Miss Shen has been drinking water like crazy recently, for no other reason than that the bitter taste in her mouth has never completely dissipated, so she can only rely on drinking water to dilute the feeling.
Once you drink more water, you will naturally go to the latrine more often.
It's okay to say that there are huts in the village, but now outside, the only solution is to find a hidden bush, forest or the like.
Fortunately, I have been traveling with Ye Ming for so long, and I am used to it.
Her cheap brother never does anything dirty, which is reassuring.
After solving her personal problems again, Ms. Shen returned to the bullock cart as usual and continued on her way.
Not long after we were walking forward, we suddenly saw a man who looked like a young man carrying a package, wearing silk and satin, with a sword hanging on his waist, and a lot of mud on his clothes catching up to him. He shouted from behind:
"Wait a minute ahead, wait a minute!"
Ye Ming heard the sound and tapped the buffalo's butt with his foot, and the cart stopped.
Seeing this, the young master behind him quickened his pace to catch up.
After looking at Ye Ming first, he then looked at Miss Shen.
Miss Shen saw that this young man looked good, but it was rude to stare at her like this.
The young master didn't think so. Instead, he looked at Miss Shen and asked:
"Girl, I have a question that I would like to ask you. Can you tell me?"
Although the other party was a little rude, Miss Shen still said politely:
"Excuse me, sir."
Hearing this, the Young Master pointed his hand behind him and said:
"Did you pee in that pit over there?"
Miss Shen:......
Seeing Miss Shen's silence, the young master immediately knew that he had found the right person, pointed at himself and said:
"Girl, you peed so much! I stepped on it and fell straight out. Not only was it covered in mud, but my bracelet was also broken!"
As the young master spoke, he took out an emerald green bracelet that was broken into two parts:
"This is what my mother left to my future daughter-in-law. It's just cut off. Tell me, what should I do?"
Miss Shen was also very knowledgeable and knew that this bracelet was valuable and had a special meaning. She was a little speechless for a moment.
"This young master, this little girl did not intend to harm anyone, and is willing to compensate the young master."
"compensation?"
The young master tilted his head, glanced at Miss Shen who was wearing coarse linen clothes, and said:
"It's not that I look down on you. The value of my bracelet alone is not something that ordinary people can afford."
"What do you want, young master?"
"this......"
The young master was stunned and suddenly speechless.
He was angry when he saw the family heirloom bracelet broken, and then he caught up to argue.
It was just that the other party had an obvious attitude of admitting his mistake and seemed to have no money, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
At this time, Ye Ming on the side smiled and said:
"This is easy, can't you just let my little sister marry you?"
When Miss Shen heard this, she couldn't help but look at him and curled her lips slightly.
When the young master heard this, he immediately waved his hands:
"No, it can't be done. I restrain my wife. I can't marry her. I can't marry her."
Upon hearing this, Miss Shen turned her eyes and suddenly looked at the young master:
"Master, are you telling the truth?"
"Who would talk nonsense about this! If it weren't for Katsumi, I wouldn't be almost 20 years old and still unmarried!"
Speaking of this, the young master sighed and felt a little depressed.
"How serious is it for a young man to conquer his wife?"
Miss Shen asked.
When the young master heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Girl, what you are asking is a bit rude."
"Young lady, I was quick to speak. Please forgive me, sir."
Seeing that Miss Shen's attitude was sincere and did not seem to be deliberately humiliating, the young master sighed and said that he had killed three women one after another.
According to what he said, his name is Du Yongyu, and he is the second son of the magistrate of Cangzu Prefecture. It would not be difficult for him to marry a wife because of his superior family background, but because of his restraint on his wife, he has not married yet.
The first one died of illness shortly after proposing marriage.
At that time, the family did not take it seriously and chose another daughter for him.
Just halfway through the three books and six rites, the woman accidentally fell into the water and died.
