depend on for life

There are many rains in the Qingming season, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

By asking where the restaurant is located, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

Although there was light rain in the sky, there were still many pedestrians on the country roads and Tian Long in Xinghua Village.Some of these pedestrians are busy with spring plowing with hoes and cattle, and some are holding paper money and joss sticks to visit relatives' graves to pay homage.The same thing is that they are all wearing commoner shorts, the dress of low-level peasants.

What is different from this rural scene is that two carriages stopped at the entrance of Xinghua Village at this time, and the driver of the carriage asked the villagers passing by: "Brother, how can I get to Mr. Xiao's house in Xiao Zaidao?"

The villagers didn't tell each other directly, but asked, "What do you want Master Xiao to do?"

The young man didn't dare to speak for the master's family, so he got out of the car quickly, opened the curtain, a middle-aged man in a Confucian uniform, with a white face and short beard, poked his head and said: "Wen wants to get married with Mr. Xiao's family." , please tell this big brother!"

Seeing the polite attitude of the middle-aged man, the villagers felt relieved and said, "Go straight ahead, turn left at the first intersection, and you will see an alley. The house at the end of the alley is Mr. Xiao's house. However, I want to remind you In a word, if you want to get married with Mrs. Xiao, I'm afraid it's a waste of time."

"Could this elder brother make it clear?" The middle-aged man was more polite, cupping his hands.

"The thing is like this. Years ago, Mr. Xiao had a sudden stroke and was paralyzed in bed. After that, he dismissed the students and closed the private school. He invited a matchmaker to come to his door, hoping to find a support for his daughter before he left. Xiao Jin, the daughter of Mr. Xiao Yi is a well-known beauty in several nearby villages, and her conduct is also very good. Mrs. Xiao is also a scholar. As soon as the news came out, people would come to ask for marriage every now and then..."

"Could it be that Mr. Xiao's daughter has already betrothed to someone else?" The middle-aged man interjected.

"That's not it!"

The villagers continued to explain: Although many people came to Xiao's house to ask for marriage, Mrs. Xiao loved her daughter very much and hoped that her daughter would find a loving husband, so he let Xiao Jinyi decide for herself.There are quite a few excellent people who came to propose marriage, but Miss Xiao did not agree to any of them. Over time, everyone said that the girl from the Xiao family was high-spirited, and ordinary men looked down on her, and there was no matchmaker coming to the door for a while. up.

A few days ago, Mr. Xiao's student Liu Bi and Liu Ju came to ask him to marry him, but Miss Xiao never agreed.This Liu Juren's family background, talent, education and appearance not to mention that Xinghua Village is one of the best in Qingping County, was still rejected by Miss Xiao, so this Liu Juren asked Miss Xiao, what kind of man in the world can be favored by a girl?

Miss Xiao said that it wasn't that she was high-spirited, but that her father was seriously ill, and her younger brother had no intention of getting married.Her father ordered her not to dare to disobey, but marrying her at this time would really make her an unfilial and unrighteous person, and I hope Liu Juren will forgive her!

This Liu Juren felt that Miss Xiao was very filial and righteous, and wanted to ask for marriage even more. He said that after marriage, they would be a family, and Miss Xiao's father and younger brother should be taken to the Liu family and taken care of by him!

Miss Xiao thanked Liu Juren for his kindness, but she said that since ancient times, there has never been a reason for her mother's family to live in her husband's house. She does not want her father's younger brother's reputation to be damaged, and she does not want Liu Juren to be caught between her and her family!

Liu Juren had no choice but to give up. Before leaving, he said, Xiao Langjun is only eight years old, and it is too early to be self-reliant. If he waits for him to support the family, the girl will no longer be young. Really, don't you think about yourself?

Miss Xiao shook her head and said with a smile, if there is a good man who is willing to marry and share the joys and sorrows with the little girl, the little girl will be happy.However, the little girl didn't dare to think extravagantly, and she didn't want to drag others down.

"That's how things happened, so I said that you came to ask for a marriage, I'm afraid it's a waste of time! Unless you are willing to marry your son."

The man in the Confucian uniform looked a little heavy after hearing this, and asked, "How is it that elder brother is so clear about Miss Xiao and Liu Juren?"

"Because the matchmaker for Liu Juren is my sister, and my sister has seen and heard this matter with her own eyes."

After the villagers finished speaking, they left with their hoe on their shoulders!

At this time, a woman's voice came from the carriage: "Master, shall we still visit Master Xiao?"

"Not going, go back to Qingping County for resettlement!"

"But Zhao'er?"

