The official career of rebirth

Chapter 423. The girl chopping wood

Before he had time to look carefully at the darkness, Xiaofang's delicate face showed determination, because Xiaofang's father woke up, Xiao Tianruo was politely but firmly invited out of the dark old house by Xiaofang. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

Reminded by Xiao Guozheng, Xiao Tianruo suppressed his concerns that day and did not visit again.

That night, he had a conference call with Zhongzhou through the satellite phone in the study, and Xiao Tianruo returned to his west-facing room after ten o'clock in the evening.Sitting on the edge of the pear blossom wooden bed, Xiao Tianruo vaguely felt that something was wrong.

After contemplating for a moment, Xiao Tianruo turned his head to the window facing west.

At this point, it should be the time when Xiaofang came back to cut firewood after exchanging her mother's daily achievements for money!

Worried that something happened to Xiaofang's house, Xiao Tianruo got behind the curtain and used his divine power to detect it.Xiaofang's mother and father have gone to sleep in the original kitchen at home, and Xiaofang is also well.To Xiao Tianruo's surprise, Xiaofang stood motionless behind the door, delaying opening the back door to cut firewood at the small firewood house dozens of steps away from the dilapidated home.

Not understanding what was wrong, he used divine power several times to confirm that Xiaofang was normal, and Xiao Tianruo just lay at the window and waited for Xiaofang to come out.

The big wall clock in the hall on the first floor rang eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Xiao Tianruo waited while practicing, but under the moonlight, the door that was supposed to open in more than an hour was delayed.

Suddenly, a small detail caught Xiao Tianruo's attention.

The back door of Xiaofang's house was originally sealed, but now a piece of cloth has been removed.After searching for a while with divine power, Xiao Tianruo found that Xiaofang carefully observed the situation outside through this small gap.

Drilling back into the room from behind the curtain, Xiao Tianruo found the switch of the fluorescent light after turning his head around.

After turning off the light, Xiao Tianruo quietly returned to the window in the dark.

The back door, which was originally clear under the double illumination of fluorescent lamps and moonlight, is now only illuminated by half-curved moonlight.Under the night of late spring, after a long silence, Xiaofang opened the door.

She poked her head out, looked up, and confirmed that all the lights in Xiao's house had been turned off, so Xiaofang came out with an ax in hand.

After bending the handle of the axe, one could see that the crudely made axe was leaning against the wall. After carefully closing the back door, Xiaofang sealed the gap with a rag from the outside.After confirming that there were no omissions, Xiaofang picked up the ax and took a step, but was shivering because of the biting cold wind at night.

With a panoramic view of all this, Xiao Tianruo really wanted to jump out of the window and hug this little girl with a rough fate into his arms to take care of her.

Knowing that this will only make Xiao Fang never dare to approach him, Xiao Tianruo rationally gave up such thoughts.

Xiao Tianruo was in a daze for a moment, Xiaofang had already walked to the side of the woodshed holding the wooden handle on the ax that she had installed herself.

Xiaofang skillfully dug out a piece of firewood for tomorrow’s breakfast, set it up and raised the axe. When the delicate figure under the moonlight and the black axe at the end of the curved ax handle fell across a quarter arc, Xiao Tianruo’s heart ached. The throat is also mentioned.Xiao Tianruo was really afraid that those slender arms would break under the heavy load, and the ax would fall on that slender body.

The accident that Xiao Tianruo imagined didn't happen, the ax was raised high but fell gently, it wasn't because Xiaofang didn't have enough strength, it was because she was afraid of waking someone up.This point can be seen from her probing gaze after chopping down with an axe.

First he glanced at the dilapidated old house, and then at the window of Xiao Tianruo's room.In the darkness, Xiaofang's cautious gaze met Xiao Tianruo's gaze for a moment.

No problem was found, so he held the ax with both hands and tried his best to break it. This ax that was afraid of wolves and tigers did not split the firewood enough to separate them.After struggling to pull out the ax under the moonlight, she carefully looked at her home and then looked in Xiao Tianruo's direction, Xiaofang swung the ax again which was in stark contrast to her weak body.

Every time Xiaofang swung a heavy axe, Xiao Tianruo had to worry about her. After Xiaofang dropped the axe, Xiao Tianruo would also hurry to see if her parents were awakened by the sound of her daughter chopping firewood. , even though he knew it was impossible to be discovered, Xiao Tianruo still smiled at her.

After confirming that no one was disturbed, under the moonlight, Xiaofang showed a faint smile of relief.

It took Xiaofang half an hour to chop a wooden stake no bigger than Xiao Tianruo's calf into firewood that could be used for cooking.

Three stakes, three meals in the morning, lunch and evening, the amount for tomorrow's day.Xiaofang finished all this and wiped the sweat from her forehead in the cold wind while supporting the earthen wall of the firewood house. It was already past zero.

Looking at Xiao Fang who had been working carefully for nearly two hours before chopping the firewood, Xiao Tianruo wondered why she didn't take the firewood a little further away to chop it.But when Xiaofang wiped her sweat, she didn't look away from her home, which didn't feel like a "home" at all, Xiao Tianruo understood.It's not that Xiaofang is afraid of the dark and dare not go far, it's that she is worried about her sleeping parents.

After carefully tidying up the firewood to ensure that there will be food for the next day, Xiaofang did not go home immediately.

Smiling, she glanced at the hideous earthen house that looked like a haunted house in the dark, Xiaofang raised her head with an ax and looked up at the half-curved moon.

This angle allowed the moonlight to shine on her face to the maximum extent, and what Xiao Tianruo saw was a slightly clearer girl's face with deep longing.

In order to maintain this family, she gave up everything that a young girl should have. The moment before going back to the house after chopping firewood is the only time Xiaofang can dream.

Beside the osmanthus tree faintly visible on the half-curved moon, is there a supernatural man named Wu Gang chopping firewood every day like her?If there is one, Xiaofang really wants to borrow a sharper ax when he rests.That way, she can spend less time chopping wood at night.After chopping firewood earlier, she can look at the night sky, the stars, and the moon and have more girlish dreams.

I don't know what Xiaofang was thinking, looking at Xiaofang who was smiling gradually under the moonlight but restrained in an instant, Xiao Tianruo only felt that this is the girl who should not bear the pain the most in the world.

If there is a warm family, Xiaofang can grow up carefree.With her beauty, with her knowledge and courtesy, she will definitely marry the best family;

If there is a wealthy family, Xiaofang can learn more knowledge.With her perseverance and self-improvement, she will definitely have a career worthy of her efforts;

As long as there is a family that is not so rough, Xiaofang does not need to swing an ax with her frail arms to chop wood on a bitterly cold night.With the kindness in her heart, she also has the right to dream.But now, she can only look up at the pointed crescent moon and dream of her broken life.

Xiaofang put the ax away and carefully covered the two door panels.Taking two steps back and lying on the bed on his back, Xiao Tianruo's eyes were tear-stained
