"Rustle..."
A light chilly breeze blew outside the door, like the sound of fallen leaves being blown, or like the sound of footsteps.
Xu Lian felt a chill down his spine and held his breath, knowing that the "night watchman" had arrived.
Getting closer.
Seems to be lingering at the door.
I could vaguely hear a "slurping" sound, as if someone was drinking something, but it was definitely not Kola... it was probably blood from the ceramic cup.
So scary!
So scary!
After a while, the rustling sound gradually faded away and Xu Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe he was frightened, or maybe he slept too much during the day, or maybe he was worried about his current situation. His body tossed and turned like a pancake, and he just couldn't fall asleep.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opening with a "creak". He was startled and looked at the wooden door quickly. He found that the wooden door was not open, but the door to the inner room was slightly open.
A graceful figure slipped out from the inner room, came to his bed, bent down and got into the quilt.
The thriller suddenly turned into a romance...
Xu Lian was stunned, his mind went blank, happiness came too suddenly.
"Does the injury still hurt?"
Li Xiya put her hand on his face.
Xu Lian reached out and covered her hand, not letting her hand leave. Humph, if you're here, don't leave. "It doesn't hurt... So sweet."
"Brother Lian has grown up and become a man."
Li Xiya's hand trembled, but she didn't take it away. She said softly, "Don't be afraid, Lian'er. No matter what happens, I won't abandon you, and I won't let other men enter the house."
At this moment, who can bear this... Anyway, Xu Lian can't bear it.
The old house was pitch black, the bed was hot, and the atmosphere was charming.
The bright moonlight poured in from the small window, and it looked like frost on the ground.
Xu Lian let out a long sigh, and the facts proved that he was truly a man.
Suddenly, a curtain of light appeared in front of him.
Name: Xu Lian
Rank: None
Skills: None
Props: None
Note 1: Li Xiya's favorability towards you has reached 90\100, and you gain 1 advancement point. You can choose any one of rank, skill, or item to advance.
Note 2: When the favorability is above 90/100, you will gain one advancement point for each increase in favorability. If the favorability drops and then increases again, you cannot gain advancement points repeatedly.
Note 3: While maintaining a favorability of 90\100 or above, you will receive an additional advancement point for each child Li Xiya gives birth to for you.
Xu Lian was surprised, this... this is the golden finger!
Although late, it has arrived. This is the experience summarized by the predecessors who traveled through time.

Of course, it is also possible that the golden finger had already arrived, but he just didn't find the correct way to open it until the triggering conditions were met just now.
This is a golden finger that can improve your strength with just a "broken sleep". Who doesn't like it
"Rank, give me some points!"
There's nothing to think about.
He chose the realm to add points.
Since he doesn't have skills or props now, he can only choose the rank.
After the rank points are added, add a piece of cowhide to advance to the leather refining stage
Cowhide
Do you need raw materials to upgrade
Xu Lian felt a headache. He was penniless now and even had trouble eating. Where could he get a cowhide
"If we can't get the raw materials and can't upgrade, then having a system is the same as having nothing?"
Thinking about this thorny problem, he fell asleep in a daze.
The sky brightened.
Xu Lian woke up refreshed and found that his injuries had almost healed, which made him happy and confused.
"Without the raw materials, and the system not yet taking effect, why did my injury heal so quickly? Could it be that the fusion of the two souls has enhanced my body's ability to recover?"
This is the only explanation, and it is the experience summed up by the predecessors who traveled through time.
Seeing Li Xiya waking up, Xu Lian's heart moved. Now Li Xiya's favorability towards him is 90/100. If it increases further, he will continue to gain advancement points.
"Sister Xiya, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer..."
After a moment.
Li Xiya frowned, her eyes showing a hint of reproach.
Xu Liangu checked his favorability and found that it had not increased.
This made him feel ashamed. It seemed that favorability had nothing to do with the number of times they slept together. It was mainly about the cultivation of feelings.
"cough!"
“Ahem!”
From the inner room, Wang Cuiyun's loud coughing was heard.
Xu Lian knew that this was a reminder for him to go to the mine to work and earn food, so he quickly got up.
Li Xiya also blushed, opened the wooden door of the outer room, and brought in the ceramic cup at the door.
Xu Lian took a look and found that the ceramic cup was cleaner than if it had been licked by a dog.
"Why are you dawdling? Why don't you go to the mines and work to earn food?"
The door to the inner room opened and Wang Cuiyun walked out with a gloomy face.
Li Xiya took a sharp, brightly-sharpened knife from the small earthen stove in the corner and handed it to him.
Xu Lian took the sharp knife and put it on his belt. This is the way the world is. If you go out without a knife, you are half as safe.
The moment he put on the sharp knife, a prompt appeared in front of him: Props: Iron Knife
He immediately understood what the props referred to. They were the tools he used for self-defense, because the golden finger did not respond when he took other things. Only when he carried a sharp knife for self-defense would there be such a prompt.
"Sister Xiya, if you are hungry, don't make shoes. Lying down can reduce your body's energy consumption. Wait for me to come back with food."
Xu Lian hugged Li Xiya, then turned and walked out.
Wang Cuiyun stuck her head out to look, and seeing Xu Lian had gone far away, she quickly closed the door, went into the inner room, took out two black steamed buns, ate one, and handed one to Li Xiya.
Li Xiya was puzzled, "Didn't we finish eating the two black steamed buns yesterday? Why are there still some?"
Wang Cuiyun said calmly, "Of course I hid it. Could it be a rat?"
Li Xiya frowned, "Mom, how could you do this? Lian Ge'er is still hungry!"

Wang Cuiyun snorted coldly, "Silly girl, women should be nicer to themselves. If a man starves to death, just change him. It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but isn't it hard to find a two-legged man?"
"Lian'er has come into our family, so he is one of our own. We can't steal from him like this."
Li Xiya opened the door anxiously, wanting to chase out, and gave the black steamed bun to Xu Lian.
Wang Cuiyun screamed in fear and grabbed her, "You're going out in the broad daylight, are you trying to kill yourself?"
The morning was hazy as Xu Lian walked on the road. He saw that every household had its doors closed. Men were in a hurry, busy with their livelihoods for the day. There was no woman to be seen, which was very strange.
Most of the land in Luzhu Town is in the hands of landlords. Ordinary people have no land and can only work for others to earn food.
Seeing a family arguing on the side of the road, he looked over curiously and probably understood what was going on.
The man in this family broke his hand while working yesterday and is unable to earn food to support the family, so the woman in the family found a strong man to live with them and support the family.
The man with the broken hand begged desperately, wanting to stay at home to recuperate and leave after he was well.
The woman and the strong man disagreed and drove the man with the broken hand away, cursing at him.

Finally, the man with the broken hand expressed his willingness to bleed to the "night watchman" every day and stay at home as a "blood slave". Only then did the woman and the strong man reluctantly agree.
"I have to watch my woman get together with another man, and I have to bleed every day as a blood slave to survive at home. What kind of world is this?"
Xu Lian sighed inwardly, fortunately he had been childhood sweethearts with Sister Xiya, so he didn't end up like this.
However, in such a world, relationships maintained by feelings are actually not stable. Just as Wang Cuiyun said, "feelings cannot be eaten." One must also be able to earn food to support the family.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the mine.
