In the sky, the stars are dense, the round moon is very much like a polished copper plate, and the faint moon light is sprinkled on the ground, making this peaceful little village seem to be covered with a veil of mystery.

And in the quaint house not far from the village, it was not quiet tonight.

This quaint house is not connected to the village.

Rather, it is built alone in the field.

It always feels like you're alone.

And at this moment in this house, Thyme is wearing a slightly simple plain white long gauze skirt, and looks calmly at the group of women with children who want to come to ask for money.

A slightly chubby woman wearing a blue cloth placket skirt pointed to the boy standing next to her and said angrily: "Look at what your children have done to my children!" ”

The boy the woman was pointing at had a lot of blood on his exposed skin, and it looked like he had been scratched.

Another woman in a light brown cardigan skirt standing behind the woman also spoke aggressively, saying, "Look how badly our children have been beaten by your children. The woman said, pointing to the five clear thumb prints on the child's face.

The other women were afraid that they would not be able to lose money when the time came, so they scrambled to talk.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Thyme was very calm on her face, but she was a little disdainful and helpless in her heart.

She's only been here for two days, and she hasn't fused well with the memories of the original owner, and there are many things that can't be connected like fragments.

What is in front of you, Thyme will know in the afternoon.

The reason was that four-year-old Xiahou Yuchen went to play in the village, but because of a few wrong words, he fought with the children in the village, but Xiahou Yuchen was a four-year-old child, and these children in front of him, even the youngest was about five years old, how could the scars on the faces and bodies of these children be caused by a four-year-old child.

It's just an attempt to blackmail her money.

Xiahou Yuchen puffed out his cheeks, looking unconvinced: "Mother, these injuries are not caused by me, you look at the scars on his face, obviously scratched by his nails, but I don't have any nails." After saying that, Xiahou Yuchen was worried that Thyme would not believe it, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand.

The nails on those ten short fingers were neatly trimmed.

Thyme just glanced at it, and before she could speak, the slightly chubby woman in the blue cardigan skirt yelled at Xiahou Yuchen fiercely: "You didn't scratch it, could it be that I scratched it!" My child fought with you, many people have seen this incident, do you still want to quibble and admit it? And you might have cut your nails when you got home! I knew how to lie at a young age, and how could I get it when I grew up. ”

The woman was fierce, and the other people behind her who supported her were also menacing.

Xiahou Yuchen was so frightened that he could only hide behind Thyme, grabbing Thyme's clothes with his small hands.

Xiahou Yuchen's fear of thyme felt it, and thyme was a little angry.

These people just want to blackmail money, if they can't understand this, she will be in vain for more than 20 years.

Thyme has not spoken, which does not mean that it is easy to bully, on the contrary, the more Thyme is tolerated now, the more it proves the anger in Thyme's heart.

Holding back the anger in his heart, he said, "I can compensate you for the money, ten cents per person." Thyme's face did not change, and to outsiders, it was a light and breezy appearance.

As soon as he heard that he would only lose ten cents, the chubby woman in the blue cardigan skirt quit.

"Ten cents is not enough to compensate my child for this hardship, at least fifty cents." The woman guessed that thyme had silver, otherwise a woman with a child and could live a good life without doing anything, and she would have a family.

Thyme hates the most is the insatiable person, snorted coldly, and thought she was a bully: "Your child is injured, and my child is also injured, or I will also ask you to pay money?" What's more, you are so many children bullying my child, my Chen'er is full of black greens, I thought that everyone lives in the same place, I don't look down and don't look up, I pay you some money to buy candy for the child, you are really energetic? ”

The woman in the blue cloth skirt thought that she was also the leader in the middle, and when she saw Thyme, she said nothing: "Is your child's injury as serious as mine?" Look at this face, how will you see people in the future. So saying, the woman pulled the child forward and pointed to the wound on her face to show thyme.

Thyme just glanced at it lightly, and then looked at the woman with disdain: "Do you really think I am blind?" Is the scar on your child's face really scratched by my child? The nail mark is so big, even if my child's nails get longer, it is impossible to scratch the scar of your mark, and your son's face, are you sure that my child hit it? Thyme looked sharply at the other woman who was taking the lead.

The woman in the light brown skirt couldn't help but feel a little weak when she heard thyme's analysis.

The child's injury was deliberately caused by them, in order to want to blackmail thyme's money, because of the matter of the lotus root pond, they all thought that thyme was a good bully, so they would entangle a few women who were usually better to make trouble in front of thyme's door.

I wanted Thyme to pay more money, but I didn't want Thyme to see the clues in the middle. And thyme is not as easy to bully as imagined.

