Sitting next to the stream and chatting with Xu Chuxiang was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although she was wearing a soil-dyed coarse cloth skirt, the style was simple and boring, but it still could not hide the beauty of the girl.
However, this girl's beauty is completely different from Xu Chuxiang's.
The beauty of Xu Chuxiang is the Ming Dynasty, the heroic appearance, the nobility and grace cultivated since childhood, and the generous self-confidence created by knowledge and experience.
If Xu Chuxiang is a dazzling peony that attracts everyone's attention, then the other girl is like a wild flower that grows in the mountains and is unknown to anyone, but is equally beautiful.
The girl has skin as white as jade, and long, beautiful black hair, which is simply tied with a wooden hairpin. She is fresh and natural, and her facial features are delicate and refined. Under a simple gown and skirt, the moving body curves are still vaguely visible.
If there is any similarity between the two women, it is that there is a hint of stubbornness and pride in their eyebrows. Of course, the source of their pride is definitely different.
This girl is Zhang Yadan, the most beautiful girl in Taoyuan Village, and the person Shu Guan has been wanting to marry as his wife in the past few years.
It's just that this has always been Shu Guan's wishful thinking.
Perhaps it was because when she was a child, she was so frightened that she cried when she saw Shu Guan, which left too many shadows in the little girl's heart.
Now Zhang Yadan still dare not look directly at Shu Guan's face. Naturally, such two people cannot live together.
At this time, Zhang Yadan was sitting opposite Xu Chuxiang, looking a little nervous, but not cramped.
The voices of the two people were sent to Shu Guan's ears along with the spring breeze in the evening.
"Sister Xu, that chocolate is so delicious."
"I have a few more pieces here. You can take them back later."
"Sister Xu, in the outside world you mentioned, there really are cars that can drive on the ground by themselves, lamps that can be brighter than oil lamps with just a pull of a cord, and phones that can talk more than ten miles away..."
"Yes, Sister Zhang, there are many things out there that you have never thought of before. The world is very big, with many, many people, and different things are happening every day."
"There are a lot of different people and different things happening every day..."
The eyes of the mountain village girl revealed the light of incomparable longing.
In the distance, Shu Guan smiled bitterly and understood why Zhang Yadan appeared here.
It's really not surprising.
Because Zhang Yadan, like the patriarch Wang Erniu, is one of the few people in Taoyuan Village who can think.
Shu Guan asked Wang Dahu a question a few years ago, whether he had ever thought about getting out of here. Wang Dahu's answer was that he didn't dare to think about it.
Shu Guan also asked Zhang Yadan this question. Zhang Yadan was silent for a long time, and then said his answer: I keep thinking about it.
Once people can think, they will have a lot more troubles and pains.
Especially in a place like Taoyuan Village, if you live without using your brain, you will live happily.
But if you think too much, your life will be extremely painful.
Shu Guan himself has a deep understanding of this.
In Taoyuan Village, besides Shu Guan, Zhang Yadan may be the second most miserable person.
Shu Guan could often see Zhang Yadan looking at the sky above the cliff, the desire and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Shu Guan knew what she longed for and was unwilling to do.
In Taoyuan Village, only Shu Guan could see and understand Zhang Yadan's pain.
Therefore, Shu Guan was not so surprised that Zhang Yadan would appear here at this moment.
Zhang Yadan's desire and curiosity for the outside world may be far greater than her fear of these outsiders.
As for how the two beauties started talking, it doesn't seem too strange.
What's strange about Shu Guan now is another thing.
That's how he could hear the conversation between the two women clearly.
You must know that he is still five or six hundred meters away from Zhang Yadan and the long-legged girl named Xu Chuxiang.
When did my hearing get so good?
Shu Guan couldn't help but remember that in the morning, he could clearly see the contents of a small photo from a long distance.
There are also pockmarks that fell for no reason...
There must be something really wrong with my body.
Although from the current perspective, these problems are not bad problems.
But there is a problem.
When did your body have problems?
It seems like... the pockmarks on my face started to fall off after I had that weird dream...
Shu Guan stayed there blankly for a moment.
He had time to think about it in the morning, and now he thought about it for a while, but it was still not the time to think deeply.
Then Shu Guan put down the bamboo basket first, took out a piece of cloth that had been prepared long ago, covered his face, tied a knot behind his head, then picked up the bamboo basket again and walked towards the stream.
What are the details?
That's the details!
Being a dog licker is not that easy.
In short, you can't do anything that the goddess doesn't like.
