Verse 268: The fate of a mortal woman

Mu Sheng frowned and said, "You must have not eaten for several days, right?

Tan Taixin didn't speak, but the expression on his face seemed to prove that what Mu Sheng said was right.

Mu Sheng thought for a while and said, "You wait for me at home, I'll buy you something to eat." ”

Tan Taixin nodded, and Mu Sheng turned around and pushed the door out. Outside the door, the wind and snow are blowing, and the snow has fallen heavily at this moment, and there is a white expanse everywhere, and there are few people.

None of the surrounding people Mu Sheng knew, and judging from the indifferent appearance during the day, I am afraid it would be difficult to buy anything from them, Mu Sheng thought about it, and felt that it might be better to go to Ah Lian's house and find Ah Lian to buy something to eat and try to be more reliable.

With his mind decided, Mu Sheng hurried to Ah Lian's house with a flying pace, although without the support of spiritual power, it was a little laborious to walk on the slippery snow, but this little mountain road was just a piece of cake for Mu Sheng.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Mu Sheng came to the courtyard of the adobe house of Ah Lian's family. Before entering the house, I heard the sound of quarrels in the house.

"I don't want to marry, why do you have to force me to marry, what did I do wrong?" The loud argument floated out of the chai door with Ah Lian's crying.

Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help slowing down.

"Ah, we didn't force you! You see that your second brother is not young, if you don't marry, the girl of the Wen family will not marry into our family!" said an old and hoarse male voice in the room.

Ah Lian cried, "Do you have to marry him? Is there no other way to think of it? Do you have to change me?"

The people in the house sighed and said, "Ah, it's not that you don't know the situation of our family, and we have no other way than to marry you! I know that you have always been a sensible and well-behaved daughter, so I listened to Abba and Mommy." ”

"Sensible, well-behaved, obedient, do you know how much I have paid behind the two words of sensible? Behind the well-behaved, how many grievances I have endured, and because of being an obedient child, I have done how many things I am not willing to do, don't tell me one by one that I am sensible, well-behaved, obedient, hearing these words, I do not feel proud, nor do I feel happy, but feel pathetic, pitiful, and ridiculous. Ah Lian cried hoarsely.

"Abba and my sister don't want to marry, forget it, I'd rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than my sister suffer. A deep male voice came from inside the room.

"What are you doing here, we are doing this for your sister's good. Although the Wen family's family background is not very good, and the Wen family is also short and ugly, but in addition to the old man above, there are only two brothers and sisters below, after your sister marries, his sister marries, and he only needs to serve two old people, are you afraid that the Wen family will treat your sister badly? Besides, don't you also like other people's sisters?"

"Yes...... , but if my sister is unhappy, I'd rather not marry. Ah Lian's brother said in a muffled voice.

For a while, no one spoke in the room, and Ah Lian's crying gradually became quieter, from howling and crying to sobbing quietly. Mu Sheng stood outdoors in a dilemma, not knowing whether it was appropriate to go in at this time, and while thinking about it, he suddenly heard a female voice full of vicissitudes of life sighing and saying: "Ah Nan, this is our woman's life!"

"No----- I hate, I hate unfairness, I hate fate, I hate the world, I hate all this. Ah Lian ran out of the room crying and ran past Mu Sheng, not noticing Mu Sheng standing outside the house.

Mu Sheng was afraid that Ah Lian would not be able to think of finding a short time for a while, so he hurriedly followed quietly, only to see Ah Lian quickly run to the edge of a remote mountain cliff, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Why! Why! Why?!! Ahh!!!!h!!h

The hollow valley echoed, and Ah Lian's heart-rending cry was heard all around the valley, startling the birds in the forest to flutter and fly. After the aftermath dissipated, Ah Lian looked at the birds in the air and wept down: "Birds, it would be nice if I could be as free as you." ”

"Ah Lian, Ah Lian, where are you? Come back quickly, don't run around when it's dark. Ah Lian's father followed the sound and chased after him.

Ah Lian glanced at the road she had come, ignored her father's shouts, turned around and ran quickly towards the mountain. Mu Sheng was about to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he stopped in place.

After a while, I saw Ah Lian's father and brother chasing after them, both of them were wearing short black cotton jackets, which were covered with patches, a straw rope was tightly tied around their waists, and the cotton pants on their lower bodies were also patched.

Ah Lian's father has a pair of cotton nests on his feet, and the upper of the shoe is turned up, the cloth was originally blue, but it has faded into white at the moment.

The two of them followed the footprints to the place where Ah Lian was standing just now, and were about to continue chasing down, when Mu Sheng stood up from behind the rock and said, "You two are looking for Ah Lian, right? Let her calm down first, why bother chasing her?"

"Who are you? Ah Lian refuses to marry because of you, right?" Ah Lian's father looked at Mu Sheng with a vigilant face, and Ah Lian's brother on the side also looked at him with fierce eyes.

Mu Sheng felt that the person who was talking in front of him was probably only in his forties at most, but his hair and beard were gray, his eyes were cloudy, his teeth were sparse, and the skin on his face was like old bark, crawling with wrinkles, and the whole person looked more like a person in his sixties.

Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "My uncle misunderstood, I also met Ling Ai today." ”

"I just knew, what are you doing here?" said Ah Lian's brother angrily.

Ah Lian's brother is a sturdy young man, in his twenties, and he looks like he is powerful.

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Although I have only only known her, maybe I can help her?"

Ah Lian's father snorted coldly when he saw it: "Don't think that you can solve the matter with a little money, no matter how rich you are, our Ah Lian will not marry someone as a concubine." ”

"Uncle said with a smile, when did I say that I wanted to marry your Ah Lian as a concubine?" Mu Sheng replied with a smile.

"What do you mean, do you just want to have fun with my sister?" said Ah Lian's brother angrily, and rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, looking like he was going to come up and beat Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "You misunderstood, I have nothing to do with your family Ah Lian, but I accidentally met her today, chatted a few words, and felt that this little girl is very good." I just arrived in your village today, I am not familiar with the place, and I forgot to buy food, I originally wanted to go to your house to buy some rice, flour, oil, salt and eggs and other things, but I thought that I would meet you arguing, I overheard two sentences, I think Ah Lian, this girl, has a strong personality, if you are in a hurry, in case she makes any radical moves, then you are afraid that the gains outweigh the losses!"
