Chapter 24 Building a House
There is a little mute in the Hu family, which is well known in Luoyang Mountain.

Ever since Hu Kui and his wife realized that Sanya couldn't speak, they often called her a little mute.

Gradually, people in the village followed suit, and the name Little Mute became Sanya's code name.

However, Hu Xing'er really didn't like others calling her that.

Originally, being unable to speak made her uncomfortable, and she even had low self-esteem, and was reminded every day that she was dumb.

Perhaps only people like Hu Kui and his wife could do such a heartbreaking thing.

Smiling unnaturally at the uncle who called her a little mute, Hu Xing'er scolded Hu Kui and his wife over and over in her heart.

"It's really you, little mute, why don't you go home so late?"

The uncle walked up to her with a torch and asked with concern.

"We're heading home."

Xiao Beimu took a step forward, hugged Xiao Rui and stood in front of Hu Xing'er and said.

"Run home?

You're not the one who bought the little mute, are you? It's so dangerous to take her around outside at such a late hour. "

The uncle saw the scar on Xiao Beimu's face by the light of the fire, and couldn't help but shiver.

But he has a kind heart, and he will boldly remind him.

"Well, what uncle said is that it won't happen next time."

Xiao Beimu looked at Hu Xing'er and answered for her.

"That's good. Where is your home? I'll take you back."

The uncle looked at the young man and asked.

"It's quite far away, so there's no need to send it off, we'll go back right away."

Hu Xing'er glanced at him and pulled him back.

She pointed to the torch in the uncle's hand, and wanted to borrow the torch, or buy it if she couldn't.

"Little dumb, what are you gesticulating, why can't I understand?"

Seeing Hu Xinger making gestures, the uncle scratched the back of his head and asked.

Hu Xing'er pointed to the torch again, and pointed to the underground road.

The uncle didn't know whether it was because he was too old to react slowly, or because the fire was too dim to see Hu Xinger's gestures clearly, and he just didn't understand what she was going to say.

"Uncle, it's getting dark, my Xing'er wants to ask you to borrow a torch so we can go on our way."

Seeing her getting more and more chaotic, Xiao Beimu couldn't help but speak.

Hu Xing'er glanced at him gratefully, he is a good man, and he is willing to translate for her.

"Oh, that's right.

Here, take it. "

The uncle suddenly realized, and handed the torch to Hu Xing'er.

"Be careful on the road. I heard that there are roaring sounds in the mountains these days. You should go back quickly."

Hu Xing'er took the torch, after thinking about it, she still didn't want to take the uncle's things for nothing.

He fumbled in his sleeve, took out a few copper coins and handed them over.

"Hey little dumb, what are you doing? It's just a torch, what is it worth?"

When the uncle saw that she wanted to give you money, he waved his hands again and again.

Hu Xing'er was very stubborn, and still put the money into the uncle's hand.

"Take it, or she will remember to bring you the torch back tomorrow."

Xiao Beimu spoke again, persuading the uncle to accept the copper plate.

Hu Xing'er looked at him again, he was quite interesting.

The uncle held the copper coin, not knowing what to say.

"Uncle, don't call her little dumb when you see her in the future, it's ugly.

Her name is Hu Xing'er, you can call her Hu Xing'er in the future. "

Before leaving, Xiao Beimu said again.

The uncle was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

He has been calling him little mute for ten years, and the Hu family has never said anything.

Now that she is married, the man in her family will feel wronged for her.

It seems that this man is not as unbearable as the villagers say, but he thinks this man is quite good.

Except for the scar on his face and the child in his arms.

With the torch, the speed of the two of them was much faster.

Before Hu Xing'er was exhausted, the two finally rushed back to the cave.

However, looking at this cave with only a pile of hay, she couldn't be happy at all.

In such an environment, she has no sense of belonging at all when she returns home.

After lighting the fire with a torch, Hu Xing'er sat down on the only chair that could be called furniture in the cave.

No, she must sleep well tonight.

The prerequisite for a good night's sleep is to have a good bed and a good quilt.

Unfortunately, these things are available in space supermarkets.

But, this Xiao Beimu has been staying in the cave, how could she buy a bed and quilt from the space supermarket without anyone noticing.

Poking the fire bitterly, Hu Xing'er began to think for the second time how to get rid of this obstructive person without anyone noticing.

"Why are you looking at me like this again? I don't have any evil thoughts about you."

The fire pile was at least five or six meters away from the dry pile. She just glanced at it secretly, could this be discovered?

Could it be that this person has his own infrared sensor, so he can detect anyone who is malicious towards him?

Thinking of this, Hu Xing'er's eyes changed again,
"It's getting late, aren't you tired after walking so far today? Go to bed early."

Xiao Beimu, who had just put Xiao Rui to sleep, said in a low voice, he took the kettle and fetched some water from the pool.

"I remember that you need boiling water to drink milk for Rui'er, you go to sleep, I'll boil the water."

Xiao Beimu took off his clothes and handed them to her, telling her to go to bed first.

Hu Xing'er looked at the big padded coat, and felt that it was really not an option to go on like this.

She has to find out whether Xiao Beimu intends to settle here for a long time, if she only stays for a few days, she can still endure it.

But if she settled down for a long time, she would absolutely not be able to bear such conditions.

Picking up a piece of dry wood, she didn't reach out to pick up the clothes in Xiao Beimu's hands.

[Are we going to live here all the time? ] She wrote a sentence on the ground with dry wood.

Xiao Beimu's expression turned serious, and he nodded lightly.

【why? 】

"No reason, I don't want to go anywhere else."

[But in such an environment, Xiao Rui can easily get cold. 】

She tried to persuade Xiao Rui.

"It's because of him that we have to stay here."

Xiao Beimu looked at the other side of the mountain, and sighed almost unbelievably.

[Then buy something, there is no way to live in such a place. 】

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Hu Xing'er stopped persuading him.

"Well, the velvet antlers sold for a lot of silver today, what do you want, I'll go down the mountain and buy it for you tomorrow."

Of course, Xiao Beimu also knew that such an environment could not last long, and he planned to go down the mountain tomorrow to buy some more things.

[We need to build a house, otherwise there will be snakes, insects, rats and ants after the hot weather, which can easily bite people. ] She continued to write with dry wood.

"Okay, when I have bought enough things, we are going to build a room."

Hu Xing'er was a little surprised by his straightforwardness.

Didn't it mean that bandits are unreasonable? Why is this person so talkative?
