Snowflakes were flying, and Xu Ye finally walked out of the woods with deep and shallow feet. He stood outside the forest and looked around in a daze. He looked at the yellow reeds and grass, the silver sea and snowy sky, and could not see the sea, so he could not tell where he was. ⊙

Fortunately, I saw a place with blue smoke from afar. It should be someone else. Xu Ye sighed, but he couldn't walk in a short while, so he could only try his best to breathe for the last time. So he rolled and crawled in the snow to search for it.

Half an hour later, Xu Ye no longer felt anything. Several old trees in front of him covered several houses, which was an inconspicuous small village. He climbed to the nearest door and knocked on the door randomly.

After knocking for a while, someone came out to open the door. It was a middle-aged woman with a coarse cloth hairpin skirt.

Xu Ye, with purple lips, shivered all over. He didn't bother waiting for the woman to ask, and fell straight in, standing in front of the door, so the woman could not close the door.

The woman was frightened and took a step back and exclaimed, "Who are you? Why did you come to my house? Go out quickly, how could you beg for food like this?"

Xu Ye tried his best to climb forward, and his teeth trembled and said, "Sister-in-law, I am a traveler who fell into the sea to save my life. I don't know where this place is, and I can't find my boat. I can't stand it anymore. I beg my sister-in-law to be good, I'm sorry, give me some hot tea, borrow two clothes, and change the ice coat on my body, so that I can survive. By the way, I have a ring here, please accept it first, wait for my family to find it, and thank you again."

Seeing that it was not a beggar, the woman stared at the golden ring with jealousy. Xu Ye said this very pitiful, so she quickly turned around and shouted to the room, "Sister, come."

A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old walked out of the beat. She had a good temperament and a fresh appearance. Xu Ye reluctantly glanced at her and found that she didn't look like an ordinary country woman. Although she was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, she was cut beautifully and well-washed.

The girl walked to the door, looked down at the strange man under her feet, and asked, "Who is this?"

The woman said the conversation just now, and Xu Ye murmured in anger: "I hope my sister is pitiful, save me!"

The girl couldn't hear clearly. Seeing Xu Ye's embarrassing look, she really looked like someone who fell into the water to ask for help, she squatted down and listened carefully, and said softly: "My family's surname is Meng, and my parents have passed away. There are no brothers and sisters, so she is studying alone in the city. This is my aunt's sister-in-law. My cousin is out, so I invite her to be a companion. In theory, I can't accept a man, because you are a person in trouble and have to force him to save him. But what is your surname? What kind of family is it? I hope you don't lie."

Xu Ye closed his eyes and said, "My surname is Xu, a child of the British Duke Xu family. He accidentally fell into the sea on his way back to Jinling. Somehow he was rescued and carried home, but he was driven out by his wife. I climbed here for a lifetime. The dying person must not deceive him. Every sentence is true."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were immediately surprised and looked at each other. The woman said in surprise and surprise: "So it's a rich young man! I just look like I'm not a child of an ordinary family. Oh, please come inside and take off your clothes. Don't be polite at this threshold, it's important to help you."

Xu Ye said, "Sister-in-law, you won't accept this ring. I feel uneasy."

The girl smiled, praised her cleverness and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the grandfather of the young master, please accept it."

"This, okay." The woman squatted down and took it in her hand, very happy, and quickly supported Xu Ye's arm. Seeing this, the girl had to reach out to help.

"Occured."

Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them entered the house and let him reach a small cottage with a small kang in front of the window.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law helped him lie down, took a charcoal basin, and brought a basin of hot water. The room was warm. Xu Ye took the hot towel and the two women walked out.

Xu Ye had the strength to recover, and took off his whole body clean and washed his face with hot water. Miss Meng found out the clothes, shoes and socks left by her father, and said through the curtain: "The clothes are placed on the stool, please change them."

Xu Ye changed his clothes, and his whole body was extremely itchy at this time. He sat on the kang and gritted his teeth and endured it.

After my sister-in-law came in, she took the initiative to help him comb his hair when she saw this. Miss Meng cooked a bowl of ginger soup and brought it to him, and warmed another cup of hot wine to relieve his cold.

Xu Ye, who had saved his life, was extremely grateful and said excitedly: "My sister-in-law treats me like brothers and sister-in-law. Xu Ye will treat both of them as relatives in the future. If you don't dislike me, please follow me to go to Beijing. Haven't you asked my sister-in-law for her surname?"

After washing up, Xu Ye regained his original appearance, with a face like a jade sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his words and behaviors were all born with a sense of nobility. Ordinary people may be able to pretend to be a rich young man, but they can't pretend to be something inside just by wanting to pretend. Therefore, the two girls who have been observing him all the time said that what he said was true.

Even if Xu Ye is not a rich young man, he is not a villain at a young age. Saving a life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda. And these two women are calm and unwilling to bring a wolf into the house.

