Gu Fei sat on a bench with his left hand on the table. His upright posture was calm and elegant.

His thin lips twitched: "You should be more worried that I will kill you."

Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips, looked down at the dagger in his hand, hesitated, and asked: "Then why don't you kill me?"

In Gu Fei's eyes, Li Xiaoyu could not stir up any trouble. He said calmly, "If they kill you, they will continue to send people here. I like quietness. It's noisy enough with you. If another group comes, I'm afraid your village will be implicated."

Li Xiaoyu finally understood.

He didn't mind killing these people with a purpose.

He cares about killing innocent people.

After thinking for a moment, she asked a question she had always wanted to ask, "Husband, if that's the case, you're not short of money. Anyway, you plan to keep me for the time being."

She put the dagger back to her waist and rubbed it shamelessly between her thumb and index finger.

"You are injured, you need to eat something good. The food we eat is too rough now. Do you think you can..."

We are all smart people, and now it is very clear.

Gu Fei tilted his head to look at her, smiling faintly, "Want some money?"

"Yeah," Li Xiaoyu grinned.

The next moment, Gu Fei put away his smile and said, "Sell the dagger and you will have money."

Looking down at the exquisite little dagger on his waist, Li Xiaoyu refused without a second thought: "I like it, I won't sell it."

Hearing her say that she liked him, Gu Fei narrowed her eyes slightly.

He paused for a moment, then said indifferently: "That's your business."

That means no extra money will be given.

Li Xiaoyu pouted and snorted in his heart, with a subtle temper in his calmness: "I'm going out."

Gu Fei would never say go early and come back early.

I listened to her opening and closing the door, and the sound of her footsteps gradually fading away.

The man limped out of the main room. He stood on the steps and looked in the direction where Li Xiaoyu left.

A picture emerged in his mind.

It was Li Xiaoyu who was mumbling, eating buns while carrying a basket on his back and cursing himself inwardly.

It was clearly his own imagination, but he sneered, "Childish."

At this time, the naive Li Xiaoyu finished eating the bun in her hand, and she broke off a branch and played with it like she was practicing swordplay.

Waving and complaining.

"Lululu, if you have the guts, chase me out of the house and kill me."

It was not market day, so people would not get up early. She was the only one in the village who went out in the dew.

She walked along the path, wantonly expressing her childishness.

Seeing a small stone on the ground, she mistook it for Gu Fei and kicked it away.

Although this behavior may seem childish to others, she feels very comfortable.

This time, she did not go to the city to sell the buns. Instead, she went in the opposite direction, where there were more people in the village.

As she walked, she shouted: "Big meat buns, delicious and not sticky~"

"If you pass by, don't miss it."

She sold as she walked, and she sold a lot of steamed buns and dumplings for the whole morning. In the afternoon, her throat could no longer bear it.

As soon as she arrived at Dalin Village, she would cough for a while after shouting.

I coughed up tears.

Rolling up her sleeves to wipe away her tears, she looked around with red eyes and realized that she had arrived at the village where her eldest sister got married.

She had planned to sell all the food in her basket and then go home.

I didn't expect to go this far.

The village where my eldest sister Li Xiaoyan married is four villages away from Wangou Village, and the villages are also far apart from each other.

So on the day she and Gu Fei got married, Li Xiaoyan did not come back.

"Now that you're here, go see her."

She muttered something in a hoarse voice, endured the discomfort in her throat and continued to shout slogans, then walked towards her brother-in-law's house.

My eldest brother-in-law lives in the mountains. He has six brothers and two sisters.

In order to raise money for Li Guangchang to marry a wife, Li Wu forced his eldest sister to marry her to his brother-in-law regardless of her wishes.

In order to raise money for him to marry his eldest sister, his eldest brother-in-law's family married off his two younger sisters.

This kind of thing is like a closed loop and happens everywhere.

Carrying the backpack all the way up the mountain, Li Xiaoyu frowned slightly when he saw the large courtyard of the thatched house.

When my eldest sister got married, their whole family lived in this big yard.

A few years have passed, and I don’t know whether my eldest sister-in-law’s younger brothers have separated from the family. If they have, it would be good, and my eldest sister would be able to live an easier life.

