Chapter 2

A thin layer of snow fell on the ground.

Jiang Hao was wrapped tightly in a large cotton coat, and was held in the arms of Xiao Jingshan, who was only wearing a middle coat, and walked on the path.

The thin middle coat outlined this person's strong arms, but there was a hole where her eyes were, and there were several patches next to it.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang Hao couldn't help but shiver.

He carefully tugged on Xiao Jingshan's clothes, raised a pair of clean and innocent eyes, looked at him, and whispered: "Well... aren't you cold?"

The voice was slightly hoarse due to the fever, but it was still delicate and soft, tickling Xiao Jingshan's heart like a hook.

It was this voice that appeared in his dreams for three days in a row.

In the dream, she was locked in a woodshed, wet and dying, crying and shouting: Xiao Jingshan, save me!
After waking up, his back was covered in cold sweat, as if he had lost something important.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingshan hugged the person tighter, unable to catch a breath of wind, and coldly snorted: "Don't worry, you are a worthy man. You are strong enough to kill a cow. How about you, who is as skinny as a donkey shadow puppet?" Yeah, a gust of wind blew it away!"

"I'll give you more food when I go back to make you fatter, so that my hands won't hurt."

Jiang Hao sounded like he was feeding a pig, and he was speechless for a while.

Xiao Jingshan carried Jiang Hao all the way to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. Standing at the door of the dilapidated and low courtyard was a seven or eight-year-old boy who hurriedly ran forward when he saw them.

"Third brother, you didn't lie to me. Did you really bring your sister-in-law back?"

The little boy was wearing a patched cotton coat. The cuffs and trousers were obviously shorter. He was wearing a pair of single shoes. His face was flushed with cold. He was obviously very happy to see Xiao Jingshan holding someone in his arms.

"When did third brother lie to you? Where is Qiuling? Let her prepare medicine to cure the cold. Your sister-in-law is sick."

Xiao Jingshan said as he carried the person into the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, there are three small and dilapidated adobe houses side by side. Next to them is a low shack with a pile of firewood.

Xiao Jingshan carried the person to the farthest room and opened the door curtain. Inside the room was a table with one leg missing and an earthen kang, which was covered with a patched mattress.

Jiang Hao was placed on the kang. The kang was hot and very warm.

"Third brother, the eldest and second brothers came when you went out. Mom was angry again and can't get up now." The little boy just ran in and said with his head hanging down.It's all because he is too young and useless to protect the family.

Xiao Jingshan's expression instantly turned cold.

"What are they doing again? They are all separated. Apart from a few shabby mattresses, what else is there to worry about in this house!"

Jiang Hao was covered by Xiao Jingshan's quilt and only showed a small face as big as a palm. He looked at the surrounding environment and watched the two brothers talking.

The family was poorer than she imagined.

My mother is seriously ill, my brother and sister-in-law are unkind, and my younger siblings are young.

This was already the case, and Xiao Jingshan brought her back to have one more patient. Wouldn't this make matters worse?

"Brother Jingshan."

Jiang Hao was just thinking when he heard a call from outside.

Then he opened the door curtain and came in. A girl about eleven or twelve years old, with an ordinary appearance and wearing a half-worn pink jacket, walked in with a steaming porcelain bowl in her hand, but looked straight at the kang. .

"People are so sick that they are about to die. Drinking this medicine is a waste. Brother Jingshan, why did you use a deer to bring people back? Why don't you sell the deer to my mother to get medicine? She hasn't paid for the medicine yet."

Seeing Xiao Jingshan frowning and displeased, Qiu Ling continued reluctantly: "I didn't say anything wrong. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If she dies at home, wouldn't it be bad luck?"

"Qiuling, remember she is your sister-in-law. Don't say this in the future, otherwise don't blame me for falling out."

Xiao Jingshan's tone was cold, implying a warning.

Qiu Ling didn't expect Xiao Jingshan, who had always been kind to her, to speak like this, and her eyes instantly turned red.

He put down the medicine bowl with a bang, glared at Jiang Hao, turned around and ran out.

Jiang Hao clearly saw the hatred in the little girl's eyes, and it was obvious that she would not give up.

She thought to herself that she was not willing to stay and be the third sister-in-law of Laoshizi.Of course, running was impossible.

Not to mention that she couldn't run far in her current body, not to mention that according to her original body's memory, she couldn't go anywhere without a road in this dynasty.

A single woman with no background didn’t even know how she died.

She had to stand firm first and think about the rest later.

"Third sister-in-law, don't be angry. Sister Qiuling is just worried that third brother has a hard time making money, so she doesn't speak nicely. In fact, she is a very nice person."

The little boy on the side thought Jiang Hao was angry and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

He also felt that Sister Qiuling had gone too far. How could she curse the third sister-in-law like this?

Looking at the skinny little boy in front of him, Jiang Hao decided to get closer first, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Pingan. Third sister-in-law, just call me Pingan." Xiao Pingan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Jiang Hao smiling at him.

The third sister-in-law’s smile is so beautiful and gentle.

Unlike the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, who only pull his ears and beat him.

"Xiao Ping'an, you are so handsome." Jiang Hao continued to throw sugar-coated bullets.

Xiao Ping'an obviously had no one to praise him so much. He scratched his head in embarrassment and his ears immediately turned red.

Xiao Jingshan, who was left out in the cold, snorted coldly.

"What are you doing here? Check to see if there is porridge in the kitchen and bring a bowl to your sister-in-law."

"Oh, I'll go right now."

Xiao Pingan ran out like a monkey.

Jiang Hao was about to say something when Xiao Jingshan walked to the kang, dug her up with the quilt, and put a pillow behind her.

He lifted his legs and got on the kang.

Jiang Hao subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly and shrank back, "What are you doing?"

"It's cold on the ground, how can I sleep with you? The sky is clear and sunny, you think it's quite beautiful!"

Jiang Hao choked and his almond-shaped eyes widened.

She almost forgot that this man's cotton coat was still wrapped around her body, so she stood on the ground in her middle coat for a long time.

Xiao Jingshan reached for the medicine bowl from the table, took a sip himself, and then picked up the spoon to feed Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao turned his face and protested, "I can do it myself."

"Momojiji, drink quickly! Do you want me to feed you mouth to mouth!" Xiao Jingshan said and took another mouthful, pouting and about to fight.

This man's skin was thicker than a pig's skin, and Jiang Hao couldn't resist him. His chest heaved with anger, so he had to lower his head and take a sip of the medicine in the spoon.

Life is important.

He drank Chinese medicine in small sips just like Xing. Jiang Hao couldn't swallow it after just a few sips.

With a grimace, he discussed with the person in front of him: "It's too painful for you to feed me like this. I'll feel better if I drink it in one go."

"Women are trouble."

Xiao Jingshan glared, and then handed her the medicine bowl impatiently.

Jiang Hao cursed in his mind, who was causing trouble? It was obviously you who took off your pants and farted for no reason.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, she endured it.
