Seeing that everyone had been saved, Mu Yong walked to Ye Ming very gratefully.
"Brother Shanyuan, thank you very much for your help this time."
Ye Ming just smiled and said nothing more.
Afterwards, Mu Yong walked up to Miss Shen again:
"Miss Shen, you are the bravest and most courageous I have ever seen. I have never seen a girl like you."
After talking a lot, I heard him say again:
"It's just that I'm afraid I can't promise you anything because I still have to worry about their feelings..."
Muyong said while looking at the other girls.
When Miss Shen heard this, she smiled:
"Mr. Mu, I'm afraid you are overthinking this time. I don't want to have anything to do with you.
What I said earlier was my brother's joke, not mine.
I appreciate your talent, but that's all. "
When Muyong heard this, he was a little disappointed at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's fine if it doesn't, it's fine if it doesn't."
Ye Ming glanced at the horizon and saw that it was already dark, and said with a smile:
"Little sister, it's almost time to go."
Miss Shen nodded, saluted Mu Yong, and followed Ye Ming behind.
Ye Ming walked past Thief Saint and said with a smile:
"This person in your family deserves to be cherished."
"Tui'er is my wife, the best woman in the world, I will cherish her."
The Thief Saint patted his chest and said.
When Cui'er heard this, she blushed a little and covered her face with her sleeves.
Ye Ming smiled and patted the Thief Saint on the shoulder:
"You don't have children yet. Next year, today, I will give you a pair of twins."
The Thief Saint and his wife were overjoyed when they heard this and thanked them profusely.
Ye Ming just waved his hand and continued to move forward with Miss Shen.
The buffalo pulling the cart appeared on the roadside at some point, carrying the two of them and disappearing into the morning light.
Muyong looked at this scene, wondering what he was thinking, and sighed slightly.
The girls urged him to take him and others out of here...
After leaving Kurashifu Castle, the buffalo cart continued to move forward.
In the car, Miss Shen was reading carefully the poem written by Zhang Muyong.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"I thought that after you were rejected by others, you would have trouble thinking about it again!"
Miss Shen heard this and smiled slightly:
"To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable being rejected like this, but fortunately I am not tempted myself, otherwise I might not have to let you, brother, watch the show of seeking death and survival."
Ye Ming tilted his head and looked at her and said:
"In the past, you might have been seeking death because of this kind of thing, but you will never do it now."
"Brother really understands me!"
"Haha, of course, otherwise how could I be your brother?"
While the two were talking, they saw something strange happening on the roadside ahead.
Looking up, I saw a woman in mourning clothes fanning a fresh grave bag with a fan, and there was a fire beside the grave.
Ye Ming pointed to the village ahead and said to Miss Shen:
"I'll rest here today, and I'll trouble my little sister to stay with that woman."
Miss Shen got off the bullock cart and walked behind the woman. She saw that the woman was sweating profusely from exhaustion and her arms were sore, but she still insisted on fanning the grave. She was a little curious about what the other party was doing so persistently.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
The woman was so focused on fanning the grave that she didn't notice anyone coming behind her.
Hearing Miss Shen's voice, he reacted and turned back to look at Miss Shen.
Seeing that the other party was also dressed as an ordinary girl in coarse linen clothes, I didn't pay too much attention and said casually:
"Didn't you see me fanning the grave?"
Miss Shen saw that this woman had a delicate face and was considered good-looking. However, there were a lot of calluses on her hands from work, which showed that she was also a hard-working person.
"Why fan the grave?"
"Of course the grave must be dried."
"Is this your late husband's grave?"
"good."
"The new grave will be erected and it will be done naturally by next summer. Why bother?"
"Doesn't that mean we have to wait half a year? But I can't wait."
"Are you in a hurry?"
"That's natural. I want to remarry."
"If you remarry, why should you fan your grave?"
"Before my death, my deceased husband asked me to wait for his grave to be dried before remarrying. But I didn't want to wait that long, so I fanned the grave and roasted the grave with fire, so that the grave could be dried faster."
