Chapter 1139 The Only Reliance

The girl's surname is Chu, and she doesn't have a formal name, and people in the country don't pay much attention to it.

When her parents were still alive, they called her Nier.

Later, her parents were gone, so no one called her Ni'er anymore, and everyone in the village called her Xiao Chu when they saw her.

The reason why she took Kong Chan back was out of a moment of kindness.

She originally planned to let Kong Chan leave after he recovered from his injury. After all, men and women are different, and living together can easily arouse others' comments.

But after getting along for a while, Xiao Chu was a little reluctant to let Kong Chan leave.

Since the death of her parents, Xiao Chu has always lived alone. Whether she is eating or going out or celebrating festivals, she will always be alone. She is used to it.

But after picking up Kong Chan, her life changed.

Every time she came home, she could see Kong Chan waiting for her when she opened the door.

When eating, she would tell Kong Chan about interesting things that happened in the village while eating, often laughing while talking.

Seeing that she was having a hard time carrying water and chopping firewood, Kong Chan would stretch out his hand to help. He has great strength, and those things that are difficult for Xiao Chu are easy for him.

Once when she was going up the mountain to gather herbs, it suddenly rained heavily on the way, and she had to go home early. She was very anxious at that time, because before she went out this morning, she saw that the sun was good, so she moved all the bedding at home I went to dry in the yard.

It's raining so much now, those quilts must be wet.

There are only two quilts in the house. If they are all wet, they will have no quilts to cover tonight.

When Xiao Chu ran back in a hurry with a bamboo basket on his back, he ran into Kong Chan holding an oil-paper umbrella at the entrance of the village.

She couldn't help but froze.

The tall and straight man stood quietly in the rain and mist, holding an old oil-paper umbrella, and the rainwater hit the umbrella surface, making a pattering sound.

Everything around has been blurred by the rain and fog, making it dreamlike.

The figure of the man became more and more clear, and it was deeply burned into the bottom of Xiao Chu's heart.

Kong Chan used an oil-paper umbrella to cover her from the rain.

Xiao Chu stared at him blankly: "Did you come to pick me up on purpose?"

Kong Chan didn't answer, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his tone was slightly impatient.

"Let's go back."

When the two returned home, Xiao Chu found that the bedding that had been drying in the yard had already been taken 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 once again secretly rejoicing in her heart.

Fortunately, there was someone else at home, otherwise she would have to sleep wrapped in a wet quilt tonight.

Later, a drunk bum knocked on the door, yelling some dirty words.

Xiao Chu was terrified, holding the scythe for mowing grass tightly with both hands, hiding in the house and not daring to go out.

Because she lives alone, and because she is young and beautiful, there are often some unruly men who harass her. Tonight is not the first time, nor will it be the last time.

The courtyard door was slammed.

Xiao Chu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She prayed silently in her heart that the man outside would leave quickly.

The door was pulled open from inside.

The drunk man outside the door didn't expect the door to open suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed. Before he could see who the person in front of him was, he stretched out his salty pig's hand and rushed towards him, saying some nasty things in his mouth. Dirty talk.

As a result, before the person touched him, he was kicked and flew upside down, and fell to the ground hard, screaming in pain.

The drunk man struggled to get up.

He looked up full of resentment, but happened to meet a pair of cold and gloomy eyes.

Kong Chan just looked at him so coldly, his eyes full of killing intent.

The drunk man woke up suddenly.

He knew that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, and he didn't dare to fart, so he ran away in a desperate manner.

When Xiao Chu poked his head out of the room cautiously holding the sickle, he saw that the courtyard door had been closed again.

Her gaze happened to meet Kong Chan who had just turned around.

Xiao Chu hurriedly asked, "Has that man left already?"

Kong Chan replied a little impatiently: "Yes."

Xiao Chu was overjoyed immediately.

She put down the sickle and showed a big smile at Kong Chan.

"Thank you!"

Once again she was sincerely grateful.

Fortunately, he was here, otherwise she wouldn't know how to get through tonight.

When Kong Chan said this, his voice softened unknowingly.

"Although she didn't say it, I can feel that she needs me very much."

Xiao Xixi observed the change in his expression and asked tentatively.

"She likes you?"

Kong Chan: "Yes."

Xiao Xixi: "Then you like her too?"

Kong Chan was disdainful: "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 Zen was stunned.

He wanted to refute, but raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, only to find that the corner of his mouth was indeed raised.

This discovery caught him by surprise.

For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.

In the end, he could only explain bluntly: "I do have some affection for her, but it is far from the point where I like her. I just think she is somewhat similar to me. We are all poor people who are not wanted or cared about."

Xiao Xixi: "So not only did you not kill her, but you stayed to live with her?"

Kong Chan did live with Xiao Chu for a period of time.

In fact, he wanted to leave several times, but every time he wanted to leave, he would think of Xiao Chu's pitiful appearance when he was drenched by the rain.

If he left and it rained again in the future, no one would give her an umbrella, and no one would come forward when she was in danger.

How can she, a weak woman, survive in this dangerous world?

All she can rely on is him.

So Kong Chan gave up the idea of ​​leaving again and again.

He has not been valued by his master since he was a child, and his senior brother is only superficially polite to him,

No one has ever paid special attention to his feelings, and no one needs him as urgently as Xiao Chu, and even regards him as the only one to rely on.

This strong sense of being needed made Kong Chan feel both strange and vaguely expecting.

He didn't know what he was expecting?

Anyway, he just couldn't bear to leave.

It's like a ship drifting, finally finding a harbor where it wants to dock.

Kong Chan gradually got used to the atmosphere of living with Xiao Chu.

If the weather is fine, he will accompany Xiao Chu into the mountains to gather herbs, and he will also accompany her to the town to sell herbs.

If it rains or snows, they stay in the house together.

Xiao Chu sat by the window doing needlework, while Kong Chan took out the old furniture at home and repaired it. He was not very familiar with carpentry work. It's getting easier and easier.
