Then, he said harshly to the Old Madam Xu at his side, "If anything happens to my sister, I will definitely not let your Xu Family go."

Old Madam Xu was truly intimidated by the young man's fierce gaze. Only after the young man left did she come back to her senses, and spat in disdain at the young man's back.

There was nothing much to see, so the people who were observing from afar also left.

Just as Cheng Xi was thinking that she could finally relax, she suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on her body, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably. Then, she noticed that the few people from Xu Family were staring at her with cold eyes.

Seeing this, looking left and right, she was almost done. Cheng Xi knew in her heart that it was not good, these people would not take advantage of no one to take care of her, right?

Looking at the Xu Family Member in front of him, who were glaring at him like tigers stalking their prey, Cheng Xi did not want to get into a fight with them. If these people were to really deal with her, even if she did not have any tools at all, she would definitely only be at a disadvantage.

Thirty-six ways to choose a strategy, Cheng Xi decided to slip away first. "There's a snake! "AHH!" "As Cheng Xi let out an exaggerated scream, she began to randomly run towards the ground where she was hiding.

Cheng Xi turned her head, and seeing that the Xu Family Member did not chase after him, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She sat on the edge of the field and muttered to herself, "How are we going to live our days from now on?"

Xu Sanlang heard the movements at Tian Kan's side, and raised his head to look, only to see Cheng Xi leisurely sitting at Tian Kan's side. Her brows slightly creased, and said: "If you don't want to starve, then hurry up and work."

When he thought about the snake he saw earlier, Cheng Xi's heart filled with panic. Who knew if there was anything messing around in the ground, Cheng Xi whose eyes were flickering opened his mouth and replied weakly, "Sss, my head hurts so much."

In the end, Xu Sanlang was still unable to accomplish his goal, and let Cheng Xi go down to work. However, Cheng Xi did not stay in the house, but chose to wear a straw hat and sat on a flat stone on the side of the field, counting the ants who were watching the scenery. Xu Sanlang worked on the ground alone.

Xu Sanlang was a good worker, it was as bright as the sun at noon. In this large piece of land, he managed to finish the task before nightfall, but at this time, Cheng Xi was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, he kept on drinking and kept on running to the toilet. Even if it was raw water, Cheng Xi did not care anymore.

Thinking about how Xu Family Member would look at him, Cheng Xi decisively dispelled the idea of going to the front of the house to get dinner. She obediently sat in front of the thatched cottage, waiting for Xu Sanlang to bring back dinner so she could eat something for him.

Seeing that the Old Madam Xu had actually come over to inspect the ground, and picked out a bunch of flaws, Cheng Xi curled her lips, and muttered to herself in sympathy: "Truly eccentric, is this my biological grandson?"

In the end, Xu Sanlang brought back two bowls of porridge. Four different gluten steamed buns that Cheng Xi had eaten last night, and Cheng Xi, who had starved for a whole day, couldn't care less about whether they tasted good or not, how the taste was, wolfed down a bowl of porridge and ate a mixed grain steamed bun. Seeing that she had only one steamed bun left, Cheng Xi hesitated for a moment before pushing it in front of Xu Sanlang.

Xu Sanlang raised his head to look at Cheng Xi, and without saying a word, he pushed the plate in front of Cheng Xi, and said while pushing it back, "I'm full, and don't have much to eat." After all, he did not do anything, so Cheng Xi felt too embarrassed to eat the last grain steamed bun. Xu Sanlang had done so much, so he decided to let him do it.

After finishing his meal, Xu Sanlang washed the bowls and chopsticks, then went to the front to give them another serving, Cheng Xi took advantage of Xu Sanlang's absence, and used cold water to wash up, changing his clothes. Seeing that Xu Sanlang did not return, he sat on the edge of the doorstep and looked at the stars in the sky, his heart thinking, is this sky the same sky as the place where he used to live?

The bed was covered with a blanket, while Cheng Xi laid on the other side of the bed, it was not polite at all. The blanket was completely over her body and she was wearing a short gown, but the current weather, was not too cold for Xu Sanlang.

As for the other things, Cheng Xi was not worried, with her small body, she was obviously still an undeveloped child. From the looks of it, she did not think that Xu Sanlang would do anything to her.

The two of them maintained silence. Cheng Xi had previously tried to talk to Xu Sanlang, but she seemed to not like to talk much. At most, she just gave an ugh and Cheng Xi wouldn't bother to talk anymore.

The night passed peacefully in silence. Because of the head injury, Cheng Xi was still a little dizzy, and quickly fell asleep.

When Cheng Xi woke up again, she was woken up by the sound of footsteps nearby. When Cheng Xi opened her eyes, the light that shone through the two slits in the window was still dim, it should still be dawn.

