Xiao Ming stopped talking, and a pair of deep eyes turned outside the house.

Xiao Ming also calmed down, looking at her a little strangely, her reaction was too strange; She is so vigilant, this is the quality that an ordinary village girl should have? But outside the hospital, I heard a woman's voice.

"Girl, are you home?"

This voice is a little familiar, it is the woman who came to the house to buy vegetables yesterday, Dongfang Wu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glanced at Xiao Ming, stood up and pushed the door out.

"Eh, eldest sister, it's you!" Dongfang Wu stepped on the snow in the courtyard, slowly walked to the door and opened the courtyard door.

The woman was still dressed as yesterday, carrying the vegetable basket of yesterday, and Dongfang Wu looked into her basket, which was stacked with several tightly tied yellow paper bags.

Seeing that her eyes stopped on the paper bag in the basket, the woman took out the paper bag and said, "Well, yesterday I saw that the girl's wind cold was a little serious, and I mentioned it a little when I went back, and our son-in-law asked me to bring medicine to cure the wind and cold." ”

Dongfang Wu raised her lips and smiled, staring at the woman with her beautiful eyes as bright as stars.

The woman was stunned by her clear eyes, and then said: "My son-in-law heard that the girl was sick, and guessed that the girl might have suffered from the cold, and it must be difficult for her to go into the city to buy medicine by herself in such weather, so I brought the medicine, which is considered to be worth the cost of the food." ”

"Oh•••••• eldest sister, I have recovered from the cold today, and I don't need medicine. Presumably, the price of this medicine is enough for you to come to me to pick a month's vegetables; My vegetable garden is so big, I'm afraid that if I pull out all the vegetables in it and sell it to you, I will have to find you money! Dongfang Wu said with a smile.

"This ••••••," the woman's face looked embarrassed.

"Why don't you take it back today's dishes first, and give me the money next time you come?" Oriental Wudao.

The woman looked at Dongfang Wu's complexion, and saw that she was indeed fine, so she only thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay then! ”

After that, Dongfang Wu let the woman into the courtyard, and still let her go to the yard to pick vegetables by herself, and the woman said goodbye and left after picking the vegetables.

The gorgeous carriage was still parked on the official road, and the woman stepped forward and bowed her head: "Childe, you didn't send it out!" ”

"Why?" A low, magnetic male voice came from the carriage, and although it was only two words, the voice was unusually good.

Hearing this, the woman's body was shocked, her face was slightly solemn, and she said, "The girl said that she has a good wind, so let the slave and maid settle the money for her the next time she comes." ”

"She, how?" The man asked lightly.

But the woman knew that the master was asking how the girl was doing, so she said, "The girl's face is as usual, and her symptoms have disappeared!" ”

"Well, let's go!" The man's voice was faint.

"Yes," the woman replied, got into the carriage, and the groom drove the horse away.

At this time, Dongfang Wu kept coughing in his small hut, Xiao Ming frowned and worried: "You are being targeted, what's the matter?" ”

Dongfang Wu stopped coughing, her face flushed abnormally, and she said: "Two months ago, I bought medicine for you in Ankang Hall, but the money was not enough, so I begged in front of the medicine shop, and since then I have been targeted!" ”

She said it easily, Xiao Ming's heart sank slightly, and said, "You always know? ”

"Naturally, do I look silly?" Dongfang Wu smiled indifferently at him and continued to nibble on the sweet potato in his hand.

"Do you know who's eyeing you?" Xiao Ming wanted to ask her if she had seen that son, but she felt that it was difficult to ask, so she knocked on the side.

"Didn't you hear that too? Let's see, I'm happy that someone will come to the door to deliver money, and besides, there is no food at home, and it is better for someone to send money than to starve to death! Dongfang Wu glanced at him and said.

Sure enough, the next day the woman came to her house to buy vegetables again, and gave Dongfang Wu the money she owed yesterday.

Dongfang Wu, on the other hand, had a business-like smile, and after a few words of greeting her, he sent her out of the door with a cold smile in his heart.

Xiao Ming felt uneasy in his heart, and said to Dongfang Wu: "Someone must have instructed her to come, it must be something else, you have to be careful!" ”

He was worried that someone with bad intentions would find him here, and if someone he didn't know was fine, if he knew him, it would be troublesome.

Dongfang Wu raised his chin, looked at his handsome face with a little melancholy, and said with a smile: "Well, what his son-in-law wants to eat is not a dish!" ”

What is not a dish? Staring at Dongfang Wu's bright eyes, that face that was so beautiful that it was not like a mortal, the next moment, Xiao Ming's heart was clear, it turned out to be like this, and his heart was put down again. He was amazed that this woman could see so thoroughly, hanging down her long eyelashes like a feather fan, covering the thoughts in her eyes, and not saying much at the moment.

For many days the woman came to buy groceries, and the snow had stopped, and the snow on the road had melted, and the wind had begun to ease.

"Presumably the son of the Rong family, he is not tired of eating the vegetables you grow!" Seeing Dongfang Wu push the door in, Xiao Ming was a little displeased.

"Oh? Looks like you're tired of it! Dongfang Wu smiled.

"I ••••••" he wanted to say something, but Lingxiu's face flashed through his mind, and finally he endured it.

