The reborn peasant girl wants to turn over

Chapter 48 Gifts
Li Xiuxiu didn't know that after she bought the pen holder, the old man really packed up his luggage and left after counting the money.The next day, when Wang Xiaosi and the other two returned to the old man, they said they found someone who had gone to the empty building, climbed over the wall and searched around, but couldn't find what they were looking for.Of course, these have nothing to do with Li Xiuxiu, no one knows that the pen holder was cut off by Li Xiuxiu.

With a pen holder in her arms, Li Xiuxiu made two rounds on purpose before entering the guest house. She was afraid that she would be followed, and she kept her ears sensitively on the way just in case.

After closing the door of the room from the inside, Li Xiuxiu let out a long breath.

I took out the pen holder from my pocket, and looked at it carefully. The pen holder was chicken yellow, and the color looked very round, and it was as smooth as fat when I touched it. Li Xiuxiu liked it when I saw it. The scenery in the pattern on it was very beautiful, and the expressions of the characters were clear. Really, Li Xiuxiu doesn't know how to describe the pattern, but it's very pleasant to look at.

She thought that Chu Tianqi would like this pen holder, and she planned to give it to him when she met Chu Tianqi when she set off for Jiangtian City tomorrow.

Li Xiuxiu didn't go out to eat at noon. It was the first time she did this kind of thing, and she was still quite panicky in her heart. She didn't dare to go out for a walk on the street for fear of being recognized by others. Although the probability of this was very low, she was still very worried. .Just stay in the room of the guest house, drink a few sips of boiled water to support you when you are hungry.

In the evening, Chu Tianqi chatted with his grandmother in an ordinary small courtyard in Dongyuan County, and after sending her back to the room to rest, he suddenly remembered Li Xiuxiu, a rural girl in the guest house.

For this rural girl whose face was full of wounds, Chu Tianqi couldn't explain why, but he always felt very kind, as if he had seen those eyes somewhere before.

That day, on the way back from his comrade-in-arms' house to deliver something, he heard a woman's cry for help from a distance. As a soldier, he must have no hesitation in this situation and went to see the situation.When he saw Li Xiuxiu being ridden under by a man, with disheveled hair and bloody or swollen face, to be honest, he was very disgusted and angry. He felt that beating a woman was a very contemptible thing. Harmony, grandparents also love each other, so they look down on men who beat women.

Originally, he just planned to stop Li Xiuxiu from being beaten, and just give that man a lesson.

But when he saw Li Xiuxiu's eyes, those eyes made him feel very kind, although he couldn't think of why they were so kind.But a string in my heart was touched, especially when I heard Li Xiuxiu say that she was also abducted, I couldn't help but want to do more for her.

I don't know how the girl is doing, whether the wound on her face is better, and whether she has eaten at noon.

Chu Tianqi thought that nothing happened, so he greeted his grandfather, took a box of biscuits from home, and went to the guest house where Li Xiuxiu lived.

The door of the room suddenly rang "Deng Deng Deng -" and Li Xiuxiu, who was struggling with hunger, was taken aback.

She touched her still-shocked chest, and she was stunned for a while before she spoke, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Chu Tianqi."

Li Xiuxiu let out a long breath and went to open the door.

Chu Tianqi was still wearing a green military uniform, holding a box in his hand.

"Brother Chu, why are you here?"

"Come and see you, have you eaten yet?" Chu Tianqi smiled gently, his eyes were full of kindness.

"Eat...Food...? Oh, eat? That—I've eaten—" Li Xiuxiu said uncomfortably, swallowing a mouthful of saliva at the same time.

The corners of Chu Tianqi's mouth curled up, muttering in his heart, this girl's lies are so obvious.

Li Xiuxiu looked at Chu Tianqi's understanding expression, and said involuntarily, "I ate a lot in the morning and I'm not hungry, so I didn't eat..."

Chu Tianqi shook his head, "Then I will take you out for dinner now."

"No need, Brother Chu, I'm really not hungry." Li Xiuxiu still didn't want to go out, even if there was Chu Tianqi next to her, she was afraid that it would break if it was really watched by someone, Chu Tianqi couldn't always be by her side.

Chu Tianqi thought that Li Xiuxiu was afraid of spending money, thinking about how she insisted on paying the rent yesterday, so he didn't insist, and handed her the biscuit box in his hand.

"There's a box of biscuits here, you just fill it with water."

"No need, I'm not hungry." Li Xiuxiu shook her hand vigorously.

"Here, it's specially brought for you."

"Oh, then...thank you, Brother Chu." Li Xiuxiu reached out to take the biscuit.

"You eat first, I'll go out and play." Chu Tianqi turned his head and left.

Most of Li Xiuxiu's attention was on the biscuit in her hand, and Chu Tianqi left before she could react.

She patted herself on the head in frustration again, forgot to give Chu Tianqi the pen holder!

When Li Xiuxiu ate half of the biscuits, Chu Tianqi came back again, and he brought a pot with boiled dumplings inside.

"Xiuxiu, hurry up and eat, otherwise the dumplings will be cold and spoiled, and they won't taste good."

Li Xiuxiu felt sore for a moment, she bit her lip to ease the soreness in her throat, "Brother Chu, why are you so kind to me, I—oh! That's right! Wait a minute."

Li Xiuxiu turned around and took out the pen holder from behind the quilt of the other bed.

"Brother Chu, this pen holder is for you. Thank you for saving my life and treating me so well."

In his heart, Chu Tianqi didn't care about what Li Xiuxiu said about saving her life. He felt that what Li Xiuxiu said was serious, so he just smiled, "You don't have to be polite to me, I just do it smoothly, and it doesn't take much trouble."

Li Xiuxiu insisted on giving the pen holder to Chu Tianqi.

"Brother Chu, I can't bring out anything valuable right now. This pen holder is also a coincidence. I think it can still be seen, so you can accept it, otherwise I'm really uneasy."

Chu Tianqi glanced at the pen holder, and then he was stunned in surprise. His grandfather was a historian, and he used to be a consultant expert in the government museum. Although he is retired now, people from the museum often come to ask for advice, so He also has a little understanding of cultural relics and artworks.

The pen holder in front of me is very exquisite in workmanship, simple in appearance, and the patterns on it are also delicately outlined. It doesn't look like a shoddy thing.

He stopped the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Xiuxiu, do you know the value of this pen holder? It is very precious, and it's not worth giving it away casually."

Li Xiuxiu was happy in her heart, it seemed that this was really a good thing, and it was enough as a thank you gift.

So she said sincerely: "Brother Chu, you saved my life and treated me so well. No matter how precious this pen holder is, it can't compare to my gratitude to you. Fortunately, this thing can still enter your eyes , please accept it."

"I just taught those two people a lesson for you. How could it be life-saving? What you said is too serious."
