Chapter Thirty-Nine: Broken

After seeing Xia Changfeng take advantage of him, she went to the clan leader.

The patriarch also saw the blood stains on her clothes and asked with concern: "Isn't it going well?"

"When I came back, someone among the Miao people wanted to kill me."

The patriarch was frightened, coughing from the hookah, and looked at her nervously.

"I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back to see you. It's just that I think we may have to enmity with the Miao people. The world outside is very chaotic now, and there are many refugees in the county. Food is priced one day, I think.

We have to be prepared, the white tiger's den may not be safe."

"What do you mean?"

"The fields still need to be cultivated to ensure our food for the winter and next year. We also need to take some preventive measures. Whether it is the Miao people seeking revenge or refugees and robbers, we will not be confused when the time comes."

"We are so poor that we have nothing, and this is a white tiger's den. No one will come to rob our homes, right?"

"I heard that during wars and famines in the past, children were sold and their daughters were eaten, and there were even rumors of cannibalism."

The clan leader swallowed his saliva. He also knew these legends. That was when Xia Gaozu was young.

“I think it’s important to nip problems before they happen.”

"Wait a minute." He turned around, rummaged in the box for a long time, and took out a book: "Xiao Chan, see if this is useful?"

Xia Chan took it and took a look: "Is this a book about fighting?"

"It was left by you, Xia Gaozu, but our Xia family is not as good as the previous generation, and the men are even more pampered in the family. Let's not mention it. Fortunately, you are the supporter of the clan now. I will leave this book to you. I am old

, I’m afraid that if I suddenly disappear one day, this book will also be destroyed, which would be a pity.”

Xia Chan thought for a while and put it away: "I will cherish the good ones, and they will be handed over to the descendants of the Xia family in the end. The children in our clan are all the best now, so we should train them well and guide them in the future.

Maybe he is also a good man who is upright and upright."

As long as there are descendants, there is hope, and adversity can temper people even more.

Just after returning to the small building, Sun Ning called from downstairs again: "Xiaochan."

Xia Chan glanced at him: "Is there something urgent? Or is there something wrong with the farm tools?" Her face turned red when she saw him running away.

"No, Xia Yao is digging the ground. I went to the mountains to fetch water for you to drink."

"Why did you run so far?"

“The water there is particularly sweet.”

She took a sip, and it seemed to be really refreshing and sweet. After drinking it, her fatigue disappeared, and her throat felt particularly comfortable.

"Xiaochan, your feet are bleeding, what's wrong?"

"The snake bites me. Please help me call Dr. Cai to take care of it. Don't let my mother know about it by making noises."

She rolled up her trouser legs, her white and tender legs were stained with blood, and the snake bite marks were horrifying.

Roll up your sleeves and do the same on your arms.

Sun Ning took a breath: "Xiaochan, you..."

How could she not be afraid? How could she be so calm?

Xia Chan saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "What am I afraid of? I bought snake medicine in the county and took it after I was bitten. These are just flesh wounds, it's okay."

"But, you used to be most afraid of snakes."

She looked at him calmly: "The past was before, the present is now, everyone is changing. Look at you before, besides learning some sour articles, what else would you do? Can you cook? Can you chop?

Wood, or do you know how to farm with a hoe?"

Sun Ning lowered his head, yes, everyone is changing.

It's just that she was too fast, making it difficult for him to keep up.
