At this time, the unlucky Lin Qi looked at the approaching Old Lady Xu. She opened the cage in front of Lin Qi and patted the cage to scare Lin Qi and let him come out.

Lin Qi's legs were numb and he couldn't move. He walked out slowly.

Old Mrs. Xu thought he did it on purpose, and just as she was about to reach out to pull Lin Qi, she was stopped by Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng leaned over, stretched out his big hand covered with thick calluses, grabbed Lin Qi's slender white arm, and brought Lin Qi into his arms. At this time, Lin Qi had been locked up for a long time, was dehydrated and hungry, and had no strength in his body. He could only lean on Jiang Zheng's arms.

Jiang Zheng picked up Lin Qi and carried him sideways. Lin Qi leaned weakly in the man's arms, his fair and pretty face wrinkled in discomfort. The boy was fair and tender, and soft everywhere. The man's big palm pinched Lin Qi through his clothes.

Seeing the boy in so much pain, he quickened his pace and soon arrived home. The man gently put the boy on the kang.

Lin Qi sat on the kang, feeling a little dizzy. The man handed Lin Qi a glass of water. Lin Qi took the water and sipped it. He raised his head and glanced at the man.

He had just heard the conversation between the man and the old lady, and knew that it was the man who bought him, so he looked at him warily.

Jiang Zheng was relieved to see that the boy was feeling better. Seeing that the boy was staring at him warily, he said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

You're not a bad person, so why are you trafficking in people?! Lin Qi thought so in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Seeing that the boy was still silent like a little hedgehog, the man continued to explain: "After a while, I will send you away."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately raised his head and said the first words he said after entering the dungeon: "Really?"

When the boy heard that he could leave the village, he hurriedly asked, the main task is to escape from the village or survive for seven days, so he will pass the level soon.

The man nodded and then said, "My name is Jiang Zheng. What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Qi. When will you send me away? Don't worry, I will return the money you paid for me, and I can even give you extra money." The boy's voice was soft and sticky.

"It will take some time before I can send you away. The village is about to hold a sacrificial ceremony and the village will be closed for seven days." The man explained.

Seven days? Isn't that the duration of the dungeon? Lin Qi felt a little disappointed. It seemed that the dungeon wouldn't let him take advantage of it so easily.

Seeing the young man's lost face, Jiang Zheng said to him comfortingly, "Don't worry, I will send you away after the sacrificial ceremony is over."

"Yeah," Lin Qi responded.

Jiang Zheng didn't know what was wrong with him. At first, Jiang Zheng was very resistant to buying a wife, but he couldn't resist his second uncle's urging, so he thought of just going through the motions. He never expected to meet the young man there.

From the moment he saw the boy in the cage, Jiang Zheng felt that he had fallen for him. The boy was as pretty as an elf, fair and tender. Jiang Zheng seemed to be bewitched at that moment and bought Lin Qi without any hesitation.

Looking at Lin Qi's pretty face, Jiang Zheng said, "You must be hungry. I'll go cook."

As he spoke, Jiang Zheng made the quilt, asked Lin Qi to take off his shoes and stay on the kang, then went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Lin Qi sat on the kang and looked around the house. Although the house was old, it was tidied up neatly by the man. There were not many furniture in the house, just a cabinet, a table, and a few stools, nothing else.

Seeing the man busy in the kitchen through the glass, Lin Qi felt a little embarrassed. Jiang Zheng bought him and wanted to send him away. Now he was eating and living in his house. He felt that he should help with cooking.

[What will you do?] The system asked.

"I'll find out if I go and take a look!" Lin Qi said to the system with a pout.

After saying that, Lin Qi got off the kang, opened the door and walked into the kitchen with his shoes on.

Jiang Zheng, who was lighting the fire, stood up and walked to Lin Qi and asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy looked at Yantai and whispered, "I, I'll help you cook."

The man frowned when he heard this, looked at her slender body, and then hugged Lin Qi back to the inner room. He pressed Lin Qi onto the kang and said, "No need, just sit here. I'll be there in a minute."

After saying that, Jiang Zheng returned to the kitchen and continued to work.

Lin Qi was bewildered. Seeing the man like this, he could only give up.

——Wife, just sit down. You can’t help much anyway.

——Let Jiang Zheng do it himself, and his wife is only responsible for eating.

——Hehe, rough guy? Little white flower.

——One more person upstairs, hehe, Jiang Zheng gets a bargain at night because he has to sleep with his wife, and Jiang Zheng only has one quilt.

——Then Jiang Zheng can’t get Shi Geng!

[System, look at what they are saying!] Lin Qi looked at the comments with a red face, irritated to death.

……

After a long while, Lin Qi smelled the fragrance of food. He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.

After a while, Jiang Zheng came in with the food. Lin Qi looked at the simple meal on the table and his stomach growled.

Lin Qi looked at Jiang Zheng a little embarrassedly. Jiang Zheng smiled and handed a peeled egg to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi took it and whispered, "Thank you."

After saying that, he started eating in small bites. Lin Qi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

[Delicious, system!] Lin Qi thought the food Jiang Zheng cooked was really delicious, so he picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw that Lin Qi liked the food he cooked, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

While they were eating, a male voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brother Jiang? Are you home?"

Jiang Zheng immediately stood up and went out. Lin Qi thought about it and decided to follow him out as well. He didn't want the man to hold him down in his seat and force him to continue eating.

Lin Qi: ...

The man walked into the yard, but didn't let the man into the house. He said to the man, "What's the matter?"

"There's a tour group coming to the village. The village chief asked me to call you to go pick them up."

Jiang Zheng frowned and said, "I see. You go first. I'll be there soon."

Just as the man who delivered the message was about to leave, he suddenly saw a pretty girl at the door, peeking at them. He was stunned for a moment because he had never seen such a pretty girl before.

Lin Qi saw the handsome stranger in the yard staring at him, and stepped back embarrassedly.

Seeing Song Cheng standing there and staring at the door, Jiang Zheng turned around and saw Lin Qi peeking at them, his face darkened.

Song Cheng heard that Jiang Zheng was going to buy a wife from Old Lady Xu today. He didn't expect that he could actually buy such a beautiful wife, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, is that my sister-in-law?"

"Okay, go ahead," Jiang Zheng responded, immediately walked back to the door, and took Lin Qi back to the inner room to continue eating.

Song Cheng's voice was too soft, and before Lin Qi could listen carefully, he was brought into the house by Jiang Zheng.

Song Cheng in the yard was stunned for a moment, then left with a red face.

In the room.

"Are you going out later?" Lin Qi asked Jiang Zheng.

The man hummed.

Lin Qi continued to ask: "Can you take me with you?"

"No, you have to stay at home." The man refused Lin Qi without thinking.

Lin Qi didn't give up and continued to beg, "I, I want to go too. I'm scared to go home alone." As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears.

According to his observation, Jiang Zheng was not a bad person. He was very nice to him. He cooked for him and asked Mao to send him away. He should be easy to talk to.

Sure enough, Jiang Zheng looked at Lin Qi's beautiful white face with tears on it and sighed: "You can go if you want, but you can't talk."

The man paused and explained, "There are a lot of bad people in the village. Don't pay attention to them. It's best not to talk to them."

When Lin Qi heard that he could go, he quickly nodded.

—Not allowed to speak? Huh, are you going to let outsiders think I’m a bought-in mute wife?

——This Jiang Zheng looks serious, but I didn’t expect...

——Just now in the yard, he was telling others that his wife was his daughter-in-law, bah!

——Seriously, another group of players is coming.
