"Then don't get married. I am willing to support you for the rest of your life." After Lan Zhi said this, she silently added in her heart: a lifetime in Chihu Village.
After leaving Chihu Village and regaining his memory, Zhutong no longer needed her to raise him.
"Silly Tianmiao, what are you talking about? When you are twenty years old, I will arrange to find you a wife. From now on, you will live with your wife. As for me..."
Zhu Tong's voice gradually faded, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. She didn't know what to do in the future. With her unique hair and eye color, who would dare to marry her? The villagers in the entire village all had black hair and black eyes. Only she was the outcast. However, from her memory, she seemed to have inherited her mother's hair and eyes. As for her younger brother Tian Miao, he inherited his father's hair and eyes, so Tian Miao looked different from her.
"I'm so ugly. I wish I could be prettier..." Zhu Tong sighed.
"Ugly?" Lan Zhi finally took her eyes off the soles of her shoes. She looked at Zhu Tong. This humanoid beast had an extremely beautiful face, soft white skin, and delicate features like a porcelain doll. How could he be ugly?
Zhu Tong had a worried look on his face. "Not only am I not good-looking, but everyone also thinks my eye color is ominous..."
Lan Zhi put down the sole of the shoe in her hand, looked at Zhu Tong seriously, and said, "Your eyes are the most beautiful green in the world."
"You are the only younger brother who doesn't despise me." Having said that, Zhu Tong still showed a smile on his face.
Lan Zhi finished sewing the sole of the shoe in her hand and stood up to go to the village chief's house.
She wants to contact more "villagers" and get more information.
There were five ready-made soles in the straw basket - these soles were definitely not made by Zhutong. With her craftsmanship, it would be difficult for her to make half a sole, so how could she make so many? These soles were like the thatched houses. They were probably originally from Chihu Village, or they were conjured up by spiritual power. However, in Zhutong's memory, these were the results of her labor. Together with the soles her brother had just made, there were a total of six, exactly three pairs.
"It's getting late, let's go exchange some copper coins to buy food." Zhu Tong said.
"good."
Lan Zhi nodded and went out with Zhu Tong.
The road in the village was a bumpy dirt road. After the rain, there was a lot of mud on the ground, and walking on it was difficult with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Lan Zhi was wearing straw sandals, and after a few steps, her whole feet were covered in mud. Zhu Tong's feet were even worse. The two of them supported each other and walked very hard.
We passed many houses along the way. Most of the villagers lived in simple thatched huts. All the villagers in Chihu Village had just woken up and were getting familiar with their family members.
Lan Zhi didn't know which house her two brothers lived in, because in her memory, Zhu Tianmiao rarely went out and interacted with outsiders. She had only met a dozen or so villagers, and she had never even been to the village chief's house.
Zhu Tong knew the way, and after walking for half an hour, he finally reached his destination. There were many thatched huts along the way, and even more villagers, but if you look closely, you'll find that the entire village is almost entirely populated by young adults and the elderly, without a single child. This is easy to understand, after all, no children have ever entered the Medical Saint Secret Realm, and it's impossible for Chihu Village to conjure up children out of thin air.
The village chief lived in a stone brick house, and there was a vegetable patch enclosed by a fence. Raindrops of dew condensed on the leaves, and the vegetables were growing well. Zhu Tong knocked on the gate, and soon a young man in coarse linen clothes opened the door.
The young man had a handsome face, gentle features, and a slender figure. He stepped aside to make way and saw a round-faced boy next to Zhu Tong. A hint of curiosity flashed in the boy's eyes, "Who is this..."
"This is my younger brother, Zhu Tianmiao."
The young man nodded, "So it's Brother Tianmiao."
But I couldn't help thinking that Zhu Tong is so beautiful, but her brother looks ordinary. It's hard to believe that they are siblings.
Zhu Tong turned around and said to Lan Zhi, "This is the village chief's second son, Lan Zheyu."
Lan Zhi: “…”
Isn't this my second brother?
The second brother was so lucky that he was "reincarnated" into the village chief's family.
Lan Zhi greeted, "Hello, second brother."
Lan Zheyu was slightly taken aback. He didn't know Zhu Tianmiao, but when he heard her call him "Second Brother", he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity towards her, as if...
It was as if he and Tian Miao were supposed to be family.
On second thought, Lan Zheyu felt that he was overthinking it, as this was clearly the first time he and Tian Miao met.
Zhu Tong took out six shoe soles and handed them to Lan Zheyu.
According to the previous price, a shoe sole cost two copper coins, a total of twelve copper coins.
"Do you want me to exchange it for food?" Lan Zheyu asked.
"Is it okay?" Zhu Tong was a little surprised, because the village chief's family always only paid copper coins. Chihu Village was isolated from the outside world, the town was very far away, and the road was difficult to walk on. Therefore, every time someone wove bamboo baskets or embroidered handkerchiefs and other things, they would take them to the village chief to exchange for money. The village chief would take these things to the town to sell them.
As for the villagers, they took the money to the "Lan Ji Grain Shop" to buy grain.
Of course, this Lanji shop is the property of the village chief's family.
"I'll accompany you to buy food." Lan Zheyu didn't know what happened to him today. He was not so kind-hearted before. The grain shop was very close to his home. He just turned left and walked about ten steps to get there. With him leading the way, he could give more food to the Zhu siblings. Lan Zheyu glanced at "Zhu Tianmiao" and found that the other party was also looking at him.
Although this round-faced boy looked ordinary and had nothing special about him, Lan Zheyu couldn't help but want to be nice to her.
Lan Zheyu asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry."
Lan Zheyu didn't bring any candies with him, but the shop had some. After he walked in, he grabbed a handful of candies and handed them to Lan Zhi, "Here you go."
Lan Zhi took it with a confused look on her face. "Our copper coins are meant to be used to buy whole grains, not candy..."
Lan Zheyu said, "This is a gift from me to you."
Zhu Tong: “…” I used to come here often to buy things, so I’m considered an old customer. Why don’t you give me anything?
The little bit of sugar residue today was obtained by her from the villagers, but who would have thought that someone would give her brother a handful of sugar cubes in the blink of an eye?
Why didn’t I realize that my brother is so popular before?
The person in charge of guarding the shop today was the village chief's third son, Lan Jinyu. He was busy carving a wood carving when he heard the voices. Lan Jinyu looked up and asked, "Second brother, why are you here?"
"Just walk around." Lan Zheyu grabbed another handful of snacks and put them into Lan Zhi's hand. "I don't know what you like to eat, how about I give you a little bit of everything? When you're done, you can come find me again."
"Thanks……"
Lan Jinyu was a stingy miser. Seeing his second brother being so generous, he could no longer sit still. He put the wooden sculpture aside, stood up, and walked over quickly, his face already showing anger. "Second brother, what are you doing..."
