Chapter 3 Ridiculous
Jiang Zhuang was forging a machete for him at the Wangyuan Wai house in the east of the village, and he didn't know what was happening here. As soon as he heard that his daughter was suspected of encountering human traffickers, she threw down the work at hand and came bare-armed, without even wearing a gown.
Hongchen looked at his face in a daze.
She could scarcely recognize such a young father.
Jiang Zhuang glanced at his daughter first, and saw that he was not injured too much, so he listened to the villagers around him.
He was honest, but he was not stupid, he was shocked after hearing this, his hands and feet trembled slightly, but he straightened his face and looked coldly at the two strong men who kept saying that they had paid five taels of silver to buy a little girl.
"I am the master of the Jiang family, you want to buy people, and you also want me to sign and draw a pledge, my stupid mother-in-law is illiterate and ignorant, so she can only say what you say...... But I don't have the energy to bother with you today. ”
As he spoke, he snatched the deed of sale back, tore it into pieces, and then put it in his sleeve, and then took out a red cloth bag, picked up five taels of silver from it and threw it over.
There were so many people around, those two strong men still wanted to distinguish between them, but they didn't dare, and they had ghosts in their hearts, so they couldn't continue to argue, so they could only let Jiang Zhuang take Hongchen away.
Jiang Zhuang thanked the villagers around him, and didn't say much, just pulled Hongchen and walked slowly towards home.
Along the way, Hongchen will only stumble and follow, and his mind is blank.
Is she really back?
The Jiang family's slightly outdated loess house is right in front of them, and even the two pomegranate trees at the door are exactly the same.
The rhubarb in the yard still came to her feet and wagged his tail vigorously.
In this case, what pops up in your head is real, and the bright or dark colored light in front of you is not an illusion.
"All things are animist, all things are animist......"
She really got the spiritual master inheritance of the ancestors of the Xia family, and she was able to ignite all things and make them generate spiritual wisdom.
It turns out that the legend is true.
Hongchen subconsciously looked at the dagger in his hand, this dagger was a gift from her father, it was said to be an antiquity, but it was not very sharp, and it did not have a sheath, it was not so much a dagger as a short blade.
This is not a good thing, it is very ordinary, but at this moment she rubbed it in her hand for a long time, and subconsciously recited the mantra that came to her mind - 'Remove the filth, nourish the spirit......
When I looked at it again, I found that it emitted a clear light.
Cold, as if eternal.
A shallow, and somewhat illusory consciousness, faintly responding.
Hongchen suddenly burst into tears.
"Two girls."
When he got home, he didn't look at his wife with a face full of surprise and panic, so Jiang Zhuang led Hongchen into the house.
From a small box at the head of the bed, he took out a piece of Jade Jue, and Jade Jue looked not very precious, milky white, only the size of a thumb, and there were many lines engraved on it.
"Take this for you, don't leave." Jiang Zhuang put Yujue on Hongchen's neck and coaxed her into the house to rest.
Hongchen obediently obeyed her father's wishes, she had just experienced a life and death, and she had met human traffickers, and she was mentally exhausted, so she had long wanted to rest for a while and think about her current state.
Lying on the bed, playing with Yu Jue carefully, Hongchen frowned, a little confused, this thing is very familiar, she remembers that she seems to have seen it at Jiang Chan, but the other party seems to be very precious, and she has been wearing it closely, she has seen it once, and she thinks it is very similar.
But if it was really this jade jue, how could it fall into Jiang Chan's hands?
In her impression, it seems that she heard her father once say that she was sold by the Gu family and lived in Jincheng, and her father couldn't find the money to redeem people, so she had to sell a treasure, the so-called treasure, maybe it refers to this jade jue.
While he was pondering, there was a quarrel outside.
"You're still scolding me? Who am I for? I'm not here for your son? Yes, we can afford to eat now, but do you know how much it costs Brother Yi to study? As far as you earn, you can't afford it at all, his surname is Jiang, and he is your son! ”
Hongchen closed his eyes, only as if he couldn't hear it, but his heart boiled.
How could she not doubt it in her previous life for more than ten years, she was not the daughter of the Xia family...... Jiang Zhuang has dark skin, tall figure, mediocre facial features, Gu is short and fat, with yellow hair, and a younger brother, the younger brother is squinting, although he is fatter, he is round but also black and fat, and he must not be said to be good-looking.
And what about her?
Although there was no mirror at this time, she remembered clearly, Wang Lang, who was used to seeing the stunning color and grew up in the fat powder pile, looked at her, and got lovesick, didn't think about tea and dinner, and tried his best to marry her home.
I remember that at the beginning, since she opened her eyebrows, the village was full of gossip, saying that she was not the Jiang family's species, I am afraid that I don't know where to pick up the wild child, she used to cry when she heard this, uncomfortable, all day long to smear her skin to black ash, drooping her head and not daring to look up, for fear that others would see her face.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh, the villager said it surprisingly correctly.
I didn't expect this mother who only dared to be in the nest to do the work that is rare in the script, the tanuki for the prince.
She took her daughter and exchanged it for the daughter of the Xia family.
Now Xia Chan of the Xia family is the daughter of the Jiang family, and the second girl of the Jiang family is actually a noble daughter.
In addition to Gu's being blinded by lard, the other culprit was Xia Shijie, who was only five years old at the time, the only son of the Xia family.
That year, Mrs. Xia was unexpectedly born prematurely, so she stayed in Jiangjiazhuang to recuperate, and the child was impatient to watch, and hired Gu to help take care of it, but Xia Shijie didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he especially didn't like his own sister, but he loved to hug the blacksmith's little doll, and took the things used by his sister to the little doll for use.
At that time, Mrs. Xia couldn't see it at all, only that her son was holding her own daughter, and even those maids and mothers-in-law were ignorant.
Gu suddenly realized that the noble person in front of him didn't know the child.
Not only did the two babies unexpectedly look alike, but Mrs. Xia had something on her mind, and her daughter didn't have the heart to look at it since she was born.
As soon as she thought of the wealth of the Xia family, she couldn't help but move her crooked heart, wanting her daughter to enjoy this glory and wealth.
How ridiculous!
Her life has changed by accident.
But it doesn't matter, everything has passed, in this life, she is only a red dust, she doesn't want to be surnamed Jiang, and she doesn't want to be surnamed Xia, she is far away from Xia Chan, she doesn't want to provoke her brother Xia Shijie, and she doesn't plan to continue that bad relationship with Wang Shilang!
In a trance, Hongchen turned over, and tightly grasped the short blade that had been by her side for many years, as if in a dream, the dream seemed to be a colorful world, all things were born and raised, a beauty dressed in a cyan robe and men's clothes knelt on the ground, and a long scroll was placed in front of her knees, the text in the volume was very mysterious, and the pronunciation was very peculiar.
Hongchen instinctively shouted when he heard this wonderful pronunciation, and then the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion came up, and it didn't take long for him to know it.
The short blade in her hand shook, and a green qi emanated, surrounding Hongchen, cold and cold.
The close-fitting jade jue was actually bright or dark, flashing with light.
Hongchen gradually stretched her brows, turned over, and fell asleep, even if the two couples outside were arguing, it didn't affect her.
