Just like last time, they tied their horses outside the village. Looking up at the sky, the night was dark and terrifying, but the village was extremely lively. Logically speaking, they should hide at home and dare not go out in this situation.
What seems normal is more unusual.
That would be enough, but the village was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, as if a great event had happened.
The ancient well outside the village still stood there, and an old man with a haggard body and a haggard face was sitting under the tree to enjoy the cool air. The villagers were either carrying hoes or carrying firewood and were sweating profusely from the west. They saw these living creatures.
People are sometimes a little surprised.
Someone recognized Su Zhen and Shang Jingyao with sharp eyes and came up to say hello warmly.
"Su Shaoqing! Miss Jing'er!"
The strong man who spoke first was dark-skinned and covered with sweat. He was carrying a sack on his right shoulder and holding a five- or six-year-old child in his left hand. He had bright eyes and tilted his head to look at them, licking them with his dexterous tongue.
He licked his fingers and smiled shyly when he saw them looking over.
"Hello, uncle." Shang Jingyao smiled and waved, then knelt down and pinched the child's chubby cheeks, loving it.
"Miss Jing'er, you came to Huanyu Mountain again, but what happened?"
"It's okay, don't think too much about it. Brother He Lan gave us a lot of sweet cookies when we came here last time. This time we just want to ask for some more to try."
It was okay if Shang Jingyao didn't say anything. When he mentioned He Lan, Su Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up. She turned to the old man under the tree and remembered that he once said that the person who saved Yue Xian'er back then... seemed to be...
He Lan! But she remembered that He Lan didn't know anything about Xi Yan and the other three.
"Hahaha! Girl, you are really good at joking. It's just some coarse grain pancakes. You two are the great benefactors of our village. An adult named Yu has been here several times in the past two days, and he also arrested the Huang family.
They left. I heard that they seem to be colluding with corrupt officials. This is a huge happy event."
The strong man stroked his thick stubble, grinning from ear to ear with joy. The child he was holding let go of his hand, and took Shang Jingyao to Su Zhen. He held the corner of her clothes and shook her gently, his eyes
The innocence in her heart made Su Zhen's heart soften.
"Sister! Tong'er likes you!"
As soon as the child said this, everyone was stunned. The strong man shouted in embarrassment, "Tong'er! Come back quickly, don't be rude to Su Shaoqing."
"No! Daddy! This sister is so beautiful!"
Xiao Chuhong coughed dryly, and pulled Su Zhen to his side with a sour taste. The hem of his clothes was separated from the hands of the child named Tong'er. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and began to sob quietly.
The strong man apologized hurriedly, "Su Shaoqing, don't mind. I am a villain who cannot teach me well."
Su Zhen touched her cheek, "It's okay, don't worry too much, the child is still young. It's better to be praised for being beautiful than to be criticized for being ugly, don't you think so?"
He knelt down and picked up Tong'er, let him sit on his arms, and said with a patient smile, "You are a little man, how can you cry? Your name is Tong'er, and my name is Zhen'er. Let's
It’s considered fate, but Tong’er can’t call me sister, I should call me brother!”
"elder brother?"
"yes!"
Tong'er stretched out his hand and scratched Su Zhen's face a few times, leaving a few dirty black marks immediately. Su Zhen rubbed the two corner buns on his head without paying much attention.
"Tonger, be good. Brother, I still have something to do. Go home with your father quickly. Your mother must be waiting impatiently."
"Brother Zhen'er, will you come again in the future?" Tong'er said reluctantly.
"Of course I'll come!"
Xiao Chuhong watched Tong'er Keer vigorously tossing in Su Zhen's arms, feeling sour in his heart.
Returning Tong'er to the strong man, he smiled honestly and shyly, "Tong'er is ignorant and ignorant. Thank you, Shaoqing, for your understanding."
Su Zhen shook her head, cupped her hands and said, "Then let's say goodbye first."
"Okay! Shaoqing, go slowly!"
Su Zhen nodded and left first, followed by the others.
Before entering the village, Su Zhen came to the tree again. The old man was still enjoying the cool air under the yellowed bamboo and rattan chair, waving the cattail leaf fan gently in his hand.
Hearing chaotic footsteps approaching, he opened his cloudy eyes and his voice was unclear.
"Sir, girl, you are here again!"
"Old man, we are here to ask you for advice about Yue Xian'er, Miss Yue."
"Xian'er? Xian'er girl is already married. What's there to say?"
Marry?! Not only Su Zhen was stunned, but others were also stunned.
"Old man, think about it again. Last time you clearly said that Mr. He Lanhe rescued a girl a few years ago. That girl's name was Yue Xian'er. Later, she was robbed by horse thieves and taken to the mountain."
"Hey, from what you said, it seems that there is such a thing. She and Xiao He treat each other as guests, and he even gave me some clothes the day before yesterday."
"Husband and wife? But Brother He obviously didn't look like we were married when we came here last time! You also said that Miss Yue has never come back!"
"Although the old man is dim-sighted, he is not an old fool, let alone insane. He and his wife have been married for many years. Xian'er girl had a hard life. She was kidnapped and went up the mountain. Thanks to Xiao He, the reporter, she went up the mountain with the officers and soldiers.
After rescuing the person, a good marriage was achieved."
Mo Chen muttered behind Su Zhen, "Sir, why is this so different from what you said?"
"I don't understand what's going on either."
Su Zhen thought in her heart, could it be that she and Xiao Chuhong were sent back thirteen years, which really changed Yue Xian'er's fate? But this is not right. If the mute slave in the palace was not Yue Xian'er, she
Who is it?
Turning her head to look at Shang Jingyao, she looked as usual, nothing unusual could be seen at all.
"Old man, why didn't we see the Yue girl last time we came here?"
"Girl Yue is very beautiful. When Huang Yi bumped into her one time, he started to possess her. A few days ago, Xiao He sent her away overnight. Otherwise, Huang Yi wouldn't have targeted him like this. It's a big thank you.
He is afraid of his father, so he doesn't dare to be too blatant."
Su Zhen was dumbfounded, bowed her head and thanked her, and hurried towards He Lan's home.
"Eh? Young Master? Wait for us."
After Mo Sheng and Mo Shen also left, Shang Jingyao and Xiao Chuhong walked side by side without any hurry. She turned her head and said provocatively, "General Xiao, I'm afraid you are going to lose?"
Xiao Chuhong smiled disdainfully, "Losing? He has never been a bet between you and me. If he chooses you to become Luo Qi's consort, I will still treat him thousands of times better and make him change his mind. If he refuses, I will
Forcibly snatch him back to the General's Mansion! What's more, he also has me in his heart and has no love for you."
"General, you are so confident." Shang Jingyao said in a meaningful tone.
"The princess may not understand that there is a kind of love that has nothing to do with men and women, it is just what the heart desires."
Xiao Chuhong reached out and brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe, strode away with a smile on his face.
There was no unwillingness or anger in Shang Jingyao's eyes, and Xiao Chuhong was so confident that she was afraid that she would be even worse. This chapter has been completed!
