Shuangxi looked back reflexively, only to see Shen Yan looking at her with a straight face, and uttering a sentence without any tone: "You're so stupid, I'll do it." In just four words, the meaning expressed was so obvious. But that's it.
Shuangxi hummed softly, stood up from his crouching position, leaned against the wall on one side, and watched Shen Yan put firewood into the stove.
The flames in the stove shone brightly, illuminating Shen Yan's face. It was said that a gentleman cooks far away from home. Such a low-level job in the eyes of other men was something that even men in the countryside would not bother to do. Shen Yan did it with so much enthusiasm. A touch of elegant warmth.
His angular face, illuminated by the fire, looked like a Greek god. Although he was thin, it did not affect his magnanimity. Such a man looked like a hidden dragon, and sooner or later he would soar into the sky. !
Shuangxi was a little confused when he saw Shen Yan like this. He shook his head in his mind, trying to shake off the thoughts that he shouldn't have in his mind.
At this time, Shen Mo had already arrived in the hot spring cave. Shen Ziyan was chopping firewood outside the cave. Shen Bingxian was naturally in the sultry cave.
In the past few days, Shen Bingxian's condition has been better than before, but it is still worse than when Shuangxi first came to the Shen family.
"Brother! I'm here!" Shen Mo's voice was full of joy.
Shen Ziyan put down the half-rusty hatchet in his hand and looked up at Shen Mo. His short coat was slightly soaked with sweat, and his sleeves were slightly rolled up on his arms.
"Third brother." Shen Ziyan's usual voice is like the deep lake water, warm and calm.
"Brother! Our new house has been built! Xi'er and the second brother asked me to take you and the fourth brother back!" Shen Mo said in a series of crackling words.
When Shen Ziyan heard the news, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and then he asked the question he was most concerned about: "Have the fire wall... and the fire kang been built? How is it?" When he asked, he had a smile on his face. A faint hint of expectation.
Shen Mo smiled innocently and brightly: "Our wife's idea will naturally come true!"
When Shen Ziyan heard the news, the smile on his face gradually widened, and he said to Shen Mo with a smile in his eyes: "Go tell your fourth brother."
Shen Bingxian was sitting in the cave, still holding the carving knife in his hand, carving something carefully. Take a closer look. The long flowing sleeves, the long hair with splashes of ink, and the layers of flowers on the hem of the clothes were carved. A girl.
Just because there are no carved eyes, I can't tell who it is, but I can tell from the clothes and demeanor that this must be a beautiful girl!
When Shen Mo and Shen Bingxian told them the news that they could go home, a smile appeared on the face of this frail young man.
"Third brother...is this true?" came an ethereal voice with a hint of disbelief.
"Of course it's true!" Shen Mo said firmly.
Shen Bingxian's hands trembled slightly. He had lived in this dark cave for a long time, and suddenly he could move to the sunshine. Suddenly he could live with his family, and there was that elf-like person. The double happiness that broke into his life made him slightly panicked, but after the panic, a smile actually appeared on his face.
"Fourth brother! Are you laughing?" Shen Mo asked in disbelief.
At this time, Shen Bingxian bent his eyes slightly, like a crescent moon, with bright light in his eyes, and said to Shen Mo: "Third brother, I am so happy."
There was a hint of warmth in Shen Bingxian's ethereal voice.
Shen Mo also smiled: "I'm happy too."
Shen Ziyan carefully wrapped Shen Bingxian in a quilt and placed it on a newly made wooden frame. The two of them carried Shen Bingxian out of the mountain like a stretcher.
Shuangxi stood at the door and looked around. When he saw Shen Ziyan and Shen Mo coming down the mountain, he took two steps forward to meet them.
Shen Bingxian, who was wrapped in a quilt, heard Shuangxi's clear and beautiful voice saying: "Hurry up and get in the house, don't let the cold get to your fourth brother." Shen Bingxian felt that although her body was cold, a warmth surged through her heart.
Shen Ziyan and Shen Mo put Shen Bingxian into the small room and slowly opened the quilt. Shen Bingxian's eyes lit up. It was very warm in this room, not colder than the cave, and it was very dry here. He
Before I had time to observe the structure of the house, I first saw the light blue figure standing at the door.
She has gained a lot of weight, her face has become rosy, and she has a hint of beauty. Although he has never seen other girls, he feels in his heart that Xi'er must be the best girl!
When Xi'er said that she was going to cook for everyone, Shen Bingxian took a closer look at the house. Although the house was not very big, it was much better than the dark cave.
He reached out and touched the warm Kang and the wall, with deep admiration in his eyes.
Now that most of our houses have been built, even Liu Yi, the Holy Father, will not continue to give out porridge.
