Cannon Fodder Strategy

Zhang Hongyi muttered something dissatisfied in the kitchen. Finally, Lily heard him picking up a bowl to drink porridge. Not long after, he fetched water, rinsed the pot and washed the dishes. Half a quarter of an hour later, he cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the house. Lily Lying on the bed, he rummaged through the clothes from the cabinet with a sullen face. When Lily turned to look at him, he glared and shouted, "What are you looking at?"

He shouted ferociously, but she had contradicted him several times before, and the most he could do was thunder and rain. Although he looked ferocious and terrifying, he didn't seem to have done anything extreme. Lily became more courageous: "Are you going out?"

As soon as he said these words, Zhang Hongyi immediately closed the box he had just opened:

"I'm not allowed to do courtships, and I'm not allowed to get married. You're not my wife. Where am I going? What does it have to do with you? She's in charge of things, but she has no connections. She's just like that housekeeper!" He seemed to be still angry, but he was finally willing to speak. After a while, he seemed to feel that the tone of his words was too strong, and he explained reluctantly:

"Come on, sleep with you! I'm going to go have a drink with my brother. I'll lock the door later. I'm sure no one can come in. Don't worry." When he said this, Lily's heart started to move. This Zhang Hongyi looks fierce, but he doesn't seem to have a complicated mind. The reason why he locked the door is not as he thought before. He is deeply afraid that his bought wife will run away, but it seems that he is worried about whether he will Will be afraid, but this person is not very good at talking, and his appearance is too fierce. As soon as people hear him open his mouth, they will be trembling with fear. In the plot, the original owner is afraid of him to death. The original owner was fourteen years ago. I have never met such a man in my life. She was of a good background, and there was very little interaction between the female family members and the men in the Marquis. Even if she occasionally went out with her mother to meet a few stewards, those people were all polite and decent-looking. How had she ever seen Zhang Hongyi like this? Dark, strong, and scary-looking?

Therefore, although I have lived with him for several years, I don't know Zhang Hongyi very well, and I haven't said a few words to him at all. He occasionally opens his mouth. She was already trembling all over. After Lily received the memory of the plot, she had to explore Zhang Hongyi's character by herself. In order to stay in the Zhang family for a while, Lily hesitated and still tried: "Lock me in the house. .What’s the difference between me and being in jail?”

Hearing this, Zhang Hongyi cursed twice: "I don't want this, and I don't want that either. I want to ask you, what on earth are you going to do?" He looked so fierce. His fists were clenched when he spoke, and Lily saw him like this. Subconsciously shrinking into the corner of the bed, she keenly noticed that as soon as she finished this action, Zhang Hongyi's eyes flashed a bit of panic, as if he was a little regretful, but because of his face, he did not open his mouth to comfort her. She paused, a look of fear and timidity on her face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Hongyi's fist loosen, with a look of confusion in his eyes. She pursed her lips deliberately, tears began to well up in her eyes, and her nose twitched twice on purpose.

Zhang Hongyi was usually just a green-skinned scoundrel, and the people he dealt with were all the same scoundrels. How had he ever seen such a timid little lady? Seeing Lily crying like this, she hid in the corner of the bed and tensed up. The quilt, his face was as thin as a palm, his eyes looked particularly big, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders. His crying look made him even dare not move his chest that was rising violently. He clenched his hands into fists and pressed them against his thighs. , still tensed at first, when she heard Lily sobbing twice, she couldn't help it anymore, her straight back bent a little, and she lowered her voice:

"Women are troublesome and cry all the time. What do you want?"

He knew how to be subdued, and he seemed fierce, but unexpectedly had a soft heart that had no control over women. Lily's body wrapped under the quilt slowly relaxed:

"It's too dark in the room. I want to sit in the yard. If you want to go out, don't lock the door." As soon as she said this, Zhang Hongyi's thick eyebrows wrinkled: "Don't talk nonsense, Ying This place in the state is a mixed bag. The locals know better and dare not try to trick you, but there are also foreigners in this place. The alley is very chaotic. If I were not at home and locked the door, you would be harmed later. I Even if I beat someone to death and give you compensation, I won’t be able to get it back.”

Yingzhou is not only a gathering place for exiled criminal slaves, but also because it is adjacent to foreign races. Sometimes some foreigners will flock into Yingzhou during war disasters. The imperial court here has almost abandoned this place, and the real power is held by a few of the generals. In his hands, he was like a local emperor, dominating one area. It often happened that women and children were assassinated. Because the population was chaotic, it was impossible to find the criminals.

Although Zhang Hongyi was quite famous in the market, many local young people did not dare to trouble Lily, but it was difficult to prevent the bold foreigners from coming. In the plot, Lily Zhou knew this very well. She tried her best not to go out when she could go out as little as possible. Lily listened to what he said without making a sound.

