435: Meat on a cutting board

Mu Li said: "I asked people to ask for it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought of his usual cold face, living like a wooden stake. He ignores anyone, but he has to open his mouth to others for a little sugar. An indescribable emotion rose in my heart.

In fact, to judge whether a person is good to another person, it is not to look at what he can bring to you, but to see what he has done for you. Although this was just an ordinary bowl of millet porridge, she knew that this was the best condition that Mu Li had won for her at present.

She felt that her luck was not so bad at this time, at least now she felt quite happy. From the previous life to this life, her heart has always been very guarded, and there are not many people who can be recognized by her. But a long time ago, she had already thought that Mu Li was someone she could trust with all her heart.

"Mu Li, thank you. ”

Mu Li didn't expect her to say thank you so solemnly, and she seemed at a loss for a while.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at his stupid appearance and couldn't help laughing. She has always understood that Mu Li is cold to people, not because he is like this, but because he is a person who is not good at expressing himself. So on the surface, he looks extraordinarily dignified and indifferent, but in fact, his heart is very soft and kind.

Mu Li saw that she didn't eat porridge, so he looked at himself with a smile in his eyes, and felt very embarrassed for a while, so he pointed to the porridge bowl: "You better eat it quickly! ”

Nalan Jinxiu knew that he was embarrassed, and she didn't break it, she just lowered her head and began to eat the bowl of porridge seriously. Orion's bowl was bigger than the bowl she usually used, at least she felt that this bowl of porridge should be able to catch up with the small bowl and two bowls she usually used.

Because I knew that this millet porridge was not easy to come by, I didn't want to leave it, but when I finished eating, I felt very supportive. She gently touched her stomach with one hand, and said helplessly: "You can accompany me for a walk to eliminate food, I can hold on." ”

Mu Li put away the empty bowl and gave her a strange look. He didn't understand, he couldn't eat it, so just say no, why do you have to support yourself?

Nalan Jinxiu knew what he was thinking from the strange look in his eyes. She thought about what was going on in her heart, and she better not tell him. So he said very uncritically: "I'm afraid that if I eat this millet porridge this time, I won't have it for the next meal, so I want to eat enough at one time." ”

"No, I have already told his family, you will have millet porridge to eat every day in the future. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face was full of surprise: "What did you tell people?"

She felt that in a family like theirs, millet should be a more precious thing, otherwise it wouldn't have been there when she was cooking before. It's good to be able to cook a bowl for it, and I want to eat it every day, how is this possible?

"I promised to give them ten taels of silver when I left. ”

"Ten taels?" Nalan Jinxiu carried all the silver on his body, and it was estimated that it was more than ten taels. If it's all given to the Orion family, then what will they do if they can't get to the county seat for a while?

Mu Li actually didn't have any concept of money, or he didn't spend money at all. Even after coming out of northern Xinjiang, he rarely stayed in guest houses, basically slept wherever he went, and made some food from local materials when he was hungry.

Looking at her expression now, I know that the ten taels of silver I promised may be more. He knew that the lord of his family had always been very cautious in his treatment of money, and he did not spend it indiscriminately at all.

And when I saw any extravagant scenes, I always said bitterly: "If this is replaced with medicinal materials, I don't know how many people can be saved." ”

Therefore, Mu Li lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Actually, it's okay, we have caused a lot of trouble to others, ten taels will be ten taels!"

Mu Li walked with her to eat, and the two were silent for a long time before he said, "I can give it to you, and I also have money." ”

Nalan Jinxiu was amused by his words, and she shook her head: "When we arrive in Northern Xinjiang and settle down completely, we can open a medical center, and then we won't have to worry about money." ”

"Then you ......" Mu Li stopped talking.

"What?"

"Just ......" What he wanted to say was that since you know that you don't have to worry about money, why did you look so distressed just now.

"I'm thinking that I don't have much cash on my body, and we don't know how long it will take to get to the county seat. I'm afraid that if we give them all the money, we will ask others for things later, and we won't have any money in our hands. ”

Mu Li took out his purse and put it in her hand: "I also have a little, I'll take care of it for you." ”

What he thinks is actually very simple, that is, he has no concept of spending money, and he doesn't know when and how much to spend. Since the county lord knows this well, it is better to hand it over to her for unified safekeeping, anyway, the two of them are going to go together.

Who knew that when Nalan Jinxiu took his purse, he couldn't stand up with a straight smile. Mu Li didn't understand what he had done to make her laugh like this.

