The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 100
Huo Shen helped the old man sit down together: "The old man is talking heresy. Since I am a relative, I don't treat myself as a guest. I will definitely come and go often in the future."

Mr. Jing was very happy: "Okay, okay, the old man hopes that our family will become more and more prosperous."

Huo Shen agreed: "You are in very good health. You will definitely see the day when the population is prosperous and five generations live under one roof."

The food was served. The dish was boiled Chinese cabbage with some rabbit meat in it, and the rice was sorghum noodles mixed with brown rice paste. Everyone ate it enthusiastically.

Mr. Jing was a little embarrassed: "Young man, that day your sister took out more than 500 silver in one go. I knew that your family is different from ours. To entertain you with this is really a poor reception."

Huo Shen took a bite of the cabbage and said, "I think it's pretty good. I even ate rat meat when I was in trouble."

Mr. Jing was very happy: "He is a good young man. Only those who have been hungry know that life is not easy!"

The fat aunt called Jing Ye and the children in the village into a room, took out the leftovers packed for lunch, and asked Su to heat them up for the children to eat.

Mrs. Su was embarrassed: "His aunt, why don't you give this to the guests?"

The fat aunt was also embarrassed: "This is what is left by the guests, how can I take it out to greet others!"

The children didn't feel embarrassed at all. Suddenly there were so many delicious dishes, and they were all as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year. Mrs. Su quickly stopped the children. They were so happy to eat the leftovers, which made people see what they were saying.

After a lively dinner, Jingli and Haitang moved the room out to Huo Shen, and they squeezed into Lan'er and her sister's room.

There was no way, there were too many people, and the temporary stone house could not accommodate each person. They were all crowded together, so Jingli and Haitang shared a room.

In the cramped room, the flames of the oil lamp danced like beans, and Huo Shen's tall and slender figure stood in the room, making the room even shorter.

Jing Li stood at the door: "Master Huo, the house has just been built outside, and there are still a lot of waste materials and stones piled up in a mess everywhere. It is best not to walk around at night to avoid accidentally hurting yourself."

In the dimness, Huo Shen's expression was changing so clearly that it was unreal. All he heard was that he said meaningfully: "Are you afraid that I will hurt others?"

Jing Li said seriously: "It's hard for you to be self-aware. The people here are all simple and honest country people. I don't want anything to happen to my family."

Today was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Jingli felt very troubled. She couldn't keep an eye on this person all night long. What if he fell ill in the middle of the night and hurt the villagers?
Huo Shen walked to the door and looked directly into Jing Li's eyes: "If you are worried, you might as well come over in the middle of the night and live in the same room with me, so that you can keep a closer eye on me."

When he spoke, he was close to Jing Li's ear, and his hot breath ruffled the girl's hair.

Fortunately, there was no one outside at this time. The men were all working outside. What would it be like if someone saw them?

In the hazy night, dim lights, and the tall and handsome man, in this scene, the young lady lowered her head shyly, revealing a soft and curved neck as white as jade, just like a shy lotus in the water.

The cold handle of the knife was pressed against his waist, interrupting all Huo Shen's charming reveries.

"Do you know that for a girl to behave like this is really disgraceful?"

Jing Li smiled and said, "Then do you know that it's really annoying for an unwelcome guest to come to your door?"

Huo took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I will sleep until dawn and will never disturb anyone."

Jing Li took back the dagger: "I also want to sleep until dawn, thank you for not disturbing me!"

The girl turned around and left. The indescribable heroic figure from her back made Huo Shen feel a little embarrassed.Jingli didn't sleep soundly at all that night, and between half-dream and half-awake, horrifying scenes of Huo Shen sucking human blood always appeared.

When Jingli woke up, there was no one in the yard. There were only a few old men and women working on the ridges, preparing to build a greenhouse to see if they could grow some cold-resistant vegetables.

Mrs. Su was sitting at the door mending her clothes when she saw her daughter getting up hurriedly: "There are still some glutinous rice and cornstarch in the kitchen. Just make do with it and eat something. It's almost noon."

Jing Li rubbed her dizzy head: "Auntie, why didn't you call me?"

Su Shi scolded: "You are not a person who sleeps in. You are so busy these days that you don't treat yourself as a girl. Why don't you just take a nap!"

Mrs. Su talked about her daughter, then looked around and saw that there was no one in the courtyard. She pulled her daughter to the gate, leaned against the pillar of the courtyard and whispered: "Ah Li, tell mother the truth!"

Jing Li looked confused: "What the hell? Mom, what do you want to say?"

Mrs. Su looked around again and saw no one before speaking: "What's going on between you and that Young Master Huo?"

"Aniang, what are you trying to say? He is Haitang's younger brother. I can't stop him from coming to visit relatives, so what else can he do?"

Mrs. Su looked at her daughter with hatred: "Don't you think that Mr. Huo is a nice person? Do you have any ideas?"

"Now we are no longer in my hometown. We are all here. No one knows about those things in the past. I also want you to have a good home."

"No matter how bad it is, that Zhu Xiucai and Dr. Xiao He are also pretty good!"

Jingli came to her senses and finally understood what her mother meant, this was him!When I was in my hometown, I worried about how to fill my stomach. When I was fleeing from famine, I thought about how to escape those disasters and when I could settle down somewhere.

After she finally settled down, with a place to stay and food to drink, her mother began to worry about life-long matters.

"Auntie, you are not tired enough from your daily routine. You still have time to think about these things."

Su Shi glared at her daughter: "You are already sixteen. In the blink of an eye, you will be seventeen. You are already an old girl. In the past, there was nothing you could do. Now that you have someone in front of you, why can't you think about it!"

Jingli had no choice but to analyze to her mother: "You are called Renren. Dr. He is married, but he can't find his family at the moment."

"As Zhu Chengcai's daily knower said, I am a knife-carrying man, and I can't stand it!"

Su didn't give up and said, "What about Master Huo? He is polite and doesn't take off his book bag, and he doesn't put on airs when talking to your grandpa and the others. Isn't it nice to see him?"

A pebble hit the tip of the wormwood in Jingli, startling the little gray bird: "That's even more impossible. I was born into a wealthy family, and now I have a future in Chang'an. Even Haitang doesn't want to disturb my family." Brother, it would be nice of you to let me, a peasant girl, go to your young master."

Su Shi felt a little frustrated for a moment: "Isn't his family a low-ranking family? Why are they so high-ranking that they can't reach them?"

Jing Lixin said: This is not a question of whether to climb or not. I am afraid that someone will bite my neck off while sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

Jing Li put her arm around Su's shoulders and said, "Don't worry. I will bring you a clean and good son-in-law in the future, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
