With the return of spring, all things on earth are recovering, and the buds that have just emerged from the ground are bathed in the rising sunshine. Ruanjia Village, which has survived the disaster, is bursting with more vitality than before. ?
Half of the dilapidated houses were being repaired, and early in the morning someone came back to the village carrying logs or stones from the mountains.
A fat aunt in her forties was cleaning the door of her house when she saw a petite girl carrying a long and thick log on her back, struggling to walk on the gravel road.
"Hey, Xingzhu, these are things men do. There are so many men in your family helping, why do you have to fight against the logs?" The fat aunt dropped the broom in her hand and was about to help lift the logs.
The person carrying the logs was Ruan Xingzhu. He was almost seventeen years old and less than 1.65 meters tall. He was considered petite in this world.
"Aunt Sixteen, I can carry it. I don't need to intervene at home. This is to help Uncle Badang move. You can do your own thing. We will be here soon." Ruan Xingzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the fat aunt
Smiled.
Aunt Sixteen had only taken two steps when her eyes suddenly locked and she knelt down on the ground, "Greetings to my benefactor."
Ruan Xingzhu was dumbfounded. At this moment, his shoulders relaxed, and the log weighing nearly a hundred kilograms suddenly became light and light, and it also ran up on its own.
Before she could turn around to see what was going on, a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Go and help Auntie up." Without looking, Ding Kui was definitely behind her, and Aunt Sixteen's words and actions were easily explained.
.
"Aunt Sixteen, don't be like this, get up quickly." Ruan Xingzhu ran to Aunt Sixteen and dragged her to stand up, "He won't be happy if you do this. He will only be happy if you treat him like you treat me."
Ding Kui moved the position of the log on his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Zhu is right, I know your thoughts clearly. You don't need to express them through these false gifts. I will be satisfied if I treat Xiao Zhu better in the future."
"Yes, yes." Aunt Sixteen's lips trembled, but she didn't know what to say.
Ruan Xingzhu knew Aunt Sixteen's mood very well. When people in the village saw Ruan Jizu, they thought he was a very important person. Ding Kui, the eldest son of a marquis, was also the benefactor who saved them. It would be great if he knew how to move his hands and feet.
"We sent wood to Uncle Eighth. I'll see you later, Aunt Sixteen." Ruan Xingzhu ran away quickly, pulling Ding Kui away. Only when Ding Kui left, Aunt Sixteen would return to normal.
Ruan Xingzhu walked behind Ding Kui and stared at his back, "Aren't you in seclusion? Why did you come out?"
"If I don't come out, you silly girl will be exhausted."
"Brother Kui."
"Um?"
"congratulations."
…
Ding Kui stopped and Ruan Xingzhu behind him also stopped.
The two stood in silence for a while.
"Do you know?" Ding Kui's voice was a little hoarse.
"Well, senior brother told me that Sister Long is only two months older than me. I heard that she is a very beautiful and smart woman." Ruan Xingzhu lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes with his fingers.
At this time, Ding Kui felt that the log on his shoulders was ten times heavier. He was the one who asked Qian You to tell Ruan Xingzhu that although he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't be free and easy when he actually faced it.
"So you help others from morning to night, and don't go home to rest until you are too tired?" Ding Kui struggled to swallow.
"No, Grandpa Kun doesn't let me take care of family affairs, so I'm just idle anyway." Ruan Xingzhu's voice became weaker and weaker.
"It's not my turn to make the decision on many things at home. Even if I leave home, I still have to come back and face it..."
"You don't need to say it, I know!" Ruan Xingzhu suddenly raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Kui, you, you, have you ever liked Xiaozhu?"
Ding Kui held the log and threw it to the ground. A section of the log was inserted into the gravel ground. He turned around and met Ruan Xingzhu's eyes. He put his hands on her shoulders and said word by word: "I felt like the first time I saw you.
We have known each other for a long time. Your joy, your anger, your sorrow, your joy, all touch my heart. There is no other woman in this world who makes me feel the same. Do you think I like you?
?”
Ruan Xingzhu's body shook. Excitement, happiness, and joy filled her whole body. "I, I actually, when I saw you in the dungeon, you became a hero in my heart." She said more and more smoothly, "That day you
Come and persuade me, I seem to see myself in your eyes, Xiaozhu gave his heart to you right then."
Without hesitation, Ding Kui hugged Ruan Xingzhu into his arms. The little girl buried her head deeply into his chest, wishing she could get into his body.
"Xiaozhu, why don't you and Long Yan marry me together?" Ding Kui felt beautiful and full of happiness.
Ruan Xingzhu was struck by lightning as he imagined, and the words of his father and teacher rang in his ears.
Ruan Jizu said: "You will marry someone in the future, but it must not be Ding Kui. You can do anything here, but you must not do the same thing. You cannot take advantage of this kid from the Ding family."
