There was a weird atmosphere in the room.
The strange woman standing in the corner, trembling like a frightened rabbit, was not a relative, but a refugee.
"Are you from Li Village?"
Hearing this, Xia He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Not long ago, the barbarians massacred a nearby village!
There were more than a hundred people in the village, young and old, but in the end no one survived.
The village that suffered a devastating disaster was called Li Village.
However, as far as he knew, there was no news of any survivors at that time!
He and other military households had personally gone to the village to see for themselves that the barbarians had set fire to the village after killing people, and the place had already turned into a scorched earth.
The woman nodded slightly and answered with a trembling voice: "It's true... At that time, my father tried his best to take me to the mountains. Maybe because of good luck, those barbarians didn't find us."
"But the days that followed were simply a nightmare. We hid in the mountains and starved for three days and three nights. Only when we felt the danger had passed did we dare to come out carefully."
"But not long after we walked out of the forest, we ran into a group of gray wolves looking for food. Dad accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff. I couldn't find him, and I didn't dare to stay for too long, so I finally fled here."
Having said this, the woman could no longer suppress her inner grief and began to sob uncontrollably.
Li Huilan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel sad and sympathetic when she saw this scene.
In fact, long before Xia He returned home, the woman had already told her her whole life story.
After all, women tend to have stronger empathy, and Li Huilan is now alone with almost no relatives to rely on.
So when she heard the woman in front of her talk about her experience of losing her father, she naturally thought of her own father who had passed away early, and she felt even more heartbroken because she could empathize with him.
But after hearing it, Xia He did not show much emotion.
He looked the woman in front of him carefully from head to toe and suddenly asked,
"So you want me to keep you?"
"Why did you come to my house?"
Xia He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The woman slowly raised her head, her eyes were as clear and moving as a pool of autumn water, but at this moment they were full of grievance and helplessness, and her expression seemed pitiful.
"I heard from the aunts in town that you are very capable. Not only are you good at hunting, but you are also very agile and always come back with a full load."
"Besides, he also said that you are a famous handsome young man in the area. If I could live with you, I would definitely be able to eat well and wear warm clothes..."
The woman spoke in a soft voice, which moved people.
Xia He was stunned when he heard this. These words were too convincing.
Especially the second half of the sentence! That's right, this guy is so handsome that he can't be hidden at all.
"Okay, for Lan'er's sake, I can give you a bite to eat for now."
"You stay here first, and leave after you find your relatives."
"Don't worry, I will definitely behave well! As long as I can stay here."
The woman nodded quickly in response, and a happy smile immediately blossomed on her face, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for taking me in! You are such a kind person!"
Then he added, "Please rest assured, sir. I am definitely not the kind of person who only knows how to eat for free. I can do any job, such as washing clothes, cooking, chopping wood and fetching water. I am also proficient in crafts like weaving!"
"And the aunts all said that my butt is big and easy to bear children! I will definitely be able to give birth to children for you in the future..."
When Xia He heard this, he quickly waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I don't have any thoughts of taking a concubine at the moment, so don't let your imagination run wild."
However, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the woman's buttocks. Hey, I have to admit that what the woman said was true, the buttocks were indeed round and plump, very attractive!
"Don't call me Master anymore. My name is Xia He. I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"
"Okay...Brother He, my name is Yang Qing'er."
Xia He nodded slightly. Seeing that Li Huilan was also happy, he was about to go and clean up the warehouse next door for her to live in. He immediately stopped her and said,
"No hurry, Lan'er, let's eat first."
"Brother He, you are so kind to Sister Lan'er."
Then, the three of them sat around the dining table and started eating.
Perhaps because she had just arrived and felt quite restrained and unfamiliar with this new home, Yang Qing'er curled up quietly in the corner and ate every bite of food carefully.
Li Huilan saw it all and couldn't help feeling pity in her heart.
She kept putting food into Yang Qing'er's bowl and said softly, "Eat more. Don't be polite. This will be your home from now on."
But Xia He on the side seemed to not care at all and continued to eat voraciously.
But when it's time to go to bed at night, problems arise.
The room where Yang Qing'er lived was only separated from the main house by a wall, but after all, there was only a thin wall in between. If she moved a little louder, the sound would easily be transmitted to the next door.
When Li Huilan thought of this, she couldn't help but blush with shame, and even deliberately lowered her breathing, for fear that any sound would be heard by Yang Qing'er.
"Brother He... was heard... by sister Qing'er... not good."
She pursed her lips tightly and her delicate face turned terribly red.
"What are you afraid of? Just hear it if you want to."
Yang Qing'er was lying on her bed, covered with a thick quilt.
She had just closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.
However, at this moment, a series of strange noises coming from next door clearly reached her ears.
Yang Qing'er is already at the marriageable age, so she is naturally well aware of such matters.
Her cheeks turned red like ripe apples.
Not only that, judging from the faint voice, Brother He seems to be... well, quite powerful!
The sound continued until the second half of the night.
Yang Qing'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, with all kinds of images involuntarily appearing in her mind.
Finally, she fell into a sleep due to extreme sleepiness.
In the early morning of the next day, it was still dark and the dawn was just breaking.
Xia He got up from the bed, quickly washed up, and went out.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Yang Qing'er who had already gotten up for a long time and was now busy in the yard with a light figure.
She was wearing a plain outfit that Li Huilan had found for her before she went to bed yesterday.
After a simple dressing and washing, Yang Qing'er looked completely refreshed.
The originally slightly embarrassed image has disappeared, replaced by a beautiful, elegant and charming woman.
