On the second day after traveling to ancient times, Mingxi was preparing to go to the county seat.
The family of four finished washing up, put on clean clothes, happily went out and headed straight to the village——
That weird feeling from yesterday happened again!
Everyone you meet on the road, everyone! They all nodded and smiled at her indifferently!
Mingxi got goosebumps.
What the hell is going on?
Not only did she feel strange, but her daughters also felt strange.
Manjing couldn't help but press close to Mingxi and asked in a low voice: "Mom, why is everyone looking at us?"
"Uh..." Ming Xi thought for a moment and explained calmly, "Maybe he has eaten wild boar meat, so he is more enthusiastic towards us."
Xiaoxue said bluntly: "Do they know that my mother can do magic?"
"Xiaoxue, you can't tell me!" Ye'er's face turned pale and she said nervously, "If someone finds out, my mother will be taken away!"
"Xiaoxue, stop talking, stop talking." Xiaoxue covered her small mouth with both hands, leaving only a pair of big black eyes rolling around.
Mingxi rubbed the little heads of her daughters one by one, "Don't worry, no one can take mom away."
She is the one who holds the mall, and her golden fingers are so thick. If someone can still catch her, it will be an interstellar joke!
When we arrived at the village, a bullock cart was parked on the roadside.
Every day, people from the village go to the county town together. Old Zhu, the driver, goes back and forth twice a day to earn money for traveling.
At this time, there were already two village women in the car, as well as two large backpacks.
Mingxi carried Xiaoxue onto the bullock cart. Ye'er and Manjing were older and could climb up on their own. After the mother and daughter were seated, the bullock cart was almost full.
In fact, based on the cattle's load-bearing capacity, it's okay to squeeze in a few more adults. However, cattle are expensive animals and generally will not be fully loaded.
The old man Zhu who drove the cart raised a thin willow stick and made a sound in the air. The big buffalo stepped forward with its hooves and walked forward slowly.
This speed... is really slow.
Mingxi suspected that it would be faster for her to walk, but she still had three little ones, especially the youngest one who was only five years old. Mingxi felt that she was being abused by letting such a young child walk on a mountain road to the county town.
Hearing whispers in his ears, Mingxi turned his head and glanced, seeing the two village women on the bullock cart whispering to each other.
I don't know what they were talking about, but when they saw her looking over, the two village women's eyes averted for a moment, as if they were startled.
Mingxi: "…………"
A village woman smiled at her to resolve the embarrassment, and started talking: "You are the Ming family's wife, right? Yesterday you gave pork to my sweet-scented osmanthus, and I am blessed with your favor."
The original owner didn't like to go out and spent most of the day crying in the house, so the villagers couldn't fully identify her. However, the village woman looked somewhat similar to Cao Guihua. When she was in her forties or fifty, Mingxi boldly guessed that she was Guihua's daughter. mother.
"It turns out to be Aunt Cao," Mingxi greeted with a smile, "You are also going to the county seat."
"Yes, I saved some eggs to sell in the county town." Aunt Cao replied with a smile.
The village woman next to Aunt Cao squeezed over and introduced herself attentively: "Madam of the Ming family, I am Guihua's aunt, just call me Aunt Cao."
As he spoke, he grabbed three loquat fruits from the basket on his back, stuffed one into each of Ye'er, Manjing, and Xiaoxue's hands, and said with a smile: "The loquat tree at home is bearing fruit. I heard that people in the city are rare for these fruits, so I thought Take it to the county town to sell it and let your children have a taste."
Ming Xi was kind-hearted, smiled at the other party and nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Cao."
Several children also expressed their thanks.
Once they started talking, the relationship seemed to get closer. Aunt Cao couldn't suppress her excitement and asked Mingxi: "I heard that you met a beggar Taoist priest before, who was actually a god and accepted you as his disciple. Is that true? Yes?"
Mingxi: "???"
Is the village connected to the Internet? Information spreads so fast? !
Aunt Cao couldn't wait to ask: "What does the immortal look like? How did he teach you the magic? Is the wild boar caught using magic? Is it like the song in the opera, where you can make wind and rain with just a swish?"
The corner of Mingxi's mouth twitched slightly, "Haha... Who did you listen to? Did you misunderstand? I don't know any magic. I just dreamed about gods teaching me magic. How can the things in the dream be taken seriously?"
Can't admit it, can't admit it! Absolutely not admit it!
In this era, using the prestige of ghosts and gods can indeed make things easier for her, but she must not leave anything to say, otherwise she will be accused of deceiving others by telling lies, and she will be jailed!
Aunt Cao was still very interested, "What kind of dream was that? How did the gods teach you? How long have you been learning in the dream? Is it difficult to learn?"
Ming Xi smiled awkwardly, "...I can't remember clearly. Dreams are all vague."
"What about the wild boar?" Aunt Cao asked again, "You haven't forgotten how you caught the wild boar, right? For such a big wild boar, it was dragged back and slaughtered without any injuries. The magic taught by the gods is really powerful. !”
Ming Xi hesitated to speak, "The wild boar... uh..."
Alas, it takes a lot of brains to make up an excuse. I thought it would be enough to fool my own family, but I didn’t expect to have to deal with the villagers... It’s really troublesome. Otherwise, I just said that the wild boar had a heart disease and died suddenly.
Mingxi was about to speak when Xiaoxue suddenly hugged her arm and said nervously: "Mom, you can't say it, you can't say it! If you say it, you will be taken away!"
Ming Xi was stunned, but before she could say anything, Aunt Cao next to her suddenly said: "Yes, yes, you can't say that!"
Mingxi: "...ah?"
Aunt Cao winked at her sister-in-law, "There's a saying that secrets must not be leaked, right? Just stop asking, and see what embarrassment the lady of the Ming family will get!"
Aunt Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted her thigh, "Yes, the secret must not be leaked! Look at my brain, why didn't I think of this? OK, OK, I won't ask, I won't ask!"
Mingxi swallowed back what she wanted to say silently...
Okay, if you insist on thinking that way, I can't help it, anyway...I won't admit it anyway.
But Aunt Cao couldn't hold back her words. After being quiet for two seconds, she came over to chat again: "Is Mrs. Xi going to the county seat? What are you going to do?"
Mingxi replied: "Go to the county town for a stroll, and stop by the county government office to ask about setting up a female household. From now on, our mother and daughter will officially settle in the village."
Aunt Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why do you suddenly want to set up a female household? Is this also the guidance of the gods?...Ah, no, I mean, is this the revelation you received in a dream?"
Mingxi...Mingxi, what else can she do? She could only laugh and say nothing.
"Oh, can't we say this?" Aunt Cao murmured to herself, and then nodded, "Okay, the secret must not be leaked, must not be leaked..."
Mingxi: "…………"
Aunt Cao finally calmed down. With a disappointed look on her face, she picked up the loquat leaves in her basket and threw them away one by one. She seemed to feel sad that the topic could not be started.
Mingxi couldn't help but sympathize with her.
Is it wrong to gossip? That’s right! Curiosity and desire to share will only promote the progress of human society!
Mingxi decided to give Aunt Cao some material.
She coughed lightly and said to Aunt Cao: "Your loquats look really good. I have seen loquats like this in my dreams."
