Chapter 167: 'Marriage Proposal'

The road up the mountain is very difficult, even if the dirt road is always blocked by broken branches and strange rocks. In short, if it weren't for the expectation in his heart that he was eager to know the answer, Xie Ke really wanted to turn around and leave.

At this time, Xie Ke felt very strange in his heart.

She wanted to see that person sooner, and she wanted to lead the team to continue north, she knew that she was too much to gain and lose.

But she couldn't control her emotions.

Cong Rui supported her on the side, Lin Changyuan and Xiao Qingqian were one in front and one in the back. The remaining dozen or so guards looked vigilantly, for fear that some beast would pounce on them and sneak attack.

Compared to them, the dozen or so northerners and the dog team they shouted at were much more relaxed.

Looking at Xie Ke, his eyes were also full of curiosity and a little disdain, as if he felt that Xie Ke's small physique really didn't need to go up the mountain. Isn't it just exchanging mountain ginseng and animal skins for food? Why bring a woman up, it is troublesome and timeless.

Fortunately, although these northern people were a little impatient, they didn't say much.

In fact, they also wondered in their hearts, this girl who was protected by a bunch of men did not look ugly, at least she had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but her face was very ugly, and she looked like a sick ghost.

The women of their northern borders were all strong, and the eldest girl of fifteen or sixteen years old could carry a half-sized wild boar up a mountain.

A small body like the girl who was guarded in the middle would not be married in the north, and I am afraid that the babies born will be as weak as little lambs. They like women with big buttocks and round hips, that is, they are good at giving birth and can do more.

According to them, though. They came from Guanli, and they had heard from the village chief that the world in Guanli was very strange.

Women are not allowed to leave the hospital when they are born, let alone see men with foreign surnames. It is said that there is a thing called "Mingjie" that is very powerful, and if it is broken a little, maybe a woman will not be able to get married. Naturally, being in the north and growing up in the mountains and forests since childhood, they can't understand these rules.

A woman is born to be looked at by men, and she takes a fancy to marry home.

Give birth to a baby and warm the bed. I can also take care of my elderly father and mother in the house......

And with them. No one will protect the woman of the north like the girl. Their women are as strong as men, and some even fight a hungry wolf alone, and they don't need men's protection at all.

So they were very disdainful that the girl was protected by a man in the middle, and that she was so thin and small......

The coarse cloth clothes covered her tightly. Even the little hands didn't show the slightest.

Naturally, they thought it was strange. So I didn't look twice. But the men who were guarding her were like wolves, showing the eyes of the territory being invaded...... It's weird and weird, and that girl. As if he felt their gaze, he swept his eyes at them so lightly.

Then, a dozen young men couldn't help but bow their heads in unison.

It's not that the girl's eyes are so smart, on the contrary, the eyes are faint, and they don't seem to care about their contempt. But the round eyes were extremely black and deep, and even the girl's gray face seemed to become insignificant in an instant.

This girl......

It's weird.

Xie Ke and his party don't care what a few strong boys with dogy bodies in the north will think of them, the people in the north can't get used to them, and they can't get used to these people in the north.

Eat and sleep well with the dog, though the dog saved them. However, this matter still made it difficult for Lin Changyuan and other guards who ate and drank well in Qi Mansion to accept. Even Lin Changyuan frowned all the way, if it wasn't for his own master, why would they bother to mobilize the crowd. I just want that person to be really my own father, and this hard work is not in vain, but if my own father really marries a strong girl in the north as a side room? God, let's send a thunderbolt to kill him. A few words to these northern men almost cost him half his life, and if he saw a northern woman all day long, he didn't want to live.

Besides, what about the young grandmother. Along the way, he worked hard and grudge, and forcibly swallowed all the bitterness into his stomach. This trip to the north, where can the girl bear. But the young grandmother was born.

And from beginning to end, he is the one with the strongest beliefs. She firmly believes that they will find him.

Now it's time to find ...... How is this going to end? Lin Changyuan suddenly felt very distressed about the girl behind him who was obviously stumbling step by step, but he kept biting his lip and was stunned......

He thought, if he poisoned the lord's concubine to death, would the lord twist him to the yamen? This is a question worth pondering.

From noon to sunset, a cliff finally appeared in front of everyone.

