"Evil God?" Fang Xuer's words made Chu Zhaozhao frown.
I was secretly weighing how credible this statement was.
"Xiao Xuer, what are you doing?" At this time, a voice came from not far away.
Chu Zhaozhao looked up and saw several women holding buckets of clothes and waving to them.
"Sister Sanniang!" Fang Xuer became excited when she saw the other party, and pulled Chu Zhaozhao all the way to the women.
Chu Zhaozhao's heart trembled as he got closer and saw the appearance of the leading woman - the woman looked to be no more than twenty-five or sixty-six years old, with a graceful figure and a unique charm of a mature woman.
Her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is petite and lovely, and her red lips are so pretty.
With these facial features and this figure, he is definitely a presence that is enough to make men step over the threshold in any world.
but……
On such a beautiful face, there were two scars running through both cheeks, making that face that should have been alluring, become ferocious and ugly.
"Is this the new girl who entered the village yesterday?" Sanniang glanced at Chu Zhaozhao and asked.
Chu Zhaozhao, who was still staring directly at her, also realized that her gaze at this moment was somewhat rude, so she quickly looked away.
But Sanniang seemed to have been used to this kind of thing for a long time. She didn't take it to heart. Instead, she continued to look at Chu Zhaozhao: "The girl is quite courageous. She will do anything for her lover."
Chu Zhaozhao didn't know how to respond to Sanniang's teasing, so he could only lower his head.
"We are going to the mountain spring to wash clothes, do you want to come with us?" Sanniang added with a smile.
"Okay! Will sister Zhaozhao go?" Fang Xuer said.
Chu Zhaozhao originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly he thought about it. The mountain spring seemed to be outside the cottage. If he went out to take a look, he could take this opportunity to see the situation outside the cottage, so he simply nodded.
…
"Hey, Nvwa, can you tell us about you and your man? I heard someone say that you are from Tianxuan Mountain. That place is amazing. It is one of the most famous sects."
The mountain spring is not too far away from the village. When you stand up, you can vaguely see the outline of Goshawk Village through the shade of trees.
Chu Zhaozhao carefully lowered his head and looked around, secretly weighing in his heart where to go down the mountain if he wanted to escape from the stronghold.
Next to him, a woman who was squatting by the spring washing clothes suddenly asked.
As soon as he said this, all the women around him looked over.
"Have you seen it? Although the man from Nvwa is not handsome, he is very good-looking, and he seems to be quite capable of fighting. Yesterday, the leader of the village was stopped by him. With such a good man, I can't help but look at him.
The heart of spring is rippling, how can a little girl still want to stay in Tianxuan Mountain!?" Another woman took over the conversation and said jokingly.
Everyone said something bold to each other, making Chu Zhaozhao blush a little.
"Okay! I want to go back to my husband!" Fortunately, at this moment, the third lady said angrily, interrupting everyone's teasing.
Chu Zhaozhao, who couldn't resist anymore, couldn't help but glance at the woman gratefully, squatted down and came to her side: "Sister Sanniang, let me help you."
After saying that, he took out two pieces of clothing from the woman's wooden bucket and helped to clean them.
Sanniang glanced at the flustered Chu Zhaozhao, smiled, leaned over and said, "I heard that your man was selected into the Goshawk Army, which is the best place to make a living in our village, and he looks better than the villagers."
It's a lot more powerful than melons and jujubes, so you have to keep an eye on this hot potato of yours, some girls in our village have been ready to make a move for a long time!"
Chu Zhaozhao's face turned red when he heard this, and he did not dare to answer. He just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his hands and feet getting more and more panicked.
…
"Sister Zhaozhao, don't mind. People in our village like to joke a little bit, but they are all very good people!" On the way back, Fang Xuer kindly comforted her.
Chu Zhaozhao was teased by several women until his face turned red.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded, but his brows furrowed together.
It's not that she feels any grudge against those women for their harsh words, it's just...
What those women said was really too much for Meng Lang. She couldn't resist it for a moment, and she just lowered her head to avoid it. The business of exploring the surrounding mountains was forgotten.
She secretly thought that if she had this opportunity next time, she would definitely seize it.
"By the way, that Sanniang's face..." Chu Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that woman. Compared with those women who spoke freely, Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little fond of the Sanniang who stopped the women for her.
Mentioning this matter, the smile on Fang Xuer's face faded a lot, and she lowered her head and said, "It is said that Sister Sanniang was originally a young lady from a large family in Cangzhou. Because of her beauty, she was spotted by the county magistrate in the city. She wanted to
I want to take her as my concubine."
"Sister Sanniang's parents refused, so the county magistrate framed her and put her parents and brothers in jail to force her to submit."
"Her parents and brother did not want to see her suffer such humiliation and committed suicide in prison. Sister Sanniang learned the news and on her wedding night, she cut her face like this with a knife..."
