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

While eating, Li Xiaoyu briefly told Gu Fei about the five taels of silver.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei did not agree immediately.

He knew the difficulty of the portrait, and he also knew that Li Xiaoyu couldn't draw it, so he had no intention of helping.

Putting down his chopsticks, he asked gently, "Madam, when do you plan to finish the painting?"

After swallowing a piece of sweet potato, Li Xiaoyu took a sip of soup and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Let's set it for a month. After all, I'm not a professional. I can't do anything against my will for five taels of silver. I can only do my best."

Gu Fei sneered in his heart, your Li family has not done many things against their will.

His face was still gentle, "Madam, if you need help, you can ask me."

"Okay," Li Xiaoyu wanted more than anything else.

In the afternoon, she continued to make pot cakes on the mud stove in the yard. The parrot stood on the beam and looked at the stove which was about ten feet high.

Then look at the woman with muddy hands busy and happy, chirping: "Let's fry it, let's fry it."

The autumn breeze, accompanied by sunshine, is warm and comfortable.

Gu Fei was painting in the main room, Li Xiaoyu was humming a tune and applying mud around the stove. There were undercurrents beneath their seemingly harmonious relationship.

Hearing the idiot's words, the woman looked up and said speechlessly: "You are a parrot, not a crow."

The parrot didn't care. It tilted its head to look into the main room, then flapped its wings and flew away, still muttering, "It's going to explode, it's going to explode."

I worked hard for several days, but before I even finished the work, I was poured cold water on.

Li Xiaoyu bit his inner lip, scooped a lump of mud from the bucket, and threw it straight in the direction where the idiot flew away.

"Blast your uncle."

Hearing the swear words from her mouth, Gu Fei paused with the brush in his hand, and then started painting again.

In the evening, the earthen stove was finally almost finished after some repairs. Looking at the sunset on the opposite hill, Li Xiaoyu stood up and stretched.

I said to myself, "It's finally done."

No matter how healthy you are, you can’t stand bending over and squatting for a long time.

When he looked up, he found that the parrot, which had returned at some point, was already standing on the beam and sleeping. In the main room, Gu Fei was still painting as the sunset could not be seen.

Seeing the man's serious look, the woman pursed her lips and went to the kitchen to scoop up the last bit of water from the bottom of the vat to wash her hands.

Li Xiaoyu went out carrying two buckets of water.

Listening to her leaving footsteps, Gu Fei didn't ask a word, and acted indifferently as if the other person was just a stranger.

It took her four buckets of water to fill the water tank. After thinking about it, she went to fetch two more buckets.

I plan to use it to wipe Gu Fei’s body at night.

After three trips back and forth, her shoulders were sore from the pressure as she carried the last two buckets of water up the stairs.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She bent down and placed the bucket steadily on the steps, then sat down on the ground, lowered her head and breathed heavily.

She placed her hands on her shoulders and rubbed them a little harder. Her face wrinkled in pain and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

"Hey, it hurts."

Li Xiaoyu never thought of himself as a person who was afraid of pain, but his shoulders really couldn't bear repeating the same thing over and over again.

Hearing the woman's suppressed voice, the idiot woke up.

It looked at the somewhat lonely woman sitting on the ground with her back, and walked to the end of the beam with its little paws.

He tilted his little head and looked inside.

Seeing that the elegant man did not stop writing, the little guy blinked his round eyes, as if he did not hear the woman's voice.

Then he flew down from the beam.

It landed on Li Xiaoyu's shoulder, and moved its little paws back and forth as if massaging her shoulders.

This scene made Li Xiaoyu laugh. She smiled and touched the little guy's head, and asked in a low voice: "Are you massaging my shoulders?"

The usually talkative little thing became silent.

Whenever Li Xiaoyu pressed the left shoulder, it would step on the right shoulder, and whenever he pressed the right shoulder, it would fly to the left shoulder.

Although it didn't have much power, Li Xiaoyu felt warm in his heart.

After resting enough, she took the little guy who was still stepping on her shoulder and gently scraped its crest feathers.

He smiled and said, "Although your words are harsh, since you are so sensible, I will pay for your meals in the future."

After saying that, he put the little guy aside, stood up and walked in with two buckets of water.

The kitchen is not big, and putting two buckets of water will take up too much space.

It’s just right to put it against the wall outside the kitchen so you don’t have to run back and forth at night.

For dinner, Li Xiaoyu did not make meat buns, but fried a plate of pork and cooked two bowls of noodles.

When the meal was ready, she brought the food into the main room.

I bought some tung oil in the city today, lit a tung oil lamp and placed it on the table. With the moonlight as our companion, the two of us sat at the same table. This scene was unexpectedly harmonious.

Li Xiaoyu had a sore shoulder, so she didn't find any topics to talk about.

Gu Fei was used to not talking while eating or sleeping. As long as Li Xiaoyu didn't talk to him, he wouldn't pretend to cooperate.

From time to time, the wind blew through the yard, startling the bamboos.

Suddenly, Gu Fei paused the chopsticks in his hand and tilted his head half an inch, as if listening to something.

Li Xiaoyu felt a little tired today and just wanted to finish her meal, boil some water, clean herself and have a good nap. She didn't notice Gu Fei's actions.

He didn't even notice what was happening outside the house.

At this time, the parrot sleeping on the beam flew in trembling and landed on Gu Fei's right hand side.

The little mouth yelled: "Idiot, I'm scared, idiot, I'm scared."

Hearing the little guy trembling, Li Xiaoyu stood up and saw that its feathers were trembling. She asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you so scared?"

I put down my chopsticks and walked to the door of the main room. Although the surroundings were not very bright under the moonlight, I could still see many trees.

Li Xiaoyu put her feet on the threshold, supported the door frame with her hands, and stretched her head to look left and right. While she was looking around, Gu Fei reached her left hand into the drawer of the table.

He pulled out a willow branch and put it into his sleeve.

After looking for a long time, the woman didn't find anything unusual. She turned her head to look at the little guy hiding in Gu Fei's arm.

He pursed his lips and comforted it in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, there's no one outside."

As soon as she finished speaking, the parrot screamed, "Here it comes... Here it comes."

Li Xiaoyu sighed helplessly. She walked towards Gu Fei and coaxed the little guy in a steady voice, "Don't be startled. There is really no one outside..."

Before she could even utter the word "人", a long knife suddenly pierced through her waist.

If Li Xiaoyu hadn't taken a few steps forward and dodged it accidentally, the long knife would have pierced through her abdomen.

Her pupils suddenly shrank and fear instantly took over her chest.

She turned around suddenly and a man seven feet tall with a slanted face, beard and drooping eyes appeared in front of her.

The long knife in the man's hand was in the moonlight.

The blade flashed a silver light.

The first time Li Xiaoyu met the murderer in person, he was so scared that his breathing almost stopped.

Her eyelashes trembled suddenly, and she came to her senses. Without time to think, when the man came at her again with a knife, she quickly ran to Gu Fei, grabbed him and pushed him into the room.

At the same time, he shouted to Gu Fei: "Hurry up and block the door with the cabinet."