After a while, Zhang Hongyi scratched his messy head and said, "Okay, okay, women are just timid. I'll buy you a candle and light it later, and the room will light up."

It can be seen that his family is not wealthy. In the past, he was a single person who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. In the early years, he would kill pigs and exchange the money for wine. The family was extremely poor. This morning, he invited The doctor couldn't come up with the money for the medicine when he came to see the doctor. At this time, he also said that he wanted to buy candles. Lily didn't believe it. Zhang Hongyi naturally saw her face and became a little angry: "What are you doing? You still don't believe me to buy candles?"

"You didn't even pay the doctor that morning." Lily really didn't believe it. When Zhang Hongyi heard what she said, he almost jumped up as if someone had hurt his feet: "Even if I don't have money, I'm better off than you." , you can't even get out five cents!" After he said this, he felt as if he had won Lily, and said proudly: "I'm telling you this, I've taken care of your wife, you If you can't get the money to redeem your life in a day, I will keep it for you, but it can't be raised in vain. If you can't get it in a day, you have to add five cents. If you can't get it in two days, the five cents have to be turned over and become fifty cents. By analogy, if you can't come up with the money to redeem yourself in a year and a half, this wife will belong to me. I will raise her to you in just one year. If you don't believe it, you can escape. I’m in the palm of my hand.”

His words already revealed that he would not touch Lily for the time being. Listen to what he said. Lily's tense heart finally relaxed. Although Zhang Hongyi opened his mouth and obviously had no intention of giving up, fortunately he gave himself a year. Lily was relieved, but Zhang Hongyi was not stupid either. He saw the look on Lily's face and continued:

"But during this year, you are not allowed to have any evil ideas. Just stay by my side and live with me. I know that I am not good-looking and my family is poor. You are from a noble family and you think I am not worthy. You, if I force you, there is no guarantee that you will blame me. Although I, Zhang Hongyi, am not a good person, but since you said it, I can let you go, but only for one year. If you can't get the money within one year, you Just don't blame me!" He finished. After a pause: "During this year, you must also try to get along well with me. If you agree, I, Zhang Hongyi, will nail it with my spit. This matter is settled. If you don't agree, it will be changed tomorrow." I'll save a few kilograms of meat and drink some wine, and I'll pay my respects to you. But if you regret it midway, you can't blame me."

Lily listened to what he said seriously, with a serious look in her big eyes. She originally thought she could delay it for a few days and put off what happened a few days later, but she didn't expect that after she expressed her intention not to marry Zhang Hongyi, he actually agreed!

It is conceivable that this person's character is not as scary as he showed. The original owner in the plot is only afraid of him, but has not touched Zhang Hongyi's character at all. Lily nodded and temporarily lived with Zhang Hongyi. He also promised that they would only be husband and wife in name only, so her heart fell to the ground. She pointed to the room:

"That's okay. If that's the case, I will consider you carefully. But after all, we are alone and it is not good to sleep in the same bed. Why don't you go out drinking and build a house together? It's better to live separately!" She dared to make another request, but this time Zhang Hongyi refused and slapped his chest loudly: "Who do you think my surname is Zhang? I said that's it. , but it's not possible for me to sleep separately. I just promised not to consummate the marriage for the time being, but I didn't say I couldn't be next to you. You also promised to do good things with me. If you sleep separately all day long, wouldn't you be regretting it?" He just said As I said, the trap is being dug here.

This man seems to be honest and foolish, but in fact he is also shrewd.

It could be seen that Lily was not willing, so she immediately changed her method, hoping to coax her to marry willingly in a year. Lily felt a little unsure after hearing what he said, but at this time, such a result was already an unexpected surprise. She had no other choice but to reluctantly believe in Zhang Hongyi. After all, if he used force, she would not be his opponent at all. He did not need to use such words to deceive herself.

"What's more, although I won't worship you for the time being, you are still my wife's daughter-in-law in name, otherwise this scoundrel from Yingzhou City will skin you alive! In a few days, I will ask my brothers to come over and have a drink to make you recognize me. Regarding the relationship, just say that you are young, and the wedding ceremony will be postponed until a year later. If we sleep separately, and people know that my surname is Zhang, I have to be suppressed when asking for a wife, where can I put my face?" He puffed out his chest and said in a voice It's quite big: "The male is the master of the house, and the female is the master of the house. From now on, it's up to you to take care of the house. You can't touch it. You should cook the food, right?"

Lily nodded reluctantly. Seeing her obedient look, Zhang Hongyi felt satisfied and grinned: "Okay, then just stay well!" After saying that, he turned around to find some clothes to change and wanted to run out. Hui Baihe didn't call him again. Zhang Hongyi changed his clothes, pinched some copper coins, locked the door and went out.

