Blue bricks and yellow mud.

The walls are cracked in some places and collapsed in others.

The window is drafty.

Fortunately, the roof tiles were still intact.

Before, if you sat inside the house without a fire, the cold wind blowing in from the windows and walls alone could freeze you solid.

The house was bare, with nothing of any decent furniture except for a bookcase!

But according to Ajiu, this Jia Xiucai seems to hate reading.

If he didn't like reading, then how did he become a scholar?

Forget it, that poor guy's dead anyway, so none of this matters anymore!

"Lang Jun."

A call brought Jia Daoshi back to his senses.

The girl in the sunlight had clear, watery eyes that revealed a pure and beautiful innocence that was captivating.

Such a beautiful woman, living under the same roof for so long, is still a virgin!

"My lord, dinner is ready."

"Well, here we come."

Jia Daoshi entered the house, and Ajiu had already placed the food on the table.

Besides the roasted pork, there was only a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

There's also a bowl of rice.

The rice even contained tiny bits of rice bran.

Jia Daoshi sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This life is tough!"

He had just sat down at the table when Ajiu stood up beside him without thinking.

Jia Daoshi was taken aback.

He was about to ask a question when Ajiu picked up the jar of Daughter's Red wine and carefully poured Jia Daoshi a small bowl: "My lord...you...drink..."

Her reaction showed that this young lady didn't like drinking alcohol.

But she still collapsed!

"Stop! I'll only have a tiny bit to drink today." Jia Daoshi stopped Ajiu from pouring the wine.

Ajiu was taken aback. Her husband used to never get drunk!

Setting down the wine pot, Ajiu picked up a piece of meat and held it to Jia Daoshi's lips: "My lord, eat some meat."

Jia Daoshi: "..."

He was helpless.

He really couldn't eat it that way.

"Ah Jiu, sit down and eat with us."

"My lord, you mustn't..."

"Why not? If my husband says it's okay, then it's okay! You shouldn't be so reserved in the future. As husband and wife, we should help each other. Sit down and eat with us!"

"My lord, this..."

"Eat up! If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

Jia Daoshi put down his bowl.

So Murong Jiu didn't dare to say anything more, and sat down cautiously, picking up her chopsticks.

Jia Daoshi pushed the rice in front of her and said, "Eat it. With your thin arms and legs, how can you have the strength to work if you don't eat?"

"Wow!"

But then, Ah Jiu suddenly burst into tears, which kept falling down her face.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

He had never been in love before and really didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say in his gentlest tone, "My dear wife, I just thought you were too thin and wanted you to eat more, so why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Ajiu wiped away her tears and said, "My lord, I didn't mean to cry. I was just so surprised. My lord... do you want to let me have one last meal, and then... sell me again?"

Ajiu's voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Jia Daoshi felt very upset after hearing this.

It seems this little girl is very insecure!

He let out a long sigh, wanting to offer some comfort...

But just then!

"boom!"

A deafening roar!

The already flimsy door was smashed to pieces!

"Jia Daoshi! You bastard! You made me go hunting today! While I'm gone, you'll sell Ajiu!"

"Yes and no!"

A clear, cold voice rang out from outside!

then!

"boom!"

The nicked hunting knife slashed through the air and landed on the table!

"Dangdang!"

The wine bowl on the table crashed to the ground and shattered in two!

Wood chips flew across the tabletop, and the force was so great that the knife handle was still trembling slightly!

Jia Daoshi: "..."

At this moment, he was already covered in a cold sweat!

If that hunting knife had been just a little bit closer, it would have cut itself!

Who is this!

Do you want to kill someone?

Didn't they say that the Great Jing Dynasty severely punishes murderers?

Jia Daoshi looked up and headed towards the door!

A tall girl wearing a black patched cotton-padded jacket appeared at the door!

The girl had a wheat-colored complexion, and her hair was casually tied back with a strip of cloth. However, her eyes were covered by a dark blue gauze. Even with the gauze covering her eyes, judging from her high nose, small mouth, and slender fingers, she was still a great beauty!

But why is she blindfolded?

Is he blind?

"Sister Qinglin! You're back!"

Qinglin? Di Qinglin?

This seems to be one of his wives?

Jia Daoshi looked at the blindfolded woman in front of him. She was unusually tall, probably not much shorter than him!

Even though he was wearing a cotton-padded coat, judging from his bone structure, he must have a good figure!

Because he had run all the way back, Di Qinglin's head was still steaming, and his face was flushed.

Judging from the strike the opponent just made, this is completely different from Murong Jiu!

Murong Jiu is the kind of person who can evoke a protective instinct in someone just by looking at her!

But the woman before him could ignite Jia Daoshi's desire to conquer her!

"Ah Jiu! It seems I've returned just in time." Di Qinglin stepped forward, grabbed the hunting knife from the table, and then stood in front of Murong Jiu. "Anyone who dares to take you away will have to get past this knife first!"

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi looked completely bewildered!

What's going on here? Can this woman see or not?

Di Qinglin went hunting early this morning to improve his meals and supplement his household income.

She wasn't blind, but she had a very strange eye condition: extreme photophobia!

So she usually wears this dark blue gauze, through which she can observe her surroundings!

She could only remove the gauze at night.

At the same time, her hearing is extremely sharp!

But since his eyesight isn't very good, whether he can hunt prey when he goes up the mountain usually depends on luck.

Today, her luck wasn't so good; she didn't catch anything all morning.

Just as she returned to the village entrance, she overheard the villagers talking about Zhou Laosi and Manager Wang coming to buy Ajiu, so she ran all the way back!

"Sister Qinglin!"

Upon seeing Di Qinglin, Murong Jiu's pent-up grievances erupted like a flood, and she burst into tears again!

Seeing the pitiful Murong Jiu, Di Qinglin was furious!
