"Zhang Lingzi, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Lan Sheng shouted angrily, bringing Chang Ling back to reality from his thoughts.
I saw Lan Sheng holding up the hem of her skirt and running over with a handful of wild fruits, and threw the fruits in front of Chang Ling, her eyebrows solemn and her eyes wide open as if she wanted to eat herself.
"Miss Lan Sheng?"
Chang Ling's face was full of doubts. He and Lan Sheng had not even spoken a few words, and he had never teased her.
Lan Sheng pulled out the long sword, threw it on the ground, and opened his eyes in anger.
"..."
Chang Ling was speechless when he saw the long sword on the ground that had been damaged by Suanni, but he never said that the sword was intact!
At this time, Lan Sheng was extremely unhappy and said with a straight face: "Is this how you repay me for saving my life?"
Previously, Lan Sheng was happily searching for food for Chang Ling in the forest. He encountered a tangerine tree and wanted to cut a branch and bring it back. When he pulled out the long sword, he saw that the sword was ugly, the blade was curled, and it was covered with bite marks.
Not to mention cutting down the branches, I'm afraid I can't even cut the grass. I feel like I've been tricked and I'm very angry. I didn’t want citrus anymore, so I walked back quickly. I just wanted to settle the score with Chang Ling. This time I would definitely give him a good beating...
"Miss Lan Sheng, this..." Chang Ling wanted to explain.
Lan Sheng interrupted Chang Ling before he could finish speaking, and said coldly: "Master, I see that you are handsome, so I won't argue with you this time. It's just that you might as well pledge yourself to me for saving my life!".
"..."
Chang Ling was even more speechless. How could this girl look like a bandit who robbed someone on the road? She was also the type who robbed both money and sex.
Lan Sheng lowered his head and looked down at Chang Ling, pinched Chang Ling's chin with one hand, and said, "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your promise, but don't worry, as my husband, I will protect you." The demeanor of a deputy uncle.
Chang Ling smiled awkwardly and said softly: "Miss Lan Sheng, marriage matters should be subject to the orders of the parents and the matchmaker. It can only be decided with three letters and six appointments. How can it be so casual!" After a short pause, he continued: "And I am a cultivator. Those who are not allowed to take wives.”
Lan Sheng disagreed, and then said: "I have no father or mother, so there is no need for these red tapes. As for cultivating immortals, you can do nothing but cultivate. I will protect you."
On the way back from gathering food, Lan Sheng thought about it carefully and felt that no amount of beating was worthwhile. She remembered that her mother once told her when she was very young that women are destined to marry. After marriage, they become one family with their husbands. What belongs to them belongs to their husbands, and what belongs to their husbands belongs to them. Lan Sheng believed this deeply.
Because her parents died unexpectedly when she was young, Lan Sheng has been bullied since she was a child. People in the village believe that she killed her parents and do not want to have too much contact with her. No one will be willing to marry her in the future, not even the villagers. Children will also make fun of her. Whenever they meet Lan Sheng, they will sing the nursery rhyme "Lan Sheng, Lan Sheng, conquers the father and conquers the mother, and lives a lonely life!".
Although Lan Sheng was angry, his parents protected him and he couldn't beat them.
After I get married, let’s see who dares to say that I will be alone all my life!
Lan Sheng's eyes lit up and he continued to think deeply: This Chang Ling is handsome, more handsome than other men in the village, and his clothes are extraordinary. There should be many treasures in the family. If you marry him, these will all be yours. Even Chang Ling is his own.
How enviable it would be to be able to lead him around the village, eat together, sleep together, and listen to Mr. Shu tell stories together.
Thinking of this, Lan Sheng decided to marry Chang Ling. While he didn't know the situation in the village, he had to hurry up and get him to agree to marry her.
What's more, I saved him, and then I shamelessly tried to make him repay my life-saving grace by asking him to marry me. If he dared not to marry me, I would throw him back into the river!
At this time, Chang Ling was thinking that he was just afraid that Lan Sheng would throw him back into the river, so he just didn't respond to her, and then he closed his eyes to rest.
Lan Sheng had already begun to unleash her shameless potential, stretched out her hand to open Chang Ling's eyelids, and said with a smile:
"Ms. sir, these are the foods I brought you. Come and eat some."
I thought to myself, I will call you husband-in-law, and if you don’t refuse, you will agree to marry me. When everyone knows that you are my husband-in-law, you won’t be able to marry me.
