(The second watch arrives, and the third watch is served at half past four in the afternoon!) ）

When Xiao Tianjian returned to his residence, it was already the third watch, and he had a drink with those guys, compared to the wine he drank with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng at noon during the day, it was much more enjoyable, and he didn't think much about it, but Xiao Tianjian was still a little unhappy in the afternoon, and it wasn't until after the wine in the evening that he was completely comfortable in his heart.

After inspecting the sentry posts everywhere, he saw that none of the soldiers on duty left their posts without permission, and there was no change in Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's camp outside the mountain, so he was relieved, and after instructing the secret sentry to keep an eye on Gao Yingxiang's camp, he reflexively returned to his residence to rest.

As in the past, Fan Ling'er did not go to bed in advance, but waited for Xiao Tianjian to come back in Xiao Tianjian's room, and waited for Xiao Tianjian to wash before leaving.

But Xiao Tianjian came back too late today, and the people in the village who were not on duty fell asleep early, and only Fan Ling'er was still fighting and insisted on waiting for Xiao Tianjian to come back.

Looking at the girl who was dozing under the lamp, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart, Fan Linger used to live the days of a young lady from a big family who came to stretch out her hand for food and open her mouth, but since Fan Jiabao was broken by him, she became his maid, this kind of sharp identity change is not something that ordinary people can bear, but Fan Linger still completed this identity transformation, and he is still serving him, the enemy of the broken family, you can imagine what kind of torment this girl has to endure in her heart.

At the beginning, Xiao Tianjian was still wary of Fan Linger, but after these few months, he no longer suspected that Fan Ling'er had any other purpose in staying by his side, Fan Linger was just a poor person, she just wanted to survive in this troubled world, and as long as she still wanted to survive, then the only person she could rely on was him Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian believed that he would not be wrong about this, he didn't dare to say it at the beginning, but now he can guarantee that Fan Ling'er will never be unfavorable to him again.

During this period of time, he could vaguely see from Fan Linger's eyes that the contradictions and entanglements in Fan Linger's heart had faded a lot, and he was replaced by an indescribable look, always secretly observing himself, and sometimes when he returned to his residence tiredly, he would show a resentful look from time to time, what does this mean? Xiao Tianjian prides himself on not being an idiot, but he can still see Fan Linger's thoughts.

From Fan Linger's mental trajectory, he can see that when Fan Linger first saw him, she treated him with fear and fear mixed with helpless hatred, at that time she expressed her willingness to commit to him, but it was simply driven by the desire to survive, and following him to Tianlong Village was also for the purpose of living, and now after such a long time, Fan Linger is no longer in the mood at that time, and he also observed the contradictory struggle in Fan Linger's heart during the period, but recently after he almost ate her, Fan Ling'er has obviously put aside her previous grievances and no longer thinks about what happened to her family.

And now Fan Linger's status can be said to be a little embarrassing, Xing Tianjun thinks that Fan Ling'er is already Xiao Tianjian's bed-warmer, but only Xiao Tianjian and Fan Ling'er themselves know that they haven't done anything yet, so Fan Linger's resentment can also be understood, always hanging like this, Fan Ling'er will never rest assured, because in this world, like a woman with a pole, there is no status at all, and many times after the leader gets tired of playing, he casually throws them to his subordinates. They may even be given away as gifts at will, and people can dispose of them casually.

The most outrageous thing is that even when there is a shortage of food, some poles kill the captured women as livestock in order to survive, and eat them, this kind of thing has been heard more than once after Xiao Tianjian came to this era.

And he can also understand Fan Ling'er's mood, he is frightened all day long, for fear that any situation will occur, this kind of spiritual torment, on anyone, I am afraid it will not be comfortable.

During this period of time, Xiao Tianjian was busy with the affairs of the Xingtianjun all day long, and after coming back every day, it was like unloading a thousand catties of heavy burden, it was not nice to say, tired like a dead dog, as soon as he returned to his residence, he had a kind of big tendon and just wanted to lie down and sleep quickly, so since that time, he has never found a chance to eat this little white sheep.

And Fan Ling'er was naturally not so thick-skinned that she took off her clothes and lay on his bed waiting for him to come back, so nothing happened between them during this time.

Xiao Tianjian drank some wine today, and when he saw Fan Ling'er sitting alone under the lamp with his back to the door, with a pair of boots that had not yet been put away, he fell asleep on the edge of the table, these boots don't need to be seen, Xiao Tianjian also knew that Fan Ling'er was going to wear them for him, to be honest, when he first came to this world, Xiao Tianjian had never worn a pair of suitable shoes since the shoes on his feet were worn out, for no other reason, just because his feet were too big, and it was not easy to grab a pair of suitable shoes. Later, it was Hu Yue'e who used to make a pair of leather boots for him, but unfortunately after Hu Yue'e died, he didn't have a suitable shoe to replace, and now the pair of leather boots on his feet are still the pair that Hu Yue'e made for him, but they are already broken, and God knows how many days they can last.

