Chapter 2 Home
It was already dark, and the fire in front of her was crackling. Hu Xin'er leaned against the wall, her body trembling slightly from the cold.
The cave in front of you, which is about ten square meters in size, is what the homeless man calls "home".
As her strength gradually recovered, Hu Xiner finally remembered the relationship between the original owner and this man.
The original owner was a kind-hearted person. Although she was bullied by her elder sister for many years, she never forgot to show kindness to others. Not long ago, she secretly gave a few potatoes from her home to a homeless man who was almost starving to death to fill his stomach.
As the ancients said, good people will be rewarded. If it weren't for the original owner's kindness, she would have died today.
At this time, the man sat beside her and used a wooden stick to move the two burnt potatoes under the fire to the side.
After cooling for a while, the man took the potato that was still smoking in his hands. The scorching heat made him blow on it while shaking the potato between his hands.
Hu Xiner couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and was unconsciously attracted by his dark hands.
Those hands have slender joints and are of even thickness, which makes them very beautiful and stylish.
The man felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, then silently broke open the potato and handed it to her.
Hu Xin'er twitched her nose, her appetite aroused.
She raised her hand to take it, but the wound on her hand was even more painful after being soaked in water. She raised her hand slightly and then let it fall down weakly.
The man did not miss this detail. A flash of heartache flashed across his dark eyes. He gently broke off a small piece and put it directly to Hu Xiner's mouth.
"Thank you." Hu Xiner was not shy at all and opened her mouth to bite it.
The soft texture melted on her taste buds, and the simplest taste of potatoes was mellow and rich. She swallowed two potatoes with peace of mind.
The man found some straw and spread it on her, then sat back in front of the fire.
The two of them sat in silence, and Hu Xin'er fell asleep unknowingly, feeling warm and secure.
After an unknown amount of time, the bright morning light cast its shadow into the cave. Hu Xiner rubbed her eyes, and the figure of the man appeared in her sleepy eyes.
He leaned against the cave entrance with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was sleeping while standing guard.
Sparks flickered faintly in the black ashes of the burnt firewood. This man must have been guarding the fire all night to prevent it from going out.
A burst of sadness filled Hu Xiner's eyes. For her, it was impossible not to be moved by the way this man, a stranger to her, was so considerate to her.
Hu Xiner rubbed her nose, stood up with difficulty, tiptoed through the cave, and gently spread the hay on her body on the man without waking him up.
The morning mist is hazy and smoke is curling up.
She stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down, with a clear view of the entire Shuangxi Village. The scenery was picturesque, like a paradise.
But these beautiful mountains and rivers have given rise to a group of black-hearted people!
She sighed silently and walked into the forest.
After entering the forest, Hu Xiner's decadent mood was swept away and she felt full of energy.
Natural resin, fruiting gardenia fruits, indigo leaves and branches, and turquoise are all top-quality natural dyes!
I found a treasure!
Hu Xiner returned to the cave with a pile of treasures, rested for a while, and squatted by the small pool at the entrance of the cave to wash.
In the clear water, the woman was bare-faced, with big, bright eyes, a small and cute nose, and her long hair casually wrapped in a blue headscarf.
This was the first time she had seen the original owner's appearance since she had traveled through time. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was at least not bad...
She suddenly thought of the man's horrible face and couldn't help feeling curious.
How ugly must one be to be so ashamed to see others as to make oneself look like that?
She tore off a corner of her clothes and soaked it, then crouched like a thief towards the still sleeping man, squatted in front of him, and unconsciously curled up the corners of her mouth.
Like a mischievous child, she covered the man's forehead with a wet cloth.
"who!"
The man suddenly opened his eyelids, his pupils full of vigilance. He tightly gripped Hu Xiner's wrist and wiped the black mud off his forehead.
After wiping off the black mud, his forehead was white and delicate, with distinct sword-like eyebrows, which was completely different from the lower half of his face.
Hu Xiner stood there in a daze, staring at the man's face. She broke free from his grip, pressed his wrist with her backhand, and wiped the mud off his face bit by bit as if she was searching for treasure.
Oh my god…
Sword-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a jade-faced young man!
