Liu Lei was wearing a grey shirt. He was tall and sturdy, and his skin was a little dark. However, his healthy complexion gave off a sense of strength. His facial features were not bad. In modern times, a muscular man like him would probably be infatuated with many girls.
Liu Lei saw Zhao Yun 'er sizing him up, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
"Yun 'er…" Liu Lei called out softly, reminding Zhao Yun' er.
Zhao Yun 'er came back to her senses. Facing Liu Lei's fascinated gaze, she felt a little embarrassed. Thus, she said, "Brother Lei, are you here for something?"
Liu Lei nodded, "Yes, I went into the mountains today. I was lucky and encountered a lot of prey. Yun 'er, I brought this pheasant to you. You stewed some soup for yourself and Doudou to nourish their bodies."
In ancient times, hunters like Liu Lei relied on selling prey to make a living. Their village was called Shui Lan Village, and it was next to a large mountain. Usually, there were many wild beasts on the mountain, and it was very dangerous. Other than people like Liu Lei who hunted for a living, very few people would go up the mountain. Even if they went up the mountain, they would only go around the foot of the mountain to chop some firewood. They wouldn't go into the mountain.
Thus, the prey on the mountain could be sold for a good price.
Looking at the pheasant in Liu Lei's hand, it was probably worth a few dozen copper coins. It wasn't a small amount in the countryside. Thus, Zhao Yun 'er refused, "Brother Lei, you can sell this pheasant to the town later. Doudou and I don't need it."
"Yun 'er, it's okay. A few dozen copper coins won't make a difference. The wound on your forehead hasn't healed yet, so you need to nourish it well. Doudou is still young, and he's still growing. Don't be so polite with me. Since I'm giving it to you, I'm not thinking of taking it back." Liu Lei said very seriously. Zhao Yun 'er also knew that Liu Lei said these words from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Yun 'er thought about it. Liu Lei was right. Needless to say, Doudou's body was still growing, so he needed to replenish his nutrients.
She will keep this pheasant for now. She will remember Liu Lei's kindness. When she makes money in the future, she will repay Liu Lei's kindness.
"Okay, Brother Lei, I'll accept it. Thank you." Zhao Yun 'er smiled at Liu Lei. The shallow dimples at the corner of her mouth were very beautiful.
Liu Lei saw the brilliant smile on Zhao Yun 'er's face, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
Zhao Yun 'er was eighteen years old today. She was considered the most beautiful girl in the entire village. Her facial features were very delicate and pretty. If it wasn't for the fact that he was so skinny that his skin was a little sallow, she would be even more charming. Therefore, she looked very beautiful when she smiled.
Liu Lei felt that his heart was beating faster, and his face was flushed red with embarrassment.
He stuttered a little as he replied, "You're, you're welcome…"
"Brother Lei, are you thirsty? Do you want to come in for a drink?" Zhao Yun 'er invited him in.
"There's no need, Yun 'er. If a man like me enters your house, you'll be gossiped about." Liu Lei hurriedly refused.
In this village, there were many gossipy old women. If people knew that he entered Zhao Yun 'er's house, who knew what kind of things he would be said about him. He didn't care. A man like him was thick-skinned, so it wasn't a big deal to be scolded. However, Zhao Yun 'er was different.
People had been pointing things out for years, further increasing the gossip about Zhao Yun 'er.
