In the dusk, the group of five sat around the small table and started dinner.
Looking around, Liu Mingxi felt unreal. Not long ago, she was still worried about her livelihood. In order to fill your stomach, I went up the mountain and climbed the trees, but I only picked two persimmons for half a day, but my only clothes were destroyed.
When I came back in the afternoon, this dilapidated temple, which was neither wind nor cold, was repaired and turned into a spacious room.
The small rosewood table in front of me was filled with seven or eight kinds of food, and several red mud stoves were boiled with hot water and stewed with big bone soup. Liu Mingxi actually had the illusion of settling down, but that was also someone else’s home, and she was clearly an outsider.
“Girl try this.” Madam Qi smiled and picked up a piece of braised venison into Liu Mingxi’s bowl. “You caught a cold today, eat some meat to nourish your body.”
“Thank you, Madam.” Liu Mingxi smiled back. She was already tender, and when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she looked even more childish and cute.
The little pillar opposite her was the servant who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had just glanced at him and his ears were red. Xiao Songzi didn’t raise her head and buried her head in the meal. He had the most energy today and was so hungry.
On both sides of Liu Mingxi are the young master and the aunt Qi. The young master is looking straight and quietly eating the food in front of him. His movements are not too fast and slow, and his elegant posture of the wind and bright moon are pleasing to the eye.
Madam Qi smiled and helped Liu Mingxi pick up food from time to time. At first glance, she looked very happy, and she looked like a family.
But the calm moments were always short, and the young master’s face darkened and he put down the celadon bowls and chopsticks in his hand.
The smiles on Madam Qi and Liu Mingxi’s faces gradually subsided.
Soon a burst of rapid and powerful footsteps sounded, and a rough man’s voice came from outside. “Everyone inside listened, leave the valuables behind, and rolled away quickly. Grandpa can spare your life.”
Xiaozhuzi and Xiaomatsuko both stood up suddenly.
Liu Mingxi has been chased a lot of times. As for the outcome, she basically has no good outcome. She can move. Now it is considered a lucky draw. She held her jade hand tightly with a slightly nervous look, subconsciously trying to take out the dagger in her boots.
But people have not come into the house yet, is it too early for her to raise her weapon now? After all, she doesn’t know martial arts. Isn’t it good to just expose her only self-defense weapon to people’s noses?
Just as she was hesitating, Xiao Matsuko rolled up her sleeves and rushed out, while Xiao Zhuzi used his small body to protect the table, fearing that people outside would rush in to be detrimental to her master.
The young master raised his finger and gently tapped the table two times, and the two crisp “tuk” sounds successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
The young master is very tall, it’s fine when you look from a distance, but when you get close, you feel a sense of oppression. Now he is sitting next to Liu Mingxi, even in his sitting position, he is one head taller than her.
Liu Mingxi never thought that when he looked at him, he would suddenly catch him like this, and her face was a little embarrassed.
Under the reflection of the fire, the deep eyes, as vast as a sea of stars, slid over by a little blurry color, as if the ink traces lingered in the water, turned into a misty moment, without a trace.
The young master Yun said calmly, “Sit down and eat!”
The wooden little pillar and Xiao Songzi bowed to him and replied in unison: “Yes.”
The young master continued to eat dinner quietly. He held the celadon bowl with one hand and held the porcelain spoon with the other hand and calmly drank the hot soup. There is no doubt that the young master has the best skin in the world, not only his face, but also his hands.
His knuckles are long and white, like Hsinchu that was drawn in July. The slender fingers are carved like white jade, and they are obviously the hands of an elegant man.
Liu Mingxi’s expression was slightly stunned, and the aunt Qi beside her patted the back of her hand as comfortedly. Liu Mingxi looked back and found that Madam Qi had a solemn face, but there was no panic on her face, and her heart calmed down.
The people outside were still yelling something, and Liu Mingxi had one ear in and out of the other. It seemed as if the people outside were not threatening them at all, but were singing boring dramas to relieve them.
Let’s talk about the people outside the house, they are much nervous now than the people in the house.
Speaking of which, they are not regular bandits, and they are usually serious farmers, but farming is not something that can lead to a good life by just enduring hardships. After all, it is also a job of making a living by God.
If the weather is beautiful and the weather is good, you can have a full meal.
If the weather is not good, then everything they do is useless.
In winter, not to mention, there is no land to plant if you want to farm, and there is no hunting to hunt. As the end of the year approaches, they have started working on side jobs. This place can only be regarded as a wilderness where birds can’t shit.
But there is a Shiquan Town less than a hundred miles away, which is bustling and prosperous, with countless merchants coming from south to north. There are always a small group of people who like to find another way, or accidentally come here by taking a break.
For example, these people in the temple.
So their opportunity came. In the afternoon, it had not yet snowed, and they saw smoke rising from afar. Their blood was immediately boiling. They gathered more than 30 people, brought hatchets, picked up stone axes and rushed over.
