    Divine Land, Zhao Country, Anping City, Qingshui Town.

    On a lively street in Qingshui Town, small vendors are busy attracting customers, shouting and bargaining one after another.  The breeze is warm in spring, and it is the slack season. It is noon at this time, and it is the time to rush to the market. People come and go, so it is very lively.

    Year after year of bumper harvests, the town is peaceful, and life goes on. Everyone seems to be in a good mood.  At this moment, Mu Xuan felt grief and indignation: I haven't eaten enough yet!

    Suppressing her hunger, she touched the book in her cuff, and Mu Xuan quickly walked out of the town. There are more important things than being full.

    Today is the day when Mu Xuan and Qiao Jue exchange books, and they made an appointment to meet at the river outside the town.

    From a distance, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing with his hands behind the willow tree by the river. This was Qiao Jue.  He is the son of Master Qiao, the landlord of Qingshui Town, and one of the few well-educated teenagers in the town.

    Mu Xuan walked closer and called out, "Qiao Jue, have you been here for a long time?"

    Qiao Jue turned around when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "It's only for a moment, it's okay. This time I brought you "Taiping Youyou Ji", which is enough for you to read for a few days."

    Mu Xuan took out the book in her sleeve and handed it to Qiao Jue: "Thank you so much, I borrowed your book, and I trouble you to sneak out and give it to me every time."

    Qiao Jue waved his hand: "Why bother to say these things, it's a great pleasure to taste good books together. Before you came to Qingshui Town, I couldn't even find a decent book friend. Besides, I'm not sneaking around.  My father doesn't care about me, so it's the same if I come to read by the river?"

    There are few scholars in small towns, and even fewer are willing to study hard and can read well.  Qiao Jue has always been a loner and has no friends. Later, when he met Mu Xuan, he found that this girl was not only able to read and write, but also had good opinions, so he introduced him as a close book friend.

    When Mu Xuan heard what he said, she smiled, and the two of them found a stone and sat down, ready to exchange their reading experience.  At this moment, an untimely sound broke the atmosphere.

    Mu Xuan lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.  Because it was her rumbling stomach that made the sound.

    Qiao Jue sighed and said, "Your cousin is making you hungry again? I have some snacks here, you should eat them soon."

    Mu Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you very much." She took it bluntly and started eating.  She was growing up and had a large appetite. She only drank half a bowl of gruel in the morning, so it's no wonder she wasn't hungry.

    Mu Xuan ate her snacks slowly, feeling sad.

    As long as she can remember, mother and daughter have always lived together.  She never met her father, and her mother never mentioned it.  Mu is also the mother's surname.  In my memory, my mother always talked very little, and she seldom smiled. She always looked at a certain place in a daze, and she was in a daze for most of the day.

    Slowly, as she grew up, she once asked where her father had gone, but her mother just kept silent and said nothing.  Later, Mu Xuan stopped asking.  Afterwards, the mother finally became thinner and thinner day by day, like a candle in the wind, she was seriously ill but refused to seek medical advice, and died so lonely and desperate.

    Since her mother passed away when she was nine years old, she has no relatives in this world.  Later, he came to Qingshui Town and lived in the home of his cousin Wang Fu who lived far away. From then on, he lived a life without enough food and clothing.

    Until the mother was seriously ill, the life of the mother and daughter was still decent, the family was well-off, and there was no need to worry about food and clothing.  The mother also bought enlightenment books, taught Mu Xuan to read and write, and taught her to behave appropriately.

    After coming to my cousin's house, my cousin and aunt always couldn't understand Ning Xuan's ladylike demeanor, picking her nose and eyes, and Mu Xuan could pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore them.  However, there is one thing that does not work, and that is the problem of eating.

    Biaojiu's family conditions are not very good, there are four children, plus Mu Xuan, the daily rations of the seven people will be quite a lot.  Even though her mother had left enough money for Mu Xuan to eat and drink for half her life, after receiving the money, her cousin, Wang Li, still felt that Mu Xuan was an eyesore, and she cursed at every turn. She only hated that she was blind and took in such a fool  .

    Under such circumstances, it is common for Mu Xuan to not have enough to eat, and more than half of the days in the past two years have been half full.  Fortunately, she met Qiao Jue, and Qiao Jue's family is a landlord.  Ever since she knew that Mu Xuan was often hungry, every time she came to change books, Qiao Jue would bring some food.  With Qiao Jue's help, Mu Xuan finally didn't suffer from hunger.

    Qiao Jue saw her distracted while eating, so she said, "Mu Xuan, there is no way for you to continue like this, but I can't help you much. When you first came to Qingshui Town two years ago, you are much more mellow than you are now."  .Now the cheeks are pointed, if this goes on, there will be something wrong with starvation."

    Mu Xuan smiled helplessly: "Then what can I do, my cousin's family is not having a good time."

    Qiao Jue said: "It's not easy.For the next two full days, Mu Xuan was thinking about this question, but she still came up with nothing.  Are you going to look for Qiao Jue again?  Everyone in Qingshui Town knows that the Qiao family is very rich, and Qiao Jue is the young master, so he must have some savings.  But how can this be opened?

    Mu Xuan is very aware of Qiao Jue's character, as long as she opens her mouth, Qiao Jue will definitely not refuse, but she doesn't want their friendship to be cast in the shadow of money, although Qiao Jue doesn't care.  Qiao Jue has helped her enough, but this time, Mu Xuan is going to flee, and it is more likely that he will be implicated.

    Mu Xuan quickly dismissed this idea, and decided not to bother Qiao Jue, but to look for other opportunities to make money.

    Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the two of them to make an appointment again.

    It just so happened that the Wang family had nothing for Mu Xuan to do that day, so Mu Xuan came out after breakfast.  When she went out, Mrs. Wang and Li gave her a sideways look: "Go again to embarrass others, and don't come back again if you have the guts. It's only when you really enter someone's door." Mu Xuan just went out as if she couldn't hear anything.

    Arriving at the old place, Qiao Jue still arrived early. The difference was that this time there was a stack of books on the rock at his feet instead of the one he usually held in his hand.

    When Mu Xuan approached, Qiao Jue said, "Mu Xuan, I have something to tell you." There was a rare seriousness on his face.

    Mu Xuan was also surprised, did something happen?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