"If you leave the money to a woman, you can't just say it to anyone else in the future. ”

"Why?"

Nalan Jinxiu felt that if he didn't say it to him, he would probably never realize it: "This kind of thing can generally only be said between husband and wife." ”

Mu Li stayed in place, looking a little stupid.

Nalan Jinxiu laughed even harder, and accidentally involved the wound in her abdomen, she covered her abdomen with her hands in pain, and gasped.

Mu Li was anxious when he saw her, and went to her side and asked her in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong, does it hurt badly?"

"It's okay, it's just accidentally pulled, it seems that you have to be careful when you laugh in the future. ”

Mu Li was afraid that her wound was painful but didn't say it, so he held on and proposed: "The time for us to come out is not short, why don't we go back!"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded and followed him back, but when he walked outside the courtyard, he heard a quarrel going on inside. She clearly heard Orion shouting in a rough and deep voice, "I think you have forgotten how you moved out of the village back then!"

Orion's voice was a little shrill and shrill, sounding very mean: "If I hadn't married you, a poor ghost, how could those things have happened?"

"You don't say anything about your own greed for riches, but you complain against me?"

"Shouldn't I blame you? If it weren't for you, I'd ......."

Before Orion could finish her words, she heard the sound of something shattering. Then Orion gritted his teeth and said: "Those two people don't seem to be ordinary people, they are in trouble now, and they have settled here for a while, and they have promised you money, so don't worry about those who are gone!"

Orion's lady was also a-for-tat, and said very angrily: "What am I worried about?"

"You know what you're thinking!"

"You made it clear to me. ”

"People don't have an ordinary background at first glance, and they won't take a fancy to you, so don't be delusional. ”

Then there was the sound of something shattering, mixed with the vicious words of the Orion Lady: "I don't know what kind of bad luck fell into your hands." Otherwise, with my appearance, how could I follow the beast and these two children every day in this deep mountain and old forest. I don't have any fun in life, what's the point, it's better to be dead. ”

The quarrel in the house continued, and Nalan Jinxiu and Mu Li finally knew why they both thought Orion Lady was strange. It turned out that the two of them had been treated as meat on the chopping board.

Judging from the performance of Orion Lady, she should be more interested in Nalan Jinxiu. After all, Mu Li's indifferent appearance is endless, and ordinary women dare not approach even if they like it.

And Nalan Jinxiu is different, not only is she handsome, but she is also very easy-going, and she speaks pleasantly, such a character should be liked by both men and women.

"Don't worry, I'm here, and she won't dare to do anything to you?" Mu Li comforted.

Nalan Jinxiu felt a little funny: "I'm the same woman as her, what else can she do to me?"

Mu Li was stopped by her, and the two could only turn around and continue walking. I thought that when the couple had enough of arguing, they would come back after cleaning up!

Otherwise, if they rush in now, there will be a mess in front of them, and they will not be able to stand idly by. It will definitely be very troublesome to mix it into other people's family affairs.

If you don't do it, you really have to be swept away. After all, if Orion hadn't brought the two of them back, they wouldn't have the quarrel they have today.

It's not that there are no other people in the vicinity, and Nalan Jinxiu really doesn't want to stay here. It seems that Orion Lady has made this kind of mistake before, and she is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid of trouble.

"We won't stay here for a few days, and when your wounds are healed, we'll go. Mu Li saw her embarrassment and comforted.

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head: "I'm not seriously injured, why don't you go back in a while and ask Brother Zhao, and when you see where you can get a car, let's leave." ”

She didn't know if she was too suspicious or something, and she was always a little uneasy. She felt that if they stayed here, the Orion Lady would have to give birth to some right and wrong sooner or later.

Mu Li saw that her attitude was very firm, and when he thought of the pungent look of the Orion lady and his husband when she quarreled, he also felt that she must be difficult to deal with, so he decided to go back and ask.

The two of them wandered outside for a long time, thinking that they should be done arguing by this time, and went back. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, it was quiet. The two looked at each other, then pushed the door in.

The yard had long been cleaned up, and the broken things could not even be seen. The two children were playing in the courtyard, the Orion was sharpening the knife, and the Orion lady was washing the clothes, and it seemed very harmonious.

Only then did Mu Li remember that the clothes they had changed had not yet been washed. I wanted to ask Orion's lady to borrow the utensils for laundry, but I thought that she was a man who liked to provoke men, so I couldn't move half a minute......
