Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 8

Why did I agree so casually?

Xia Junyan, who had already entered the mountain, was carrying a basket of ingredients on her back, and tortured her integrity all the way.

Uncle An led Xia Junyan with meat and eggs.

The strong man lived in the old hunter's wooden house in the mountains.According to Uncle An, the old hunter did not communicate with the villagers at first, but sometimes distributed the prey he hunted to the people who went into the mountain in exchange for some salt and other necessary food and cloth.Uncle An is the one who has the most contacts with the old Orion in this village, and about three years ago, the old Orion left the house empty.

"Where did he go?" Xia Junyan asked curiously.

"I don't know." Uncle An shook his head, "I only know that he has some distant relatives, maybe he went to relatives when he was old."

"That strong man is his relative?"

"En." This Uncle An is very sure, otherwise he would not dare to bring Xia Junyan.After the old Orion left, Uncle An visited the wooden house in the mountains every half a month.After being saved by the strong man this time, the strong man also told him about the old Orion.Thinking of the old Orion's withdrawn personality, unless he was acquainted with him, he would definitely not know so much about him.

He also briefly instructed Xia Junyan not to be overwhelmed, how many people in this world are willing to save someone's life in a critical moment regardless of pay?The two chatted all the way and walked into the deep mountains. Fortunately, this road is used to walking, and it is not too steep.

After more than half an hour, the two could barely see the house not far away.Xia Junyan was sweating profusely, her little face was red, and she was panting closely following Uncle An's pace with a basket on her back.

"Strong man!"

Uncle An suddenly yelled, Xia Junyan was taken aback for a moment, and Uncle An strode away the next moment, excitedly said: "Thank you for saving your life, the strong man, the country people don't have any good things, don't dislike them."

The strong man moved his gaze down slowly, took the basket expressionlessly, hummed indifferently, and turned back to the house.

This guy doesn't seem too close...

Xia Junyan stood neither far nor near, wondering whether it would be better for her to go back to the village now.Even though the other party is a chivalrous man, he seems to have a weird personality and seems unwilling to deal with people.Imagine before time travel, how many jobs were changed because of disagreements with colleagues or bosses.

At this time, the strong man packed his things and came out. Uncle An hurriedly brought Xia Junyan to him and introduced him, "This is Xia girl from our village."

Xia Junyan took out the mentality of an interview, and was about to smile and say hello——

The strong man was the first to say, "I don't want to buy maids."

Okay... your sister!
"This girl is here to help with the kitchen." Uncle An explained awkwardly, "Don't look at her as a small person, but she is very diligent and not talkative. She has work in her eyes, but she has nothing to say about her craftsmanship!"

"Oh." The strong man replied, his eyes moved down slightly, and he glanced at Xia Junyan again, "You can stay. One tael of silver, one month."

"Okay!" Xia Junyan responded decisively without any displeasure!
Don't underestimate this tael of silver.

Converting one tael of silver can buy two hundred kilograms of rice. Taking inflation into account, its purchasing power is equivalent to the current 2000 yuan.One and a half hours of part-time work every day, that is, three hours of part-time work, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] noon, with lunch included, two days a month!thousand!Yuan!

Although the price is a bit strange, but Xia Junyan's current net worth is only ten Wen, and half of the thirty Wen she earned from selling mushrooms a few days ago has been used up. If she doesn't earn more money, she will starve to death on the street. .

Undoubtedly, the actions of the strong man brother warmed people's hearts in the timely manner, which made Xia Junyan look at the strong man a few more times.

He looks tall and mighty, but how safe is that!
Don't like talking?It is enough to be generous and forthright!