Seeing the evasive eyes of the two women who took the lead, Thyme then said to the woman in the light brown cardigan skirt: "Your child is half a body taller than my Chen'er, but you can tell me how my son slapped your child, even if you say that your child was beaten by my Chen'er when he bowed his head, then let me ask you, these five clear thumb prints can really be made by a four-year-old child?" Thyme pointed to the thumbprint on the child's face.

Speaking of this, Thyme endured for a moment and continued: "Don't say that I didn't remind you, don't think I'm a bully if I don't say anything, if you want the ten cents today, take it and leave, don't try to blackmail me, no one is a fool, no one is easy to bully, if you are not convinced, we will go to Lizheng to reason, if we are not convinced, we can go to the county government again." ”

After saying that, Thyme took out the money bag and counted the copper coins.

The women standing behind did not hesitate, so they directly stepped forward to take the copper coin, and left directly, they didn't want to go to Lizheng, they also lost when they went, and the children of the women behind did not participate in the fight between the children in the afternoon.

I'm here to get cheap money.

The two women who took the lead were very unconvinced, but they still reluctantly took the money, and they didn't dare to go to Lizheng.

The two women took the money unwillingly, and the slightly chubby woman wearing a blue cloth cardigan skirt whispered with a disdainful face: "What are you doing, I don't know where the child came from, saying that the husband's family is doing business abroad, and I haven't seen him for so many years, maybe it's a wild seed born with someone who is not in order." ”

When Xiahou Yuchen heard this, he raised his head indignantly and said to Thyme: "Mother, they are too much. ”

Thyme naturally heard these words, but she didn't want to cause trouble, and she was so wronged and lost money today in order not to make things bigger.

Closing the door and looking back at Xiahou Yuchen, he said sharply, "Kneel." ”

Xiahou Yuchen knew that he was wrong, and he also knew that he really made Thyme angry this time, so he knelt in front of Thyme without hesitation.

As soon as Xiahou Yuchen knelt down, he shrugged his shoulders one by one, and kept sobbing, that poor little touch looked heartbreaking.

Seeing this, Thyme didn't pay attention to it, but said sharply: "Don't use this pitiful appearance to win my sympathy, this trick is useless to me." ”

God knows that Xiahou Yuchen made mistakes in the past two days, and he looked at her with this pitiful appearance, but as soon as she forgave him, he continued to make mistakes.

As soon as Thyme finished speaking, Xiahou Yuchen raised his head, stared straight at the woman with a pair of big watery eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother, the child knows that he is wrong, and he will never take the initiative to provoke those children in the village in the future, but today it is really not me who provoked them, it is they who say bad things about their mother in front of me, I can't help but ......!" ”

Thyme has never been a hard-hearted person, and when she saw Xiahou Yuchen's pitiful appearance, her heart softened in vain.

said that he didn't eat Xiahou Yuchen's set, but his heart was already so soft that he couldn't do it.

After all, Thyme still can't bear it, Xiahou Yuchen is only four years old after all, and that child doesn't make mistakes.

"Arise, then! Does it still hurt? Thyme's face was full of pity, and she stretched out her hand and pulled Xiahou Yuchen up from the ground.

Xiahou Yuchen was pulled up by thyme, the grievances on his face were still pitiful, and he was instantly replaced by a smile: "It doesn't hurt, I really know it's wrong, I will try to go to the village as little as possible in the future, I'm sorry I'm sorry I've caused you trouble again." ”

Thyme reached out and touched the boy's head, and without saying a word, she went into the house.

Xiahou Yuchen looked at the slender back of thyme with some confusion, and always felt that thyme seemed to be wrong there for the past two days.

Thyme walked into the room and turned to close the door.

saw Xiahou Yuchen, who was standing in the courtyard, looking at her with strange eyes.

His heart trembled suddenly, could it be that his abnormality was discovered by Xiahou Yuchen?

But it was only a brief worry, and Thyme closed the door.

Xiahou Yuchen even if he doubted it! She will be like this in the future.

Xiahou Yuchen is the son of the original owner of the body, four years old this year, why the original owner was sent here is also because of his weak personality, plus the husband doesn't like her, in the mansion, there is intrigue, thyme is very white lotus, which dooms her to a tragic ending.

Thyme was pregnant with Liujia, but she was still sent to this remote Zhuangzi by the ruthless husband.

Maybe it's really thyme hurt to the extreme, and there is only the ruthless - the vague impression of the husband in his mind, but he can't remember the appearance clearly, and the current thyme only knows that the ruthless husband is called Xiahou Chun, a famous general of the town in Southern Xia, with a prominent background and is deeply loved by the people.

To the people in the village, Thyme was fortunately not stupid enough to say that she was an abandoned woman, but said that her husband was doing business, running around, and rarely came back once a year.

Over the years, a lot of trouble has been avoided, but after a long time, it is inevitable to be suspicious.

