The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day - Chapter 1139
Chapter 1139 The Only Reliance
The girl’s surname is Chu, without an official name, and the country folks don’t pay much attention to this.
When her parents were still alive, they called her Nier.
Later, her father and mother were gone, so no one called her Nier anymore. People in the village called Xiao Chu when they saw her.
The reason why she picked Kong Chan back was out of good intentions.
She originally planned to let him leave when Kong Zen recovered. After all, there are differences between men and women, and living together can easily arouse other people’s discussion.
But after getting along for a while, Xiao Chu was a little bit reluctant to let Kong Chan leave.
Since the death of her parents, Xiao Chu has always lived by herself. Whether she goes out for dinner or during the holidays, she will always be the only one. She has been used to it.
But after taking Kong Zen back, her life changed.
Every time she goes home, she opens the door to see Kong Zen waiting for her.
When eating, she would tell Kong Chan about interesting events in the village while she was eating. She often laughed as she talked.
Seeing that she was struggling to carry water and chop wood, Kong Chan would also reach out to help. He was strong, and those things that were difficult for Xiao Chu to do were easy for him.
Once she went up the mountain to gather herbs, and there was heavy rain halfway down the road. She had to go home ahead of time. She was in a hurry at that time, because before going out this morning, she saw that the sun was good, so she moved all the bedding at home. Go drying in the yard.
It’s raining so heavily now that the bedding must have been wet.
There are only two quilts at home. If they are all wet, they will have no quilts to cover tonight.
When Xiao Chu ran back in a hurry with the bamboo basket on his back, he ran into empty Zen holding a paper umbrella at the entrance of the village.
She couldn’t help being stunned.
The tall and straight man stood quietly in the rain and fog, holding an old oil-paper umbrella, the rain fell on the umbrella, making a popping sound.
Everything around has been blurred by the rain and mist, and it has become dreamlike.
The figure of the man became clearer, and it was deeply burned into Xiao Chu’s heart.
Kong Zen uses a paper umbrella to help her cover the rain.
Xiao Chu looked at him startledly: “Are you here to pick me up?”
Kongzen did not answer, frowned slightly, and his tone was slightly impatient.
“Let’s go back.”
The two returned home, Xiao Chu found that the bedding that had been dried in the courtyard had already been put into the house, because it was collected in time and the bedding was not wet.
Xiao Chu breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, she was secretly thankful again in her heart.
Fortunately, there is still someone in the family, otherwise she will have to sleep in a wet quilt tonight.
Later, a drunk second-rate came to smash the door, yelling some unclean words.
Xiao Chu was so frightened that he held the scythe for mowing the grass tightly in both hands, hiding in the house and dared not go out.
Because she lives alone, plus she is young and beautiful, there are often some unscrupulous men to harass her, this evening is not the first time, and it will not be the last time.
The gate of the courtyard was photographed banging.
Xiao Chu was so scared that her face paled, she prayed silently in her heart, praying that the man outside would leave soon.
The door was pulled open from inside.
The drunk man outside the door unexpectedly opened. He was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed. Before he could see who the person in front of him was, he stretched out his hand and rushed towards the other party, still saying something unbearable in his mouth. Obscene words.
As a result, before people even touched him, he was kicked upside down and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
The drunkard took a lot of effort to get up.
He looked up with resentment, but he happened to face a pair of cold and gloomy eyes.
Kong Zen looked at him so coldly, his eyes full of killing intent.
The drunkard was frightened awake all at once.
He knew that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, and he didn’t dare to put a fart, so he immediately ran away dingy.
When Xiao Chu carefully poked his head out of the house holding the sickle, he saw that the courtyard door had been closed again.
Her gaze coincided with Kong Zen who had just turned around.
Xiao Chu hurriedly asked, “Has that person gone?”
Kong Chanlue somewhat impatiently responded, “Yes.”
Xiao Chu was overjoyed immediately.
She put down her sickle, and Chongkong Zen gave a big smile.
“Thank you!”
She was once again sincerely grateful.
Fortunately, he is here, otherwise she doesn’t know how to get through tonight.
When Kong Chan said this, his voice softened unconsciously.
“Although she didn’t say it, I can feel it. She needs me very much.”
Xiao Xixi observed the changes in his expression and asked tentatively.
“She likes you?”
Kongzen: “Yeah.”
Xiao Xixi: “Then you like her too?”
Kongzen disdain: “How could I like her? I just looked at her pitifully and helped her.”
Xiao Xixi: “Then why do you always smile when you mention her.”
Kong Chan was stunned.
He wanted to refute, but he raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, only to find that the corner of his mouth was indeed raised.
This discovery made him unexpected.
He didn’t know how to deal with it for a while.
In the end, he could only explain hardly: “I do have some good feelings for her, but it is far from what I like. I just think she is somewhat similar to me. We are all poor people who are unwilling and uncontrollable.”
Xiao Xixi: “So not only did you not kill her, but instead stayed with her to live with her?”
Kongzen really lived with Xiao Chu for a while.
He actually wanted to leave several times, but every time he wanted to leave, he would think of Xiao Chu’s pitiful appearance when he was soaked in the rain.
If he leaves and it rains in the future, no one will give her an umbrella, and no one will come forward when she is in danger.
She is a weak woman, how can she survive in this sinister world?
She can only rely on him.
So Kong Chan gave up the thought of leaving again and again.
He has not been taken seriously by his master since he was a child, and his brother is only superficially polite to him.
No one has ever cared about his feelings in particular, and no one needs him as urgently as Xiao Chu, or even regards him as his only support.
This kind of strong sense of need makes Kong Chan feel strange and a little faintly looking forward to it.
He doesn’t know what he is expecting?
He just couldn’t bear to leave anyway.
is like a wandering ship, and finally found the harbor where he wanted to dock.
Kong Zen gradually got used to the atmosphere of living with Xiao Chu.
If the weather is good, he will accompany Xiao Chu to the mountain to gather herbs, and accompany her to sell herbs in the town.
If it rains or snows, they stay in the house together.
Xiao Chu was sitting by the window doing needlework, while Kong Chan took out the old furniture at home to repair. He was not very familiar with carpentry work. At first he didn’t know where to start. Later, he gradually explored the doorway and worked hard. It’s getting faster and faster.
