Chapter 1: Brother and Sister

Next Chapter

Li Ku felt that he might be suffering from an eye disease, and a line of words always appeared in front of him inexplicably these days.

"Do you want to become a sword fairy? first you need to go to the blacksmith shop in the east of the city to buy an iron sword..."

What is a sword immortal, Li Ku doesn't know if it's the same as the immortals in Qingyun Mountain a hundred miles away, if so, then Li Ku will be very interested, after all, I heard that the immortals there don't have to do anything and have meat to eat every day.

But Li Ku knew that an iron sword in the iron sword shop in the east of the city cost six taels of silver, and these six taels of silver were enough for Li Ku to save in a year, and before the autumn harvest of the next year, these six taels of silver were all the expenses of him and his sister, and he also promised to buy his sister a new set of clothes before the New Year.

Shaking his head, trying to shake the line away from his eyes, Li Ku then carried the bundled firewood, he didn't hit the prey today, and it was getting dark, Li Ku had to go back quickly, otherwise the mountain road at night was not easy to walk, and in this mountain, there were wolves at night, Li Ku didn't think that he could deal with wolves with some of the skills he learned from his father to hunt rabbits and pheasants.

For the inexplicable words that appeared in front of him, Li Ku decided not to care about it, no matter how he tried these days, there was no way to make it disappear, and there was no way to make it change a little, anyway, it would not affect Li Ku's usual sight, as for going to the doctor, one was because he didn't feel any discomfort, and the other reason was that Li Ku felt that he didn't have such a big heart, and it wasn't a headache and brain fever, once he went to the doctor, and then his symptoms spread, I was afraid that the people in the village would think that he had offended the mountain god, and he would directly sacrifice himself to the mountain god。

When he was a child, a child of the same age as Li Ku in the village was treated like this, and the child was directly burned alive, and the scene at that time kept Li Ku in his heart when he was a teenager, and even became a frequent visitor in his childhood nightmares.

Before sunset, Li Ku returned to the village, greeted the people in the village along the way, and walked outside his yard.

opened the door, and as soon as the firewood was put in the firewood room, a little girl with a pink and tender look ran towards Li Ku.

"Brother, brother!"

Looking at the little girl running over, Li Ku's face showed a smile, and he stretched out and pressed the little girl's head to prevent her from rushing over.

"Don't make a fuss, Ruoxue, my brother is full of dirt, and it will stain your clothes. ”

Li Ruoxue, Li Ku's sister, of course, the two of them are not brothers and sisters, as long as you look carefully at the appearance of the two, you can see that Li Ku is now sixteen years old, and because he often works in the field, his face is a little tanned, and Li Ruoxue is white and pure, with bright eyes and bright teeth, he is a little beauty embryo.

Li Ruoxue, was picked up six years ago when Li Ku's father was still there, and when he went up to the mountains to hunt in winter, Li Ruoxue at that time was not as cute as she is now, she looked wrinkled, of course Li Ku thought that this little guy was not the old ladies who basking in the sun at the entrance of the village every day had become smaller.

The names of the children in the village are generally how to be down-to-earth, such as dogs, iron pillars, and of course, Li Ku, because everyone thinks it is easy to feed, but Li Ruoxue was not like this when she came to Li Ku's house, Li Ku's father took a jar of wine and a piece of bacon that he had not been willing to drink, and he blocked the name that the old show in the village had only been asking for for a long time.

"Brother, I'm going to eat meat today!"

"Then did you study hard at Mr. Xu's today?"

Looking at the eager Li Ruoxue, Li Ku felt a little funny and rubbed her head, the old gentleman was the old Xiucai who named Li Ruoxue, but he ran a private school at home to teach the children in the village to read and write for free, and the people in the village called him Mr. Xu.

Li Ku also learned words under the teaching of Mr. Xu, but three years ago, Li Ku's father died of a cold, and the burden of the family fell on Li Ku, who was thirteen years old at the time, Li Ku never went again, and Li Ruoxue, who was six years old this year, also began to read under the teaching of Mr. Xu.

For Mr. Xu, Li Ku's heart is very grateful, after his father left, Mr. Xu helped Li Ku a lot, and after Li Ruoxue went to Mr. Xu's private school to read and write, Li Ku can rest assured that he can go hunting in the mountains to supplement his family without worrying about his family.

"Study hard, brother, I can now write my own name and my brother's name. ”

As she spoke, Li Ruoxue took a wooden stick and began to draw on the land in the yard, and after a while, the words Li Ku and Li Ruoxue appeared on the ground, although they looked crooked.

"Okay, Ruoxue is amazing! I'll put a few more pieces of meat for you tonight. ”

"Great!"

Hearing Li Ku's words, Li Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh happily, and when she smiled, she revealed a funny scene of missing a front tooth, although she quickly realized it and quickly reached out to cover her mouth.

Li Ku held back a smile, otherwise this little girl would have cried again, this little girl accidentally fell down a few days ago and knocked out one of her front teeth, she cried a lot at the time, and she was sullen for several days after that, and she didn't talk to Li Ku, for fear that she would be exposed as soon as she spoke.

Let Li Ruoxue, who was chirping like a little yellow finch, continue to gesture on the ground in the yard, and Li Ku began to prepare dinner for two people.

Since Li Ku started to hunt in the mountains this year, the two of them in this small home, they can see meat every three or five days, put it in the first two years, and they can't eat a little meat in a year, which has also happened, and Li Ku found that since the beginning of this year, Li Ruoxue's height has grown faster and faster, and last year it was not as high as the table, and now she can already show her eyes.

Cut off a much larger piece than usual from the marinated bacon, Li Ku put it in the pot and began to cook, Li Ruoxue is too young, the bacon needs to be boiled for a while, otherwise she will bite hard.

By the time Li Ku had finished cooking, Li Ruoxue had already climbed onto the stool by herself, sat at the table and waited.

Two bowls of noodles, a bowl of more meat and less noodles, a bowl of more noodles and less meat, and a small plate of pickles, this is the dinner of the two Li Ku brothers and sisters today.

"It's time to eat!"

"Hmm!"

Seeing Li Ruoxue start to gobble up, Li Ku also began to eat.

In the dim light of the oil lamp, the simple meal, and the small two people, constitute a warm picture.

"Brother!"

Li Ku, who lowered his head to eat noodles, raised his head with some doubts, and watched Li Ruoxue stretch out the meat with chopsticks in front of him.

"Brother eats meat!"

"I've got it here. ”

"But brother, you don't have a lot of meat in your bowl, Grandpa Xu said, eat more meat to grow taller. ”

"Then you should eat more!" Looking at Li Ruoxue in front of her stretching out her short hand, the corners of Xu Yan's mouth lifted slightly.

"Hurry up, brother, I can't move......"
