The room was quiet for a while, and only the sound of autumn cicadas outside could be heard, which seemed to be nothing.

"But you don't have a better place to go now, do you?" Tian Yao looked at his medicated leg, "If you had the right to choose, you might not be reduced to this point." ”

Yu Nian looked at him and had to admit that what he said was right, Feng Zhe's people brought him here, of course, they had to humiliate him enough before leaving, how could he have the right to choose.

But Yu Nian still didn't speak, he closed himself off and didn't communicate with anyone. Tian Yao is not a quiet person, in the past, at home, his father and little father were always troubled by his quarrels, and then they passed away, Tian Yao lived alone, and he didn't know who to talk to, so he slowly quieted down.

At this moment, there was finally someone at home who could listen to him, and he couldn't stop: "I came out of the village chief's house just now, and someone has been following us, is it your enemy?" ”

Yu Nian raised his eyes to look at him, the twilight light shone through the shadows of the trees, leaving mottled points of light, sprinkled into the room, Tian Yao's eyes were very bright, like a clear spring that had never been stained with dust, he still didn't speak, just lowered his head.

"So your enemy, bring you here, let the village chief come forward, let me take you home, what's the picture?" Tian Yao couldn't understand it, since it was an enemy, if he was beaten up, he would not be serious and just kill him, why bother Zhou Zhang to help people be a matchmaker?

Only then did Yu Nian raise his eyes, and when he saw his eyes, he knew that he had not experienced those real evils, so he said the first sentence of the day: "Because death is the simplest thing, and living is the most painful." ”

Tian Yao can understand this, when his father died, his little father was in pain every day, and then there was no medicine stone, and when he left, Tian Yao could feel that he was happy, but he felt sorry for Tian Yao.

Yu Nian said that being alive is the source of all suffering.

"However, it's better to die than to live." Tian Yao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Are you hungry?" I'll make you something to eat. ”

Regardless of Yu Nian's answer, he went straight to the stove room.

Tian Yao looked at the rice jar with no grains left, and sighed, originally wanted to go up the mountain today to have a look, but it seems that he can't go, but fortunately there is still some flour.

When he lived alone, he was used to it, and he didn't care if the noodles were gluten or not, and he was done with it.

The lard jar was almost empty, he took out his purse, there were few children on him, and he couldn't buy a pound of lard, not to mention that he had to get married tomorrow.

Carrying the noodles back to the room, Yu Nian still maintained the posture of Tian Yao just now, and did not move at all.

"Let's eat some noodles, there's nothing to eat at home." Tian Yao sat on the bed and snorted and ate noodles.

Seeing him eating very fragrantly, Yu Nian's Adam's apple rolled, took the noodles, and took a bite, but found that in addition to the original taste of the noodles and a little aroma of lard, this bowl of noodles had no other taste at all, and I didn't know how he ate it.

After Tian Yao finished eating, he saw that Yu Nian's bowl had basically not moved, he took his own bowl, took the chopsticks and bowl from Yu Nian's hand, thinking that he was not very comfortable, and fed a chopstick noodle to his mouth.

I saw Yu Nian move his head.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Yu Nian still tilted his head sideways, didn't look at the bowl in his hand again, didn't eat or speak.

So Tian Yao held the bowl and ate all the noodles in the bowl, and finally sighed with satisfaction.

Yu Nian: ......

Tian Yao wiped his mouth: "It's not delicious, is it?" Nor can it be wasted. ”

Yu Nian's hand twisted the corner of the quilt and touched the hairpin he was carrying.

"I estimate that the people who come to see you will only leave if they see that your household registration falls under my name, and it is confirmed that you are my husband." He put the hairpin back into Yu Nian's palm.

Yu Nian didn't know about this, he was a tiger in Pingyang, and there was no room to turn over.

"So, do you still have relatives?" Tian Yao asked.

Yu Nian lowered his eyes, his mother clan was far away in the capital, and his father's side had been isolated for three generations.

"So, your best bet right now is to stay here." Tian Yao snapped his fingers and counted with him, "I can protect you." ”

Yu Nian looked at his thin and thin body, and he didn't have any special feelings about his words.

Tian Yao looked at him: "I'm not just for you. ”

He said helplessly: "I'm not young, usually a brother of my age has become a father." I don't want to be rumored to be unable to marry again, instead of finding someone who doesn't know what it looks like, it's better for me to choose someone who is pleasing to the eye, I will save your life, and you will repay me with your body. ”

Although Yu Nian didn't speak, Tian Yao could feel that he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Tian Yao continued: "Otherwise, do you want to continue to live a life that is worse than death under the hands of your enemy? ”

"My name is Yu Nian."

Although he just reported home, Tian Yao felt the loosening of his attitude, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "Are you really not hungry?" ”

What answered Tian Yao was Yu Nian's rumbling belly.

Tian Yao held back a smile: "I'll make you something to eat again." ”

Tian Yao has always been rough with himself, and for the sake of this nominal husband, he went to the room next to him and found the cooking booklet that his father made for him before he died, and there were many eating practices written in detail on it.

Looking at the rice jar with no grains of rice left, Tian Yao flipped through the green vegetable porridge drawn by his little father, and then went to the small vegetable field next to him and pulled two pieces of green vegetables to make a bowl of green vegetable porridge.

The glutinous aroma of the white porridge and the taste of the green vegetables made Yu Nian feel a little hungrier, he brushed away Tian Yao's hand, took the bowl himself, and ate the bowl of porridge he made cleanly.

