When Zhang Cong saw Xiaohua's reaction, he immediately understood that the Liu family really dared to find another man for Xiaohua, which made Zhang Cong's anger suddenly rise.
When Xiaohua saw Zhang Cong's expression, she immediately understood what he was thinking, and quickly took his hand and said:
"Brother Cong, don't take it to heart. My aunt probably thought you wouldn't come to me again, so she introduced me to other men, but my mother and I never agreed.
I have already decided in my heart that even if you die, I will remain single for the rest of my life and remain a widow for you. If my mother also passes away, I would rather die than let the Liu family marry me to another man."
Zhang Cong listened to Xiaohua's decisive words, grabbed Xiaohua's hand, and didn't say anything for a long time. He knew that Xiaohua and her daughter had been living a homeless life since he hurt Wang Qianye.
Even the servants were inferior, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the two women even more deeply.
At this time, Aunt Cuihua's food was ready. Xiaohua stood up and helped bring the food to the table. While the three of them were eating, Aunt Cuihua said:
"Zhang Cong, you really don't need to take it to heart. I know very well what the Liu family plans. I have experienced this before, my aunt. Our Liu family says it has some respect in Panlong Town, but in fact, compared with the real big family, it is far behind.
That's why I wanted to marry the eldest son of the Guan family in the first place, just because I took a fancy to the Guan family's power in the royal city.
The uncle of the Guan family is a great commander in the royal city. He promised at that time that Zhentian would join the army after I got married. With Zhentian’s skills and the connections of the Guan family, he would probably make a difference in the army soon, but I didn’t.
Her heart was all about Little Flower Daddy, so of course she would not agree to the marriage, and later she eloped with Little Flower Daddy.
The Guan family had lost face in Panlong Town at that time. They immediately stripped Zhentian of his military status and suppressed the Liu family for a long time. My father died of an illness because of this incident, so Zhentian and his wife have always treated me with contempt.
It's understandable if there is resentment.
This time we, mother and son, were desperate, so we hid in Panlong Town. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yulan’s idea came to Xiaohua’s head again. When my aunt could elope for true love, how could she force her daughter to give up her life? Find something you simply can’t do
Don’t worry, Xiaohua will not betray you, and Auntie will not use the Liu family’s ideas."
Zhang Cong nodded and said nothing, but his expression became better. Xiaohua said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Cong, don't hold too much grudge against the Liu family and his daughter. After we get married, they will also be your uncle and sister. Although their
It’s not the right thing to do, but after all, we are all relatives? It will be difficult for my mother to do it if there is a fight."
Zhang Cong smiled and said: "I know, the three of us are monks now, so there is no need to pay attention to all the things in the mortal world. As long as the Liu family does not challenge my bottom line, of course I can live in peace, at least in terms of face.
But let me make it clear first. Auntie and Xiaohua must not expose their identities as monks, and they must not use their medical skills and skills to help the Liu family with medical treatment or other things. Monks also have monks' rules, not to mention that exposing their identities too early will cause big trouble.
of."
Aunt Cuihua and Xiaohua nodded. The three of them stopped talking and ate their meals with peace of mind. Soon the atmosphere became peaceful again.
After dinner, Zhang Cong said to his wife: "I will get some spiritual fruits later so that you can absorb spiritual power and expand the divine palace. Tomorrow we will go into the mountains to learn about swordsmanship and hidden weapons. We will go out a lot recently. Don't tell the Liu family."
He stopped talking and said we were going out to do medicine business."
Xiaohua, mother and daughter nodded, drank tea for a while, and then went back to the upper room to practice.
This time Zhang Cong brought out a large amount of mulberry spiritual fruits. Although they did not contain as much spiritual power as high-end spiritual fruits, they were easier for Xiaohua and the two of them to adapt to and absorb slowly. Zhang Cong saw that the two of them were gradually getting familiar with the spiritual energy entering the sea, so he got up and went out.
Start setting up some traps around and in the yard.
Not afraid of thieves, Zhang Cong cannot always stay with Xiaohua and her daughter. If he is not at home and an enemy attacks, Xiaohua and her daughter's experience and vigilance in dealing with enemies are not enough to reassure him, so they take some precautions.
It is still necessary, and he has a lot of hidden weapons in his hands, so it would be best to set up traps.
After setting up several defense mechanisms, Zhang Cong sat by the old well and began to practice Qi cultivation. After absorbing the spirit-gathering branches on their own, his sea of consciousness was almost always full. The Dao Dao Sword had been soaked in the spiritual liquid, and it had become
Among the seven or eight repairs, the yellow pearl fruit had not moved, which made Zhang Cong feel very strange.
Zhang Cong's current meditation mainly involves meditating on the sword pose. Although he has learned the third pose, his understanding of the sword pose is still somewhat unclear without actual combat. Meditation will be somewhat helpful.
The night passed in a short time. When the rooster crowed and the sky turned bright, Xiaohua and her daughter walked out of the room. Zhang Cong found that the sea of consciousness between the two of them was indeed much fuller and they were more energetic.
Zhang Cong and the others took advantage of the fact that there were still few people in the town, so they went out and walked into the mountains outside the town. The direction they went towards was the mountains to the north of the town, which was the mountains that Zhang Cong walked through when he came.
