Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 3 Traveling (3)
If the enemy stops, she stops too.Li Zhu didn't have much information in her mind, so she just took the opportunity to absorb more information from the outside world.She hid in the crowd, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, and observed Xiao's movements at any time, and would run away if something went wrong.

At this time, someone gently tugged on her sleeve.Li Zhu turned his head and saw that it was a girl with watery eyes and dark skin. The girl asked with concern, "Xiaozhu, is the injury on your head healed?"

Li Zhu was stunned for a while, and then searched out some information about this girl from the original body's memory. Her name was Wang Xiaocui, and she was one of Li Zhu's few friends.Wang Xiaocui's family background is good, and her parents dote on her.She often helps Li Zhu, who is hungry and not warm.

Wang Xiaocui said in a low voice: "I want to give you an egg to eat, but my brother said, you won't be able to eat it if I bring it to you, so it's better to wait until you come out and give it to you."

Li Zhu was moved in his heart. Eggs are a rarity in this era, and ordinary people are only willing to eat them except for the New Year's Eve, and they are sold on weekdays.

Li Zhu said gratefully: "Thank you Xiaocui, I don't want to eat, you can let my aunt save money to sell."

Wang Xiaocui dragged Li Zhu involuntarily, "Let's go and come to my house while your mother is not paying attention."

The Wang family is at the west end of the village. There are a few large tile-roofed houses with blue bricks and a row of courtyard walls.

A big black dog with shiny black fur was tied in the yard. Because of his acquaintance, when Li Zhu came in, instead of barking, he wagged his tail.

Wang Xiaocui took Li Zhu straight to the main room, then quickly ran to the kitchen and brought two pancakes and an egg, put them in front of Li Zhu, and said: "I gave birth yesterday, and my mother boiled some eggs for me. You left one, eat it quickly. You must have not eaten in the morning."

Li Zhu wanted to refuse, but his stomach sang The Empty City unsatisfactorily.

"You were born yesterday, I forgot."

"It's okay, you were still lying on the bed yesterday."

Wang Xiaocui asked her sincerely: "Okay, eat quickly."

In the future, if she has money, she will definitely repay this good friend.Li Zhu thought silently in his heart.She thanked her and began to eat.She was really hungry, this kind of mixed noodle pancake tasted sweeter than any delicacies.

After eating two pancakes and one egg, Li Zhu felt much better.Seeing that she was full, Wang Xiaocui pulled her and said, "Come on, let's go to the river to find my brother, they are catching fish."

Li Zhu also had nothing to do, so he simply ran around with Wang Xiaocui.She was not afraid of being beaten and scolded by her family when she slipped out. The original owner was so well-behaved and capable.In this case, she might as well break the jar and smash it.What's more, she couldn't get any news she wanted at home.

Along the way, Li Zhu asked Wang Xiaocui a few questions in a roundabout way.For example, can a girl set up a family on her own, and if she goes out, what can she do to support herself?

When Wang Xiaocui heard this, she stopped immediately, and said seriously: "Xiao Zhu, I know you are suffering, but you must not do stupid things. There are no girls in the village who live alone. What do you do for a living?" ? You don’t have any land to grow, no house to live in, even if you have one, aren’t you afraid by yourself? What if some bad guys are after you? Just bear with it for a few more years, and you’ll be able to jump out of the pit of fire when you get married.”

Li Zhu doesn't expect to jump out of the fire pit by marrying someone, maybe it's another fire pit.

Li Zhu didn't refute Xiaocui face to face, but said vaguely: "Let me think about it."

The two came to the river, and there were a few washerwomen squatting beside the river, and they were chatting with each other at the moment.

The protagonist of this gossip seems to be related to Li Zhu's family.When they saw Li Zhu, they greeted Li Zhu with a smile, and some even asked: "Little Zhu, I heard that something happened to your aunt's house?"
