A touch of happiness

Chapter 10

Pour all the money on the bed boldly.Carefully sort and count.

"Barely any work in the summer, alas." Only 34 silver coins, 6 silver dimes, 8 copper coins and 2 copper dimes.Xiu couldn't help worrying.

It takes three silver horns to burn charcoal once, and it needs to be burned at least five times, that is, one silver coin and five silver horns.Then spices and seasonings are about 1 silver coins.

By the way, I don't know if you can buy a carpet.In this way, you can sit on the carpet and face the fireplace, which is definitely more comfortable than the bedroom.

Then I tidied up the things I wanted to buy, filled the basket with water, and went out.The commercial street is very lively today, and there are twice as many mobile stalls as usual.As usual, Xiu Xian went to Grandpa Kant to buy salt and various spices.Grandpa Kant's booth was much more lively than usual, probably because everyone is about to start preparing for the winter.

"Xiu boy, here, take it, last time you asked for what I was looking for." When Xiu smiled and waved at him to leave, Kant threw a jar over.

"This is?" Xiu opened the sealed jar.A sweet smell.Ah, it's honey. "Thank you, Kant."

"No problem. But, thank you for the tea." That's right, last time I specially made a pot of bitter tea for Kant to ask him to find honey.

Xiu put the honey away and continued shopping.He found some good stuff.For example, the carpet that costs 5 silver coins, the military coat that is second-hand but still in good condition, and a large bundle of wear-resistant ropes...

"Uh." Xiu stared at the winter goods piled up in front of him and worried, it was over, and shopping was fun for a while.What should I do?The money is gone, and there is no way to hire someone.Xiu cut a piece of rope to tie things up and dragged them back slowly.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the rope broke, and it broke halfway.Wanting to cry without tears, Xiu squatted on the ground, looking at the things that were scattered just now, and now they are neatly arranged on the ground.

Today is rather unlucky.Xiu sighed again.

"Xiu?" Xiu couldn't help turning his head when he heard a familiar voice.

"It's Henry!" The elf who was driving the car frowned at him.

"Henry, can you help me take my things back." Xiu was a little shy, and couldn't even lift his head.

Henry laughed weirdly. "Of course you can."

The author has something to say: bad

hidden mask

The author has something to say: If you can still make a wish in the year of the horse, I hope "There will be a comment right away!!!" Rolling around and being cute...

Fortunately someone could help, Xiu heaved a sigh of relief.Otherwise there are so many things. "Thank you, Henry."

"It's okay, I'm just passing by." Henry's voice seemed to be stuck.

"Are you uncomfortable, Henry." Xiu asked with some concern.

Henry’s expression was not very natural. "Well, Xiu, can you do me a favor?"

Xiu put the last thing away and said with a smile. "certainly."

Henry stammered. "You drive. We'll talk about the rest."

After repairing the license, he drove the car back to his home first, threw all the things into the house, then went down, and continued to drive the car back to Henry's shop.

"Help me move things up." Xiu was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, and did as he did.

"I've finished moving. Do you have anything else to do?" Xiu glanced at the sun on the top of the tree and calculated the time.

"Well, let's go." During this time, Henry never came out and stayed in the carriage.

"Okay, are you okay, do you want me to help you go up." Xiu was a little worried.

"Go, go, I'm fine." Henry's tone was very anxious and sharp.

Xiu had no choice but to pat the back of his head, said goodbye and left.

As soon as Xiu saw his talisman tree, he remembered that he had put the key on the driver's seat, so he ran back to Henry in frustration.

"what!"

When Xiu was approaching the car, a little girl who was obviously not Henry jumped back into the car in shock when she saw him.

Xiu lowered his head in embarrassment and said respectfully. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm really, really sorry."

On the mainland, the status of women is much higher than that of men, not only because they are rare in number, but also only women can fish out the fruit that is pregnant with children from the fountain of life.In other words, if you want to get children who will continue your life, you must never offend them.

Xiu also only saw old women, such as Aunt Dora who raised him, and Granny Locke who lived nearby.

It was the first time for someone as young as this girl.Xiu stood there at a loss, not even daring to raise his head, for fear of offending this person.

"Are you okay?" She hid in the car, and there was no more movement.Xiu approached the car worriedly.

But there was no more sound.

