Mu Li walked for a long time with Nalan Jinxiu on his back, so long that she felt too tired to do it, but his pace was still steady.

"Mu Li, are you tired, should we rest for a while?"

"Nothing. Mu Li knew that they had to take advantage of their physical strength to get out of this forest as soon as possible and find someone, so he couldn't stop.

"Why don't you put me down, and I'll go with you!" are all mortals in the flesh, and he still has injuries on his body, how can he not be tired after walking with her on his back for so long?

"I've traveled farther than that, and I'll be fine. ”

"But now you're hurt. ”

"It's a little injury that doesn't matter to me. "When he was on a mission, he was sometimes more seriously injured than this, but he also had to go back within the stipulated time.

The more he said this, the more Nalan Jinxiu felt distressed. She thought that Mu Li was such a loyal and kind character, but he had been suffering in the past, and she must be kind to him in the future.

Mu Li walked for a long time, but he still didn't get out of the forest, but he met a hunter.

This Orion's surname is Zhao, and he looks like he is in his thirties. Seeing that the two of them were embarrassed and had blood stains on their bodies, they couldn't figure out what they were doing for a while, so they didn't dare to tell them where they lived.

"Brother Zhao, we are not bad people, we are just separated from the caravan. In this wood, they encountered wild beasts again, and they fought a lot, so they were all wounded. Nalan Jinxiu casually told a fairly reliable lie.

This lie was told by her, and she actually deceived Zhao Orion for a while. Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help but feel weak for a while, the reason she came with casually was actually full of loopholes.

Like their wounds, and their clothes. If they had fought with wild beasts, they would have been in a worse state than they are now. Fortunately, this Zhao Orion looks like an honest man and doesn't think much about it.

He took Nalan Jinxiu and Mu Li to his house, with his wife and two children. Orion's wife was born with a slender figure, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, even if it was a coarse cloth shirt, she also had a bit of a posture.

They are supposed to live in the mountains all year round and rarely interact with people, so Orion's wife doesn't seem to be very good at talking, and she looks a little defensive when she sees the living.

"The two little brothers got lost and were wounded, so I brought them back. Zhao Orion explained to his wife.

Seeing that the woman was still unmoving, Nalan Jinxiu only looked at them with suspicious eyes, and seemed to be much more shrewd than Zhao Orion. If she sees the clues, it is not good, and they are likely to not take them in because they are afraid.

Nalan Jinxiu took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the chance encounter with Brother Zhao on the road, I'm afraid we would have been buried in the mouth of the beast." I asked my sister-in-law to accept this little money, and she took the trouble to find us two clean clothes. ”

No matter how defensive they are, it is the people who live in this deep mountain and old forest, who always exchange some prey for a small amount of money, and basically can support their living expenses.

Now that I have seen this not small piece of silver, my guard heart is naturally gone. Sister-in-law Zhao also accompanied the smiling face: "I'm going to find clothes for you, and by the way, boil some hot water, and you can clean it." ”

Mu Li is a person who doesn't know how to deal with people, he has a straight face and doesn't say anything. Nalan Jinxiu smiled and said, "Then it's bothering my sister-in-law." ”

When their family went out, Nalan Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered to Mu Li, "Anyway, there is a place to stay." I think this sister-in-law Zhao is very shrewd, if she asks you anything, you don't have to answer anything, just let her come to me. ”

Mu Li nodded.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that his current appearance was inexplicably a little simple. I thought to myself, it's good to follow him, otherwise I really don't know what he would do when he was out alone. It's cold, and it's too inflexible.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing any movement outside, Nalan Jinxiu gently leaned on the door and looked at the husband and wife in the courtyard through the crack in the door. They seem to be arguing, and it's not hard to guess the specific reason, presumably because of them.

I've already given her money, and I don't know why they're still arguing. Nalan Jinxiu really couldn't figure it out, the only thing she hoped for was that Zhao Orion and his wife didn't just kick them out because they were angry.

After such a long journey, and both of them were wounded, their bodies were extremely tired, if they couldn't repair it properly, it would really be enough for them.

She couldn't take care of it so much now, and started to treat Mu Li's wounds. Because he carried her all the way, the bleeding from the wound was not small. Fortunately, he has always been physically strong, and it is not a big deal.

As soon as Nalan Jinxiu bandaged the wound, Mu Li didn't have time to put on his shirt, and Sister-in-law Zhao pushed the door in. When she saw Mu Li naked, her face suddenly turned red, and she was in her mouth.