Shu Guan strode to the stream, and then heard the long-legged girl smiling and saying to Zhang Yadan:
"Sister Zhang, when things here are settled, why don't you come back to Jingcheng with me? I'll take you to see a movie, and I can also take you to a department store to buy beautiful clothes."
"Really? Sister Xu, are you willing to take me away?"
"Of course I do. I have never had a friend like you. I just chatted with you for a while and I feel we are very compatible."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Shu Guan looked down at the pot of fish soup in his hand, feeling the urge to cry.
I have been busy all afternoon, but I am not as good as Yadan spending a while with others.
At this time, the two beauties by the stream also saw them and came over to take a look.
"Brother Mazi, why are you here?"
Zhang Yadan shouted unexpectedly.
Although Shu Guan's face was covered with cloth, Zhang Yadan still recognized him at a glance.
As for Xu Chuxiang, when he first saw a man with his face covered with a cloth walking toward them, he couldn't help but be startled. Just as he was about to reach for the gun holster on his waist, he heard Xu Yadan's cry and realized that it was The pockmarked young man from the morning came.
Looking at the piece of cloth covering the other person's face, an uncontrollable smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Xu Chuxiang's mouth.
A guy who is so good at figuring out people's opinions and flattering people will definitely become a number one person if he joins the officialdom of Dahua.
Of course Xu Chuxiang understood the reason why the pockmarked young man covered his face with a piece of cloth, which made her couldn't help but take another look at the pockmarked young man.
In fact, this was the first time that Xu Chuxiang looked directly at Shu Guan.
Then Xu Chuxiao was a little surprised to find that if he didn't look at his appearance, Mazi was actually a very pleasing to the eye, and could even be said to be extremely attractive to the opposite sex.
He is at least 1.75 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, with excellent proportions. His body is straight and strong, but does not give people the slightest sense of bloat.
Pity……
Xu Chuxiang felt a little regretful for no reason.
Pockmarked with a cloth on his face, he came to them and placed the bamboo basket in his hand on the ground. A pleasant voice belonging to a young man sounded under the cloth.
"Girl, we have never had a foreigner come to our village. This is the first time in more than two hundred years. Even if the guest doesn't want to live in the village, we still have to entertain him well, right? To show our friendship as a landlord, this is the time. It’s the art of hospitality.”
As he spoke, Shu Guan opened the lid of the iron pot in the bamboo basket, and then a rich and extremely fragrant aroma filled the air.
"Bracken and crucian carp soup! So delicious!"
Zhang Yadan shouted in surprise.
"Yes, crucian carp soup. Girl, the stream here is clear and cold. The crucian carp meat bred in the water is tender and firm, and the bracken that enhances the flavor is a wild thing in the mountains and forests. It was picked during the Grain Rain season of the previous year. It is the perfect match for all things. When it is in full bloom, the wood energy is at its strongest. After picking, it is dried to absorb the essence of the sun's golden energy, and then sealed in an old yellow mud jar and marinated for more than a month before it can be taken out and eaten."
"Fish from the stream and pickled vegetables are stewed in a pot over high heat. This soup combines the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, so it is also called Yuanyang Five Elements Soup. It is not only delicious, but also replenishes qi and relieves fatigue."
"Girl, please enjoy."
Shu Guan picked up a large pot of fish soup and placed it in front of Xu Chuxiang.
Xu Chuxiang looked at him blankly.
To be honest, Xu Chuxiang was really shocked by what this pockmarked person said just now.
Xu Chuxiang would not be surprised at all if she was now sitting in the VIP box of Jinfulou, the most famous Chu restaurant in Jingcheng, and the owner of the restaurant, who was said to have won the imperial examination, personally introduced the dishes.
But such an elegant and refined statement came from the mouth of an extremely ugly pockmarked man in a remote mountain village, which gave people a strong sense of shock.
Is it possible that in this mountain village that has been isolated from the outside world for nearly three hundred years, there are still people who can read and read?
What Xu Chuxiang didn't know was that Shu Guan, who was standing opposite her, was covered by two layers of black pockmarks and cloth, but had a look of shame on his face.
Of course Shu Guan did not say what he just said. Although he knew traditional Chinese characters, he was definitely not capable of saying such sour words.
This passage comes from the notes left by the old scholar more than two hundred years ago. It is a paragraph in a fish soup poem that the old scholar wrote casually after he came to this valley.
Yadan has already succeeded, so you should hurry up...
So Shuguan quickly gave up his sense of shame.
What kind of face do you need to be a licking dog?
