Chapter 48 Turn off the lights and go to sleep
Xu Ningjun patted the bed beside him and motioned for Qichuan to come up.
It's autumn now and it's so cold. I can't just sleep on the ground with nothing.
"You promised to stay. If you leave, it will mean you're not keeping your word. I'll cry."
She curled her lips and looked aggrieved.
Qichuan had no choice but to sit on the bed. He was really afraid that she would cry.
"Why don't you lie down? Do you sleep sitting up?"
It was getting late, so Xu Ningjun pulled the quilt over him and lay down.
There was only one pillow on the bed. Jichuan lay flat on his back stiffly. He could even hear his own heart beating wildly.
This was not the first time the two of them lay together. The first time was when she had a fever.
But she didn't know, only he knew.
That night he secretly desecrated the moon.
A soft little thing crawled into his arms, and Jichuan held his breath for a moment, becoming as stiff as a puppet without its spring.
"You're so warm."
Her soft voice was filled with sleepiness. She leaned against his side, closed her eyes, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep contentedly.
Half of his little face was under the quilt, with only the tip of his nose showing, and he was curled up like a kitten.
Jichuan looked at it for a long time without even closing his eyes, and only got up carefully in the middle of the night.
The warmth beside him faded away, and he walked out to feel the cold wind outside before he came to his senses.
"Brother Chuan, why are you here? I just went to your house to look for you."
Xiaohu ran over from the other end. Qichuan didn't explain, "Let's go."
"Come with me on the mountain. No one will follow you."
Xiaohu lowered his voice cautiously and looked around to make sure no one was going into the mountains.
The dark night was depressing, and the two of them quietly went up the mountain.
Jichuan knew that once he took this step, there was no turning back.
This step is extremely dangerous, and a single mistake could land you in jail.
He clenched his hands at his sides, and even felt like giving up.
If he went to jail, he would never see her again.
But this idea was quickly dismissed. He wanted to marry her and build a future with her.
For this, he is willing to give everything.
"Brother Chuan, there."
There was a pigpen in the open space among the mountains and forests, which was randomly surrounded by adobe bricks. In the moonlight, Qichuan looked at the pigs inside.
There were about ten pigs crammed together, and the stinking odor could be smelled from a distance.
A middle-aged man was squatting on the ground, the cigarette butt in his hand emitting the only light in the night.
Huang Weimin, Xiaohu's master.
"Is this the person you found?"
Huang Weimin stood up. He was covered in tendon meat and had an indelible smell of pig blood.
The butcher, his hands stained with blood, gave people an oppressive feeling. He glanced critically at Jichuan and said, "Let me be frank. If you can do it, go ahead. If you can't, get out."
He was a rough man, so he just spoke his mind. Qichuan nodded.
Xiaohu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Master, Brother Chuan is very strong, don't worry."
Chuan took out ten big unity notes and gave them to him that day. Although Xiaohu didn't know where the money came from, it was definitely all of Chuan's belongings.
He knew that Brother Chuan was serious about following уел and was not just acting rashly.
"Brother Chuan,"
Xiaohu walked towards the pigpen. "We used to buy pigs from a nearby village, but it wasn't safe. So we thought we'd raise a few and try. Look, those piglets are ours. When the time comes, the piglets will give birth to piglets, and then the piglets will give birth to piglets, and everything will be fine."
When saying this, Xiaohu's face was filled with anticipation and yearning.
They have had enough of the hard times, and they are happy to earn money with their own hands.
"Stop talking nonsense and come to work."
"Okay, Master."