Seeing that he could eat, Tian Yao's heart relaxed a little, and then he said to him in a rambling manner: "The family is indeed a little poor, and tomorrow's marriage is just a little meaningful, with me in everything, you can take care of your body." ”

"When tomorrow is over, I will go up the mountain to see if there are any pheasants and hares in the trap I made before, and bring them back to make up for you, and if there are any, I will take them to the town and sell them, and I will buy you some clothes or something in exchange for silver, and I can't always wear my father's."

He was talking to himself, Yu Nian looked at him, his thoughts had already drifted away.

Tian Yao used to like to listen to his father and little dad chatting, listening to them from a wild fruit tree on the mountain to where the husband of the village came from, but they went early, and Tian Yao hadn't heard enough of them talking like this.

He didn't care if Yu Nian could answer him or not, anyway, he was happy to say it himself.

In Tian Yao's voice, the sky gradually darkened, Tian Yao couldn't stop, went to fill the water tank again, boiled a large pot of water, and finally returned to the room with the basin.

The oil lamp was dim, Yu Nian closed his eyes, he didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, he shouted, but there was no response, so he removed his leg from the bed and put it in the water.

Yu Nian's legs are not unconscious, and he can still feel a burst of comfort in some hot water.

Tian Yao said again: "If you are free one day, I will take you to the hospital to see if it can be cured." ”

He wanted to retract his legs, but was held tightly by Tian Yao, Yu Nian sat up, the room was too dark, and only the outline of Tian Yao could be seen.

Tian Yao was accustomed to his silence, saw that he was almost soaked, wiped him dry, pressed a few acupuncture points on his legs, and said to himself: "My father taught me." ”

Yu Nian didn't want to expose his most vulnerable place in front of people, but now he was a man-made knife, he could only watch his legs being held in the arms of a brother, but he could feel that there was a numb pain in the place where Tian Yao had pressed.

"It's a pity that I don't have the money to treat your leg for the time being." Tian Yao pressed his leg lightly, hoping that this would make his leg a little better, and it would be easier to cure it in the future.

Yu Nian was just silent in the dark, he never thought that his leg could be healed again, and he also knew that Tian Yao was really poor, even if he lived in a brick house, it was dilapidated.

"I really feel sorry for my money, and I still want to use that silver to build two more rooms." Tian Yao stuffed his legs into the thin quilt, went out with the water for washing his feet, and then washed himself, blew the oil lamp, and stood by the bed to undress.

Yu Nian's heart tightened suddenly: "What do you do?" ”

Tian Yao had already stripped off his middle coat, stood beside the bed, thought about it and moved Yu Nian to the bed: "Sleep, I don't have another bed, let's make do with it." ”

He lay down next to Yu Nian, pillowing his arms: "I don't know what tomorrow will be." As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and looked at his lower body, "Do you have three urgency at this time?" I have something to say, I'm afraid you won't wake me up in the middle of the night. ”

"Not necessarily."

Tian Yao turned over: "Okay, I'm asleep." ”

Yu Nian didn't know that there were people in the world who slept so fast, and as soon as he said that he was going to sleep, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he even snorted faintly.

He can sleep so calmly next to a person he just met today, Yu Nian knows that those rumors are not groundless. Even if his appearance is exaggerated, but in other aspects, there is not much difference.

Yu Nian's mind was full of whims, one moment was the tragic situation of his father and mother when he was executed, one moment was the frustration when he was picked off by Feng Zhe's people and broke his hamstrings, and one moment was Tian Yao's not broad but unusually strong shoulders.

In a daze, a hand was on his chest, and he lowered his eyes to see that it was Tian Yao who unconsciously turned over and slept soundly.

Yu Nian frowned, took his hand off his body, and turned over with some effort.

The autumn night is getting cooler, he hasn't slept on the couch for a long time, Tian Yao's whole body is warm and hot, and the quilt is also warm, and Yu Nian soon fell asleep.

Tian Yao gets up early every day, and today he feels that the quilt is extremely warm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw another face, and he thought for a while, oh, this person is his future husband, and they are going to get married today.

Yu Nian slept soundly, and Tian Yao didn't wake him up when he got up.

As usual, Tian Yao washed himself, then went to the stove room to mix some cornmeal with the remaining noodles, steamed a pot of steamed buns, and finished these geniuses.

He couldn't be idle, swept the yard spotlessly, put all the messy things in order, looked at the mountains behind him, and was eager to try.

Anyway, the ceremony is made at dusk, so I should be able to go up the mountain to see it now, right?

After thinking about it, forget it, what if Yu Nian's enemy takes advantage of his absence and comes to bully him, at least he has to wait for those people to leave, so that he can go out with confidence.

"Brother Yao, are you up?"

It was the Chen family husband who had a good relationship with Tian Yao in the village, his real surname was Liu, his name was Liu Zhi, he was newly married this year, and he just married to Huailing Village.

"Why did you come here so early?" Tian Yao opened the courtyard door and let him in.

"Said that you got married today, I can't come over to help?" Liu Zhi had a hearty temperament, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took out half a hanging of money from his purse and gave it to him, "I know that you have been short of money recently, and if you have a wedding today, do you still need money even if it is simple?" ”

Tian Yao didn't say anything polite to him: "When this is done, I'll pay you back." ”

Liu Zhi didn't care when he would repay the money, but asked, "Who is it, why do you want to get married in such a hurry?" ”

Tian Yao only told him that Yu Nian was also fatherless and motherless, and he had an injury on his leg, so he felt that the two of them were very suitable.

Liu Zhi also spoke openly: "My leg is not good, what should I do in the room?" ”

Tian Yao was not ashamed, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Although the legs are not good, my husband has a good waist." I said I would do it myself, but he wasn't happy about it! ”
