Chapter 5 Inquiry
Su Xiaoman put on his clothes and got out of bed, and when he opened the door, he felt that something was wrong.
Where is the shadow of Lu Li on the plank bed in the outhouse?
By the moonlight, Su Xiaoman went to look at the deadbolt, and sure enough, it was opened.
It's almost ugly, what's the matter with Lu Li?
Thinking that this was on the mountain, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but look at the woods outside the house that were shrouded in night.
I heard that many birds of prey come out at night, so nothing will happen to Lu Li, right?
Thinking like this, Su Xiaoman's only little sleepiness was swept away, and he was replaced by worry about men.
Lu Li came back on the fifth watch, when the sky was already bright, and when he entered the door, he was startled by Su Xiaoman, who was sitting on the pony.
"Why don't you sleep in the house?"
Finally waited for Lu Li to come back safely, Su Xiaoman's heart was also relaxed, he rubbed his sore eyes, and he was embarrassed to say that he was worried about him, so he said: "The thunder is too loud at night, and I can't sleep a little after waking up......
Lu Li's eyes crossed a trace of disapproval, "Your body is already weak, it's too cold at night, even if you can't sleep, you should lie on the bed, what if you get cold?" ”
He had a straight face, and his tone was quite serious, which made Su Xiaoman a little embarrassed, and his cheeks turned red a little.
“…… No, I wear a lot of ......" Her voice was small, and Lu Li didn't hear Daqing.
"What?" Lu Li approached Su Xiaoman.
"It's nothing...... Su Xiaoman hurriedly waved his hand, and thought that Lu Li was going out so late, so he asked, "Are you going to the mountains?"
"Well," Lu Li responded, "I'll be back in two days, I'll go to the mountains to hunt some prey, just in time to send it to my father-in-law." ”
As he spoke, he took off his shoes and walked barefoot to the tank to scoop water.
Su Xiaoman found that the man's body was full of mud, thinking that the man went up the mountain for his return gift, Su Xiaoman bit his lip, "Actually, you don't have to go back, they don't want me anyway." ”
Hearing this, Lu Li stopped the movement in his hand and looked up at Su Xiaoman.
"No," Lu Wei sighed slightly, "Even if the relationship has been severed, if you don't return to the door after three days, there will be so many gossips in the village that you will drown." ”
"They will accuse you of being unfilial, and they will point fingers at you wherever you go," Lu Li paused, "You have married me and become my wife, and I don't want this to happen to you." ”
Su Xiaoman only felt that his nose was sour, and his eyes were hot.
She should be content to marry such a man who cares about herself and thinks about herself.
"Actually, I've always wanted to know......" Su Xiaoman settled down, and looked at Lu Li with doubts in his eyes, "Why are you willing to marry me?" ”
The predicament of that day is still vivid, if it weren't for Lu Li, she would be dead now.
In that case, why would Lu Li, a stranger, stand up and relieve himself? Su Xiaoman didn't remember if they had seen it before.
"Your mother helped me before," Lu Li's tone was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak, "This was a long time ago, and I can tell you when I have time in the future." ”
Su Xiaoman didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between Lu Li and her mother, a little surprised, and a little unspeakably disappointed.
"If you had changed to another woman that day, would you marry her too?"
A sentence popped out of his mouth without thinking, which made Su Xiaoman startled.
Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman in surprise, which also made Su Xiaoman feel at a loss.
What to do, why would she say such a thing? Will Lu Li think she is very vexatious?
Just as she was about to run back into the house and hide, she heard the man's deep and pleasant voice say:
"Of course not,"
"I like your personality very much and look forward to being a family with you."
Su Xiaoman's face turned red, and he rushed into the house in a panic and plunged into the quilt.
Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman's back as he left in a panic, and the corners of his lips showed a smile.
Lu Li looked at the closed door, and a trace of helplessness crossed his eyes.
"Xiaoman, it's time to come out for dinner."
After a while, Lu Li heard the sound of Suosuo's clothes rubbing in the room, followed by a few hesitant footsteps, and finally, the closed door was finally opened little by little.
Su Xiaoman poked his head out and just hit Lu Li's smiling eyes.
"Alright, come and eat."
Lu Li was afraid that Su Xiaoman would escape back into the house again and not come out, so he looked away first, but even so, Su Xiaoman still lowered his head and moved to the table step by step.
Lu Li sent the bowl to her, and said, "Drink it while it's hot," he stuffed the bowl into Su Xiaoman's hand, and then said, "Put it aside after eating, and wait for me to clean it up." ”
"No...... I'll clean it up, I'm used to it......" Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li boldly.
Lu Li didn't give her a chance to speak, and after drinking all the porridge in the bowl, Lu Li stood up and took out a maroon cloth from the cabinet on the side.
"The weather has been bad recently, and I can't take you down the mountain to buy clothes, you can sew a few clothes with this cloth first, or you can only wear mine."
In the end, Su Xiaoman still couldn't wash the dishes, and sat at the head of the bed with a cloth and sewing kit to make clothes.
This piece of cloth is quite big, and there is still a lot left after making her clothes, which should be enough for her to make a dress for Lu Li.
Su Xiaoman measured the cloth with his hands, and had a plan in his heart.
Su Xiaoman's needlework was learned from an old man in the village, and I heard that the old man was still a palace maid in the palace in the old days, because Su Xiaoman had a good talent, so he taught Su Xiaoman a lot of exquisite and ingenious embroidery methods.
But now Su Xiaoman doesn't have to pursue the beauty of the clothes, as long as the clothes are fit and durable, so she chose the fastest embroidery method to produce the finished product.
When Lu Li dealt with the prey he brought back this morning, he was shocked by the speed at which Su Xiaoman sewed clothes as soon as he entered the house.
He thought that Su Xiaoman would have to spend at least two days to make a dress, and it happened that the weather was cold in the past two days, so she didn't have to come out.
"You're just in time, come over and let me measure it......" Su Xiaoman raised his head when he heard the movement, and his face was happy when he saw Lu Li.
The clothes she made for herself are already in the end, and now they are almost done, so they have to be measured quickly.
"You're going to make me clothes?" Lu Li was a little surprised.
"That's right," Su Xiaoman nodded, and added a little embarrassedly: "But I can't do complex styles, I can only make some ordinary ones, don't dislike ......"
Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman and smiled: "No, I will like it very much."
There are new clothes to wear, or the daughter-in-law makes them for herself, and it is too late to rejoice, where will she dislike it.