Mu Li has never had much patience with women, or rather, he has no patience with everyone. He hated Sister-in-law Zhao's reaction a little, so he put on his clothes with his hands, and then said to Nalan Jinxiu: "San Lang, I'll go out first." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she was also keenly aware of Zhao's sister-in-law's abnormality. Even the village woman knows the basic rules, why don't you knock on the door when you enter a stranger's room?

Even if she was too busy to knock on the door, why didn't she quickly withdraw when she saw the man in disheveled clothes, but instead secretly looked at it with a blushing face? If this hadn't happened to a mother of two children, she would have thought that this woman had a crush on Mu Li.

Thinking about it made her feel a chill. hurriedly comforted himself, maybe in this deep mountain and old forest, their husband and wife did not have the rules of the world.

If she follows the customs, she doesn't have to ask for anything, after all, now that she has a place to live, it is already a blessing in misfortune for her and Mu Li. She smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask, do you two little brothers want to live together?"

"What? Could it be that there is another house?"

Nalan Jinxiu had already looked at this courtyard when he entered it, and there were three rooms in total. One seems to be the couple's usual living room, and the other room is for the two children.

There is also the one she lives in now, which looks like it should usually put some sundries. And the bamboo couch must be used to cool off when it's hot. There are only three rooms in total, they don't live together, where else can they go?

"We also have a firewood house behind here, which is also very clean. If it's inconvenient for the two of you to live together, I can ask Brother Zhao to clean up that room. ”

She and Mu Li are both dressed as men now, and this room is not too small, so it shouldn't be a problem to live two people. Sister-in-law Zhao suddenly asked, obviously not wanting the two of them to be together. What was her idea?

"Don't bother, my brother and I run outside all year round, and we don't have so much to do. "Fortune and misfortune are not distinguished, Nalan Jinxiu thinks that she and Mu Li are the safest together.

"You two are brothers! Sister-in-law Zhao seemed a little suspicious.

Nalan Jinxiu still had a smile on his face: "My brother is more like his father, and I am more like my mother, but many people say that we are born with similar noses." Sister-in-law, if you take a good look, you really can't see a trace of resemblance?"

Nalan Jinxiu said it seriously, and even she herself had to believe that they were brothers. Sister-in-law Zhao looked at it carefully, but she still didn't think they were like it. If you can barely say where they look alike, it should be that both of them are quite handsome.

It's just that these two kinds of handsomeness are not the same. His brother is cold-eyed, but he is very manly, and he is too handsome for men, but he is not feminine. Anyway, the two of them are not the same good-looking.

"The hot water should have been boiled, I'll ask Brother Zhao to bring it in for you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly stopped: "How embarrassing is this, my brother has a lot of strength, let's let him come!"

"If you have come to our house, then make it your own home, and you don't have to see me outside. "Sister-in-law Zhao was talking, and the person had already gone out.

Nalan Jinxiu always felt in her heart that this Orion's wife seemed a little strange, but she couldn't say what was to blame. Maybe it's just too much enthusiasm. Maybe they live in this place and don't see a few people all year round, so seeing them once will be relatively rare.

But when they first came in, she was clearly not very fond of it, and seemed a little disgusted. Why did her attitude change so much in such a short time, could it be because of the piece of silver she gave?

At this time, she reflected on herself, whether she had given too much money just now. The little piece of silver she had just given was a tael. A tael of silver can't do much in Jinling City, but if it's in such a remote place, you can still buy a lot of things.

Is it because you have a fancy for their money?

If you really like money, it is easy to solve it, but everything in this world that can be solved with money is not a difficult thing.

She still has a lot of cash, and if she can't do it, she will leave half of it for them. Anyway, Pu Shaozi gave her so many silver tickets, and she just waited until they went out to find a money bank to get some.

After a while, Mu Li came in with a bucket, followed by Sister-in-law Zhao. She hugged the two clothes and handed them to Nalan Jinxiu with a smile: "These two clothes were made by me for your brother Zhao before, and he has never put them on, so I will use them for you now!"

Nalan Jinxiu felt at ease for a while, to be honest, she was really a little repulsed by letting her wear other men's clothes. But if there is no new one, it can only be a moment, and it is best to have a new one.

She reached out and took it, and found that it was really a brand new cloth with dense stitches, and it seemed that the workmanship was quite good. She stroked the clothes on her hands and praised: "Sister-in-law is a good craft." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao lowered her head and smiled, and said a little shyly: "Let the little brother see and laugh." ”
