The face represents a person's reputation and status, big and small, dispensable, can be bought or borrowed, can be rewarded or retained, can be filled or filled, can be fought for or lost, gain is easy to lose, lost is difficult to find.

At this time, Zheng En had already ripped off the wide robe that the old skeleton was carrying with a thin bamboo pole shelf, restoring her original appearance as a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman is about forty years old, although she lives in seclusion in the mountains, her clothes are still clean and neat, but her face exudes a sad and complaining atmosphere, especially the downward pursed lips and the cheeks that tremble slightly due to the subconscious clenching of her teeth, which makes people feel that she seems to have a great grudge, sharpening her teeth from time to time, ready to bite.

"Kill if you want!" The sound was like a cold snap, almost freezing to death.

"You didn't harm us, why should we kill you!" Zheng En saw the woman's eyes welling up with tears, and said even more kindly: "Don't be afraid, we are good people!"

"Sometimes it's a good guy, sometimes it's a bad guy!" It depends on who you meet!" The lazy worm crawled up, rubbed his buttocks, and played a majestic role: "You say, why do you hide in the mountains and pretend to be ghosts? Are you a robber who robs houses and houses, or a businessman who specializes in making human meat buns? To put it innocently, it's another matter; if you don't say a shallot mixed with tofu, then don't blame me for being a lazy man who is not polite! A lazy man shoulders the morality of the world, but he is a single-minded man to eliminate harm!"

The girl sat up and said stubbornly, "Auntie, I have nothing to do with pretending to be a ghost, what do you have to do with you little rabbit cub?

"I won't kill, I won't chop, I'll keep you to cook and drink for me every day, wash clothes and feet, fan in summer, and warm the quilt in winter-"

The lazy insect was dancing and saying witticisms, and the girl suddenly jumped up, grabbed the large and small stones on the ground, and smashed them like cannons.

"Ouch, you're murdering your husband!" called the lazy worm as it dodged around the tree.

"Shameless thing, dare to bully my wife!" A short and fat man dressed like a rich businessman suddenly burst out from behind the tree with a rosacea nose, nest eyes, blue and black pimples, wearing a brocade robe and a soft Tang scarf.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen men armed with knives, guns, and clubs sprang out of the woods, surrounding the sloth, Zheng En, the woman, and the girl.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?" cried the lazy worm.

The man pointed at the girl and the woman, and said angrily, "I have just said that she is my wife, and that is my mother-in-law! You little rabbit cub, shameless thing, dare to bully them, don't you look for death?" As he spoke, he slapped the lazy worm in the face.

Although the lazy insect is not yet thirteen years old, and he has been wandering and begging in the city since he was a child, and his face is very thick-skinned, but when he thinks that he is playing playful in front of other people's wives and being scolded by other men, his face is still red to the root of his ears. He couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, how dare he fight back, his neck shrank, and he turned around and ran.

When the man saw the lazy worm fleeing, he suddenly pulled out a chain from his waist and called it, and chased after his ass with a "whoosh" and hit it. Thanks to Zheng En, he called out "hidden weapon", and the lazy worm responded to the ground, and only then did he unload his strength when he weighed the weight and rubbed his buttocks, but he didn't hurt his bones.

The man knocked down the lazy worm, took the weighing, and walked to the girl who was chasing the lazy worm, and said: "My little darling, you want to kill me, and you are anxious to kill me! The night of candles in the cave room is one of the four joys of life, and you should have tasted the sweet taste, but I don't know whether you were drunk or how to do it, and you fell asleep with both eyes." When I woke up the next morning, I touched it with my hand, and you were not in bed, so I hurriedly searched everywhere. I searched inside and outside the house, but I couldn't find your shadow.

"What's going on? I thought about it, and I couldn't figure it out for days.

"In terms of appearance, I'm not very handsome, and I'm a few years older, but I can't be used as money at my age, and I can't be used as face when I look at my appearance!

"In terms of character, although I dare not say that I am a moral model, I think that what I do is worthy of the county government and the people of the town. My 'Xinyi Oil Mill' talks about Xinyi, which is affirmed by the inscription of the county magistrate; and I am 'the home of accord' and 'Zephi Township', which is also the honor given to me by the county master with an inscription. Take care of the affairs of the town, be honest, conscientious and responsible, work for the benefit of the townspeople, work hard, who doesn't praise me for being a good official?

