Substitute Bride: The Gentle Husband of the Evil Girl is Crazy and Wild

Chapter 22 Are You Really Not Going to Torture Him?

Li Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes slightly and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Even pigs can't be fed so fat.

She asked: "Why?"

Li Huahua didn’t know the reason, and even her father wasn’t very clear either. She told Li Xiaoyu what she was thinking.

Then he continued, "My father and I both guessed that Gu Fei might have offended a wealthy family. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he was blind, had broken arms and legs, and made such a strange request."

Li Xiaoyu bit her inner lip and lowered her eyes to stare at the weeds under her feet.

After thinking for a long time, he said to Li Huahua: "Even if you have offended a wealthy and powerful person, the injuries on his body are already bad enough, and you still want to insult him again."

"Isn't this making his life worse than death?"

Li Huahua and Li Wu thought the same thing as she said, but they only blamed the latter for being greedy for money and taking on inappropriate jobs.

"Third sister, this is how the world works. All the high officials in the past dynasties were torn into pieces by five horses. Let alone ordinary people like us. Gu Fei offended someone and ended up like this. This is his fate."

Her words were met with a sinister smile from Gu Fei.

命…

He doesn't believe in fate.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu raised his eyes and stared at Li Huahua. She looked towards the yard and saw nothing but tattered and dilapidated things.

Just like Gu Fei’s current situation.

She said in a deep voice: "Second sister, I don't think this is his fate."

The lives of ordinary people like them are worthless, but they cannot accept their fate.

Just a simple sentence, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creates ripples.

Gu Fei frowned. Although she didn't believe what Li Xiaoyu said, she was inexplicably touched by her words.

Li Huahua's expression darkened, and she immediately stopped her from continuing, "Third sister, do you know what you are talking about?"

Listening to the woman's scolding, Li Xiaoyu replied calmly: "I know, I want to express that I don't believe in fate, that's all."

Living in different times, she could not make Li Huahua not accept her fate, nor could she accept her own fate.

Respect others and respect yourself.

Not wanting to argue with Li Huahua about this, she changed the subject: "Second sister, did the other party give Dad a deadline? When do they want it to be completed?"

"Yes, one year," this is what Li Huahua heard her father say at that time.

Li Xiaoyu closed his eyes, one year...

Almost instantly, she had an idea and nodded slightly to Li Huahua, "I understand."

The two sisters chatted for a few more words, and after seeing them off, Li Xiaoyu did not rush back to the yard.

She walked to a large stone on the outer wall.

He pulled a handful of weeds from the ground, cleaned the mud and moss off the surface of the stone, and then sat down on it.

The stone was a little distance away from the kitchen, but that didn't prevent the person in the kitchen from hearing her mumbling.

The woman crossed her legs on the stone surface and leaned her back against the fence.

With his arms folded, he looked at the sunless sky, took a long breath, and muttered to himself: "Why do you want to feed Gu Fei into a fat man? Are you jealous of his handsome appearance?"

When Gu Fei heard the word "beautiful", the touch in his heart disappeared immediately and his breath dropped by one degree instantly.

Li Xiaoyu tilted his head and continued, "If you are jealous of his beauty, wouldn't it be better to just peel his skin off? Why make him live a life worse than death?"

Hearing about skinning, Gu Fei laughed.

The smile was gentle yet cold.

No wonder the old guy came to your Li family to disgust me. Each one is more inhuman than the other.

Li Xiaoyu, who was called a non-human, was still looking up at the sky in confusion.

She straightened her back, looked back at the yard, folded her hands and rested them on the rotten fence, muttering softly, "He has been miserable enough. If you continue to treat him like this, he will be no different from an animal."

Having said that, she became more determined in her thoughts.

"Anyway, there is still a year left, so we should live one day at a time. When the day comes when we can no longer live, we will quietly send him to the mountains."

"It's better to die in the mountains than to be tortured."

Hearing her words, Gu Fei raised his eyelids slightly, and his lazy eyes could not express the astonishment in his eyes.