Rongci said: "I don't care who you like. With your qualifications, you will challenge the God of Magic in the future. The teacher does not want you to get married before you are promoted to the Forbidden Magician. Ding Kui is the only grandson of Ding Dao, and the Ding family
I will definitely arrange for him to get married and have a son as soon as possible. It is absolutely impossible to wait for you to advance to the forbidden magician. According to the practice of the kingdom's nobles, if a concubine with a high status can give birth to a son, there is a 10 to 80 chance that he will be made a head wife. There is no one in this world.
The principle behind Dharma God being someone else's concubine is that if possible, you'd better not get too close to Ding Kui."
Her father did not agree with her marrying Ding Kui, and her teacher did not agree with her marrying so early. Although she was very willing to marry Ding Kui now, she could not agree.
"Brother Kui, my father passed away not long ago. I, Xiaozhu, am not suitable to marry you now." Ruan Xingzhu shook his head in Ding Kui's arms and said through gritted teeth.
A basin of cold water was poured on Ding Kui's head to clear his mind. This reason was too good. It was not allowed by secular concepts and there was also a prohibition in the family rules. "I'm sorry, I ignored your situation on impulse. I
I promise you that as long as the conditions are ripe, I will definitely marry you into the Ding family!"
"Well, Xiaozhu believes in Brother Kui. Oops," Ruan Xingzhu pushed Ding Kui away fiercely, "This is in the village, and the wood hasn't been sent to Uncle Eighth yet." A blush spread all over his face.
"Oh, yes, you can't be intimate in public." Ding Kui pulled out the log with force and put it on his shoulders again.
Ruan Xingzhu said in a mosquito-like voice: "Humph, you are about to get married, and I can't be intimate with you in private."
"Well, let's not talk about that. First, help the villagers repair their houses."
"Yes, if you are willing, do you think Senior Sister Li will agree to marry you?"
Damn it, do you even need to think about this question? Only a fool would answer you "yes".
Ding Kui put on a silly smile and said: "Haha, how is it possible? I offended her so much because of you. Grandpa Kun abolished the guardian of the Tian family and you killed Tian Jian. Even if she wanted to, their family would not let her."
marry me."
"Even if she is willing? So you are sure she will be willing."
"It's just an analogy. She and I are just good friends. Hey, why do you care so much about her? As long as you agree to get engaged to me, it's only natural that you take care of this matter."
"I'm asking for my future sister-in-law, there must be something wrong with you being so sensitive. Humph, I've already called you 'Fei'er', why didn't you call me 'Zhu'er'?"
"Calling me names is just a habit. I often call Lu Ying 'Little Apple'. As long as you are happy, you can call me whatever you want." Ding Kui's scalp felt numb.
"As far as you can tell, I've never seen anyone who can say it better than you. By the way, why did Qian Zongfang burn Tian Jian's body? It's a black mess, so disgusting."
"Oh, that guy, let me tell you a secret. You can't tell others that Qian Chongfeng used to be the most famous killer in the kingdom. Killer, you know, there is always a dark side in those people's hearts. I guess he is a little perverted and likes to torture.
dead body."
"Eh, so scary."
"Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
"rogue!"
…
The largest courtyard in Ruanjia Village is Ruan Xingzhu's home, where all the people brought by Ding Kui live.
Tian Jian led people to search for property and turned the place upside down, destroying many rooms in the yard.
Lao Qiantou and Shi Jiang personally repaired the courtyard, and naturally they would not let Ruan Xingzhu do it. No matter how good the craftsman was, he would be defeated by Sunset Archer, and the repairs were completed in only two days.
After dinner, Ding Kui was practicing writing with both hands while humming a little tune, and Qian You crept into the room.
"Your Majesty, what did you say to junior sister? She actually smiled. During your retreat, after I told her about your marriage, junior sister never smiled. She was busy from dawn to dusk, so she didn't tire herself out.
She's so exhausted that she won't go to bed. You just came out of seclusion, and she seems to have changed. Is this also a function of mental power?" Qianyou rarely meddles in other people's business. In Ding Kui's impression, he is the first
Once inquiring about gossip.
Ding Kui glanced at Qian You and said: "What do you think mental power is? It can even change a person's temperament? Don't interfere in the matter between me and Xiaozhu. Isn't she very good now? Master Rong's
My dear apprentice, there will be nothing wrong with you. But how are you doing with your mental strength? If you have time, why not practice more like me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't be so stingy. Calculating the time, I have been with you for six or seven years. I am also turning 30 this year, and I still don't have a partner. All the good people have little girls. I have self-knowledge. In the future,
It’s difficult to become a high-level magician, so now it’s time to get married and have children, so as to leave a lasting legacy for the Qian family.”
Ding Kui threw the pen into the pen holder, stretched out his hand to hook Gan You's shoulder, and said: "Yes, I support you on this, Brother Qian. Let's be honest, who do you like? I'll figure it out, whether it's from home or from outside.
?As long as the other party is willing, I will do it for you no matter how difficult it is."
"Uh, she is, she is." Qianyou scratched his head and hesitated.
"Who is it? It's inconvenient to tell you. Do you, like Ding Cai, also fall in love with the widow?" Ding Kui's eyes were filled with gossip.
