The official career of rebirth

There was no time to take a closer look at Xiaofang's delicate and determined face in the darkness. Because Xiaofang's father woke up, Xiao Tianruo was euphemistically but firmly invited by Xiaofang to leave the dark old house. (Dingding novel hand-written novel)

After being reminded by Xiao Guozheng, Xiao Tianruo suppressed his concern and did not visit again that day.

That night, a conference call was held with Zhongzhou through the satellite phone in the study. At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Tianruo returned to his room facing the west. Sitting on the edge of the pear wood bed, Xiao Tianruo vaguely felt that something was not right.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tianruo turned his head towards the west-facing window.

This point should be the time when Xiaofang exchanged her mother's results for money and came back to chop wood!

Worried that something had happened to Xiaofang's house, Xiao Tianruo got behind the curtain and used his magical power to detect it. Xiaofang's mother and father had fallen asleep in the original kitchen at home, and Xiaofang was also fine. What made Xiao Tianruo very strange was that

, Xiaofang stood motionless behind the door, reluctant to open the back door and go to the small woodshed dozens of steps away from the dilapidated home to chop wood.

Not understanding what was wrong, Xiao Tianruo used his divine power several times to confirm that there was nothing wrong with Xiaofang. Xiao Tianruo just lay at the window waiting for Xiaofang to come out.

The big wall clock in the lobby on the first floor rang eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Xiao Tianruo was practicing and waiting, but under the moonlight, the door that was supposed to be opened more than an hour ago was still not pushed open.

Suddenly, a small detail caught Xiao Tianruo's attention.

A piece of cloth had been removed from the originally tightly sealed back door of Xiaofang's house. After using his divine power to continuously explore for a moment, Xiao Tianruo discovered that Xiaofang was carefully observing the situation outside through this small gap.

Xiao Tianruo got back into the room from behind the curtain, turned his head around, and found the switch of the fluorescent lamp.

After turning off the lights, Xiao Tianruo quietly returned to the window in the darkness.

The back door, which was originally quite clear under the dual illumination of fluorescent lamps and moonlight, was now illuminated only by half-moonlight. Under the late spring night, after being quiet for a while, Xiaofang opened the door.

She stuck her head out and looked up to confirm that all the lights in Xiao's house had been turned off, and then Xiaofang walked out holding an axe.

After bending the ax handle and looking at it, it was revealed that it was a crude ax and it was leaning against the wall. Xiaofang carefully closed the back door and then blocked the door gap with a rag from the outside. After checking that there were no omissions, Xiaofang picked up the ax and walked out.

Every step he took made his whole body tremble due to the biting cold wind at night.

Seeing all this, Xiao Tianruo really wanted to jump out of the window and take this little girl with a rough fate into his arms and protect her.

Understanding that this would only make Xiaofang never dare to get close to him, Xiao Tianruo rationally gave up such an idea.

When Xiao Tianruo was absent-minded for a moment, Xiaofang was already holding the wooden handle she had installed on the axe, and walked to the woodshed.

Xiaofang skillfully pulled out a piece of firewood that would be used for tomorrow's breakfast, laid it out, and raised the axe. The delicate silhouette in the moonlight and the dark black axe at the end of the curved axe handle cut across a quarter arc and fell. Xiao Tianruo's heart

He also mentioned his throat. Xiao Tianruo was really afraid that his delicate arms would be overwhelmed and break, and the ax would fall on that delicate body.

The kind of accident that Xiao Tianruo imagined did not happen. The ax was raised high but fell gently. It was not that Xiaofang was not strong enough, but that she was afraid of waking someone up. This can be seen from her probing eyes after cutting down the axe.

out.

First she looked at the dilapidated old house, and then at the window of Xiao Tianruo's room. In the darkness, Xiaofang's cautious eyes met Xiao Tianruo's for a moment.

No problem was found, so I held the ax with both hands and tried to break it open. The ax, which was afraid of wolves and tigers later, did not split the firewood enough to separate it. After struggling to pull out the ax under the moonlight, I carefully looked at my house and then towards it.

Looking in the direction of Xiao Tianruo, Xiaofang once again swung the ax which was in stark contrast to her weak body.

Every time Xiaofang swings a heavy axe, Xiao Tianruo has to worry about her. After Xiaofang drops the axe, Xiao Tianruo will quickly see if her parents are awakened by the sound of their daughter chopping firewood. When Xiaofang looks at him,

, even though he knew it was impossible to be discovered, Xiao Tianruo still smiled at her.

After confirming that no one had been disturbed, Xiaofang smiled vaguely in relief under the moonlight.

It took Xiaofang half an hour to split a piece of wood that was no bigger than Xiao Tianruo's calf into firewood that could be used for cooking.

Three wooden stakes, three meals in the morning, lunch and dinner, and enough for tomorrow's day. After Xiaofang finished all this, she supported the earthen wall of the firewood shed and wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead in the cold wind. It was already well past midnight.

Looking at Xiaofang who had been working carefully for nearly two hours before chopping the firewood, Xiao Tianruo wondered why she didn't take the firewood to a slightly farther place to chop it. But he found that Xiaofang didn't look away from him when wiping sweat.

Xiao Tianruo understood that it was a "family". It was not that Xiaofang was afraid of the dark and did not dare to go far, but that she was worried about her parents who were already asleep.

After carefully organizing the firewood that would ensure enough food for the next day and hiding it in the safest corner of the woodshed, Xiaofang did not go home immediately.

Smiling, she glanced at the earthen house that looked scary in the dark, like a haunted house. Xiaofang held her ax and looked up at the half-bent moon.

This angle allowed the moonlight to shine on her face to the maximum extent, and what Xiao Tianruo saw was a slightly clearer face of a girl with deep yearning.

In order to maintain this family, she gave up everything that a young girl should have. The moment after chopping firewood and going back to the house to sleep was the only time Xiaofang had to dream.

Next to the osmanthus tree that is faintly visible on the half-curved moon, is there a powerful man named Wu Gang who chops firewood every day like her? If so, Xiaofang really wants to borrow a sharper ax when he is resting. In this way,

She would spend less time chopping wood at night. If she finished chopping wood early, she could look at the night sky, the stars, and the moon and have more girlish dreams.

He didn't know what Xiaofang was thinking. Looking at Xiaofang's smile that grew stronger under the moonlight but then faded in an instant, Xiao Tianruo just felt that this was the girl in the world who should not bear the pain.

If there is a warm family, Xiaofang can grow up without any worries. With her beauty and her knowledge and courtesy, she will definitely marry into the best family;

If there is a wealthy family, Xiaofang can learn more knowledge. With her perseverance and hard work, she will definitely have a career worthy of her efforts;

As long as there is a family that is not so rough, Xiaofang does not have to swing an ax to chop firewood with her weak arms on a cold night. With the kindness in her heart, she also has the right to dream. But now, she can only look up at the pointed crescent moon.

Looking forward to my own broken life.

Xiaofang put the ax away and carefully closed the two door panels. She took two steps back and lay on her back on the bed. There were tears in the corners of Xiao Tianruo's eyesdd
