128 Engagement

Xiuer was almost molested by a big pervert in Taoist robes, so she was so frightened that she stumbled away. Taoist priests in the world are either greedy for money or lustful, they are all perverts!

Zhuang Yuchen looked at the disappearing figure and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He had even taken the charge of being a pervert. He hoped that she could be more careful and stop following him unrepentantly and being tormented again. He had a shadow in his heart.

"Sin" Looking at his hand that had touched her body, Zhuang Yuchen felt inexplicably panicked. He couldn't understand why he had such absurd thoughts when facing her.

No matter what, he finally scared her away. Zhuang Yuchen shook his head and walked towards the mountain road.

The sky was overcast and getting colder. There was a freezing rain in the evening, and the biting cold wind poured into the dilapidated house. Zhuang Yuchen added some firewood to the fire, and used branches to stir up the fire to make the fire burn brighter.

to ward off the cold

He took the dry food from the bag and had just eaten two mouthfuls. His brows were furrowed and he said, "Come in." He didn't know what sin he had done to make her linger.

Outside the dilapidated eaves, a figure like a drowned rat crouched in the corner. The biting rain mixed with the cold wind hit the body like a knife. Hearing the sound inside the house, it was like a death row prisoner on the guillotine was suddenly struck.

Amnesty to the world, she used all her strength to stand up and walked towards the house tremblingly.

She squatted tremblingly on the other side of the fire, the warm flames shining on her purple and stiff face. Zhuang Yuchen looked at the wet figure with a headache, "I'm not interested in you, you can come closer." He was halfway away from the fire.

Zhangyuan is not afraid of freezing to death. He admires her very much. She is afraid that he will molest her, but she still insists on following her desperately. If he lets her stay in the rain for another half an hour, she will probably die.

It belongs to King Yama

Xiu'er moved in front of the fire, stretched out her hand to the edge of the fire to warm it, and said with her lips and teeth: "Thank you." With her hands that were red, swollen and purple from the cold, she trembled to wring the water from her clothes, and then took it out of her pocket.

Take out two steamed buns soaked in water and bake them on the fire

Zhuang Yuchen handed over his dry food, "I can't eat the steamed buns, so I'll make do with this first."

"Thank you" walks the line between life and death. Xiu'er did not pretend to be aloof. After saying thank you, she directly opened the bag of dry food and started eating slowly. The most important thing now is to fill her stomach so that she has the strength to continue dealing with her.

Zhuang Yuchen threw a water bag over, and Xiu'er pulled out the stopper with difficulty, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, "Cough...cough..." and coughed uncomfortably.

Xiu'er quickly spit out the spicy liquid in her mouth. She thought it was water, but it turned out to be wine.

Zhuang Yuchen said coldly: "It's so cold, drinking some wine will be good for you."

"It's so spicy." Xiu'er quietly stuck out her tongue.

"You haven't drunk it?"

Xiu'er nodded and choked on the spicy wine. Her cold body seemed to have warmed up a little. She curiously picked up the wine bag and took a sip of the strong wine and poured it into her stomach. It was as spicy as fire and warmed her from the inside out.

He pursed his lips and took another sip...

"Be careful of getting drunk," Zhuang Yuchen reminded kindly.

Xiu'er quickly returned the wine bag to him. She wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you."

After drinking the wine, her body warmed up and she became bolder. Xiu'er continued to move to the fire, wishing she could plunge into the fire to dry her clothes. She looked up at Zhuang Yuchen on the other side of the fire, "

Did you mean to scare me about what happened this morning?" She was just a pig, so she was fooled by him.

Dusk was approaching outside, but the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. He thought he would have to spend the night in a shabby house tonight. Zhuang Yuchen took out a piece of clothing from his bag and threw it towards Xiu'er, "I'll lend it to you, don't make it dirty."

The sky-blue Taoist robe was thrown on Xiu'er, with a clean and refreshing smell. She suddenly felt grateful. If it hadn't been for the zongzi, he wouldn't be a bad person. She looked at him and saw that he was lying on his side beside the fire.

, close your eyes and sleep

Afraid of soiling his Taoist robe, Xiu'er deliberately made a piece of ground beside the fire with her hands. She lay on her side and covered her body with the Taoist robe. She was so tired. She hadn't had a good sleep for several days. Zhuang Yuchen suddenly acted uncharacteristically.

She is so nice, what is her intention? Could it be that she is waiting for her to fall asleep so that he can escape?

Thinking of this, Xiu'er didn't dare to sleep anymore. She glanced at Zhuang Yuchen from time to time. She was not afraid of him giving him a cold look, but she was afraid of him running away alone.

