Chapter 40: Sincere Refuge
Sun Xiu was stunned, she was a little embarrassed when she was poked in her heart, but in this situation, she didn't know whether to admit it or pretend to be stupid and fool around.
Seeing that he was right, Li Xin snorted coldly, raised his feet and left.
She won't be stupid to be a sword messenger for others, even if she really wants to report back to Xiaoman, Li Xin would rather do it alone, and the less one person knows, the less trouble.
What's more, it is a person from another village like Sun Xiu, her parents will not be afraid of Li Shu, the head of the village, then Sun Xiu will naturally not be afraid of herself, such a person who can't be controlled at all, Li Xin will not use it.
"Sister Li Xin!" Sun Xiu hurriedly chased after him and explained: "Sister, I don't want to take advantage of you, I just think that you and I don't like Su Xiaoman and want to be your companion." ”
Li Xin continued to snort coldly and did not speak.
Sun Xiu was anxious, "Sister Li Xin, I really want to be your companion, Su Xiaoman has harmed your man like that, don't you want to take revenge on her?" You are also the daughter of the village chief, are you really willing to let Su Xiaoman, the broom star, bully? ”
After saying this long paragraph, Sun Xiu was out of breath, but Li Xin still had no intention of stopping.
"Sister Li Xin!" Sun Xiu stood in place and shouted: "If you don't believe me, then I will naturally prove it to you, I sincerely want to take refuge in you!" ”
Li Xin, who only left a back for Sun Xiu, secretly clenched his hand holding his sleeve, hooked the corners of his lips, and thought proudly: Even if Sun Xiu really had an accident, it had nothing to do with him. But if Sun Xiu really turned over the tricks, then he could cooperate with her logically.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether Sun Xiu succeeds or fails. I have nothing to lose.
The more Li Xin thought about it, the more she felt that she was extremely smart, so much so that at the dinner table after returning home, there was still some excitement on her face that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Li Shu couldn't help asking: "What happy event has Xinxin encountered, why don't you say it and make us happy?" ”
In front of Liu Zhicheng, Li Xin naturally wouldn't mention anything related to Su Xiaoman, so he just smiled, "It's nothing, Dad, don't make fun of me." ”
As he spoke, Li Xin picked out the meat from the plate and sandwiched it into Liu Zhicheng's bowl, "Brother Zhicheng, you eat." ”
"Thank you, you can eat too, leave me alone." Liu Zhicheng smiled very reluctantly, and his face was stiff and alienated that could not be concealed.
In this home, he always felt like an outsider who suddenly broke in, Li Shu's attitude has always been light and cold, and although Li Xin cared for him, this kind of care made him very depressed.
"Zhicheng, I heard that your mother has been sick recently, is there such a thing?" Li Shu asked suddenly.
Liu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "It's nothing important, it's just a cold wind, and it will be fine in two days." ”
Mother lives at home alone, although he is worried, but he can't help much, he can take advantage of his leisure time to take a look twice, but now his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he hasn't been home for a long time.
"I still have to go home and have a look when I have time, and those people outside the province are gossiping again." Li Shu said casually.
After speaking, before Liu Zhicheng could respond, Li Xin snorted impatiently, "Look at what that evil woman is doing, Brother Zhicheng has said it, it's just the wind and cold." ”
Li Shu put down his chopsticks and was displeased: "Li Xin, how can you speak, she is also Zhicheng's mother, you ......"
"Daddy!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Liu Zhicheng hurriedly held Li Xin's hand and persuaded with a wry smile: "Li Xin is right, it's just the wind and cold, it's not in the way." ”
"Did you hear that, Dad, you're making a big fuss." Li Xin smiled proudly.
Li Shu didn't respond, but glanced at Liu Zhicheng, his eyes were very complicated, and then he said in a low voice: "Okay, let's eat." Li Xin, you come out, I have something to tell you. ”
The two left, and Liu Zhicheng was the only one left in the house, he looked at the food on the table, his heart was bitter, and he didn't have the heart to continue eating.
In another room, Li Xin sat down casually, "Dad, what are you looking for me for, I haven't finished my meal yet." ”
Li Shu poked her forehead with hatred, "You! Sooner or later, you'll have to me off! ”
After speaking, Li Shu carefully analyzed the matter of Fang Cai to Li Xinzai.
At the dinner table just now, Liu Zhicheng was obviously unhappy, but Li Xin still called her a "wicked mother-in-law", she really didn't have any brains, no wonder Liu Zhicheng had always been lukewarm to her.
"Huh?" Li Xin realized it later, "I thought Brother Zhicheng said-"
Li Shu was so angry that he walked around the house, "Say anything, no matter what he says about his mother, you can't interject!" Got it? ”
Li Xin nodded stupidly, "Got it." ”
is obviously a very smart girl, but as soon as it comes to Liu Zhicheng, Li Xin is like making a mistake, even if she can't tell the difference between right and wrong, she won't even say a nice word now.
But there is no way, who let Li Xin be his Li Shu's daughter, when you can remind it, you should remind it.
