As the sun faded into the land and the sky became dark, the families of the village were cooking their dinner for the evening, and smoke was rising from the chimneys of each house.

On weekdays, Betty never saw her father except in the early morning and evening, and he went out every morning after breakfast to tend to the fields, and usually he did not come home for lunch at noon, and there was no extra food for them.

The peasants did not rely on enough taxes to survive the year, and if last year's harvest was not good, then they would have to survive the year with limited food and clothing.

So her family, like most people in the village, only eat two meals a day, so that they can have more food left over every day.

Even her mother did household chores every day, cleaning the house and taking care of her younger brother.

As a result, teenage Betty is no longer a child in the eyes of her parents, and she needs to go up the mountain to collect food that can be eaten to give her own part for the family.

Betty wanted to keep this strange man in her home, firstly because he grew up very handsome, and the ignorant Betty had a very good impression of him at the beginning and really wanted to keep him at home.

The second reason is that Betty has long noticed the tattered clothes on this man's body, although this dress is full of holes, but Betty can still see the gilt thread embroidered on the clothes, and the only gold in the village is the ancestral bracelet of the village chief's grandfather!

Therefore, Betty decided that the mysterious man was a noble young master, or at least a businessman, so out of her petty thoughts, Betty forcibly kept him.

Betty suddenly notices the rags that had fallen on the ground, which had fallen from the man's torn clothes while carrying him.

Betty stroked the garment sewn with gold thread slightly, remembering how elegant and luxurious it would have been in perfect condition.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, the voices of mother and brother!

Betty hurriedly ran to the door, pulled the door open, and greeted loudly, "Mom, you're back!"

Soon there was a rough singing outside the door, and it just so happened that my father had also returned from the field!

Father and mother looked at Betty who stayed in front of the door with some confusion, she had never greeted them back so warmly, why did she stay at the door today and not leave so abnormally?

Betty also knew that her behavior was abnormal, so she had to bite the bullet and welcome her parents and her younger brother, who was already asleep, back.

The mother placed her sleeping brother on a chair in the hall and asked Betty in some surprise why she was so strange.

"Betty, what's wrong with you? Why are you so abnormal today? Is it because you didn't pick mushrooms today! Don't worry, I won't scold you. ”

It's just that the mother always noticed that Betty's eyes were always looking to the side lying next to her, and she was very familiar with her daughter, and she immediately felt if her daughter was hiding something important from them.

"Boss, your daughter is hiding the little animals she caught in the side bedroom again, you hurry up and throw them out, they are going to dirty my tidy house!"

My father, who had just put down the farm tools, came over touching his sore neck, but he said that he didn't care about it at all.

"Betty, is there anything wrong with her bringing some little animals home? I think it's good, my daughter is alone every day, and it is better to find her a docile playmate. ”

Seeing that her husband actually helped Betty speak, her mother suddenly felt angry, she stood in the hall with her waist crossed, and began to reason with her husband,

"And how many times did Betty bring back animals before, pooping and peeing, and ruining our house? Besides, do we have so much food to feed the animals? ”

The father, who was told by his wife about the sore spots, had to look like he couldn't be provoked, bent down and opened the door of the side bedroom directly.

Father and mother subconsciously looked over, but they were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened in disbelief and looked at the person on the bed without saying a word.

Finally, his father, who had a more tenacious personality, was the first to react, he trembled and pointed to the strange man lying on the bed, and stammered out the doubts in his heart,

"Who is this man? No, no, why is there a man sleeping in my house?"

The mother was also startled, she strode to the bed and looked at the man, and did not confirm his true identity for a long time.

"Difficult, is it a thief? I'm going to go to the village chief to raise the alarm and ask him to send someone to catch the thief!"

After that, the father and mother wanted to go out of the house and go to the village chief to catch the thief.

Betty, who saw that the matter was revealed, reached out to block her parents' way with a sad face, and whispered to them: "I brought this man back, I need time to explain the situation." ”

Betty then slowly tells the story of what happened, and her parents learn about the man's origins and how Betty and the villagers had brought him back.

"I see, Betty, you've thought so much about our family, and besides, our family is not going to die without help, so don't worry, we'll take good care of this injured man." ”

The mother, who was in charge of the house, listened to Betty's thoughts and agreed with Betty's idea of keeping the man at home.