Seeing the tall figure that stood by the side, Cheng Xi's reaction was slow to the point that he rubbed his sleepy eyes. Only after seeing that the person sitting in front of the bed was Xu Sanlang, did he remember his current predicament, sat up and asked, "Why are you awake so early?"

After asking this question, Cheng Xi felt that the question she asked was a little idiotic, and she had forgotten the situation she was in.

As Cheng Xi expected, Xu Sanlang replied, "Do it."

Cheng Xi was still sitting blankly on her bed. Seeing that Cheng Xi had not moved, she said coldly, "Get up and follow me up the mountain to chop firewood."

Hearing that she had to go up the mountain to chop firewood herself, Cheng Xi was startled. Although she had lived in the countryside before, due to her health, her family never allowed her to do farm work with her hands even if she wanted to. Even if she went up the mountain with them, they would all be watching the adults chop firewood.

Xu Sanlang went out to wash his face. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, he saw from the door that the little girl was actually sitting on the bed in a daze, frowning slightly. However, after seeing this girl yesterday, apart from not knowing anyone, she was not stupid.

Cheng Xi saw a tall figure blocking the light outside the door, only then did she react and quickly got up, put on her shoes, and walked towards the door.

When the two of them went up the mountain, Xu Sanlang would glance at the girl who was looking around curiously from time to time. Thinking that she would ask around curiously about everything, as if she didn't know anything about this place, Xu Sanlang's thoughts were tangled up between being silly and not being foolish. Whether Cheng Xi was stupid or not, he could not really tell.

At the back, Cheng Xi did not have the strength to look around and ask Xu Sanlang, weakly following behind him, breathing heavily from time to time, "There's firewood here, let's chop it here."

Xu Sanlang did not speak, he only frowned and slowed down his pace.

Just when Cheng Xi felt that her feet were about to change from her to hers, Xu Sanlang finally stopped.

Xu Sanlang turned and said to the panting Cheng Xi: "Wait here, don't run around. I'll be back in a while." After that, he threw the basket down and left.

When Cheng Xi had eaten the delicious grilled pheasant, she finally understood why Xu Sanlang could still grow so robust under such circumstances, and also understood why Xu Sanlang had to run so far away. Seeing that Xu Sanlang was actually hiding salt on the mountain, it seemed that he had done this many times before.

At the same time that she admired Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi was also very moved in her heart. She wasn't close with his, but she was surprised that he brought him here.

After that, Cheng Xi sat on a rock and gnawed on a roasted pheasant while watching Xu Sanlang chop firewood quickly with a machete in hand. When Cheng Xi saw that the firewood she prepared for her was also carried on his back, Cheng Xi decided that before she was certain that she had not made the right path in the future, she would hold onto this thigh for the time being.

Going down the mountain was much easier than going up the mountain, but if she carried another bundle of firewood, Cheng Xi reckoned that he would be able to crush her to death. Fortunately the firewood was on Xu Sanlang, so she only carried an empty basket.

When they were halfway through their journey, they met a group of children who were half grown and cutting wood. When they saw them, one of the youths took out his voice and ridiculed them, "Yo, look at how Xu Sanlang really dotes on that foolish wife of his, he doesn't even let his silly wife carry him."

"He shouldn't be pampered. Besides a fool, who else would dare to marry him?"

"Haha, that's true."

Xu Sanlang did not even spare them a glance as he continued to walk with the firewood on his back. Cheng Xi was even more unconcerned with the sarcasm of the little kids and obediently followed behind Xu Sanlang. It was just that these people did not seem to want to follow their wishes.

The leading youth looked at the two people in front of him with disgust and said, "Leave the firewood behind."

Originally, he had lowered his head while carrying the firewood on his back, but the youth in front of him was still able to barely hold his head up high in arrogance in front of Xu Sanlang. When Xu Sanlang raised his head, Xu Sanlang was actually taller than him by a lot, and he still had to keep his head up high.

There were still a few brothers supporting him from behind, but the young man in the lead was not afraid of the tall Xu Sanlang. Seeing that Xu Sanlang had not moved at all, he opened his mouth again, "Did you hear that? Leave the firewood. "

Behind Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi saw that the few youths in front of him were obviously trying to snatch their firewood, but even though Xu Sanlang was standing there in a daze, he did not have any reaction. He slightly frowned and said, "We picked up the firewood, why did we leave it for you guys?"

"Yo, little fool, you actually know how to protect your wild man?" Don't you want to leave the firewood behind? "

Cheng Xi who was being teased frowned, trying her best to restrain her impulse to go up and beat the crap out of him, but she heard the other teenager who was blocking her path say in a frivolous tone, "Little fool, come, call me good big brother and listen to me, then crawl under this young master's crotch, this young master doesn't want your firewood, and even let you and your wild man leave, okay?"
