depend on for life

Early in the morning, Xiao Jinyi got up to feed the chickens, cleaned the courtyard, cooked breakfast, and brought it to his father's bed to serve Xiao Zaidao.

"Father, my daughter wants to discuss something with you? I hope you can promise your daughter!"

Xiao Zaidao categorically refused: "Yi'er, my father knows what you want to say, and my father will not agree! Your mother left early, and my father has worked so hard all his life to save those acres of land as your dowry." , if you don’t have those few acres of land, how will you and Yu’er live after your father leaves? My father knows that the money in the family has been consumed by my father’s illness. My father doesn’t want to cure this illness. The reason why father insists on not leaving is because he can't let go of you two siblings! My father only wants to see that you can marry a good man before leaving, so my father can also smile in Jiuquan."

Xiao Jinyi fed his father porridge, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with red eyes: "Father, you will live a long life, and you will definitely see Yi'er get married, and your younger brother grow up and start a family."

Xiao Jinyi also instructed her younger brother Xiao Jinyu: "My sister will go out later to get medicine for my father. You should study at home and take good care of your father."

"I know my sister, I will take good care of my father!" Xiao Jinyu at the dining table said solemnly.

Xiao Jinyi carried a medicine basket and a small hoe on her back and planned to go up the mountain to collect herbs. After such a long time, she could already identify all the herbs her father needed to cure his illness, so going up the mountain to pick them by herself could save a lot of money. Other medicinal materials can be sold in pharmacies for some money.

The idea is good, but for her daughter's family, the mountain may not be very safe.

No, she had just picked a medicinal herb, and when she raised her head, she saw a colorful snake not far away with its triangular eyes open and vomit snake letters at her.

Xiao Jinyi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to move, but the snake didn't have any intention of pity and pity, and pressed towards her step by step.Just as the snake jumped up, Xiao Jinyi subconsciously covered her face with her hands and closed her eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not come. Xiao Jinyi slowly opened her eyes and found that the snake was stabbed by a strange knife. It was broken in two from the seven-inch hole.

"Are you OK?"

A hoarse and unpleasant voice appeared next to her ears. Xiao Jinyi heard it and saw a short-haired man in a strange costume limping towards her with a bag on his back and a cane!

The man walked up to her and raised her by a full head. Xiao Jinyi was a little embarrassed, and took a step back unconsciously, but forgot that this was not a flat ground, but a steep slope. She lost weight and fell backwards, about to fall He rolled down the mountain, but was grabbed by someone and pulled him into his arms.

The man let go of her, still making a hoarse voice: "Be careful, the road is slippery."

"Little girl, thank you sir for saving me!" A red cloud appeared on Xiao Jinyi's face.

Son?Chen Shixi knew that the woman in front of her had misunderstood again, but she didn't intend to explain. First of all, this is ancient times. It is definitely better to be a man than a woman. Secondly, how does she look like a woman?To be honest, she herself was ashamed to say that she was a woman.

Chen Shiyi picked up the Swiss Army Knife and put the snake body into his trouser pocket. Seeing Xiao Jinyi's face pale with embarrassment, he turned around and vomited.

"Sorry to scare you!"

"It's the little girl who is being rude. I wonder what the master wants this snake for?"

"Snake meat can be stewed in soup, and snake gallbladder can be brewed in wine to cure diseases."

"Snake gallbladder can cure diseases?"

"Well, it has miraculous effects in dispelling wind and relieving pain, removing heat and resolving phlegm, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals."

"My lord also understands medical skills?"

"Knows a little bit!" Chen Shishi recalled that she really learned a lot in the past five years in the army. Although she was not proficient in everything, she knew more or less.From crop soldiers, logistics soldiers, cooking soldiers when they first joined the army... to later scout soldiers, special warfare soldiers...

"Excuse me, little girl, why are you here?"

"Homeless, the world is home, you can go anywhere!"

"Where is the young man going next?"

"I don't know either, let's heal your leg first! Don't call me a son, I'm not a son, my name is Chen Shishi, you can call me by my name directly!"

It's too impolite to call you by name directly, and the other party doesn't want to call you son, Xiao Jinyi is a little embarrassed.

Chen Shiyi also knew that the ancients were awkward, so he changed the subject: "You girl, why did you come up the mountain early in the morning? It's very dangerous here!"

"My father is sick, so the little girl has to go up the mountain to gather herbs to treat her father!"

Chen Shiyi liked this kind-hearted and filial girl, so it was all right, so he said, "Have you finished picking the medicine? If not, I can accompany you. It just so happens that I still need some medicine for my leg!" It was an old illness, and it was treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Now that the old injury is recurring, Chen Shixi is naturally familiar with it.