"But the county magistrate still refused to let her go and bought her into Goulan. She almost had a setback before escaping to Gosying Village."
Although Chu Zhaozhao had already prepared what would happen to Sanniang from her appearance, she still couldn't help but feel nervous and panicked after hearing these words.
"Then the county magistrate is so evil and no one cares about it? Why doesn't she go to the state pastor and insist on coming here to be a bandit?" Chu Zhaozhao asked with a frown.
"But what if the state pastor and the county magistrate are the same?" Fang Xuer asked in a low voice.
"Then continue to appeal. Could it be that in the huge Yu Dynasty, there was no good official, and they were all treacherous people?" Chu Zhaozhao said with some indignation.
After hearing this, the little girl's face showed a bitterness that was not consistent with her age.
"Of course there are good officials in this world, and of course not everyone who is an official is a bad person. But..." After saying this, she looked up at Chu Zhaozhao and said quietly: "Sister, have you ever thought about..."
"If the next official you meet is also a villain, will you survive until you can continue to appeal?"
"Everyone knows that there are good people and evil people in this world, but for ordinary people like us, sometimes we don't dare to bet that the next official will be a good person."
"Because often, losing a bet means losing your life..."
…
"Brother Qingxiao, are you tired? Come and have a drink of water!"
"Brother Qingxiao, I heard that going to the Goshawk Army is very hard! You have to pay attention to rest!"
"I'll go to the foot of the mountain to pick up the goods. Sometimes it takes a whole day. I'll make some dry food and bring it to you then!"
Chu Zhaozhao walked in the cottage with her head in her thoughts. She thought about what happened to Sanniang and what Fang Xuer said, and she always felt bored and panicked.
While I was troubled, a burst of orioles and swallows came from the front.
She looked up and saw a group of young girls gathered in front of the newly built wall in front of her house. They were holding fruits in their hands and were showing their attentiveness to the young people in the courtyard.
The girls were very enthusiastic, but the boy seemed a little unable to resist. He just kept smiling and didn't know how to deal with it.
At this moment, he seemed to finally be unable to resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, and stretched out his hand to take the green fruit from a woman.
"He is a hot commodity now, so you have to keep an eye on him!"
In Chu Zhaozhao's mind, Sanniang's words flashed into his mind.
She suddenly felt angry and walked up quickly. Before Chu Qingxiao could take the green fruit, she reached out with one hand and snatched it away.
"What are you doing! That's for..." The girl suddenly felt angry, stamped her feet, and looked at the uninvited guest.
But after seeing Zhao Zhao's appearance clearly, the girl felt guilty and swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Chu Qingxiao also looked surprised at Chu Zhaozhao's sudden arrival.
When he was confused, he saw Chu Zhaozhao put the green fruit in his hand to his mouth and bit it, then his eyebrows arched: "It's delicious, thank you sister."
After saying this, she stretched out her hand to hold Chu Qingxiao's hand affectionately, and said: "Husband, you are so amazing. You repaired such a big yard in a long time!"
"Look, you're so tired that your head is covered in sweat. Let me wipe it for you."
As she spoke, she picked up her feet and gently wiped the sweat on Chu Qingxiao's forehead with her sleeves.
Such an action was extremely intimate. Chu Zhaozhao's body was almost pressed against Chu Qingxiao's chest. He smelled the fragrance coming from the girl's body and felt the soft touch on his chest. Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but feel a little distraught, his face was faintly red, and his body
He froze in place and was at a loss for a moment.
When the girls surrounding the courtyard saw Chu Zhaozhao's appearance, their faces turned blue with anger. They all stamped their feet and left angrily.
"Miss Chu..." Chu Qingxiao felt a little uncomfortable. Such an ambiguous posture made him feel inexplicably angry.
"Don't move." But what he said was a slightly serious response from Chu Zhaozhao. At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao reached out and touched Chu Qingxiao's forehead randomly while looking sideways in the direction where the girls were leaving.
It wasn't until she was sure that they were far away that she finally got angry.
She retracted her hand, looked at the disappearing figures of everyone with some pride, and muttered: "I'm trying to steal a man from you, and I don't even care what you look like!"
"Huh?" Chu Qingxiao on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing Chu Zhaozhao's words, his eyes suddenly widened.
Chu Zhaozhao's face suddenly turned red. Knowing that he had made a mistake, the girl waved her hands in front of her body and explained in a panic.
"I...I mean..."
"No, that's not what I meant."
"I mean, let's do the whole show. We are husband and wife now. Naturally, we can't watch them touching you without being indifferent, right?"
"What's more... I have to help my junior uncle keep an eye on you, right? I can't let them compete with my junior uncle for a man, right?"
"Is that so..." Chu Qingxiao nodded when he heard this, seeming a little disappointed.
