"Zhao Yuanji, you really don't remember me?"

Xu Erniang retreated to the courtyard, looked at the thin figure holding a broom, her eyes full of panic and fierceness, and asked in a deep voice.

The man clutched the broomstick tightly and looked at her with only wariness in his gaze.

Somehow, Xu Erniang suddenly laughed.

The smile was bitter and helpless.

She thought to herself, maybe this was his fate.

It's better than being sober and happy.

And Xu Dalang will leave people here for her, Xu Erniang said in her heart that it was fake not to be moved.

This brother has always liked to work against her, and it is rare for him to be so humane and do such considerate things.

However, Xu Erniang knew in her heart that Xu Dalang knew that Zhao Yuanji was still alive and fine, if Xu Da knew, then Zhao Yuanji would really be finished.

Even if he has now become a delirious beggar.

Xu Erniang took a deep breath, looked at the thin man in front of her who was holding a broom and was full of fear, the hand hanging by her side raised slightly, and the white light flew out, hitting the man's forehead.

He glared in surprise, then fell behind him, unconscious.

"Alas~" Xu Erniang sighed, stepped forward helplessly, and carried this skinny man effortlessly.

Now this room is a temporary residence for her and Xu Dalang, and she has to deal with Zhao Yuanji before Xu Dalang comes back.

At the very least, he can't be in this room again.

Even Xu Erniang, who had just felt her brother's care, didn't dare to guarantee that Xu Dalang would tear him apart when he saw Zhao Yuanji again.

Where might it take people?

Xu Erniang didn't want to kill him, so naturally she couldn't throw people into the mountains casually in this cold season.

Zhao Yuanji, a beautiful waste, couldn't expect him to be able to run past those hungry beasts in the mountains after waking up.

At this time, the clock rang from a distance.

Xu Erniang's eyes lit up, you can go to church!

It is said that it is a church, but in fact it is just a makeshift stone house, and there are only five Shenzi, five twelve-year-old girls selected from the local aborigines after Xu Erniang arrived in Jiuquan County.

Liangzhou's production level is relatively backward, and it lives with other ethnic minorities all year round, and there are many mixed-race children in the local area.

Because of the prejudice of the times, these mixed-race children will be discriminated against by the locals, and some of them who have lost the protection of their parents will live a miserable life, and most of them will be sold into slavery.

After Zhuge Liang and others recovered the Hexi Corridor, in accordance with the rules of the Xu family, they abolished these prejudices and discrimination, and rescued more than 2,000 mixed-race children who had been reduced to slavery.

After Xu Erniang arrived, she selected a group of children, taught them personally, cultivated a group of gods, and built temples of light in various places to protect the rights and interests of vulnerable groups such as local women and children.

Unlike the extreme male superiority and inferiority of women in the Central Plains, Liangzhou is relatively backward in terms of productivity, and there is a serious shortage of labor.

Therefore, women here are more strong, although they still follow the patriarchal set of the Central Plains, but women speak at home and someone will listen carefully.

The various rules of the Xu Jiajun are more smoothly developed in the land of Liangzhou than in the Central Plains.

The five gods in the Temple of Light in Jiuquan County are all orphans, and these girls have experienced things that do not belong to their age early, and they are so mature and sensible that they are distressed.

In the days when Xu Erniang was not in the temple, they actually moved a lot of stones to build the broken wall on the west side of the church.

Not only were the walls repaired, but the church was cleaned and new benches were placed for the believers who came to pray for prayer.

These children, who had just turned twelve, were wearing old cotton clothes and pants that did not fit, and their hair was so knotted that they could not be combed at all, so they were all shaved and ready to regrow their hair.

It was cold, and each of them wore a felt hat poked out of wool felt, which was small at the top and large at the bottom, leaving a pointed point when worn.

Xu Erniang simply transformed it and made these felt hats into wide and wide witch hats.

The mixed-race girls have deep facial features, and after wearing this witch hat, Xu Erniang suddenly felt very harmonious.

These days, the people of Jiuquan County are working on wool, because it is the most suitable raw material for the cold winter that they can collect at present.

Xu Erniang taught them how to make clothes out of wool, and the wool that was once discarded by the herdsmen has now become a favorite of every family.

When Xu Erniang carried Zhao Yuanji into the church, the five girls were sitting around the brazier, holding a needle mallet in their hands, poking at the wool.

A skin painted with the totem of the god of light was hanging above their heads, trembling slightly by the cold wind that had leaked into the church.

As Xu Erniang walked in, the door of the church opened halfway, the wind and snow drifted in, and the five girls immediately looked up.

I thought it was a believer who had come to pray, but I didn't expect to see the goddess.

The five children, who regarded the goddess as their mother, immediately dropped the mallet in their hands and greeted them happily.

"Lady Goddess!"

"My lord, why are you here?"

"Are you cold, sir? Want to take a sip of hot water? ”

The girls enthusiastically surrounded Xu Erniang, looking at her with deep and beautiful eyes, and their hearts softened.

Xu Erniang patted the thin shoulders of the girl closest to her, "Are you all right?" ”

"Okay, goddess!" The girls replied in unison, all with a thick Liangzhou accent.

The children have just learned Mandarin for a long time, and Xu Erniang is very pleased to be able to speak to this level that can barely be understood.

"Find me an empty room." Xu Erniang commanded.

The girls immediately led her to the dormitory at the back of the hall.

This is a row of large bunks, and a fire kang is built, but because it is daytime, they are reluctant to waste firewood, so they do not light it.

The girl with a pair of light brown eyes pointed to the empty small kang bed on the side of the wall, and asked the goddess in confusion:

"Are you going to rest in the temple tonight?"

That expectant gaze, Xu Erniang couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded.

The girls cheered and hurried to open the old wooden box and find her new bedding.

Xu Erniang was busy with their work, came to the small kang bed, and put down the dirty group of people on her shoulders.

The girls were startled by the tattered fabric that covered their heads and scattered to reveal a sunken, emaciated pale face.

I didn't expect the goddess to carry a person back, they just thought it was a burlap bag full of grain, so small, they couldn't imagine that it was a person.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Yuanji has lost weight now.

In short, seeing his miserable appearance of having more air out and less air intake, Xu Erniang really couldn't bear to throw him in the snow.

Even if he wants to lose it, at least he will have to wait for him to recover for a while, and wait until next spring.