"Zhao'er is the only child of the Wen family. If the girl from the Xiao family insists on getting someone to marry, I will absolutely not agree to it. There are still more than three months before Zhao'er takes office. Let's talk about it then!"

"Ms. Mo, help me fill this wine gourd!" A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, a coir raincoat, rolled trousers, and straw sandals with muddy legs untied the wine gourd from his waist and said to a middle-aged obese woman.

"Erzhu's father, or Xinghua Village?" Aunt Mo asked.

"Yes, Xinghua Village, among the ten miles and eight villages, your home-brewed Xinghua Village is the most mellow and strong. I, I have a mouthful now, and I don't like other wines!"

Aunt Mo laughed so much that her face was full of fat and she squeezed the fat into a pile, filled the gourd with wine, handed it to Erzhu Dad, and said: "That's because the wine made by my mother does not add water, and the business is done with integrity, and no one can deceive the old!"

Father Er Zhu took the wine, touched his pocket, smiled awkwardly, and said embarrassingly: "I was in a hurry to go out, I forgot to bring money, I will ask my mother-in-law to bring it to you later!"

"It's okay, Er Zhu's father, I'll give you this wine."

"What's the fun of it then?"

"Every time you go hunting with Erzhu, don't you distribute the prey to the villagers? They belong to the neighbors, so don't be so extravagant!"

"Okay, then I'll take it!"

At this time, a seven or eight-year-old boy hurried over and cried, "Uncle Mo, Mo... aunt, you go... save my sister, go... save my sister..."

Aunt Mo shouted into the room: "Master, please stop busy, come out quickly, something seems to be wrong with Jinyi!"

Erzhu's father asked, "Jinyu, don't cry, speak slowly, save your sister, what's going on?"

A square-looking man came out of the wine shop. The man held a bowl of water and handed it to the little boy named Jinyu: "Son, drink some water first. Don't be afraid, we are all here!"

The little boy drank the water quickly, and said in one breath: "Uncle Mo, my sister took me to visit my mother's grave earlier, we were walking on the mountain road, and suddenly something fell from the sky, my sister immediately pushed me away, but my sister and I That thing fell down together..."

"Jinyu, where is the place, take us there quickly!" Uncle Mo hugged Xiao Jinyu directly and left, Aunt Mo and Father Erzhu quickly followed.

......................................................

Chen Shiyi opened her eyes and looked at the gloomy sky. The drizzle was cool on her face, and there was severe pain in her left calf. These all proved that she was still alive!

"I'm still alive, I'm really lucky!" Chen Shixi murmured.Her voice was hoarse, and she made a grinding sound, which was extremely unpleasant.

"If the young master wakes up, can he get off the little girl's body? If someone else sees it, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding!"

A soft and pleasant voice came from under him, startling Chen Shiyi, and before Chen Shiyi could recover, he saw a bloated woman rushing over with two men not far away, One of the men is holding a little boy, and the other man is wearing a bamboo hat. Their clothes are the same as those of the ancients. Could it be that they are filming a film and television drama?

With a "bang", Chen Shiyi was kicked far away by the man in the hat, and his left leg rubbed and rolled on the ground in pain. Chen Shixi's eyes turned white and he passed out.

Aunt Mo pulled Xiao Jinyi up and hurriedly asked, "Jinyi, are you okay?"

"Jinyi is fine, thank you uncle and aunt!"

"Sister!" The little boy got down from Uncle Mo's arms and threw himself into Xiao Jinyi's arms, sobbing.

"It's okay, don't cry, Yu'er, sister is okay!" Xiao Jinyi knew that the younger brother must be very worried, so she stroked his little head distressedly.

"This fellow is too careless to be beaten, he passed out with one kick!" Er Zhu's father squatted beside Chen Shiyi and said.

"You are so strong, it's not bad that you didn't kick someone to death!" Uncle Mo walked over, looked at Chen Shishi and said, "This man is so strange. His hair is cut so short. Could it be that he is a monk? He also wears weird clothes. And this bag, have you seen this kind of bag?"

"I haven't seen it! You don't know much about it, I don't know!" Er Zhu father looked around with Chen Shiyi's mountaineering bag, but he didn't know how to open it.

"Okay, stop discussing this, you two, and think about how to deal with this man. He seems to have a broken leg. If you delay, no one will die!" Aunt Mo reminded.

"Master Mo, tell me, send me to an official or not?"

"The government will treat his injuries?"

"No, but he will be sent to do corvée!"

"I don't know whether this person is good or evil. We should send him to the hospital first and wait until he wakes up!"
