"Lao Zhou, how are you today?" Xiao Shisan walked to a stall, picked up the fruit on the stall and started to eat it.
"Hey, it's you, kid. Why haven't you been here these past few days?" Seeing that the person coming was Xiao Shisan, Lao Zhou just retracted his hand that he had stretched out to grab the pole.
Lao Zhou is an old man in his fifties. He usually picks wild fruits for takeout in Luoyang City. Like Xiao Shisan, he is a villager in Xiahe Village. The two often travel together, so they are familiar with each other.
"Isn't there something going on these days? What beauty are you looking at again?" Xiao Shisan sat casually next to Lao Zhou and joked.
This old Zhou has not thought about getting a wife for decades. If it weren't for the fact that he could come to Luoyang City to see beautiful women, Xiao Shisan probably wouldn't even start this business.
He couldn't sell a few fruits a day, but he was quite satisfied. Fortunately, Lao Zhou's family had plenty of money and food, so the old man who didn't know how to farm didn't starve to death.
"You little brat knows how to trade. Our ancestors said that food and sex are also important. You will understand when you reach my age." Lao Zhou stroked his goatee, with a vicissitudes of life on his face, as if he had experienced many things. Same.
"Tch, Lao Zhou, I'm not telling you, it's time to find a wife, otherwise there won't even be a gatekeeper when you leave one day!"
"Bah! You should find a wife first and then talk about me, old man."
Xiao Shisan made an appointment with Duan Muling to meet again in Luoyang City. Xiao Shisan planned to wait here for a while before entering the city. Maybe Duan Muling was still behind him.
"Hehe, boy, look over there, that girl is pretty good!" Not long after he said that, Lao Zhou gave Xiao Shisan two elbows with a squinting look on his face.
Xiao Shisan looked over and saw a young woman walking towards her. After just one glance, he lost interest.
She looks pretty good, but the makeup on her face is too thick. She doesn’t even need so much powder to decorate her house!
"Xiao Shisan, what are you doing here?" the woman asked as she walked closer.
Xiao Shisan looked puzzled. This woman looked familiar. Could it be a romantic debt left by her predecessor?
Lao Zhou secretly moved his body to the side, as if watching a show.
"This girl, do I know you?" After recalling it carefully, Xiao Shisan still couldn't remember the identity of the woman in front of him.
"Xiao, what do you mean! My lady came over to say hello, and this is your attitude?" The maid behind Lu Pei stepped forward and looked at Xiao Shisan with disgust in her eyes.
Isn't this the maid who has been following Lu Peiyi? Could this woman be Lu Peiyi?
The more he looked, the more familiar Xiao Shisan felt, and finally he combined the image of Lu Peiyi with the white wall in front of him.
"Xiao Shisan, why are you fooling around with this old immortal if you don't sell medicinal materials?" Lu Pei looked at Xiao Shisan, his tone full of reproach.
"Hey, the world has changed, and the village chief's family can also have a maid, let's call her miss!" Before Xiao Shisan could say anything, Lao Zhou on the side started to get angry, and the word "miss" was emphasized very hard.
No one would be happy to hear someone call him Old Immortal, let alone a master like Lao Zhou who is not stingy.
Just one sentence made everyone around him laugh.
In today's world, people who can take care of maids are either monks or have rich families.
But neither of these things can be possessed by the head of Xiahe Village. As for why Lu Peiyi can have a maid, it is also very simple.
A few years ago, a family member in the village died of illness, leaving only a little girl of several years old still alive.
At this time, the village chief took the lead to stand up and said that God was good at raising children and that his family had raised this little girl.
At the beginning, the villagers said that the village chief was kind-hearted and a good person. But it didn't take long for the villagers to discover that the village chief had sold all the land left by the family to the neighboring villagers in the name of the little girl, without leaving any money for the little girl.
The poor little girl was so grateful to the village chief's family that she voluntarily stayed as a maid. She was beaten and scolded but never thought of leaving.
"I thought she was the eldest lady from some family, but it turned out to be the village chief's daughter."
"It's true these days, where can the village chief's family keep a maid?"
...
The whispers around him were very low, but they fell on Lu Pei's ears, as if on purpose.
"Old immortal, are you tired of living?"
Lu Pei has been used to being arrogant and indulgent since she was in Xiahe Village. She doesn't want others to talk about her identity as a villager outside. Lao Zhou's words immediately annoy her, not to mention that there are people around who are fanning the flames and trying to set off Lao Zhou's business.
"Lu Peiyi, this is not Xiahe Village, let alone your family's territory!" Xiao Shisan knocked Lu Peiyi's hand off without any courtesy.
"Xiao Shisan, what do you mean!" Lu Peiyi looked at Xiao Shisan in disbelief.
Xiao Shisan would not be like this in the past. Even if he yelled that he was a waste, he would try his best to make her happy the next day. But all this changed after Xiao Shisan fell into coma, as if he was a different person. She likes to ignore things, and this attitude is even more true now!
"It's not interesting. If Lao Zhou made a mistake, I'll apologize to you on his behalf!"
After time travel, Xiao Shisan didn't want to have anything to do with the village chief's family, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to break off the engagement. Unexpectedly, Lu Peiyi became more arrogant and rude.
"Xiao Shisan, you have to think clearly. Our young lady is about to marry the young master of the Li family and become the wife of the Li family. What do you two idiots have to be proud of? Come on! What are you still doing? Did you see the young lady being bullied by these two mud-legged guys? Why don’t you go and break their legs?”
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to see the unnecessary injury on Lu Pei's hand, and said loudly.
Behind the car were several servants of the Li family. At this time, you were looking at me and I was looking at you. They were only responsible for sending Lu Pei to the Li family, but they didn't care about the fight.
Poor people must be hateful!
Xiao Shisan glared at the maid, with a fierce look in his eyes. He frightened her back and did not dare to look at Xiao Shisan again.
"Are you all deaf?" At this time, a voice came from the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone looked around and saw a man wearing a brocade robe with a sallow complexion walking out among the crowds of several servants.
Several servants here immediately called "Young Master" when they saw this. The person who came was none other than Li Paohui, the young master of the Li family in Luoyang.
And Lu Peiyi jumped directly into Li Paohui's arms, his voice was sharp and uncomfortable.
"Brother Li, he bullied me!"
Xiao Shisan felt goosebumps all over the floor, but Li Paohui's face was full of pride. In front of the public, he pinched the soft part of Lu Pei's back twice, causing Lu Pei to gasp. .
"You guys, break the legs of these two mud-legged people and throw them into the river!"
After Li Paohui casually ordered a few servants, his hand had already been inserted into Lu Peiyi's shirt, and the latter's body was shaking.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around, they would probably have started making some inappropriate scenes!
After receiving the order, several servants eagerly approached the stall.
"Little boy Xiao, run away, a good man won't suffer the immediate consequences!" Lao Zhou pulled Xiao Shisan's lapel and wanted to run away, but Xiao Shisan stood motionless on the spot.
"It's okay, Lao Zhou, I can handle it!"
There were just a few servants, and even without using the armor, Xiao Shisan could easily handle them. Spending so much time collecting herbs in the forest was not just about catching fish.
"Let's see who dares!" Another voice came out.