He took a deep breath and continued to climb.

Suddenly, a clear and excited voice came from behind: "Third sister."

Li Xiaoyu looked back and saw a woman in coarse linen clothes running towards him, holding a baby boy about one year old in her arms.

There was a little girl who was slightly older than Li Mei following her.

When they ran to him, Li Xiaoyu saw that the eldest sister's clothes were all patched and her sweet face had become rough.

She is only twenty-three years old.

For some reason, Li Xiaoyu suddenly felt a sour sensation in his nose.

Suppressing the bitterness in her throat, she smiled and called out, "Big Sister."

Li Xiaoyan hadn't seen her ignorant third sister so well-behaved for a long time.

She habitually touched her sister's head like she did when they were children, but she found mud on her hands and was afraid of dirtying her hair, so she withdrew her hand.

Noticing that she was withdrawing her hand, Li Xiaoyu lowered his waist slightly and put his head in front of her.

He smiled heartlessly and said, "Big sister, feel me and see if I have grown taller."

Looking down at her sister's clear eyes, Li Xiaoyan hesitantly put her hand on her head and stroked it twice like a mother.

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Our little fish has grown taller again, and is now as tall as her elder sister."

Knowing that Li Xiaoyu had just gotten married, Li Xiaoyan was afraid that her crying would ruin her sister's joy, so she moved the child in her arms closer to Li Xiaoyu.

Then he pushed the little girl who was feeling a little awkward next to him towards her.

"Xiaoting, call me auntie."

The little girl felt a little embarrassed when she saw a stranger. She hid behind her elder sister and did not call Li Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyan could only smile awkwardly.

"Third sister, last time you got married, I had something going on at home and couldn't leave. I couldn't come back to see you off. Don't blame me, eldest sister."

A one-year-old baby should be chubby, but the child in the eldest sister's arms is thin and dark. The little girl is obviously older than Li Mei, but from this perspective, she is even thinner than Li Mei.

"Sister, I won't blame you. If there was nothing wrong at home, why didn't you come to see me?"

Before Li Xiaoyan got married, she did the most housework, even if she was just a cow.

He put down the backpack, took out a few meat buns from it and handed them to the little girl. It's embarrassing to say, but in the original owner's memory, she only came once when the eldest sister got married, and never came again.

So she didn't know the little girl's full name.

Li Xiaoyan was taking something out of her arms. When she saw Li Xiaoyu giving buns to the child, she quickly refused.

"Third sister, it's not easy for you to run a small business. I heard from my second sister that your husband is a lame blind man. It's hard for you to support two people by yourself."

"You can sell the buns, so the kids will have enough to eat."

If someone told him that the two kids were chubby, Li Xiaoyu would believe it.

But these two children looked malnourished and looked like they were about to faint from hunger.

She simply forced the bun into the little girl's arms.

"Sister, I have other income besides selling buns, you don't have to worry about my livelihood." She paused and looked back at the thatched courtyard on the mountain.

"But you don't seem to be having a good time here."

Li Xiaoyan took out a purse from her bosom, which contained eight copper coins. She gave all of them to Li Xiaoyu.

The smile seemed happy but was actually bitter: "I'm doing well here. My eldest sister didn't give me any gifts for your wedding. This is all the money I have now. Don't despise me, third sister. When my eldest sister saves enough money, I'll make you a new set of clothes."

She is good at sewing clothes.

While they were talking, the little girl was eating a meat bun and looked up at Li Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you, auntie."

The latter heard the little girl's sweet words, lowered his head and smiled at her, "You're welcome. If you don't have enough after eating, your aunt has more."

After saying that, she looked at Li Xiaoyan and returned the money in her hand to her.

He then took out a few dozen coins from his purse and handed them to her, "Sister, I can make money, you can keep this money and buy some food for the children."

Looking at the copper coins in her hand, Li Xiaoyan refused to take any money. "You earned this with hard work. I can't take it."

"You take it."

Just as the two were declining, a man with loose clothes and a fat face walked down the mountain path.

Seeing the copper coins in Li Xiaoyan's hand, his eyes lit up and he said greedily, "Wife, Third Sister gave me the money out of love for you, so just keep it."
