[Comprehensive martial arts] Take a mountain to cross quickly

Xu Baijin, whose family was in decline, sold his house in the city when he was 15 years old. He brought his soulless father to live in his ancestral house in the countryside outside the city.

Relying on several acres of Susukida and three thatched huts, Xu Baijin lived on simple food and drink for two years.

But at the end of the fourth month after two years, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into Xu Baijin's world, disrupting Xu Baijin's life and making Xu Baijin very distressed.

The appearance of this unexpected guest is also very different...

It was at dusk when Xu Baijin just came back from the field with a hoe that day. He entered his small courtyard, put down the hoe, and went straight to a well in the corner of the courtyard to fetch water for washing.

But when Xu Baijin lifted the wooden barrel tied to the well mouth wheel out of the well, he suddenly saw a fair-skinned and beautiful woman in a strange dress sitting obliquely inside the barrel!

The woman waved and smiled at Xu Baijin, and while Xu Baijin was in a daze, she climbed out of the bucket and stood in front of Xu Baijin.

God is pitiful, although Xu Baijin, who is only a little over 17 years old, is precocious, he is not precocious enough to cope with this kind of scene. He held back for a long time in shock, and finally choked out three words. He asked who crawled out of the well The woman said: "Who are you?"

Facing Xu Baijin's question, the woman replied sincerely: "Little brother, I can say that I was a traveler who accidentally fell into the well while passing by, but I'm afraid you don't believe me, and I don't want to lie to you..."

"So my answer is: I don't know who I am? I should live far, far away from here, even so far away that I'm not in the same world as you."

"Then why did you appear in this well?" Xu Baijin asked after a little relief.

"Time travel, do you understand time travel?" The woman shrugged her shoulders, and she asked Xu Baijin back.

Xu Baijin shook his head blankly.

"Then I can't explain clearly." The woman sighed when she saw this, she beat her waist with her backhand, found a small chair in the courtyard and sat down first.

"All in all, I was thrown into your well by a magical force." After the woman sat down, she tried to explain to Xu Baijin: "This force ignores distance and time!"

"You're talking too profoundly." Xu Baijin was still confused, but vaguely he seemed to understand a little more.

The young Xu Baijin keenly grasped the key to all the problems, and he asked the woman directly, "Are you unable to go back?"

"Yes." The woman suddenly wept.

"In other words, you actually have nothing to eat and no place to sleep now?" Xu Baijin asked tentatively.

"Yes." The woman raised her head pitifully.

"So you want me to take you in?" Xu Baijin stared at the woman.

This time, the woman was silent, she just looked at Xu Baijin and nodded.

"But men and women don't know each other!" Xu Baijin told the woman bluntly, "Besides, there are only me and my father in the family..."

"I don't mind." The woman stated quickly.

"I mind!" Xu Baijin, a modest gentleman, scratched his head, and told the woman in embarrassment: "There is an extra woman in the family, and I can't explain it to others."

"Little brother, how about I be your wife?" The woman rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said boldly.

"No!" Xu Baijin took a step back after being bluffed by this woman, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Why? Could it be that I'm not beautiful?" The woman bit her lip and cast a wink at Xu Baijin.

"It's not that you're not beautiful..." Xu Baijin ignored the woman's winking eyes, and he carefully chose his words: "I think you are at your age, and you can be my mother-in-law."

"Am I that old?" The woman's face suddenly changed.

"Dare to ask the girl's age?" Xu Baijin didn't argue with the woman, he imitated the scholar in the city, bent over and cupped his hands in a polite manner.

"I'm only 28, no... 27 years old." The woman leaned on Xu Baijin and asked, "How old are you, little brother?"

"I'm seventeen years old." Xu Baijin smiled slightly.

The woman seemed to be shocked by Xu Baijin's words. After a long time, she said quietly: "The ancients seem to be really precocious! But they are only ten years older, so they can't be mothers."

"Girls don't know, girls here can get married at the age of ten." Xu Baijin added honestly.

The woman's complexion changed in an instant, she changed for a while, she gritted her teeth and asked Xu Baijin: "You just said you still have a father?"

