The earth is covered in silver, and it is white.

After the operation, Zhou Ming, who had been lying in bed for a week to recuperate, finally recovered a lot, the wound was scabbed, and this morning, he even got out of bed and walked two steps.

Lying on the bed, looking at her sister Alice, who is cleaning in the room, feeding cows, sheep and chickens in the backyard, or boiling water and cooking in the kitchen, Zhou Ming is a little hesitant in his heart, should he tell her?

"Brother, drink some mutton soup, I killed the last lamb in the family in the morning, and the mutton soup will be gone in a few days. ”

Alice came in with a pottery bowl, with some tears on her face, she was kind by nature, during the time when her brother was recuperating from his injuries, she had killed several lambs that she usually regarded as treasures, and there were a few cute sheep, and she even gave them a nice name.

But for the sake of her brother's body, she had to do it herself, and she would be sad for a long time after each time.

took the pottery bowl, drank two sips of hot mutton soup, and looked at Alice, who was a little thin and haggard, her appearance was still so beautiful, but she no longer had the innocence and cheerfulness she had before.

One blow after another made her lose the sweet smile she once had.

"Alice, my brother asked you, what kind of person do you want to marry when you grow up?" Putting down the pottery bowl, Zhou Ming asked Alice, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Marry?"

Alice held her cheek and thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, I want to stay by my brother's side all the time!"

"Silly girl, how can you live with your brother for the rest of your life, you still have to get married after all, tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Patting Alice's head, Zhou Ming asked a little funny.

Alice lowered her head and thought about it, looked up at Zhou Ming, and suddenly said: "I want to marry someone like my brother! someone who will love me, care about me, and protect me!"

"Fool, there are two exactly the same people in this world? Even if you find an elder brother like this, what is the use of him being just a farmer? He can die on the battlefield at any time, he can die of famine at any time, he can encounter all kinds of dangers at any time...... Are you still willing to follow such a man?"

"I do, as long as he cares about me and loves me like you, brother!" Alice nodded, her gaze determined.

"Little fool ......"

Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled helplessly, but still asked the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Alice, if you are given two choices, one is to marry a farmer and live an ordinary life, and the other is to marry a baron and become a noble baroness and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life...... If these two choices were in front of you, which one would you choose?"

"Brother, how can you choose like this? Who to marry, it doesn't depend on whether that person is good to me, if he treats me badly, even if he marries the king, what happiness can there be?"

The innocence in Alice's heart remained, and she made an answer that made Zhou Ming smile bitterly.

This sister is really spoiled by herself, in this world of such a cruel reality, she hasn't even wiped out the innocence in her heart?

"Alice, if you marry a farmer, this farmer will also be very good to you, but with your appearance, maybe it won't be long before someone like Baum will try his best to kill him, and you may become the nobleman's mistress~ or the nobleman's personal maid, and when you are old and decrepit, they will not hesitate to kick you away, or fall into the dust...... When you get old, you will be lonely, and you may be like Old Granny Theresa in town, begging for alms......"

Zhou Ming, who is determined to teach Alice a lesson, paints a desperate and tragic scene for her.

"Don't say it, don't say it! Brother, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, these situations won't happen, you lie to me, you are lying to me!"

Alice cried in fright, and covered Zhou Ming's mouth hard, not wanting to listen to him anymore.

"Dear Alice, do you think my brother is willing to tell you this? Look at my brother's injuries, my brother doesn't have the ability to protect you anymore, without my brother's protection, the second Baum, the third Baum, will come to our house soon, do you think we can stop it?" Zhou Ming said helplessly.

"If I don't get married, I won't marry for the rest of my life! I will always follow my brother and run to a place where there are no bad people!"

Throwing herself into Zhou Ming's arms, Alice cried loudly.

Looking at this stubborn girl, Zhou Ming only felt a pain in his head, and regretted it in his heart, he knew this, he should have taken her to suffer more when he was young.

"Alice, don't cry! Listen to your brother, believe your brother! In this world, only your brother will not lie to you, only your brother will be good to you, and only your brother will really think about you! As for who you want to marry in the future, let your brother arrange it for you, and your brother will definitely find you a husband who is good for you and has the ability to protect you...... Do you believe my brother?"

