"Is anyone home?"

Dongfang Wu was feeding Xiao Ming porridge in the house, when a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"I'll take a look, you can do it yourself!" Dongfang Wu stuffed the porridge bowl into Xiao Ming's other hand.

When he opened the door, a cold wind invaded and entered, and Dongfang Wu couldn't help but shiver, walked out of the door, and closed the door.

I saw a woman carrying a basket standing outside the courtyard, ordinary in appearance, but with a gentle complexion, an old blue cloth wrapped in a bun of hair on her head, wearing a gray cloth dress, and a dark red skirt on her lower body, although it was a little old, it was also regular, and there were no patches.

Dongfang Wu looked at her carefully, but felt that this woman was not familiar, and she didn't think she was from Tucun.

She asked, "Sister, ask for directions?" ”

When the woman saw her come out, she said happily, "Girl, I am the cook of the Rong family, and I have bought vegetables from you!" ”

Dongfang was shivering coldly, but he didn't know what this woman was doing from the city to her hut on a snowy day, and looked at her with some doubts.

The woman saw that she was thinly dressed, her figure trembled slightly, and her eyes were suspicious, but she did not invite her in, so she said bluntly: "Girl, that's the case, our son-in-law's surname is Rong, and he especially likes to eat the vegetables you grow, but there are no fresh vegetables on the street this winter, so I asked all the way and wanted to buy some vegetables you planted!" ”

Scold! It turns out that this is the case, the life of the rich son is so good, if he wants to eat fresh vegetables, people go all the way to buy them, and Dongfang Wu is envious••••••

"Eh, so that's the case, eldest sister, come in and dig what you want, you come all the way, I'll give you a cheaper!" Dongfang Wu opened the courtyard door and invited the woman in.

"Well, okay, then thank you girl, please forgive me for the trouble!" The woman responded with joy, and her words were full of polite thanks.

The woman took out a cloth bag from the basket, handed it to Dongfang Wu, and said, "Girl, last time I noticed that your clothes were thin, and I have been remembering this since I went back. ”

Dongfang Wu took the burden, lifted a corner and looked at it, among the gray baggage was an old cotton coat, it was cold in winter, she couldn't deny it, she needed this very much, I wanted to come, this was to send her clothes in the snow.

didn't twist it, and immediately said: "So, thank you eldest sister, you can invite yourself into the hospital to pick vegetables, I won't accept today's vegetable money!" ”

"Okay, thank you girl!" The woman smiled at the corners of her eyes, and she looked unusually warm in the howling snowstorm.

The woman went into the garden of Dongfang Wu, and soon plucked a few turnips, and picked a Chinese cabbage, and a bundle of spinach, and came out, and said goodbye to Dongfang Wu.

Dongfang Wu didn't leave her behind, and sent her out of the yard, the woman walked two steps and suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at her red and somewhat abnormal face, and said, "Girl, are you sick?" ”

Dongfang Wu smiled indifferently and said lightly: "I was infected with the wind and cold a few days ago, it's okay!" ”

"Well, that girl takes care of her life, if I need to come back next time," the woman said, and said no more, and walked away in the snow.

All the way out of the village, on the official road, a carriage was waiting there, the woman quickly stepped forward, and said, "Childe, the girl seems to be infected with the cold!" ”

"Huh? Tomorrow you'll run again! A low, magnetic male voice came from the carriage.

I heard the woman say respectfully: "Yes" and sat on the frame, the coachman beat the horse and left, and the brass bell sounded crisp and pleasant, resounding all the way through the cold wind.

When Dongfang Wu returned to the house, a lot of snow had fallen on his hair, and his cloth was also wet, Xiao Ming had finished eating the porridge, he sat quietly on the bamboo bed, and when he saw that she was frozen, his face was gloomy.

"Come over and bake the fire," Xiao Ming said with some displeasure.

"Hmm," Dongfang Wu replied.

Walking over slowly, he took off his short jacket without any scruples, approached the charcoal basin with stiff legs, put his clothes on the low table, pulled the low table closer to the charcoal basin, opened a pair of hands that were pale and blue from the cold, and stretched out above the brazier to greedily absorb the temperature of the charcoal fire.

Xiao Ming seemed to be accustomed to her habit of not knowing how to shy away, and stretched out his inflexible hand to untie off his cloth clothes and drape it over her shoulders.

When it was warmer, Dongfang Wu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, baked a sweet potato and ate it simply, helped Xiao Ming to lie down and covered him with a quilt, and lay on the bed dizzily.

This night, Xiao Ming almost didn't sleep all night, Dongfang Wu was hot for a while and cold for a while, cold sweat broke out all over, and he still murmured in his mouth: "Dad, Dad, God's grace, don't •••••• Dad's hands, God's grace, God's grace, God's grace••••••"

"Divine Grace•••••• Dad, Cold ••••••"

"You •••••• don't •••••• don't go••••••"

"Take me along, it's so cold here•••••• it's so cold••••••"

Xiao Ming fumbled, wiping the sweat on her face with his sleeve, Dongfang Wu fell into a nightmare, no matter what he called her, she didn't wake up, he touched her face, her neck, her skin was silky, but it was cold, he twisted his body with difficulty and approached her, took her in his arms, and passed his body temperature to her continuously.

At this moment, there is no Ling'er in his heart, only this woman who is in her body.

It wasn't until dawn that Dongfang Wu stopped murmuring and fell asleep, but Xiao Ming, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't sleep, and hugged the body in his arms tightly, he didn't know who she was calling, he lived under the same roof with her, for three months, she was always alone, few people came to talk to her, and she rarely interacted with people in the village, and would only say a few more words to Zhou Daming, who came to give her some food from time to time.