"It's only half a year, can't you wait?"
"Don't say half a year, just one day, that's too long."
"You're in such a hurry, have you already found a good match?"
"Of course, Mr. Jia in the town is a kind man and has a reputation as a scholar. He was also my childhood playmate. Now he is also widowed. I can't wait any longer for him to marry me."
After some questioning, the woman continued to slap the grave. Her shoulders were so tired that she could hardly lift them, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Seeing this, Miss Shen asked again:
"Did your late husband treat you badly?"
"It's not bad. Although he sometimes goes hungry, as long as he has something to eat, he won't be short of me."
"Then you still..."
"It's precisely because my deceased husband didn't treat me badly that I came to slap the grave. This doesn't count as a breach of my promise."
Seeing this, Miss Shen was silent for a moment and stopped discussing the issue. She just said:
"My brother and I have passed through here for a long time and would like to stay overnight. Is it possible to accommodate?"
"Borrowing? Will you give me money?"
Miss Shen took down a dozen copper coins from the waterwheel and asked:
"Is that enough?"
When the woman saw the money, her eyes lit up:
"Okay, I have a vacant room at my house that I can lend you.
If you are willing to add another five cents, I can also cook dinner for you. "
"It's so annoying."
Miss Shen thanked her.
Seeing that there was money to be made and that fanning the grave was really hard work, the woman stood up and took the two of them to the village.
Miss Shen chatted with her for a while on the way and learned that the woman's surname was Sun.
The widow surnamed Sun, or Widow Sun, led the two of them into the village and arrived at a thatched house with only five rooms.
According to what she said, her late husband was a mason who specialized in building houses for wealthy families.
Although I don't have a brick house, the thatched house I built is not small in size and is more luxurious than the village chief's house.
After arranging the accommodation for Ye Ming and Miss Shen, Widow Sun went to the kitchen to cook and entertain the two guests.
Just after I was busy in the kitchen for a while, someone came outside.
It's an old couple.
The two men came to the door of Widow Sun's house, looking very unhappy.
The old woman among them even cursed loudly and cursed all kinds of obscenities.
Miss Shen, who was sitting in the room to rest, heard the sound and went out to check.
Widow Sun also came out of the kitchen.
When the old woman saw her, she cursed even louder.
Widow Sun looked very ugly when she was scolded, but she did not refute.
No one else, just because this old couple are her parents-in-law.
Miss Shen saw that the old woman just cursed but didn't tell the reason, so she stepped forward to ask the reason.
When the old woman saw her, she asked Widow Sun if she was still hiding wild men at home.
At this time, Ye Ming also walked out of the house.
When the old couple saw that a man was really there, they cursed even more harshly.
Ye Ming was not angry when he was suddenly scolded. He just smiled and stepped forward to correct the pronunciation of their elegant words.
The old woman didn't expect that this person actually corrected her pronunciation problem, and she was also stunned. After careful observation, she found that this person's behavior was quite crazy, and then she realized that he was a madman, and his cursing voice couldn't help but stop.
Seeing this, Miss Shen asked what was going on.
The old woman didn't say anything, just stared at Widow Sun coldly.
The old man wanted to be more stable and explained the reason.
It turned out that someone in the village saw Widow Sun bringing them back, saying she was bringing a wild man back.
After they heard about it, they came to the door.
Miss Shen heard this and said with a smile:
"You two, my brother is a congenital fool, and he also suffers from madness. He is stupid, crazy and stupid. He can no longer take care of himself. There is no cure.
I will take care of everything, and there is no chance that a man will steal or a woman will be a prostitute, so you two can rest assured. "The facts are in front of them. The old couple saw that Ye Ming was indeed a madman, and they also knew that they had wrongly blamed their daughter-in-law.
The old woman's expression softened a lot and she no longer scolded Widow Sun, but she had no intention of apologizing.
