Xiao Tao was taken away by Yayu, and the Lu family had one less girl to do things, so Lu Erniang became busy. When Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were still making wine with jujubes, Lu Erniang began to cook again. As for the girl Zao'er, she is more attentive than before. However, her words are much less, and people are a lot more restrained.

Lu Xiang'er in front of Lu Erniang acted as if nothing had happened, but in private, she was worried that Xiao Tao would be bought by someone with ulterior motives, which would be detrimental to the Lu family. Chaoxia saw Lu Xiang'er's worries, so she came to Lu Xiang'er's room on the night when Xiao Tao was sold.

"I know you're worried about Peach, so I'll deal with her tonight." Chaoxia's tone was light, but it made Lu Xiang'er feel a little cool from the bottom of her heart.

Before, Chaoxia had said some things about herself, and Lu Xianger also knew that Chaoxia was also a ranger with strong martial arts. But as the affection between Chaoxia and the Lu family became deeper and deeper, Lu Xianger also knew from Chaoxia's intentional disclosure that she was a killer when she was in the Chen Wangfu.

Chaoxia once followed her stepfather Wang Zhen and was forced to kill a lot of people for King Chen. Killers kill people, naturally they have all kinds of means, and they can kill any kind of person. Although Chaoxia has little time to do it herself, it is her stepfather who comes forward. But even watching from the side, Chaoxia also thought that she was carrying too much 'blood debt'. It was only at that time that Lu Xiang'er understood why Chaoxia was unwilling to be Lu Erniang's daughter-in-law, because she was afraid that when she got retribution for too much blood debt, the retribution would go to the head of the Lu family.

Thinking of Chaoxia experiencing that kind of thing at such a young age, Lu Xianger often sighed secretly and felt pity for this sister who should be a beautiful woman. Chaoxia told Lu Xiang'er this, originally with the intention of not wanting to deceive, and she was also prepared to be alienated by Lu Xiang'er. Unexpectedly, Lu Xianger became closer and closer to her. This is also the reason why Chaoxia saw that Lu Xiang'er was worried about Xiao Tao, but she didn't know what to do, so she was ready to make a move.

In the morning, Chaoxia took the initiative to find Yayu, but she had already thought about it. She had already instructed the tooth to not sell Xiao Tao to someone else's house first, she still wanted to buy it back, and she could pay twice as much. Therefore, Chaoxia is not worried that during this day, Xiao Tao will be taken away by others.

After dark, Asaka was ready to go out. However, after thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to tell Lu Xiang'er to save her from continuing to worry. Of course, even if she doesn't tell Lu Xiang'er now, she will know sooner or later.

Lu Xiang'er was very clear about Chaoxia's meaning, but for herself and the Lu family, she had no reason to refuse. Whether in her previous life or in this life, Lu Xianger has always been an ordinary person. Although she had heard of 'dark' things, Lu Xiang'er had never 'touched' bloody things. Therefore, Chaoxia's proposal made Lu Xianger very embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

When Chaoxia saw Lu Xiang'er's expression, she understood that her heart must be uneasy, so she said again: "Xiang'er, I have already said that from the day I entered the Lu family, I will not let my hands stick to blood." So, you don't have to worry that I'm going to take Momo's life. ”

"Then, Sister Chaoxia, you, what are you going to do with Xiao Tao?" Lu Xiang'er heard that Xiao Tao would not die because of herself, and her heart was a little relieved. But when he found Chaoxia's faint and cold expression, he immediately remembered that Chaoxia had said how King Chen tortured his prisoners, and his heart was raised again.

"Xiang'er, do you really want to know?" Chaoxia asked rhetorically, but saw that Lu Xiang'er was a little panicked, so she didn't plan to be scared again. Looking at Lu Xiang'er's eyes, Chaoxia said very solemnly and softly: "Xiang'er, it's good to hand over the little peach to me, you don't have to worry about it anymore." I won't do anything cruel unless I have to. ”

As soon as Lu Xiang'er heard 'last resort', her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say. But Chaoxia didn't wait, she smiled at Lu Xiang'er, and then left Lu Xiang'er's room, left Lu's house, and disappeared into the night.

From the moment Chaoxia left the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er was a little restless. In her heart, she repeatedly guessed how Chaoxia would treat Xiao Tao. To tell the truth, Lu Xianger has lived for two lifetimes, and she really hasn't done anything to hurt others. Even when she saw the intrigue of her colleagues at work, she never participated in it and hid far away. Even if she couldn't hide, Lu Xianger never did anything too ruthless. Now that such a thing has happened, how can Lu Xianger's heart be stable.

Therefore, Chaoxia didn't come back one night, and Lu Xiang'er didn't close her eyes one night. When it was dawn, hearing the sound of Zao'er getting up and walking out of the room, Lu Xiang'er couldn't lie down and hurriedly got up. She was afraid that Lu Erniang would find out that Chaoxia was not at home and ask, so she had to think of a reason.

Sure enough, Zao'er made breakfast, and Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er didn't find Chaoxia when they were preparing to eat, so they asked Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, why don't you see Chaoxia?" ”

"Sister Chaoxia, she's out." Lu Xiang'er lowered her head and drank the porridge slowly, but she was thinking about how to answer Lu Erniang's question.

Lu Erniang didn't know that Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er's little 'secret', and asked indifferently: "Did Chaoxia say what to do?" She had never been out so early before. ”

"Sister Chaoxia, she ......"

