Although there is no snow in the southern part of Gyeongju, it is still cold. The cold wind howls and pedestrians rush around.
On the official road, a buffalo was walking pulling a cart.
A young man who looked a little crazy was driving a car. He said he was driving a car, but he was actually resting on the car door. The buffaloes relied on the buffalo to determine the direction of the car.
"Miss Shen, did you find it hard to come all the way?"
Ye Ming knocked on the side of the car and asked.
Miss Shen, Shen Xinmu, who was across the car curtain, replied:
"It's hard work, but if I can't stand it even while sitting still in the car, then it's too much for me."
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"The village ahead is available for rest. You and I can rest here for a while. What do you think?"
"I will do whatever Mr. Shanyuan says."
Miss Shen said so.
Ye Ming heard this and said again:
"It's really inconvenient for you and me to be together like this. How about we treat each other as brother and sister to others?"
"Little sisters listen to their elder brothers."
"Haha, let's go into the village then."
There are many residents in this village, and there are homes along the road. The surrounding fields are wide, and only a few are uncultivated and abandoned. Most of them are being planted. You can see a large amount of winter wheat swaying in the wind in the fields.
As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, this village will not have to worry about food in the next year.
There is food at home and no panic at all. The people here feel more energetic than those struggling to survive elsewhere.
After entering the village, Ye Ming jumped out of the bullock cart and said to the cart:
"Little sister, you can come out now."
Miss Shen in the car heard the words and stepped out of the car.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. This is absolutely true. Miss Shen, who was originally wearing silk and satin, looked like a lady at first glance.
Now she wears a pair of coarse linen clothes, and she has transformed from a lady in the world to a green flower in the village.
After getting off the bullock cart, Miss Shen glanced around and smiled at Ye Ming:
"Brother, where shall we stay tonight?"
Ye Ming pointed to a thatched roof house not far away and said:
"This is the one."
With that said, he stepped forward to negotiate with the family.
All the men in this family were drafted into the army, and there were only two people in the family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Ye Ming was willing to pay for accommodation, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed.
After the negotiation was settled, Ye Ming called Miss Shen over.
Miss Shen walked over and suddenly smelled a strange smell.
It was the smell of all kinds of dead cats, dogs and feces mixed together. The stench was really disgusting.
Fortunately it's not summer, otherwise the stench would be unimaginable.
This smell made Miss Shen subconsciously frown and look in the direction of the strong smell.
At a glance, it turned out that it was coming from the yard of the house next door.
There were many dead cats and dogs lying in the yard, and there was still wet excrement on the fence.
Miss Shen couldn't help but frown when she saw this.
I wanted to ask, but when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw this, they immediately pulled Miss Shen into the thatched house, as if they were afraid of being seen by others.
Seeing how nervous her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were, Miss Shen asked curiously:
"Why are you two like this? What happened to that family?"
Seeing Miss Shen asking, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not dare to say anything. They seemed to be very scared. They only told Miss Shen not to ask any more questions, let alone leave the house at will and let others see them.
Seeing the two people reacting like this, Miss Shen knew that they had something to hide.
But she didn't force it, and she really didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
The food here is really rough, just looking at it makes you lose your appetite.
If it were a good lady who saw this kind of food, she would probably scold her on the spot.
But Miss Shen just frowned and tried to eat.
It's just that the smell coming from next door is too bad, it's like eating in a latrine, it's unpalatable.
In fact, not only her, but also the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a hard time.
After finally getting through the meal, when it was time to rest, there was no spare room in the house. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law squeezed into one room, while Ye Ming and Miss Shen, the "brother and sister", squeezed into one room.
Ye Ming leaned against the wall of the room with a leisurely expression, seemingly not affected by the smell at all.
Seeing this, Miss Shen couldn't help but ask:
"How can brother endure such a stench?"
Ye Ming smiled and said, "I didn't smell any bad smell, I just smelled a fragrance."
"Scent, what's the smell here?"
Miss Shen suspected that this guy was going crazy again and talking nonsense!
At this time, Miss Shen saw an old woman coming out of the yard next door, holding a broom, shedding tears and cleaning up the dead cats, dogs and feces in the yard with sad eyes.
Miss Shen felt strange when she saw this, but she didn't know why.
Due to the cold weather now, the smell began to dissipate quickly after the rotting dead cats and dogs were cleaned up.
At this time, Miss Shen's nose moved slightly, and the fragrance really had a fragrance.
Miss Shen, who accidentally smelled the fragrance, was very curious and looked into the yard next door.
Apparently, the aroma came from there too.
At this time, Miss Shen was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
Looking at Ye Ming, he found that he was already sleeping with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, she knew that this person couldn't talk, so she didn't ask anything.
I just took off one layer of my coat and lay down on this tattered quilt and clothes.
After the stench disappeared, Ms. Shen, who was physically and mentally exhausted, quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already up and busy.
I have to weave again, and I have to go to the fields to see how the winter wheat is growing.
All the men in the family were drafted away, leaving them alone to do farm work and make ends meet.
Seeing this, Miss Shen originally thought that Ye Ming would choose to take her out of the village early in the morning. Unexpectedly, this person had no intention of leaving, and instead asked her to help the family weave.
Miss Shen did not refuse or lose her temper. She really helped the weaving family.
Now the fragrance coming from next door is becoming more and more obvious, and everyone here feels very comfortable smelling it.
While Miss Shen was weaving, she quickly started chatting with the daughter-in-law, trying to make excuses.
When the daughter-in-law was asked about this, she didn't dare to say anything, she looked very scared, and she would look at Ye Ming from time to time, who was just lazy and not doing any work there.
