Chapter 80 The village girl who drills into the woods
The inherent information of the past few years has been too deep-rooted. Cui Jie's dislike for Li Qinzai is like an old urine, which is smelly and rancid and does not evaporate easily.
After the Cui family got engaged to the Li family, Cui Jie was originally willing to obey her family's will and marry Li Qinzai.
She is a young lady from an aristocratic family who has been taught the virtues of women for many years. She doesn't have that many genes in her bones that are rebellious and resist feudal marriage. She is very docile most of the time.
It was only during the three years that she stayed at home to honor her mother that Cui Jie was still a little curious about the husband she was about to spend the rest of her life with.
A girl's feelings are always poetry. A cardamom girl's fantasy about her future husband is very three-dimensional and diverse, ranging from his appearance and figure to his clothing taste, and of course, the most important thing is his character.
Cui Jie was born in a noble family. In addition to fantasies, she also had ample conditions to send people to inquire.
After hearing this, Cui Jie's girl's heart suddenly went cold.
Who is the husband her parents betrothed her to?
He has a bad temper, drinks too much, beats others, spends money, and leads a chaotic life. These are just some of the things he is stupid about.
He has almost all the bad qualities of men.
How could Cui Jie not be afraid that such a man would become her future husband? How could she not be disgusted?
Escape from marriage and home does not happen overnight. Some decisions are made after a long period of negative accumulation and painful reflections.
So Cui Jie ran away with Cong Shuang. No matter how many female admonitions she received, she could not convince herself to marry such a bad person.
To be precise, Cui Jie ran away from marriage to save her life and save herself. Taking responsibility for her own life was secondary. She always felt that her life would be hard to save sooner or later after getting married.
To be able to make an unmarried woman make such a rebellious and bold decision shows how bad Li Qinzai's reputation in Chang'an City was back then.
However, she never expected that after going around in circles, Cui Jie not only ended up in the Li family's village by mistake, but she also met the person she had tried so hard to avoid.
What a damn fate this is.
After hearing so many bad comments over the years, Cong Shuang actually said that he compiled "Hundred Family Surnames". How could Cui Jie believe it?
"Congshuang, let's pack our luggage and escape from this Zhuangzi in the afternoon. That evil guy Li Qinzai doesn't know when he will return to Chang'an. The longer we stay, the more likely we will be exposed." Cui Jie said flatly.
Congshuang nodded hurriedly: "Yeah! This place is dangerous, a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It's not advisable to stay for a long time."
Cui Jie took out her shriveled purse, which contained only about twenty cash. This amount of money was enough for their master and servant to walk from Ganjingzhuang to Weinan County.
Let's go to Weinan County first. Now the master and servant are like duckweeds in the water, drifting with the tide. They have no plans for the future, but they are just taking it one step at a time.

Toilet paper needs to be put on the schedule.
As I happened to be in the countryside, paper-making materials were easy to collect.
These days, ordinary people use a toilet chip, which is a piece of bamboo with an oval or slightly pointed end. After using the toilet, they use the toilet chip to scrape and scrape, and then wash it after scraping.
As for wealthy families with spare money, they use paper of very rough quality.
That kind of hemp paper is brittle and rough, and will break with just a little force on your fingers, making it very inconvenient to use.
Daily life, eating, drinking, and eating, everything must be arranged properly. If even the basic needs of life are not convenient, life will be a little less interesting.
Therefore, toilet paper must be arranged.
In my impression, making toilet paper is actually not difficult, much easier than rice paper.
The most important raw material is peeled wood, then add some reeds, rice bark, straw pulp, etc., mix it with water, crush it and then dry it in the sun.
Qiao'er recently found a new partner. During the day, she played with the children in the village. She didn't really need Li Qinzai's company, which just left Li Qinzai some free time.
Just do it if you think of it.
Li Qinzai immediately called Liu Asi and Buqu. Since everyone was idle, why not go up the mountain to cut wood together.
