Chapter 1
There are Anzhou in the northernmost part of Dayuan. Outside Anzhou, there are mountains, high mountains and deep forests, and there are many wild animals. Naturally, hunters gather here. Almost half of the fur used in Dayuan every year comes from here.

The capital city of Anzhou is not big, and it is only lively for three months in autumn every year. Now there is still more than one month to celebrate the New Year, and all the caravans are returning south, so it is inevitable that the city will be deserted.

Thirty miles north of Fucheng, there is a village called Laoxiongling. It is said that a long time ago, black bears were the most popular, and they often appeared. Orion settled down.

The years are quiet and good, flowing slowly like a small river, the village gradually grows, and there are eighteen families.

When there are too many people, there will naturally be more conflicts, but as the old saying goes, every time more people are slaughtered in righteousness, it is the most heartless scholars.

None of the hunters have read any books, and they take care of each other when hunting together.Therefore, even though their surnames are different and their ancestral homes are all over the world, they get along like a family on weekdays.

Most of the [-] courtyards in Laoxiongling are wooden houses, which are easy and cheap to obtain materials, but they look simple and rough from a distance.

But the tallest courtyard on the mountain is a brick and tile structure, with two front and rear entrances, the courtyard walls are solid, and the gray tiles look clean, which is quite a bit of pride.

With a bitter face, Lu Xiaomi broke off the dead branches in his hand and stuffed them into the stove, and finally looked at the gate of the yard for the hundredth time.

Today, for the second time, the boss of the Lu family took the family's grain into the city to exchange money at the grain and oil shop.The sun left before leaving the mountain, and now the sun has not come back after noon, which really worried her.

In the main house, Father Lu, who was in the middle of the year, was propping his chin on an old book in one hand and staring at the sky in a daze. Perhaps he thought of his wife Bai, who passed away not long ago, who was also Lu Xiaomi's mother.

Lu Xiaomi originally wanted to ask his father to add some charcoal to the charcoal basin, but seeing him like this, he swallowed the words back, lowered his head, and tried to break off the branches as if they were inexplicable enemies.

"I'm not depressed, I want contentment, contentment!"

Speaking of which, she has been in Lu's house for two months. No, to be precise, she should have "borrowed" at Lu's house for two months.

In her previous life, she was an abandoned baby who was thrown in front of the orphanage. After finally growing up and finishing college, she just got her first month's salary at work.Excitedly, he rushed back to the orphanage, bought the old director's medicine, stationery, shoes and socks for his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect a car accident, he opened his eyes and came to this place where no shit, and became the youngest of the Lu family. daughter.

Well, she had no relatives since she was a child, but now she has more memories, a father and three brothers, so it's not a bad thing to have someone who loves her.

However, this father and the three elder brothers really have the ability to make her angry anytime, anywhere!
The old man of the Lu family, the hero who made the black bear fearful, built this compound almost on the blood and tears of the black bear, and opened thirty acres of fertile fields at the foot of the mountain. As long as Father Lu is not a fool, he can guarantee food and clothing for the rest of his life don't worry.

However, it just so happened that the Lu family just had to live so hard that they almost drank the northwest wind.

When Lu Xiaomi first woke up, he didn't even have time to sort out the memory of the original owner for a few days, and started to take over the daily life of the Lu family compound.

There was no other reason, since she was lucky enough to get another chance to live, she couldn't starve to death within a few days.

I hired someone to snatch back a pitiful little pile of corn sticks, two stacks of sorghum, and a dozen bags of wheat in the field, and winter has already arrived.

Father Lu volunteered to pay taxes and food, and sold some money to live at home. Unexpectedly, he only brought back an ancient book in the end.

Lu Xiaomi was so angry that he didn't talk to his unreliable father for half a month. Today, he divided the family's one-third of the rations and let the elder brother go to the city.

It's about the family's oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cotton jacket and cotton shoes throughout the winter, how could she not think about it?
Maybe God threw Lu Xiaomi to Lu's house because of guilt, and his mercy reminded him of the sound of horseshoes outside Lu's house.

Lu Xiaomi immediately threw away the "enthusiastic" stove and ran to the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother, you are back! How is it? How many taels of silver did you sell?"

Boss Lu was born with a red face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure. He is a typical honest and honest young man in the crop yard.

However, seeing his younger sister looking at him expectantly at this moment, he shrank his head, wishing he could find a way to sneak in.

"That, Xiaomi, my..."

Lu Xiaomi tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, and asked through gritted teeth, "Brother, don't you even sell a whole cart of grain?"

"No! No! There are eight hundred words!"

Boss Lu quickly pulled out the warm copper coins from his arms, and stuffed them into his younger sister's hand.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiaomi's face was even uglier.

"For a cart of grain, sorghum and millet are divided in half. According to the current grain price, there is at least two taels of silver. Brother, why do you think it is [-] Wen?"

"Uh, Xiaomi..." Boss Lu's eyes were full of guilt, and he rubbed his big hands subconsciously, "When I entered the city, I saw how pitiful those refugees were, so I...well, gave them half a car."