He was surprised at Li Xiaoyu's unusual idea.

Shouldn't people who are greedy for money be treated like animals so that they can make a fortune and live a life of luxury?

Xiaoyu rubbed his nose with his hand and stared at the threshold of the main room, where Gu Fei often sat in a daze.

"But...why don't you ask Gu Fei about his background?"

After saying that, she shook her head again, like a one-man show performer, "Forget it, I'd better not ask. That would just poke at his wounds. Who likes to talk about sad things?"

She thought about it and thought, if she was as miserable as Gu Fei, there would still be people who were so tactless as to expose her scars.

She wanted to slap the other person against the wall so that he couldn't get off even if he tried.

When faced with a difficult decision, Li Xiaoyu likes to stay alone in a deserted place and talk to himself.

"Forget it, let's go back and finish the portrait of the wanted criminal."

He stood up and jumped off the stone, shook off the dust on his butt, and walked into the broken yard, facing the comfortable autumn breeze and the pleasant sound of bamboo.

Her words to herself gave Gu Fei an indescribable feeling, and the hay in his hand was crushed without him knowing when.

Scattered all over the place.

Is she really not going to torture me?

Li Xiaoyu entered the main room and didn't see Gu Fei, so she walked into the room again.

I found the bed was empty.

He walked out and looked at the parrot perched on the beam, and shouted, "You idiot, where is Gu Fei?"

The parrot circled on the beam and stretched its neck to look at her.

I don't want to speak but I'm afraid of getting beaten.

He muttered honestly, "Kitchen, kitchen."

Just as it finished speaking, a deep voice came: "Madam, I'm boiling water in the kitchen."

Hearing the man's voice, Li Xiaoyu walked forward.

The parrot also flew down and followed her, keeping a safe distance from her.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Gu Fei making a fire. She walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the smoking hot water in the pot.

She thought it was brewed for Li Huahua and the others to drink.

She said in a gentle voice: "Gu Fei, there is no need to burn it. Second sister has already left."

"Madam, I'm boiling some water for you to drink," Gu Fei decided to keep her for a while and see how it goes.

Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Me?"

Hearing her surprised answer, Gu Fei smiled and said, "Madam, your throat is uncomfortable. Drinking some hot water will make you feel much better."

Looking at his slightly curved eyes, Li Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little impressed by him.

She felt some pity for him.

Unless one is born evil, one will almost always have subconscious sympathy for the weak.

Just like the man who was snatching steamed buns in the city, if he didn't say he wanted to buy steamed buns, she might have given him one out of sympathy.

But he said he would buy it, which means he has money.

Not having enough money is different from having free food.

Look at Gu Fei again, he is in such a miserable state. Even if gentleness is just his appearance, he controls his emotions very well.

Stable enough not to look like a cripple.

She pursed her lips and thanked him politely: "Thank you."

Hearing her sincere words, Gu Fei responded gently: "You are too polite, Madam."

While Gu Fei was boiling water, Li Xiaoyu was not idle either.

She went outside to cut a bamboo and made three bamboo tube cups, one for her and one for Gu Fei.

There is also one for the parrot, and the mouth of the cup is much shallower to make it easier for it to drink water.

After boiling the water, she brought two cups of hot water to the main room.

Afraid that Gu Fei would knock over the cup and wet the paper on the table, she took a small stool and placed the cup on it.

After taking a sip of warm water with bamboo fragrance, she felt better. As for whether drinking hot water filled with fresh bamboo would cause diarrhea.

She didn't know, but she had already drunk it.

For the rest of the time, neither of them left the main room.

Gu Fei painted very slowly due to problems with his hands and eyes, and Li Xiaoyu couldn't imagine it.

Her upper body was like an octopus, crawling around on the table.

As the sky grew darker, she did not move a single stroke.

She turned her head and stared at the dragonfly that flew from left to right in the yard and then disappeared from her sight. It was like seeing silver disappearing.

He said weakly, "It's so fast. It's already dinner time in the blink of an eye. There are only two days left."
