Ning Xi packed the fish and carefully sorted out his appearance, and then followed Tongzi's instructions to Xiao's house.

The Xiao family is a single family, there are no neighbors around, and the place where they live is relatively close to the mountain, but the house is well built and very spacious, which shows the intentions of the house repairers.

There was a large courtyard in front of the house, and the courtyard door was not closed at this time, and when Ning Xi got closer, he saw an old man sitting under an ancient tree next to the well to enjoy the coolness.

The old man was gray-haired, and his spirit was quite good.

Ning Xi knocked on the firewood, carried the basket in, and explained the cause and effect of the matter to Old Man Xiao.

Old man Xiao listened to the great joy, his adopted son has been tough since he was a child, and when he reached the weak crown, he didn't let the matchmaker introduce him to the girl, which really made him worry.

Unexpectedly, he saved such a sensible and well-behaved little girl this time, and he saw that there was a play, so he warmly entertained Ning Xi.

Ning Xi took out the boiled fish soup and brought it to Old Man Xiao, who drank the fish soup and sighed, "I can drink such delicious fish soup before I die, old man, I have no regrets." ”

Ning Xi hurriedly said, "Grandpa Xiao, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

At this moment, she noticed a tall figure appear outside the courtyard gate.

She looked up and saw Xiao Nanshan, who was carrying a bow and arrows and carrying prey, walking in from outside the courtyard.

He was tall, and he frowned when he saw Ning Xi at this time, giving people a feeling that he was not to be messed with.

No wonder he didn't get the marriageable age, and very few matchmakers dared to show him a girl.

Ning Xi stood up, his eyebrows crooked and he spoke, "Brother Xiao, you're back, it's just time to eat, you can wash your hands and come over." ”

Xiao Nanshan was stunned when he saw the food on the table.

Old Man Xiao beckoned to him, "The food cooked by Ning Yatou tastes good, you are stunned, come and eat." ”

"I'll go back to sleep after I've eaten, and you can eat slowly."

As he spoke, Old Man Xiao entered the house on crutches.

Ning Xi could sense that Old Man Xiao was creating a chance for them to be alone.

Xiao Nanshan washed his hands and sat down at the table, looked at the fried fish and fish soup in the bowl, raised his eyes and asked Ning Xi, "What do you want to do here?" ”

Ning Xi, "I said it, I came here to repay the favor." ”

"I'll take the food, the favor has been cleared, you go back, don't come again." After speaking, Xiao Nanshan lowered his head slightly and ate without saying a word.

When he finished eating, he found that the woman sitting opposite had not left.

Ning Xi understood his eyes and said, "Brother Xiao, don't be in a hurry to drive me away, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Xiao Nanshan looked at her thoughtfully, he felt that there was nothing to talk about between the two.

The women of the entire Xiahe Village would hide away when they saw him, as if he was some kind of flood beast, but the woman in front of him suddenly remembered that night, when she was by the river, her unscrupulous gaze fell on him.

She was so daring.

Ning Xi didn't avoid his gaze, but said calmly: "I came here this time to talk to Brother Xiao about cooperation." ”

"You may not know that I have been expelled from the Ning family, and now I live alone in a small house adjacent to Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village."

"After all, I am a woman, and I am afraid that the thieves will worry about it after a long time, so I want to find the protection of Brother Xiao."

Xiao Nanshan was silent, and it could be seen from the look on his face that he refused this matter.

Ning Xi didn't care about his current attitude at all, and only added methodically.

"I know it's going to be difficult, but the way to seek asylum is to marry you, which means you're going to have a decent wife."

"No, I don't." Xiao Nanshan refused without frowning, he had never heard of a girl from any family who was so bold that she would personally go to a man to make a private decision for life.

Ning Xi squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the house, and said in a low voice: "I just chatted with Grandpa Xiao, and I learned that his old man cares about your lifelong affairs very much, does Brother Xiao really not think about it?" ”

"These are all things you thought about before you came?" Xiao Nanshan did not answer the rhetorical question.

Ning Xi knew that her thoughts were hidden in his sharp eyes, but she still looked directly into his eyes and nodded.

"That's right, I want to live, even a better life, and before that, I have to make sure I'm safe, right? Although I broke away from the Ning family and got a share of the family property, how could those people in the Ning family let me go? They just waited for the opportunity to get back all the things they had sent out. ”

"I hate them, so the key to their poisonous plan is to get your help."

Xiao Nanshan, "You can go find other men." ”

Ning Xi frowned, "But I just think you're pleasing to the eye." ”

Xiao Nanshan frowned and was silent.

She was right, my grandfather had always wanted him to start a family.

I went to Renxintang to see a doctor a few years ago, and my grandfather is very old, so I am afraid that there are not many days left.

He was given this life by his grandfather.

Xiao Nanshan went through everything in his mind, and finally nodded.

"Yes."

Ning Xi laughed, "Okay, that's it, I'm sorry for you to get married." ”

"By the way, I now have a new name, which is Ning Xi."

Xiao Nanshan nodded and got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Ning Xi glanced at him and left with a small bamboo basket.

She knows very well that Xiao Nanshan doesn't have the slightest feeling for her now, and agreeing to marry is just a decision based on trade-offs.

Now that she has taken this line and has a back road, she has to pit the Ning family.

Isn't it the house and the land that they care about the most? She could have dashed the hopes of the gang.

……

After Ning Xi left the Ning family, the people of the Ning family have always felt that they can't get out of their breath, and they knew that they would have to lose so much family property, so they should have strangled the broom star of the big girl to death and buried it in the first place.

Over the years, there have been examples of women getting a share of the property!

Now the grandmother of the eldest girl sighs all day long, and she doesn't even have a taste for food.

She looked at Ning Yuerou, "Yuerou, why didn't you catch a few rabbits on the mountain these days and come back to replenish my body?" ”

Ning Yuerou held the chopsticks in her hand and paused, "Grandmother, I'll go to the mountain to have a look in a while"

With that, she lowered her eyes.

In the past, when she went to the mountains, those pheasants and rabbits would hit her feet.

She could easily catch a wild thing and go home, but it was a bit strange these days, and she had been wandering around the mountains for a long time, and she hadn't seen a single wild thing in the evening, let alone crashed to death at her feet.

What's more, Xu Jinqing seems to be avoiding her

Why? Is it because he is afraid that the villagers will see him gossiping?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard her aunt and aunt talking.

"I don't know how the big girl is now, the boss, do you want to go and see?"

"Look at it, that white-eyed wolf hates our family, and he doesn't treat us as a father."
