C14 Labyrinth

"Mother can finally be satisfied, right? After all, I've made her precious son look so good. If you keep wearing such ugly clothes, who would be willing to look at you?"

Zhang Xiaohua kept on blabbering on and on. If it was like usual, Wang Ergou would definitely impatiently retort, but today, he felt his heart warm for no reason.

Standing behind her, he watched as Zhang Xiaohua's tiny body moved forward. He suddenly felt that living like this, unlike his previous life on the battlefield, seemed to be pretty good.

This wife of his was very simple, not like those famous beauties. On the surface, it seemed to be a set but was actually a set.

Whether it was fate that the heavens had given him or the good fortune he had cultivated in his previous life, no one could say.

Thinking like that, Wang Ergou caught up to Zhang Xiaohua and joked.

"Why are you saying this about how ugly I am? You just don't like me?"

"How can I not like you, a peasant who is so careful of words? However, if you keep on talking like this, I definitely won't like it.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Ergou began to laugh, as if he had realized something, and the meaning of this sentence was just too obvious.

"Alright, alright. My mother said earlier that none of you men are good people. Since you like to tease so much, why don't you go to the Yinhong Courtyard? Let's not talk about the ladies there, they are all beautiful."

"Forget about it. I have no interest in those women. Whether they're beautiful or not has nothing to do with me."

Ergou said as he pulled Zhang Xiaohua's heavy pockets and started to walk in front of him, if not they would call him a man. Zhang Xiaohua grimaced in pain, as though she was using all her strength to carry away something, and it was as if Wang Ergou was walking on flat land.

It was actually such a huge difference in physical strength?

She sighed and was too lazy to care about it anymore, so she happily followed behind him. Wang Ergou wearing the new clothes was indeed extraordinary, although he was not as handsome as she used to say, but right now, he was still considered to be a man.

Although he was married, he seemed to be a pretty good person.

Of course … He was a cripple.

The two of them had arrived in the woods at dusk, after spending more and more time in the bazaar, which had prevented them from arriving home before dark.

"Mother won't worry about us if we don't go home today, right? Why don't you stay up and walk around?"

As Zhang Xiaohua suggested this, she suddenly saw that Wang Ergou was exhausted, and subconsciously worried.

"Look at my brain, I've even forgotten your legs. Have you run out of stamina while walking? Let's have a good rest here. "

"Alright, alright, who are you looking down on here? But we did say that there was no fire to keep them warm tonight? "It's not a big deal to get lost with this little bit of silver after so much difficulty. It would not be worth it if we were to encounter bandits."

Wang Ergou placed the bag on the ground and took a breath.

"What? Are there still bandits on this mountain?"

Although Zhang Xiaohua was carefree, he was still very afraid of something like this. She subconsciously hugged tightly onto the things she bought, and asked in alarm.

"Of course. Look at this mountain, there's no store in the village. If there really is a group of people, I'm afraid you and I will both get points."

Zhang Xiaohua's expression instantly changed, "It can't be … How about this, let's hide first, just in case there's a chance for someone to escape in the future, then we don't want to die so early. "

Ergou put her terrified look into his eyes and started to laugh subconsciously. This woman was indeed still slapping his face to make a fool of Fatty, how could there be any bandits on this mountain? Everyone would go to rich places to rob some rich people, with just the small amount of money the two of them earned, he was afraid that he would not even be able to fill the gaps in his teeth.

This woman was really something. She would believe anything that others said.

It's easy to fool.

"Alright, alright, I don't feel like messing around with you anymore. Pack up well, go gather some firewood. Let's start a fire and we can find a direction to return home by daybreak."

Zhang Xiaohua did not mind that he was joking, "Alright, I'll go now, don't run around alone."

Wang Ergou rolled his eyes, "I know, you talk too much. As a man, how can I be afraid of losing myself …"

"Of course not. If you disappear, Grandma will definitely be very sad."

After Zhang Xiaohua finished her words, she went to busy herself.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the wood was set ablaze. Finally, a small flame filled the cold forest, and the two of them snuggled together, looking warm and cozy.

It was rare for Zhang Xiaohua to not be as noisy as she was in the past. She could only rely on Wang Ergou in the forest.

He subconsciously wrapped up the clothes on his body tightly, "Ergou, do you think there are any beasts in this forest?

"Is your woman's brain always so terrible? Can't you remember us better? " Wang Ergou speechlessly curled his lips. The woman in front of him right now couldn't spit out anything good, and he was too lazy to waste his time with her.

"Relax, eating wild beasts can only eat smart people, I won't be interested in a pig-headed woman like you."

"Hey!" Do you mean I don't want to hear it? What do you mean a woman like me? What's wrong with a woman like me? I'm telling you, my intellect is peerless. If you see my bright spots one day, I'm afraid you won't even make it in time to hug your thighs. "

As expected, every time she slandered Zhang Xiaohua, it was as if she was injected with chicken blood and anxiously tried to defend herself. Wang Ergou saw that she was finally no longer afraid.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the forest. Zhang Xiaohua, who was originally full of confidence, was beaten to her original state, then shivered from the cold and subconsciously hugged her arms.

In the next moment, a piece of clothing landed on her body. It felt warm for a moment, but when she raised his head, he saw that Wang Ergou was doing fine and did not seem to care about her, but his hands were clearly showing concern for his.

"I say, Ergou, do you not dare to go and take care of me?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed complacently, and continued to make fun of her.

Seeing her fearless look, Wang Ergou suddenly felt a little helpless, "Are you cold? Do you want to add another set of clothes?"

"No need, my body is amazing. Wear these clothes like this, you better not catch a cold!" Otherwise it's my job again. "

"You … "You're really not afraid?"

he asked suddenly.

"What?" She didn't understand.
