"Xiu'er?" Zhuang Danian looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in surprise, and saw that her eyebrows looked a bit like Su Huiru's, "Oh my god, it's really Xiu'er."
He pulled her over excitedly, grinning from ear to ear with joy, "Great, Yuchen has finally found you, old woman, look who's coming."
"What are you yelling about?" It was noon, Mr. Zhuang was cooking in the kitchen, and he heard Mr. Zhuang yelling outside, so he put down the spatula and walked out to see Zhuang Yuchen. Mr. Zhuang was immediately happy.
"I heard that magpies have been chirping in the treetops this morning. It turns out that my son is back."
"Mother" Zhuang Yuchen smiled and stood in front of Mr. Zhuang, "I went down the mountain to carry out my mission. I made a special detour to come back to see you."
"You brat, thank you for remembering me and dad, we haven't been home for so long." Mr. Zhuang laughed happily, "You have lost weight. The food on the mountain is very poor. This girl is..." Could it be that her son brought her back?
Daughter-in-law? She’s so beautiful and dewy!
"It's Xiu'er," Zhuang Danian said happily, "Come on, come on, Xiu'er, this is your Aunt Zhuang."
"Xiu'er?" The smile on Aunt Zhuang's face suddenly froze.
"Why is it you?" Mr. Zhuang's face turned cold instantly, "Didn't you leave a few years ago? Why are you back again?"
"I brought Xiu'er back." Zhuang Yuchen stood in front of her and explained to Mrs. Zhuang, "I met Xiu'er outside, so we went home together. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"It's fate. Yu Chen has been looking for Xiu'er for several years, and finally found her as expected." Zhuang Danian winked at his wife desperately, asking her to say less. He turned around and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, don't stand there.
, sit inside the house”
"Let's go, let's talk about dinner later." Zhuang Yuchen took Xiu'er and walked into the house.
Zhuang Danian lowered his voice and said to his wife: "What are you doing? Yu Chen finally came back. Who can show you your stinky face?"
"I'm definitely happy that my son is back." Zhuang was furious, "But why is that broom star coming back with you?"
"What are you talking about!" Zhuang Danian lowered his face, "The children are watching, and we have already made an engagement. Regardless of whether you agree with it or not, in short, my son and I have no objections. Don't be so arrogant.
My son has been desperately looking for her in the past few years, and he even became a Taoist priest for her. You don't know that."
"I know, I know." Mr. Zhuang glared at Lao Zhuang depressedly, "I know everything, that's why I'm angry. If it weren't for her, my son would have been the top scholar in high school. How could he be a Taoist priest?" Ever since he knew that the broom star's family was bitten by zombies.
After that, he just followed the Taoist priest from Maoshan.
"Speak more quietly," Zhuang Danian said anxiously, "If you don't speak, no one will say you are mute."
Mr. Zhuang gave him a look, "Anyway, I just have this old face. Do you like it or not?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was awkward
Ever since Xiu'er came in, Mr. Zhuang had always had a cold face. He was so unlucky with chopsticks when eating that he almost broke his bowl.
Zhuang Danian chuckled, "Xiu'er, eat, eat more."
Xiu'er said politely: "Thank you, Uncle Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang."
After a meal, Xiu'er tasted like chewing wax and felt like sitting on pins and needles, but Zhuang Yuchen felt at ease. He put vegetables into Zhuang's bowl and said, "Mom, clean up a room for Xiu'er. She will live in our house from now on."
"Clean up the room?" Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes in surprise.
"Well, isn't the room next to mine empty?" Zhuang Yuchen stopped the chopsticks in his hand, "Mom, do you agree? If you don't agree, I will clean it up myself later."
"I know." Mrs. Zhuang glared at her son with itching teeth, "I'll clean up after dinner, that's all, ancestor!" He is her precious son, how could she let him lift a finger?
Zhuang Yuchen smiled, "Thank you, mother."
After dinner, Xiu'er took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Zhuang Yuchen followed Zhuang to clean the room. I don't know what method he used. Although Zhuang still had a cold face, his words became much more restrained and he was no longer so harsh.
