Where did the cry come from?

Zhao Hengyi, who had always been vigilant, woke up instantly, and while sitting up from the door panel, he held the crossbow and firewood knife in his hand!

After carefully identifying it, Zhao Hengyi breathed a long sigh of relief, it was Xiaoyu.

"What are you crying about? Are you homesick? ”

The moonlight shined through the window lattice, and the silver glow sprinkled on Miao Xiaoyu's delicate little face stained with tears, like a little flower cat.

"No, since my father and mother died, where my sisters are, where is my home."

Miao Xiaoyu sniffed slightly, as if emphasizing something, and she didn't have a good face for Zhao Hengyi.

Zhao Hengyi laughed silently, this girl was actually making trouble.

"Then why don't you sleep and cry secretly?"

"My husband and I are married, but we sleep alone...... I knew that my husband was taboo about my reputation as a kefu and a mourning star, and I was panicked bitterly. ”

Zhao Hengyi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he never thought that Miao Xiaoyu would be wronged because of this kind of thing, and even had trouble with himself for the first time.

"Xiaoyu, listen to me, there is only one grass room and one bed in this house, and my sisters are still young...... When we make money in the future, let's build a big house, and life will always be prosperous. ”

Zhao Hengyi said nonsense that he didn't even believe in, but he was able to coax Miao Xiaoyu to stop crying, and his little face was red with shame, "What Kefu and what is a mourning star, I have never believed it, my Xiaoyu is Wangfu's life, otherwise I can hit so many prey for the first time I go into the mountains?" ”

In fact, as a modern person, Zhao Hengyi is difficult to accept this kind of feudal arranged marriage, in his opinion, two people with no emotional foundation are forced together, and they cannot be regarded as real husband and wife.

He agreed to marry Miao Xiaoyu entirely to help this strong girl break free from her original tragic fate.

It's just that Zhao Hengyi never dared to tell Miao Xiaoyu about these real reasons, this girl is very sensitive now, and if she wants to be strong again, she has to sincerely believe that she is not a dead star of Kefu!

Originally, Miao Xiaoyu, who was just awkward in her heart and couldn't get past that hurdle, blushed her cheeks and leaned her head on Zhao Hengyi's shoulder, just this one action seemed to have spent all her strength.

Zhao Hengyi's face was straight, he put his finger in front of his mouth and made a few vocal gestures, and then listened to Miao Xiaoyu's stunned expression.

There are people outside the thatched hut!

Because the six little ones slept soundly, whether it was Miao Xiaoyu secretly crying or the two talking, the voice was extremely low, so in this quiet night, the sound outside the house could be heard very clearly.

Zhao Hengyi asked Miao Xiaoyu to protect his sisters, and slowly touched the door with a firewood knife and a crossbow by himself.

Zhao Hengyi went into the mountains to hunt, and the harvest was full of things, which has become a hot topic in Yushu Bay in the evening, the world is difficult, and everyone can't eat enough, even if the folk customs of Yushu Bay are quite simple, but it is difficult to guarantee that some people will be greedy and have some crooked thoughts.

Quietly touched the outside of the room, and under the moonlight, Zhao Hengyi saw a black shadow squatting behind his thatched house, not knowing what he was doing.

A smell of lamp oil was sent into Zhao Hengyi's nose by the night wind, and Zhao Hengyi's face suddenly turned blue!

This black shadow is not here to steal anything, but to set fire to his own family!

Zhao Hengyi rushed to the black shadow in two steps and kicked the other party to the ground with one kick!

"Ahh

A miserable howl pierced the silent night sky, it was Liu Shuang's bastard!

Liu Shuang, who was exposed to the matter, hugged his head and scolded, scolded loudly while running, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Hengyi didn't continue to chase, but carefully checked where Liu Shuang was just now, only to see that this kid had already sprinkled the lamp oil on the thatch, and there was a fire fold falling on the ground.

remembered that when he first returned to the village, Liu Shuang once said that he would burn down Zhao Hengyi's home, and everything was clear.

Liu Shuang was beaten by Zhao Hengyi at the entrance of the village, and he felt that he had lost face, and he took revenge in the dead of night!

Zhao Hengyi's eyes became cold, if it was just some small contradictions in the quarrel, he might not care too much, but Liu Shuang wanted to set fire to his house, and he didn't want to leave a way for himself to survive at all!

If it weren't for Xiaoyu's secret crying at night, if he wasn't vigilant enough, once this dry thatch was ignited, I'm afraid that all eight members of the family would be buried in the fire!

There were six small cries in the house, obviously awakened by Liu Shuang's screams and scolding, and the little girls who had just lived a stable life for two days were frightened.

"Husband, the thief was beaten away by you?"

Miao Xiaoyu, who was thin and weak, also rushed out of the house with a big wooden stick in both hands.

Under the moonlight, the thin figure couldn't stop trembling, and she was also terrified, right?

But in order to help her husband and protect her hard-won stable life, Miao Xiaoyu still stood up bravely, even if she was afraid of death!

"It's okay, go back to the house."

Looking at the weak figure in the moonlight, Zhao Hengyi's eyes became gentle.

Zhao Hengyi's home is extremely remote, even in Elm Bay, it has a bit of a sense of isolation, as if when this thatched house was built, Zhao Hengyi's nominal father wanted to hide something.

This is probably one of the reasons why Liu Shuang dared to really set fire to the house, if Zhao Hengyi's home was in the middle of the village, Liu Shuang would not dare to have such courage.

Miao Xiaoyu comforted her sisters softly with tears in her eyes, and Zhao Hengyi sat cross-legged on the door panel with a gloomy face.

His previous thoughts were a little deviated, and it was obviously not feasible to just rely on the insights and means of modern people to live a prosperous life in this Great Yan Country.

As the saying goes, a good man helps three people with three fences and three piles, and he is alone in the Great Yan Kingdom, even if he gains wealth, he is afraid that he is a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of others.

Liu Shuang's incident reminded Zhao Hengyi that it is obviously not possible to fight alone here.

If he has three or five brothers and younger brothers with high door frames, I am afraid that even if he is really a fool, Liu Shuang would not dare to bully himself, let alone really burn his house!

Zhao Hengyi sat quietly on the door panel, guarding his small poor home, but his heart turned one thought after another, until the first rays of the morning sun shone on him through the door.

"After what happened last night, Liu Shuang definitely doesn't dare to provoke again, you take care of your sisters at home, I'll go to the county seat to sell the prey and come back in exchange for some food."

Liu Shuang's splashing skin must have escaped from the village after such a fuss last night, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Hengyi was relieved that Miao Xiaoyu was at home with his sisters.

After last night's incident, Miao Xiaoyu seemed to have become stronger again, and asked Zhao Hengyi to go to the county seat, but only asked his husband to remember to buy some spinning materials.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and Zhao Hengyi did not return home until the afternoon with grain and other purchased things on his back, while Wu Lao Liu, the only hunter in the village, was waiting for him on a large stone pier in front of the thatched house.

Zhao Hengyi's heart suddenly tightened, his peers are enemies, Xiaoyu is at home with a few younger sisters, there will be no danger, right?