Li Shu sighed, "Okay, you should pay attention in the future, please Liu Zhicheng, so that you can conceive another child as soon as possible." ”
"Got it, Dad!" Li Xin responded with a smile.
"By the way," Li Xin suddenly remembered something, "What happened to the last time you went to the county Cheng's house, why haven't you moved for so long, did he accept our things and not do things for us?" ”
Before, the family took an ox cart to the county, saying that they were going to show Liu Zhicheng's legs, but in fact this was just a pretense, in order to deceive Liu Zhicheng and the people in the village.
Li Xin took Liu Zhicheng to the hospital to see a doctor, but Li Shu went to the county Cheng's house at that time, sent a lot of money and local products, and wanted to ask the county to find a reason to take Su Xiaoman away.
Even if Su Xiaoman can't be allowed to sit in a prison cell for the rest of his life, he can make her suffer and let her know who can't be offended. At that time, the county didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, although he accepted the things, he never gave a reply.
Thinking of this, Li Shu smashed his mouth, shook his head and frowned: "It's hard to say, maybe it's because the county master has a lot of things, and he is busy and forgets about us." ”
There are so many people who ask the county to do things every day, and it is possible to forget it.
"Huh?! So what to do, give away so many things for nothing! Li Xin exclaimed in a low voice.
Li Shu thought to himself for a while, "Don't worry, when the snow stops in a few days, I'll go and take a look when the road is good and ask what's going on." ”
It stands to reason that the county is a little related to his family, and he has given so many things, no matter what, he will not refuse himself, maybe he forgot.
"Okay, then you be careful not to be seen by the people in the village, someone from the province sent a message to Su Xiaoman, so that she knew in advance that she had escaped."
"That's natural, you should be careful, don't tell Liu Zhicheng about this."
"Got it."
The heavy snow outside the window gradually stopped, but the weather was still gloomy and terrible, as if another bigger blizzard was about to happen at any moment.
At the same time, in the hut halfway up the mountainside, Su Xiaoman looked out of the house worriedly-the gloomy sky, and muttered to himself: "There will definitely be heavy snow later, it seems that I can't go out again for a few days." ”
"It's good to stay at home on such a cold day." Lu Li entered the door and shook off the snow on his body, and said while baking the fire.
Su Xiaoman nodded absentmindedly, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
There is still a lot of food in store at home, especially with the wild boar that was just killed a few days ago, these vegetables and meat are enough to withstand the beginning of spring, but when she went to her mother's house today, she found that her mother's stock of food did not seem to be running out.
She has to find time to send some money to Su Qi, as well as meat, by the way, and the two clothes she made for Su Qi, she also has to rush to work as soon as possible, so that they can be sent over together.
"What do you think?" Lu Li stepped forward, covered Xiao Man's cheeks with his hot hands, and kneaded them gently.
Xiao Man was startled by the hot hands that suddenly appeared on her face, and she rushed back as if she was frightened, but in the eyes of the man, it seemed as if she was in a hurry to drill into her arms.
Lu Li couldn't help laughing a few times, "What are you thinking, so distracted, you didn't even notice that I was standing behind you." ”
Xiao pouted angrily, and said, "You can't make a sound when you walk, how can I hear it." ”
Lu Li's skills are extraordinary, coupled with perennial hunting, walking lightly has become a habit, Xiaoman has no martial arts, plus he just wanted to think about things, and it was normal not to hear it.
"Don't make a fuss, my dad and you're not done with their clothes yet, I have to hurry up while I'm free." As he spoke, Xiao Man broke away from the man's arms and ran to the cabinet with a red face.
Seeing this, Lu Li didn't bother her, he went to the firewood room and took a few sweet potatoes and threw them in the charcoal basin, and then quietly watched Xiaoman do embroidery work on the side.
The clothes were only a few stitches away, and Xiaoman was ready after a while, she lowered her head and bit off the thread, then turned the clothes over and patted them, got up and greeted Lu Li, "Try it first, I'll change it if there is something inappropriate." ”
Lu Li obediently responded, put on his padded jacket, and then leaned over, "You help me." ”
Xiao Man bit his lip and glared at him, but he still obediently stepped forward to help Lu Li tie the button.
The man was born much taller than her, and the buttons below were easy to say, but if it reached the neckline, even if Lu Li leaned over and Xiaoman held his feet, it was still a little difficult.
She was disgusted: "What are you doing when you're so tall, I can't even touch the button!" ”
"Shall I go a little lower?" As he spoke, Lu Li bent down again, looking at Xiao Man's eyes full of doting and gentleness.
After buttoning up, Xiao Man looked around in a circle again, tidied up the corners and cuffs of her clothes from time to time, and looked at Lu Li, who was dressed properly, she couldn't help but smile with her lips.
Obviously the most common style, but it was forced to be worn by a man with a lofty momentum, Lu Li turned around and asked, "Lady, what do you think?" ”
"I think it's good," Xiao Man paused, and then changed his words: "I mean clothes, don't think about it." ”
In the slightly dim bedroom, the man violently picked up the woman, "I've thought about it too much, what should I do?" ”
