Xu Lu originally thought it was an illusion and a psychological effect, but she never thought that her face would turn red and her head would be steaming.
Not just on her head, but all over her body, wisps of white steam were coming out, which was steaming water vapor.
Chen Yang's blood was boiling all over his body, like a furnace pumping out energy.
In just a few breaths, Chen Yang stopped and turned back, and started picking up vegetables and eating like no one else.
Opposite him, Xu Lu was stunned.
She touched her clothes up and down and felt dry to the touch in disbelief.
The clothes, which were still wet, smelled like sunshine as if they had been left to dry in the sun all day.
"What are you doing standing around? Eat."
Chen Yang tapped her with his chopsticks, still looking disgusted.
"Yeah!"
Xu Lu didn't dare to think too much and picked up the bowls and chopsticks obediently.
After eating, Xu Lu didn't have any rest, and was immediately ordered around by Chen Yang to boil a pot of hot water and come back.
Chen Yang took the hot water and happily made a pot of tea using the small purple clay pot and tea leaves he brought with him.
After three rounds of tea, he spoke leisurely.
"Xu Lu, you are not from this village, are you?"
"ah?"
"Tell me, what happened to the scars on your body?"
"Ah~"
Xu Lu was confused.
Her first reaction was not how Chen Yang knew, but:
He saw it, he saw it!
"Is there anything you can't say?"
Chen Yang didn't receive any response and looked at her strangely.
"No, it's nothing!"
Xu Lu calmed down her emotions and talked about her own experience in as calm a tone as possible.
"I am indeed not from this village. I was trafficked."
"My home is in Bowang County..."
As soon as Xu Lu opened her mouth, she attracted Chen Yang's attention.
According to her, she was originally a poor person in Bowang County, and her brother was the only strong laborer in the family. No matter how hard she worked, the money she earned was barely enough to make ends meet.
Moreover, my brother has a bad temper, does not get along well with his neighbors, and cannot get help from others, making his life very difficult.
When Xu Lu said this, she also defended her brother.
It is said that they are all foreigners and the locals in Bowang County often bully them.
When they were escaping from famine all the way, it was only because of their brother's fierceness and fierceness that they were able to settle down in Bowang County alive.
The same is true in Bowang County. If it weren't for his brother's temper and how much others were afraid of him, they might have suffered more.
Then Xu Lu got to the point.
Her brother often went out to work for many days without returning home. Xu Lu not only had to take care of the family, but also went out to starch and wash clothes to make up for the family income.
It was while I was starching the clothes that something happened.
That day, she carried a large tub of dirty clothes and went to the creek outside the city to wash clothes.
Such a large tub of coarse cloth weighed half her body. She had to carry it all the way out of the city, wash it, carry it back, and send it back to each house. In total, she could earn a few cents.
At this point, Xu Lu was also working very hard.
Just this time, before she left Bowang County, she was targeted by several local gangsters.
At that time, Xu Lu felt something was wrong. With her cleverness and quick legs, she went around in circles and got rid of the gangsters.
She was so frightened that she ran to the creek where she often went to continue washing clothes. As soon as she arrived, she saw a few big and thick gangsters, looking at her with their arms folded and grinning ferociously.
They have been waiting for her there for a long time...
