At the end of the overnight rush, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the east turned white, and the morning light sprinkled on tens of thousands of peach trees in the peach blossom sea in Pinggu, and the sky and the earth were snow-white.

The soldiers from the outside world are like a tide, the rivers, lakes, and markets are silent under the formation of grass and trees, and the canyons hidden in the deep mountains and old forests seem to be isolated from the world, and there is no movement at all.

The earthen stove next to it went out at some point, and the temperature was slowly dropping.

Xu Buling was in a daze, and heard the soft sound of the opposite house, and the sound of light footsteps came from the house, stopping at the door, as if to spy through the crack in the door.

Xu Buling was too tired last night, because there was no danger, and he did not wake up. But a moment later, the door opened, and a figure stepped out.

Xu Buling held the handle of the knife with his left hand, squinted his eyes and swept it, but saw that out of the small room was a woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, not a toddler old woman, and she didn't look very old. Willow eyebrows, Ruifeng eyes, thin lips as small as cherries, cheeks look a little weak willow Fufeng's softness, long black hair is simply coiled on the head, the upper body is a dark blue top, and the bottom is a pleated skirt with white flowers on a blue background, the fabric is relatively old, and there are some traces of wear and tear left by daily labor. Although there is no makeup embellishment without powder, the whole person looks soft and beautiful, and the clothes are clean and tidy, well...... Very handsome village girl!

It seems that the phoenix in the deep mountains is not a lie, Xu Buling saw from the footsteps that the other party did not know martial arts, so he did not guard again, lying down and pretending to sleep, wanting to wait for this little village girl to run away before leaving, so as not to scare people, after all, he is only wearing pants now, and he looks like a wild man in a turf.

The little village girl was not tall, she hid a pair of scissors behind her with a pair of scissors in her hand, walked into the yard, carefully looked at the probe, and saw that the person who broke in last night was still there, and her face turned pale with fright, and she walked back lightly.

After walking a few steps, I found the black dog lying in the kennel and did not know whether it was alive or dead, the little village girl's eyes showed a little anger, she turned over and lifted her skirt, slowly walked to the kitchen door, picked up the little black dog, and then walked back, for fear of waking up the robber lying in the pyre.

Xu Buling didn't open his eyes, but he heard his movements clearly, held his breath and condensed his breath without moving, and slowly waited for others to leave.

It's just that the little village girl retreated to the center of the courtyard dam, and saw that the man lying in the pyre didn't even seem to be breathing, so she paused for a while. After a few careful glances, he probably felt dead, so he walked back, took a wooden stick from under the eaves to support the window, carefully entered the kitchen, squatted in front of the earthen stove, and gently poked Xu Buling's leg with the wooden stick.

Xu Buling closed his eyes, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and woke up directly, it is estimated that he will scare this lonely little village girl to death, don't wake up......

The little village girl squatted and moved a little closer, and poked a few more times with a small wooden stick:

"Hello?"

The voice is light and delicate, and the throat is as graceful as a lark, but for some reason, it sounds a little childish.

Could it be that he is mentally retarded?

Doesn't look like it......

Xu Buling felt embarrassed, he didn't want to scare people, so he left the silver and left. But this little village girl was very simple, and when she poked him for a moment and saw that he didn't react, she was so frightened that she threw the wooden stick on the ground, stood up and curled her hands on her chest, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.

Xu Buling hesitated, and in order to reduce his threat, he prepared to take a weak breath and make the appearance of being seriously injured, so as not to panic the other party.

Before he could make a weak gesture, the little village girl thought of a solution, turned around and walked to the yard, took a hoe from the corner of the house, ran to the snow outside the fence, and began to dig a pit.

It looks like he wants to bury the dead directly.

？？

Xu Buling's eyes were full of astonishment, and he said secretly: Don't even probe your nose to make sure that he is buried if he is not dead, this is too simple!

It is obviously a bit inappropriate to wait for a helpless girl to dig a pit and get up again.

Xu Buling thought about it, and had to say: "Ahem-" coughed weakly twice, indicating that he was not dead.

The sound of coughing came out, and the sound of throwing away the hoe came back, and the figure of the little village girl soon appeared, and ran into the house in a panic, but when she passed by the kitchen, she found that Xu Buling had been weak and stood up, and she must have found her, so she turned around and ran out again.

It doesn't seem to be mentally retarded......

Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly raised his hand, and said in a weak voice: "Girl...... I'm not a bad person...... I know you hid in the cellar last night...... I'm sorry......"

This comfort is obviously very useful, after hearing this, the little village girl paused, turned her head and glanced weakly, and only after making sure that Xu Buling couldn't run, did she turn around:

"Who are you? Who told you to come here? Get out. ”

The tone is very fierce, but the face and figure like a weak willow supporting the wind make it difficult for people to feel half a threat and momentum.