"Then, Xiao Jiajinyi thanks Big Brother Chen!"

Brother Chen?This title is so fresh!Chen Shishi was still a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Chen Shiyi stunned, Xiao Jinyi said: "Mr. Chen, the little girl is rude!"

"No, no, I don't mind. It's just that no one has called me that in so many years. I'm not used to it. Jinyi, you can call me Brother Chen from now on. I like it."

Xiao Jinyi blushed when she heard the words, and said in her heart: This person looks upright and dull, why does he speak so freely?

It's also because Chen Shiyi didn't know what Xiao Jinyi was thinking in her heart. If she knew, she would really yell three times of injustice. Could it be that there is something wrong with being sincere and straightforward?

Chen Shiyi opened the way ahead, and Xiao Jinyi followed behind. For some reason, Xiao Jinyi looked at the limping figure in front of her, but she felt inexplicably at ease.She didn't know where Chen Shishi came from, and she only saw Chen Shishi twice, but she was sure that Chen Shishi was not a bad person.

With Chen Shishi's protection, the following herb collection went smoothly, and even most of the herbal collection work was done by Chen Shishi, which made Xiao Jinyi even more trusting.

"Okay, we're done picking the medicine, let's go down the mountain!" Chen Shiyi found the last medicinal herb, and finally had a smile on his face.

Xiao Jinyi was also infected by Chen Shiyi's smile, a smile appeared in his eyes, and then he saw the blood-stained bandage on Chen Shishi's left leg, and lost his voice: "Brother Chen, your leg..."

"It's okay, a small injury!" Chen Shishi didn't take it seriously. In the years when she was a soldier, she was surrounded by bullets and bullets, and she brushed shoulders with death several times. This kind of injury and pain were really pediatrics for her.

"Brother Chen is resolute and optimistic, and Jinyi admires it!" Chen Shiyi was in pain from a broken leg, and he was able to climb mountains as if walking on flat ground. Judging from his method of slaying snakes, I am afraid that he is not an ordinary person.

Chen Shixi could only giggle twice, she was really not used to being praised her.When I was in the army, every time I met a new instructor, she was a rookie in the eyes of the new instructor. How could she be so straightforwardly admired?

"Brother Chen said earlier that he has nowhere to go, that the world is his home, and there is still a vacant room in Jinyi's house, would Brother Chen come to the humble house?"

Chen Shiyi would like to go, after all, she also needs to find a place to recuperate her legs, but Xiao Jinyi is not married, and her current status is not suitable to go to her house, the ancients valued reputation very much.

"I'm going, and it will cause you inconvenience! It's hard to explain my identity, after I go down the mountain, let's just leave here!"

Xiao Jinyi was not angry when she was rejected out of good intentions, but felt that Chen 11's character was precious.

"Brother Chen, shouldn't he be from here?"

"no!"

"Then will Big Brother Chen come home?"

"I shouldn't be able to go back!"

"Is there anyone waiting at home?"

"None, all alone!"

"Then why don't you stay in Xinghua Village?"

"Uncle Mo said that Xinghua Village does not welcome strangers!"

"What if you're not a stranger?"

"How do you say that?"

"..."

"..."

"Brother Chen, Jinyi wants to make a deal with you!"

"What deal?"

"Brother Chen joins Xiao's family and becomes Jinyi's husband-in-law, so he can stay in Xinghua Village in a legitimate way!"

"No!" Chen Shiyi flatly refused.

Seeing Chen Shiyi's refusal, Xiao Jinyi was not ashamed, but relieved: "Brother Chen, a man of seven feet tall, how could he get married? Brother Chen, please forgive me, Jinyi's proposal is unreasonable!"

"Jinyi, getting married is nothing to me. But marriage is not a child's play, how can it be traded? For a girl, marriage is a lifelong event, so you'd better let go of this idea, so as not to ruin your life's happiness. "She almost wondered if the girl in front of her had come from time travel, and she was so open-minded in some aspects!

After hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xiao Jinyi felt mixed feelings in her heart. She never thought that there are men in the world who don't care about getting married, let alone men who are indifferent to the beauty and shelter that come to their door.

This man can be described as a real man!

"The reason why Jinyi made this deal with Brother Chen is to believe in Brother Chen's character, to repay Brother Chen for saving his life, and to provide Brother Chen with a shelter to help you recuperate, and to satisfy his father's wish ! This matter is because of Jinyi's poor thinking, just pretend that Jinyi never mentioned it!"

Chen Shixi thought, if she was really a man, she would be eager to agree to this deal, but if she is not a man, then don't harm the girl, she can't bear that responsibility.