Zhou Ming stared into Alice's eyes and asked.

"Hmm!"

Alice nodded heavily.

……

The next morning.

Donnie, who was carrying a bag of pastries in his hand, saw Zhou Ming walking slowly in the room.

"It's amazing that you've been so badly injured that you've been on your feet in a month, and the people in the castle think you're dead. ”

Donnie excitedly stepped forward and hugged him.

"Let them continue to think so, Donnie, you didn't tell me about my awakening, did you, including Madame Madeleine. Zhou Ming asked with a serious face.

After he was injured at the castle training ground before, even the well-known traveling doctor who lived in the castle shook his head and said that it was impossible for him to survive, so he waved his hand and gave up the treatment for him.

It was only after Donnie and Alice, who did not give up, that got better after they let him be carried home.

Miracles, can only be said to be miracles.

"No, I didn't tell anyone, including my mother. ”

Donnie knew the meaning of Zhou Ming's words, and Zhou Ming also told him that if he "died", nothing would happen, and if he "lived", then there would be big trouble.

"Donnie, go close the doors and windows over there, I have something to tell you. Zhou Ming suddenly said with a mysterious expression.

"What's the matter, so mysterious?"

Donnie complained, but closed the doors and windows anyway, and the room, which was already a little dark, suddenly became dark.

"Donnie, I have an idea......"

Zhou Ming put his hand to Donnie's ear and whispered into his ear, and after a while, Donnie's eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing became rapid, and when he heard the back, even his eyes turned red, tremblingly grabbing Zhou Ming's sleeves, and the green tendons on his body also burst.

And the gaze he looked at Zhou Ming was like looking at a devil.

"Ryan, are you sure you want to do this? Edward is my own brother, I... I'm ......," Donnie said in a trembling voice.

"I don't need you to do it, what are you afraid of? Think about it, as long as you nod your head, everything in the Gran Collar will belong to you, and you still need to travel thousands of miles to the royal capital to accept all your unknown fate? Think about Edward, how have you treated your own brother all these years? I'm afraid I would like to drive you away immediately? Think about Fat Baum, a pig-like thing, the position in Edward's heart is more important than yours, what is there to hesitate......

Zhou Ming's dream-like whispers kept echoing in Donnie's ears.

"Enough is enough! Don't say it, don't say it again! I promise, I promise!"

Donnie gasped for air, clenched his fists tightly, teeth in his mouth, and clucked as he gritted.

Edward, since you have been unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you!

"Donnie, I support you very much, but there is also a small condition, if you don't agree to this condition, you just said those words, you didn't say it, it's better to rot all in your stomach. ”

Seeing Donnie nod, Zhou Ming made another request at the right time.

"What's the request? Say it!" Donnie was anxious, and in the end, how could Ryan still play this one.

"Marry Alice, remember, it is to marry her, not a mistress without a name~ . ”

"Marry Alice?"

Donnie was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, okay, I like Alice the most, I am willing to marry her, I am willing!"

"It's to marry Alice, don't make a mistake!" Zhou Ming glared at him and emphasized.

"Yes, yes, marry Alice, I am willing to marry her!"

Zhou Ming looked at him as if he couldn't ask for it, and knew that his plan was basically perfect, even if there would be some variables in the future, but for now, there would be no more mistakes.

After carefully admonishing the precautions, Zhou Ming sent Donnie, who was so excited that he almost fell on the threshold, out of the door.

Standing at the door, looking at the beautiful snow scene in the courtyard, Zhou Ming was stunned for a while.

"Brother, why did you come out, it's cold outside, go back to the house and rest. Alice, who was clearing the snow, saw him and stepped forward to care about him.

"Alice, what do you think of Master Donnie, do you like him?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked jokingly.

"Brother~!, why did you suddenly ask about this, I don't like Master Downey......" As she spoke, Alice, whose voice had been lowered, suddenly blushed and twisted.

"Hahahaha~"

Zhou Ming laughed heartily, there was a play, a bit of a play.