"Take your house, for example. In order to make your business profitable, I arranged for the servants at home and the guards to come to your shop to buy goods; I also asked Mrs. Li, the proprietress of the restaurant, to help you contact the business and let you earn more money. Your family has no money in the antique business, I asked my restaurant to lend you 400 taels of silver, is there any such thing? Later, I lost my capital, your mother was so angry that she fell seriously ill, who helped your family raise money for medicine, and asked for medical treatment? You urgently need money, transfer the store, contact the receiver, negotiate a high price, take inventory of the goods, and deliver the silver, which thing I didn't let people do their best to help you? Your mother is well, you have no money, I make an exception to let you work in the restaurant, and the salary is high, is this thing false or true? I have a good heart, I am benevolent, I pity the weak and the poor, I help what I should help, I do what I should do, you tell me in front of everyone, what point am I sorry for you?

"You think it's slow to work in a restaurant and make money, and you want to get rich. You ask Shopkeeper Liu to find you a man. 'Whether you are old or young, blind or lame, as long as you have money,' these are your exact words, do you recognize it? When I heard this, I was a little worried. Sugar daddy is the fastest way to get rich, I know this, but if you marry a non-righteous gentleman, you may also jump into the fire pit. I said to Shopkeeper Liu: This girl is so smart and beautiful, you have to use some heart to find out the bottom line. Don't marry a bad person, you will be deceived and suffer in the future, so that I will be embarrassed by the leader, and I will be left with the handle of not caring about caring for the townspeople. Shopkeeper Liu picked up and chosen, and the few rich people in Fang Yuan were either too old, or they had strange tempers, and there was no suitable one, so they said to me, otherwise, if you are kind and accept her as an outer room, it can be regarded as saving her in an emergency.

"I said, help her, you can't take her as an outer room. Those who know say that I have a good heart and pity the poor, and those who don't know don't say that I take advantage of the danger of others and bully other girls?

Shopkeeper Liu said that there is a reason for everything in the world and a rule. The amount of money she owes is not ten taels or eighty taels, and you have helped her, but there are so many poor people in the town who are in difficulty, and who have lost money in business, will you help them? If you don't help anything else, you just divide the distance and the distance, and she will have bad discussions; but if you help them all, can you help her? It is better to take her as an outer room, and it is natural to help her no matter how you want.

"It is the righteousness of man to cherish the weak and pity the poor. When Shopkeeper Liu said this, it would be unkind and unjust if I didn't agree. I promised to come down and let Shopkeeper Liu ask you.

"You have a good character, a high talent, a rich and handsome person in front of everyone in the restaurant, and you have admired me for a long time, but you can't express it, and you praise me as a flower, and I am embarrassed to hear it. I asked the shopkeeper Liu to ask you if you were just entertaining, but if you said this, can I still not agree? You said it yourself in front of everyone, did I say it in vain?"

......

The man was reasonable, poured out the merits of benevolence and righteousness, told the grievances of being a good person and could not be rewarded, and accused the other party of being ungrateful, but the mother and daughter were indifferent, still staring angrily, with a posture of being ready to fight desperately.

The retinue was also chattering with each other for help:

"Marrying a person is the first priority, Brother Lu accumulates blessings and does good, and the word righteousness comes first, where can I find such a good person?"

"Yes, Brother Lu is an all-round talent, you are worthy of him, a talented and beautiful woman, a natural pair, how good!"

"It's hard to find people like Brother Lu with lanterns. The girl within a radius of a hundred miles couldn't count it if she wanted to. A few days ago, there was a girl who hanged herself because she couldn't catch up with Brother Lu!

"Brother Lu accepts you as an outer room, this is to accumulate blessings and do good, to save you from the sea of suffering, and to give you a glorious tomorrow!"

"Think about it, although your debt was only four hundred taels at the beginning, now the principal and interest add up to more than one thousand. Even if you work several jobs a day, day and night, you won't be able to pay it back for a few lifetimes. With Brother Lu, the debt will be paid off for you, and the house will be bought for you. Eat, drink, and dress as you want, eat whatever you want, wear whatever you want. Even the high-end clothes and jewelry of Bianjing City will also be bought for you, and the specialty dishes of the imperial chef in the palace will also have the opportunity to take you to Bianjing City to taste. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"Eating, drinking, and dressing are still secondary, the key is that you follow Brother Lu, scratch the dung chicken and become a golden phoenix, and your status has improved. With face, who in the town doesn't stammer, this benefit can't be said, everyone in the world knows it, don't you know?"

