The look on the woman's face when she heard about Gassan Festival meant that she must have known about this festival, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of running away.
"Come from outside?" The man looked at Xiao Ran and heard that Xiao Ran's accent did not sound like the local one.
"The rules of the Gasan Festival are that no matter where you are, you must wash your upper body with holy water at noon to drive away bad luck!"
"Since you are all here and you are all men, why not take a shower together?"
Gassan Festival has nothing to do with women. Women only serve men to wash themselves, so these two people forgot about it.
"But, my brother is shy, so let's forget it." Xiao Ran pulled the woman over.
The woman's ears turned red but she said nothing.
"Okay, okay, since you are a foreigner, you don't have to abide by this rule."
The leading man waved his hand, and the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ran took the woman and left.
When we arrived outside the teahouse, there was no one outside.
"Let go." The woman shook Xiao Ran away.
"Repaying kindness with revenge?" Xiao Ran was a little unhappy, and his arm hurt a little from being thrown by this woman.
Rubbing her shoulders, the woman looked a little embarrassed: "Why did you help me?"
"You're a girl. If I don't help you, won't you be seen by a group of men?"
"You know?" The woman was a little shocked.
Xiao Ran said helplessly: "I'm not blind. You look like a woman at first glance, and you don't have an Adam's apple..."
Although some men are born without Adam's apple, only a small number of them have it, mainly because of their appearance.
"The eyes are quite good, but do you have any purpose?" The woman looked at Xiao Ran warily.
"What purpose can I have? I'm not from your side."
The woman felt slightly relieved: "What are you doing here?"
This is a small town, and generally very few outsiders come here.
Xiao Ranzhi said that he was here for an outing. Someone at home was sick and he just came to get medicine.
"I believe you for now, but if you want medicine, you can go to the opposite side, the doctor there is the best."
Xiao Ran smiled: "I'm just waiting for the doctor opposite to come back."
After looking at the time, the teahouse became lively again.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you, I'll go do some business first."
Xiao Ran turned around and left. The woman behind was a little anxious: "Thank you."
Xiao Ran waved his hand, not paying attention to it, it was just a matter of effort.
When I walked into the hospital, the doctor inside had already returned.
Xiao Ran asked for some medicine and then left with peace of mind.
After getting on the carriage, the woman hadn't left yet, just looking at him from outside.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the carriage was about to leave, the woman shouted.
Xiao Ran called to the coachman and stuck his head out of the carriage: "Is something wrong?"
"Take this. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the hospital to see me."
The woman handed over a sachet.
"Okay." Xiao Ran was not polite and held the sachet.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Me?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised. Could it be that he fell in love with himself?
"My name is Xiao Ran, see you by chance!"
The woman nodded, and Xiao Ran asked the groom to set off.
We have to do business now, and the carriage quickly returns to the village.
Xiao Ran stopped the carriage directly in front of Li's house.
No one in the village was riding a carriage. The carriage stopped in front of Li's house and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Xiao Ran got off the carriage and knocked on Li's door.
Not long after knocking, someone came to open the door. When he saw it was Xiao Ran, he slammed the door.
Xiao Ran was a little confused, but he quickly understood. The person next door must have tipped off the news, otherwise how could they be so resistant to Xiao Ran.
"I came to see Uncle Li. I brought a lot of gifts." Xiao Ran amplified his voice to ensure that the people inside could hear it.
After saying that, Xiao Ran was not in a hurry.
Not long after, the door opened again, but the woman had a gloomy face.
"come in?"
After saying that, he looked behind Xiao Ran, and his eyes lit up when he saw the carriage.
Xiao Ran smiled and said nothing.
Let the coachman take the carriage back to the yard first.
As soon as the carriage left, the woman's eyes darkened obviously.
I thought Xiao Ran pulled a carriage full of gifts.
Now Xiao Ran was empty-handed and immediately lost his good expression.
"Don't worry, after reading Uncle Li, I will give it to you naturally."
Hearing this, the woman's expression softened slightly.
"Let's go."
Anyway, Xiao Ran had already visited once to see if the woman was that worried anymore.
If Xiao Ran dared to do anything, the people in his house were not vegetarians.
Opening the door, the rancid smell from before rushed into his nose again, making Xiao Ran couldn't help but cough twice.
The woman even hid far away, never looking like she was taking care of others.
Walking in, Xiao Ran looked at the woman behind him. He was so far away that he couldn't even see her movements clearly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Li, are you okay? I am the son-in-law of the Chu family." Xiao Ran squatted down.
The person on the bed showed no reaction and looked even weaker than before. It seemed that he had to hurry up.
The woman stared at Xiao Ran from a distance, but couldn't see Xiao Ran's movements clearly.
After a while, Xiao Ran stood up.
The woman immediately stepped forward and locked the door with a big lock.
Xiao Ran's eyes darkened slightly.
"Thank you for taking care of Uncle Li. This is a reward for your hard work."
With that said, Xiao Ran took out fifty taels of silver, and the woman took it, unable to stop the greed in her eyes.
Seeing the woman like this, Xiao Ran was a little unhappy.
But he didn't say much and left the Li family.
Xiao Ran came outside the cornfield, and sure enough, Li Hua was still hanging around.
"Li Hua." Xiao Ran shouted.
Li Hua immediately turned around: "Xiao Ran, where have you been?"
"You go to the official tomorrow morning and say that your uncle seized the family property, imprisoned your father, and tortured him to death!"
"What!" Li Hua was shocked: "My father?"
"Yes, let the people from the Yamen go in and search when the time comes!"
Xiao Ran looked certain, whether he can succeed or not depends on tomorrow.
"But remember, you must not let the people from the Yamen take away your father's body when the time comes. Just say that you have not fulfilled your filial piety for too long, and you must hold a funeral for your father and not let them take it away."
"If they must take him away, I will find a way." Xiao Ran ordered.
"Corpse?" Li Hua's eyes widened and he asked, "Could it be..."
Xiao Ran didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Li Hua was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to slowly digest Xiao Ran's words.
"Dad..." Li Hua fell to the ground.
Xiao Ran returned to the yard with a heavy heart.
Chu Yanhong saw Xiao Ran coming back and stepped forward: "Where have you been?"
It was already dark before Xiao Ran came back.
"It's okay, but there is a way to save Li Tieniu, but..." Xiao Ran didn't know whether his plan would succeed.
"You just hide at home tomorrow, watch the old man, and don't go out."
Chu Yanhong was a little confused, but she still agreed.
Feeling a little heavy, Xiao Ran lay on the bed and tossed and turned all night.
As soon as it dawned, Xiao Ran got up.
