The fingers pressed on the lower abdomen of the girl in the red dress through the clothes, and the soft and elastic touch from the fingertips caused strange ripples in Zhang Xiaopaw's heart, and his breathing and heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster.

Although he and the finch have mutual affection, at most they secretly pull their little hands, and have never had more intimate contact, so this is the first time he has had such intimate contact with the opposite sex, which is both embarrassing and ashamed, with a trace of strange restlessness in the middle.

Touching on the topic of the opposite sex, Zhang Xiaopaw naturally appeared in his mind, and the strange ripples in his heart instantly calmed down, and his restlessness turned into restlessness, like a cat stealing fish, for fear of being caught by the finch.

Thinking of the finch and the fact that the man was waiting for him to return home, Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly felt like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to step back to Liujia Village.

He wanted to find a secluded place where no one was around, just him and the finch, looking at the moon and the stars in the sky, and telling her all the amazing experiences of these days, so that she could also experience the wonders of the outside world. Of course, he will downplay the dangerous part, so as not to frighten the finch and make her worried.

He was going to show the finch all the powerful skills he had acquired these days, and let her know how powerful and mighty her man had become, and that his arms and shoulders were strong and reliable, and that he could give her a warm home.

He can even hold the finch and gallop like the wind, so that the finch can really experience the sense of flight.

Of course, this must be avoided by the people in the village, otherwise the group of long-tongued old ladies will see him and the finch hugging each other intimately, and they will have to laugh at the two of them.

For a while, Zhang Xiaopaw's mind and heart were all stuffed with finch, so that the movements of his hands were negligent, and the barbs he pulled out brought out a handful of minced meat, the wound wound expanded, and the blood flowed.

"Hmm-" The girl in the red dress couldn't help it, gritting her teeth and snorting.

Zhang Xiaopaw was startled, and hurriedly sprinkled hemostatic powder on the wound, and apologized at the same time: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”

"It doesn't matter. The girl in the red dress said. She could feel that Zhang Xiaopaw was distracted, but she didn't pursue it, but changed the subject and said, "Do you know that I was supposed to have two sibling brothers and an older sister, but they all died before they were minors. ”

I don't know if it was because she exposed her vulnerable side after being injured, or if she thought Zhang Xiaopaw was a good person to talk to, the girl in the red dress seemed to open the conversation, and she didn't know why, anyway, she just wanted to talk, and what she wanted to say.

"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaopu was surprised and asked, "Did they all die from your family's martial arts practice?

"Not really. The girl in the red dress shook her head and said, "My compatriot eldest brother was three years old for the first time to undergo the marrow washing and cutting veins, because the meridians were fragile, he could not withstand the impact, and died violently on the spot. But my compatriot's second brother is very talented, he is the best of his age, and his knowledge and cultivation are far beyond those of his sister-in-law, but when he was thirteen years old, he was accidentally assassinated on the street. My father said that the second brother was assassinated by the enemy, but my mother said that the eldest lady was jealous of talent, and was afraid that the second brother would take away the family power of her eldest sister-in-law when he grew up to be talented, so he sent someone to strangle my second brother. My sister killed herself by swinging a sword in the boudoir last year because the family decided to marry her to the second son of the Zhou family as a concubine in order to bring the two families closer. The second son of the Zhou family was a well-known merry son, just twenty-eight years old, but he had already accepted more than 30 concubines. It is rumored that he often asks his concubines to receive fox friends who serve him. My sister has a strong temperament and is unwilling to be humiliated, but she is powerless to change the family's decision, and she can only die. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw half-opened his mouth, the whole person was stunned, he even forgot the work in his hand, and felt like he was listening to a story, but the bleak expression and sad voice of the woman in the red dress told him that these were true.

"It's too-too-too-" Zhang Xiaopaw opened his mouth for a long time, not thinking of the right words to describe these tragedies.

"Don't stop, I just say you can listen, just listen to a story. The girl in the red dress reminded Zhang Xiaopaw.

"Oooh. I'm sorry. You go on. Zhang Xiaopaw said busily, while the work in his hands continued, but his movements became softer and more cautious, as if he took pity on the girl in the red dress.

Speaking and listening to each other, it also resolved the embarrassment of intimate contact.

"When my mother gave birth to me, her body was broken, and she couldn't be reborn, but she had no children under her knees, and I am afraid that no one will wake her soul after a hundred years. The girl in the red dress continued, "Fortunately, in the past two years, she seems to have seen a little, and her life is no longer as depressed and low as before, but she does ideological work for me every day, for fear that I will follow in my sister's footsteps." I promised her that I wouldn't be as stupid as my sister, and that it would be better to die than to live, and said that when she didn't have a son to send her to the end after a hundred years, I would go back to my parents' house to send her to the end, just because I was afraid that my in-laws' family would not agree. ”

"Hey, how easy it is for the women of a big family to marry a wishful husband who is satisfactory to them! They are born to be objects used in family marriages!" the girl in the red dress lamented, "However, fate is doomed, but the result is still negotiable." As long as I'm good enough, I'll have a certain say, at least not to be thrown to a hooligan like my sister. As long as I am good enough, even if I don't ask for it, the family will take the initiative to choose a young handsome man for me, because they will always find a way to maximize the benefits of any item. So—"

The girl in the red dress took a deep breath and said sonorously: "What I need to do is to become better!"