Miss Shen was confused and didn't know what the other party's actions meant.
At this time, two people suddenly appeared outside.
The visitors were two young men who looked to be in their twenties. Just from the look of their clothes and temperament, they belonged to the scoundrel type.
One of them has no thumb on his right hand, and the other has a completely useless left arm.
They carried a large sack and went to the yard next door. They took out the carcasses of animals that had been dead for a long time and threw them into the yard.
The yard suddenly became stinky again, and the pleasant aroma was also covered up.
Seeing this, Miss Shen realized that it was these two people who were causing trouble.
Looking at the daughter-in-law again, she was very afraid of the two people. She didn't even dare to raise her head and pretended not to see them.
Seeing this, Miss Shen quietly asked about the origins of these two people.
Seeing Miss Shen's beauty, this daughter-in-law was afraid that she would not know the truth, so she explained to her in a low voice.
It turns out that these two people are the gangsters in the village.
In the past, when most of the men in the village were around, they could not afford to make trouble.
But now all the men were taken away by the conscription. These two guys were afraid of death and did not dare to be soldiers. One cut off his arm and the other cut off his thumb, turning himself into a cripple and thus evaded the conscription.
Originally, the death of two scoundrels was a very happy thing.
But since there are only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the village, these two guys have become the overlords of the place and are disgusting.
After hearing this, Miss Shen knew that what happened next door was probably directly related to the two rogues.
It's just that there is only an old woman next door, but the two gangsters dare not enter and only dare to throw dirty things outside, which seems very strange.
Miss Shen took the opportunity to ask about what happened next door.
But when the daughter-in-law heard this, she shook her head again and again and remained silent.
Seeing this, Miss Shen was a little helpless, but she didn't press hard.
At this time, the two people who had thrown away the rotting animal carcasses came straight here. It seemed that they planned to come here for food, and they seemed to do this often.
Seeing this, the daughter-in-law was a little panicked. She asked Miss Shen to hide quickly while looking at the only man here, Ye Ming.
It's just that this one didn't seem to see the two thugs at all and ignored them.
The daughter-in-law had no choice but to come out to greet the two rogues.
The two of them were very rude, arrogantly entering other people's homes and looking for food without restraint.
The house is so big, Miss Shen has nowhere to hide, so she will be discovered naturally.
In fact, she didn't hide it, it was just there.
The couple usually moved around the village. They had never seen such a beauty before them. When they suddenly saw her, they felt as if they had met a fairy. They were very surprised and rubbed their eyes unconsciously.
After confirming that Miss Shen was a human being and that she was still wearing coarse linen clothes, the two gangsters looked at each other and signaled to each other before approaching Miss Shen.
Seeing this, the daughter-in-law wanted to step forward to stop her, but was pushed away by someone.
Seeing the two people on the other side walking in, Miss Shen suddenly flicked her hand that had been behind her back and sprinkled a handful of chili noodles directly on their faces.
"ah!!!"
The two gangsters screamed and subconsciously covered their eyes.
Miss Shen's other hand had already taken out the scissors used to cut the fabric. She squatted down and stabbed one of them in the calf.
The man's calf was pierced by the scissors. He screamed and subconsciously kicked out Miss Shen's forehead, knocking them down.
However, he himself fell to the ground in pain.
Miss Shen, who was kicked down, groaned, gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of firewood beside the stove, and hit the other person's calf bone with all her strength.
The other person also screamed and fell to the ground.
After knocking down the two men, Miss Shen rushed out of the door, ran outside, picked up a long wooden stick, and beat the two ruffians who were almost blind.
He didn't stop until he was so tired that he couldn't hold the stick anymore and fell to the ground.
The movement here also attracted the attention of others, and the elderly, weak, women and children from other surrounding families came over to check.
Seeing two thugs in the village being beaten to death, they all shouted with joy. A group of people came forward and tied up the two thugs with ropes.
Miss Shen also felt much more relaxed when she saw this.
That is to say, her strength was too weak. If she had been stronger, the random beating just now would have killed at least one person, and would not have left them alive.
At first, the villagers thought it was Ye Ming, a man who took care of the two gangsters.
It was after the daughter-in-law explained that they learned that it was the beautiful and weak-looking Miss Shen who had done it, which was really surprising.
Seeing that both gangsters were taken down, Miss Shen asked about the house next door again.
This time, it was the old woman from next door who came to complain to her...
The family next door had a pretty good life, and the old woman's daughter-in-law also married a beautiful wife.
Life was going well at first, but the King of Jin conscripted the army and transferred all the men away, leaving only two rogues in the village who were adult men.
These two people were attracted by her daughter-in-law's beauty and wanted to take advantage of her, so they ignored her, knocked on the door, insulted her, and harassed her every day.
Want to achieve good things.
But her daughter-in-law has a strong temper. She holds a hatchet in one hand and scissors in the other, and she wants to fight for her life with two crippled thugs.
The two of them did not dare to fight for their lives, so they retreated.
After that, the two of them would hang around outside their house, taking off their pants from time to time, showing off their penises, and humiliating their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Her daughter-in-law couldn't bear the harassment and was so angry that she committed suicide!
After his death, his body did not rot, but emitted a strange fragrance. It smelled so good that everyone in the village could smell it.
Seeing this, the two gangsters were frightened, thinking that the other party might turn into a ghost to retaliate against them, but they did not dare to enter the other party's house again, so they wanted to use the stench of rotting animal carcasses to suppress the scent so that the other party could not retaliate against them.
What happened next was what Miss Shen witnessed with her own eyes...
...