"Hurry up and go to bed, I have to be on my way early tomorrow morning." Zhuang Yuchen, who was sleeping on the other side of the fire, suddenly said something

Xiu'er was startled, "You haven't slept yet?"

"You are moving around and disturbing me."

"What do you mean by leaving early tomorrow morning?" Xiu'er asked tentatively, "Are you planning to accept me as your disciple?"

"My decision will not change"

Just when she saw a glimmer of hope, she was beaten by Zhuang Yuchen, and Xiu'er was immediately thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, "Then why are you?"

"I remember you said that you have no relatives in the world?"

Xiu'er felt heavy, "Yeah"

"I can't take you back to Maoshan, but I can take you home." This is his biggest concession.

"Take me home?" Xiu'er said cautiously, "What do you want to do?" What is his purpose for her?

"Miss Zhu!" Zhuang Yuchen was speechless and emphasized again: "I have no wrong thoughts about you."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I am an only child. I am away from home all year round. There is no one to take care of my parents. It must be very difficult for you to live alone in this world. If you don't mind, you can live in my house first. It will give you a place to stay. You don't have to worry.

"My parents are very good people. Not only will you be well taken care of by them, they will also find you a good marriage in the future. In short, they will not treat you badly."

Xiu'er just found it incredible what Zhou Yuchen was thinking. She wanted to go to Maoshan, but she didn't want to go home with him. However, she had to eat in one breath and walk step by step. It was rare that he changed his mind and was willing to take her in, so she followed him to contact him first.

Love, if she seizes the opportunity in the future, maybe he will take her to Maoshan, and then she will take the opportunity to rescue Zongzi and go to find her third brother together.

"Thank you" people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads

"You agreed?"

"Yeah." He had made up his mind, and Xiu'er took the opportunity to get closer to him, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

What's your surname? Zhuang Yuchen's face was full of black lines. She turned against him like turning over a book. She even said dirty words to him in the morning. Now that she learned that she was taken in, her tone immediately changed to respect.

The "Zhuang" woman is really a fickle and unknown creature.

"Brother Zhuang," Xiu'er immediately changed her tune, "Can I call you that?"

Zhuang Yuchen's face was full of black lines, "Didn't you already scream?"

"Haha..." Xiu'er giggled, "I don't know Brother Zhuang's name yet."

"Zhuang Yuchen"

"Zhuang Yuchen?" Xiu'er suddenly sat up, "Is your name Zhuang Yuchen?"

Zhuang Yuchen asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" What a fuss

"No...it's okay." Xiu'er smiled awkwardly. After a while, she lay down quietly on the ground to sleep. It's just the same name. The world is so big. There are thousands of women named Xiu'er. She is in the Zhu family.

I met several people in the town, and one of them had the same name and the same sex. An Xiuer said that that person fell from a tree a few years ago. Not only did he break his brain, it is said that he even broke his leg. The village in front of him

Yu Chen has good hands and feet, but his personality is completely different from that person's. He is as cold as ice. She is overthinking everything.

"Where are you from?" Xiu'er asked inexplicably.

"Hongshu Village, Yilu County"

"Mangrove Village?" Xiu'er, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up again and looked at Zhuang Yuchen in surprise.

"..." I don't know what's wrong with her. Zhuang Yuchen glanced at her coldly, turned his back to her, and if he continued to be startled by her, sooner or later something would happen to him.

Xiu'er sat in astonishment in front of the extinguished fire, looking at the blurry back in the darkness, unable to relax for a long time.

Because of Tie Banxian's words, Xiu'er has been looked down upon by the people in the village since she was born. She has been ridiculed, beaten, cursed and ridiculed. She has no friends or playmates. Everyone thinks that she is the reincarnation of an evildoer who has come to harm the village.

At that time, all the villagers were interested in betrothals or weddings, but the An family was too poor. Su Huiru was pregnant with four children but could not find anyone to marry with her fingers. In addition, with Xiu'er's background, she was afraid of disaster.

As for my own family, no one in the ten-mile radius is willing to get engaged to Xiuer, which worries everyone in the An family.

An Dalang went around asking people to find connections, and wanted to find a husband for Xiu'er. He hoped that the happy event could drive away the bad luck and evil spirits from Xiu'er. After nine years of searching, he finally found the rightful owner Hong.

Zhuang Danian from Shucun once picked up goods and went to the town to sell at the market. Unexpectedly, he was bitten by a poisonous snake and fainted on the roadside. He was saved by An Dalang who happened to pass by. The two became brothers.