She was alone in the room again. After waiting for Zhang Hongyi for a long time, Lily got up and started practicing star training.

Before a round of physical training was finished, and it was still light outside, Zhang Hongyi's footsteps came back. Lily quickly climbed into bed. He returned to the room and took a look at Lily. Without talking to Lily, he went out again. .

This time he probably wasn't going to go out again, because the door wasn't locked yet. After being locked in the room for a whole day, Lily was almost unbearable. This was the first time she had truly stepped into the mission world. When she left the room, she had not seen the sun for several days. The sun had not completely set at this time, and the sunset light shone on her body, which was a bit dazzling.

Zhang Hongyi's shabby house has two rooms in total, and the yard is quite large. It seems to be about a hundred square meters, but there is nothing there and it looks a bit empty. The sheds at the back where the animals were supposed to be fed have collapsed. . The wall was in tatters and the courtyard door was open. Zhang Hongyi came back with a load of water. When the two full buckets of water fell on his shoulders, they looked light and airy. As he walked, his face was neither red nor out of breath. Only the square scarf wrapped in his bun on his head was swaying, and he looked quite happy.

Obviously he didn't expect Lily to be standing at the door. When he looked up and saw her, he frowned: "What are you doing out here? Stop blowing the wind and go back to the house."

"I won't come back!" Lily shook her head. The room was damp and cold, nothing like it was outside. She originally entered the room and wanted to move a stool to sit on. But looking around, apart from the stool in front of the stove, there were only a few benches in front of the dining table. She stretched out her hands to drag them away, but Zhang Hongyi cursed when he saw that she was disobedient. But he carried water into the house, poured the water into the tank, carried the stool outside for her with a cold face, ignored her, and went into the house by himself.

After a while, he took out the old quilt again and draped it on Lily. Lily wanted to hide, but his eyes widened: "What are you doing? The disease is not cured yet. If something happens, who is responsible?"

"The quilt is sweaty, not warm, and smells bad." He was very strong, and when he saw Lily struggling, he simply wrapped it up for her himself, so that Lily couldn't struggle. After complaining for a few words, he snorted from his nostrils: "Poverty is important!"

Even so. After a while, he still reluctantly said: "When the sun gets stronger one day, just take it out to dry in the sun."

Lily ignored him and decided to take apart the quilt and wash it after the weather was better and her body recovered. Zhang Hongyi is right. The area in Yingzhou is too chaotic. If she wants to establish herself safely in this place, she still doesn't have the ability. For the time being, she has to live under the same roof with Zhang Hongyi. Zhang Hongyi is responsible for her safety, food and drink. There are some things You should have done it yourself.

"Stay in the house and don't go out of the yard." Seeing that she was still obedient, Zhang Hongyi raised his brows with a proud expression, but pretended to be fierce and deliberately threatened her a few words, and then he picked up the bucket and prepared to go out. .

"Is the well far away?" Zhang Hongyi didn't understand what she meant by asking, but he still shook his head. Lily glanced at him: "I want to take a bath."

Two days into the mission, the body was still having a fever yesterday and yesterday. It was sweating a lot. It was covered in a quilt and the clothes smelled. Lily had endured it for two days. Now when she saw Zhang Hongyi carrying water, she couldn't bear it. After living there, there was no bathing place around, except for an abandoned livestock shed. She didn’t quite trust Zhang Hongyi, so she rolled her eyes and said, “Why don’t you find some mud bricks tomorrow, repair it, and build a shed?” When I came out, the wind stopped blowing when I took a shower."

Yingzhou is a very strange place. It's extremely hot during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night. Sometimes it freezes people's hands. Zhang Hongyi is not afraid of the cold, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. He usually lives alone, so he can do whatever he wants. Sometimes even if he kills too many pigs, he comes back with a bucket of cold water to wipe his body. Firstly, he saves firewood. Secondly, he is alone and does not need to avoid anyone's eyes and ears. Now that there is one more person in the room, he begins to feel I got some headaches.

Lily insisted on taking a bath, and he promised not to touch her for the time being. He had not really consummated the marriage, so he had to avoid places where he should avoid suspicion. Thinking about this, he naturally had to build a tent. Thinking about how he usually lives his life freely. , now that he has an extra daughter-in-law, he has not reaped any benefits, but he seems to be being restrained.

He went out to kill pigs on the second day. Instead, he went out early in the morning to pick up some soil and went home. He also took an ax and went up the mountain to chop some firewood. When he was building a frame while planing wood in the yard, he saw Lily. Squatting in the courtyard, my heart was full of fire.

