"Are you awake?" A male voice came from the side, Cheng Jiaojiao was stunned, turned her eyes to look, and saw the man called Chengsan standing aside, seeing her wake up, the man's eyes lit up, and he brought a bowl of soup: "I'm hungry, come and drink this soup." ”

Cheng Jiaojiao's eyes showed clear fear in her heart, and she watched him step forward, only to involuntarily retreat towards the bed.

Seeing her like this, Li Chengda put the soup bowl on the head of the bed, and he looked at Cheng Jiaojiao's eyes, and laughed at himself: "Don't be afraid, I have a bad reputation, I have been in prison, I am still a poor bastard, except for a lame father at home, there is not even an acre of land, I will not let you follow me, you take care of your body, I will find a car to send you back." ”

Cheng Jiaojiao was stunned, she looked at the man in front of her, his eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to have the slightest hint of fraud, but thinking of the ten taels of silver he gave to Aunt Ye, how could he send himself home?

"You don't believe me? You go out to inquire, Li Chengsan has always said the same thing, and he will never break his word. The man seemed to sense the doubt in the girl's eyes, and he patted his chest and opened his mouth in no uncertain terms.

Cheng Jiaojiao looked at his eyes, only to feel that her heart was inexplicably settled, she sat up from the bed, gestured and told him: "I will return the silver to you." ”

Looking at her gestures and eyes, Li Chengda roughly understood what she meant, and only asked, "Are you talking about silver?" ”

Cheng Jiaojiao saw that he could understand his gestures, and nodded with some joy at the moment.

"It's all some external objects," Li Chengda said disapprerovantly, he looked at the girl in front of him, the wound on Cheng Jiaojiao's forehead had been re-bandaged by the doctor, under the candlelight, her small waist was so thin, but her skin was so white, and her eyes were watery, as if she could speak, Li Chengda looked at her and couldn't help but whisper: "You are such a beautiful girl, then Aunt Ye doesn't know how to torture you." ”

Suddenly hearing a man praise her appearance, Cheng Jiaojiao was startled at first, and then two blushes floated on her pale face, and she lowered her eyes in a panic, very at a loss.

"My name is Li Chengda, and I am three at home, and others call me Chengsan, but few people call me Li Chengda's name." Li Chengda was still looking at her, and he had nothing to say and reported his understanding to her.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old male voice from the outhouse, shouting, "Cheng San......"

"It's coming!" Li Chengda immediately responded, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Cheng Jiaojiao again and told her: "It's my father, you drink the soup and go to bed early, don't do stupid things again." ”

After saying this, Li Chengda took one last look at the girl's slender figure before getting up and leaving the house.

After he left, Cheng Jiaojiao dared to raise her eyes, and her gaze fell on the bowl of soup at the head of the bed, which was a steaming bowl of chicken soup, and the chicken legs and chicken wings only piled one bowl to the brim.

In the back room, when he saw his son coming in, Father Li raised the crutches in his hand, and without saying a word, he beckoned to Li Chengda, "You stinky boy, those ten taels of silver are so easy to save, and they are to be kept for us to repair the house, why did you give it all to the Ye family?" ”

Li Chengda seemed to be used to being beaten, so he pushed the crutches disapprenorantly, stepped forward and took Daddy Li's arm, helped him to the bed and sat down, and said: "It's just ten taels of silver, and you can earn it back after a few more trips to the mountain, you don't know that the Ye family's mother-in-law can sell the girl into the kiln for that bit of silver." ”

"And what are you going to do when you pick that girl up? Can you have this kindness? You're not looking at people beautifully. Father Li sat down on the bed, looked at his son's face, and still spoke angrily.

was told by the old father that he was in his mind, Li Chengda was a little embarrassed, only touched his nose, and did not say anything.
