Chapter 2: A strong man from a neighboring village

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a man's arms. In the afternoon, when the sun was in full bloom, Su Mi was in a trance, and he couldn't really see the man's face.

"It's good that you met me, otherwise you would have lost your little life. For a few water chestnuts, is it worth it? The man's voice was rough, but he spoke cleanly.

Su Mi blinked her apricot-like eyes, and slowly propped up her thin body, and the place where her skin was pierced by the edges and corners was stinging tightly.

"I ...... I just want to pick some water chestnuts and take them home for my brother and sister-in-law! After struggling to sit up, he saw that he was sitting on a wooden boat, and the surroundings were tightly shaded by water chestnuts and aquatic plants. The man in front of him looked at him, but he looked like a local.

"That...... If the strong man has nothing to do, can you help me pick some water chestnuts! Su Mi looked at the man in front of him, his dark eyes under his dark skin were particularly energetic, his lips were slightly curved under the high bridge of his nose, and his whole face was as hard as if he had been cut by a knife.

For some reason, his cheeks turned hot and turned peachy.

"You don't have to be afraid, my name is Zhao Laosan. It is from Zhaojia Village next door, and it does tofu business in the town. Zhao Laosan did not refuse Su Mi, and took off some water chestnuts with the scimitar in his hand: "The life of the people is no different from the famine at present, these water chestnuts are enough for your family to eat." ”

Su Mi was stunned at first, after her father's death, no man treated her so kindly, and she couldn't help but have crystal clear tears in her eyes. The teardrop was not angry, and after a while, it ran down the delicate cheeks and crossed the slightly pointed chin.

After a slow time, he reached out to pick it up, Zhao Laosan looked at her white arms full of water chestnut punctures, his eyebrows tightened, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Your hand is injured, I have some potions here for you to take." In addition, there is also tofu that has not been sold out today, and I will give it to you. ”

Although he was a strange man, this voice revealed a bit firmness, so that Su Mi had no reason to refuse, so he had to put down his rolled up sleeves and cover his white wrists.

Zhao Laosan saw that the woman in front of him lowered her eyelids, her tightly curled eyelashes flickered, and there were still some tears hanging on her head, and her heart was stunned: "Look at your face, are you from Sujia Village?" I'll send you back! ”

Su Mi didn't refute, sitting at the bow of the boat and looking at his trouser legs were covered with mud. He quickly swung his legs in the water, and the mud on his head was washed away in a few moments.

"If you wear this wet clothes for a long time, you will get sick!" Zhao Laosan rowed, and the afterglow caught a glimpse of Su Mi's slender ankles.

"I'm ...... for the time being. That's all there is for now! He lifted his leg and sat down in the stern again.

Zhao Laosan didn't speak, and the boat rowed unhurriedly along the way. The spring sun in the afternoon was comfortable, and before he knew it, Su Mi fell asleep on a small wooden table on the stern.

When he woke up, it turned out to be evening, Su Mi stood up in a panic, stumbled under his feet, and planted himself in the water.

Fortunately, he was held by a pair of wide palms around his waist, and it was Zhao Laosan who raised his eyes.

"You slept soundly!" Zhao Laosan's face was still calm, but the movements in his hands were extremely gentle, he put down the person in his arms, and took a pomegranate-colored cloth from the package he carried: "Take it back and make clothes!" ”

I didn't know what to do, and a little face was flushed: "But...... But we've only just met! ”

"It's all suffering people, girl Mo Duoxin."

When Zhao Lao Er saw her get off the boat, he was embarrassed to twist and pinch, and only brought a belt of water chestnuts. Reaching out and stuffing a few pieces of tofu and the cloth to her: "Go back!" ”

Su Mi didn't know what to say, but saw that Zhao Lao Er had already rowed and turned around, leaving only a hard and wide back in her eyelids.
