She was all alone in the quiet farmhouse courtyard.
Ahri touched her eyes; she wasn't blind, and could see very clearly.
However, her eyes were rather unusual; they weren't black and white, but rather a light gray, like clouds on a cloudy day, the kind that obscures the sunlight.
So she pretended to be blind.
The wooden gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a tall, strong man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features returned.
Ah Li quickly closed her eyes; she was going to pretend to be asleep.
This person's name is Nan Yan, and he is the villain of this world.
The original owner had no idea he was the villain. She only discovered by chance that he was rich, very rich, and assumed his identity must be extraordinary. So, she deliberately clung to him, pretending she was blind because of him, hoping he would marry her.
Normally, if anyone shows interest in Nan Yan or gets too close to her, she will intentionally or deliberately frame them.
Later, the villain and the male protagonist clashed.
The original owner of this body was fickle and fell in love with the male lead at first sight. She even gave the male lead a fatal weakness of the villain, and the villain was defeated by the male lead.
The original owner thought that what awaited her was a life of plenty.
In the end, she died; she accidentally fell into the water and drowned.
Just then, Nan Yan knocked on the door from outside, "Su Li, are you asleep?"
Ahri didn't answer; she softened her breathing.
She had already become attached to him when she came here.
At that time, Nan Yan suspected that she might really be blind, and he even told his men, "If she dares to lie to me, then kill her."
To avoid being killed by the villain, she pretends to be blind very convincingly.
However, unlike the original owner, Ah Li did not ask Nan Yan to marry her. Instead, she said that she would just take care of her.
Because Nan Yan won't be staying here for long; he'll be leaving soon.
At that time, this farmhouse will belong to her.
With a 'creak'.
Nan Yan pushed open the door and came in.
Ahri didn't dare to move and continued to pretend to be asleep, her breathing remaining perfectly steady.
Nan Yan noticed that the room was dark. He placed a roast chicken he had brought back on Su Li's bedside table and said, "I came back late today, but I won't do that tomorrow."
Today, there is a reason for this.
Nan Yan didn't have the habit of explaining himself to others. He put the roast chicken down and left.
The roast chicken smelled delicious, but Ali still didn't touch it, and kept telling himself: I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm not hungry.
The sound of water being drawn could be heard outside; it was Nan Yan fetching water to prepare for washing up.
Ahri pulled the blanket over her head; as long as she couldn't smell the roast chicken, she wouldn't be hungry.
Perhaps self-hypnosis really worked, because Ahri fell asleep.
?
The next day, Ah Li woke up, picked up a wooden stick from the bedside table, and glanced at the roast chicken.
The roast chicken was left out overnight, got cold, and lost its flavor.
Ah Li slowly walked to the door with a wooden stick in her hand. She didn't look left or right, but instead used the stick to draw lines on the ground as she slowly walked to the well.
Nan Yan was there, so he got up very early.
He watched her with his arms crossed, and saw that she had actually found her way to the well and even drew water to wash her face. He stepped into her room and took out the roast chicken.
Ahri noticed, but she had to pretend she didn't.
After washing her face, she touched the stick again, and with the stick in her hand, she was about to go out.
Where are you going?
Nan Yan had just put the roast chicken on the pot to heat it up when he noticed that the little blind girl seemed to be about to go out, but the door wasn't in front of her, and if she continued walking, she would bump into the wall.
Ahri turned her head slightly and said, "You're back?"
"Yes, I came back last night."
Nan Yan noticed that Ah Li had returned, and he said, "Come and eat."
Ahri, holding a stick, walked step by step toward Nan Yan.
Nan Yan didn't go over and hold her hand; he didn't like touching people.
The stick blocked the kitchen threshold. Ah Li reached out and tested it before stepping over.
Once inside the kitchen, Ah Li moved the stick from side to side until she tapped a stool leg, then slowly groped her way to sit at the table.
Pretending to be blind is so tiring.
Ah Li reached out and touched the bowl, and Nan Yan followed behind her, bringing over the heated roast chicken.
Ahri twitched her nose and said, "You made chicken?"
"Um."
Nan Yan didn't say that he brought it back last night; he just left it there and didn't touch it.
Ali held up his chopsticks and stretched them forward twice, but each time he just missed the roast chicken. He was about to touch it, but he still missed it perfectly.
Ah Li pursed her lips, put away her chopsticks, and lowered her head to take a sip of porridge.
As a result, the bowl was empty.
Nan Yan laughed beside him, and even laughed out loud, saying, "I didn't get you any porridge."
Ali put down her chopsticks, touched the stick on the side of the table, and said, "Enjoy your meal."
Ahri's stomach made an inopportune sound at this moment, and Ahri turned around and left quickly, looking embarrassed and annoyed.
This time, she walked very quickly, and apart from the extremely loud sounds of the stick hitting the ground and slamming against the threshold, she did not lose her temper with Nan Yan.
Nan Yan looked at the roast chicken on the table, an empty bowl, and a pair of chopsticks beside it. He remembered how she cried and said, "My eyes went blind because of you. You have to take responsibility for me!"
At that time, he was chopping wood when he lost his footing and fell off a cliff. Before losing consciousness, he was still conscious and did not feel that he had hit anyone.
But when he woke up, this person appeared beside him, crying miserably, saying that he had blinded her eyes and that he should take responsibility.
He knew this person; he lived in a neighboring village to the village where he had settled. He was a lazy, good-for-nothing man with no parents.
He hadn't paid much attention to her normally, but the way she cried was really ugly, and he wanted to kill her.
As it happened, a few hunters passed by, and this woman started making a scene, crying and complaining that she had come to pick some wild vegetables and that he had knocked her blind.
Those hunters were also from the village. They knew that the girl already had an eye condition, and now that it had gotten better, it had become more serious because of him, so they had to take responsibility.
However, when he actually brought her back, she became quiet and didn't continue to demand that he take responsibility.
He also learned that she had been kicked out by her brother and sister-in-law, had nowhere to go, and no other relatives to turn to.
After she settled in here, she would eat a little if he prepared something to eat, and if not, she would go out.
When she went out, she always managed to get some sweet potatoes and some steamed buns.
Nan Yan stood up and walked out.
After Ahri went out, she was still wondering where to get some food.
Just then, someone stopped Ali. He gave Ali an ear of corn and coaxed him, "Come with me, I have lots of food at home."
Ahri smiled, revealing two dimples on her clean face. "Okay, I'll go home with you."
This man is an old bachelor in the village, and he's been eyeing Ahri for quite some time now.
Ah Li thought that Nan Yan was unpredictable and deep-thinking, and it was too tiring to pretend to be blind in front of him every day. She wanted to live somewhere else.
This old bachelor in front of us could be put to use.