After that, another girl was arranged, and everything went smoothly up to now, but on the day of the wedding, the girl suddenly rushed out of the sedan chair, got into a tomb on the side of the road, and never came out again.
I heard that the woman’s lover was buried in the grave. Later, a pair of butterflies seemed to fly out of the grave...
This incident was a big blow to Du Yongyu.
It's not because the woman who turned into a butterfly in her grave, after all, she has never even met her in person and has no emotional basis.
The main reason is that there were problems with his three wives, and it goes without saying that it is obvious that he suppressed his wife.
After listening to what Du Yongyu said, Miss Shen couldn't help but take a deep look at Ye Ming.
But this one went crazy again and looked completely unable to communicate.
"Since Mr. Du is the son of the prefect's family, why are you not afraid of being in danger when you are alone outside?"
When Du Yongyu heard this, he patted the sword on his waist with some pride and said:
"I am the son of a prefect, but I am also a knight-errant. With my abilities, I am afraid of others being in danger!"
"Young Master Du can't live a good life as a good young master, so why does he come out to sleep in the open air?"
"If you feel down, come out and explore the world to relax your mind~~"
As Du Yongyu spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong, looked at Miss Shen and said,
"That's not right. What we are discussing now is how to compensate for my bracelet. Your question is a bit far-fetched."
Miss Shen said: "The little girl really doesn't have the money to pay for Mr. Du's bracelet. If Mr. Du is willing to wait, he can pay for it after I return home."
"Then how long until you get home?"
"The little girl has not yet embarked on her journey home."
"...Are you kidding me?"
"Master Du has misunderstood."
Seeing that neither party could come up with a good solution, Ye Ming smiled and reached out to take the bracelet from Du Yongyu's hand.
When Du Yongyu saw this lunatic snatching something, he subconsciously wanted to take it back.
But he never expected that he, a martial arts master, would not snatch a lunatic.
Ye Ming got the bracelet that was broken into two parts, rubbed it with his hands, and one end of the bracelet was immediately connected. It was perfect, with no cracks visible, as if it had never been broken at all.
It's just that one end is still broken and has not been connected.
Du Yongyu was greatly surprised when he saw this, and Ye Ming returned the bracelet with one end connected to him.
"Well, Your Excellency, you have this ability, why don't you pick them all up?"
In response to his question, Ye Ming stretched himself and said with a smile:
"Hey, my abilities are limited. I can only use this ability once in seven days. The next time I can use it, it will take seven days."
"Seven days..."
Du Yongyu looked at the half-borrowed bracelet in his hand, thought about it, and said,
"Okay, then wait another seven days."
Ye Ming heard this and said with a smile:
"Then please ask Brother Du to stay with us temporarily for these seven days. My little sister is the cause of the trouble, so I will let her be your maid for seven days in exchange for interest."
After hearing this, Miss Shen glanced at Ye Ming and then bowed slightly to Du Yongyu:
"Master Du, please get in the car."
Seeing this, Du Yongyu waved his hands and said:
"Seeing as you are quite reasonable, just help me fix the bracelet. There is no need for the maid."
With that said, he asked Miss Shen to sit in the car, and he and Ye Ming squeezed outside together.
Miss Shen saw that he was somewhat tolerant, and her senses were slightly better.
Just because of the awkward meeting before, I always felt that the atmosphere was strange when communicating with him.
Du Yongyu was born in a family of officials. He was good at literature, Taoism and martial arts. He was a gentleman who dabbled in all six arts and had a wide range of knowledge.
Along the way, there is always something to talk about, but it does not seem lonely.
Not long after traveling, we encountered a group of bandits who were blocking the road and robbing us.
This made Miss Shen feel a little strange.
The world is in chaos, and there are many bandits, bandits, and thieves of all kinds.
But since I followed Ye Ming, I could always avoid these people and basically not be disturbed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Du just followed him for a short distance and met a bandit.
