Wang Cuiyun looked at Xu Lian, then at the sturdy man, hesitated for a moment, and said to the sturdy man carefully, "Why don't you go back first? If my Xiya needs a man in the future, I will definitely ask you to come live with me."
The sturdy man's face suddenly darkened. "When you needed me to come in, you had the audacity to call me over. When you didn't need me anymore, you drove me away. What do you think of me?"
It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. This strong man obviously doesn't want to leave.
"If you don't want to leave, then leave your life behind."
Xu Lian's voice was cold. He protected Li Xiya behind him and pulled out the sharp knife on his belt. He was ready to fight with every knife!
The sturdy man's face changed drastically, and he quickly stood up from the table and also pulled out the sharp knife for self-defense. "Good boy, you dare to fight with me with a knife, I want to see how strong you are."
Li Xiya nervously put her hand on Xu Lian's back, "Lian'er, don't be like this, I'm fine, let him go."
In this world, almost everyone carries a knife for self-defense, but few dare to fight with a knife.
Because when both of them have knives, it is hard to predict life or death.
Even if you can kill the other person, you will be injured. Once you are injured, you will lose the ability to work and earn food, which is no different from being dead.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not choose to fight with swords.
Xu Lian certainly understood this principle, but he had now advanced to become a warrior in the Skin Refining Stage. His skin was tough, and he had a great advantage in a sword fight with ordinary people.
The sturdy man sneered at Li Xiya, "If you want me to leave, you can either have fun with me or compensate me with ten kilograms of food."
"Nima!"
Xu Lian already had murderous intent in his heart, and after hearing these words, he became even more murderous. Holding the sharp knife, he suddenly pounced at the sturdy man.
spell!
Li Xiya was so scared that she started crying. She tried to help in a panic but was worried about disturbing Xu Lian.
Wang Cuiyun quickly grabbed her and pulled her to the stove in the corner to hide. "Don't do anything stupid, girl. Knife fighting is a man's job. Women just need to wait for the result. No matter who lives or dies, women will not suffer. This is the principle of women's survival."
The sound of clothes being torn was heard, accompanied by blood spurting out. Li Xiya burst into tears and was held tightly by Wang Cuiyun, who would not let her go.
"you!"
The sturdy man soon realized something was wrong. His sharp knife cut into Xu Lian's body like cutting into burlap, hardly causing any damage. Moreover, Xu Lian was incredibly strong, not like a sixteen-year-old boy at all. This made him think of a terrible possibility, and he immediately became terrified.
Fight with swordsmen
What’s the difference between this and seeking death
He panicked and turned and ran away.
Xu Lian did not give him a chance to escape. He chased him, knocked him to the ground, and stabbed him.
A pool of blood soon formed on the ground, and the strong man was completely motionless.
Seeing that Xu Lian won the knife fight, Li Xiya burst into tears of joy.
Wang Cuiyun also looked at Xu Lian in a daze.
Li Xiya reacted and frantically looked for a piece of cloth to check the injuries on Xu Lian's body, preparing to bandage him, but found that there were only a few shallow red marks on his body and he was not seriously injured.
"I'm fine."
Xu Lian picked up the body of the sturdy man and prepared to throw it away.
"Wait a moment."
Wang Cuiyun shouted and brought over the small ceramic cup to fill with blood.
Xu Lian didn't know what to say, she was a person who understood life...
"Okay."
After filling a cup, Wang Cuiyun waved her hand.
Xu Lian carried the body out of the house and threw it into the river. This river flows through Luzhu Town, and almost everything is thrown into it, just like the Ganges.
Wang Cuiyun said with regret, "It's a pity that the night watchmen only drink fresh blood. Otherwise, if we save half a bucket, we can live comfortably."
Seeing Xu Lian was silent and seemed angry, Wang Cuiyun kept mumbling, "You came back so late, I thought you were dead, and you called this man in. You can't blame me for this. This is the way the world is. We have to live, right?"
Xu Lian didn't want to talk to her. He fetched some water to wash off the blood and dust from working in the mine, and changed into clean clothes.
Wang Cuiyun kept on talking, "Family members don't keep their words overnight, so just talk it out. If I had known that you were good at fighting with a knife and that you wouldn't die so easily, I wouldn't have called the man in so quickly. I'll wait for you for one more day next time, okay?"
Xu Lian raised his hand and pointed at the beef leg leaning against the door, "I'm hungry, stew the beef for me."
Wang Cuiyun didn't care about the title. When she heard the word beef, her eyes lit up and she screamed, "Beef?"
She walked to the door half-believingly and untied the rag wrapped around the beef leg. Seeing such a big beef leg, she was so excited that she almost fainted. The wrinkles on her face were squeezed into a pile, and her mouth was split with laughter. "Lian'er has grown up to be a master. He got such a big piece of beef. Xiya was right to find you!"
Xu Lian said impatiently, "Don't talk too much, hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry."
Wang Cuiyun didn't care about his attitude at all, and said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, if you let me eat enough every day, I will call you grandpa every day."
Li Xiya was suspicious, "Where did Lian Ge'er get the beef?"
Xu Lian reached out and pulled her over, holding her in his arms, "Of course it was cut from a cow..."
Li Xiya said worriedly, "I'm serious. Beef is a rare commodity. Don't cause any trouble."
Xu Lian said, "Eat it with confidence. No one saw me stealing it."
"Stolen?"
Li Xiya opened her mouth in surprise.
Wang Cuiyun, who was cutting beef, turned around and said, "No matter if it's stolen or robbed, if you can get meat for a woman to eat these days, you're a capable man!"
Xu Lian said, "Call me Master and let me hear it."
Wang Cuiyun said without hesitation, "Master."
"Not enough, call again."
"Master..."
"Why."
Li Xiya blushed when she heard this and lightly hit Xu Lian in a reproachful manner. Knowing that Xu Lian was angry, she didn't say anything.
Xu Lian smiled and felt much better.
After about half an hour, the beef was stewed.
The three of them began to eat big chunks.
"Master, eat more."
Wang Cuiyun picked up a big piece for Xu Lian.
Li Xiya couldn't bear to listen any longer, "Mom, please stop talking."
Xu Lian felt amused. Sometimes he felt that Wang Cuiyun was quite cute when she got older, with a personality similar to that of a child.
After dinner.
Wang Cuiyun took some salt and rubbed it on the beef leg, marinating it to prevent it from going bad, and carried it into the inner room, treating it like a treasure.
"It's late, take a rest."
She closed the door of the inner room and left Li Xiya in the outer room.
Xu Lian looked at Li Xiya eagerly.
Li Xiya blushed.
At this point, needless to say, Xu Lian decisively blew out the candle.
In the dark room, two figures slipped into the bed, and then were tossed by waves.
After an unknown amount of time, a cold wind started to blow outside the door. Xu Lian knew that the night watchman had come, so he quickly remained still.
After the night watchman drank the blood and walked away, everything returned to normal.

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.
"It's time to make some more progress."
Xu Lian was happy.
He has no skills or props now, so there is nothing to consider. He can only choose to increase his rank.
"Rank, give me some advancement!"
After the rank points are added, by adding a python tendon, you can advance to the tendon refining stage.
"Python tendons, python tendons?"
Xu Lian frowned. The higher the level, the more difficult and rare the raw materials needed.