Xiu'er settled down at the Zhuang's house and helped Aunt Zhuang wash clothes and cook. Zhuang Danian and his son went to the fields to cut cabbage. When Zhuang Yuchen returned home, he seemed to have taken off his cold and arrogant mask, and went to work in the fields wearing coarse clothes, smiling all the time.
on the face
Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang are famous for their hard work. They planted several Chinese cabbages in the fields, and the mountains were covered with red apples. During the harvest season, they were naturally very busy. Zhuang Yuchen rolled up his sleeves and worked in the fields, embroidering
My son also helped with the work. She was very strong and diligent, which was comforting to Mr. Zhuang.
Alas, the son has no control over his mother. He is determined to marry An Xiu'er, and she can only turn a blind eye. To be fair, apart from An Xiu'er's identity, she is handsome, has a gentle temper, and is not easy to eat or lazy.
, she is quite satisfied with such a daughter-in-law.
Xiu'er was standing under the tree picking apples. When she saw Zhuang Yuchen with his sleeves rolled up and several hideous scars on his arms, he couldn't help but curious: "Where did you get these wounds?"
"Caught by monsters," Zhuang Yu said calmly and put the apples in his hands into the basket.
"What monster?" I don't know what kind of powerful monster it is, but it can actually scratch him with scars.
“Too many, can’t remember clearly”
Xiu'er was startled and couldn't help but look at Zhuang Yuchen again. She was a little curious, what kind of person was he?
How is a Taoist priest made? His two arms are already scarred. What kind of monster has he caught in his life, and how many times has he escaped death?
"What's wrong?" Seeing her staring at her arm, "If you think it's ugly, I'll just find a way to remove the scar." After saying that, he put down his sleeves to cover the scars on his arms. The girl loves beauty, and he can understand.
Follow it as smoothly as possible
"Then why didn't you remove the scar before?" Xiu'er was still frightened, "It looks scary. Fortunately, it didn't hurt your face, otherwise..." She couldn't help but shudder just thinking about it.
"I used to think it didn't matter if I lived alone, but having scars can always remind me that monsters are evil in nature. Sometimes being soft-hearted will only lead to a worse end." Zhuang Yuchen showed a vague smile, "Not now.
Same, if you find it ugly, I will remove it, so I can’t scare you anymore.”
Xiu'er's face burned, and she turned around and continued picking apples, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Xiu'er" Zhuang Yuochen stopped his hand movements
"Huh?" He rarely called her name, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered because she couldn't get used to it.
"What do you think of a day when the sun rises and sets and rests?"
"Very good", living a life without disaster, but can she go back? If zombies had not appeared, she might have lived like this with him. Now the whereabouts of the third brother are unknown, and Zongzi has been captured.
Maoshan, can she live a stable life as a peasant woman?
Zhuang Yuchen sat on the ground, took an apple, wiped it clean, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "I have been thinking about it these days, after I deal with the matter of the female slave, I can return to ordinary life and become an ordinary farmer. When I am busy, I will
There’s nothing wrong with working and making tea in your spare time so you can spend your whole life with your wife and children. Are you willing?”
"Ah..." Xiu'er snorted, "Don't you plan to spend your life slaying demons?"
"That's what I thought when I didn't find you. It's good to live a life of freedom without worries." Zhuang Yuchen handed an apple to Xiu'er and motioned for her to sit aside, "It's different now. I
I found you and went home this time. I saw that my parents were much older, and I felt very uncomfortable thinking about how they lived in fear every day, fearing that one day I would be eaten by monsters."
"But doesn't the female demon appear and disappear? What if she never appears? Then don't you have to be a Taoist priest forever?"
Zhuang Yuchen looked at Xiu'er, "So I want to ask you, what are your plans?"
"I..." Xiu'er lowered his head, "I don't know either."
"Still thinking about your third brother and Hanbao?"
Xiu'er nodded, "I'm sorry." She knew that after learning that she was his fiancée, he began to put her in his heart, but she... she would never be able to be like him until she dealt with the two urgent matters...
…
"I want to ask one thing," Zhuang Yuchen said with a serious expression: "Do you and Hanba have any feelings that shouldn't be there?" Just like the dog demon has with An Yuwen, there is a bond that shouldn't be there.
"No, no, no..." Xiu'er shook her head desperately, "It's not what you think."
"Then why is it so strange between you two? He seems to listen to you."
