Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Xiao Lian, we can go down the mountain now. Let's find someone to carry the wild boar carcass and these three people down the mountain."

Shi Yan was physically exhausted at the moment. Even though her supernatural power made her as strong as an ox, her body was still weak. Her arms were shaking violently like sieves after moving the huge stone.

"Well, let's go down."

Although he was reluctant to let go of the person in his arms, the mountain was still dangerous, so Zhao Ze had to change his holding of the person and hold his beloved's hand, preparing to take them down the mountain quickly.

Zhao Zeren had just taken two steps when he felt a resistance from the hand holding the person. Turning back, he found that the little girl was still there, looking at him helplessly.

Shi Yan felt as if her legs weighed a thousand pounds. She used her supernatural powers to relieve the pressure, but found that there was nothing wrong with her legs. In the end, Shi Yan could only attribute the current situation to a problem with her original personality.

"Zhao Ze, I can't walk anymore."

Shi Yan's tone sounded a little pitiful, which sounded both pitiful and cute to Zhao Ze.

"Come on, get up, I'll carry you down."

Zhao Ze asked Shi Yan to lie on his back. He knew that the little girl had no strength in her hands at the moment, so he bent his waist as much as possible so that Shi Yan could lie steadily on his back without having to exert any strength.

The way down the mountain was not easy to walk on, and Zhao Ze's posture of carrying the person on his back was really tiring. When Zhao Ze reached the foot of the mountain with the person on his back, his back and legs ached, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Zhao Ze, I'm recovered now. Please put me down. I will walk home slowly by myself. You go to the threshing ground to call for help!"

The warm breath sprayed against his ears, making the already sweaty man sweat even more.

"it is good."

After separating from Zhao Ze at the foot of the mountain, Shi Yan slowly moved home alone. When she finally saw the shadow of the courtyard, she saw a figure hanging around in front of her courtyard gate.

"sister in law!"

"Jiaxue, why are you here?"

Liang Jiaxue has been on winter vacation for several days. Today, he followed his mother to the threshing ground to divide the grain. While his mother was cooking, he took a little bit of the grain he had received today, including coarse grains and fine grains, and put them into a bag and went to Shi Yan's house.

"The food was distributed today. I will send some to my sister-in-law. The weather is cold now, so I don't want my sister-in-law to go to the city for food."

"Sister-in-law, take this bag of food first. If you finish it, I will bring it to you."

"Now that my eldest brother is gone, as the only man in the Liang family, I naturally have to help my eldest brother take care of his sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, don't shirk it."

What the Liang family said was reasonable. Besides, they hadn't seen each other for a few months. The boy, who was originally about the same height as Shi Yan, had now grown taller and looked like an adult. In order to avoid someone gossiping and letting Widow Wang hear about it, he did not refuse.

"Jiaxue, come in and sit for a while. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Liang Jiaxue carried the bag of grain and followed the beautiful person into the lively courtyard. Smelling the rich fragrance of flowers, he really didn't want to leave, but he also didn't want to cause trouble for the owner of the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll light the stove for you. By the way, you can have some hot tea from me."

Liang Jiaxue moved very quickly. He brought the food into the house according to Shi Yan's instructions, then he lit the stove and filled the water tank before finally sitting down.

"Sister-in-law, how have you been recently? The New Year is coming soon. Have you prepared the New Year's goods? Why don't you come back home to celebrate the New Year? Anyway, the Liang family itself has a share of the eldest brother."

"No need. We have already separated and we have already agreed not to have any contact. Aunt doesn't like me very much either. It's New Year's Day, so I won't go and cause trouble for her."

The delicate person had a hint of melancholy between her brows. The lively feeling she had when we first met was now shrouded in sorrow, making people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Liang Jiaxue knew that he had said the wrong thing and it reminded the person in front of him of sad things. He felt guilty and anxious.

"Sister-in-law, I said the wrong thing. My mother has always been aggressive and always worries about me, so sometimes she acts too radically. Please don't take it to heart, sister-in-law."

"If my sister-in-law's family has any problems or needs any work done, just let me know. It's winter vacation now, so I have a lot of free time."

The man's tone was full of guilt. In addition, although Shi Yan was annoyed with Widow Wang, she was not afraid of her and had no feelings for the Liang family. Her so-called sadness was just in accordance with her character, so she waved her hand indifferently.

"It's okay, don't worry. If there's anything I can't do, the village chief's aunt will come over to help."

"But sister-in-law, the village chief's family is more or less an outsider. We are a family. I am helping sister-in-law..."

Liang Jiaxue felt uncomfortable with Shi Yan's words that showed her closeness to the village chief's family. He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he was interrupted by the sound of the courtyard door hitting the courtyard wall, followed by a hearty male voice:

"Xiao Lian, I'm back. The wild boar meat was divided up in the threshing ground. I specially picked out the tenderest parts. We're going to stew them all today!"

Zhao Ze was holding the wild boar meat still dripping with blood in his hand, with a look on his face as if he was offering a treasure. He didn't wait for Shi Yan's reply, and went into the house familiarly, took out a basin, a chopping board and a kitchen knife, and started to process the pork.

"Xiao Lian, I'll clean the pork, and you can cook it later. My mother's cooking skills are not as good as yours. This wild boar meat is our trophy, so you have to clean it carefully to celebrate."

Zhao Ze had been listening outside the yard for quite some time. He had long felt that Widow Wang's beloved son was hypocritical. He came up to her even though they had separated. He must have bad intentions, so he wanted to ignore him deliberately and let him see how close he was to Xiaolian.

The more Zhao Ze thought about it, the more active his mind became. Seeing his bloody hands from hammering the wild boar, Zhao Ze let out a very artificial "Ouch" and threw away the kitchen knife and meat in his hands.

"Zhao Ze, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Lian, I wasn't paying attention just now. Now my hand hurts when I use force."

As he spoke, Zhao Ze spread his injured hand in front of Shi Yan, and looked at Shi Yan's little expression as if seeking attention.

"Sit down, I'll take care of the wild boar meat. I'll grind the medicine for you, and you can wash the blood off your hands."

Zhao Ze felt so proud when he saw Shi Yan feeling sorry for him, especially since Shi Yan had touched his hand just now in order to see the wound on his hand clearly. He could still feel the touch of that soft little hand gently on the back of his hand.

He obediently scooped some water to wash his hands. Only then did Zhao Ze finally set his eyes on Liang Jiaxue's face. Seeing that he indeed looked unwell, he felt relieved.

"Jiaxue, why did you come to see Xiaolian today? Tell me, if there is anything I can help with, it's no problem for me to lend a hand!"

"fine."

Zhao Ze saw that Liang Jiaxue was uncomfortable, and Liang Jiaxue felt the same way. He thought that the little bully of the Zhao family had ill intentions towards his sister-in-law.
