Chapter 1468: How Far Away?

without being discovered by anyone. That palace maid who raised her must truly have that much ability And why hasn't Master Wang's people found any information about that palace maid after searching...Mo Jun Yi looked at the boy by the bed, then at the two people standing not far away. His hoarse voice asked with difficulty, "Did you save me"

The woman smiled and nodded, "Young master, we don't know why you ended up in our back mountain. There are some ferocious beasts that appear in this area, so we took the liberty of bringing you back. We hope the young master won't blame us."

Mo Junyi pursed his lips. He used his hands to push against the bed slightly, trying to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

The couple in the distance immediately guessed what he was about to do upon seeing his actions. They exchanged glances, and the woman tentatively walked two steps towards the bed.

Seeing that there was no resistance on Mo Jun Yi's face, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. She reached out to help Mo Jun Yi up, letting him sit up.

"Thank you."

Mo Jun Yi weakly said, "Aunt, where is this"

“This is Dongshan Village, we are rather remote here. How could young master be here”

After saying that, the woman was afraid that her words would be misunderstood, and that the person in front of her would think she was prying into his affairs. She quickly waved her hand and said:

"Young master, please don't misunderstand. If it's inconvenient to say, then don't. It's just... my mouth is a little loose sometimes, I was just curious for a moment."

Mo Junyi didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly. "Auntie, there's no need to worry. I am from the capital city. This time, I came out with my parents to travel and enjoy the mountains and waters. But on the way, we encountered bandits, and my parents and I were forced to separate."

Speaking of this, Mo Junyi's expression instantly dimmed. "Whether my parents were alive or dead, I know nothing. Now I only remember that under the relentless pursuit of bandits, I jumped into a river, thinking it was a dead end, but unexpectedly, I was saved by my aunt."

Upon hearing Mo Junyi's words, the woman, a sensitive soul, had tears welling up in her eyes. Perhaps driven by maternal love, she gently patted Mo Junyi's head and murmured, "You poor dear."

And the man behind the woman saw that Mo Junyi's lips were chapped and his voice was noticeably hoarse. He quickly reacted, rushed to the side and poured a bowl of water.

He walked to the bedside and handed his wife a bowl of water, "Let the little master have some water first to moisten his throat."

The woman also reacted, nodding repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”

She brought the bowl closer and was about to put it to Mo Junyi's mouth, but Mo Junyi stopped her with his hand.

Mo Junyi still had some strength left at this moment, and besides, he wasn't used to being taken care of like this, so he said, "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie. I can do it myself."

After saying that, he took the bowl and drank it all in one go.

Looking at Mo Jun Yi, even drinking water was done with such elegance. The couple exchanged glances, each sighing inwardly in admiration.

It seems their guess is right. The young man before them must be the son of an extremely wealthy family, truly well-mannered.

And the day they found the young master, the clothes he was wearing were made of material that their family could never afford in a lifetime.

And to be honest, they had lived for so many years and never touched such soft fabric before.

And the little boy who had been sitting quietly at the foot of the bed all this time now had his hands cupping his chin, his round eyes still fixed intently on Mo Junyi.

After Mo Junyi finished drinking the water, he reached out and snatched the bowl. "Brother, let me pour you some more water. Can you talk to me"

“......”

Mo Junyi was stunned for a moment, while the couple couldn't help but smile helplessly. "Niuniu, stop talking nonsense and come down. Don't disturb your brother's rest."

"I won't, my brother already told you guys, but he didn't say a word to me. I'm not happy."

“……”

Mo Junyi instantly understood. So this little kid felt ignored.

A slight smile played on his lips as he glanced at the bowl in the child's hand. "Is Niu Niu really good at spilling water"

As soon as Mo Junyi spoke, the little boy's eyes widened in surprise. He looked excitedly at his parents, "Mom and Dad, my brother knows who I am, he knows I'm Niu Niu."

"... "

The couple couldn't bear to look at their silly son. How could the young master possibly know who he was He only remembered because his mother called him by his nickname when she scolded him just now.

But both of them were unwilling to pour cold water on their foolish son at this moment, letting him continue to be happy.

"Niuniu couldn't figure out what his parents' expressions meant. He turned to Mo Junyi now, nodding very hard, "Brother, Niuniu can really pour water. You... you wait."

After that, he jumped off the bed and ran excitedly to the table. He filled an empty bowl with water and carefully carried it back to the bedside. "Brother, here you go."

Mo Junyi smirked, reaching out to take it. "Thank you," he said.

Under Niu Niu's expectant gaze, he slowly drank the water in one gulp.

Niu Niu saw that he had finished drinking and snatched the bowl back, preparing to pour him another bowl.

Fortunately, Mo Junyi caught him in time and smiled, "Thank you, Niu Niu, but brother doesn't want to drink anymore."

"Oh."

Niu Niu, hearing Mo Jun Yi had stopped drinking, unceremoniously turned and shoved the empty bowl into his mother's hands.

The couple couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

"Auntie, how far is it to Beijang City from here"

Matters outside the mountains are generally unknown to women, so when Mo Junyi asked about it now, she subconsciously looked at the man beside her.

Men would go down the mountain every few days to sell some game, so they did know something about it. When his wife looked over, he said:

"Bei Jiang City isn't that far, if you travel by carriage it would only take three days to reach the city."

"!!"

Mo Junyi's face paled, he rushed for three days... That means if he rode a horse, it would only take one day.

After going round and round, he ended up right back where he started.

Looking at the person in bed, their complexion changed instantly. The couple frowned, unsure of what was wrong.

The man hesitated for a moment before softly asking, "Young master, what are you worried about Bei Jiang City is the fiefdom of King Bei Jiang. Under King Bei Jiang's rule over the years, it has become extremely safe. Especially bandits, they are rarely seen these days. So young master, don't worry."

Mò Jūn Yì came back to his senses. He calmed his heart, remembering what the couple had just said: this was a remote mountain village, where it would be difficult even to leave, let alone explain their whereabouts. No matter how many people his father sent to look for him, they probably wouldn't be able to find him here.

Besides, they couldn't possibly know he had returned. Even if they were looking for him, they should have searched along the road back to Beijing, not in remote mountain villages around Beijiang City.

Thinking this way, Mo Junyi was about to ask something else when suddenly someone rushed in.

Mò Jūn Yì tightened his hands, ready to use the effort he had just barely recovered, but when he saw that the person who rushed in was just a boy about his age, he immediately retracted his energy.. At this moment, her pupils became even more crimson, looking even more eerie. Suddenly, she let out a few giggles.Ninger realized something was wrong and quickly reached out to push Yun Si back. She...