Among the strong men in the north, a man who seemed to be a small leader stepped forward. "When we get there, it's the cave where we spend the winter." The man pointed from afar, and through the thin twilight, several people looked up. About ten feet or so of their heads, there was really a dark hole, and after the northern man finished speaking, there was a soft whistle, and a moment later, there was also a whistling sound in the cave.

Then a black thing slowly descended.

The thing fell lower and lower, and Xie Ke and the others finally saw that it was a basket made of rattan, the size of which could fit three or four people. Rattan is tied around the basket......

The man from the north pointed to the rattan basket.

"The most expensive ones go first." It's a rule they follow...... Honorable? Naturally, Xie Ke is the leader.

It's just that Lin Changyuan looked at the basket. "It's better for your subordinates to go first." Then he whispered to Xie Ke...... On the side, Xiao Qingqian also nodded silently, thinking that it would be more appropriate to let Lin Changyuan go to explore first. Just when Lin Changyuan was about to step into the basket.

The man spoke again.

"Whoever goes first, who has the final say......" The words, Lin Changyuan's raised legs were slowly lowered again, if it was a side matter, he could do it for him, after all, his young grandmother didn't like to show her head. But it's about his own father, he doesn't dare to make claims. The man looked at a few people, and finally fixed his eyes on Xie Ke.

“…… Can't? "Don't dare, these two words are not a question, but a statement.

This is a provocation, Lin Changyuan's eyes changed, and Xiao Qingqian on the side was also secretly vigilant. saw Xie Ke stretch out his hand to stop Lin Changyuan, and then replied softly. "Why don't you dare?" Then he walked to the rattan basket step by step.

Let's not mention that the rattan basket looks black, with a little afterglow. You can see the big gap in the four walls of the basket, and I think the bottom of the basket is probably the same. It was this swaying hanging up, and Xie Ke's heart jumped wildly. She felt as if her legs were a little weak. can think that maybe Qi Lu is in the hole, if she is timid at this time, she will definitely be despised.

She knew that most of the women in the north were born tall and stout, and she was not likable like this.

If you add hypocrisy and timidity, if Qi Lu is really on it......

She's really going to lose face with him. She Xie Ke has never been an easy person to admit defeat, but she is almost frightened, and her steps into the basket are still done steadily. The face is not white and the breath is not panting.

"Young grandma." Lin Changyuan shouted softly. He didn't want Xie Ke to take such a risk.

It's a big deal, he went up to see if it was his own grandfather. If so, he would have thought of taking his grandfather away, if not, the young grandmother would not have to take such a risk.

"Nothing. The bento has wings. You don't need to use your legs to fly ten feet, and you're ......," Xie Ke looked down at his feet. Sure enough, she could see the gravel all over the ground through the gaps, and she carefully chose a denser position, for fear of walking halfway. If your feet fall out of the cracks, not to mention the face, you will lose the lining together.

Then he smiled lightly and spoke.

She found that as long as she thought about Qi Lu in her heart, all difficulties were nothing.

Even if he really wanted to marry a barbarian girl from the north, it was actually better than his life being in danger, and she would rather him turn his back on her than let him live well.

Maybe women are stupid. No matter how smart a woman is, if she has a man in her heart, she will become the stupidest person in the world. She was even faintly glad that these people had saved him, even if it was at the cost of marrying the most beautiful girl in the tribe.

The change of mood is only a moment, it can really be described as a moment of heaven and a moment of hell. Just before stepping into the basket, she was still full of pain, thinking that she had a fateful fate and was abandoned by men for two consecutive lives.

But compared to her sadness, his life is the best thing in the world.

Even if she will be heartbroken.

Seeing the relaxed expression on Xie Ke's face, Lin Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Qingqian on the side also slowly let go of the hand that secretly held the hilt of the sword, and then the two turned over to the basket.

When the northern man saw that the three of them were in the basket, he let out another long howl.

Then, the rattan tied around the rattan basket slowly straightened, and the rattan basket slowly lifted off the ground...... Xie Ke's body shook, but fortunately, there were people on the left and right to protect him. This feeling of weightlessness was only for a moment, but it was enough to make Xie Ke feel frightened.

In her previous life, she was always in the inner house, although she was not very rich and noble, but after all, she did not suffer much, even if the people of the Quan family did not like her, they never criticized her in terms of food.

In this life, she has been pampered since she was a child, whether it is in the Xie family, the Chu family, or the Qi family, she is spoiled...... Compared with her father and uncle, Qi Lu actually indulged her even more. As he had said before, he married her, but he didn't want her wings to break. He likes Xie Ke with confidence in his eyes. likes Xie Ke, who rescued her late at night in Dafuze Temple, and Xie Ke, who desperately caught up with his carriage and persuaded him not to do anything he regretted. In short, Xie Ke has never been an obedient girl in his eyes.