"I was the one who took him out of the ancient tomb, and I'm the daughter of the Four Yins. It's normal for zombies to like to stay with me. I was quite afraid of him at first, but he saved me a few times, and we slowly
He'll get used to it slowly, but it's not what you think. I regard him as my younger brother and promised to take care of him."
"What do you think about the relationship between you and me?"
Xiu'er's heart skipped a beat again, and after a while she had to brace herself and said: "I don't have any objection to my parents' decision to marry a matchmaker. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Besides, a lot of things have happened in the past few years. Can the marriage be a good thing?"
Can't...after a while?" The eldest brother mentioned to him that he wanted to get married as soon as possible, but he didn't object, so he agreed to it.
She was afraid, afraid that he would really marry her, afraid that she would regret the marriage if she couldn't help it!
"My parents told me about getting married last night, but since you don't agree now, let's talk about it later." He had already guessed the answer, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard her say it himself.
One year, I will give you one year, and by then, if you except the female slave, we will get married."
Zhuang Yuchen gave her one year. Xiu'er couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little confused, "What if she wasn't eliminated?"
"Then I would have died in her hands," Zhuang Yuchen laughed, "You don't have to stay widowed because of me and find an ordinary person to marry."
"The Maoshan sect is so powerful, how could it not be able to defeat the female tycoon?" Listening to his cool words, Xiu'er felt quite uncomfortable. "Don't think too much." In both emotions and reasons, she should be thinking about defeating the female tycoon.
It's him
"Follow me to Maoshan," Zhuang Yuchen suddenly said.
Xiu'er looked at him in surprise, knowing that he would never agree to her going to Maoshan before. She was worried that she couldn't find a reason, but he spoke.
"Instead of leaving you here to endure rumors, I would rather take you away. After we go to Maoshan, we will spend more time together, and naturally we will no longer be strangers." After returning to the village for a few days, some villagers have approached my parents and asked them.
Xiu'er is not allowed to stay in the village. What's more, even the village chief has come forward. He underestimated the villagers' ability to stir up trouble and left her here alone. If something trivial happened in the village, Xiu'er might be just like before.
The man was caught, immersed in a pig cage and drowned in the river
Before leaving the village with her third brother, she had made an agreement with the village chief that she would never set foot in the village again before leaving home for three years. Especially during the Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, she couldn't help but want to pay homage to her deceased relatives.
The night before going to Maoshan, Xiuer quietly got up and wanted to go to worship secretly. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuang took a pillow and wanted to sleep with her, so she had to give up.
"Xiu'er, we women have a hard life. We have to live by one man all our lives. As long as the man is good, we will be fine. If the man is not good, we have to admit that he is careless and doesn't know how to take care of himself. You go here if you are hungry and have a cold meal.
We need to take more care of you from now on, and be careful when buying clothes and food. Lao Zhuang and I originally thought about getting you married before leaving. After all, at our age, we don’t have extravagant hopes for anything else. We just want to hug you.
In addition to taking care of your grandson, you also need to advise him not to do anything dangerous, even if it means risking his own life. You should be gentle and considerate, and pay more attention to his body and mind. With you in his heart, he will do things naturally.
I have no worries and won’t be reckless anymore.”
One night, Mrs. Zhuang told Xiu'er her request. Xiu'er listened attentively and responded to everything one by one.
Early the next morning, Xiuer followed Zhuang Yuchen and left Mangrove Village.
As she walked, Xiu'er felt something was wrong. This road seemed to lead to her village. She asked doubtfully: "Are you going the wrong way?"
Zhuang Yuchen said calmly: "It's rare to come back, so I have to pay homage to your parents' graves."
A warm current surged up in Xiu'er's heart. She didn't expect that he would take her concerns into consideration.
"But, I'm afraid they won't let me enter the village."
"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
Xiu'er was startled, her hands holding the bag tightened, and she didn't say anything serious. She was very grateful to him. He only protected himself in front of his family. Seeing that she didn't want to get married, he gave in and gave them a year to let each other.
Get along well, and now take her to fulfill the humblest wish
Alas, Xiu'er warned herself in her heart, just let nature take its course and don't deliberately reject him anymore. After all, he is her fiancé.
When we got to the village, I don’t know if the news had been leaked. A group of dark people had gathered at the entrance of the village. They were holding hoes, shovels and sticks, and they were trying to stop Xiuer from entering the village.
