A week later, tiny grains of salt floated in the sky.
Such a beautiful scenery looks like a disaster to the wastelanders.
morning.
Chen Xian was sleeping with Xiao Yu in his arms in a warm room, when suddenly there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"Who?"
Chen Xian wrapped himself in thick clothes and came out of the bed, trembling a little: "Who is it?"
Outside the house, an old voice came: "I am Lao Li Tou."
Squeak——
Chen Xian opened the door, and the salt particles poured into his neck along with the cold wind, making him shiver.
"Quick, come in!"
The owner of the scrap recycling depot is said to have connections with a certain big shot in the inner city, so it's a good idea to have a good relationship with him.
"Your boy's body is not as handsome as mine." Old Li Tou laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the old man is here just to say goodbye to you."
As she spoke, the girl behind her stepped forward.
Chen Xian looked at the woman and was shocked: "This...isn't this Lu Shan's sister? You have a brother who is a quasi-warrior, and you still need to marry him?"
Chen Xian looked back without changing his expression.
Xiaoyu had already stood up, smiling and pouring hot tea for them.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh, she is such a good wife, I must not let her down.
Lao Li picked up the tea bowl to warm his hands and said: "His brother Lu Shan encountered an accident in his hunting a few days ago. Now my sister is helpless and has a difficult time in this winter, so..."
As he said that, he winked at Chen Xian.
Generally speaking, although would-be warriors cannot enter the inner city, the shelter will allocate them a house close to the inner city for free.
But once the rabbit dies, the house will be confiscated.
Chen Xian understood that Lao Litou had taken advantage of him last time, so he brought this girl here to take a look. I don’t know how many people are thinking about such a beautiful person!
"Furthermore, her strength is close to that of a low-level warrior. She is not a flower vase, but she can contribute."
As Old Li Tou said, Chen Xian looked at the girl.
Now his face is like a little cat, full of dust.
Chen Xian knew that he had good looks, but he was a little hesitant. He didn't know how much the asking price would be. After all, he had just bought so many iron blocks a few days ago.
Lu Ying's eyes were lifeless and very sad.
In the days after her brother died, she didn't know how much she suffered.
In this era, it is difficult for women, especially women, to survive alone without strength.
The households that Mr. Li was looking at before were either powerful or very wealthy, but they had four or five wives and concubines. Even if she went there, she would inevitably be ostracized.
Otherwise, life is very tight, and one meal is too late to be eaten.
This one is good.
He makes a living by blacksmithing, and is said to be an intermediate blacksmith.
Although the room is small, it is also very warm.
Table, bed, thick clothes, food, everything is provided. It seems that he is a person who knows how to live well.
Chen Xian glanced at Lu Ying, pulled Lao Li aside and asked in a low voice, "How much does this girl cost?"
Old Li Tou gave Chen Xian a strange look: "Do you think I am a human trafficker?"
Um?
Aren't you?
"I've already paid out the money. I just want to find a reliable husband with whom I can live my life."
Chen Xian opened his mouth, feeling, am I the one chosen?
Lu Ying stood in front of him and asked boldly: "I think you are very good, do you want to consider it?"
Chen Xian
My heart beat a few times unsatisfactorily.
This... appearance and figure are both excellent, and they are paid for out of pocket, so why not?
In an instant, Chen Xian had made a decision.
Send Old Li Tou out of the alley.
Looking at his disappearing back, in the blink of an eye, the footprints left behind were slowly buried by grains of salt.
"call--"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xian returned to the house.
…
The door was closed, keeping out the wind and snow.
Chen Xian slapped the snow particles on his body and asked, "Girl, what do you call me?"
"Lu Ying."
She seemed to have lost her previous boldness and sat at the table nervously.
Everything before was just pretending to be strong. If he was just submissive, he would have been eaten as early as the day his brother had the accident.
At this time, Xiaoyu walked up to Lu Ying, held her little hand and said softly: "Sister, Brother Chen is very good. When you come here, you feel like you are at home, don't be nervous."
When Xiaoyu heard Lao Litou say that brother Lu Ying also suffered an accident outside, he instantly remembered his original situation.
"Yeah." Lu Ying nodded obediently.
"Come, let's go wash our faces first."
Chen Xian saw that they were getting along well with each other, and his feelings about bringing it up suddenly seemed to settle down. But he still said: "Miss Lu, no matter what experiences you have had before, but now that you have entered the door of my Chen family, you must obey the rules of my Chen family. Xiaoyu was the first one I married, she said What, you have to listen. Otherwise..."
"knew."
Lu Ying nodded, feeling a little surprised in her heart. Most of the men she saw were new and tired of the old.
This one is a little different.
Chen Xian secretly thought that in order to gain favor, the two bowls of water must be balanced.
"Xiaoyu, teach Miss Lu everything you have learned later, and I will go out for a walk."
Seeing Chen Xian leaving, Lu Ying asked in surprise: "Teach me what?"
Xiaoyu smiled, leaned into her ear and said.
Lu Ying, whose fair skin was exposed after washing, heard this, and her face turned red instantly.
So that's it. .
Lu Ying's body couldn't help but tremble when she thought of what she had to do later.
…
Chen Xian took advantage of the fact that the snow was not heavy at the moment and planned to go to the iron shop to strike some iron.
Unexpectedly, his thoughts were confused at the moment, and his mind was filled with the shadow of Lu Ying, which he couldn't get rid of.
"Forget it, go back."
He threw the hammer casually on the workbench, wrapped himself in clothes and walked outside.
The snow that fell now had already changed from salt grains to flakes.
In two days, when heavy snow falls like feathers, all work in the town will stop.
In the next ten days, there was only one thing - clearing the snow.
The snowstorm was so heavy that if we didn't clean it up for a long time, the whole house would be buried soon.
Squeak——
Opening the door, Chen Xian put his hand on the stove to toast it.
The little fish has already prepared food for him.
On the bed, Lu Ying was already lying under the quilt. But his head was shrunk inside and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
While Chen Xian was eating, he looked at the floor next to the stove, frowned and said, "Xiaoyu, you will also sleep on the bed tonight."
"ah?"
Xiaoyu, who was drinking porridge, almost choked and said, "Sister, this is your first time. I'd better not be in bed."
Chen Zhengse said: "It's freezing cold, the ground is too cold."
Xiaoyu was moved for a while after hearing this, and was about to say something, but when he saw Chen Xian's mouth curling up unconsciously, he immediately understood.
This month, the small shack has been continuously renovated, and the thermal insulation effect is excellent. Where is the cold?
"Brother Chen, no way~"
Chen Xian blushed and smiled.
Xiaoyu pushed Chen Xian's back and said, "Go quickly, don't make people wait in a hurry."
