Mountain God's Wife

"These days, there seems to be a lot of martial law in the city, and I don't know what happened."

Unknowingly, autumn is coming to an end, the severe winter is approaching, the menu of Ruan Yan's inn has also been changed, because there are so many guests, every time the inn buys a large number of dishes, Ruan Yan and her mother Usually, Zhu Ke and Hu Liu pull back after ordering a good meal together, and they see the bustling streets getting quieter and quieter, the smiles on the faces of people coming and going are much less, and there are yamen servants walking among the crowd , the atmosphere was quite stagnant.

"I don't know what happened, but don't worry about it, just do our business and live your own life."

Mother Ruan took her daughter and said that the scars on her face have faded a lot thanks to the ointment given by Zixi these days, because her face was burned too badly at the beginning, and it took so many years without treatment, so her face is like It is more difficult to completely cure than Doctor Squirrel predicted.

Ruan's mother was not in a hurry. It was a great surprise to learn from Zixi that her face could be cured. She is so old, and she doesn't expect to show this face to others. She just hopes that it will not scare her. It's good to go to people.

Now the scar on her face has faded by more than half, and if she doesn't cover her face, she won't scare the child into tears. When the scar faded so quickly, Mother Ruan realized that the ointment that Zixi gave her might be very precious .

Mother Ruan felt embarrassed that an elder accepted such an expensive gift from a younger generation. It is not easy for a girl to do business outside. How should she return the gift for spending so much on herself?

"The Chaohe Festival is coming soon, can Miss Zixi come back and join in the fun?"

The Chaohe Festival in Wangshui County is a festival for people to worship the river god and pray for good weather. It is a unique festival in Wangshui County. Businessmen pray for wealth and young men and women pray for love. They always feel that the river god is in charge of everything.

There is also a saying that it is to commemorate the girl who died in the river and failed to wait for her lover. In order to appease her grievances, people made this festival.

But now the second argument is not much. Whenever this festival, people will go to worship the river god.

It's a pity that they don't know that the River God disappeared many, many years ago, even before the city was established.

"Zi Xi said she would come." Ruan Yan said.

"That's good. I accepted such an expensive gift from her back then, so how can I repay the favor?" Mother Ruan covered her face and sighed.

"Mother, don't worry, just leave this matter to my daughter." Ruan Yan knew that Zi Xi's ointment had added countless treasures from heaven and earth.

Even a treasure that cannot be found in the world, it is impossible for their mother and daughter to give gifts of the same value in return, so she can only try her best to repay Master Zixi.

"Pa-ta... Pa-ta..." Ruan Yan suddenly heard the sound of shuffling footsteps in the crowd, looking for the sound, and saw a string of wet footprints as expected.

Why did the little monster in the river come out suddenly?Isn't it inconvenient?Ruan Yan looked curiously at the hurried back of the familiar monster not far away, and pinched a letter in her hand, like the letter Cheng Yutuo himself brought to her before.

Could it be that something happened to Cheng Yu?Otherwise, why did she suddenly come out of the river.

"Ninny, what are you looking at?" Mother Ruan asked her daughter who suddenly slowed down.

"I just saw a friend of Cheng Yu's. She...is not here on weekdays, but I met her today. It's a coincidence."

Ruan Yan naturally didn't dare to tell the truth to her mother, saying that there was a monster in front of her, so she made up a half-truth and half-false story.

"Cheng Yu, that girl recently got married, she should be embroidering her wedding gown at home now, her friend should have come to congratulate her," Mother Ruan said.

"Marriage discussion? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?" Ruan Yan was extremely surprised. The last time she went to see Cheng Yu, the other party didn't reveal this to herself at all.

And at that time, her complexion was not good at all. The usually lively and cheerful girl became a little decadent, and she didn't feel like a bride-to-be at all.

"It happened a few days ago. It was about the second son of old Pengtou. Lao Pengtou ran a rice shop and his family was well-off. Cheng Yu married at least enough to eat and drink." Mother Ruan told herself what she had heard from others. Tell your daughter.

Jade?Why doesn't she look like her, Ruan Yan murmured in her heart.

"How is the character of the second son of the old Pengtou's family? It doesn't matter if she looks average, the important thing is that she must be treated well."

Ever since her father was in front of her, Ruan Yan felt even more important how important the character of the person she married was.

If he is an unscrupulous person, no matter how talented and rich he is, it is useless. The one who suffers is the married woman. Cheng Yu has a good relationship with her, and she wants to know more about it.

"Lao Pengtou's second son...mother doesn't know, I just heard from people outside. It is his elder brother who is helping his father with his business outside. I heard that he is a good one. He is capable and kind-hearted. In the twelfth lunar month, so many beggars survived by relying on the porridge shack he opened.

As for the second son, he has not lived here since he was a child. He heard that he was not in good health and was sent outside for recuperation. If he is kind, his firstborn son is like his father, so his second son should also be good. "

Ruan's mother can only guess like this, after all, she is new here, so she doesn't understand anything, let alone the locals who don't know about Lao Pengtou's second son, let alone her.

"Being a good father and brother doesn't mean he is a good man. Alas, I hope Cheng Yu can meet a good husband."

"That girl must be luckier than me." Mother Ruan also hoped that the lively little girl would have a good home.

After shopping back, Ruan Yan put the matter behind her, never thought that the little monster would find the door by itself, and instead of going through the main door, turned over the window.

She should be thankful that she and Ruan Yan have often met in the past two days, so she became familiar with Zixi, otherwise she would be knocked out without even being able to touch the window or the wall.

"Miss Ruan!" The little monster knocked over the window and knelt down in front of Ruan Yan with a plop.

Ruan Yan was startled, and hurriedly tried to pull her up.

"If you have something to say, don't kneel down to me! This can shorten your life!"

"Miss Ruan! Please, introduce the Lord Mountain God for me!" The little monster couldn't get up, and Ruan Yan couldn't hold her back either.

"Tell me what it is first. If the Lord Mountain God agrees, she will meet you."

Ruan Yan didn't respond immediately, because she didn't know what the little monster wanted to do.

What if it is something that embarrasses Master Zixi?So she had to ask first.

"I, I..." The little monster hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "I want to ask the Lord Mountain God to help me undo a curse, among the gods, men, ghosts and monsters I can come into contact with, I am afraid that she is the only one who can do it! "