These wild fruits have strange shapes, some are extremely hard, and some have spikes. Chang Ling has never seen them before. He finally chose one that looked normal, but when he bit into it, he felt a rotten meat-like smell in his mouth. As it spread, these things really made it difficult for him to eat.
Chang Ling looked up and saw Lan Sheng gnawing attentively on a hard wild fruit. He turned his attention to the crooked melon wild fruit on the ground and said:
"Do you like eating these things?"
After saying that, Chang Ling regretted it. When he saw Lan Sheng's clothes, he thought about how she had just said that she had no father or mother. He roughly understood the reason. He not only sympathized with the girl in front of him who always called himself "young master", but also wished he could hit himself. He slapped himself to blame for his quick mouth.
Lan Sheng didn't pay attention, and handed the nut he had just bitten to Chang Ling, and said casually: "This is delicious, but it is more difficult to peel!"
Then, without waiting for Chang Ling to respond, he introduced the wild fruits on the ground to him.
I call the one you eat the Smelly Fruit, because it has a smelly smell, but it is very filling. After eating it, you no longer want to eat anything else; I call this the Lantern Fruit, because it has six sides and is long. The ones are like lanterns, and will turn red when fully ripe, and are particularly sweet. The green ones now are more sour; the one I just gave you I call it an iron ball. It is so hard that it is difficult to bite it. It is best to use a stone. Break it open for him, but there are no small stones like that here...
Just now I saw a tree of tangerines, which is my favorite to eat, but I was so angry with your broken sword that I forgot to pick some. But it’s okay, the oranges are still green now and they must taste very sour. I’ll take you to pick them later.
Chang Ling looked at the little girl in front of him who was busy introducing wild fruits to him, and he felt an urge to protect her, but he suppressed it as soon as the idea came into being.
The catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming. Master needs him, Yuntian needs him, and the three realms need him. Even with meager strength, he must hold the sword to serve all living beings in the world. This is the unshirkable responsibility of Yuntian's disciples.
Suddenly Lan Sheng's call brought Chang Ling back to reality, "No, it's getting dark soon. My husband, please eat quickly. We are going home. There are a lot of snakes and insects in the woods here."
It took some time to find food, and since Chang Ling had just wanted to marry her, it took a long time to wait and see, but it was already evening.
No one in the village wanted to come to this forest, so there were no roads and there were tangled weeds everywhere.
Lan Sheng pursed his lips and paced back and forth, thinking in his mind: "If I take my husband with me, I will not be able to leave before dark, and my husband is not in a good condition. What if he is bitten by an insect."
Lan Sheng had an idea in vain and said with a smile: "Ms. sir, don't blame me, I can only wrong you a little today!"
After saying that, he ran into the forest, just like last time when he was looking for food, without giving Chang Ling a chance to reply.
Chang Ling smiled faintly and said with a bitter smile in his heart: "She is just a little girl after all. Just now she was yelling and pestering me to promise her her body. When she saw that it was getting dark, she ran away and disappeared."
It's just that I really have difficulty moving at the moment, so it seems I have no choice but to spend the night in the forest tonight.
After a while, Lan Sheng came back, dragging a dead tree behind him. Chang Ling didn't know what he meant, but his heart felt warm when he saw her again.
"Ms. sir, my house is just downstream of the river. You can hold this piece of wood and float down the river later. I'll take a small road home and I'll pick you up at the river bank when we get to the village!"
Lan Sheng said seriously that this was the best way she could think of. I am already thin, and I am afraid that I will be too exhausted to go back with Chang Ling on my back. If I leave him here alone, then my husband will fly away!
Lan Sheng then thought about it, what if the river floated too fast and he couldn't catch up later? Then wouldn't it mean that the husband he got would float away! After thinking about it, I might as well go home holding the wood with him. Even if it was washed away by the river, I would be washed away with my husband.
People's minds are not connected to each other. At this time, Chang Ling felt bad: "Am I going to be thrown back into the river after all? Then was my careful coaxing of her today in vain?"
Then he was reluctantly thrown into the river by Lan Sheng, followed by the dead tree and Lan Sheng.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Master, I said I will protect you, and I will do what I say!"
Lan Sheng stared at Chang Ling, seriousness written on his dirty little face, then grabbed the dead wood and hugged Chang Ling and lay down in the river.
