Chapter 17: The House

Shen San has never done heavy work in his life so far, and with his status and status, no one will dare to do heavy work for him in this life. But he jumped off the cliff by himself, and since then his life has been varied, and he has begun to experience a different life.

But there is always a reward for the effort, and when the dried fish is eaten, he is also happy to be willing. Leave aside the important state affairs for the time being, and live a peaceful life under this cliff with dried fish.

He led everyone to the halfway point of the back mountain, and carried the red beans into the cabin and settled them. That night, all four of them huddled into the room for a short rest. Although the conditions are difficult, fortunately there is a shelter from the wind and rain.

When I woke up the next day, the sky was beautiful and the sun was shining. The fresh air in the mountains and forests has made everyone's tired body and mind much better. As the only man, Shen San Wang Ye naturally took on the heavy responsibility and was responsible for taking care of everyone. Mu Yan is not idle, early in the morning, the young couple went to fetch water, pick fruits, and catch fish.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, the next step is to think about the days to come. The wisdom of the third prince is useful wherever he puts it, and seeing that the small cabin has limited space, he immediately went to cut wood and prepare to build a new house.

Mu Yan's body and bones have already healed, and he is full of energy at this time. Shen Li saw her excitement and didn't stop her. There are four of them, Hongdou is a patient, and Aunt Gui has to take care of her and can't leave half a step, so everything falls on him and Mu Yan.

Shen Li knew that Mu Yan had the ability to talk to animal spirit animals, and because of this relationship, her living habits had changed a lot, and she was used to being a vegetarian without meat. However, the cycle of life and death has its own fate, and she does not require everyone to follow a vegetarian diet.

And the red beans are sick, and they can't eat fruits and game. So he thought about it and decided that he had to go down the mountain. It's best to bring the pots and rice from Aunt Gui's house. To put it bluntly, the disease of red beans is fate, fate is good, God opens her eyes, she can get through it. On the contrary, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days...... If she has three longs and two shorts, Aunt Gui probably won't be able to survive. Shen Li frowned, and couldn't help but worry about the days ahead.

"Brother, are these enough on the roof?"

Mu Yan ran over with a pile of thatch and looked up at him, her little face full of laughter. The morning sun was good, and the splendor on her body became more and more dazzling. In an instant, all the worries vanished.

Shen Li remembered that Yuluo once said to him that there are still people like the Seventh Prince in this world, so people still have a goal to work for. Not everything is dirty, there is always something to protect in a person's life. For him, the Seventh Prince is undoubtedly one. Later, he may meet another one or more.

Now, Shen Li suddenly understood. For him, Ayan is more of a responsibility. He is an older brother and deserves to take care of him. He is willing to give everything for this younger brother, even his life, because of the nurturing grace of the summer queen, because of the drawer full of letters, because of the sentence "third brother" that has been shouted for twenty years. ”

But for Mu Yan, he can't put it into words. Because I don't know when it started, every day I open my eyes to make sure that she is not around, every time I see her smiling, I feel that this world is so good.

Sometimes I feel like I'm stupid, but when I fall in love with someone, I feel like I've changed someone. Sometimes when he thinks of state affairs, the war is impermanent, the sword has no eyes, he is never afraid of life and death, but if something really happens to him, what should he do with that little dried fish?

"Brother?"

A soft call interrupted his thoughts, and Shen Li jumped down from the roof, took the straw from Mu Yan's hand, and wiped the sweat from her forehead for her.

"That's enough, where did you get so much straw?"

If it weren't for the extraordinary times, Shen Li would be willing to let her work so hard. But seeing the little fish jumping around, he was also happy, this appearance is much better than being sick.

"There are a lot of them over there. Mu Yan pointed to a place in the distance, then turned around to reveal the medicine basket behind him. "I also picked some herbs in case I needed them. It's just that my memory is not as good as you, and I have forgotten my name a lot. Anyway, if you see something familiar, you can take it for me, and if it is useful, I will leave it to dry, and if it is useless, throw it away. ”

Shen Li put down the straw, leaned over and picked up some casually and took a look. "If you look familiar, it's probably useful. It's okay, just take it all to dry. ”

"Hmm. Mu Yan nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Shen Li.

"Yan'er, I'm going down the mountain to get something. There is not much food in the mountains, and we can't eat fruit and game every day. You stay here to help Aunt Gui take care of the red beans, and the house will be built when I come back. ”

After being driven away by the villagers, seeing that Aunt Gui and Hongdou's mother and daughter were helpless, Shen Li was cold-blooded, and he couldn't stand idly by. So the previous advice was in vain, he took the initiative to help, and it was even more impossible for Mu Yan to sit idly by.

Until now, who cares about the question of whether it is contagious or not. Shen San has always relied on himself in everything, and never begged God to worship Buddha and beg for anything. But this time, he was looking forward to it.

He and Mu Yan can be regarded as bitter and sweet, and it is rare to live a few days of stable life. Originally, they fell off the cliff and came to this broken cloud abyss, although they have not found a way out yet, but in fact, both of them understand that one day they will leave. It's just that no one has said anything about it now, thinking about such a stable life, and it can be lived one day at a time.

But fate made people and deliberately did not let them be comfortable. Red beans contracted smallpox, which is highly contagious. Helplessly, she and Aunt Gui's mother and daughter are their saviors, and it is impossible to ignore them. Shen Li didn't believe in fate, but since he couldn't escape, he would go with the flow and face it calmly. If you are really unfortunate enough to be infected and die, it will be easy to do. At least he is still with Yan'er, and it can be regarded as a happy ending.

"Okay, be careful. Now the villagers of Shattered Cloud Abyss treat us as monsters, so don't catch them and set them on fire. ”

Mu Yan joked with a smile, Shen Li raised the corner of his mouth and pinched her nose before going down the mountain. After he left, Mu Yan first laid out the herbs in the medicine basket and dried them, then went into the house to look at the situation of the red beans, and comforted Aunt Gui a few words. Then he went out of the house and began to gather the wood and thatch.

The small house has not yet taken shape, and is only halfway built. Conditions are limited, and it may leak in the event of heavy rain after the roof is covered with thatch. But even so, in Mu Yan's eyes, this house was even much better than Shen Li's palace.

Every piece of wood in this house was cut by Shen Li himself, and they moved it back together. She picked up these straws, and she will lay them on the roof with Shen Li in the future. These are full of memories, and nothing compares to them. The warmth of home really does not depend on the size and magnificence of the house, but on the people who live in it.

This is her real marriage room, and it is her and Shen Li's home. Although it can't come true, she can't help but think about it. It would be great if I could live here for the rest of my life.