Xiu leaned against the crack of the carriage, looked inside, and saw Henry lying on the floor of the carriage like a thin sheet of paper.

His blood surged, an inexplicable sadness caused his behavior to be swayed by mad anger, and he violently pried open the door of the car. "What did you do to him!"

Because of their noble status, many women are spoiled. They are self-righteous and don't put other people's lives in their eyes.Rumors of women's brutality and wounding are already prevalent in the mainland, even in Ge Lulin, there are many such news.And in the end they are almost never punished very harshly because of their importance and rarity.

If this girl really killed Henry, humans would only shield her, and because of her gender, she would be blessed with unimaginable privileges.

Xiu's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he carefully hugged Henry, only to find that there was only a piece of skin left in him, and all the bulging flesh and blood had disappeared.His eyes were red with anger, as if smeared with blood, and the frightened girl shrank into a corner.

"You!" The voice pierced the eardrums, as sharp as glass shattered.

"He, he is like this." The girl's small voice sounded like a whisper.

Xiu put Henry down carefully, and grabbed the girl's hand fiercely.It is such a soft hand, seemingly weak but doing such a cruel thing.Her hands were immediately bruised from the powerful force.

The girl struggled to raise her head, her long hair blurred her eyes, but she could clearly see the light reflected by the crystal teardrops. "No..." Her voice was so sweet, like the summer wind blowing across the earth.

"Why do you always do this, relying on yourself...why!" The angry Xiu had lost his mind, his distorted eyes seemed to penetrate the girl in front of him, and saw the woman standing in front of him with a wild and strong smile. .

The dim black and the red of blood intertwined and entangled to form the picture in front of you, which makes you want to go crazy. In your ears, you can hear the screams and noises of familiar people, things are constantly being broken, and the flame tongue of the fire is licking the sound of wooden furniture. ...

"No, it's not what you think." The girl looked anxiously and aggrieved at the crazy boy in front of her. "build!"

The darkness, bloodshed, screams, and death receded instantly like a tide.

build.

Xiu's eyes slowly recovered, and he let go of the girl's hand.

"Xiu, I am Henry." The girl nervously grabbed his trembling shoulder.

"Henry." Xiu's mind suddenly cleared up. "you……"

Xiu suddenly realized that he might have wrongly blamed the other party. "So……"

The girl, that is Henry.In fact, the one Shuu usually sees is just a stuffed doll.Because Henry is very shy, he can hardly have a good conversation with others, even if he looks at each other, he can't help being afraid.I had to use magic to appear in the store and go out as usual in the image of a cloth doll.Because Henry's spar was used up, and the replacement spar hadn't arrived, that stuffed doll was deflated like that.

"That's why you asked me to drive the car back." Repair cleared his mind.There was a strange shadow in the cave, Henry's expression was also very dull, and his voice was always sharp... All because the Henry he saw was actually just a doll.

"Well, there is still a little energy at that time, but I'm afraid it's not enough. That's why..." The girl lowered her head and pointed at her fingers.

There were large bruises on the white arms, which were very unsightly. "I'm sorry. I was too reckless." Xiu apologized.

"It's okay, it's all my fault, I should be more courageous." Girl, Henry is also very distressed.

"En." Xiu said with a smile. "It should be bigger. Hello, Henry, I'm Xiu."

"You, hello, Xiu, I, I'm Henry." Henry shyly almost bit his own tongue.

Henry's parents didn't expect that she was a girl with such a name.Henry was a wonderful girl, though, not at all proud, just a little shy.Well, more than a little bit.

The best part is that Henry has a huge pile of books, a whole room full of books.Xiu Xiu's eyes almost popped out.

After that day, the two of them interacted frequently.

Although I said so, there are too many preparations for the winter, and there are not many good meetings.

Two months later, when Xiu was preparing to burn charcoal for the last time.He got a message.

Abu Nahib of the plain declared war on Jiadaishan, that is, the war between the plain and the forest of the earth began.

Dawn

War means strife, bloodshed, death, and almost all the unbearable depictions of sorrow in this world are given to war.

Xiu only experienced a war, that war took away all his relatives, the fire burned everything he had, and all the familiar things disappeared in the flames.Strict but doting fathers, the warm little house called home filled with the aroma of tea, the tree he often climbs, the wall with traces of his growth, he planted