"Yes, he is reading in the house." Xu Baijin pointed to the thatched cottage behind the woman.

"You and your father depend on each other for life?" the young woman asked.

"Yes, my mother passed away three years ago." Xu Bai responded sadly.

"Then how about I be your mother?" The young woman suddenly approached Xu Baijin and said with a smile.

……

As a son of man, Xu Baijin couldn't take the initiative to refuse for his father.

He could only take another step back, dumbfounded, and reminded the woman, "My father is stupid, are you sure?"

"Stupid?" The woman was taken aback for a moment, but in an instant she said happily, "It's okay to be stupid, I just need someone to take care of me."

"By the way, does your father look like you?" The woman asked Xu Baijin again with concern.

"Look back..." Xu Baijin stretched out his hand.

The woman turned her head and saw that a window of the hut behind her had been pushed open at some point. Behind the window stood a handsome man quietly, looking at the sunset in the sky...

The man's face and outline are vaguely similar to Xu Baijin's, but he is much more mature than the young Xu Baijin, and there is a hint of sadness between his brows...

The woman couldn't help but be dazed, she muttered to herself: "I've decided, I'm your mother!"

"Don't rush to make a decision." Xu Baijin kindly stopped the woman, and he yelled at the man behind the window: "Father, is there any difference in the pancakes today?"

Hearing the sound, the man standing behind the window withdrew his gaze from looking at the sunset, and turned to Xu Baijin.He smiled peacefully, and replied to Xu Baijin: "Baijin, you are back, the pancakes hanging in the sky today are not good, they are a bit burnt."

"By the way, who is this brother next to you? Why is he wearing so little?" The man standing behind the window asked Xu Baijin again with a look of surprise.

"Father, I'm not a man, but a woman..." Xu Baijin responded in embarrassment.

"Woman?" The man standing behind the window frowned, and he reprimanded Xu Baijin: "Could it be that you stole her clothes and returned them quickly!"

"I didn't snatch her clothes, she wears less clothes herself." Xu Baijin whispered.

Turning his head, Xu Baijin continued to ask the woman: "Do you understand? Do you still want to be my mother?"

The woman also looked away, facing Xu Baijin, and said sympathetically: "Your father seems really stupid, but I'll tell you the truth, I have nowhere to go... If I leave here, I'm afraid I will soon They will die on the streets."

"So, I still want to be your mother!" The woman nodded firmly.

"Go and talk to my father. If he agrees, I have no objection." Xu Baiqian let go of it in distress, bent down to fetch a bucket of water again, and carried it to the kitchen to make dinner.

……

Holding three bowls of vegetable porridge, Xu Baijin came out of the kitchen, and the sky was dark now.The woman was nowhere to be seen in the yard.

"Leaving?" Xu Baijin was a little relieved, and thought to himself apologetically and worriedly.Although he didn't understand what time-traveling was, Xu Baijin knew that in this world, it would be very difficult for a lonely woman who came rashly to survive.

With such complicated emotions, Xu Baijin pushed open the door of his father's room, and said in a low voice: "Father, we have dinner."

No one responded, Xu Baijin raised his head, but saw his father was still standing at the window, and beside his father, a person wearing his mother's old clothes was watching the scenery outside the window with his father.

"How did you do it?" Xu Baijin put down the vegetable porridge in his hand in surprise, and lit the oil lamp in the house by the way.

"This is a secret." The woman wearing Xu Baijin's old clothes turned around and asked Xu Baijin: "Do I look good in your mother's clothes?"

"It looks good." Xu Baijin nodded, but he added: "But you are wearing my mother's clothes, I feel a little uncomfortable..."

"It's human nature." The woman understandingly supported Xu Baijin's father to sit at the table. She stared at Xu Baijin and said slowly: "Give me a chance? I will try my best to be your mother."

Xu Baijin looked back at the woman, the light and shadow of the oil lamp on the table swayed, adding a little warmth to the cold hut, which Xu Baijin had never noticed before.

Xu Baijin didn't speak, he reached out to pick up a porridge bowl and handed it to the woman.