She was obviously not a native of the village, so who was she and where did she come from? She is so beautiful and out of the dust, isn't she the fairy who fell into the mortal dust above the nine heavens? Yes, she knows how to have strange medical skills, she knows such mysterious boxing techniques, she doesn't care, she doesn't stick to the etiquette of the world, but she is upright and upright, everything about her has long exceeded the world's cognition.

Listening to her mournful shouting of her father and divine grace, he thought, maybe it was her real relative, such a strange title, that is, among the four countries of the south, east, west, and north, he had never heard such a title before. Yes, he had never heard of her, so, did they leave her behind?

Where did they go? Did she go to a warm place, and she also wanted to leave this purgatory on earth? Xiao Ming's fingers clenched tightly, and the arm holding Dongfang Wu tightened a little, and he didn't know what psychology it was, he suddenly wanted to fulfill what he said before.

He said: If the girl is worried, after I have recovered from my injury, I can marry the girl and enter the door, so that the girl's reputation will not be damaged, and promise the girl that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life!

At that time, her face was unhappy, and she did not answer, thinking that she did not care.

He began to understand himself, he obviously didn't like this woman, but for some reason, he didn't want to let go, he didn't want to let her go somewhere else, if only he could keep her by his side, I think Lingxiu knew that she saved him, and he would definitely not object!

When Dongfang Wu woke up, Xiao Ming was asleep, and the snow outside the house was still falling down, covering the ground with snow white.

Finding that she was being held in Xiao Ming's arms, she was immediately startled, like a mouse that had been stepped on by a cat, she struggled out of his arms helplessly, and also woke up Xiao Ming.

There was a slight fatigue in his eyes, and when he saw her at such a loss, he panicked in his heart.

Dongfang Wu quickly turned over and got out of bed, took the cloth clothes that had been dried on the low table and put them on, and sat on the small bamboo bench by the charcoal basin, his heart beating like a drum.

"You got worse last night, and you kept saying it was cold, so •••••• made this decision, I hope •••••• girl forgive me!" Xiao Ming's face was shallow, seeing her like this, what she said was to the point, but her heart was faintly blocked.

"Huh!" Dongfang Wu responded.

She felt that her body was indeed a little easier today than yesterday, and the fever had subsided, Dongfang Wu didn't say more, and used a bamboo clip to take out a few pieces of charcoal from the basket in the corner of the wall, and put them on the residual spark that appeared after throwing away the ash layer.

It was she who ignored it, he was already able to move, not as straight and upright as before, unable to move, he would get better day by day, it was because he couldn't do anything before, she could put her heart down and share the bed with him, now is the time to think about this problem.

Dongfang Wu's face was solemn and fell into contemplation, Xiao Ming just lay on the bed, watching the charcoal in the clay pot ignited little by little, but the afterglow always stayed on Dongfang Wu's face, and his heart sank slightly.

She seemed to forget about it quickly, took some flour out to make a paste, cooked the batter for Xiao Ming, grabbed a sweet potato herself, took out a dagger and peeled it and gnawed it.

He was shocked in his heart, "You just eat this?" ”

"Hmmm! If you don't eat this, what will you eat? Dongfang Wu looked like a matter of course.

"You've been eating this all these days?" He asked again.

"Childe, you see that my dilapidated thatched hut is leaking everywhere, and then look at the inside of the house, it can be said that there are four walls of the house, and some of the conditions are very good to eat, the life of the poor, you know?" She pointed to the sweet potato in her hand again, "This is already delicious for me!" ”

"This ••••••" he looked at the bowl full of steaming batter in his hand, and suddenly couldn't speak.

"When you go back and send me money, I can improve my life, otherwise, why do you think I'm so poor?" She gave him a blank look, and she didn't have a good breath.

He watched her nibble on the sweet potato in her hand with relish, his eyes uncontrollably sour, and the warm mist blurred his vision.

It turned out that she had been giving him all the good food, and she had eaten very poorly herself. Xiao Ming's hand holding the batter bowl froze there, looking at her emaciated body, his heart hurt a little, he said: "Maybe I ate too much last night, and some of them don't eat, why don't we eat this bowl of batter and eat it!" ”

Dongfang Wu glanced at him and said, "It's okay, I'll warm you if you can't finish eating, when are you hungry and when to eat, you are a big man, and you are injured, don't pretend to be reserved here, recover early and go on the road early!" ”

Then he whispered, "It's good for me to get rich sooner!" ”

Hearing this, somehow, he was unhappy in his heart, and he suddenly became angry. He slammed the bowl of porridge on the low table and said, "If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either!" The woman spoke to him like that.

Before, he wanted to get better quickly and wanted to get out of here, but when he heard her say this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

She just wanted to get rid of him?

That's right, she only has silver in her heart!

Well? Dongfang Wu turned his face to look at him, his handsome face was full of silt, yo, I take care of you, you still have a temper? What a reason!

Dongfang Wu actually smiled brightly, "Tut-tut•••••• is really the son of a rich family, and he is also angry with his life-saving benefactor!" ”

Her laughter was three points of excitement and seven points of mockery. She suddenly felt that there was a lot of hope for getting rich, and I hope this person has a big conscience and will be rewarded more!

Xiao Mingyingxiu's long eyebrows furrowed, Dongfang Wu waved his hand, and said, "Eat you obediently, don't bother to pay attention to you!" ”

"You ••••••" Xiao Ming blocked his heart in one breath and couldn't express it.

was about to reason with Dongfang Wu, but he heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the house.

"Who?" Dongfang Wu's body looked slightly condensed, and the whole person suddenly became vigilant.