Because there are more than two acres of lotus root pond outside the house, it was the harvest season last year, and the people in the village came to steal the lotus root, and the thyme saw it but did not blame and investigate.

It is precisely because of this that there are more rumors in the village, all of them are speculating that thyme is actually weak, and they also say that thyme is an abandoned woman, and some say that Xiahou Yuchen is actually a wild seed conceived by thyme and other men, and men don't want thyme and children, so they are sent here.

Otherwise, for so many years, I wouldn't have seen that strange man see thyme on Zhuangzi. In short, this year has been the hardest for thyme.

Just now, the women in the village came to find fault, thinking that this year's lotus root is about to ripen, and they want to test the thyme to see if the thyme is really weak and easy to bully.

Xiahou Yuchen probably also heard those slanderous words of thyme, so he fought with those children, thinking that Xiahou Yuchen "lost" his mother at such a young age, and was abandoned by that ruthless father, Thyme's heart was a pity.

In this strange world, I am afraid that only she and Xiahou Yuchen will depend on each other for their lives in the future!

Thyme sat on the round bench and looked at everything around her, everything was unfamiliar, and although she had been here for two days, she still had a strange feeling about this place.

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Thyme felt that this was excellent, at least she didn't have to face a man she didn't know and love, and she was happy to live a peaceful life in this quiet Zhuangzi. It's just that Thyme doesn't know that the gears of fate are turning again, and the rebirth of the soul is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, and naturally the fate of Thyme is not destined to be dull for a lifetime, and those characters that Thyme doesn't want to be involved in all his life will be involved after all, such as that Xiahou Chun. Of course, all this is an afterthought.

Thyme has completely accepted in her heart to become an abandoned woman that no one wants, the mother of a four-year-old boy, and this dynasty named Nanxia.

Thyme was helplessly lying on the table, and now she couldn't go back, so she could only accept the reality and think about how to take the next step.

This house looks very large and exquisite, with green bricks and tiles, and a courtyard wall about two meters high, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted in the yard, and there are many birds and animals carved on the eaves, but all this cannot hide the fact that this family is very poor.

This house is also empty.

The things in this room, Thyme couldn't help but look at it again when she thought of this, except for some simple and worthless furniture left, there were really no valuable objects.

In fact, judging from the memory of the original owner, this house was not like this, there were many valuable objects in this house before, but for so many years, a woman's family wanted to raise a child, and the means of not making money were to sell the things in this house, pawn the pawn, and finally be destitute.

Although Thyme has only been here for two days, she has already felt the pressure of life.

Although Thyme has never been married, but she likes children very much, according to memory, the original owner rarely cared about this child before, Xiahou Yuchen was only four years old, but he had already begun to cook by himself, take care of himself, and also take care of the original owner who only knew how to complain, when I thought of this, Thyme was in a bad mood.

After thinking about it, Thyme stood up and opened the door.

Seeing the thin man sitting on a pebble in the courtyard, raising his head and looking at the full moon in the sky, Thyme's heart ached: "Chen'er, can you go up the mountain with me tomorrow?" ”

Xiahou Yuchen heard Thyme's words, and his face was happy.

Thyme is willing to talk to him, which means that she is not angry with him.

After all, he was still a child, Xiahou Yuchen stood up, ran to Thyme, and hugged Thyme's waist.

"Mother, aren't you angry with me?"

In the past, Xiahou Yuchen remembered that as long as he did something wrong, Thyme would be angry, and he would be angry for a long time, and when he was angry, Thyme would not pay attention to him, neither cooking for him nor paying attention to him.

It's just that in the past two days, Xiahou Yuchen felt that Thyme's behavior was a little strange, not only told himself all the time not to go to the village to cause trouble, but even if he came back from causing trouble, Thyme still prepared meals for him on time every day, which was something that had never happened before.

But this kind of thyme, Xiahou Yuchen likes it very much, at least Xiahou Yuchen feels that the current thyme really loves him.

So in order to test whether thyme has really changed, he ran into the village every day for the past two days.

As a result, as soon as I went to the village, I heard those children gossip about thyme, which was the most intolerable thing for Xiahou Yuchen, the battle of words did not work, Xiahou Yuchen had to do it, and then there was an afternoon affair, and several children scuffled into a mess.

Xiahou Yuchen's fight is a fatal fight, and there is a kind of posture that you will bite you if you can't win. I suffered a little loss, and those children didn't fall much better.

Thyme felt a pity in her heart, this child was really sensitive, sighed, or stretched out her hand to pat Xiahou Yuchen's back and whispered: "Mother is not angry with you, but you know that the two of us are already in an embarrassing situation in the village, and losing a little silver today can solve the matter, if you really beat people out of trouble that day, it is not silver that can solve it." ”