After the three of them entered the mountain, they speeded up and soon reached the depths of the mountain. Zhang Cong asked the two of them to take out their swords and carefully instructed them on their swordsmanship. Although the swordsmanship learned by Xiaohua and her daughter was a little mediocre, after Zhang Cong's guidance, they actually
Turning decay into magic, the sword technique has been improved into an erratic, unpredictable and strange sword formation.
Watching the two of them gradually become proficient in their weird body movements and extremely fast sword moves, Zhang Cong himself used the Dao Dao Sword and began to practice the third posture of Dao Dao. It was like swinging a sword to lift a thousand mountains, and the sword marks were scratched.
The place and space seemed to be collapsing. Although the sword moves looked slow and clumsy, they caused large areas of space to twist and deform. Even the light was absorbed by the thick sword moves, making the sky darken.
It seems to be a simple swing and release, but in fact each sword inside is made up of thousands of fast sword moves. Because the sword moves are too fast, outsiders see it as a slow swing of the sword. Xiaohua and Aunt Cuihua were...
Attracted by this space-distorting sword move, I stopped to watch and saw Zhang Cong slowly swinging his sword. Not only did the rocks under his feet crack and sink, but Zhang Cong's face was also dripping with sweat. I couldn't help but be surprised.
Xiaohua asked in a low voice: "Mom, look at Zhang Cong's every sword move as if it were a thousand-pound sword. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Could it be that this sword really weighs a thousand catties?"
Aunt Cuihua shook her head: "Isn't that right? Although this sword looks shining, it doesn't weigh a thousand pounds. Maybe he is practicing some kind of superb swordsmanship. Let's practice it ourselves. Don't
Excuse him, we two are very good at swordsmanship, so we can reduce some pressure on him."
The couple started to practice swinging their swords again. Zhang Cong spent the whole morning groping and gained some experience. He put away his sword and Zhang Cong, who was sweating profusely, shouted, and then Aunt Cuihua came over with Xiaohua.
The three of them sat on a rock to rest. Shi Lin took out the simple concealed weapon manual he had written and handed it to Xiaohua and his daughter.
While resting and explaining, after a while, the two women understood the simple techniques of several hidden weapons. Zhang Cong handed them some money darts, and the two started practicing against the big tree.
After practicing for an entire afternoon, the two of them were familiar with the first concealed weapon technique, and were finally able to penetrate the money dart through the big tree. When Zhang Cong saw that it was getting late, he asked the two of them to go down the mountain, while he picked it at will.
Carrying some herbs on their backs, the three of them soon returned to the town.
From a distance, he saw a carriage parked in front of his house. Zhang Cong looked puzzled. He didn't know anyone else in this town except the innkeeper. Could it be Liu's carriage? Is it coming to see Aunt Cuihua and Xiaohua?
Sure enough, before he reached the carriage, Liu Dan suddenly got off the carriage, ran over with a smile, pulled Xiao Hua and walked towards the carriage. Soon a young man got out of the carriage and greeted Xiao Hua with a smile. Shi Lin immediately
I know, this must be the rich kid introduced to Xiaohua by the Liu family.
Xiaohua looked back at Zhang Cong and Aunt Cuihua uneasily, but Aunt Cuihua opened the door expressionlessly and took the lead to walk into the courtyard.
Liu Dan didn't notice anyone else at all, and greeted the young master into the hospital. Xiaohua looked at Zhang Cong awkwardly. Zhang Cong smiled slightly, waved his hand, and went into the hospital to wash up.
Liu Dan sat on the stone bench with the young man, and Zhang Cong and the three of them went back to the house to wash up and change clothes. When they came out after changing clothes, they saw the young man lying on the mouth of the well looking into the well, with surprise on his face.
Zhang Cong immediately understood what he was doing. Zhang Cong could naturally see that this young master actually had such an early stage of Qi training. He naturally felt the spiritual power emanating from the well and became jealous.
Sure enough, before Aunt Cuihua could sit down, the young master raised his hand and asked: "Aunt, I heard from Dandan that you just bought this house. I wonder how much money you spent on it?"
Aunt Cuihua said expressionlessly: "Do I need to report to you how much I spent? I spent my own savings and live in my own home. Doesn't this bother the Liu family and your young master Bai?"
As soon as Aunt Cuihua finished speaking, Bai's face darkened, and then she put on a smile and said: "I think you have misunderstood. Little Flower Girl and I are about to get married. You will be my mother-in-law by then. I think you have misunderstood."
There is a problem with the water coming out of this well. I am afraid that you and Xiaohua will be poisoned, so I ask you this. You can't live in this house anymore, something will happen if you continue to live in it."
Zhang Cong's eyes widened. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was telling lies, and he actually lied to the woman he wanted to marry and her mother. From this, it was obvious how useless this kid was.
As soon as the man named Bai finished speaking, before Aunt Cuihua could speak, Xiaohua said loudly with a red face: "Mr. Bai, you respect yourself, who wants to marry you? I thought Liu Dan would let you into the hospital because of his face, but I didn't expect you to talk so much."
You are talking nonsense. Not to mention that the water in my well is poisonous. Even if you drink it and die immediately, it has nothing to do with you. Please get out, you are not welcome in our home."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Not only did Bai's face look awkward, but Liu Dan's face also became extremely ugly.
