The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Madam Liu, who was still taking care of Liu Gen in the room, had no idea how Liu and Liu Yaozu were plotting against her behind her back.

Li Xi, who had already left Shijing Village, looked at the two familiar people in front of him and fell silent.

Hu Zi threw himself on Li Xi's legs with red eyes, hugged her waist, and slid his tears down his cheeks onto her clothes. "Sister, does mother not want us anymore?"

Li Xi glared at the man who was watching the fun on the side. The reason why she didn't let Hu Zi come was because she didn't want him to see the scene just now, but he was a troublemaker.

"No, I'm just staying there for a few more days and will be back." Li Xi smoothed Hu Zi's hair, "Come on, sister will take you home."

On the way back, Hu Zi silently held Li Xi's hand. Li Xi glanced at the person next to him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"No."

"is it?"

"Ah."

"It doesn't look like it." He is energetic enough to come out and watch the fun, so he must be almost recovered.

"I'm just pretending and holding it in." Gu Jingzhi didn't plan to leave yet.

"Hmph." Li Xi snorted coldly. He had already given the money, so let him do what he wanted.

The road was empty in the afternoon. Gu Jingzhi stopped at the entrance of the village and turned left into a small road. Li Xi ignored him and pulled Hu Zi into the village.

The people under the big tree at the entrance of the village were waiting for Li Xi. When they saw her coming, their eyes lit up.

"Hey, why hasn't Madam Liu come back yet?" The person who spoke stretched his neck to look behind Li Xi.

When Li Xi approached, Aunt Ma asked, "Daya, where is your mother?"

"My mother is going back to her parents' home to stay for two days."

Li Xi had put away the blood-stained machete. She didn't look any different now, except that Hu Zi's eyes were red.

"Hey, why are Hu Zi's eyes so red? Did he cry just now?" asked a curious person.

Li Xi: "Oh, Huzi is still young and can't bear to leave my mother, so he cried."

Others wanted to ask more questions, but Li Xi didn't want to listen to their gossip about her anymore. "Aunts, you guys can chat. Hu Zi and I will leave first. We still have some work to do at home."

"Hmm, let's go."

……

On the way home, Hu Zi still kept his head down and said nothing. Li Xi looked down at him and tightened her grip on his hand.

"Huzi, you are already a big kid. You have to know that everyone has different ideas. We can't control other people's ideas. We can only respect them. Do you understand?"

Hu Zi raised his head and looked at Li Xi eagerly, "Can it be changed?"

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that the other party is willing." Li Xi didn't want to ruin Liu Niangzi's image in Hu Zi's mind, "For Niang, the Liu family is also her family.

Just like you, me and my mother, it is understandable that she wants to protect the Liu family, but the prerequisite is that she cannot protect the Liu family by treating us unfairly.

After all, the Qian family's surname is Li, not Liu."

Hu Zi looked at Li Xi in confusion. He seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand.

"Okay, don't think about it. I got the meat back. We'll have a good braised pork tonight."

"What is braised pork?" Although he didn't know what braised pork was, it didn't stop Hu Zi from drooling after hearing these three words.

"Very delicious meat." Li Xi said perfunctorily, "You'll know when the time comes."

After Li Xi took Hu Zi home, she saw Gu Yin sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

He has been forcing himself to stay in his room these days because he sees that there are only three of them at home and he is indulging himself.

Gu Yin heard the footsteps of Li Xi and Hu Zi without even opening his eyelids. The sunlight fell on his body and he just felt warm. He hadn't felt this relaxed for a long, long time.

He must enjoy it, because there won't be many days like this after he returns.

Li Xi ignored Gu Yin who was basking in the sun in the yard. She had not yet collected the herbs she had picked in the morning. If she didn't clean them up before daybreak, she would have to light a lamp and stay up late.

Li Xi coaxed Hu Zi, whose eyes were swollen from crying, into the house to sleep, then took the backpack and started to work. After finishing, she swept the floor again.

While she was busy, Gu Jingzhi had been sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Li Xi, who was busy with work, looked at Gu Yin's leisurely appearance and couldn't help gritting her teeth.

I work like a farmhand, while he works like a rich landlord.

Gu Jingzhi closed his eyes. Although he couldn't see Li Xi's expression, he could feel the strong gaze directed at him.

Gu Jingzhi raised the corner of his mouth, sat up and opened his eyes, "Miss Li is really hardworking."

Li Xi: ...This person is just making sarcastic remarks, right? Right!

"Your wounds should have almost healed. When are you leaving?"

For Li Xi, Gu Jingzhi is a time bomb. She doesn't know his identity, nor does she know who wants to kill him. In order to avoid being implicated, the best way is to let him go quickly.

"Don't you want to know who I am?" Gu Jingzhi was quite curious about Li Xi. For so many days, she had never asked about her identity. A girl who grew up in a village did not feel embarrassed at all to face a strange man, and she was extremely bold.

"No." Li Xi put down the broom, "Curiosity kills the cat."

"Curiosity kills the cat? What does that mean?" It was the first time that Gu Jingzhi heard this saying. Is it a proverb here?

"The meaning is not important. Who you are has nothing to do with me. Just leave after you recover. We will go our separate ways from now on. I'm afraid we won't see each other again."

"Really?" Gu Jingzhi curled his lips, "But I think we will still meet for a long time in the future."

"Oh? Really?" Li Xi glanced at the location of his wound and figured out something.

Gu Jingzhi noticed the direction of Li Xi's eyes and smiled, "I already knew that Miss Li was a smart person. In that case, let's get straight to the point."

"You want medicine for your wounds."

"Miss Li's medicine for injuries is truly top-notch, and is even more effective than the secret medicine in the palace."

Li Xi: Secret medicine from the palace. It seems that Gu Yin’s identity is indeed extraordinary. He has so many injuries on his body and can spend a lot of money. How could he be an ordinary person?

"If you want to cooperate with me, you have to follow my rules." Li Xi pulled over a stool and sat opposite Gu Jingzhi.

"Oh? I wonder what Miss Li's rules are?" Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi with a smile.

Li Xi rolled her eyes. Why was this guy smiling at her? This couldn't be a beauty trap. Looking at his face covered with bruises and bruises, he should just give up.

"The first method is that I provide the finished medicine and you charge me 15 cents per bottle. The second method is that I only provide the recipe and you pay me 2 cents for each bottle you make."

Li Xi gave two methods. The first one would require her to endure some hardship, but the income would be considerable. The second one was easier, and she just had to sit back and wait to collect the money.

"Which one do you choose?"
