After putting the food back in the kitchen and blowing out the oil lamp, he laid down next to Su Qingyue. He took off his clothes, pulled the quilt covering her, and tucked the quilt corners for her before lying down and falling asleep together.

Although he had only eaten about 70% full that night, there wasn’t much food left at home, and the hunting results were uncertain. Fourth Brother had a leg condition, and her medical expenses were still owed to Doctor Sun.

As long as she wasn’t hungry, it was okay if he ate a little less.

She indeed had an unpleasant smell on her body. He should have stayed far away from her. But when he thought of her indifferent gaze at his scar-covered left face while eating, he didn’t care about the smell.

Anyway, he was a big man who wasn’t too particular about such things.

However, he felt that she seemed to have changed. In the past, she wouldn’t even dare to get close to him, she would tremble when she saw him, but now, she seemed like a completely different person.

He couldn’t understand it.

After she ran away the day before yesterday, Xiao Yishan had been looking for her and was indeed tired. After carrying her back from the town for two hours that afternoon, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the pitch-dark night, Xiao Yuchuan stared at Su Qingyue with his bright eyes from the other end of the bed, feeling that she was bizarre.

In the past, even when his second brother was near her, she would keep screaming in fear, as if his second brother was a cat to her mouse.

How could she eat and sleep so calmly just now?

Was it because she was caught and afraid of being beaten, so she pretended to be obedient? He wouldn’t let her have her way!

In the past three days, Yuchuan had also been searching for her everywhere and was tired enough to sleep soundly.

The next day, as soon as daybreak came, Xiao Yishan woke up. He carefully dressed himself, trying not to wake his sleeping wife.

Seeing that his third brother was also awake, he lowered his voice and said, “Don’t make any noises and wake up my wife.” He had no idea that his so-called wife couldn’t hear him and wasn’t the same person as before.

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t agree, “Second Brother, why do you spoil her so much? She’s not that delicate.”

“You brat, you’re getting bolder, not even listening to your second brother’s words?” Xiao Yishan raised his fist, wanting to teach his third brother a lesson.

Xiao Yuchuan hurriedly stepped outside, carelessly saying, “Second Brother, if you really beat me, you’ll wake her up.”

Xiao Yishan left the room with a stern face.

As he reached the doorway, he looked back at his wife’s small sleeping face, which was so dark that it wasn’t pretty, but he still found it pleasing. He went to the kitchen, had breakfast, and prepared her morning medicine. As she was still asleep, he asked his third brother to heat up the breakfast and remind her to take her medicine when she woke up. Then, he grabbed his bow and arrow and spear and went hunting in the mountains.

Xiao Yuchuan snorted, “Humph! I’ll even heat her breakfast, and then I’ll find a human trader to get an estimate and sell her.” When the second brother came back, the person would have been sold, and there would be no use getting angry.

When Su Qingyue woke up, she saw a man standing at the doorway, staring at her with a gloomy face.

He had thick, dark eyebrows, a prominent nose, and a pair of deep black eyes with a hint of sharpness. His skin was very fair, and his thin lips were tightly pressed. His gaze was unfriendly.

He wore a coarse cloth gown of poor quality. The clothes had obviously been worn and washed many times, fading their original color. But it didn’t affect his handsome appearance, and he was a standard handsome man from ancient times.

Su Qingyue looked around the environment. She was in an adobe house, sleeping on a large bed about two meters wide and five meters long.
