The day is coming to an end, and the sunset is on the west mountain.

Lin Chi held a bucket of water in both hands, and dragged his back to the courtyard gate with difficulty. His spine, which should have been upright, was hunched by the weight of his hands. The skinny arms that were so thin were bruised with blue veins. extremely terrifying.

He originally wanted to pour the dirty water into the sewers not far from the entrance of the village. However, the bucket was too heavy, and Lin Chi's body was numb again, and his eyes were black. He barely moved a few steps without noticing the stones under his feet. The broken wooden barrel rolled out several times, and the dirty water splashed all over him.

There was a burning pain in the palm of his hand, but Lin Chi didn't have the heart to take a look, and got up in a hurry, full of prayers that the wooden barrel would not be broken, otherwise the second aunt would start scolding again. He was dizzy, he finally stood up and fell to the ground again, the mud dots collapsed on his face, and the beating was painful.

Lin Chi climbed several times but couldn't get up, feeling sad inexplicably.

The pain of being abused and beaten merged with the depressed consciousness of the illness, the grievances in my heart piled up, and finally found an outlet to burst out, Lin Chi simply couldn't bear it anymore, and sat on the ground with tears dripping down.

This was the first time he shed tears after his father left, and he didn't know why. His usual forbearance and indifference had all disappeared. At this moment, he just wanted to cry. I don't know if it's because of the fall or the self who is about to be assigned by the official, the more tears flowed, the more blurred the vision.

This is what Lu Ciyu saw when he came out.

The skinny boy in tattered clothes sat paralyzed in the middle of the sewage and wept, his eyes were red and swollen from his own rubbing, and his face was dizzy with tears and smeared a few pieces of dirt that I don't know whether it was soot or mud, looking very pitiful.

Lu Ciyu stood there awkwardly for a while, neither advancing nor retreating.

It was Lin Chi, who has always been sensitive. He noticed that someone seemed to be watching him, and when he looked up, he was stunned.

Standing in front of him was a man in his twenties. Although it looks a little weird with a big strange package on his back and hair that is neither long nor short, it does not affect his handsomeness in the slightest.

Lin Chi didn't know those idioms that describe people, but he only knew that the person in front of him was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Even the young masters of the landlord Liu's family at the head of the village couldn't compare to him.

Lu Ciyu saw his red eyes staring at him dumbfoundedly, like the rabbit he hit on the mountain in the morning. It was a little funny in my heart, and I couldn't help but bring out a few points on my face, and then I cleared my throat and looked solemn, speaking a half unfamiliar local dialect with strange pronunciation, and started the performance according to the "script" that I had rehearsed many times in my heart:

"In Xia Lu Ciyu, Jiang Nanqing Yan people, I have no intention of escaping here, may I ask if this brother is from this village?" The

voice was also so nice... Magnetic and gentle, Lin Chi blushed immediately. The hot stinging pain in the palm reminded him of the embarrassment at the moment, and the inferiority and cowardice in his heart emerged spontaneously, like a gorgeous and cold poisonous snake tightly entangled in his heart, tightening and gnawing.

He bowed his head and replied, "Yes".

Lu Ciyu could see his embarrassment, but he met Lin Chi for the first time, and because the other party was a brother, he could only pretend not to know: "I have something to look for Lizheng, can you ask this little brother to tell me? Where should I find him?"

Lin Chi pointed the way to him, but the layout of the houses in their village had no plan. The villagers built their houses wherever there was vacant land and land deeds. The twists and turns, Wannian Lu's idiot Lu Ciyu was confused and his eyes circled.

Seeing this, Lin Chi sighed helplessly: "I...I'll take the young master."

Lu Ciyu hurriedly thanked him, and picked up the wooden barrel on the ground one step ahead of him and handed it over.

He also wanted to step up and help people up, but after carefully inquiring about the news for more than half a month in the vicinity, Lu Ciyu also knew the difference between the so-called "brother" and "man".

The dynasty he belonged to placed great importance on Dafang. If he touched this brother today, the reputation of the other party would be ruined.

Lu Ciyu was born in the 21st century, and in his heart he rejected the feudal cancer thinking that there are differences between men and women, but he also knew very well that this was the mainstream thinking of the dynasty he was in. He felt relieved on impulse, The girl who was implicated by him should be thrown into the river by Shentang. Therefore, he could only keep a distance and follow behind others, watching the thin and frail young man stumble and stagger to lead him the way.

Lin Chi's second aunt's house is located on the left side of the village, while Lizheng lives in the west of the village, so he has to pass through half the village.

At this moment, it was evening, and the air was filled with a warm breath of tiredness. Every household ran out of food and gathered in twos and threes to gossip at the door of their respective houses or under a big tree. Lin Chi and Lu Ciyu attracted almost everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

Without him, in this era, productivity was backward, and the buds of science and technology had not yet emerged. Farming and farming were all relying on the strength of the villagers. His body has been severely overdrawn all the year round, and he is also frugal and malnourished. All of them are short and thin, and their complexion is dark and yellow. The height of Lu Ciyu is really eye-catching.