"Yes, Brother Lu is happy, give you a business to manage, you are the boss shopkeeper, who dares not to give a smile when he sees you, I am afraid that the officials of the county government will also smile at you and treat you thoughtfully!"

"Yes, you're in charge of a lot of people. Let them go east and not west, let them beat dogs, no one dares to pick chickens, and the feeling of giving orders is the greatest enjoyment of life. This is the value of life, do you understand, sister-in-law?"

"Speak honestly, you chased the eldest brother, caught up, and ran away again on the night of the cave room, isn't this a flash marriage and a cheat!"

"This is called releasing pigeons, it is a violation of national law!"

......

"You can't talk nonsense! Is Miss Xiao such a person? What is it, Miss Xiao is dissatisfied, it must be my fault!" The man was tolerant and generous to his entourage, and then turned to the mother and daughter and said, "I've been thinking about what I'm wrong all these days, thinking about it, maybe it's a sin created by face!"

"I didn't give enough bride price, I bought too little clothes and jewelry, the wedding was too simple, there was no big banquet, I didn't invite relatives and friends, there was no sedan chair parade on the street, there was no loudspeaker accompaniment, I'm so sorry for a beauty like you!

"People live with a face, trees live with a skin, you grow so big, it's the first time you get married. I did it too simply, so you lost face, and it is human nature that you are not satisfied. It's my fault, I don't blame you, only myself. Okay, come back with me, I'll give you face, treat you in the restaurant, invite a class of ringers, sing a three-day drama, and re-engage for a few days, okay?"

The retinue also followed and persuaded with nonsense:

"Little sister-in-law, the eldest brother admits his mistake, you can forgive him!"

"As the saying goes, 'Thick-skinned, eat enough.'" Face seems to be important, but in fact it is worthless. Don't be too face-conscious, it's still affordable!"

"Yes, yes, the face of the wedding is temporary, and the long-term face is important!"

"Yes, the wedding was held a little sloppily, but you will be the eldest brother's person in the future, who dares to disrespect and who dares to be disrespectful, where to do things, who dares not to give face?"

"What is face, being rich and powerful is face, in the future, you will spend your eldest brother's money and use your power, isn't this a long-term face?"

"As long as you are obedient, the eldest brother will not treat you badly. If you become the shopkeeper of a restaurant, you are a celebrity in the business world, and your face will be even greater!"

"As the saying goes, it rains in the sky, and the little couple fights without holding grudges, fighting with blood during the day, and sleeping on a pillow at night. Living with two people is a long-term thing, and there is no problem that cannot be solved. Let's go, come back with us!"

"Big brother hired dozens of workers to find you, went to Shaanxi, Hubei, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Sichuan, Shu, Tiannanhaibei, and spent a lot of silver. Two bundles of paper and dozens of spindles of ink were used to send out the missing person notice! Isn't this enough?"

"You and the eldest brother have a fate in the previous life, and your heart is in touch, otherwise a few days ago, a few people digging medicine said that they had met a ghost here, and the news reached the ears of the eldest brother, how could he immediately think of you? This is the fairy manifestation, is it secretly matching you to reunite together after breaking the mirror! Let's go, let's go back quickly! The sedan chair is waiting at the bottom of the mountain!"

......

Although the man's face was indecent, he was not very ugly, and although his speech was vulgar, it was also reasonable. According to the words and deeds of his dress and the echo of his entourage, he should be a rich, powerful and faceless person. And he smiled at the mother and daughter, his expression was very stammering, and he apologized again and again!

According to common sense, this man is rich and powerful, and he has such a face, and he is so desperate to search, that the girl should be warmed a few drops of water even if her frozen heart is frozen, but when the girl suddenly saw the man, she trembled all over, her lips trembled, and she stepped back.

The hotter the man's expression, the colder the girl's expression, the more emotional the man's words, the more frightened the girl became, and the more reasonable the man's words, the more the girl trembled.

The man walked forward while talking and laughing, and the girl trembled and wept as she stepped back to the place where the knife had just fallen, and the girl suddenly bent down and grabbed the short knife, and raised her arm to wipe it off her neck.