"Maybe you can leave here and go to a place where no one knows you, start a new life, and take control of your own destiny!" Zhang said.

The girl in the red dress looked up at Zhang Xiaopai and said: "If you are good enough, you don't need to escape, if you are not good enough, you don't need to escape from the protection of the family, a weak woman who is in a different place, not to mention whether she will be targeted by people's teeth, even if she is allowed to fight, what kind of life can she spell? Women are not like you men, leaving the shelter of home is basically equivalent to going to hell." ”

Zhang Xiaopaw felt that the world in which the girl in the red dress lived was complex and cruel, and it was not something he could understand for the time being, so he stopped talking, just like the girl in the red dress said before, she said that she just listened.

The barbs on the lower abdomen had all been pulled out, and Zhang Xiaopaw went around behind the girl in the red dress again.

The girl in the red dress continued: "A man's excellence only needs to be strong enough to be recognized by everyone, while a woman's excellence must be a combination of appearance, talent and cultivation, and all three are indispensable in order to be recognized by everyone." Do you think the world is too unfair to us women?"

Zhang Xiaopaw did not answer, because he felt that no matter whether a man or a woman, as long as they are kind-hearted, hard-working, and diligent and thrifty, they are excellent. For example, his finches, with ordinary appearance, no talent, let alone cultivation, but she is kind-hearted, able to endure hardships, diligent and thrifty, and knows how to take care of people, in his heart she is the best mother-in-law in the world.

The girl in the red dress didn't ask Zhang Xiaopaw for the answer, and continued: "I am fortunate to inherit the appearance of my mother, although it is not as beautiful as the city and the country, but I am also quite confident, in terms of appearance alone, I am not inferior to any woman in Baiyun City." ”

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't make an evaluation, because he hadn't carefully appreciated the appearance of the woman in the red dress from beginning to end.

"In terms of talent, I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I dare not say that it is exquisite, but at least I am familiar with it and perform well. In addition, I have dabbled in arithmetic, national history, geography, astronomy, Dandao pharmacy and other knowledge, and even said that I have invited teachers, so in terms of talent, I am also confident that I am outstanding among my peers. ”

"In terms of cultivation, I am sixteen years old, and I am not very talented, but among my peers, including men of the same age, I am also a dazzling leader. ”

"Appearance, talent, and cultivation, I have both, but I still lose, which is also my most fatal flaw and weakness. ”

"Ah, what is it?!" Zhang Xiaopaw asked in surprise, listening to the story of the girl in the red dress, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself, feeling that he was useless except for farming and hunting, but the girl in the red dress was already so good but also said that she had defects, which made him feel that the girl in the red dress had too high requirements for herself.

"I'm a concubine, and I've been destined to be inferior since the day I was born, and I can't change it no matter how hard I try. The girl in the red dress smiled helplessly.

"What is a concubine?" asked Zhang Xiaopu, puzzled.

The girl in the red dress smiled dumbly, and said: "I really don't know where you grew up, but you don't know the concubine? The concubine refers to the children born to the wife, and the concubine is the child born to the concubine, and the status of the concubine's children in the family is not as good as the eldest maid in the wife's room, is it ridiculous? In other words, my best destination is to marry a man who is also a concubine, or to stoop down to marry. And my sisters who are not as good as me, just because they are concubines, they can easily find a happy marriage, if they are wronged in the husband's family, they can also go back to their parents' house to complain, let their mother's family come forward to make decisions for her, but a concubine like me, after marrying out, whether they are dead or alive can only be left to fate, and the family will never come forward for a concubine. ”

"You big families really have a lot of rules!" Zhang Xiaopaw had to sigh, like their Liujia Village, there are no such bad things.

"Do you know who I'm most angry with?" asked the girl in the red dress.

"Who?"

"Second Miss of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Rulan. The girl in the red dress gritted her teeth and said, she seemed to hate Qin Rulan very much.

"Ahh

"Huh, do you know her?" The girl in the red dress was even more surprised, she didn't expect Zhang Xiaopu to know the second lady of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Miss Qin Er has a life-saving grace for me, and she gave me my bone and muscle pills. Although there is only one side, I can see that she is a kind-hearted girl. Zhang Xiaopaw praised without hesitation. For Qin Rulan, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe" The girl in the red dress sneered, and said in a sour tone: "She saved your life and gave you the Bone Renewal Muscle Pill, but when I saw you, I wanted to take you as a slave and chased you all night, if it weren't for your wit and cultivation, I am afraid that you would have been branded with my slave mark on your forehead." In this comparison, in your heart, I am afraid that there is a difference of 108,000 miles between me and her. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't answer very interestingly, because the answer in his heart was like this. Although his impression of the girl in the red dress has changed slightly, it still can't eliminate the fear and hurt caused to him by the girl in the red dress. If you don't know each other, you will deprive others of their personal freedom and take them as slaves when they meet, such a woman, Zhang Xiaopaw really can't take off the "poisonous woman" label attached to her.
