Chapter 10, The Promise of the Weak Child

Sun Le couldn't help it any longer and let out a chuckle. As soon as she laughed, Ruo Er's face turned sour. Sun Le quickly turned her head to stare at the clay pot, exclaiming: "Oh, it's finally about to be done, it smells so good"

The woman named Xi tugged several times with force, yet could not move Sun Le, and could not help but turn her head in anger and say, "What, do you dare not to go?" As soon as her words fell, she saw tears welling up in Sun Le's eyes

Sun Le slowly turned his head and met the delicate face of Xi Nv.

The fragrant aroma of loach and yam wafts from the clay pot, and the water in the bowl is bubbling, indicating that it is truly cooked.

The weak child let out a soft grunt of dissatisfaction, then turned serious and nodded, "I will keep an eye on you, and you won't need to notify me when the time comes"

The sparks burned brightly as Sun Le quietly gazed at the flames in a daze

When the weak child made a face at her, her small face turned bright red, and his eyes blazed with anger, clearly annoyed by her lack of seriousness. However, before he could express his anger, he heard Sun Le's question.

The weak child raised his head and said loudly: "Of course, I will take you as my legitimate wife; as for being a concubine, even if you remain this ugly, I would still be able to accept you."

"Of course I will come," Sun Le's laughter echoed from afar, "I have no food to eat there."

Sun Le turned her head, facing away from the weak child, and stuck out her tongue, laughing a few times with a wide grin. The expression on this little fellow's face was so solemn that she didn't dare to laugh in front of him.

Sun Le was eating heartily, and she also took half of the yam and loach from the soup. Amidst the wafts of fragrant aroma, the weak child turned around, facing away from Sun Le. Sun Le glanced over and saw, ha, this little fellow was there, continuously swallowing saliva.

The weak child sat beside her, quietly observing her. After watching for a while, he suddenly said: "Ugly monster, if all the pits and hollows on your face were gone, I would marry you!"

There is only one clay pot, and it is quite difficult for two people to share. Sun Le climbed to a grove two hundred meters away and picked two leaves from there. She did not recognize this type of leaf; it resembled a lotus flower. Although the leaves were only one-fifth the size of a lotus leaf, like the lotus leaf, water droplets would roll around on its surface.

Sun Le was lost in thought when she heard Ruor's words, which made her feel a pang of surprise. She turned her head to meet Ruor's bright, sparkling eyes; his expression was so earnest, as if the words he had just spoken were the result of a long and careful consideration, as if once he had made up his mind, he would never waver again

Sun Le looked at her hand tightly gripping her sleeve, wanting very much to shake it off. However, she could not do that, as Xi clearly harbored hostility towards her, and she could not afford to make it so that she would never have a peaceful day again.

At this point, he saw Sun Le's amused expression and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He looked at her seriously and said, "Actually, it's not that I find you ugly, but if you were to become my legitimate wife, many people would pay attention to your appearance and would chatter in my ear all day long. Therefore, you must become more attractive if I am to marry you as my legitimate wife"

She had just taken two steps when a woman's voice came from the left, "Oh, look at that, it's not even been a day since you arrived, and you've already learned to climb walls. I must say, you bold little girl, you have quite the audacity!"

After picking some leaves from the tree, she casually gathered a few stalks of grass. These grass stalks resembled bamboo, about the size of small chopsticks, and were solid inside. At the same time, she also found half a piece of bamboo. All of these items were easy to clean and could be used right after passing through the stream.

She took a few deep breaths, suppressing all traces of her smile before turning to face the weak child. Meeting the bright, sparkling eyes of the child, Sun Le couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile again

She took a deep breath, her face beaming with joy. She had never known before that soup could be so delicious. Alas, she had only been here for two days, yet it felt as if she had not tasted such soup in centuries.

With a thud, Sun Le finally landed steadily in the courtyard

As she waved her hand, she walked back along the same path. The weak child looked at her gradually receding figure and suddenly called out in a high voice: "Will you come again tomorrow"

Sun Le was indeed gluttonous, quickly finishing half of the soup. Standing up, she patted her round little belly and said to the weak boy, who had his back turned to her: "Weak boy, the remaining soup is all yours, you take care of it www.hetushucomcom, I am going back. I'm leaving now"

Perhaps having had enough to eat and drink, Sun Le felt more energetic today, only resting once on her way to the wall. She arrived at the spot where she had placed the stones yesterday, reached out to climb, and carefully stepped into the gap to mount the wall

When the weak child became serious, he indeed exuded a bit of authority. Sun Le secretly smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Well then, the weak child must remember what you said, okay? Sister will work hard to become a little more beautiful, and when my face is clean, I will notify you to come and Marry me."

The woman's voice was very clear and also quite loud, carrying far away.

Sun Le could no longer wait; she used a half piece of bamboo to hold a little broth placed on a leaf and gently sipped it

Listening to these words, it seems as if he is an extraordinary figure

Approaching the campfire, Sun Le handed a leaf to Ruo Er and distributed two stalks of grass to each person. Looking at Ruo Er, who was staring at him, Sun Le said with a smile, "Just eat like I do." After a pause, she added, "If you can wait, then wait until I finish eating before you use the earthen pot to eat."

The weak child discarded the leaves and grass stems, saying: "I will use a clay pot"

Ha!

The woman strode up to her, circled around her, and exclaimed: "Oh, oh, what have you done to your nice new clothes? Your shoes are also torn? You ugly girl, it’s hard to believe that you look so ugly, yet you have such a big audacity"

Sun Le's voice is imbued with laughter, and her eyes have narrowed into a line.

With the clay pot and salt, everything became simple. Sun Leru, just like yesterday, propped two stones on either side, placed the clay pot in the middle, and then used the flint left by Fu Lao to start the fire, adding firewood while waiting to drink the soup

Sun Le laughed out loud at his resolute expression, wrinkled her nose at the weak boy, and made a face, "So, will you take me as your legitimate wife or as a concubine?"

It is indeed fragrant

She reached out her hand to pat the top of the weak child's head. Just as her hand was halfway there, a hint of anger appeared in the child's big eyes. He glared at her hand with fury, as if to say: If you have the ability, go ahead and try patting my head

As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at Sun Le's sleeve, leading him into the courtyard, "Come, let us go find the sisters to settle this matter!"
