Chapter 18 The cabin in the back mountain
She didn't expect this opportunity, and she was thinking about whether to find a cave to survive for the night, so she hurriedly pulled Chu Xiaosu and ran over.
The two knocked on the door, and when they were sure that no one was there, they gently pushed the door open, and the creak of the wooden door seeped through the night.
"Sister, why does this place seem to be deserted for a long time, but there is no ash?" At this time, Chu Xiaoxu noticed that something was wrong.
Chu Xiaoliu stretched out his hand and touched the old wooden table, which was indeed spotless.
"I guess the owner of this house has just arrived. We'll stay here tonight and figure it out tomorrow. She paused and turned her head to look at Chu Xiaoxu, "How many do we have left?" I wanted to go to the town and find a mason to help us stay in a hut in the back mountains. ”
Chu Xiaoxu hurriedly took out a deflated small brocade bag from her arms and put it in her hand, although she didn't look at it, she said accurately: "Except for the money used to buy things, we still have eight taels and eight hundred and twenty-one wen left, but sister, you still have to buy medicine a few times, and it is estimated that there will only be about one or two left." ”
"That's all there is left." Chu Xiaoliu swept the things in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Now that she and Xiaoxu go out like this, they must have a place to stay, but to find a mason repair hut in the town, it will cost at least twenty taels, not to mention the better ones, plus furniture or something, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money.
It's just the money...... How to get there.
After thinking about it for a moment, a plan gradually came to her mind.
After going through the plan in her mind and finding that there was no problem, Chu Xiaoliu settled down, raised her hand and stretched her waist, she grabbed Chu Xiaoxu with a sad face, and led her to the somewhat simple bed board, ready to spend the night first.
But she only took two steps before she was stopped by Chu Xiaoxu, and a worried voice sounded in her ears: "Sister, I can't sleep with things in my heart." ”
"Is it because you're worried about the money, or is it because of something else?" Chu Xiaoliu sighed in his heart and looked at Chu Xiaoxu and said.
Chu Xiaoxu hesitated for a moment, and snorted: "I don't know, I just feel that I am always uneasy in my heart, we have a bit of a rebellious feeling of betraying the house like this, and the rumor about my sister and Boss Tian, I don't know what the people in the village will say, and ......."
"Xiao Su, my sister will ask you, are you reluctant to those people of the Chu family?" Just when Chu Xiaoxu's voice was a little excited, Chu Xiaoliu held her shoulders and said seriously.
"Of course not! In the past ten years, we are all outsiders. Chu Xiaoxu hurriedly proved his innocence.
Chu Xiaoliu nodded: "Since that's the case, don't think about it so much, the mouth grows on people, and we can't control it, just don't rest assured about what they say." As for moving out of the house, although we don't have a man to support the door, but this world is not against women in business, don't you think we exchanged a jar of honey for ten taels of silver today? Believe it or not, our days will get better and better in the future. ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxu, who had always been a little ownerless, finally calmed down.
After a long time, she spoke, "Sister, I understand. ”
With a satisfied smile in her eyes, Chu Xiaoliu stroked her hair and said softly, "It's okay to understand, let's go and rest." ”
Chu Xiaoxu nodded obediently.
After getting into bed, Chu Xiaoliu sighed secretly. Although Chu Xiaoxu's performance tonight was different from the past, she was a native of ancient times after all, and she had always been submissive. Some family concepts are even more deep-rooted, and she has never only felt that she is a subsidiary of the family, but now she is suddenly separated from the family, she should also be afraid.
But looking at Xiao Su's reaction today, her receptivity is still quite strong, at least it won't add any additional difficulties to her.
The night was already late, and the two of them had encountered many things after a busy day, which was quite exhausting. So not long after going to bed, the two sisters' breathing gradually stabilized.
The next morning, it was Chu Xiaoliu who woke up first.
She glanced at Chu Xiaoxu, who was still asleep, and got out of bed lightly.
As soon as you go out, the fresh air is instantly blowing in your face. Suddenly, Chu Xiaoliu felt that the pores all over her body seemed to be opened, and she narrowed her eyes like a cat, with a little comfort. The golden morning light seems to be splashed out, sprinkled all over the sky, and the green trees and green vines are full of vitality, which makes people feel better when they look at it.
Suddenly, a discordant voice cut straight in.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck."
Chu Xiaoliu turned his head to look at the voice, only to see a few colorful wild roosters standing on the roof, courting a gray wild hen.