"Poor?" Lu Xiaomi couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped up and shouted angrily, "Boss Lu, do you know that this is the family's ration! Our family is going to be hungry in winter, and you still feel sorry for him! Are you Isn’t it necessary to exchange the entire Lu family compound for food to help the refugees! On the anniversary of my mother’s death, let the refugees clean up the sacrifices? Let the third brother’s Shuxiu also let the refugees go out? Let the refugees sew the cotton clothes for a family of five? Isn’t it! "

Lu Xiaomi was really angry. Ever since she became the youngest daughter of the Lu family, she had been trying her best to plan and live, but the four and a half Lu family father and son couldn't help at all, and they knew how to hold her back.She can't be beaten or scolded, she can only be so angry that she wants to jump off the building!

Boss Lu immediately panicked when he saw the younger sister pulling the sleeve of the old coat and wiping her eyes.Originally, the family life was good, but both mother and younger sister were ill before, and spent all the savings in the family. After the mother passed away, the father insisted on most of the funerals, which made things worse.

Otherwise, there would be no need for my sister to worry about her life. Originally, he also wanted to help, and planned to sell some food to make a new jacket for his sister, but the refugees outside the city were really pitiful, so he was soft-hearted...

"Xiaomi, don't cry, I made a mistake, I won't dare to do it again next time..."

Boss Lu turned around in a hurry, wishing to give himself two mouths, as long as the girl could stop the tears.

Father Lu in the room finally regained his mind of not knowing which world Yunyou went to. He threw away his books and ran out when he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard door.

"Father, big brother and second brother, come and help!"

Before the voice hit the ground, a young scholar in a blue cotton robe and a square scarf rushed in from outside the door.The same thick eyebrows and big eyes, but thin and thin body, a bit more bookish than Boss Lu, but it also makes people know that he is from the Lu family at first sight.

Boss Lu happily pulled the young scholar away, and shouted, "Third brother, you are back, I was thinking about going to meet you on the road tomorrow."

That's right, the young scholar is Lu Qian, the third child of the Lu family studying in a foreign academy.

Lu Qian didn't bother to catch up with his elder brother right now, so he hurriedly asked for help, "Brother, I encountered bandits on the way back, thanks to Brother Feng for saving my life. But Brother Feng was injured, so I brought them back together."

"Ah, where is the person, invite him in quickly."

Several members of the Lu family rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and saw a small green cloth carriage parked at the gate.The horse is an old horse, the car is a broken car, and there are even a few "big mouths" on the curtains, drinking the north wind happily.

But there was a boy in red clothes standing by the car door, about seven or eight years old, white and fat, with braids on the top of his head, if you ignore the unruly and impatience on his face, he is a cute kid.

An old servant in a gray jacket was helping the young master out of the car.

The young master was about 20 years old, wearing an indigo blue brocade robe, hair tied with wooden hairpins, and a large area of ​​dried blood on his slanted right leg was very eye-catching.

Xu Shi got out of the car and bumped into the wound, he frowned slightly, pain flashed in his dark eyes, his lips were tightly pressed, but there was still a trace of pain remaining between his brows.

Perhaps the Lu family did not expect that the savior brought back by Lu Qian would be such a character, and they were a little dazed for a while.

On the contrary, Lu Xiaomi carefully looked at the cloth strips tied on the young man's legs, and quickly pushed Boss Lu, "Brother, please go and invite Third Uncle Bi, he is best at setting bones. Remember to tell him to bring the best If he refuses to come after drinking, you can say that I will never serve him wine again after I marinate the chicken feet."

After that, she kicked Lu Laosan again, "Third brother, go and open the east room where you live, and put the quilt on it, and prepare to let this young man rest. The kang is lit in the morning, and you can move the brazier in the main room. I will go Boil the water, and Uncle Bi will come later to use it."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Boss Lu responded and ran down the ridge, and Lu Qian quickly turned around and entered the yard.

A distribution, neat and clean, no worse than a powerful headed housewife, but it is completely unexpected that it came from a little girl.

Not to mention the gray-coated old man, even the young man who was frowning in pain raised his head curiously.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaomi has already rushed to the kitchen with two braids tossing, leaving only a thin and nimble back for everyone.

Father Lu went forward to salute the young son, thanked him for saving his son, and finally helped let the three master and servant into the east wing.

In the past few days, preparing for Lu's third son to come back from winter vacation at any time, Lu Xiaomi burned the big kang early, got up early and plugged a few wooden trippers, and the big kang was scorching hot at the moment.

Leaning on Xuanruan's quilt with the scent of saponins, Feng Jian's pale face soon eased a little as the heat came from under him.

The gray-coated old man also sat sideways on the edge of the kang, while the little boy in red got on the kang a long time ago.

When Lu Xiaomi brought hot water and a roll of white cotton cloth into the house, Boss Lu arrived with a half-drunk Uncle Bi on his back.

After cutting off the blood-stained cotton trousers, the rolled-up flesh and bones with faint white stubbles were exposed.

The members of the Lu family gasped in fright. Although people in the village were always injured when hunting, and the second child of the Lu family was also a martial artist, this was the first time they had seen such a serious injury.

Such a young son, who seems to be from a wealthy family, has such a tenacious heart, that he can endure such a journey...