Xu Buling nodded, got up with difficulty with a knife, put on a white robe, took out a silver ticket and put it on the stove, with a little apology:

"I'm really bothering the girl, I rested here last night, and I made some food by the way. This silver is considered to compensate the girl, and I hope to accept it. ”

With that, he walked out of the kitchen and out of the fence.

The little village girl looked vigilant, put the scissors behind her waist, and only after Xu Buling left the door did she move her steps, and quickly ran to the kitchen, looked left and right a few times, her eyes showed a little anxiety, and she ran out again with a silver ticket:

"You wait!"

Xu Buling's footsteps paused, turned around, and smiled:

"You're welcome, girl, this bit of silver is nothing to me......"

Before she finished speaking, the little village girl showed a little annoyance and interjected:

"You've finished eating the rice, what should I eat? What use do I have to ask for money? ”

？

Xu Buling was stunned for a moment, looked at it suspiciously, and reacted after a while.

Yes, look at this place, this little village girl probably rarely goes out, and she can't spend any money. Yesterday's grain stock is obviously not much, the food of the poor people is basically good, it is difficult to survive until next year's autumn harvest if it is wasted, the little grain in the rice tank, he still thought it was a few months of reserves, according to his amount of food, last night it was estimated that he ate the rations of the girl for ten days, and the only meat was eaten clean for others......

"Uh......"

Xu Buling's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked at the black dog next to him.

The little village girl hurriedly moved her steps and blocked the black dog: "It's for me to catch fish, and I have to eat, if I don't have food, I have to starve to death, why do you eat my food?" ”

“……”

Xu Buling's expression was slightly embarrassed, judging from the distance he escaped last night, there were probably no people within a radius of dozens of miles. You can't hunt when the snow covers the mountains, so what can you do?

The four eyes met, and there was a slight stalemate.

Xu Buling finally took the loss, and thought about it: "Why don't you ...... Why don't I go out and buy food and bring it to the girl? ”

The village girl's eyebrows furrowed slightly, hesitated, and shook her head:

"No, the road is so far, you will definitely not come back when you go out, you are lying to me."

Xu Buling was a little helpless, and spread his hands: "I promise to do what I say, I will never lie to you, I will definitely come back when I go out." Why don't I leave my sword here? ”

The little village girl obviously didn't believe the stranger, but still shook her head: "I can't follow you, you ran away, what's the use of me asking for a sword, there is an axe for cutting trees." ”

“……”

Xu Buling estimated that this little village girl had been away from group life for too long, and the logic of her speech seemed to be different from that of people, he thought about it and said with a smile:

"If I don't go out, I won't be able to buy food, and staying here is just two people eating your food, so it won't be consumed faster?"

The little village girl stood in front of the kitchen and thought for a while, raised her slender fingers, and pointed to the riverside in the distance:

"You catch fish for me, it will be enough for ten days, and there will be thirteen firewoods, and you can't find oil, salt and wine, so replace it with ten fish, and you have to sharpen a pair of chopsticks for me, I don't want what you have used."

？

Xu Buling blinked, he didn't expect the little village girl to be so clear, the firewood bowls and chopsticks were easy to say, but where did he go to catch fish in the winter?

The little village girl saw Xu Buling's embarrassed appearance, pursed her lips, as if she remembered the current situation, and was afraid that Xu Buling would be annoyed and angry, so she said again:

"If you don't want to, forget it, I don't care about you, you are not allowed to come over again after you go out, and you are not allowed to let outsiders come."

The gentleman is cautious and independent, and he is not allowed to eat other people's things, and no one may know about the debt, but his virtue is obviously heavier than a meal.

Xu Buling thought about it, with Lu Baiming in Chuchu, they would not have an accident, and Jiu Jiu was an expert in hiding his whereabouts, and he couldn't even find him when he hid, and he was not very urgent, so he nodded lightly:

"I'll go to the river and see, twenty fish, it should be enough, right?"

"You want big fish, and you can't catch fry."

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Xu Buling nodded, stepped out of the fence, and turned back and said, "Is there a fishing rod?" ”

"There's no bait, you dig up the earthworms yourself."

Xu Buling sighed and walked out of the neat sapling forest with his sword.

The little village girl stood in the courtyard, and when she saw Xu Buling walking farther and farther, she shouted again:

"You have to come back, and you must not deceive anyone."

Xu Buling's expression was helpless, he stuck the drunken bamboo knife on the ground with the scabbard, took off the Taiping Nothing Incident card from his waist and hung it on it, and walked away slowly with the sword and knee-high snow......