The tribesmen picked up their axes and set off, with Li Qinzai following leisurely behind his hands.
In ancient times, the mountains and forests were dense and there was not much wood. Moreover, most of the villages belonged to the Li family, so it was common for the landlord's son to chop a few logs.
After walking out of the gate of the other courtyard, Liu Asi advised: "Some small things can be handled by a villain with some steps. Why should the fifth young master have to go through this troublesome trip?"
"Oh, it's not hard work. Just take a walk after dinner. Besides, I need to personally check and decide on what kind of trees to cut and how old they are."
Liu Asi smiled and said: "Fifth Young Master has a noble status. It is very tiring to climb mountains and cut trees. I am afraid that Fifth Young Master will not be able to bear it. Just leave this lowly job to us."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "How can logging be a lowly job? Every type of work in the world serves the people and is noble, such as logging, water pipe repairman, a certain group of takeaways, and concierge Uncle Qin... they are all noble.
And a happy job.”
Liu Asi didn't know why, scratched his head, and had no choice but to lead Li Qinzai towards the mountain forest.
Climbing the mountain was really hard, and Li Qinzai regretted it as soon as he climbed halfway up the mountain.
I just want to make a piece of paper to wipe my butt. Why is it so difficult and laborious like Tang Monk’s study of Buddhist scriptures?
Li Qinzai, who was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, sat down on the mountain road and waved his hands feebly: "No, how about we go down the mountain and come back to log wood tomorrow..."
Liu Asi and others were stunned.
We've climbed halfway up the mountain, are you giving up now?
Li Qinzai didn't care. He didn't have any of these valuable qualities, such as perseverance and perseverance.
In his previous life, he was just a social beast, procrastinating and lazily living his life was his character. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry to create a paper to wipe his ass?
Liu Asi's head was full of black lines and he said: "Fifth Young Master, your body... really needs some training."
Li Qinzai gasped and said: "I suddenly felt that you were right just now. A noble person like me is really not suitable for hard work. I was wrong, so I decided to correct it immediately, leave, and go back."
Liu Asi said helplessly: "I will ask one of my subordinates to take you back to the other courtyard. I still want to finish the felling today. I just want to give you some advice on which tree you think should be cut down."
Li Qinzai raised his hand feebly, pointed at a few thick-looking trees at random, and said: "This, this, and that, cut down whichever tree suits your eyes. Okay, I'm leaving..."
"Who, help me go down the mountain. Slow down and don't throw me. Your team is saying that I am a noble person. Do you know how expensive I am? Telling the price will scare you to death..."
Bu Qu was supporting Li Qinzai with a smile and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Liu Asi shouting loudly.
"Why is Fangxiao so sneaky and dares to spy on us! Why don't you reveal yourself quickly!"
After drinking violently, the crowd tensed up and subconsciously dispersed, forming a semicircular formation in an instant. Then they all drew their swords out of their sheaths, pointing directly into the depths of the mountain forest.
Murderous intent soared into the sky. Liu Asi and Bu Qu, who were usually honest and amiable, suddenly changed their temperament at this moment. Everyone was half-bowed and their eyes were fierce, like a group of ferocious wolves ready to fight for their lives against the enemy.
Li Qinzai was stunned. He had never seen this scene in his entire life.
Deep in the dense and dark mountain forest, there was silence for a long time.
Li Qinzai frowned, and he even wondered if it was Liu Asi's hallucination just now.
Liu Asi, however, had no doubts about him at all. Seeing that there was no movement in the forest for a long time, he couldn't help but sneered: "Do the people in the forest think that everything will be fine if they don't make a sound? If you don't come out, don't blame me for rushing in and killing them!"
Finally, there was a rustling sound deep in the forest.
Two pretty figures came out holding each other tremblingly.
Li Qinzai took a closer look, huh? He looked familiar. One of them was actually the little liar who tricked his son into grilling fish a few days ago.
There is another one, well, it looks more familiar, after all, stunning beauties are always unforgettable.