And Fan Linger obviously saw that his boots were broken, so he started to make a pair of new boots with cloth soles for him, and now it seems that these boots are basically done, only the sole and the upper are finally sewn together, just by looking at the boot soles made by thousands of stitches, he can guess the degree of Fan Linger's intentions.

So his heart suddenly softened, and he gently walked behind Fan Ling'er and sat on a stool beside her.

"Ling'er!"

"Ah......h Fan Ling'er in her sleep was violently excited, like a needle, jumped up, and fell down with the stool she was sitting on, she woke up suddenly, and was a little confused, she fell down in a hurry, and hurriedly went to support the table, but she grabbed a big needle inserted in her boots, and was pricked by the big needle firmly in her fingers, and she exclaimed in pain.

"General! What happened! The guards standing guard outside the gate of the courtyard heard Fan Ling'er exclaim inside, and immediately pushed the door and rushed into the small courtyard, shouting at Xiao Tianjian's room with the lights on.

Xiao Tianjian grabbed Fan Ling'er, who was about to fall, and gently dragged Fan Ling'er to sit on his lap, and after hearing the startled questions of the guards outside, he immediately replied: "You guys go out!" It's okay! ”

The two guards on duty glanced at each other, smiled at each other, quickly confessed, ran out, closed the door of the small courtyard, and no longer listened to the sound in the small courtyard, and deliberately stayed away from some small courtyards to prevent anyone from entering the small courtyard and disturbing Xiao Tianjian's good deeds.

Fan Ling'er, who had just woken up from a dream, was held by Xiao Tianjian and sat on his lap, frowning, clutching his right middle finger.

Xiao Tianjian saw the blood on Fan Linger's finger by the light, so he put her finger in his mouth and sucked it gently, the girl's blood had a sweet taste, which quickly spread in his mouth.

Fan Linger nervously watched Xiao Tianjian sucking the wound of his finger for her, the pain of the needle prick quickly dissipated under his sucking, and at this time she suddenly realized that she was actually sitting on his lap by Xiao Tianjian, which almost never happened except for that night.

From Xiao Tianjian's movements, Fan Ling'er felt a trace of gentleness, looking at Xiao Tianjian's angular face under the light of the oil lamp, Fan Ling'er suddenly had a feeling of intoxication, involuntarily moaned slightly, and gently leaned into Xiao Tianjian's arms.

Seeing that Fan Ling'er did not push away his arm to escape from him, but snuggled up in his arms like a kitten, Xiao Tianjian's heart was also soft, spit out her fingers like green onions, looked down at Fan Linger's slender jade hand, and suddenly he saw that a layer of calluses appeared on Fan Linger's white fingers, losing their original delicate softness.

Xiao Tianjian's heart twitched slightly, once upon a time, these hands should have been a pair of hands that never worked, but now there are such calluses, of course Xiao Tianjian knows what this is.

Although Fan Ling'er was left to serve Xiao Tianjian by Xiao Tianjian, for those in the Xingtianjun, this is already a very easy job, but it looks easy, but it is not easy to do, Xiao Tianjian likes to be clean, plus the weather is hot, Xiao Tianjian has to change his clothes every day, and he can't have time to wash it himself, so Fan Linger has to help Xiao Tianjian wash his clothes every day, and at the same time, he is also responsible for cleaning the entire courtyard, boiling hot water for Xiao Tianjian, for Xiao Tianjian to bathe at night, in his spare time, She also has to help sew clothes for the soldiers, do some needlework, there is no shortage of chores, and when she has nothing to do at night, she has to make clothes and boots for Xiao Tianjian, for a young lady like her who still needs to be served by others a few months ago, doing these things is already commendable, but Fan Linger finally gritted her teeth and persevered, and adapted to this life at a very fast speed, from another point of view, Fan Linger's resilience is still quite strong.

If it weren't for this damn world, Xiao Tianjian believed that Fan Ling'er should live an easy life in this life, and when she grew up, she would marry a man who was the right person, continue to live a life of stretching out her hands and eating to open her mouth, and spend this life with her husband and children, but now she wants to stay by his side and do some things that a maid does, and she is still serving an enemy whose hands are stained with the blood of her family, and she is suffering from this unbearable torment physically and mentally.