The Lu family is of a scholarly family. Lu Ciyu was coddled and grew up since she was a child, and even when she encountered the end of the world, she became like a duck to water with special abilities. Maybe all the hardships she had suffered in her life were gathered in this person who had crossed over. It's been half a month.

His complexion was fair and ruddy, and the knuckles of the hand carrying the wooden barrel were distinct, and there was not even a thin callus on his hand, which was more delicate and beautiful than that of the girls in the village. They were also wearing clothes of which they could not see the material. The fabric was thick and tight, every inch and every piece was flat and smooth, and the edges were embroidered with patterns dyed in bright colors. It was very valuable at first glance.

There are many people in the village who do odd jobs by doing embroidery for the clothing store in the town. This is the first time I have seen this kind of material, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing Lu Ciyu's heart tightened - this was the least eye-catching cosplay clothes he found after rummaging in the space for a long time. After the end of the world, the weather changed suddenly, Lu Ciyu thought that it was just a layer of cloth. They were put into the space together. Could it be that some details on this dress also violated the taboos of this dynasty? !

On his side, he began to prepare the language to explain the speech, and Lin Chi had already called people to say hello one by one.

"Second brother Lin, who is this son behind you?". The old man who was sitting under the big tree smoking a dry tobacco bag could not help but ask.

"Back to the second uncle, I met this son Lu at the entrance of the village." Lin Chi paused, "He wants to find Lizheng...".

Lu Ciyu took a step forward, bowed his hands and said: "Xia Lu Ciyu, born in Jiangnan, did not intend to come here, and wants to settle here, where is Lizheng?" The

old man sat up straight and narrowed his eyes: "Settle down?".

Lu Ciyu didn't dodge or evade and looked back: "Exactly."

The old man took a breath of dry cigarettes, looked at his brocade clothes again, and seemed to have thought of something, nodded and smiled: "I happened to meet him when I came, and just now he said that he would go to the ground to see, if you want to find him, you can Don't delay and go now, lest he go and find no one in a while."

Lu Ciyu and Lin Chi quickly thanked them, said goodbye to everyone under the tree and turned to leave.

Seeing the two of them disappear from sight, the villagers who had been watching silently just now began to discuss each other. The old man casually knocked the cigarette ashes and thought casually: This village will be lively in the next few months.

"The old man just now is the second uncle," Lin Chi said as he walked.

"He is Lizheng's uncle, and he is the oldest person in several nearby villages. Although he has never done anything, he has a high prestige. Although the village is settled under Lizheng's management, it is difficult for these clan elders to object."

Lu Ciyu nodded while listening. The Tian/chao clan lived together, and in some places the elders had even more power than local officials. Now that he is in ancient times, although it is an overhead dynasty, it is still essential to have a good relationship with these elders.

When Lin Chi saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, he couldn't help but said, "But Mr. Lu, don't worry, he just said that he didn't have any opinion on you, and then it's fine as long as Li Zheng agrees."

Lu Ciyu regained his senses and couldn't help but smile: "I know, thank you Brother Lin."

Lin Chitong blushed and stopped talking.

The two of them arrived at just the right time. Li Zheng walked out of the courtyard with his sleeves on his sleeve. Lin Chi had regained his usual expression. After asking, he said, "What's wrong with Uncle Li Zheng?

" : "It turned out to be the second brother Lin, what can I do, I just want to go to the field in my spare time after dinner to have a look."

Lu Ciyu looked carefully, Lizheng was probably in his fifties, he looked simple and honest, ordinary and ordinary, but he didn't dare to be careless. It's so easy to be a righteous person in the village.

Lin Chi and Li Zheng had already said that Lu Ciyu wanted to settle here, and Li Zheng nodded at him and let him in.

A middle-aged woman in the yard was cleaning the yard, and when she saw Lin Chi come in, she kindly held his hand: "Brother Chi, you haven't come to see your aunt for a long time, but your second auntie's mouth is broken again. already?"

Lin Chi didn't want to mention the bad things about his family in front of Lu Ciyu, so he looked helpless and glanced at Lu Ciyu: "Auntie, there are still people here."

Only then did the middle-aged woman see Lu Ciyu who came in with Lizheng. She was startled by his appearance, and stopped talking, nodding at Lu Ciyu embarrassingly, and said to Lizheng, "I'll go give it to him. You make tea, and you go into the house and talk slowly."

"That... auntie doesn't need to work." Lu Ciyu asked others, how could she let her make tea.

"Ordinary white water will do, thank you auntie."

With a smile on his face, he is generous and polite, and good-looking people always get more preferential treatment. Mrs. Lizheng smiled shyly, and dragged Lin Chi into the kitchen to gossip, thinking as she walked: What a polite and good boy.

Lu Ciyu and Li Zheng entered the main room, sat down, took a deep breath, and started his performance.