"Go get me a bowl of water!" He was working in full swing. He had to chop, pick, and carry all the things he had to go up to the mountain early in the morning for her to take a bath. Now that he came back, he was very busy. She was doing well, squatting next to her. As if watching the fun, he was still playing around. Zhang Hongyi originally imagined that after marrying a wife, the man would take care of the outside and the woman would take care of the house. Now the reality is so different from the imagination. He suddenly threw away the work in his hands and stood up. Lily spoke from behind, raised her hand and was about to lower her body to pat her. Before he touched her, Lily was still thinking that the yard was a big place and she could find some vegetables to grow. She didn't expect that he would suddenly run over. He was startled when he spoke behind him. He subconsciously turned around and threw the mud in his hand towards his back.

"Ah bah..." The dirt was sprinkled all over his head and face, and his messy hair was all over his face. Now he stared at Lily angrily, with an expression as if he wanted to eat someone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come over and talk suddenly, and I didn't mean it." Seeing him like this, Lily couldn't help but want to laugh, and reached out to scratch the sand on his head. Zhang Hongyi was still a little angry at first, But when she touched him, a blush spread from behind his neck and ears. He took two steps back as if he was frightened. He shook his clothes vigorously and scratched his face. He had no hands or feet. Regardless of the severity, his face, which was not handsome in the first place, was scratched with several bloody marks, but he looked nonchalant. After a while, he seemed to remember something:

"Get me a bowl of water!"

After getting along with him for a few days, Lily has roughly figured out Zhang Hongyi's character. He looks fierce and unreasonable, and a rogue, but in fact he is not as bad-minded as he appears, and he has one advantage, that He kept his word, he made an agreement with her yesterday, and he was as expected when he went to bed at night. No matter how fierce he shouted, Lily was no longer afraid of him: "If you want some water, you can go and give me the fire." Light it and wash the pot."

He just wanted to drink water, but Lily seemed to want to light a fire. Zhang Hongyi was a little surprised:

"Are you going to cook for me?"

It was still early, and there was still a long time before lunch. Zhang Hongyi enjoyed the feeling of someone making a fire and cooking for the first time. His eyes lit up for a moment. Lily glanced at him and poured cold water on his head: "I didn't eat anything in the morning. After a while, I'll boil some water and brew some mint leaves to drink." In the morning, when Zhang Hongyi went up the mountain to cut firewood, she went with him and came back with a lot of mint leaves and lotus leaves. She even dug them while no one was around. I picked up a few potato plants planted in someone else's field, and I just used them to soak them in water for drinking.

Lily's mouth has been dry for the past two days, but she doesn't dare to drink raw water. Now she is thirsty. Zhang Hongyi suddenly looked disappointed when he heard that she was not cooking: "Drink water, and you are so particular..." he read He was thinking about it, but he still dropped what he was doing and went to light the fire for her.

At noon, the two of them drank the leftover porridge from the morning. Zhang Hongyi was used to this kind of life. He only ate to fill his stomach, so after eating, he wiped his mouth and went out to work. Lily drank porridge for several days in a row, but... Drinking until your mouth tastes bitter. Except for the porridge with some minced meat cooked by Zhang Hongyikui on the second day after she entered the mission, she had never eaten anything else.

Zhang Hongyi made a living by killing pigs. He had no plan for his daily life. He would go out to treat people to drinks when he had money. He neither farmed nor had much food at home. Lily looked at the potatoes she had secretly dug in someone else's field in the morning and took them. She took out the knife and sat in the yard peeling. Zhang Hongyi glanced at her from time to time while he was working. Lily occasionally felt his eyes turning to look, and he lowered his head again.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices. Apply a small amount of oil and fry them in a pan. Add some salt. Cover the half-cooked rice grains. Pour some water to cover the lid. Lily just adds firewood to the stove. , and soon the smell of rice penetrated directly into people's nostrils.

It's not a great delicacy, but having a woman in the house makes it different.

When Zhang Hongyi entered the room in a daze, the table was already set with dishes and chopsticks, and the rice in his bowl was filled. Although there was no food on the table, he had to do everything by himself as he used to leave the pot and stove alone as soon as he got home. Taking action, Zhang Hongyi suddenly pursed his lips. There is indeed a difference when there is a woman in the house. Originally, the two-room house was shabby and shabby, and it was too wide for him to live alone. Now that there is only one more person, it seems much more lively.

The potatoes were stuffed with rice, golden and golden, and smelled delicious when bitten into his mouth. Something in his heart began to soften. Lily took the bowl and ate it in small bites, watching him put it into his mouth with big mouthfuls. , she is good at cooking. Although she only uses simple ingredients, the simpler the ingredients, the more her cooking skills are reflected. The rice dumplings are fried just right, crispy but not burnt when bitten into the mouth. He eats it sweetly, but Lily is After a moment of hesitation:

"From now on, please don't go out drinking."

"Hey! You must drink less." After entering the mission plot for several days, this was the first time that Zhang Hongyi lowered his voice and spoke with a great attitude. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