I thought that the young master would show off his power and kill all the bandits with the sword on his waist. Unexpectedly, he didn't take action at all. He stepped forward and talked a lot of slander to the bandits and was let go.
Miss Shen was a little surprised when she saw this:
"Master Du, don't you plan to eliminate these bandits and do harm to the people?"
Hearing this, Du Yongyu shook his head and said:
“When I first came out to travel in the world, I would catch thieves when I saw them and kill evildoers when I saw them.
But as time went by, I discovered that the world was too complicated, and many things couldn't be solved by killing people.
Let’s just talk about bandits. In fact, most bandits were forced to become bandits.
Moreover, not all bandits are vicious.
When I talked to Heihua just now, I found that most of the villagers on the other side were Luocao who couldn't survive. They were robbing only for food and clothing, and they didn't kill people wantonly.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with letting them go. "
These remarks surprised Miss Shen. Her knowledge of the world was limited to some people in the market. She had only seen stories about heroes wiping out a mountain village by themselves. She had never thought about where the bandits came from.
Du Yongyu is actually very interested in Ye Ming.
In his opinion, Miss Shen obviously does not have much fighting ability, but she can move freely in this area, which shows that she has someone to rely on.
And she only had a crazy brother like Ye Ming beside her, and his ability to connect bracelets with one hand made Du Yongyu very curious about him.
"Brother Shanyuan, what is your ability to connect bracelets?
Can you teach me? I pay for it. "
Ye Ming smiled and said, "You can't learn this skill, and you don't have to think about it."
Seeing what this person said, Du Yongyu stopped worrying and asked again:
"Brother Shanyuan, you are quite capable. Which sect do you belong to?"
"Self taught."
"Is it so powerful? How about we try two moves."
"Listen to me, let's not try, lest you doubt your life."
Hearing this, Du Yongyu nodded with deep understanding:
"Okay, then I won't try it."
"Aren't you going to insist on giving it a try?"
"As the saying goes, listen to others' advice and eat enough. My biggest characteristic is that I listen to advice."
"wise."
We chatted word by word along the way, and as time went on, we got to know each other quite well.
When Miss Shen and Du Yongyu communicated, there was finally no longer the slightly awkward and subtle atmosphere before.
In the evening, they arrived at a place with no village in front or back and no shop in the back. The three of them got off the bullock cart and stopped on the side of the road.
After a simple dinner, they went to rest.
There was a special folding tent in the luggage that Du Yongyu was carrying. He erected it in just a few clicks, but it was just big enough for people.
When he was taking out the package, a red candle rolled out and landed at Miss Shen's feet.
When Miss Shen saw the red candle, she felt it looked familiar and reached out to pick it up.
When Du Yongyu saw Hongzhu, he immediately stepped forward to take it back.
"Master Du, you red candle..."
"This is also something passed down from my family. It's quite strange. It has been used since my grandfather got married and has never been used up.
My eldest brother also ordered this one when he got married. Now that it has been handed down to me, I look forward to using it. "
Du Yongyu said, putting away the red candle very preciously and wrapping it in paper.
Seeing this, Miss Shen glanced at the package she put in the car, and then at Ye Ming.
It's just that this one was already hanging on a branch and seemed to be asleep.
Seeing this, Miss Shen had to go back to the car to rest.
Just because I drank too much water along the way, I thought about it again at night...
In this kind of wilderness, tigers, leopards, and jackals might appear around at any time. She didn't dare to go to the grass to deal with it alone.
I wanted to wake Ye Ming up, but this brother was so sleepy that he couldn't wake up at all.
Instead, Du Yongyu was woken up.
When he learned that Miss Shen was up at night, he said he could help protect her.
To be honest, Miss Shen still doesn't quite believe in this person's character.
But there are some things that I can't help but agree with.
Fortunately, this person acted decently and kept his back to her the whole time and never looked back.
When Miss Shen saw this, her senses couldn't help but feel better...
...
