you don't want to talk about who you're looking for, you should at least talk about your name. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to talk to you."
Still silence.
"Hey!" Song Yao was about to run out of patience. She was still waiting for breakfast. "If we don't talk soon, I'm going to kick them out. We still have to eat."
"My surname is Chu." The man in the middle suddenly spoke up.
Song Yao could feel the anger of the two men beside him, but she did not dare to let it go. One of their anger was written on her face, while the other was on the sword in her hand.
After finally getting a response, Song Yao said, "A Chu …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already said "dare". Song Yao resented her height. She was clearly standing, yet that man could look down on her effortlessly. This made her very angry.
"What are you shouting for? Do you have a request for me now? How did A Chu become so bold? How nice was that to listen to? Is it A Chu? "
Song Yao turned to look at the man, waiting for his response.
His body was still wet. His hair had been wet and darkened. His skin had become even whiter. He was indeed a person who lived like a prince.
He frowned as if he was thinking about something. Perhaps he was thinking, "Isn't A Chu nice to listen to?"
Thinking about this, Song Yao continued, "A Chu, since you've told me your name, you should at least tell me who you're looking for. I'm hungry. "By the way, I don't think you've found the wrong place. Of the two people beside you, although one of them is simple-minded, the other one is extremely intelligent."
The person standing on the right side of the hall had never looked at Song Yao from the beginning to the end. As soon as Song Yao said that, he shifted his gaze to Song Yao.
Seeing how cautious the three of them were, the person they were looking for must be a very important person. They probably didn't expect that Song Yao's family would be hired by a random farmer. Although they were mother and daughter, each of them didn't look like this village farmer.
So, they were hesitating. They were hesitating whether they should reveal the identity of the person they were looking for, because once they were able to discover their identities, it was very clear that the person they were looking for would also be in danger.
If anyone knew about this, then the journey would be a waste.
Seeing that the three of them were still silent, Song Yao sighed and shook her head. She simply ignored them and called for her little brother. The three of them then started to eat breakfast in the yard.
He had originally wanted the three of them to leave by themselves when he saw that they were ignoring him, but he hadn't expected that no one would move after such a long time.
Song's Mother was a kind-hearted person, so there was nothing extra for her to eat. She could only pour three cups of tea for the three of them, but none of them had any intention of drinking it.
While they were eating, a loud noise suddenly came from the middle of the village. Song Gui was still young after all, so he curiously sold his short legs and ran to join in the fun.
After a while, he came running back, "Sis A, Wu Tie and Aunt Zhang have started a fight. Everyone has come out to watch the show."
Probably because he was bullied by the two clans previously, the little fellow was overjoyed upon seeing the two clans fighting with one another.
Song Yao frowned and knocked on his little head. "What are you so happy about if they are fighting?" This is not a good thing. " Song Gui felt wronged, "But they bullied Mother!"
Song Yao turned her tears into a smile. "Then you should also laugh secretly. With so many people here, if someone else sees your laughter like this, it will become your weakness in the future."
Song Gui didn't really understand.
The red clothed man on the left snorted and said, "He's so young, do you understand? "You're ridiculous."
Song Yao shook her head. "Don't underestimate a child. As long as they hear it, they will understand it one day. I'm afraid you won't understand and won't tell him."
That person was stunned and did not say anything for a long time.
However, Song Gui suddenly asked: "Then if I encounter such things in the future, I won't be able to laugh, right? However, they said that they were going to seek the Village Chief for judgement. As they are all bullies, how is the Village Chief going to judge them? "
Song Yao patted his head. "Village head, of course he has his reasons."
However, she turned to Song's Mother and asked, "Mother, is the Village Head a good person? I haven't seen him in a long time, and the village doesn't seem to be in harmony either.
"Of course, the Village Head is a good person!" Suddenly, Song's Mother's tone became stern and forceful. Song Yao jumped in fright. She hurriedly said, "Don't be agitated. I was just asking. However, the Village Head lives in seclusion. No matter what happens, he is a good person."
Song's Mother didn't say anything. When Song Yao turned around, she found that the three people in the yard had suddenly disappeared.
Song Yao and Song Gui returned to the table to eat. As they listened to the constant noises in the middle of the village, their voices rose and fell, sometimes far away, sometimes close, only after a while did they calm down again.
As Song Yao drank the wild vegetable soup in her bowl, she couldn't help but wonder who this Village Head was. Why were these people looking for her? Why did Song's Mother have such an attitude towards the Village Head?
As he thought of this, he felt that his head was big. Just as he was about to clean up the dishes, he suddenly saw a group of people from the village crowd towards his house.
