Liu Xin and Sun Carpenter went to Qilin Mountain, which is 12 miles away from Zhuoxian County. They took more than ten craftsmen with them. When they reached the slope of Qilin Mountain, Liu Xin saw that Sun Carpenter's apprentice had brought more than 20 refugees.

Build thatched huts there.

These refugees were all recruited in the south of Zhuoxian County today. They don't need to spend money or go through any formalities with the government. They only need to be provided with two meals a day and have a thatched hut to live in.

Liu Xin and Carpenter Sun carefully measured the land on the lower and uphill slopes. He and Carpenter Sun discussed how to make the manor house more level, how to dig the cave dwelling, and which direction the main house should face. These are the most important aspects of building the manor house.

After being busy for more than an hour, Liu Xin saw that Carpenter Sun's apprentice had already led the workers to level the land and excavate the soil on the high slope to prepare adobe bricks. At the same time, they also had to build the wall of the farmyard together.

Liu Xin came to the top of Qilin Mountain. This mountain is just a small hill. It is surrounded by green rivers in the southwest, a forest to the north, and a rocky land to the east. It is difficult to disturb the construction of the village here.

At noon, Liu Xin saw that the craftsmen had begun to prepare for dinner. They had built nearly ten thatched houses. He was no longer needed here. Liu Xin said goodbye to Carpenter Sun and prepared to return to the city.

After descending from Qilin Mountain, Liu Xin accidentally saw a familiar figure in the south of the Green Yin River. The person was holding a child and looking for something in the river.

It was the woman who gave her cakes and clothes last time. She didn't see Liu Xin, and Liu Xin didn't intend to have much to do with her. Although she brought him two [Loyalty Points], he had no intention of taking her in.

other side.

Just when Liu Xin was about to turn around and leave, he saw the woman suddenly fell into the river. She was holding the child and struggling continuously. Seeing this, Liu Xin could only stop and went to the river to wait for the woman to hold the child and be washed away by the river.

In front of him, he grabbed the woman.

Liu Xin lifted her into the cold river, feeling that she was not much heavier than Liu Wanliu.

The woman was rescued and vomited several mouthfuls of river water. Then she got up and hurriedly went to see her child. The child was put on the woman's lap and patted for a while before she cried.

"System prompt: The host rescued the woman who fell into the water. The host's benevolence and righteousness were appreciated by the other party, and she was rewarded with a [Benevolence Point] point."

"Well... benefactor, you saved me again!" The woman lowered her head and said when she saw the person who saved her.

Liu Xin saw that she had been submerged in the water for a while, and the dirt on her face had been washed away, revealing her fairly regular facial features. Liu Xin found that this woman was actually not very old, maybe even younger than herself. In this era

Everyone gets married early, so no wonder she would rather wait to die alone than go to a crowded place. A single young woman like her might not survive a day among the victims.

"The water there is so fast, what are you doing in the river on such a cold day?" Liu Xin looked at the other person and asked.

"I...have nothing to eat, so I can only look for some small fish and loaches in the river. I caught a loach yesterday, but I haven't found it today." The woman whispered as if she had done something wrong.

"Your husband hasn't come to see you yet?" Liu Xin saw the woman's wet clothes. If she continued like this, she would definitely get sick. This kind of refugee illness is not far away from death, as well as the child in her arms.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. This woman let herself get a little more [Benevolence Value] today. Liu Xin couldn't watch her die like this, so he went to the nearby woods to find some dry firewood and took out a fire

He lit the zhezi for her, then took out a white cake and handed it to her.

The woman took the white cake and ate it slowly. She sat by the fire and lowered her head to comfort the child in her arms. She chewed the white cake and fed it little by little into the child's mouth. Soon the child stopped crying.

"Are you still planning to wait here for your husband?" After Liu Xin asked, she knew that her question was meaningless. This woman could have some idea, why would she be here? If she didn't have a child in her arms, even if she knew it would kill her

Everyone must follow the refugees to pursue the last hope of survival.

The woman didn't speak or cry. It seemed that her heart had died and she no longer had any nostalgia for the world. She just turned her head to look at the child who was already asleep in her arms, and her tears couldn't help but fall again.

Liu Xin was making a difficult decision in his heart. If he didn't care about this woman, it should be said to be a girl. He got two points of [Loyalty Value] and one point of [Benevolence Value], and felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart. As a descendant, he

If these two women are left alone, they may not have peace of mind in this life.

But if you take her back, she is a widow and she is not married yet. This will have a very bad impact on you. Your mother will definitely object and no one will support you in doing so.

"If you are willing to follow me into the city, you can continue to wait for your husband in the city. I am doing a small business in the city, and I have my mother and two sisters at home.

We don't have room for you at home, so you can live in the woodshed first." Liu Xin was finally affected by the kindness in his heart and said to the woman.

The woman finished eating a white flour cake, looked up at Liu Xin, knelt in front of him and cried for a while. She kept praying to heaven, and kept saying that Liu Xin was a good person.

Liu Xin saw that the woman's clothes were almost baked, so he got up and walked towards Zhuoxian City. On the way, many people from Zhangjiazhuang greeted Liu Xin when they saw him. They looked at the woman holding the child behind him with a playful smile on their face.

Back in Zhuoxian City, the woman left a mark on a tree or a big rock by the roadside every few steps. She must have been thinking about her husband being alive and hoping that he could find her.

Liu Xin brought the woman to the market. Liu Xin's mother looked at him coming back with the woman and turned her head and refused to look at him. His two sisters also looked at the woman with disgust on their faces.

The woman followed Liu Xin and did not dare to look at anyone. It seemed that Liu Xin was her only support.

"This is my mother, this is my eldest sister, my little sister!" Liu Xin pointed to his family and said to the woman following him. Only when he got here did he realize that he didn't even know this woman's name.

"My little daughter Zhou Cui, I have met my wife and two young ladies!" The woman saluted Liu Xin's mother. Although Liu Xin's mother was unwilling, she knew that this family belonged to Liu Xin, and she could only choose to support him if he wanted to do this.

"Get up! My son is taken in by you, you have to pay attention to your identity..."

"My little girl knows that when my husband comes, my little girl will leave with him." Ms. Cui said hurriedly.

Liu Xin's mother shook her head helplessly when she heard this. In such troubled times, there is basically no hope for her husband to find her. This silly woman thought that her husband would come to her again, but even if her husband is alive, it will be difficult.