"I'll go to East Street to buy your favorite bean curd for my aunt." As soon as Lu Xiang'er wanted to say the reason for making up, Chaoxia walked into the house, carrying a large bamboo tube in her hand.

Lu Xiang'er heard Chaoxia's voice, and hurriedly put down the bowl and looked sideways. I saw that Chaoxia was still the same skirt last night, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see anything wrong. It wasn't until Chaoxia raised the bamboo tube in her hand to Lu Erniang that she glanced at Lu Xiang'er. The slight nod made Lu Xiang'er finally breathe a long sigh, and her whole body was much more relaxed.

Lu Erniang asked Zao'er to bring the empty bowl again, and did not see Chaoxia's actions. And when Lu Erniang turned her head, Chaoxia was already sitting opposite her. Lu Erniang smiled and said, "Chaoxia, why did you think of buying me bean curd so early?" ”

"Didn't I see that my aunt was in a bad mood recently, and I wanted to make my aunt happy." Chaoxia took the bowl in Zao'er's hand and poured out three bowls of bean curd. The rest was just enough for a bowl, so I gave it to the dates.

Seeing this, Lu Erniang asked Zao'er to go down to eat, so there was no need to stand here. Zao'er saw that a few people treated her as before, and she didn't change at all, and she slowly relaxed her heart. Walking towards the kitchen, Zao'er sighed in her heart that Xiao Tao really didn't know what to think, such a good host, but she still did that kind of thing.

In the main room, Lu Erniang was in a good mood coaxed by Chaoxia's bowl of bean curd, and a smile appeared on her face. Seeing that Lu Erniang finally had a good meal, Lu Xiang'er also forgot about Xiao Tao for the time being, and coaxed Lu Erniang to be happy wholeheartedly.

Because of the lack of small peaches, there were not enough people to distill soju, so Lu Xiang'er started a day's wine-making work with Zao'er as soon as she finished eating. Chaoxia is a newcomer, and she doesn't know anything for the time being, so she can only do some errands such as getting firewood, and Lu Xiang'er doesn't have time to ask about Xiao Tao.

It wasn't until the evening that the stove in the small wine shop went out, and Lu Xianger finished the day's work. After dinner, Lu Erniang took Zao'er to sew summer clothes, and Lu Xiang'er came to Chaoxia's side. Chaoxia knew Lu Xiang'er's intention to come over, and without waiting for her to ask, she said, "Xiao Tao is very good, you don't have to worry." In a few days, I'll go with you to see her, believing that is the best ending for her. ”

"Thank you, Sister Chaoxia, for your trouble." Lu Xiang'er nodded lightly, and sat aside in a daze. But Chaoxia looked up at her at this time, and sighed slightly in her heart: I hope that after you see Xiao Tao, don't blame me. Only then will she not be taken advantage of.

Lu Xiang'er didn't know what Chaoxia did to Xiao Tao, but she always wanted to see her with her own eyes and really calm her heart. Therefore, Lu Xianger thought in her heart, looking forward to when Chaoxia would take it to see what kind of life Xiao Tao was living now.

Maybe Chaoxia was always distracted when she found out that Lu Xiang'er was making wine, or maybe Lu Hong was about to come back, and Chaoxia suddenly decided to take Lu Xiang'er to see Xiao Tao. Of course, Lu Xiang'er was very happy, and deliberately stopped the work of the small wine shop for a day, saying that it was to let Zao'er have a good rest. Then, Lu Xianger found another excuse of 'wanting to go shopping', and went out with Chaoxia with Lu Erniang's consent.

Later, under the leadership of Chaoxia, Lu Xianger and her came to a remote mountain village. Chaoxia took Lu Xiang'er and did not enter the small mountain village, but took her up to the mountain where the small village leaned. After following Chaoxia for a quarter of an hour, she stopped. So, under the guidance of Lu Xiang'er, she saw a family.

The family's yard is small and simple. Judging from the hides drying in the yard, the owner of this household should be a hunter who makes a living from hunting. Just when Lu Xiang'er wanted to ask why she couldn't see Xiao Tao, a burly and ordinary-looking young man walked in Orion's house.

When the young man had walked out, a short man followed him. Lu Xiang'er took a closer look, and the person who was not tall was Xiao Tao. The two seemed to be packing up the dried hides, and they seemed to get along very well. Lu Xiang'er was thinking about asking Chaoxia about how Xiao Tao would not be found here, but she suddenly found something, and her whole body immediately stiffened.

Chaoxia may have sensed Lu Xiang'er's actions, so she said softly: "Xiao Tao is illiterate, as long as she can't say anything, no one can do anything about her." That Orion was a ranger that my stepfather had dated before, and he was a very good person. He didn't want to be a ranger anymore, so he lived in seclusion in this small mountain village to hunt for a living. For he was not good at words, and was too tall to take a wife at the age of twenty-five. Therefore, Xiao Tao was handed over to him to take care of. Moreover, I also explained to him that if Xiao Tao didn't want to marry him, he couldn't force him to marry. ”

"Except for Xiao Tao who can't speak, I think this is the best ending for her." Chaoxia glanced at Lu Xiang'er and didn't say anything. But Lu Xiang'er was standing there, looking straight at Orion's yard. It wasn't until an hour later that Lu Xiang'er turned around and left.
