He couldn't tell exactly what was strange about the incident. The person was still the same person, but these words came from the mouth of a good friend he had known for more than ten years.

Very strange.

After separating from Xiaoyu, Li Fugui returned home.

He told Grandma Wang what happened today. Compared to his own weirdness, Grandma didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

"People change. It's possible that Xiaoyu changed after getting married."

Grandma Wang educated Li Fugui as she spoke: "But you, Xiaoyu is married now, you can't be so close to her like before, it's not good for her or you."

After listening to his grandma's words, Li Fugui thought it made sense.

He doesn't believe in ghosts or gods.

Although my friend is a little different now than before, she is indeed as brave as she said she was before.

She dares to fight with her father and can also protect her mother.

At first, he thought the little fish was just joking, but after secretly observing, he found that the little fish was not joking.

Watching Xiaoyu slowly change the way he lives and his life, he felt inexplicably irritated. His friend was making progress while he was standing still. This feeling was particularly bad.

Especially when Xiaoyu said, "Be careful or life will mess you up."

This sentence suddenly woke him up.

If the little fish, as a good friend, can change in the face of adversity, why can't he change?

Just like Xiaoyu said, his grandmother wanted him to be a man of integrity. If his good friend can change, then he can change too.

After much thought, he decided to find a job.

Unexpectedly, I became the carpenter's apprentice. It was similar to what Xiaoyu said. The carpenter really wanted me to marry his daughter, but I had no plans to get married.

After talking to his master, he was ready to be abandoned, but unexpectedly, things turned out well.

The master said that as long as he was willing to return to his hometown in the north to live, he could still learn this craft and he would not force him to get married.

I discussed it with my grandmother first.

He thought his grandmother would not agree, but unexpectedly she was more open-minded than him.

He shared the good news with his friends as soon as possible and wanted to take her and Gu Fei with him. When Xiaoyu said she didn't want to go, Fugui felt a little sad.

After all, I have to separate from my friends.

He never thought that such a thing would happen to Xiaoyu while he was learning the craft.

As people grow up, they seem to slowly start to get used to separation.

When his grandmother passed away, it was the first time that Fugui faced separation. In the dead of night, he stood alone in the mourning hall, with every smile and frown of his grandmother when she was alive emerging in his mind.

Although it had only been a few days since his death, Fugui felt that the person in his mind was becoming a little blurry.

On the day of his grandmother's funeral, he stood in front of the grave for a long time.

Later, Xiaoyu gave him a portrait. It was a portrait of Grandma Wang. It was very three-dimensional, and her wrinkled face was filled with a smile.

It's like grandma hasn't left yet.

Xiaoyu and I went to the north and gradually settled down there. At the beginning, we were not used to the climate and both of us had nosebleeds many times.

People are highly adaptable and once they get used to something, they can adapt to any environment.

He just wanted to be a carpenter. On his way home from work, he met a group of bandits. He rescued a woman. The girl was very pretty. When he saw her, Li Fugui's heart inexplicably beat a little faster.

As soon as his face turned red, the woman said with a trembling face: "Thank you for saving my life, benefactor. My name is Ding Jing. You saved my life. I have no way to repay you, but to pledge my love to you. I hope you will not despise me."

"What?"

Li Fugui likes to speak in dialect when he gets excited.

He was shocked. Just by saving a person, he got a wife?

He didn't even dare to think about giving him two slaps.

He rejected her in horror: "Girl, you misunderstood. I just happened to meet you. I never thought of asking you to marry me. Please go away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Jing lowered her head and sobbed softly.

She is born charming, and when she is sad she looks tearful.

"Now I am the only one left. If you don't want me, I have nowhere to go. Or do you think you dislike me?"

Li Fugui had never encountered such a thing before, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.

He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and his usually clear voice became helpless: "I don't really dislike you."

"Then why doesn't the benefactor want me?"

"We've only known each other for less than half an hour, and suddenly there's another wife. I can't react."

Ding Jing looked at him with a tearful face, always taking the initiative in her words: "Don't worry, my benefactor. Let's spend a few days together and then you can decide whether to marry me or not."

This question left Li Fugui speechless.

He admitted that Ding Jing had a crush on him, but he was not so far from being attracted by her beauty.

After refusing, he hurriedly left with his things.

He took a step and Ding Jing followed. He walked faster and faster. The footsteps behind him were neither fast nor slow. He thought he had left her behind.

When I turned around, the man was only five steps away from me.

He thought he had encountered a ghost, but when he walked into the city, the sun was shining on his body. He looked back and saw Ding Jing still following him. He was sure that he had not encountered a ghost.

Seeing the girl following him pitifully, he felt a little conflicted.

I also remembered what my grandma once said: don't be greedy for small gains, recognize your own identity, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Thinking of this, he trotted forward with the carpenter's box on his back.

The only inn in the city was built next to the brothel, and he walked into the inn without looking back.

When checking in, he took a look outside.

Ding Jing stood there alone, her beautiful appearance attracted the attention of passers-by. She was looked at like an object, and this look made Li Fugui very uncomfortable.

Thinking of what his grandmother said, he hardened his heart and went upstairs by himself.

I put down the box and lay down on the bed. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a quarrel coming from downstairs.

"Oh my, what a pretty girl! Why is she standing here alone? If you don't have any family, why don't you come sit in our building?"

"That's right, girl. There are many beautiful girls in our building. You won't be lonely if you have them as your sisters."

"Girl, come with me."

"I won't go with you, let me go," Ding Jing's gentle voice came into Li Fugui's ears.

I took a deep breath, perhaps because my conscience was bothering me.

He turned over and stood by the window looking down. Ding Jing was like a sheep, unwilling but weak, so she was forcibly dragged towards the brothel.

During the struggle, she accidentally looked towards the second floor.

That charming face was full of stubbornness, and she almost cried out, "My benefactor, save me."

Li Fugui really suspected that he was blinded by lust.

Otherwise, why would he rush over like a reckless bull and pull Ding Jing back to the room.

As soon as he returned to his room, he regretted his impulsiveness.

I sat on the stool until the evening. Just as I was about to speak, a hungry sound broke the awkwardness. I raised my eyes to look at the source of the sound.

Ding Jing said timidly: "I'm sorry, benefactor, I didn't eat."

Li Fugui was a little confused, and he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Let's go eat."

After dinner, he wanted to book a room for Ding Jing alone.

Ding Jing pulled his sleeve and whispered, "My benefactor, I'm afraid of revenge from those bandits. Can I sleep in the same room with you? I can sleep on the floor."

Li Fugui was sure that he was blinded by lust, otherwise why would he agree to her.