She is an elder, and there is no such thing as an elder apologizing to a younger person.
Knowing that the girl in front of them brought her crazy brother with her and paid the money, the two of them stopped arguing.
Originally, both of them were planning to leave, but Widow Sun, who had lowered her head before, suddenly said:
"I plan to remarry."
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly became furious:
"What did you say?"
Seeing that the old woman was angry, Widow Sun shrank her neck subconsciously, but then she raised her head and said again:
"I want to remarry!"
This time she not only said she wanted to remarry, she also directly stated that she had made an agreement with Mr. Jia in the town to marry her husband as soon as his grave was cleared!
When the old woman heard this, she became furious and pointed at Widow Sun, her fingers trembling.
He wanted to curse, but he couldn't take a breath and fainted from anger.
The old man was shocked when he saw this and quickly helped the old woman.
Widow Sun was also shocked when she saw this.
Although she is a little afraid of old women, since they usually live in separate families, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is actually not serious.
Besides, she was indeed right about the remarriage. When she saw that the old woman was dizzy, she quickly stepped forward to check and helped the old woman into the house.
After entering the house, they were patted on the back and given water. It took a long time before the old woman finally woke up.
After the old woman woke up, she pointed at Widow Sun's nose and cursed.
No matter how much the old woman scolded her, Widow Sun just bowed her head and remained silent, with a rather tone-deaf attitude. She had no intention of remarrying at all.
When the old man saw this, he was also furious, but after a long sigh he said:
"Forget it, since you are determined to remarry, I, as a father-in-law, will not stop you, but you must at least remain a widow for my son for a while!
Instead of three years, how about one year? "
Widow Sun shook her head:
"No, I don't want to wait any longer. As soon as his grave is dry, I will remarry!"
"My son has only passed the first seven days, and he has not finished the third seven days. You should have waited for a while anyway.
Besides, is that Mr. Jia you are talking about really that good? "
The old man asked angrily.
"Of course. Mr. Jia is humble, has both political integrity and talent, and is my childhood playmate. He is the best candidate for remarriage."
Widow Sun naturally spoke to Mr. Jia.
Hearing this, the old man said again:
"Didn't you say that he was recently widowed?
In this case, it would be more appropriate for you both to wait a year and a half before discussing marriage! "
"I don't want to wait that long, and he doesn't want to wait that long either."
"Are you doing this worthy of your recently deceased husband and wife?"
The old man pointed at Widow Sun's nose angrily and asked.
Widow Sun is still stubborn:
"People are dead, but you still have to frame us living people. Don't you think this is too much?"
Seeing that this daughter-in-law was so stubborn, the old couple were very angry.
Remarriage is a common thing, not to mention in troubled times, even in prosperous times. Although the old couple is angry, there is nothing they can do.
After pointing at Widow Sun and cursing her, she left angrily.
After getting angry at the two elders, Widow Sun didn't realize that she had done anything wrong. She just breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the distance, still saying "Master Jia" in her mouth.
Miss Shen stood aside and saw that her eyes were full of longing for a new life in the near future.
After being in a daze for a while, Widow Sun went to cook again.
Miss Shen was about to sit down and rest for a while when she suddenly felt her ears being pinched.
"Girl, what did you say about me to that old couple just now? Say it again, okay!"
Ye Ming's hand had already grasped Miss Shen's ear at some point.
"It hurts, it hurts, my ears, my ears are about to fall off. Brother, what are you doing? Let go, let go quickly!"
"Repeat what you said to me before, and I will let go."
"Ah, what did I say before?"
"Playing dumb, right?"
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, brother, Xinmu knows he is wrong, he knows he is wrong!"
"Wrong? You are not wrong. I just want to hear again what you said about me to the old couple just now.
Don't worry, I'm not a devil and I won't do anything to you!
I am the most generous person and will never get angry. "
"Ah, brother, please spare my life, Xinmu knows that he was wrong~~"