The woman opened her mouth and smiled and said, "My family's surname is Liu. My family is in the camellia business and has little capital. The one who is greedy for making more money is here all year round. I always keep with my sister. Don't be gentle and weak. Her father is a famous navy teacher and has made many contributions. It is because the old mother has no one to support her, she does not want to be an official and has no son. She has lost her military status and passed on all her family skills to her daughter. Now, your sister Meng is studying while teaching female students martial arts."

"Oh, I feel respectful and respectful." Xu Ye immediately felt awe-inspiringly, and then said distressedly: "I can't walk without any effort, and it's hard to ask my sister-in-law to go to the harbor to find my boat, so it's not convenient to stay at your house."

"It's okay! The mountain village is not so particular. If you come from afar, you should try your best to entertain yourself." Sister Liu said again: "Don't worry, there are only a few families in our village. The men go to the town early in the morning and go home in the evening. They tell them in the evening that they will know when they go to Haikou early tomorrow morning."

As they talked to each other, since Sister Meng was a female student and a gentleman from the new school, she sat on the side without any hesitation.

Xu Ye suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, what incense is burning in your house? It's light and light."

"My family has never burned incense, maybe it's the fragrance of tea." Sister Liu replied.

Miss Meng said, "I think the tree of the six-caly plum tree in front of the window has been pressed by snow these two days, and the tree is full of energy."

"Let me take a look." Xu Ye pushed open the small window on the kang. Sure enough, a tree of jade plums was half in front of the window and half outside the fence. The cold fragrance was filled with bones and was indescribable.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law saw him staring at Ao Xue Hongmei and sighed: "I didn't expect that I have suffered repeated disasters today and met a good person again. I just responded to two lines of poetry. Without a cold, how can I get the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

"Hehe! He is really a rich child. He just saved his life and is now poetic and picturesque." Sister Liu laughed at it and stood up and said, "You are a funny man, so I'll go and warm up another pot of wine and let you drink and enjoy the plums."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "I have been like this since I was a child, and I am afraid I can't change my habits in my life. My sister-in-law and sister treat me like this. You two are not ordinary people. Anyway, you are free, so it's better to enjoy the snow from three of us siblings. It's more fun than sitting with hang out."

"Okay, as you are, you are not afraid of being irrelevant." Sister Liu seemed to be explaining to herself, "The distinguished guests who can't be invited should be treated with kindness."

In this way, a small table was set up in front of the kang, a pot of wine, four plates of bacon and dried chicken beans, a large bowl of fragrant tofu and egg soup, and a pot of fragrant white rice.

Miss Meng admires Xu Ye's knowledge very much. She asks this and that from time to time. She wants to solve some problems, and the more she talks, the happier she becomes. Xu Ye inherits her father's mantle, and her knowledge is far beyond that of most people in this world. Even if there is no accurate answer, she can give the other party a satisfactory explanation.

Sister Liu said, "Look at your thin body, you are not a playful person after being exposed to the wind, and there is no other clothes at home. As far as I can tell me, put this felt on your body to block the wind, don't be unwilling to do so."

"What's this?" Xu Ye put the worn felt on his body without saying a word, surrounded him on all sides, and smiled: "Su Wu swallowed the felt and gnawed the snow. I was just wearing the felt to appreciate the snow. The bitterness and joy were as different as the world of joy. How dare I not be happy?"

"I am worthy of being a successor, and I am many times better than those wandering young men in the county." Sister Liu smiled.

Miss Meng looked at his child's arrogant look and kept siping and laughing. She liked the free and easy and pampering brother very much.

Xu Ye drank a few glasses of wine, stared at the plum blossoms outside the window, and for a moment he was full of poetry and chanted loudly: "

The hometown is natural, and it is better to wear a felt than home.

I wonder if the moon shines on the snow and plum blossoms tonight?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the courtyard gate, and he looked fierce and knocked on the wooden door and fence wall. Xu Ye was shocked and got up and said, "Can the Japanese pirates come? Sister-in-law and sister run away, I will fight with them."

Unexpectedly, Sister Liu was not afraid at all, and pulled him and said, "Don't be afraid, there are no evil people nearby for many years. One must be a young man who came to rob a bride in the neighboring village. Who told your sister to let go of her words and only marry someone who could beat her."

"Ah?" Xu Ye saw Sister Meng quickly unbuttoning her cotton skirt, showing her tight clothes, raised her hand and picked up the stick of the erection standing on the wall, and walked out slowly.

"It's really a hero among women."

Xu Ye was stunned and turned his head to look outside. The wooden door had been pushed down. Four or five people were snatched in. Each of them held swords and sticks and shouted at Sister Meng who walked out: "Keep your word, if you lose, you have to marry the one who won you."

"Speak less nonsense."

Miss Meng rushed forward without waiting for them to approach and used the stick method he passed down from the monk. The stick in her hand swept across their lower bodies, and instantly knocked down three of them. The other two raised their sticks and waved them. She used the sticks in one frame, and the two sticks were actually knocked to the ground.

Xu Ye was very happy and couldn't help but smile and said, "You dare to show off your ugly skills with such a three-legged cat. My sister is so good at martial arts!"

The five men turned around and ran away. Perhaps Miss Meng was so upset about this, she chased her out with a stick.
