In the early morning, Li Yao woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Aunt Yuan in his arms, still sleeping like a little pig, snoring so cutely that it made people laugh.

Li Yao got out of bed carefully, and then gently opened the old wooden door. The warm morning light immediately poured in, illuminating the originally dark room.

Li Yao breathed in the fresh and pleasant air and stretched his muscles outside the door. Not long after, he saw Yuan Er's wife Lin Shiniang walking towards him carrying a pottery basin. The clear water in the basin was bubbling.

The hot air was obviously prepared just now.

As soon as Lin Shiniang saw Li Yao, she immediately put on a friendly smile on her face, bowed slightly and followed Li Yao into the west wing.

Lin Shiniang first put the basin on the dressing table, and then patted the countertop with her hands. Aunt Yuan, who had had a good night's sleep, suddenly heard a loud slapping sound and jumped out of bed in shock.

Then the mother and daughter began to help Li Yao wash and dress up together.

Li Yao hates Yuan Er, but she doesn't hate his family as well. On the contrary, she especially admires this woman named Lin Shiniang.

Lin Shiniang not only has the charm of a mature woman, but is also very docile and diligent. If placed in future generations, she will definitely be a model of a good wife and mother, the type that all mature men will like.

Therefore, in Li Yao's eyes, such a woman marrying Yuan Er, a wretched man, can definitely be called "a flower with cow dung in it". Thinking about Yuan Erqian's business, is Lin Shiniang Yuan Erming's matchmaker?

The wife who came here is actually very difficult to tell.

After washing up, it was time for Yuan Er's family to have dinner. Although there was a saying of "three meals a day" as early as the Western Han Dynasty, most ordinary families in the early Tang Dynasty still maintained the practice of eating "big meals a day" in the early morning.

"Eating", the habit of eating "snacks" in the evening.

The staple food this morning is a kind of dry noodle cake called "Hanyu". This thing is the most common dry food in this era. It can be stored for several months in winter and spring without deterioration. Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of later generations in the north.

The common snack "sandwich" is far less crispy than "sandwich", and the taste is even bland, with only a little sweet and salty taste. With the soup made by Lin Shiniang using various dried wild vegetables and animal meat,

It doesn't taste too dry to the mouth and tongue.

Li Yao took a bite of the cold utensil, drank a sip of soup, chewed slowly, and swallowed slowly. There was no residue on the corner of his lips, and he barely made a sound. He behaved calmly and ate gracefully.

I remember when Li Yao dined with Yuan Er's family for the first time, Lin Shiniang specially assigned her a portion of staple food that was almost equal to that of Yuan Er's family of five, but unexpectedly, she didn't eat more than Yuan Er's.

, the rest were all given to the three children of the Yuan family, which made Yuan Er look puzzled at the time, as if he couldn't believe that Li Yao and the "white-fronted lady" who could swallow two huge fat fishes in one breath could be the same monster.

.

But Yuan Er didn't know that Li Yao was not an uneducated person. As long as he was not in a state of extreme hunger where he had not eaten for countless days, he would chew slowly and resume his normal food intake.

Moreover, although Li Yao is not a particularly picky eater, it does not mean that she likes to eat these boring and boring foods for a long time. She suspects that if she does not take action to improve the taste of the food, if she continues like this, her mouth will be completely different in two days.

A bird will really fade out of it.

After struggling to finish the tasteless breakfast, Li Yao decided to go out once, then returned to the west wing, picked up a cross sword, picked up a bow and arrow, then walked out of Yuan Er's house alone, and went straight to the place where she had caused a bloody scene.

Courtyard.

At this time, the courtyard door was wide open. After several nights of continuous spring rain, the blood stains on the ground in the courtyard had long since dissipated completely. Also missing were the six corpses originally lying on the ground, as well as several bodies with multiple wounds.

The big guy with the arrow and the man with a broken hand, it was as if the bloodbath a few days ago had never happened.

Everyone in the courtyard was gone. Li Yao tore open a quilt, took out the fluffy quilt, and made a simple cloth bag. Then he started to rummage through all the rooms in the courtyard. As long as he saw something he liked,

Things will be in your pocket immediately.

As long as there are places where humans live together, there will often be a gap between the rich and the poor, and Foggy Valley Village is no exception.

Even the items that had been abandoned and forgotten in this courtyard were worth far more than all the belongings of Yuan Er's family. Li Yao swept them all away and filled the bags full of cloths, among which Li Yao really wanted to

What makes Yao happy is that she accidentally found a few jars of seasonings and fine salt. In this way, she no longer has to worry about being a loser at Yuan Er's house.

Li Yao carried this big bag and just walked out of the hospital door when he saw Lin Shiniang standing by the corner holding a sand tray with an anxious look on her face, obviously she had been waiting for a long time.

The sand table is the stationery that Yuan Er's children usually use to practice calligraphy. Who would have thought that in such a harsh environment, Yuan Er, who looks like a dog, could actually be a good father who attaches great importance to the education of his children?

Even Li Yao found it very commendable.

Paper is an expensive commodity in this era, and Yuan Er's family cannot afford it. However, since the two parties used this sandbox, communication has become much more convenient. In addition, the other party is writing and reading at the same time. Over the past few days, Li

Yao has already mastered the pronunciation of nearly 5,000 characters in the Medieval Guanzhong dialect, and his progress can be described as rapid.

According to Lin Shiniang, Yuan Er suddenly felt abdominal discomfort after eating breakfast. After coming out of the Grain Reincarnation Hall, he could no longer straighten his back and now had to lie down on the bed to rest.

After hearing this, Li Yao felt a little guilty. She knew that this was the hidden injury caused by the kick she stepped on Yuan Er. Originally, she had not been out for several days and was about to go hunting in the forest to practice archery. At worst, she stopped by.

After collecting some more medicinal materials, he said on the spot that he could try to cure the waist injury, and casually stuffed the bulging cloth bag into Lin Shiniang's hands.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she heard Lin Shiniang say: "Madam, please stay, I still have something to say."

Li Yao turned around and saw Lin Shiniang looking shy. She opened her mouth but seemed to suddenly not know how to speak. She just put down the cloth bag and kept rubbing her wrist, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Li Yao noticed something strange about Lin Shiniang, took a glance at her, and saw very ugly scars on both wrists, which seemed to be caused by burning. He felt pity in his heart, and couldn't help asking with concern: "What's your injury?"

what happened?"

Lin Shiniang was startled, and then she quietly wrote on the sand table with a willow branch: "This slave was kidnapped by my husband."

Li Yao understood immediately and couldn't help but gnashed his teeth secretly: "Beast! It seems that I guessed it right. How can there be a woman outside this lair of a crappy bandit willing to marry into it!"

Lin Shiniang was startled by the sudden fierce expression on Li Yao's face, and hurriedly explained: "This is an injury caused by the slave himself. Besides, it is an old thing. Now that I have a son and a daughter, I don't want to think about anything else anymore."

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking that this rhetoric was a bit like a very familiar joke in his memory - fate is like rape, if you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy it.

Thinking of these words, Li Yao's expression darkened, and he felt that his fate was not the same, it was just that the method and circumstances were different.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shiniang suddenly sighed again, looked at Li Yao with sincere eyes that were mixed with eagerness, resentment, embarrassment, and wrote: "Madam, I know you have great powers, can you cure our Yuan Lang?"