Zhuang Danian has a son, who is two years older than Xiu'er. He has been smart since he was a child. He can recite poems at the age of three and can write lyrics at the age of five. He is a well-known child prodigy. A few years ago, An Dalang asked the matchmaker to come to him in private.

Regarding the marriage, she didn’t want to be beaten up by Mr. Zhuang with a broom, and she yelled at the evildoers in the An family to stop harming her son.

In order to repay his life-saving grace, Zhuang Danian prepared a generous gift to express his gratitude to Andalang. Andalang suddenly had a sudden change of mind. Instead of confiscating his gift of thanks, he brought up the matter of getting married between two families, saying that it was destined by God to exchange lives for one's life.

As fate would have it, today we are going to kiss each other. Zhuang Danian has the same temperament as Su Huiru. He doesn't believe in feudal superstition at all. On the contrary, it was the Zhuang family who made a big fuss, saying that the An family was not well-intentioned and Zhuang Danian spent a lot of money.

Kung Fu finally convinced his wife and let the two families get engaged.

On the day of the engagement, Xiu'er saw Zhuang Danian's son for the first time. He was a boy with a bright and lively smile. He was handsome and had a sweet mouth.

She was still quite shy, but in his bright and enthusiastic smile, she slowly smiled despite her timidity.

He held her hand, secretly ran to the stream to play and catch fish, and tied a grasshopper for her with reed leaves. Xiuer smiled brightly. He was as good a person as his brothers, and he would definitely treat her well in the future.

She is very content to live her whole life with him like this.

When the ceremony was being made, he took her hand and knelt in front of both parents, their eyes met and they smiled. Although Zhuang's face was very ugly, Xiu'er's happy smile could not be concealed by the sound of firecrackers.

I kowtowed to the elder three times with him, and the engagement was completed. The banker gave me a cheap jade pendant that can be bought at any time in the market, as a token of love to the woman.

Before the banker left, he secretly stuffed something into her and said confidently: "Don't worry, Xiu'er, when I'm the top scholar in high school, I will marry you home in style and be my top pick's wife."

"I don't want to be the No. 1 scholar's wife, I just want to be your wife." Xiu'er lowered her head, her face flushed, and she was too embarrassed to look at him again.

"Okay, I will marry you home as soon as possible"

"Yeah" Xiu'er said like a mosquito, "I...wait for you"

Under the repeated urging of the banker's parents, he left. Xiu'er rushed back to the room with a blushing face. With a scalding face, she took out the gift he had given her, a piece of walnut with a famous scholar carved on it, and rode a donkey to Beijing overnight to take the exam.

, turning over the other side of the walnut, there is a lively scene of high school students congratulating each other.

Xiu'er couldn't help but laugh. He is a well-known prodigy. With his talent, he will definitely achieve great things in the future. It is only a matter of time before he becomes famous.

That night, An Jiale was shaken. Xiu'er's marriage was finally settled. They all believed that Xiu'er would get rid of the bad luck of the evildoer's reincarnation by getting engaged. But who knew that just after the engagement, a lot of bad luck would happen to the banker one after another.

Later, Zhuang's only son fell from a tree and broke his brain and leg. Zhuang took a kitchen knife and rushed to An's house to make a fuss, saying that An Xiuer had transferred bad luck to Zhuang and wanted to break off the engagement!

The Zhuang family had been having troubles for several years. Due to Zhuang Danian's persistence, the marriage was not broken up in the end. Later, the An family encountered a series of changes. The family was ruined and they wandered away from home.

The place that once gave her nightmares, Xiu'er felt that she would never set foot in it again in this life, and her early marriage with the banker would disappear as she left. But she never thought that Zhuang Yu, who had a zombie-killing grudge against her, would

Chen, turned out to be the person she was destined to be.

For a moment, Xiu'er had mixed feelings and didn't know how to face Zhuang Yuchen.

She lay back quietly on the ground, the remaining warmth of the fire came through, but it could not warm her heart. For a moment, she couldn't accept Zhuang Yuchen, couldn't believe that the cold-blooded Taoist priest sleeping opposite her had parents with her.

The man who was told to be a matchmaker and had the hand to hold on to his son surrendered and never left us.

No matter whether she has changed or he has changed, the two strangers will never regain the innocence and enthusiasm of the past.

In the life she imagined, there was an eldest brother, a third brother, and Zongzi, but there was no Zhuang Jia or Zhuang Yuchen. But why did he suddenly appear in her life?
