The girl's surname is Chu. She doesn't have a formal name. People in the countryside don't pay much attention to this.

When her parents were still alive, they called her Nell.

Later, when her parents were gone, no one called her Nell again. When people in the village saw her, they called Xiao Chu.

The reason why she picked up the empty Zen was for a moment of kindness.

She originally planned to let him leave when Kong Zen was well hurt. After all, men and women are different. Living together is easy to cause others' discussion.

But after getting along for some time, Xiao Chu was a little reluctant to let Kong Zen leave.

Since her parents died, Xiao Chu has always lived alone. She is always the only one, whether eating out or celebrating New Year's festivals. She has been used to it.

But after picking up the empty Zen, her life changed.

Every time she came home, she opened the door and saw Kong Zen waiting for her.

When having dinner, she would talk to Kong Chan about the interesting things that happened in the village while eating. She often laughed as she talked.

Seeing that she had a hard time carrying water and chopping firewood, Kong Chan would stretch out his hand to help. He had great strength. What was difficult for Xiao Chu to do was easy for him.

Once she went up the mountain to collect herbs. It suddenly rained heavily on the way. She had to go home in advance. She was worried at that time, because before going out this morning, she looked at the sunshine and moved all her bedding to the yard to dry.

Now it's raining so hard that those bedding must be wet.

There are only two quilts at home. If they are wet, they will have no quilts to cover tonight.

When Xiao Chu hurried back with a bamboo basket on his back, he met an empty Zen with an oil paper umbrella at the entrance of the village.

She couldn't help being stunned.

The tall and straight man stood quietly in the rain and fog, holding an old oil paper umbrella. The rain hit the umbrella surface and made a snap sound.

Everything around has been emptied by rain and fog and become dreamy.

The figure of the man became more and more clear and deeply branded into the bottom of Xiao Chu's heart.

Kong Zen used an oil paper umbrella to help her cover the rain.

Little Chu looked at him in a daze: "did you come to pick me up on purpose?"

Empty Zen didn't answer, frowned slightly, and his tone was a little impatient.

"Go back."

When the two returned home, Xiao Chu found that the bedding that had been dried in the yard had already been taken into the house, because it was collected in time and the bedding was not wet.

Xiao Chu breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, she was secretly happy again.

Luckily there was someone at home, otherwise she would have to sleep in a wet quilt tonight.

Later, a drunken rascal came to smash the door and shouted some dirty words.

Xiao Chu was so frightened that he held the sickle for cutting grass tightly in his hands and hid in the house, afraid to go out.

Because she lives alone, plus she is young and beautiful, there are often some dishonest men to harass her. Tonight is not the first and will not be the last time.

The gate of the yard was pounded.

Xiao Chu's face turned pale with fear. She prayed silently in her heart and prayed that the man outside would leave quickly.

The gate was pulled open from the inside.

The drunkard outside the door didn't expect that the door suddenly opened. He was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. Before he could see who the person in front of him was, he stretched out his salty pig's hand and rushed at each other, and said some nasty words in his mouth.

As a result, before anyone touched him, he was kicked upside down and fell to the ground, screaming with pain.

The drunkard struggled to get up.

He looked up with resentment, but he just looked at a pair of cold and cloudy eyes.

Kong Chan looked at him coldly, his eyes full of killing intention.

The drunkard was awakened by fear.

Knowing that the man in front of him was not easy to provoke, he didn't dare to fart, and immediately ran away in frustration.

When Xiao Chu carefully poked his head out of the house with a sickle in his arms, he saw that the gate of the courtyard had been closed again.

Her eyes were just opposite the empty Zen who had just turned around.

Xiao Chu hurriedly asked, "has the man gone?"

Empty Zen slightly impatiently replied, "HMM."

Xiao Chu was overjoyed immediately.

She put down her sickle and smiled at Kong Zen.

"Thank you!"

Once again, she was sincerely glad.

Luckily he was there, or she wouldn't know how to get through tonight.

When Kong Zen said this, his voice became soft unconsciously.

"Although she didn't say it, I can feel that she needs me very much."

Xiao Xixi observed the change of his look and asked tentatively.

"Does she like you?"

Empty Zen: "HMM."

Xiao Xixi: "then you like her too?"

Empty Zen disdained: "how can I like her? I just saw her poor and helped her."

Xiao Xixi: "then why do you always smile when you mention her."

Empty Zen was stunned.

He wanted to refute, but he raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, but found that the corner of his mouth was indeed raised upward.

The discovery surprised him.

For a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.

Finally, he could only explain stubbornly: "I do have some good feelings for her, but it is far from like. I just think she is somewhat similar to me. We are all poor people who are not wanted and managed by anyone."

Xiao Cuixi: "so you didn't kill her, but you stayed to live with her?"

Empty Zen really lived with Xiao Chu for some time.

In fact, he wanted to leave several times, but every time he wanted to leave, he would think of Xiao Chu's poor appearance of being soaked in the rain.

If he left and it rained again, no one would give her an umbrella, and no one would stand up when she was in danger.

She is a weak woman. How can she survive in this dangerous world?

She can only rely on him.

So empty Zen gave up the idea of leaving again and again.

Since he was a child, he was not valued by his master, and his senior brother was only polite to him,

No one ever cared about his feelings, and no one needed him as urgently as Xiao Chu, and even regarded him as the only dependence.

This strong sense of being needed makes Kong Zen feel strange and a little faint expectation.

He didn't know what he was expecting?

Anyway, he just couldn't bear to leave.

It's like a wandering ship that finally finds the harbor it wants to dock.

Kong Zen gradually got used to the atmosphere of living with Xiao Chu.

If the weather is fine, he will accompany Xiao Chu into the mountain to collect herbs, and will accompany her to sell herbs in the town.

In case of rain and snow, they will stay indoors together.

Xiao Chu sat by the window doing needlework, while Kong Chan moved out the old furniture to repair. He was not very familiar with carpentry. At first, he didn't know where to start. Later, he gradually explored the doorway, and the work became more and more agile.