The Shen family can only cook for themselves now. This time they did not eat the glutinous porridge made from wheat bran. At any rate, this can be regarded as a housewarming celebration for their family. Shuangxi made whole grain porridge.
Although it is not as good as white flour and polished rice, it is much better than the mushy porridge made from wheat bran.
The happiest thing for Shuangxi was that Shen Yan actually dug out half a tael of silver and bought an iron pot! In the future, he no longer had to make a fire to cook like the primitive people.
When the Shen family was about to start eating, they heard a call from outside the house: "Are the Shen brothers at home?"
"Yes!" Shen Mo is always the most positive one, and can also be said to be the least stable one.
At this moment, everyone except Shen Bingxian was in the big room. After Shen Mo opened the door, he saw the short and fat Zhao Lichang walking in first, followed by Liu Yi and Shi Shi.
The one who followed last was Zhao Hu.
Liu Yi wore a light blue Confucian robe today, with a white jade pendant hanging on the robe. The clothes were embroidered with bamboo patterns, with a light smile on his face. At this moment, his eyes were like the bright moon.
Shuangxi swept across his body.
There seemed to be a kind of power in that gaze, making Shuangxi feel as if he was bathed in warm sunshine.
At this time, Shen Ziyan, the head of the family, spoke up: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" Why did Zhao Lichang and Mr. Liu come to his home? Could it be that they discovered that their family had no place of origin at all? Now they are imposters?
But looking at the smile on Zhao Li Chang's face, it doesn't look like that. If this matter is exposed, then Zhao Li Chang will definitely not have this expression.
Just when Shen Ziyan was thinking about this, Zhao Li smiled and said: "Brothers of the Shen family, I came here today because I have something to ask."
Shen Ziyan asked, "What's the matter?" He didn't agree to answer the question immediately. He had taken care of his brothers for a long time, and as the head of the family, he inevitably had to consider a lot.
Zhao Lichang secretly admired Shen Ziyan. He didn't have much contact with this man, but he didn't expect that he could speak so well.
At this time, Liu Yi spoke: "I came here this time to ask about the fire kang and the fire wall." As soon as he entered the room, he felt the warmth here, and it was indeed the same as what he said outside.
Liu Yi used the word "ask for advice". For a person of Liu Yi's status, being able to say these two words is enough to show his respect for others.
The Shen brothers already had a good impression of this kind-hearted county magistrate, so they would naturally answer this innocuous question.
When Shen Ziyan solved the problem of the fire bed and the fire wall, Liu Yi had a look of admiration on his face!
I couldn't help but praise: "What a wonderful idea!"
At this time, Shen Mo couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Of course, this is what my wife is thinking."
Liu Yi looked at the woman in blue standing in the corner. He had seen her many times, and every time she gave him a surprise that was different from ordinary women.
Shuangxi naturally noticed Liu Yi looking at him and looked straight back.
Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In this rural place, there can be such a woman! She is neither humble nor arrogant, neither flattering nor humiliating.
Shen Ziyan glanced at Shen Mo, and Shen Mo shut up. He didn't know why his elder brother was unhappy, but he knew that his elder brother didn't want him to mention his wife again.
But Shen Mo's words had already been spoken, and Liu Yi said with a smile: "Madam Shen is really a smart person."
Shuangxi admired Master Liu from the bottom of his heart and was very happy to be praised. He said, "Master Liu, you praised me." There was no pretense of a little girl.
Liu Yi asked: "I wonder if the construction method of this fire kang can be passed on?"
Shuangxi was a little surprised when Liu Yi asked this question, because she didn't treat the fire kang technology as a secret in the first place, and had already guessed that someone would definitely learn it.
Liu Yilai asked himself, it was completely unnecessary, but it was this unnecessary act that made Shuangxi know that Liu Yi was really the Holy Father!
As a county magistrate, wouldn't it just spread out if it spread? Now if you ask yourself this, it is really respect for yourself.
Shuangxi nodded without any hesitation: "This thing that benefits everyone should naturally be spread."
Liu Yi looked at Shuangxi and smiled, then said to Fifteen: "Fifteen."
Just calling Shi Shi's name, Shi Shi took out two ingots of silver from his arms. This ingot of silver weighed ten taels!
Twenty taels of silver reached out and handed it over. Of course, this money was given to Shuangxi. Shi Fifteen had been following Mr. Liu for a long time, so he naturally knew that as long as Mr. Liu liked someone, there was no distinction between men and women.
She will never belittle Shuangxi just because she is a woman.
Shuangxi did not reach out to take the money. Although it was a pie-in-the-sky thing, she was still a little uneasy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
