Chapter 16: Breaking the Siege
Ye Xiaoying was anxious, and shook Li Tiezhu's arm behind her: "He's lying, I don't know him, he suddenly called me a lady and took advantage of me!" ”
With a loud roar, Li Tiezhu's chest rose and fell, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the brocade-robed man. Everyone was originally a man in a brocade robe, but suddenly saw Li Tiezhu ruthless, all of them were wise to protect themselves, and they were so frightened that they scattered and watched from afar, and they didn't dare to step forward.
"You dare to bully my lady!"
He picked up his fist and was about to swing it down, but the brocade-robed man hurriedly stretched out his hand and immediately begged for mercy: "No, I was dazzled and mistaken, she is not my lady." ”
Ye Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, this person was too cowardly, but no matter who it was, seeing his calloused hands, as well as his broad chest and powerful arms, I was afraid that no one would dare to provoke.
It's finally safe!
Ye Xiaoying gasped, and the whole person sat on the ground weakly, the bag in her hand slipped down, and she immediately heard the sound of chirping, she curiously untied the mouth, it was actually three chickens, which were packed in a cloth bag by him, but fortunately they were all alive.
She raised her head, and it happened that Li Tiezhu was also looking at her, as if she was going to put down the brocade-robed man's body that was shaking like chaff, but without being wary, the fist still smashed down.
"You will admit your mistakes as a big living person, you really deserve it! Look at you scared my lady and couldn't stand up, this fist makes you remember, you are not allowed to bully my lady in the future! ”
This fist hit the brocade-robed man's eyes with golden light, and there was a burst of fishy sweetness in his mouth. He didn't dare to fight back, and he didn't dare to talk back, he just kept nodding.
Li Tiezhu let go of his hand and turned around to help Ye Xiaoying up: "Lady, are you okay?" ”
"Okay." I don't know whether it was joy or sadness, Ye Xiaoying's tears flowed down instantly, and she felt aggrieved.
Li Tiezhu carefully took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped it for Ye Xiaoying, he felt that his palms were rough lustfully, and tried to avoid touching her face with his fingers.
"Okay, it's okay, take a look!" He pointed to the back of the brocade-robed man in front of him who fled in the wilderness, "The bad guys have all been beaten away by me, let's go, let's go home!" ”
Then he bent down excitedly and carefully lifted the cloth bag, "Look at what this is." ”
"Chicken." Ye Xiaoying looked at the chick so cute, and couldn't help it.
Seeing Ye Xiaoying smiling, Li Tiezhu was also childish at this time: "What the stall owner said is right, he didn't lie to me, if you raise this little chicken, our family will get better and better." ”
Just these few chickens, can you still expect to make a fortune? Ye Xiaoying stretched out her hand to stroke the fluffy body of the chicken, and then asked him, "Then you have spent a lot of silver." ”
"Not much, not much, only two times." Feelings for a basket of money in exchange for these chickens, no wonder the stall owner will give a few extra words of auspiciousness.
Ye Xiaoying's face twitched a little, but she didn't speak.
Passing by a restaurant, the aroma of food wafting from it makes people can't help but take a sharp breath, it is the fragrance of fried fish, and the smell of fragrant garlic goes straight to the nostrils.
Yes, there is a river around their village, and you can catch some fish to improve your diet.
Thinking of eating, she suddenly thought that Li Tiezhu hadn't eaten yet, Ye Xiaoying licked her lips.
Li Tiezhu saw that she glanced at the restaurant twice at this time, so he said cautiously: "Lady, I will hunt more in the future, and I will bring you here when I earn money." ”
In modern times, she has already eaten all the food, isn't it just a fish, it is not very attractive to her, she is just a little sad.
Li Tiezhu relieved her, but he had an empty stomach, and he couldn't afford to invite him to eat in the restaurant. Ye Xiaoying frowned, walked to a cake stall in the front corner, bought two flatbreads, and then stuffed them into Li Tiezhu's hands.
"Eat!" The flatbread is also covered with oily meat.
Li Tiezhu seemed to find that Ye Xiaoying seemed to be preoccupied at this time, he didn't say much, and swallowed it in a big gulp along Ye Xiaoying's mind, and Ye Xiaoying's mood improved.
Then I asked Li Tiezhu, where did he go before?
"After you left, I sold the basket and cleaned up the bamboo shoots, I wanted to find you, but I heard someone say that things are cheap in the cloth village, and I wanted to buy you a piece of cloth."
Sure enough, it was the same as she guessed, but why did it become a chicken? Ye Xiaoying was curious.
Seeing the question, Li Tiezhu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I have never bought cloth, and I am lost." I just saw someone selling chickens, and I thought you needed it anyway, so I bought it. ”
Ye Xiaoying thought about it, she had never told him that she wanted to raise chickens, how did he know?
"How do you know?"
At this time, Li Tiezhu just lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak. This made Ye Xiaoying inexplicable, and kept asking, forcing Li Tiezhu to speak: "It was the lady who said it in a dream." ”
It turned out to be talking in a dream, and I didn't know if I had said anything else, Ye Xiaoying immediately shut up. The two of them walked together in silence, only the chick in the bag in their arms was still clucking and laughing.
By the time they had bought what they needed, driven the ox carts, and creaked back to the village, it was already past noon.
In the afternoon, the countryside was exceptionally quiet, and many people gathered together to chat with each other.
Seeing the two returning, the peasant women holding the soles of their shoes on the side shouted at Li Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, your family of three is back." ”
"My wife and I are back!" Li Tiezhu replied excitedly.
But Ye Xiaoying's face changed suddenly, looking at the woman with a smile, squinting at her belly, and at the same time, attracting many people to glance at her stomach.
Ye Xiaoying grimaced and turned to look at the green bamboo forest below the mountain. It was a three-way intersection, and many people were gathered in the courtyard in front of a farmhouse basking in the sun and chatting.
Li Tiezhu was about to return the ox cart, but Da Xiong's house was still some distance away, so he stopped the cart first and carefully helped Ye Xiaoying get out of the car.
As if holding a porcelain, he kept saying slow down, slow down, don't fall like that. With the hot eyes around her, although Ye Xiaoying was uncomfortable, she still held her head high.
"The iron pillar really hurts the lady."
"Of course it hurts, otherwise the one in the stomach bumps and bumps, and he can't be a father, hahahaha!"
They burst out laughing uncontrollably.
At this time, Li Tiezhu also heard their teasing, and his face was pale, but he knew that good men didn't fight with women, so he drove the ox cart away with a black face.
According to his usual temperament, he will definitely tell her, it seems that Li Tiezhu is angry! It was all troubled by the man in the brocade robe, and she forgot to talk about not being pregnant.
