    001 Orion in the Mountains

    In front of us are several low thatched houses, which have turned light gray in color due to the wind and sun.In the middle is an old earth-tile house with a thick straw mat covering the roof.The house is only surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. What is even more unique is that on the clothesline where clothes should be hung, there is a row of soaked bacon hanging. When the wind blows… the smell is awesome.

    Ning Wan lamented in her heart. She had thought that Huo Yunshan’s residence was very dilapidated, but she never expected that it would be so dilapidated.At this moment, she just wanted to chant Du Fu’s “Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind”.

    The rugged man wearing only a coarse cloth jacket next to her saw the obvious look of disgust on her face. He felt angry and said in a rough voice: “Huh, don’t look at it. You can live there.”

    “Oh, if you didn’t tell me, I would have thought this was the blind bear’s den.” Ning Wan’s eyes swirled around the tall and thick man.

    “You!”

    Huo Yunshan has a stupid mouth, and even though he heard her calling him a blind bear, he didn’t know how to reply. He usually went to the mountains to hunt, and sometimes slept in the mountains for several days. In addition, because of his strong body, he didn’t care about the sky or the ground, so he didn’t tidy up his residence.He would not say these words to this woman.

    I went to push the courtyard door nailed with a few wooden strips. It made a “creak” sound and was on the verge of falling. I quickly reached out to hold it up.Huo Yunshan couldn’t help but feel hot on his face. He glanced at the woman secretly. He didn’t seem to pay attention to the sound and walked towards this side with his head lowered.She was wearing floral clothes, and when she wasn’t talking, she looked dewy. The exposed wrist bones were slender and fair, and she really didn’t look as strong and capable as other women in the village.

    Is this the widow who Aunt Wang and the others say is lazy, hard-working, snarky, and loves to seduce men?

    It’s okay to eat well and be lazy to cook. It’s no problem to raise a delicate little girl from the prey you hunt.He is not afraid of having a hard-fought husband. His first daughter-in-law died of illness, and he was also a hard-luck man. A widower and a widow are a good match.It is a common problem for women in the village to be rude and suspicious of others. If they like to seduce men, seeing is believing.

    Unknowingly, he had already excused all Ning Wan’s shortcomings in his mind.She also thought that when the matchmaker she hired came to propose marriage, she was originally unwilling to do so. She disliked the fact that her family was poor, had no land, and was an outsider with no foundation, and no one would take care of her if anything happened.Why did you suddenly change your mind and agree to this marriage?

    “Because my mother ate the betrothal gift you sent.”

    “Ah?” Huo Yunshan stopped and looked at the woman who raised her head in confusion, with almond-shaped eyes and pink cheeks under her curved eyebrows.

    Ning Wan chuckled lightly, changed the side of the cloth bag held on her elbow, and walked towards the shabby wooden door: “Aren’t you asking me why I changed my mind again? It’s because my mother ate the betrothal gift you sent.”

    Huo Yunshan was so embarrassed that he actually said what he was thinking.But… I only agreed to such a marriage because I ate the bride price. What kind of reason is this!Could it be that as a man, he was not worth the few wild ducks and pheasants he sent?

    Sure enough, it’s disgusting!

    Ning Wan here had to face reality after looking at the simple environment.I walked more than ten miles on the mountain road today, and my feet are probably swollen… Ouch, luckily the man didn’t ask her, the new wife, to cook. He took out the simmered meal directly from the pot and placed it on the only table in the house.

    Because she was hungry and tired, she just thought that the white rice and bacon strips were so delicious.