But he liked it.

But everything doesn't seem to be as thrilling as it is today.

wolf pack siege; More than half of the horses are missing; bartering grain with the north; In addition, I heard that they saved a team of people a few days ago...... A 'very beautiful' wounded, and kung fu doesn't seem to be weak, everything points to Qi Lu. Until she was in the rattan basket at this time, she completely handed over her safety to these northerners who had only known each other for one day.

For Qi Lu, she really did jaw-dropping things again and again.

But at this time, in mid-air, Xie Ke's mood was calm that he hadn't had for several days......

She calmly told herself that if that person was really Qi Lu, she would first congratulate him on saving his life, if not, she would accept it calmly, and then continue north......

Halfway through the rattan basket, there was a sudden pause, Lin Changyuan said 'rudeness' and then held Xie Ke steady, the next moment, the rattan basket suddenly plummeted, and in an instant, only the whirring wind came into the ears, which seemed to knock the eardrums.

Xiao Qingqian 'brushed' the long sword, and instantly stabbed the sword into the mountain wall on the side, and with a burst of sparks, a more piercing hissing sound came.

Lin Changyuan's face also changed instantly, and the hand that held Xie Ke's arm couldn't help but increase his strength.

The movements of the two were instantaneous, almost electric...... Suddenly, the rattan basket was stunned, and Lin Changyuan looked down to see that it was only more than half a foot off the ground. "What does that mean?" Lin Changyuan asked coldly, and the man who commanded just now stepped forward when he heard this, and took in the expressions on the faces of the three of them.

Finally, his gaze stopped on Xie Ke.

Among the three, it turned out to be this little girl who did not change her face.

This surprised him, and at the same time he felt a little respect for this girl who seemed to be extremely weak, but was very resolute on the road.

I think what the village chief said is true. The girl in Beichen Pass is really very different.

"This girl, in addition to the village chief, is the most capable hunter in the village...... I haven't married a wife yet, I wonder if the girl will allow someone else? He was willing to take ten bear skins as a dowry to marry a girl. "Although it looks weaker, it has a strong temperament, and although the face is not good enough, the eyes are extremely beautiful.

This man's words were extremely unexpected by several people.

The rattan basket fell halfway just now, and it was obviously deliberately done by the other party. Now he is slandering his young grandmother again, which is tolerable, but unbearable. "You deceive people too much, what do you mean by teasing us?" Lin Changyuan is a good-tempered man, usually he always smiles, but at this time, his phoenix eyes looked at the man from the north from afar, as if he was going to pounce on him and tear him apart in the next moment.

The man was startled, and then remembered that this little girl was the master of this group of men.

is really capable, and he can subdue a group of men with his own strength.

"Brother misunderstanding, this is the rule set by the village chief, the cowardly, we will not take in." The man saw that Lin Changyuan seemed to be serious, and hurriedly explained.

Then he looked at Xie Ke and ......, "If I marry you and win each of them, I will work hard." "Boom......

Not only Lin Changyuan, but also Xiao Qingqian secretly clenched his fists, crackling his joints. Xie Ke calmed down, because she didn't see any malice in this man's eyes. Maybe it's really as he said, this move is a rule set by their village chief, and the words that follow.

Does she understand that she is appreciated.

So Xie Ke stopped and was furious with Lin Changyuan and Xiao Qingqian, who wanted to fight with this man. "Thank you for your kindness, just ...... I'm married. ”

The voice was soft and soft, and the northern man realized that although this girl was not amazing, she had a good voice. He spoke like a singing brother, his voice was soft, and it seemed to be sweet.

It was only in the next moment that he understood the meaning of her words.

…… Married? Such a young age. It's a pity, he really thinks this girl is good, so he instantly moved the idea of marrying a wife, you must know that there are several girls in the village who are vying to marry him, and he doesn't nod. Compared with those girls, this girl from the north was born small and weak, but he actually moved the idea of getting married.

This girl was not sent by the gods, so she has magical powers. [Addition, 4,000 words, I wrote 10,000 words today.] The paw hurts...... Qi Er didn't write it.,I'm sorry, I'm sorry.,The next chapter will definitely come out.。 (To be continued......)
