On a summer afternoon in the mountain village, the chirping of cicadas is particularly harsh.
Huo Ziheng sat by the window. The hut was small and the window was also small, only two feet square.
"Hey, man!" The woman's head suddenly popped out of the window. She was in a very good mood for some reason, and the ends of her upturned eyes curved softly. "The weather is nice today. Let's get married!"
She slapped the thing hidden behind her onto the window sill.
It's clothes made of red cloth.
It's a happy dress.
"Ahem, cough..." Huo Ziheng looked away from the wedding dress and smiled lightly, "You don't even know my last name, but you decided to marry me just because of my appearance? What if I was If you marry me, a prisoner of the imperial court, you will share the blame; if you are caught, you will be beheaded with me, do you want to marry too?"
After he finished speaking, his chin was pinched and raised, and he faced the woman's face.
There was a window sill between the two of them. Standing outside in this posture, she was not tall enough and could not hold up her momentum.
But the face still tried its best to look fierce, baring its teeth and widening its eyes.
"What? You don't like me? I'm telling you, no matter how much I don't like you, I have no choice. You are mine when I snatch you away. I can kiss you even if I don't want to, and I have to worship you even if you don't want me!" You can’t afford to pay me back for a wedding dress that cost me eight taels of silver!”
Huo Ziheng did not pull his chin away, but leaned closer to the woman. His cold black eyes were fixed on her, and between the opening and closing of his thin lips, the fresh breath hit the woman's face, "If I don't want to, you will kill me?"
Ah Xian, "..."
Just talk, why are you so close? Her face is burning again, no, no, no, she must be blushing. This will make her look less impressive!
This face is so pretty...
A-Xian shook her legs and tried her best to open her eyes wider, "Don't resist, I can knock you down with one punch! I tell you this is a bandit village and no one will treat you fairly! Be smart and put on your wedding clothes to worship. ! And don’t scare me with any imperial convicts, I’m not scared. If I were afraid of the officers and soldiers and the court, I wouldn’t be a bandit here!”
Huo Ziheng looked at the sullen girl and smiled lightly, "Do you really want an unidentified sick man? Miss A Xian, I have nothing but a face, and I'm just a burden."
Even though there was no smile in his eyes, A-Xian still thought the dog-man had a damn good-looking smile, and his heartbeat was pounding loudly in his eardrums.
She couldn't bear it anymore and quickly released her hand holding the man's chin, her fingertips were all hot.
"Now that we are married, you have a status. I am not an irresponsible person. I will protect you. Regardless of bandits or soldiers, no one can deceive my husband. Humph!" After saying this, the woman Walk fast on tight feet.
It looked more like running away.
Looking at the girl's back, Huo Ziheng suppressed a smile on his face.
It was a midsummer afternoon, and the sunlight outside the window was dazzling.
In such a hot weather, he could not feel the heat on his body. Living with this broken body, he could not find any meaning in continuing to live.
The last thing to linger is just for the elders to say before they die: Heng'er...live.
If that girl wants to get married, then let’s get married.
When she gets tired of it, she won't continue playing.
Duckweed drifts, drifting with the current.
…
A-Xian escaped through the back window of the house, and Ben could run back to the front door in just a few steps.
She walked around in a big circle and waited until the heat on her face subsided before pretending to be calm and walking home.
It is rare to meet women who live in the same area on the road.
"A-Xian, I saw you brought back your wedding dress this morning. Do you really want to marry the one you stole?" A woman gossiped and approached her, wanting to find out more about her after-dinner conversation.
A-Xian raised her eyes, "Of course we want to get married. What I, A-Xian, said is true. He can't run away!"
Another mother-in-law came over and worried about her, "It's time for you to get married at your age, but you should choose someone better. That man has a good-looking face, but he is so sickly that he is so thin that the wind will blow. If you can fail, what do you think you want from him? It’s not like there aren’t any strong young people in our village—"
"Naturally, he is good-looking. There are really no young people with such a face in the village."
"..."
"Then do you know what his surname is? Where is his family name? Is there a wife at home? Are his parents still in high school? I tell you that this kind of stolen man is not well-raised. He has grown legs and he will seize the opportunity. He ran away, and when the time came, you failed to fetch water in a bamboo basket, and you were slept in for nothing, and you got pregnant - you are the one who will suffer in the end!"
A-Xian's face turned cold, and she pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it all over the ground. The women were so frightened that they ran away quickly. After running away, they turned around and shouted, "A-Xian, we are saying these things for your own good. If you think about it carefully, It doesn’t make sense! Don’t go to all the trouble to just get back the useless embroidered pillow. We are bandits, and we rely on fist fights to survive! Who of the people down the mountain can think highly of bandits? If we are not on the same road, we will not be able to walk together!"
The women dispersed shouting.
A-Xian was standing on the way back, with the sun shining brightly on her head, making her sweaty in an instant.
The cicadas hidden in the trees on both sides of the road were so hot that they squeaked and screamed.
However, she felt that the surroundings were so quiet, so quiet that her mood was waning.
A-Xian put away her whip, pursed her lips and continued walking home.
It's not that she doesn't understand anything.
Bandits are more disgusting and disgusting than dung beetles in the eyes of ordinary people, and she knows that.
so what?
She robbed him and got back the wedding clothes. This engagement was going to happen.
Outsiders don't know, they only know that she likes his face, which is superficial.
Actually no, what frequently appeared in her dreams was the way he looked at her when they first met.
She is nineteen years old and has been a female bandit for more than ten years. Ordinary people who know her identity are always afraid and despised when they see her.
Even the men in the village always looked at her with contempt, because she was not only a bandit, but also a woman.
She has a strong nature. She knew at a very young age that her path was difficult and there was no one around her to protect her. If she wanted to survive, she had to be capable and able to protect herself.
So she secretly practiced martial arts and pushed herself to death, so that she could become A-Xian, who can make the men in the village look at her today.
If not, she would have been ruined long ago, and like other girls in the village who were unable to protect themselves, she would have been reduced to a man's outlet.
As for the one snatched from home, only the way he looked at her was different.
No contempt, no fear, no disgust.
Very pure.
When he looked at her, he thought she was an ordinary girl.
Even if he knew she was a bandit, he would subconsciously avoid suspicion and not offend her.
He is not just pretending to be honest.
His integrity is deep in his heart.
"I'm getting married!" A Xianyang smiled and walked home faster.
If he hadn't fallen to this, there would have been no intersection between them.
She just fell in love with him and insisted on trying to catch him!