His body recovered quickly, and it was not in vain that Dongfang Wu dedicated all the delicious food to him, Dongfang Wu said: "Don't worry, you can bear with it, with your physique, not to mention raising it for a hundred days, seventy days is probably about the same!" ”

Suddenly thinking of something, she continued: "Ah, by the way, if you are going to leave one day and you want to say something, tell me in advance, don't leave a note or anything!" ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then asked the guess in his heart, "You can't read?" ”

Dongfang Wu: "Hmm! I'm a village girl, I don't have that condition; I don't know it, and it doesn't know me! ”

Xindao: Your characters are so complicated, and I haven't studied ancient Chinese, where do I know that! Think about my 25th century, a generation of amazing and glamorous female talents, who came here and became illiterate! It's not easy to survive, and it's all tears when you talk too much.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming laughed lowly, his eyebrows and eyes softened, although he was wearing a cloth coat full of patches, but because of this smile, the whole room was brightened, and Dongfang Wu was dazzled.

A few days passed, the snow on the road had completely melted, Dongfang Wu stepped on the muddy soil, tidying up his vegetable garden in the courtyard, but she heard Zhou Daming call her from a distance, "Oriental girl, Oriental girl, no, no, no••••••"

Dongfang Wu raised his head from the courtyard to look at him, Zhou Daming was out of breath, and said, "Dongfang girl, something is wrong!" ”

She walked out of the courtyard gate quickly, stood in front of Zhou Daming, and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong, did something happen?" ”

I wondered in my heart, could it be that something happened to Aunt Zhou?

Zhou Daming was sweating profusely, and before he had time to wipe it, he slowed down, gasped and said: "I heard Deng Changan, the son of Widow Sun, say that •••••• said that people have come down from the city, and they want to gather unmarried women who have reached the age of sixteen, saying that they are going to be sent to Jinghua City!" ”

This Deng Chang'an, Dongfang Wu has heard a little, Widow Sun has a son surnamed Deng with her, called Deng Chang'an, who works as an errand in the county government, it is said that there are two taels of silver in January, this Deng Changan is a filial piety, and handed over all the moon silver to Widow Sun's expenses, so Widow Sun's family has a good life.

Dongfang Wu asked: "Unmarried?" ”

She instantly understood something, thinking that it was the same set of the ancients in the past, sending the selected girls into the red walls and high tiles, as slaves and maids, and playthings for those in power!

Zhou Daming hurriedly said: "Yes, if you are selected, I am afraid you will never come back, Oriental girl, I am a rough person, I know that I am not worthy of you, but it is said that the palace is a place where people eat people and do not spit out bones, I am here to tell you, if you don't want to go, I will marry you, I will be good to you for the rest of my life!" ”

The man who has always been thin-skinned boldly said that he wanted to marry her at this time, it seems that he is really in a hurry!

Dongfang Wu frowned and pondered.

Zhou Daming saw that she was unmoved, and his heart was lost, but he continued: "If you don't want to marry me, it's better to hide elsewhere, don't be caught by them and go to that place to suffer." ”

"Brother Zhou, thank you for coming to tell me about this, I know, I have my own plans for this matter, you go back, thank you very much!" Dongfang Wu thanked him.

Zhou Daming was anxious when he saw that she still looked indifferent, and said to him urgently: "Oriental girl, my aunt said that I was stupid and timid, I admit that I am cowardly, I will tell the truth today!" ”

"Since you arrived in our Tucun, I have taken a fancy to you, I really like you, my aunt also likes you, our whole family likes you, really, I don't lie to you!" Zhou Daming looked earnest.

Dongfang Wu: "••••••"

Zhou Daming: "Oriental girl, I will be cheeky to ask for marriage today, and our family can't get any bride price, but I can guarantee that if you agree to marry me, I will definitely love you in the future, and I will never lose you food and clothing, and I will not let you suffer, as long as I am here, I will give you the top when the sky falls!" ”

"You don't have to worry about discord with your mother-in-law after you get married, you know, my aunt likes you very much, you will be happy when we are together! You must not go to that Jinghua City, and I don't want you to leave here. ”

A simple man in the village can actually say this, Dongfang Wu is moved in his heart, thinking that since he came to this village, Zhou Daming has always been quietly good to her, and he will stuff her with some food every once in a while.

If she hadn't looked down on those things before, but here, a bite of food is really expensive.

But she really didn't think about getting married, she only had gratitude to Zhou Daming in her heart, but she had no other feelings.

Dragging mud and water is not her style, and she immediately said: "Brother Zhou, I know that you and Aunt Zhou are very good to me, I have always been grateful to you, and I am grateful to the neighbors for taking care of me, but I think getting married is a lifelong matter for two people, if they love each other, it is okay, but I only have gratitude to Brother Zhou."

After a pause, she said again: "So, I'm sorry, I'll find a way to solve this matter, thank you Brother Zhou for telling me, I'll go in first!" ”

"Oriental girl••••••" Zhou Daming was unwilling and shouted at her.

Dongfang Wu went into the courtyard by himself, closed the door, and then entered the hut and closed the door.

Zhou Daming didn't understand why Dongfang Wu refused so simply, and he didn't understand why she was unwilling to marry him, he always felt that Dongfang Wu was very good to him and his aunt, and she was beautiful and knew some medical skills, and he liked her very much, but she said that it was grateful, he didn't understand why he couldn't marry him because of gratitude, and he didn't understand what she said about mutual admiration.

He only knew that if he married her, he would be very good to her, but she didn't want to!

After wandering outside the courtyard gate of Dongfang Wu for a long time, Zhou Daming took heavy steps and stepped on the muddy soil to walk back.

Dongfang Wu had been standing behind the door and was relieved to see him go away.
